1 0 looking over the returns to that House the name of the Parson was still to be found. But their Lordships would Oe surprised when he referred to a letter he had received upon this subject. The writer of it was the Hon. and Rev. Henry Browne, the Rector of Muflinger, and the in spector of the prison. With respect to the high character of th a t c l ergyman, he could venture to refer to the Noble Marquis himself, and even he must be bound to say of the Rev. Henry Browne, that never was there a better coun try clergyman nor a more respectable man.—(Hear, hear, from th e M arqu i s of Westmeath.) H i s answer was to this effect—" With reference to the governor of Mullingar pri son, durieg his knowledge in connection with that prison fe nine y ears , h e h ad never known one more a li ve to the of hi s s i tuat i on, or more efficient in the d i scharge of of. duties them. Upon his E xce ll ency ' s v i s it t o th e p r i s on, everythingdays been a rrange d w i t h t h e most m i nute care. A he a)s afterd was,.n he w as attac k e d b y fever, and upon the Saturday few the u sua l course o f t h e di sease , delirious.--( Hear.) Bttt upon 22d Aug. (the day his Excellency Vf visited prison), thson.e), OS competent not only to conduct the affairs of prison, but to assist him (the writer) in recommending and pointing out on that day the prisoners entitled to his Ex cellency's notice."—(Cheers.) Where, then, was the gaoler that was in a state of of transition from sanity to madness ? Their Lordships perceived that strait-waistcoat had to he put upon him the next day ; nor was it upon his recommen dation, but upon that of the Hon. and Reverend Henry Browne, that he had discharged a few prisoners confined for minor offences, and near the expiration of their sen tences.—(Hear.) Mr. Browne added, that he was happy to be able to state that he had it in his power to quiet the injured feelings of a highly meritoriou s and valuable officer. (Hear, hear.) Now, he must say that it was not fair, it was not becoming, it was not proper—and he had to add, he did not envy his feelings—when the Noble Marquis thus came forward, and, whatever might be the station of the person, wantonly preferred a charge against him—against a person, too, holding an office in the chief town of the county over which he presided ; and this, too, for the purpose of making an unfounded accusation against the head of the Govern ment under whom he held a commission. —(Cheers.) He told the Noble Lord that he did not envy him his feelings ; he told him more, that the more assertiou of the Noble Lord would henceforward not be sufficient for him ; and when the Noble Lord rose in his place, be would not say that. he did not believe him, but that it would not be enough for the Noble Lord, in his place in Parliament, to tell them what he had fancied to have heard, or what he believed he was told.—(Cheers.) He assured the Noble Lord lie should distrust his authority ; and even in any official re ports coming from the Noble Lord, he would require some further confirmation of them—something more than his assertion ; for the Noble Lord had proved himself to be too credulous in believing, and too careless in asserting.— (Loud cheers.) He had now to refer to the returns of the prisoners liberated. The Noble Lord had put into the re turn, skilfully enough, not only all the persons that had been discharged by him up on th e recommen d a ti o n of the inspe c t Or s, but also all the persons discharged upon the re commendation of the Judges, upon medical certificates and for other reasons. It was difficult in a return of 1,300 cases to catch at a particular name ; but luckily there was a ease in Galway of which he could from recollection ven ture to say this--that he saw Judge Burton with respect to that case, he saw the man when he was in Galway. The case was a very curious one, and with the particulars of it he should not trouble their Lordships. The verdict of the Jury was murder ; and although the Judge said, from considering all the circumstances, he was not inclined to set it aside, yet the case was one for the extension of mercy. Had the Noble Lord given him notice that he meant to make this a charge against the Irish Government, he should have been prepared to meet it. He had said that he wished to hear of any charges that could be made against him. To be sure he did ; but then he wished to be met fairly—(Cheers) —he wished it to be done not in a manner that would put it out of the power of the human intellect to apply itself to the subject.