The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE said, be had to present • Petition from a most respectable gentleman, Mr. Rowley Lureßo, complaining of the great expense the Commis.. sinners appoiuted to inquire into the state of the Records in Ireland had put the public to, and praying for inquiry.— The Noble Marquis moved that it should be read, which being done, he staled as there was some important business standing for the day relative to the slate of Deland, be would not now press lb. 'object on their Lordships, bat he hoped his Majesty's Gove►uaneut would take up the subject, and institute an inquiry into what the Petitioner complatued of.—Laid on the table. NAVIGATION ACT.

Sir James Grahams, Sir Thomas Arlaoil, and oilier Mew hers of the Howie of Causeway, brought up three private Bills, which were severally read a first time. PUBLIC STATIONERY OFFICES (IRELAND). The Earl of DARN LEY said, that be‘foro their Lord ships went into the subject of the Order of the Day, be wished to put • question to the Noble Earl at the bead alb* Treasury, who be was happy to see in his place, relative to the subject of the abuses that had taken place in supplying the pestle utlices in Ireland with stationery. He wished to know whether the inquiry which had been instituted by his Majesty's Government had limn concluded? He trusted the Noble Earl (Liverpool) would giro their Lordships some im formation on the subject. The Eitel of LIVERPOOL said, inquiry bad takes place, but was rot concluded; a correspondence was going on relative to the propriety of the contract, and some preposi tion world he shortly made. If the Noble Earl thought pro per to more for a copy of the correspondeure, he did nal see say objection to its brine laid on their Lordships' table. irhe'Earl of DARN LEY Naitl he would now:move for D.

The Margois of LA NS DOWN row, pursuant in his entice, to rall the atteatiou of their Lordship,. to the state of Ire land. In doing so, be had the satistactioa to know, that. bower., liable he was to the charge of presumption, be mist be quite free from that of precipitation. After all that had been *vomit as to the condition of that coun try; after all the pledges and assurances which had been held forth, both in that House and in ■uutber place, ie the early part of the Session ; with the con►iction that the distresses, then great, were more than ever aggravated. and demanded more peremptorily the Matsui att. natio of Pas lianiest ; after the failisre to produce repose and tranquil lity iu the visit of the Sovereign last summer, nothing haring_ bees wanting on kis part to secure every advantage to the country which could he derived from his august presence ; after ft change effected in the government of that country much desired, and supposed at the time to be in the Wettest degree satisfactory, leading as it did to a confirmed hope that the Session would not pass over without an effectual remedial measure being submitted to Parliament—be felt Certain that he should be free from way elterge r,f having acted with improper haste, and that he must be believed in NOW, that he could delay the discharge of thie ditty nu longer. If he felt that any thing like a charge of presuinp tilos might be brought against him, be trusted to that of duty far big apology, and if from the view he had taken of the subject, he should be led into any perms of statement, he felt satisfied at baying so do it is presence allies. whose official information would enable them instantly to apply the correction. He begged leave to observe, that ire all the pain ful circumstances of distress attachiag to the country geue• rally, in all the great and distressiag vicissitude@ occashmed by the alteration of the currency, iu the depreciated value of all produce, Ireland was affected in the same or its a greater degree than Englaud—greater, because in England there were great manufacturing intemle. ilia comparative ere. 'pertly of which lesseiwill ski eloo.t weight of evil; while Ireland, being almost exclusively agricultural, had to suffer that weight of evil without any such means of mitigating its pressure, He held himself justified in omitting to pertictilarize, became their Lordships meet be too well acquainted with the rental of the distress slid calamity sow common to the country. It was his pOticalar dusty to-night to call their titivation to the circumstances which were nem. liar to the state of' Ireland. If it were necessary to seldom proof that the condition of that country was peculiar in re spell of misfortune and the duration of calamity, be had only to refer them to the Statute Book on the table, where they would learn the fact from language far more eloquent than any be could utter. Looking back on the legislation of the last twenty years, it would be sees from the law. brought forward—the language employed for the purpose— the admissions made even by the opponents of those laws— from the acquiescence in allowing the suspension of the trial by Jury—in confiding arbitrary power to the Irish Go vernmeut