It was not be attributed, to but it appears et the member, where several motives could country had so much altered that it had become a matter at all events worth consideration, whether it might not be advantageous even for Ireland itself that the separate executive should no longer exist. (Hear, hear.) In a debate on this subject, many years ago, Sir R. Peel gave as a reason, and as a conclusive reason, against the abo lition of the Lord-Lieutenancy, that it was necessary to have a Lord-Lieutenant, in order to consider, in capital cases, any applications which might be made for mercy ; but the increased facilities of communication which had been established had removed any difficulty there would be in applying in such cases to the Home Secretary. (Hear, hear.) No doubt it would be better to have only o ne administration for the whole kingdom, and that was the opinion of one of the wi s est statesmen who had ever arisen in this country. When the Union of Scotland took place, the Scotch Privy Council was a time honoured body, and possessed of every advantage which had been attributed to the lord-lieutenancy ; but Lord Somers said that the Union would never be complete unless there was one administration for the whole co un- try, and he therefore ineiated upon its abolition : (Hear, tear.) There was no doubt great difficulty in saying what should be put in the place of the Lord-Lieu tenancy. When be (Lord J. Russell), seven or eight years ago, introduced a measure the second reading of which was carried by a large majority, he proposed that there should be a Secretary of State for Ireland. Many persoul felt a strong objection to that proposition, on the ground that it would keep a separate Irish adminis tration. He (the noble lord) thought there was great force in the objection which had been made by his right hon. friend the late Lord Chancellor ; but that certainly was not the question that night ; and there were ways in which the difficulty might be surmounted. In the Home-office there were many function 3 which did not properly belong to it, and which might be separated from it. If that were done there might be only one Secretary of State for England, SOottaud, and Ire land ; and that would be far better than having two Secretaries of State. If that suggestion were adopted, it might be neces-ary to create — a separate adniinisl tration, or the duties of the Board of Trade, the Board of Health, and other departments might be increased. (Hear.) With regard to the motion before the house, if he had found that the Government were alto gether opposed to it—if the Chief Secretary for Ireland had said that the office must be perpetually maintained, and that the Government of Ireland could not be carried on without it—he should at any risk have supported the motion of the hon. member for Sheffield. But the Chief Secretary said nothing of the kind. It was true that he said that there was great advantage in the personal com munication which the people of Ireland had with the Lord-Lieutenant; but the advantage was counterbalanced by the want of personal communication here. Gentlemen connected with Ireland who had any application to make to the Government were certain of a favourable recep tion from the Lord-Lieutenant ; and hence a Lord-Lieu tenant was always more popular than a Secretary, but the Lord-Lieuteaaut had of course to report the case to her Majesty's Government, and he could not do that so well in writing as the deputation had done, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer or the Home Secretary might take quite a different view, and totally refuse the application. He (Lord J. Russell) believed that when gen lemen had what was really a public question to bring before the Administration, they would have a better chance of success if they had come to London than if, as at present, they were only able to state the case to the Lord-Lieutenant. (Cheers.) The matter was a difficult one; but was entirely one for the Executive Govern ment, and he should therefore be disposed for the present to leave it in their hands, and support the previous ques t Lion. The noble lord the Chief Secretary seemed to think ' that a time might come when tho members for Ireland would be disposed to look upon the proposed change with favour. Under these circumstances, he (Lord J. Russe 1) thought it would be a great disadvantage if they came to a vote e high was considered by the representa tives of Ireland as intended in any way to hurt their feelings or to go against their wishes. (Hear.) For his part, he would rather see the question fairly and calmly discussed—he would rather see it put upon ;he represen tatives of Ireland to reconsider it. If that were done and if the government would also consider the best mode of meeting the ditficul y, they might in a short time arrive at a solution which would be much more satisfactory to alt parties than if a vote of that house were carried against the wishes of the present and the views of the late government. Mr. WALPOLE warned the house against being carried away with the notion that the present govern ment felt they could see their way at this moment to make the change proposed. He quite agreed with every word which had fallen from his noble friend, and that the course the government ought to take was not to ne gative the motion, but simply to say that they ought not at this time to agree to the substitute indicated by