—(Hear, hear.) He had certainly a right to complain of the conduct pursued upon this occasion. No one could have possibly supposed that the Noble Mar quis, in moving for papers as to the appointment of two persons to the commission—no one but the Noble Marquis himself could have supposed that he was therefore entitled to go into every subject he could possibly think of, or that the Noble Marquis was entitled, therefore, to call on him to tax his recollection as to the cases of 1,300 persons— some liberated upon reference being made to the Assistant barristers, others upon the recommendation of the Judges, snore upon medical certificates —but to all of which he had given the most anxious care, and the most deliberate attention, as it was his duty to do in all cases. There was for instance, the case of Hickey. He supposed that had occurred after the Spring Assizes, and when the numbar of prisoners was large, and some of them convicted of very grave offences. He had an indistinct recollection that Hichey had been recommended by Mr. Sergeant Green for the exercise of mercy. This was his recollection, but he was not positive as to the fact. - He be lieved that Hickey was recommended on the ground of in minty. The Noble 'Marquis had gone through a great number of cases—of murders, of aggravated assaults, of persons improperly liberated. He repeated then, what he seated upon a former occasion, that none charged with grave offences, with serious offences —that no such persons had been liberated except upon medical certificates, and in great cases with reference to the authorities presiding at the trials. As to this matter, the discharging of prisoners, he believed that it was impossible for the power of language to have gone further for the purpose of misrepresentation than it had done with regard to that proceeding.—( Hear.) Much it ought to be remembered, depended upon the peculiar cir cumstances of the case, and they could only judge of the propriety of each by looking to the peculiar circumstances in each case. He had to say, filet of the whole of the pri soners discharged upon the recommendation of the Inspec tors—of all those there were but nineteen recommitted, and those were for t wo or three minor offences, such as throwing stones, Rec. With regard to the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Browne, he wished to make one remark. Even the Noble Marquis himself had assented to the cha racter that he had given of that Hon. and Rev. Gen tleman. He hoped that he might be permitted to take that opportunity of saying, not only was the lion. and Rev. Mr. Browne as deserving a man as an inspector of the gaol and a Protestant minister, but so also were all the Pro testant ministers who were inspectors of gaols. He never in his life saw a set of men conduct themselves in a more: exemplary manner, or with greater propriety of feeling,: than those gentlemen did in their arduous duties. It seemed to bins that, being the ministers of an establishment of which the actual professors were few, and being not con fined to the care of a flock, they seemed to take delight in labouring for the common fold of Christianity.—(Hear.) It would be impossible to find a set of men act better, and lie said this from his personal experience, while other Noble Lords, who did not attend to such matters as the visitation of prisons, made such mistakes about the gaols in their own counties, that they did not know who the persons there were, and described the persons who had to take care of them as being in a state of insanity at the very moment that they were in the useful discharge of their duties.—( Cheers.) He had not only received from Mr. Browne, but also from other gentlemen similarly situated, letters upon that point which had been so much complained of, and from them he Was in possession of papers in which they, as inspectors of prisons, bore testimony to the excellent effect produced by the discharge of prisoners under the limitations that he had placed it. Those gentlemen declared that they found it not only useful to themselves, as giving them a controul over the prisons that they had charge of, but also in effecting the tranquillity of the surrounding country.—( Hear, hear.) There were, it was to be remembered, peculiar circum stances connected with Ireland that rendered it possible that what was expedient to do there might not be appli cable_ t o t h e settled state of England.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis had stated as to some of the persons dis charged, that they had been convicted of the crime of per- Jnry- Now, in the whole of the oration of the Noble Mar quis there was only one point in whi c h h e concurre d w i t h vs him, and t h at of perj ury. L uaesk corded. I t his denunciati on o f th e h orr ibl e cr i me would Y his o pi n i on upon t hi s subject was re- Pennefath er . be fou n d i n &communication with Baron In . of th e m i nutes he had made he .bad declared th at he e necessity o f suppress i ng t h e cr i me of perjury ; h e had so th stated hi s op i n i on ; nor was there which any one in s t ance in a person conv i cte d of the crime of perjury had b een discha r ged , except under s p ec i a l circum stances, which di d not at affect the cr i me i tse lf. Th e Noble Marquis h a d read him td aes o s f on up h on the improp r i e ty of discharging persons convicted had discharged them without consuslutiena thata t e h r o im se e, b as if o he they had been tried. H e h ad shown he Jd w don m e exactly the reverse, and he had proved that he was any thing but indifferent to the commission of a crime which he agreed with the Noble Marquis in thinking struck at the well being of society in Ireland. The Noble Marquis had then stated that many had been discharged without giving bail. What was the object in requiring bail ? It was to Prevent the same person from recommitting the same a g fence, or from placing himself in the same situation. That to discharge without giving bail had not been capriciouSly exercised was shown by the fact that within the last two years, of all that had been discharged from prison, only 19 had been re-committed.