hid gives notice of his intention to tie brasier of the Cro wi (Mee Sir 11. BURDETT replied its tkt verities. Mr. C.

Sir F. BURDETT thought that it would be a very intion. vitaient practice to pursue in respect to Politicise generally, sad altogether unjoist is frilled to Petitions of actuation splint the conduct of retitle officers. Mr. G WYNN remarked, that if the Petition were to be printed it would remain to risratiatiop all over the country sewers! mouths before the Master of the Crown Office could hare any .opptptunity of justifying himself. Sir F. BURORTT had au objection to poolroom its priatiocof the Pelititio, as be iateaded to baud a motion upon ii.' The Report of the IAA Coroners' Bill was brought sp. The chase requiring the prevent Coroners to qualify •cessr 'ding to the Bill, was withdrawn. The other •nieudroents were agreed to, and the third reading ordered for Wedoevlay seat. Mr. ABERCROM BY postponed his motion for the come. epoodesce between the Lord Advocate and his Deputy, re. *peering the trial of Borthwirk till 'teat *taloa, at the game ttroe be wi.hi d it to be clearly understood that he was ,lea itemised then io prUe'rete *bream to • complete eaposilien. The 'LORI) ADVOCATE said that the course taken was . Ivan upyeredented, but yet he was anxious to have that correspondence before Oa public, and would mil opines the motion. filr. ABERCROMBY said that he was aware .r the hw lution of the Noble and Learned Lord to Nippon the COMMITTEE OF SDPPLY. The Meuse resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. GOULNURN mooed that thellef. be granted fur ad ditional Glebes and Churches for the Irish Clergy. pr. H U 1111 tomploised of the management of the church revenue in Irelaud--espeemity in the collection and appro. pietas of firit fruits, which had furnished scarcely any oda ditiou to the resources of the poor clergy, though the rich clergy had enormously increase/1 their tithes. As there was au account of the value of Irish benefices promised, he trusted Parliament would give socking more till IWO ae rostat were before them. He thought the rich and whip. tones state of the Church of Ireland was a shocking anomaly with the distresses of the country. Su he from giviog to that church, rich enough to provide for this whole clergy of the empire, he hoped to see the lime when the resourretsf that cormorant establishment would be applied to the veers. skies of the country. He opposed the grant. Mr. GOULBURN again protested agatast any nation of considering church property as all all more liable to shell*. lion or conerrxitoo them any other. He described the uses to which the 'rant was to i.e applies*, sad explained the se. enmities in a moral view under which that country laboured, as out having a sufficient clergy to immerse good order sad religion among them. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY said, that it was not to be ex pected that the people would improve from the morals of their clergy, which did not always present itself to them in the heat character, while the country was eaten ap by famine. Mr. S. RICE complained that the clergy bad net com piled with the Art fur making a now valuation of the liv. tags oa every iocretse of their tithes. Hr observed that as half a million store the Union had bees laid out to No effect is new churches and establishments, the fair infer ence was, that there ought to be no inure laid out ; at say ale there could be no hope of doing any good by laving out the mosey le building chnrebes in the most Catholic parts of 'rebid ) where there was frequeotly nu Prolestaat point. lilies whatever. It was very hard that in converting the lrish C.atholies, the arid they heard of Protestaatisin was by a tax to sopport a new cimrcb, lots which they would most Iticely never enter. Mr. C. WYNN maintained the necessity of at ogee sop. plying eharches fur all the districts of bellied; since Pro -Ir:tardiest was the established religion, there should be mean for enabling all those of that petsaaaloo to observe its worship. Mr. H. GURNEY was a Mend to churches and tie Protestant religion, but the question was as to the tape showy of miriii.ati Chefehet ite districts wholly Catholic, in which, la many instakces, so service woo pmforbed ewe inlay years together. Mr. H. G. BENNETT said the whole questioa was, who 'mkt to pay for the new establishments ? The 11th Awn. twatalted the answers to that question. That statute di. retied the appropriation of Ant fruits to this very object 1 end yet how monstrous did it appear that this clergy, the richest and most useless in the world, one which took the bast care of its flock, and was the hest paid for it, "Would la ten years have furuislred only 2,9001. towards that feud by Ars fruit,. Mr. HUME gave some explanations to thew the greet atolact of the Commissioners of First Fruits in recovering the dues under the statute of Anue. Lt one case, a parish In the diocese of Deblois, they bid recovered something more than 9001., but it was at sit capitate of more than 7001.; and ilits peewit d to be one of the must active and profitable exec. tons they bad made in that way. Mr. GOULBURN said a few words in defence of the Board of First Fruits, and the conduct of Government in re. prd 19 that fond. Mr. R. MARTIN would vole fur the Resolution, became ft would give great relief to the pour of Ireland. Mr. MONCK recommended • present ouspeation of the grant. He Mil not wish to see the property of the church Injurer/sr Wringed a. y more than other property; but it newer tdle been held that it was doing any toren to that pro. , reit to apply it to t h e repair and keeping up of the chlorin-9. A divisisin took place on the Resolittion-- For the question, Against it Majority .... Oa our retain to the gallery, Mr. It.