the bon. and learned member. (Hear, hear.) Before they agreed to the proposition before the house it ought to be shown that the advantages of the proposed substitute would counterbalance the advanta i es of the present system ; whereas he bel e ted that in several respects a Lord-Lieutt nancy wa-; infinitely better than the specific preposal of the hon. gentleman. (Cheers.) In the first place, it was a great advantage that so much local know ledge should be brought to bear upon the executive in Ireland. The beneficial results arising from having a local authority resident in Ireland had been strongly il lustrated by his noble friend. The Lord-Lieutenant had to be in communication with 600 petty sessions, with 71 stipendiary magivratee, and with a vast number of assistant barristers. He had to superintend, in fact, the whole criminal jurisprudence of tins country. He had also to exercise a control over the army and the police, and he was the temporal head in all eccledastical mat ters. In a word, all the filactions of the Queen herself ' were vested in the Lord-Lieutenant when the Sove reign was not in the country. Now, if a Secretary of State a ere appointed in Ireland he must be absent from Lie post during the whole of the Patlipnentary session, or else his duties must be perbrmel by some sub ordinate officer, an arrangement which could not be re garded as a beneficial one. He (,Ir. Walpole) had voted in the majority on the noble lord's (Lord John Russell's) measure sterna years ago. He had done so because he thought that there would have been some enlestltute found for the Lord-Lieutenancy, and because he thought that whether the change took place would depend upon the wishes of the people of Ireland. (Cheers ) The more the discussion proceeded in 1850 the more strongly ib came out that there would be a great inconvenience in appointing a Secretary of State for Ire land. That was a difficulty which he believed the noble lord himself felt. (hear.) Because, if they appointed a Secretary, they would be ceding the principle which had been established when the exchequer of Ireland was con solidated with the exchequer of B gland. Great advan tage had accrued from having only,nne exchequer ; and it was equally desirable that the functions of the execu tive shoull also be consolidated. (Hear.) With two Secretaries of State there might be a conflict of opinion, and if they did not agree there would be a weakening in stead of strengthening of their functions. They might have two leghletione at the same time—one applicable to Ireland and the other to England—when their object should be to assimilate the two as far as possible. If they had a Secretary of State for Ireland, he must reside here, and residing here it would be difficult to provide at the moment for cases of emergency. (Hear.) At present there was one pervading mind running thrcugb the admi nistration of affairs, and he did not think they ought to part with this advantage till they were sure, or at least had something like a probability of being able to obtain superior or equivalent advantaee; without losing those he had pointed out. Tnese were the reasons why he thought that this government, or any government, could not t h s a e y e e t dh iaffit c a u t l t t i h e i s s w m e o r ril e e t h a o t , r o o u r g a h t i a y n g y pe o t s ov c e i r fic , t h t t e m ytte e u hcon , eottrurh n alidet - i ear, dh e , ao r iv which aei hear) c) i ea n m al rTp.)o6 a o :y respects Tegr,ulaeistntiqo answered ad_ : Dublin e s w t i aos:o led dah whether abolish p rn w o a i r s a e b b r e l Y i t a n . t enrL(otolloffinc further consideration, whether they could provide a sub stitute which would enable them to govern Irela id wisely and temporately, and by means of that local inforusation which the Government now possessed, which would enabhs them to exercise the powers of government promptly and vigorously, and to secure thereby a good administration of affairs and full attention to the wants of the people of Ireland, and at the sane time get rid of any difficulty which might arise from conflict ing or concurrent authority. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON begged to state in a few words the grounds on which he should vote fir the motion of the previous question. Any one who attentively gave his mind to consider the principles of administrative im provement must on the first blush hold, he thought, that it would be advantageous to abolish the efface of Lent . Lieutenant, and to make same other arrangement for : conducting the affairs of [ref old. But if such person looked a little deeper int) local circumstances and re flected on national feelings, he might be led to think the arrangement was more dietteU than at first eight it ap peared to be. (Heir.) Tee arrangement, no far as ad milistrat vs functions wire c rrcerned, would be very simple and In ac'exable. At one time he thought that it might be advantageous if the office ef Ler l-Lieutenant were aboliehed, and a second Secretary of State for the Irish department created, but second zeffiction taught him that that would not necessarly be an advantageous arrangement. He thought that if some of the dutit s now connected with the Home-office senre treraferred to other departments, the Home-office might well he able to trans act the whree business of Eeg aid and Ireland with the aid of an Under-Secretary of State. (ll.nr ) Therefore, as