and Magistracy—in interfering with the several laws for regulating supply and demand—in the interruption of works of public utility—that Ireland was idea's held to be exempt from the application of the (rest and liberal princi ples iu discussion. Ti ial by Jury was praised as the most ex cellent of institatious, except is Irelaad, where it could not be applied. Coufidiug arbitrary power in individual bands, thought to be most hateful and objectionable in other cowl. tries, is Ireland was held to bet indispeosable to the admini• stratioo of Government. It was declared to be odious and intolerable for Governments to interfere with the regulation of supply and demand, except is lrelasd—where such ma nagement was considered as essential to the being of Govern. sent and the order of society. If these assertions were ad mitted—if it were assumed that principles good and true elsewhere became inappropriate nod erroneous in Ireland—if the cup which to other people couveyed a salutary draught, wbea presented to Ireland was converted to deadly poison— if there were sumetbisig so constitutionally vicious is the country as to set aside the regimen of all wholesome princi ples of government for twenty years, was he not entitled to assume that they ought to go nearer the fouudidion to look for the defect—that such circumstances, so continued, proved that the evil originated in other than the generally supposed causes—that it. was vain to seek it in the physical state of' the physical *times** of the country Was it because Ireland was most fertile in her soil—of a situation most !mice, wilb a climate of desirable temperature—blest by Providence with every advantage to produce all thing, fit to make the mistime el bee people per. feet in comfort and enjoyment—was it for these reasons that they remaiued poor amidst the pomp ofserroisoding uatiom— barbarous in the centre of civilisatios—diistracted and re bellious under a goverument the envy of the world and the pride of all its subjects, except those within her territory ? They must look further for the cause of the evil—perhaps it was to be found in the institutions; they must bend their minds to the task and endeavour to find out what connexion there existed between the defects of the iuslitutions and the disturbance and calamity with which they were surrounded. In such a review it would be useless to look for beiseficial results were they to begin by attributing any of the evils to particular indi•idnals or classes in society. However it might suit a weak Legislature to throw ofi' the responsibility eif their defects, by imputing the evils to asy particular class in the community, it would be a trick unworthy of a sound statesniati to use any such impolitic's., except as they were plainleonnected with something in the isstitutious of the muti ny which was abuet to be regulated. It was not now the con duct of the landlords or the clergy they were to consider. They were educated as other meta of their rank—bred to the same habits—active in the same pursuits. It was only as they be came modified afterwards by their conuexion with tbe gene ral system that they differed. The objects alone fit their at. tention were--the populattop of the country in regard to its amunut—the burdens laid upon the population—the genetsl admiaistration of justice —the imposts of every kind, includ ing the tithes. First, as a point affording ace of the roost material views of the subject, they might to look well to the growing increase of the population of Ireland. From an ac count which had been furuished him by a person of great probity and intelligence, be was enabled to state the follow. tog particulars, which would show the rate of increase. By the best authorities it appeared that ion Irelsod the pupula lion was— Is 1095. ',034,000 1731 1791 4,200.000 1804 5,400,000 1621 pearly 7 millions. By a calculation made by au iugenious friend, it was discovered, that iitheteas in Ibo 4, the whole country rated abuut 3 I.9thacres to esch individual. In 1821, the rate would be only 2 5.4 th acres—a state of population without parallel in the worlJ. This was a cousidevation which ought not to estop. them, sod though NO oar would less wish to press it wit► any invidious application, it must ant be left out—that of this population truly shoot 1-14th, as had been ascertained by a geutlesnan well skilled in the sub jeet —cumasuaral with the established church. It bad been said that the rate was 1-10th, but there was sow better au thority fur ling that tally 1 14th attended the services of the church. It was not accessary to call their attention to this greatly increasing population, considered merely in respect to the physical force contained hut to se move a difficulty which struck them at first sight, and to preveut the mistake of supposing that this increase of popu lation necessarily implied an increase of wealth and comfort in society. On the contrary, it was found there that po pulation might rapidly increase, while t►e supply of 'steam; was in as 'lipid dinnaistion, and