—( Hear, hear.) Then the Noble Lord really could not expect him to go into all the details with regard to Mr. Keogh, the high-sheriff for Carlow. —( Hear.) resPeet The p r i nc i p l e upon w hi c h h e h a d acte d w ith to the appo i ntment of high sheriffs was t hi s— whenever he found on the list of the judges not three names theeson perfectly qualified and willing to serve, he filled up n ancy thus left. This was no new experiment—it did not originate with him. He could show many instances where it hail occurred since Sir Peel was in Ireland, anti wnerc it badbeen acted upon under different adunnis trations. Sir Robert Peel bad, amongst other practical improvements, introduced this—of the Sheriff [lauding to the Judges the names of those who might be his succes sors; and by the Judges they were presented to the Exe cutive. This was an improvement, but it was not the in variable-rule ; or, if intended to be so, it had been imme diately departed from. This rule, however, he regarded as an admirable one, and it was not departed from by him ex cept under special circumstances—that was, when the Ex ecutive was not left a fair choice, either from the names of the individuals returned being those of disqualified persons, or those of persons who, having acted before, could not be again called upon to serve.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to he excused for the length of time that he had occupied their Lordships ; but after the desultory, irregular, and compli cated charges that had been preferred, and without being ;dale to declare that he exactly comprehended all the state ments of the Noble Marquis, or the inferences meant to be drawn from them, he hoped he should be excused if, in his attempt to reply to. the Noble Marquis, he had omitted any circumstances that he ought to have referred to.—(Hear.) As to the appointment of Mr. Shell, which had been alluded to in the early part of the oration of the Noble Marquis, he wished to say that that appointment had been considered by the Lord Chancellor, that the whole of the correspondence had been before the Chan cellor, who had consulted with him verbally upon it, and he most fully assented to it, and he was ready now to take the whole responsibility of it upon him self. He agreed to the appointment of Mr. Sheil as a magistrate for Westmeath. He could not but say, that the Noble and Learned Lord had a right to complain that this charge was not preferred when he was present, when he could explain it. He was ready now to share in the re sponsibility of that Noble and Learned Lord, but he really, not having the papers, must admit that he had but a very distant recollection of the circumstances. He apologised sincerely for addressing them at this length ; but, perhapS, as that was the last oppoetunity that he should have of speaking during this Session, he wished to correct two mis- takes into which the Noble Earl (Lord Glengall) had fallen the last time he had addressed the House upon this subject. One of them was an incorrect statement which the Noble Earl had corrected at the time, but which had, however, gone forth to the public. The other he should now refer to. He had been endeavouring to impress upon their Lordships the success of the scheme of establishing local prosecutors, under the name of Crown Solicitors, at the sessions. He had shown what been its success in the county Tipperary in putting down faction fights, and he had had the letter of Mr. Hawley to show that such was the case. The Noble Earl to this said " No"—that such was not the fact, for that at the last fair at Silver Mines several lives had been lost. He had now from Mr. Howley and from the chief constable of the district a contradiction to that statement. The letter of Mr. How ley stated, " With reference to the late fair of Silver Mines, at which it was said there were public disturbances attended with loss of life, there was not only his own authority for declaring that the assertion was not borne out by the fact, but there was also the letter of Mr. Carroll, the chief con stable, who said he had attended at the last fair with a de tachment of the constabulary, where he remained until after seven o'clock, and that no riot had taken place ; that the constabulary patrolled during the night, and no report was received by him from the constable in charge of them of any riot or assault." This was what was stated with respect to the late fair ; but if the Noble Earl referred to the fair of the Ist of May, he had shown a little disingenuousness in referring to that, or it proved his disposition to take a very gloomy view of the subject. First, a contradiction was given to Mr. Howley's letter upon a point that had occur red after it had been written, and then a fair was not no ticed which had occurred but a short time ago, and at which no disturbance had happened. He understood that some disturbances bad been going on at the fair of the Ist of May ; that about thirty persons were engaged in them ; but no life was lost, nor any person dangerously injured.