Mr GEORGE HILL supported the Resolution, and read several papris euminuaieated to the Irish Government, to Ave the adyantsge of it to Irish industry sod rnsusrfhe *area.

After • fen wo,ds from Mr. S RICE and Mr. HUME, the Rasultition vas agreed is. Mr. GOULBURIN moved a Resointion for granting 2701. additional to the Chairman of the Board of lulaird Naviga tion to Inlaid. Mr. HUME objected to this grout, while there were al retdy ire Directors in this Board at beof. a-year cads. Mr. COULUURN enlarged open the duties of this Board, for the Chairs= of which be thought 6001. a yesr 11 so means too large • salary.

Mr. H. G. BOtrihrr ri g id, that from all the informalleth which he bad been ble to obt a i n , t h ere appeare d to be he as branch o f the publi c akpeadititre so alionelem and stableness iug • waste of the public money ae in this. No toe flame 3,1100/, a iear was expended by the Government in Iteeli. ins op the psdilis Gaulle and the remold-miler of the vote was applied do the keeping up of certain country newspapers in . Ihe Government interest. The obvious imendess 9f rarb•Ment in venires grants of money for t h e ppkiit a si m , al proclamations, and other Government advertisement*, was to obtain for them the greatest prissi• ble publicity, for which end It was natural to suppose that they would be 'lnserted in those Papers Irina had the most extensive circulation ; Ott the contrary, in fact, appeared have been the practice in Ireland. Tire Hon. Memberiben stated that the Dublin Patriot, which paid to Government for stumps and duties only 4691 e•year, and other Jourusdr, which contributed still lees to the revenue, bad regularly received cousiderable soma from Government for the publication of proclamations, while the three most widely-circulated Dublin papers, which paid together about 5,000/. a year for Julie., lied not received a single shilling fur Government advertisements. It was also a frequent practice to publish these Prociantettons Journals primed in counties which had no eonnexion whatever with the subject of them. He field in li. hand a paper contaioing latices of several cases in which such Proclamations had tint appeared in the Papers published in the county to whieb they referred, while they bad bee' i led in others printed 120 miles off. The only purpose which sects a mode of circulating Proclonatioas could be intended to serve was that of paying • retaining he to partieolat J is. In one country Paper he found • Proclamation, dated IS months back, and another II months hack, relative to disturbances in a distaat part of the country, where ant • single number of that Paper circulated.— l• another paper be saw • Proclamation doted three Years bath. sad repeated iastances of Proclamatioes advertised wine, seven, five, and three months after date. Thin could only have been done with a view of pointing out such journals as brill in the favour of Guthroment ; and so far was the practice carried, that he was informed, to the Mu ter's Office in Dublin, parties were directed not to invert their advertisements in any papers that were ant in the Go vernment interest. Ho concluded by moving, as an amend natost,-" the sum of 21,500/." instead of 7,00 W. Mr. GOULBURN amid the question, for the Committee to consider ear, whether it was expedient that She Government of Ingrid should have the means of giving publicity to the Proclamatious which it might find it necessary to issue front time to time, and whether that object could be more effeciu. ally obtained than by thair insertion in She papers that were circulated it that country' It was true that Prods motions did often appear at very long dates in soir.e of the country papers, but thin wee owing to the choice of the edi tors, who adopted that method of filling •p the gaps th their columns occasioned by the dearth of intelligence wad their own want of Ingenuity. But that was • matter rather of complelat from the subscribers, than of interference en the part of the, Goveroment to prevent it. Every pains was taken that the money should be fairly applied. Eich journal In which the Goverunietit proclamations and advertisemeats were officially ineevted mat in its bill, which was regularly examined, and ifthe charge was corona aceurdiag to the length of the advertisements, it was paid of coarse. With respect to the selection of the journals for advertising, if the person chwged with the publitation of the Govern. ment advertireatrate was nut to have the liberty of choosing is what papers be would have them Inserted, be was at a loss to know what exereile of discretion could he intrusted to an officer in the public service. The Hon. Member bad acid, list there was no reason why the eviablishmeat