the people be degraded to that unfortunate degree that the species of food the most easily acquired, the supply of which would be also most sub ject to variation (he meant potatoes), would become the general support sod source of ntainteuance. Thus would they be led to abandon by degrees all sense of self-im pert auce—and driven from all the comforts and respectable en joymeuts of life, they iambi be kashmid to marry and is elesse their families without any hope of obtaining the nee... ..ry means to support their Whining. It was owing to such circumstances of degradation that they had witnessed those f eataesa and glottises., that debasement and hopeless ness of coadttiun which afflicted them of late by the bare recital— •—• " Scourged by (salute from the smiling land, The mournful peasant I h.■ native wreath Aud while he asks, without an eras to sav►, The cowutry lakmass a gulden and a grave." Such was the uJsmity of Ireland. With m e beet an d p l e a . saltiest gifts profanely poured wPww the soil, the clime, and the situation of her genitor!. the people were suffering the most rigurona excesses of disorder, the worst degree of ha usaa want and mammy ever sustained soon mankind. The soma of existesee—pressed down as they were. On the lowest proportion of the poorest food—were warted frown' seder their view to .suppty the Nicene" of a richer twirl. Ie the Mean time, the state of the population, as he had described it, demanded their attention. It was said that with the Prlmetples which, from their operation, produeed such a slate of things, Government had little or nothing folios—little or no power in their hands of remedy. But he had before staled that all the circumstances of the roustry tended to enforce degradation, which went spain towards obit unfortunate in crease of population. There existed in the mode Of govern ment an artitleial bounty or the increase of numbers. That which was must desirable to the people of other coun tries, became a burden of the greatest evil in *eland. Wiwi% he stated that the elective franchise was one greet and prolific cause of the dailery aid disorder of the people, there were Aim* who heard him ready to cor roborate the asearilen with their experience. Poliiiciens, frequi•ntly fbr the objects of base and corrupt ambition, found tt their interest to increase the number of their degraded voters, or slaves, at the elertiose, its a man ner repugnant to every sound principle, either ie‘ morals or politics, mai against all she better earl wholgesier histemeete of seetety. As an Moviraiion of this evil, the custom was to place on lands • mot malty sons who were called villagers-111e member briag ex tended to the greatest possible degree —so that lit one retie there were freeholderi to the amount of nutty registered oa one farm—without any demarcation to assign the relative shares of property—living in common—lighting for the produce iu common--voting in common—and increasing the exuberant population of the laid in common. This was so extraordi nary case. It was minal to have tweet', thirty; or forty per sons so registered for the mime property. With whatever jealousy be would have the elective franchiee guarded, he could ace no reasonable objection to • law which would limit the votei to one for each farm. Not with a view to check the population, but to regulate the increase—not to harem but to confine its growth withlu proper end emlatitutional bounds. He would next proceed to the considered-iris of the burdens of the people. Here he would beg to stale one of the most extraordinary instances of taxation ever beard of— sot interfering with but destroying the comforts—sot even increasing the revenue, but effecting a positive dimi nution of wealth such as had never occurred in the history of fiscal maladministration. The revenue of Ireland In 1807, was 4,387,9A11. Between 1807 and 1815 new taxes were imposed, valued at 3,376,000/. besides 400,000/. which were left of the charges at the conchs sion of the war. The Irish revesue of last year was 3,844,889/. So that the effect of adding 3 millions of se* taxes bad been as actual diminution by some hundreds df thousands leas than the revenue of 1807. It had not failed to benefit the revenue, and removed those useful gradations which gave the best security for the future ii..provement of the people—but so improvidently, so hastily, so guiltily had the measures been premed, that taxation itself was reduced, and lea could beextorted last year from Ireland than before. He would not fatigue them with details upon this branch of the subject, but he could sot resist expatiating on two is mantes, which were remarkable for their illustration of what be had advanced. If there were any articles which might be considered as the deftest luxuries of the poor, sod therefore entitled to feebler sad exemption, they were tea sad sugar. The nee of them indicated that industry bad raised the con sinners above the waist of the ordinary accessories of life— they were to be viewed as the first symptoms of ease and com fort