— (Hear.) As to the mistake which the Noble Earl had cor rected in his speech, it was this—the Noble Earl meant to have stated that there were 1,500 prisoners in the gaol of Cionmel in the course of a year, whereas he appeared to have stated that they were all there at the same time. As to 1,500 persons being in the gaol in the course of one year, the inference drawn from it would, he hoped, be comparative, and not positive. Much would depend upon the comparison. He wished to call particular atten tion to the circumstances of the case. Most of those per sens were in prison in the early part of the year 1836. It was then that the new sessions had come into operation, and that the prosecutions were made more effectual. But there was another circumstance to be considered connected with the state of Tipperary at that time, and which could not have escaped the Noble Earl's knowledge. The state of Tipperary was then represented to him to be so very disturbed that he was called upon to suspend the ordinary powers of the Constitution. He had in his answer to Lord Donoughmore declared his determination not to take that step ; but at the same time he expressed his confidence that he should be able to produce an alteration in the state of the county Tipperary by the vigorous application of the law in the ordinary tribunals.—(Loud cheers.) The Noble Earl might be assured, whatever political differences existed between them, that of the intima c y, he might sa y f r i en d s hi p, that had been between them he had a strong recollection ; and he should not complain if in the course of that Noble Earl's duty, amongst the other attacks th a t were t h oug h t proper .to be made upon his Government, in a manner that was somewhat pointed— he certainly should not complain, when the Noble Earl was put in possession of that declaration, that he had not ever alluded to it. But since that declaration had been made, he appealed, if it were necessary, to the candour of the Noble Earl, how much must the state of Tipperary have been changed since that time ?—(Hear.) But it was not necessary to appeal to the sense of candour of the Noble Earl ; because the Noble Earl must in consistency admit that if the state of Tipperary had not improved—if an effectual stop had not been put to the outrages by a due administration of the law, by an appeal to the popular con fidence in its administration, and by the organisation of the middle classes of the country in support of the law—if the country had not been improved by these means, then where did the blame rest? Not upon those who had tried . the experiment, but upon those who, seeing that they had been tried, and having failed, did not join with the Noble Earl in again calling for the suspension of the Constitu tion.; but he must say of them, that sirce he had so re plied to them they had never sent to him such a requisi tion.—(Cheers.) He had then put it to them, and he had stated distinctly, that he never would consent to suspend the Constitution except in a case of necessity.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Perhaps he had said too much in the course of the debate of the duty of a Peer rising in his place in Parliament, and making statements which could not be borne out by the fact ; but what he n o w was about to say, upon his own responsibility, as to the state of Ireland, he would not assert if he did not tho roughly believe it himself, and if ho did not know that the public documents could prove it ; but he did state in the presence of Noble Lords that, however wretched, however miserable might be the condition of the unfortunate people of the country, still he with the utmost confidence declared that Ireland never was in a state of greater tranquillity than it was at this moment.—(Loud cheers.) e lle stated this without the fear of contradiction, for there were the documents to refer to. He had seen the police returns for the month of June ; he had not them by him, because he had meant to confine his attention to that alone which the Noble Marquis had put upon the papers of their Lordships' House ; but this he could say, from the returns in the Office of the Police, that the offences committed in the month of June were one-sixth what they were in the month of May—( ileac, hear)—and making a certain allowance for the common assaults, which were not now reported, he was sure that he was stating within the mark when he declared, that, comparing the returns, the offences for the month of June this year were half what they were in Juno last year.—(Loud cheers.) In addition to the other evidence of the improved state of the country, he begged to inform their Lordships that in the last presentation of the Grand Jury of the county of Louth it was stated that the police force was unnecessarily strong —that the number might be diminished. The Noble Mar quis had talked of the meeting of the Protestant Associa tion at the Mansion-house. He thought he should have heard no more of that meeting. It certainly had had the effect of calling forth one of the strongest demonstrations of confidence in the Government that perhaps any Govern ment could boast—a demonstration which was subscribed to by such an array of individuals of high station and cha racter, as he believed never appeared in support of any Go vernment before. The Noble Marquis talked of the Go vernment being detested by the peaceable portion of the community, but he thought he had shown that the Noble Marquis reasoned in so perverted a manner that it