of the Dahlia Gaulle should be kept up. The same might be seidof the Landon Gazelle; but it shoold be remembered - that those were the papers in which all legal notices were directed to be inserted; and if they were now to be dropped, it would be ry to make an alteration io the law, by submitutieg some other papers in their stead, as ot authorised sad sufficient publication of arch notices. While the Gazelle was held to be nec eeeee y, he thought the Committee could nut adopt the innemlinent of the flue. Member, breathe on his own 'hewing it would reduce the suns at the disposal of Government, for the per. r ose of further publication of its advertisements, to less than 1,0808. chick was far from *deviate to that object. Mr. HUME said the Right HO* Gentleman had not at ail noticed the objection of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bennett), which was not to the publication of the prochmatious, but that the object of publicity MIS defeated by the selection of those Papers fur their insertion, which had little err no cir. callatios. Carriers Jorrnal, for inetaace, which paid ac cording to the return on the table, 1,3071. •-year for stamps, bad not received any part of the money paid by Government for the public advertisements; while the Dungunnoa Journal received 1001. a.yeir Lora the Go vernment, and so confined was its circulation, that el. though he bad made repeated applications to several persons in that tows to obtain a copy, be hail not been able to pro- cure a single paper. He was indeed informed that only two or three of each number were printed, which were sent to Government, to terve as vogehers to prove the pabliea. tioo of the prolaenatiow and advertisoneute. Why were out the Government proclamations in Ireland published in the same manner as in England ? Here they were in serted in the Gazelle, and not in any other paper. If the same were done in Ireland, the Dahlia Gazelle would be raised into • tolerable circulation, Inisrad of printing *boot 50 copies only, which were clielly disposed of in the Cieverammit afices, rnd that it was au expense to the country of 3,1211. in the last iear. 11e bud beard that the Hibernia', Journal, a paper published in Dublin three times a week, bad been purchased by Gotrereasent at • large sum, although the whole propergy is type and materials altoge ther Will out worth 50/. Thin the purposes for which this proelewmaion money one given were not answered. He board the Right Ilea Gentleman would set his face agalust these pearlier', and phew the determiamian of Govensmeal nut to cooliw the publics:lea of the Government proclamations sad advertisements to papers only. Socha line of con eloo would lead to winch good, and peeve extremely effectual towards putting down sham Orsoge spirit whieb was one of the greeters wasereeserldioseution,diecootent,andebeturbasice in Ire. land. He had to regret that this partial system of distribistlim the G.iveromenl advertisement's, which had long been se bed in 'reheat, should hare made its way to so greet au extent as it bad to England. The Han. Member rhea tittered into I some details respecting the weekly and daily Loadon Press, to thew that the Government advertisesseats hsd been di,- Paneled in a spirit of partiality and favour toward. those papers winch supported ministeriel polities. without regard to the rotas of thew circulation, mod 10 the exchision of Opposition papers. That was a most improper mthropria. Goa of the public money, which nothing could sameno• ; no Government ought to adopt such • mode of p mina fur opinion's sake. He knew it had lung been acted on en Ireland, beet be had never expected to fee it followed its I England. Mr. GOULBUR N said, that say person who was aware of the duties list devolved upon • person filling the sit•atioa which he bad the honour to hold, would sea therein *olio. factory reason shy he bad not hitherto devetted any portion of his time to inquiry ions the character and conduct of the newspapers in Ireland, and of the manner iu which the Goverment advestisrosents were appo e i thg ed to them, an d why he *booth not at present be able to afford the Corn. t unities any particular itsfuresation on those pull.llo. With respect to the Denegannon Joke-nal (the Right HOll. Gentleman could scarcely proceed for the laughter of him aelf sod friends during this part of his spnedb), thickness stance of the Hon. Member's diligence sot having enabled him to procure a copy, rather proved the great request in whirl, that paper was held, and the onwilitagoeso of those who herniae poosessed of its numbers to part with them again. Urger soch eietthmalancee the Edit. and Proprietors were rather entitled to the thanks of the Hon.