far as the organisation of adruinietrative functions were concerne I he sew no itomrrnoun,ab'e difficulty in the arraegenaent proposed. And there were marry things belonging to the present tins eyelet' diminished the difficulties that in former years opposed such arrange nn.nt. He remembered being in Dub:in when sailing packets were the only method ef commuuiceti in, and when for six days no Eeglish m=ill had arrived. Bat now the communcetiou by electric telegraph accomplished in six minutes what in former times was not done in six days Therefore the improve m -nt , f modern times gave laeilities of cemmuilicetion both of persons and ii.f ,rota tion, no ich rendered the change more easy than in any for:ner period of trill , . However, there were other circumstances which onu,t le ed them to look before them. (Hear.) The cane cf Scotland had been urged as au anasootis case, in order to show that It was not neces ary to have a ceto administration fir Ire land. But the tiouee ,hould roe :fleet teat the internal clr curnstarice s of Sc 4 land and Ireland were different. (Hear.) The people of Scotland, wt . h the cue •ption of small diff.rences of ecohniastic,l dieeipliee, were: united in religious doctrine, but the case was, une)rtueately, different in Ireland, and those religions differences amongst the people of Ireland must give r:se to more questions of controversy, and must embitter those ques tions ire a greater degree than in Scotland. (Hear, hoar.) Tuere was, tlerk f we, advantage in having a local autho rity to settle those questions without referring them to London; and there was great advantage, if these goes tious were to be locally settled, that they should be settled by high h • i en eae __ aut env, such as that of the Lord .""itt who, generally speaking, did not btl mg to the country, and wha acted with impartiality between the two parties, instead of by an officer of inferior rank, whose sympathies must necessarily be engaged on the one side or the other. (Hear, hear.) There were, there fora, some circumstances which counterbalanced the ad vantages of that unity of administration which in itself would be a great benefit to the general interests of the country. But after all, the decision of this question ought to be left to the feeling of the people of Ireland. (Cheers.) If the people of Ireland agreed with some of those who had spoken that evening, that the oontinuance of this image of royalty was no longer of any use, and formed a barrier which interposed between them and their real sovereign—if the people of Ireland thought that local circumstances rendered it desirable that this establish ment should be aboliehed, he should at once be pre pared to vote for its abolition, and the substitution of another arrangement. (Hear, hear.) But if, on the other hand, he was led to believe that the present tem per of the Irish people clung to the establishment rather than wished for its abolition, he did not think that the small saving of expense or the advantage, undeniable as it might be, of greater unity of adminis tration should counterbalance the feelings and opinions of the people of Ireland (cheers from the Irish members)—and he thought that Parlarrent should defer to the national feeling on that point. (Cheers.) He thought the pirople of Ireland had a right to expect that Parliament would defer to their opinions in favour of the existence of the office of Lord-Lieutenant. (Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK, in reply, said he had been accused of great presumption, being an humble and private mem ber of Parliament, in daring to bring forward this ques tion, and that it was a singular mark of his audacity to do so. (Laughter.) But let the house rememb r the authorities he had. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He had the authority of the noble lard who sat on his right band—(hear) —who in 1850 brought in a bill expressly with the intention of abolishing the office of Lord-Lieu tenant and appointing what was then called a fourth Secretary of State. The noble lord's bill was supported by the late Sir R. Peel, by the present Home Secretary, by the noble lord the present Secretary for Ireland, and in fact by the whole of that bench—('' hear, hear," and laughter)—and a majority of the members of that house. Then he was told that he was opposing the feelings of the people of Ireland ; but how was he to judge of that when in 1850, just after the famine in Ireland, and the people were suffering from bad government, a majority of the Irish members voted for this very amendment / (Hear, hear.) India was now suffering under a double government, as Ireland had been suffering from it in 1850 ; and as the noble lord near him rushed with a bill to remedy the government of Ireland, so did the noble lord the member for Tiverton rush with his bill to re medy the evils of the government of India. (Laughter.) Seine eight or ten years had passed over since the famine in Ireland ; and if in 10 years' time some one prepoaed the previous question in reference to the government of India, did any one suppose that the noble lord the member for Tiverton would vote for it, as the noble lord on his right hand was going to vote for the previous question that night ! The noble lord near him was not unversed in politics in 1850—he had arrived at the years of discretion at that time, ho supposed—and when he brought in his bill be must have