was im possible to believe that be attached a proper meaning to what he uttered. The Noble Marquis included in his de nunciation the resident population ..of Ireland, the landed proprietors, the Peers, the resident gentry, and the Parlia mentary representatives. It was not to be wondered at that the Noble Marquis declaimed against the last-named indi viduals warmest, as he had told them that he wished Ire land to have no representative in Parliament. Let that go forth, and let the denunciation of himself accompany it. —(Hear.) He could tell the Noble Marquis that he had no fear as to the result of this discussion. He had called their Lordships' attention to what he considered a fair prospect that affairs were coming to a settlement in Ireland. He believed that the habits of the poorer classes were settling—he did not say they were settled—such a state of things in a country like Ireland was not to be brought about in a day', but th ere was a . cousidefable im provement. No doubt tranquillity was about to be esta blished. Long might that tranon;ilitv continue. and as a necessary consequence the resources of that fine country would be gradually developed in the way in which all who were well-wishers to the country must desire to see them. Amongst those well-wishers there were none more devoted than himself.—(Cheers.) The Earl of RODEN charged the government of the Noble Earl with the grossest partiality in favour of a par ticular party, in proof of which he begged to call the at tention of their Lordships to Col. Blacker's case, The Noble Earl (Radnor) might smile, but he hoped he would not interrupt him in the course of his observations. The Earl of RADNOR said he must be allowed to in terrupt the Noble Earl by rising to order. He regr e tt e d that the Noble Marquis had introduced this discussion by referring to matters in his speech which were not given notice of in the return for which he bad moved. The no tice of motion was for particular papers, and the cense. (pence was that he had irregularly entered into matters to which that notice did not apply. He conceived their Lord ships would be of opinion that the Noble Earl had no right to enter now into fresh matter. The attention of his Noble Friend had had not been called by the notice which had been given to the intention of the Noble Earl to go into the case of Colonel Blacker.—(Hear.) The Earl of RODEN was at all times ready to receive the admonitions of the Noble Earl, but he begged to say that he was strictly in order, inasmuch as he intended to re fer only the case now before their Lordships. What he was about to show was what had been the conduct of the Government in the case of Colonel Blacker as compared with its conduct in that of Sir R. Nagle. Colonel Blacker was dismissed from the Magistracy because he attended Orange rlieeting—a m ee ti ng w hi c h h a d f or i ts object the vindication of the laws of the country and the main teaance of the prerogatives of the Crown.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The circumstances, however, havinglbeen inquired into, it was proved that, so far from having attended that meeting with any view to countenance it or show his approval of it, he did everything in his power to induce the persona assembled to disperse ; and the grand charge against Colonel Blacker was ultimately reduced, to this, that Mr. Blacker was present, and carried on that occa sion an orange lily in his hand. AR application was con sequently made to the Government for Colonel Blacker to be reinstated ; but up to this hour he had not been. Sr R. Nagle had experienced very different treatment—he had been reinstated. What he contended, then, was that there had been great partiality on the part of the Govern ment. As to the statements of the Noble Marquis, which had been questioned by the Noble Earl, they were founded it appeared on Parliamentary returns, and he had no doubt of their accuracy. With regard to the tranquillity of the country, 290 proclamations appeared in the Ga zelle of' last year, and out of them there were seventy-one which arose out of murder. From the 7th of February to the 10th of this month, it appeared that eleven murders had been perpetrated in Ireland. Could it be pretended that the country was at all tranquil, when it was known to be a fact that the life assurance offices in this come try refused to assure the lives of Irish clergymen ? Such was the awfully melancholy state in which Ireland was. They might perhaps boast of the tranquillity of Ire land, but what was its nature ? It was easy to talk of tranquillity when they abstained from putting the laws in force, when they failed to collect the tithes, and when the clergymen were starving. The Noble Earl might fancy all was tranquil enough while he was seated in Dublin Castle, with every comfort and luxury around him ; but let him risit the houses of the starving clergy, and then he would not come to this House with his " cock-and-a-bull" story of tranquillity.