among the labouring classes. In the article of sugar the new taxes had increased the about one-twelfth. In 1607 it was 379,0001.; the average of the last five years was 404,0001. la the last year there was a comparative di• miention of the net; but by the additional duty of 14e. per cwt. the quantity was diminished from 338,000/. to 286,0001. the average of the last five years. In case the tax was more striking; they had not only diminished the consumption, but lessened the revenue. By raising the duty from 701. to 801. and 1001. per cent., the •mount, 527,6031, average of 1807-8.9, bad sank to 451,3001., ge of 1818.19.20. Let not their Lordships disguise it from themselves—these were taxes out civilisation. He remembered to have heard a Right Hoe. and very Learned Grill., now Attorney .G I fur Ireland, Waterer, that every new house erected in Ireland was an additional pledge and hostage given to England for the peace and security of the Government. He would add, that every degree of reasonable luxury added to the obliga tion of the bond. Whatever augmented their enjoyment would tend to raise their ideas beyond their own c , rele—to expand their minds into • sympathy with other nations, and strengthen those ties of society upon obirh the safety of the empire depended. So much for what had been done by taxa-- ties. But it would be but a misted view of the subject to stop at the diminution of comfort and enjoyment, because it mold not be disguised that, looking at the morality of thalcouetry, and the effect of this taxation, together with the mode of raising it, tended to the dissolution of the social bonds—to the diserentinatioa of fraud and violence—and to the i of that feriae means of their support, illicit distillation. He had a statement handed to biro by which he found that such was the temptation offered by the duties on spirits to private and illicit distil- Petiole, that by adopting that mode of life an article which would cost altogether 91., would make 271. Here was a bounty on the violation of the law—but there were collate ral effects equally •larming. The station of say illicit still became a point to rally iiisurreetion ; they were schools iu which rebellion was regularly organised ; they served in each instance as a nucleus to disaffection and violence, verging to rebellious uproar hand this nut only on the part of the peasant, he was as frequently countenanced sod ap proved by his landlord. Seduced by the prospect of rents higher than he coold procure in any other way, he some times secretly unlisted and instigated the direct violation of the laws by his tenants. What was the result ? The pri sons were filled with peewees depraved to the last degree. 111 the last six years there were 5,3b2 persons committed for illicit distill ition, and offences connected with it, of which number 3,916 were actually committed. 'Diem Lonlehips knew iu what a defective matinee the pristine of Ireland were managed. He would leave them to conjecture the effect on the increase of crimes. Driven into the gaols by the laws, which punished infamously those venial offence., they be came hordes of hardened and steeled offenders, prompt at say call to raise the standard of rebellion, and to withstand even armed authorities. So much for the collateral influence of overdone taxation. He came now to the administratios of justice. Before he went into this topic, lie begged leave to read a passage from •u admirable work of Sir Julie Davis, a Protestant lawyer, which characterised the behaviour of the Irish people in respect of their obedience to the laws.— Sir John had thin reflection—" There is no entices under the sun that doth love equal and indifferent justice more than the Irish, nor nay that is more contented with judgment, crest though it be against themselves, so as they have equal proiectios from the laws when they seek the same." If this were the character given them as their uatural one, mad the country remained full of disorders, were they not boned to inquire what could give rise to them He would cast no reproach on the Irish Judges, or the g I administration of justice is say of its breaches. He would refer more particularly to those circum stances which forced the subject on their atteutions. He particularly alluded to the stale of the tnagistracy of Ireland. That was a subject which for years bad called for anseliora lion, sad no attentiois faun yet been given to it. remiss were galled to exercise theft jnehdietzjerst who were without the means of sebsistence, at least without *wog,' means to attach respelt. In every part of Ireland there were !serene' who honestly and disinterestedly devote themselves to the administration of justice; but they were interspersed with person" who had no othet livelihood than whit they extracted is executieg the duties of office. There were magistrates in Ireland fit to be sent to geol. Nosy week hail not elapsed since an application cur mosey had been made to hint by the eon of a Itle fi giltrair is a part of the eoultry with which be wit connected.