thought that he was providing a remedy for the evils of the government of Ireland. S r R. Peel voted with the noble lord ; and y e t he (Mr. Roebuck) was charged with audacity fcr following iu the steps of the noble lord. (Hear.) He had no doubt there was some truth in that statement. (Laughter.) But another thing was said—the previous reOestien had been 'hayed. Ho was the victim of the pre vious question. (Laughter.) Last year he brought in a p'ain and simple proposition for the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy, and ho was met by the hue and cry that he bad not proposed a substitute. The then member for Yarmouth moved the previous question, and the whole . of that beech went ou t w ith him. The noble lord was not present, but h o un d erstoo d th a t h e gave an h on . member authority to quote his opinions strongly in fa vour of his motion. Toe right hon. and learned Attor ney-General for Ireland (Hr. Whiteside) made a won derfully eloquent speech, and he never heard more ca. ital abuse c.f the offi ce o f th e Lord-Lieutenaet -I(hughter)—but he saved himself by voting for the pre eloll3 question, on the ground that he (Hr. Roebuck) had not proposed any substitute for that office. He now proposed that substitute, and the right hon. and leareed gentleman still voted for the previous question. (Laughter.) The late Chancellor of the Exchequer said tee had great obj -ctioa to the multiplication of Secreta ries of State. He said that four was a good number, but that flee was a bad number. (Laughter.) Was it indeed? Theu how came his government to propose a filth Secre tary of State fir the government of India. ( dear.) The right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary said the Lord Lieutenancy was better as a local authority than a secre tary of state. Bat he would ask whether anything was dove without the authority of the Home Secretary, and whether the gracious answers given by the Lord-Lieu tsualt to deputations in Ireland were not frequently overturned by the cool and calm directions of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer and the liplue Secretary I (Hear, bear.) The fact was the Lord Lieutenant was nothing but an Tale pageant, and what he said in open ing the debate came upon him at its close, that the die tribution of responsibility between the Home Secretary, the Linl-Lieutenant, and the Irish Secretary, destroyed responsibility. (Hear, h-ar.) Why did they refuse en this occasion to vote for that which in their hearts they approved of ? (Hear, hear.) Because to the present Government, as to every other Government, it was in copvei lent to no so. (dean) The noble lord the Se cretary far frelaiid sail leave it to time, a change was Coming over t' e opinions of the Irish people on this question. The noble lord had indulged the house with a calm, cone toou., and excellent speech that night, but he racollected another speech in which the noble lord spoke in a different frame of mind of the L t.:4-Lieutenant 1 of Ireland, and wi- h the permission of the house he Iwould refresh the memory of the noble for +. (Laughter.) On the secom; reading of the bill introduced by the noble lsrd nsar irim, the noble lord thus spoke. He quoted from Ilansurd : "L ioking back as he did upon toe his tory of Ireland, he believed that that history was but one continued scene of misgovernment. He looked upon the office of Lor .slsieutenant ar the chief feature of that system, and now that it was proposed to abolish that office, he could but rejoice at the change." (Laughter.) Again, in page 1439, lee hand these words of the noble lord : "As an Irishman he could not view with any feeling cf el tem a measure which might have the effect of drawing closer the bonds of union between England and Irsletel. It Irish influence was really to be felt—if Irish interests wore really to become powerful—it was not by provincial, but by imperial influence that those ends were to be obtained. As m emb members intrigueo f the iu imperial the C a senate, Irishmen coaA far hater mi n i s t er to toe we lf are of Ireland, tha n by backstairs Dublin." (Cheers and laughter.) Then he was askeo on what minority he made this motion. (Laughter.) Second thoughts, it was said, were best ; but second thoughts sometimes came under very peculiar cironce• esa e -s—(laughter) —and the noble lord's speech tc-night owed its origin, he supp shed, to the peculiar circum stance s in which he 110 W wag. (Hear, h ar, and laughter.) The hot , . member for Norfolk (elr. Bentinek) assailed him in a mode which he did not think he ever deserved. (Roar, hear.) But there was a bucolic state of mind, on which to cast arguments was very much like throw.. ing seeds ueon a rock. (Laughter.) He had done his duty in this matter. He fonnded his proposal on great authorities—authorities on which he had more faith thsn the authors themselves had. (Laughter.) He supposed it was o :yin to his fault that the question failed that niglit, for it could not be that the noble lord, and those whe fillowed them, and who were wise, reasonable, and exoerienced, did in 1850 what they were ashamed of in 1858. (Laughter.) In conclusion, he would only say that if any hon. gentleman were going to vote for the previous question in honseqnence of the last portion of his resolution, it was his intention to strike eff that part of his motion if the house negatived the motiou of the previous question.