—(Much laughter.) He was sorry to see the Noble Lords opposite make this a subject of merriment. The Noble Lord then referred to some proclamations in which certain offences .were stated to have been committed by persons who were Members of the Orange Association. He begged to ‘ ask the Noble Earl in what instances he had described in proclamations any persons who had committed offences as having belonged to the National Association ? He challenged the Noble Earl to quote a single case of the kind. He could not produce one. Here, then, again he charged the Government with having acted with gras s par tiality. He b e gg e d t o ca ll t h e i r L or d s hi p ' s attent i on to the description of l anguage use d by th e I r i s h ag it a t ors . The leader of that body, at a dinner at Carlow said, " I am the last man to recommend the shedding of a drop of blood ; but we have tried every means to get our rights—to obtainjus tice for Ireland—and we have failed. We have no means leg untried but the shedding of blood. Blood, then, must be shed. My reason for saying so is to prevent the shedding of blood ; for, if your enemies get into power they will shed your blood." He was told that officers of the present Go vernm,uit were present at this dinner, and he was anxious to know from the Noble Earl whether he had ever received from Mr. Vignoles, the chief Constable, who was one of the Government officers in attendance, a statement or ally such language having been used ? He was, indeed, the more anxious on this subject., because the individual to whom such language was imputed was entertained by the Noble Earl as a guest at her Majesty's castle in Dublin. He considered it a great dereliction of public duty for a person who made use of such language to be received at the table, not of the Earl of Mulgrave, but of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Such an act was very likely to prove prejudicial to the peace of the country. The great majority of the resident gentry in Ireland agreed wil h him in siring that the Gov e r nmen t was con d ucted in an exceedingly partial manner. As the measure of 18 0 9 was passed—that measure which he believed would prove ultemately the destruction of the countre—he did not, object to Roman Catholics being put into Oiie under the Government when the Noble Earl thouehti r e o s per to place them there ; but he did object to Cath 6 o . lic 12 cgr:- - tators being appointed to those offices which should ' b ‘ . filled by men of peace. He desired nothing but the benefitt of the Roman Catholic people ; but as to their reli' that was another thing, and he had sworn in that Hou se that he detested and abhorred it. He hoped that the Noble Earl would turn over a new leaf, and consider what was due to the Protestant gentry of the coun t r y. All they asked was fair play. All they requited of the Noble Earl was tkat he should show them that his object was to carry on his Government with fairness and impartiality. The Earl of GLENG ALL said the real fact of the case as to the boasted increase of tranquillity in Ireland would best appear from a statement he held in his hand of the dif ference in the number of cornmittale to the county gaol of Tipperary in the years 1835 and 18313. This saute, I - lent was to the following effect Comniittals. 1835. 1 836. Affray 762 ... 1,23 3 Assault Rescue Grievous assault or bodily harm 338 ... 8 59 Forcible posveslion lO7 ... 2 62 Larceny Offea — ces. Grand total 3,326 5409 The convictions for these crimes were, in 1835, 407 ; in 1836, 842. It thus appeared that in one county alone the number of committals in 1836 was almost double the num ber of committals in 1835.—(Hear, hear.) He would beg to ask, too, bow it was that if tranquillity had increased, net fewer than twenty-three new stipendiary Magistrates had been appointed in Ireland since the passing of the Constabulary Act ? Either this augmentation of Magis trates, at a yearly expense of 12,0001., was necessary ; and then what became of the boasted tranquillity ? or it was unnecessary, and then what was the affair but a job ? • The Noble Earl concluded by observing that he had enter tained a warm fi:iendship for the Noble Earl opposite ; but he had deemed it due to himself to absent himself from the Castle when he found that the presence there was courted of the man who had uttered that most horrible and dread ful, that most ferocious speech delivered at the Carlow din ner, in vituperation of the departed and deservedly-be loved Mr. Kavanagh.—(Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM was not aware whether the Noble E irl near him proposed to make any further reply to the fresh volume of attack just poured out against him ; but whether or no, he (Lord Brougham) must first beg to say a few words in reference to the perfectly unparalleled pro ceedings of that evening.—(Hear, hear.) He bad often before in that House had occasion to remark, that of all the places of discussion or debate he was ever present - at, he had never seen one more irregular in its proceedings than their Lordships ; but he really thought that on the present occasion their Lordships bad exceeded all their forther out doings, and had performed the extraordinary feat of sur passing themselves.