Why were ant the Catholic gentry of Ireland selected for the Magis• teary of helmet lii outialiers proportioned to their property Why were they excluded from the Bench and die Grand Ju ries, where the protect' of their property would 'literally direct them to oppose abuses of local charges, and so swore the least defence possible for all the local intermit,' of the dig ' • trine ? If they did sot provide fbr the effectual eager meat of the right given and secured by law, it was as per• feet a denial of justice as any which could be infficte.l by force of law. Besides which, there was the mid effects of the jealousy of the lower classes, that there was Stu plea sure of justice for any party of their persuasion.

He would here give a sentiment from owe of the highest authority —one who was reckosed among the wisest ' and greatest of his species —whose knowledge of be am laws was outdone by his skill in the laws of ma ture—be theist Lord Bacon. It happened that this great man, in the execution of his office, was tilled to glee instructions to Sir F. Osborne, who was proceeding to a high judicial office in Ireland. Lord Baron, at the close of bus official instructions used these emphatic words: "Iffy lakt direction, though It should have been the first, is, that yue should proceed with e q uity In matters of reticle', lest Ireland civilized become more dangerous to us than trebled savage.* The principle was so manifest that it did not re quite Lord Bacon to support it. The insportaece of it iii forthersece of see remedial measure, most strike all who heard him. Though lie had stated enough to account for the disorders which prevailed in Ireland, be could nut tint advert to the system in regard in another series of facts. The tionseqweeces of taxstion had tended to slant out two-thirds of the whole people from the advantages of He strongly deprecated Woe acts of spoliation committed within view of cc. The stamps on law proceeding, were iucressed threefold in !relied; of the mischief of faxition on law proceedings, eves in • rich eonntry, there was comm o nly but one opinion, but, when applied to a poor one, the...nue try meat be driven, as Ireland was, to distraction. I aw pio ceedinis were reduced to our-fourth in the Civil Courts, mid one-half in the ordinary Courts.

He would meadow woe practice of great singularity among them. It was a proofof the great desire to be railed by the lasts which prevailed among them. In the west of Ireland, %tiro oil dispute arose about a small fee. it was Customary f..r the gaits to riot in parties,lreplarly draw. out, rot phiotiff and defendant. They previously agreed that oboe", r Arnold have the damages gives 'against Wm by the @wistaria Bars rister, with him should the property rest. Such was theses"' of Ireland.' tb:t there was an actual barrier to just , rc against , the greater part of the people. One subject he would touch on—the absenieeship of Ireland—being the less inclined to It as lie was himself se example. He Jed sot believe that the riches of the country were affected in that degree by ahcen. tees which was supposed. The rests, as all politics! 'eon., mists agreed, must come out of the surplus produce, and the manage of disposing of them was not likely to afr,et the general interests in any great degree; but the ~,,, ral ef frets were considerable. It was difficult to find is temedy for this disease. The capital of the empire and iltc seat of government would be a constant indswement to sp•nd fortunes here which were acquired elsewhere. Let torte again the effects of taxation because visible. He knew or no way but to make it the interest of the 'epithet!. to re main at home—to take care that they should have on lc ducemeate, from parsimony, to have their children educated on the Coutinetit—that they should be allowed to live cheapest at home; aud, shove all, to do nothing tending to detract from their cousequence but let any pre.tott and favour whirls the Crown had to bestow tie imparted te them, as indecements and rewards for remaining on their e.t.d.,. He now came to the must import's' part of his cubit-et the tithes.

The increase of value in the tithe was in precise proportion to the distress ender which it wee levied, sod is some l'Agt• the impost was paid by penman* who derived from the produce no fiancee whatever. He proposed to state his view of tle• remedy which should be applied in this ease. But be fore he did so he would slate some detail' connected with the claim, and iveserk no the powers with. elurh the clergy were armed for enforcing it. Ile ensue . impumttue to the body of the clergy—he had declaimed . every thing *huh west to impale ones( wiser to individual . or classes. But he complained of the situation is which the , clergy were Weenie-of the powers with which they were armed. He admitted that those powe,a had been leniently exercised, aud the dole" talthfuily admisisieted. Bet the situation was calculated to irritate the flock end lenses the influence of the pastor. While he professed unfeigned le-, spect for the i n terests of the sherd., he west sosioisie that the church we. unleaded for the benefit of helmet, and uot Ireland to Iruncfit the church.