THE DESIGNS FOR MODEL BARRACKS AND PUBLIC OFFICES. Mr. B.

(Loud cries of "Read, read," and Imghter.) Mr. WALPOLE sail he had of en exorcised a wish that earns s cps sh ou ld be t•skan far curtailing the ex pense of printing reports of this kind. He hoped the treater wool n. , t drop until it was put on a better foot log.. He disapproved of the system of commissioners ruak'ng separate reports. The motion was agreed to. AGRICULPuRcu STATISTICS (SCOTLAND). Mr. CAI RD cal the attention of the house to this , übjeet, ' Li' t a 'Ai ; w to the future o.diection of statisticF. 'Pnose co Lctial volip„tarily in Scotland had peen of great pul lie utility, and no cla,s derived more benefit fr.an them than the farnvrs themselves. They had now 13.:en publidred for four years. He would suggest in suture that the acreaoe of crops under cultivation should b rv-c:u-tairi ased 'a precaution against scarcity. The of the proltica was very expensive, and of ittla u'e. By confining the return to the acr , ?a , .4") of crops u...der cultiv a ion much expense would be avoided, and an uulertaking be cosmic to between the Goverlimo.,t an I ths Highland Society. The hon. gentleman cor.clud e d by movng fur papers relating to the agricultural statistics of Scotland. M".. II LICK said that tl e parties connected with the li gill mud Soc'e'y had come to the det, rtninatiou not to coati:. U 3 the lasour g they bad for eerly carried on. Alr. BLACKBURN doubted th c utility of these tatist,cs. 1 4 -ey came out so many mo,ths after the arves, that they Were of nn use whatever. As to the acreage that was no guide at all to the amount of the crop. The difference between the G-Jvernment and the Ilighian'i S City had arisen from the Govern ment objecting to the very small charge which was in curred and which was below the estimate. A'ter a few words from Sir J. OGILVY, Mr. PENLEY said ho believed the return to the hon. member's motima would be nil, for there were n.) further pap,:n. (Laughter.) The statements of the Scotch members did not hold out much encouragement to the Government to move further in thii direction, as they said the statistics would be useless if obtained. After the Easter recess it would be his duty to see what could be done with rewectto Scotland. (Llear.) The motion was withdrawn. NAVY" RETURNS. Sir C. NAPIER moved for returns of the number of continuance service men in the fleet on the Ist day of January, 1857, and the number discharged that year, and whether discharged by survey or not—of the number of continuance service men in the fleet on the Ist day of January, 1858, and the number since entered—and, of the number of first and second class boys in the service on the Ist day of January, 1857, whether apprentices or not, and the number discharged, with their own cnn• sent or by survey; also, of the number on the Ist day of January, 1858. After a few remarks from S r J. PAKINGTON and Sir C. WOOD the motio❑ was amended by omitting from the latter part of it the words referring to the class of boys, " whether apprentices or not," and " wi:h their own consent, or by survey ;" and thus amended the motion was agreed to. GALWAY FREEMEN DISFRANCBISEMENT BILL. On the order of the day being read for the second readinf of this hill, Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. T - ie measure, he said, was unjust, in that it punished the electors who had bee brined, but let the bribers escape. Mr. WALPOLE suggested that if the bill were allowed to pass the second reading, the just award of punishment for an admitted offence could be determined in committee. Some discussion ensued, in which Lird Livaine, Lord A. Vane, Lord J. Russea, and qr. Di=:raeli tlok part. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the • bill read a second time. The aouse adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Parliamentary Commi•sioners for Inquiring into the State of the Hospital and Barrack ACC-Jill mod,ttion in En viand and Wales—consisting of Mr. S. Holbert, M.P., Dr. Sutherland, Dr. Burrell, &c.