If the Right Ron. fientlemia itle t nirel, he would find that there were papers kept so in Irelaud solely to entitle the proprietors to a share of the money given for the publicelion of Proelasmitos and Goekriimeut advertisements. One paper had, on a former occasion, been mentioned by an Hosourable Friend of his in that 111)allf, as being emsdneted on violent principles, and kindling great party animosity, and haciug no existence phi whet it &sited from Govern. meet support. lu conseiriance of the impression produced by that sintement in the tiptoe, the support of Goverometa Was moan after witiodiawn, Awl the wiper in question intent, diately fell. He trained the Right Hon. Gtiitlema• world find his duly to the public required hint to pursue the same course. He thought the expense of keeping up the Gazelle much too great. Mi. GOULBURN said, that Government were taking measures to reduce that expense. Mr. HUMS said, that notwithstanding the faeet hies nem of the Right Hon. Geutlemais as to no payments !Moog made to the peoglisinon Jot:reel for inserting the Goveriallest proclamatioes, it was trite that Buell appeared to be the fact from the returns on the table.

Id the Right Honotarsble Gentleman deny, UN his honour, that Mr. Camnii.g and Mr. Richardson bail re ceived pensions of 1001. a year, paid out of the Seeeet Service money perhaps, Oa ass oilier account than their eon.

Mr. GOULBURN said he had framed the different Hems upon the model of preceding years; but that cussiderahle reductions would be made under sonic of these beads of charge. The motion was then agreed to. 7,2110 f. were voted fur the salaries and expenses of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Temporal sod &claims tical Courts is Ireland. On the Resolution for the grant of 20,000 f. for the Army Extrsordiusries in Iraluati— Mr. HUME hoped is another year that some account would be given of the manner is *lnch this sum was expended.

That establishment was formerly administered by live Governors at fixed salaries, whose time was devoted to the au periotendenee of the institution. At length, the Government thooght proper to (image the mode of masagemeal,asid to have it administered by one Governor with a salary,•nd sit unpaid Committee. This individuals who were Governors at the period hvu thet arrangement was adopted, had filled their 'Mall.. lions upwards of thirty years ' and discharged their duties with the utmost assiduity, and given perfect satisfaction. He submitted, therefore, that they had • claim on the hence°. kute sad justice of Parliament. One of Meal, who held an other situatioe, with a salary of 5001. was emitted in this grant. Another was a reverend clergyman, who had served the institution fur thirty years, who had sow no more tibia • *alai, of TOL • year, and a small living in Dohlin of 501. • year snore; whose case be submitted required some consi deration. The ethers were also he equal need of the Amen- Hos and bounty Id Parliament. Mr. W.

Mr. HUME said, that a Report on the table staged the institution to have gone us much better under the manage ment of one 'governor than of the former Ave. It appeared to him not • lithe extraordinary, this individuals should be considered u entitled to • public ',retsina for Laving ad. wi•iatered • public charity.

Mr. H. G. BENNETT enforced the suggestion of bla Run. Friend (Mr. Hume) that Government should provide fur the Rev.

Mr. S.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT proposed, that a rum not exceeding 400,00d1. should be granted to provide for certain civil ex penses not included in the civil list. Mr. HUME objected that a sum of money should he placed by anticipation iti the hands of his Majesty.

It was alleged that the Defender had purchased of one William Smyth certain information which be had atimired during his confidential service is the employ of the Pursuer's agent; that this infoemation afterwards formed a principal ground of an anion whieh the Defender had raised against the pursuer, and which was carried on an appeal !afore the House of Lords; that the present Pursuer, altliongh the sp. peal bad bees decided in his favour, and although he had been allowed professioual nuts its that action, had, netwith standing, incurred vast additional expenses, amounting to 2,600 f. The prevent action was to recover damages for that loss, and also a soltdirena fur the injury to ebb I .is feelings sad his reputation had for a long time bees exposed, from the unmerited stigma which this litigation had cast upon his family.