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) In the first place, there was the Noble Marquis's notice on the order-book of " moving for copies of certain correspondence between him and the Lord-Lieutenant's secretary as to two magistrates in Ireland." Upon the strength of this notice, the Noble Marquis had risen in his place and made a tremendously long speech, comprehending attacks on the Lord-Lieutenant, on every passage of his two and a half years' government of Ireland—the affair of the two Magistrates among the rest—and introducing, in the completest way, all the attacks, all the abuse, all the slander, all the calumny which had been showered upon the Noble Lord from the time he accepted his Government in May, 1835, down to the present time. — (Hear, hear.) No doubt the Noble Marquis's own belief in the truth of these oft-repeated slanders was entire:; but this was not the case with those who had furnished the Noble Marquis with his materials for the speech of that evening. How often again was it to be shown beyond dis pute that, in reference to one of the gravest of these charges, the release of a man condemned to death on the day named for his execution—how often was it to be proved.that this man's release was on the strong recommendation of the judge who had tried the case, and who had reason to be lieve the grounds on which the conviction took place to be altogether incorrect ? Yet this was but a specimen of the attacks mall on the Noble Earl —of the charges which ‘vere made only, as it would alm os t seem , to h e repea t e d. Yet, after the * Noble Marquis's long and detailed crimination of the Noble Earl, what did his speech end in ? In the pro position of a vote of censure—of a call for the Noble Earl's dismissal ? No ; but in the motion for a return of the corre spondence between the Lord Lieutenant's secretary and the Noble Marquis as to these two magistrates. After the Noble Marquis's attack came the Noble Earl's defence, which one would have imagined perfectly satisfactory and conclusive. Bat no—the Noble Earl resuming his scat, up started the Noble Earl opposite, with a demand that the Noble Earl should proceed to answer his long speech of March last ; and as the Lord-Lieutenant might natu rally be supposed not to recollect tha speech in question, the Noble Earl produces his notes of it, and proceeded to go over it again. The Earl of RODEN said he had produced no notes. Lord BROUGHAM went on to say that he begged the Noble Earl's pardon for the poor compliment he had paid his memory on the subject, but he bad taken the small Fis ricrillls referred to so often by the Noble Earl in the course • of his speech as containing the notes of the speech alluded to. However, the Noble Earl, whether with or without notes, went over the heads of his speech of March last, and insisted upon a reply thereto from the Noble Lord- Lieutenant, although the Noble Earl's speech had been already fully answered by anticipation in the Lord-Lieu tenant's speech which preceded it.—(llear.) That Noble Earl had shown by the clearest facts how great was the traquillity of Ireland at the present moment ; but the No ble Earl opposite was not contented with this. He would • have a full explanation of the state of things in February last ; and then came another Noble Earl on the opposite side, who improved upon the point by removing the inquiry hack to 1835. But what was the point necessary to be ettablished? Why, that which had been already that even ing so incontrovertibly shown by the Noble Earl in the fact that in June this year the amount of offences in Ire land was less by one-half than in June last year. But, then, said another Noble Lord opposite, Ah! but here are twenty-three new stipendiary Magistrates : if these are wanted, where is your tranquillity ? If they are not wanted, how shameful a job !" The Noble Lord appeared to imagine that means were unnecessary to an end.—( Hear, hear.) The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, however, thought differently. He had conceived that with a judicious system of lenity, with an appeal to the good feelings, to the hearts of the people, with a wish to make his Government popular, it was necessary to exhibit a firm determination to see the laws executed, and to provide sufficient means for fulfilling that object in the completest way. This object could not be completed without the proclamations, or without the aug mented magistracy, both of which had been made matters of complaint by Noble Lords opposite. The Noble Earl talked of the proclamation issued on the day previous to the Orange festival, as though it were a partial and arbitrary exercise of tyranny, affecting, and intending to affect, only that part of the people who were Orangemen ; whereas it was nothing but a general statement of the law as it affected the whole population of the country in all days of the year. Then, again, the charge against the Lord Lieutenant as to Sir R. Nagle seemed, after all, to resolve itself into this— that having restored this gentleman to the Magistracy, the Lord Lieutenant had not also restored Col. Blacker, a gentleman on the other side of the question, who had been dismissed the Magistracy ; but what analogy had been shown between the cases ? The circumstances might, for all that appeared, be totally different ; yet it-was set forth that simply because Sir It. Nagle had been reinstated, so should be Colonel Blacker, or else no end to the attacks on the Lord Lieutenant,—(Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by observing, that as there were on the order book several notices of motions, the discussions on which might be expected to have some connection with the terms