—arrived at Chatham yesterday, for the pur pose of making an inspection of the barracks and military hospitals at that garrison. The commis sioners first inspected the large hospital at Fort Pitt, over which they were conducted by Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., the head of the establishinent, and in the course of their investigations inspected the numerous wards, kitchens, washing-houses, closets, &c., after which they proceeded to that part of the fort known as "The P►t," which is arched over, and fitted up for the accommodation of invalided troops undergoing medical treatment. The corn missibuers likewise inspected the large now lunatic asylum at Fort Pity, which is occupied by insane officers and soldiers, chiefly those returned from India. Atter leaving the Fort the commissioners proceeded to Chatham 'wracks, Brompton bar racks, St. Mary's barracks, and the huts ; they also went over the Garrison hospital, and the hospital which has ben formed of one side of Brompton barracks. Thy 18th depot from Chatham, consisting of four officers and 126 men, and the 27th depot, from the same garrison, comprising four officers and 150 men, will proceed from Chatham this morning to Portsmouth to embark on board the Bitt-rn steamer for Cork.

T(e mAnoeuvres were the ord.. nary bait tlion movements, ordered on similar occa sions, without firing. Tile Royal Horse Artil'ery assembled on Pluinstead-common and went throuh a variety of gun prictice. Numerous squads of ne /4y-enrolled recruits were likewise scaAered over the artillery fiel I, undergoing various stages of ac tive d ill. In fact, the garrison has throughout as sumed the ordinary routine of summer drill and , out-door practice. The binds of militwy music are ordered to perform in various localities at speci fied hours during the day, and from the uousutl number of recruits recen ly enlisted, who are con stantly mare sing an I countermarching, tog-ther with the ordinary garrison duties, the vicinity of the main qf an I its thoroughfares present a lively s:ene throughout tho city. Her Majesty's iron paddle steamer Oberon, hav ing undergone considerable rep tirs in ship and machinery at Woolwich, was yesterday unlocked, and was replaced in dock by the Admiralty yachi Blak Eagle. The new church in Woolwich dockyard has been roof.d in, and will be ready for Divine service about the commencement of June. A small space is about to be en losed, surr.iun ling the elifi.:e, which is to be laid out in an of nainental sr,yle of "cAtage garden," and protected by iron gates and rails.

All this is now happily changed. Without laying out money in doc tors' bills, without enduring the horrors of " doctors' stuff," but simpl:, by the adoption of a pleasant and palatable resto rative Food, disease is b nished. and health and activity take its place, It is on no mere theory that these things are asserted. When Fifty Thousand persons are referred to. each of w iom has -eparately described the wondrous healing effect of the prepatiation in an infinite variety of maladies, the theory resolves itself into ascertained and demonstrated fact —a fact neither to be hushed up, n r explained away on any other ground than chat of the unparalleled efficacy of lie Re , valeuta Arabica Food in extirpating almost every description of morbid action or condition from the system. The p are naturally "slow" in awakening to an appreciation of ane and heter state of things ; and mt.ch excuse there is for this slowness, so often has expectation been baulked by the preten sions of contending theorists. Here, howey, r, we have before us proof of the most positive and complete kind which can be con cei ved by human reason and coming from such a mult plicity of sources as show the testimonials received tit be each the genuine outpouring of joyful gratitude. An advertisement, which appears in our paper of t -day, contains a short résumé of a few of the letters of thatiks, which constitute altogether such a body of undeniable evidence as was never brought together ton any subject whatever, and form A noble 'ma nai monument in illustration of the maxim —" Honour to him to whom honour is due."