of the notice, and quite enough to occupy the re mainder of the Session, he should beg to submit to the House that the explanations given that evening had been quite enough to elucidate satisfactorily the points brought directly and incidentally under their notice. He trusted that this evening might close the irregularities of the session. Tim Earl of MULGRAVE, after expressing his thanks to the Noble and Learned Lord for time masterly manner in which he had treated the subject, proceeded to observe that it was somewhat inconsistent in the Noble Earl oppo site who inveighed against the number of proclamations is sued by the executive Government of Ireland, to charge him in the same breath with not vindicating the laws. It was precisely by the issuing of proclamations that he did vindicate the laws.---(Hear, hear.) With regard to the question asked him by Noble Lords as to the speech said to have been delivered by Mr. O'Connell at Carlow, he would only reply that he had directed inquiries to be made into the subject, and he had ascertained that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman denied that he had used the expres sions imputed to him ; and several persons present at the electing, denied that any such language as was reported lied been uttered there. He thought that one of the best reasons for disbelieving that such language had been used by Mr. O'Connell as had been used by the Noble Earl was, that it was such arrant. nonsense. As to the number of commitments and convictions, he would only say that the number was certainly greater in 183 G than 183.5. Aey returns, however, calculated to give information as to the state of crime in Ireland, he should be happy to lay on the table. With respect to the stipendiary Magistrates, he was perfectly prepared to justify all the appointments that ban taken place in Ireland. As to what the Noble Earl had said with respect to the deserted state of the levees at Dublin Castle, he (Lord Mulgrave) would only say that he should be happy to see the Noble Lord at his levees, but he felt hound to observe that he did not perceive that want of society at them which had been so strongly de scribed by the Noble Earl. At the same time he felt bound to say that he would not purchase the presence of any persons at his levees by excluding other gentlemen. Ile was perfectly ready to admit that Mr. O'Connell had dined with him on three occasions. That gentleman, as well as other Irish Members of Parliament, attended his levees, and it wee customery on such occasions to invite th. mto dine at the Castle. It so happened, however, that he had seen less of Mr.O'Connell than other Members of the House of Commons. With respect to the proclama tion referring to houses which had been pillaged, and which were described as belonging to Raman Catholics, he ad mitted that it was an imprope.; and invidious distinction to draw, but it arose from an inadvertence. It arose, however, out of a proceeding that took place while the Noble Earl (Haddington) opposite was Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. It appeared that the inspector of police, Sir F. Stovin, was ordered to make a return of offenders, disthiguiehing between Catholics and Protestants. The tames out of this police return were afterwards inadver tently copied into the proclamation. He would take care that such a proceeding should never occur again. Th e Earl of 11 ADDINGTON was sure that. the Noble Earl would not be surprised if he, at the spur of the moment did not, did not recollect the circumstance just referred to by the Noble Earl ; but he could assure the House that he never, with his knowledge, would have sanctioned the making such a distinction between different classes of the people of Ireland as had been referred to by the Noble Earl, by describing crimes of a particular class as being committed by C a th o li cs or P rotestants i n particular. He thought that such a practice would be attended with the very worst consequences in Ireland. The Earl of MULGRAVE did not intend to make any attack on the Noble Earl, as he was aware that the dis tinction was made by inadvertently copying the descrip tion drawn in the police report into the proclamation. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that it was desirable_ that the debates in that - House should be con fined as much as possible:to the subject matter appointed ts f rftt ,ola r i:e.::ta d a:m i .ti. s tana c euetig u esldi s emi, i s nai ineeot attending arise. tei gentleman tatw f i in o laid: r nt:f ani ) attendin gii y idliottait n tldbi o :rile t eieebaelsnel:pplieoebieleretet goao,d‘ta, made the remindingi nft althoughrh motion,i principle appearedc o ii fu • reinstatedot timlheairtthe is oonttruilici;eesgelicnisilaltpi s t(sY)eoi the tranquillity of Ireland. II e believed at the same time that such statements were founded on reports from the Lor d - Lieutenants, and yet it appeared from the decla ration made that night by the Noble Earl that the state of crime in the early part of 1839 was nearly double what it had been at the same period of 1835, and rime particularly so in the county of Tipperary.— ( Hear.) The language at the commencement of 1837 was nearly the same as to the state of tranquillity, and ex pressions to this effect were inserted in his Majesty's speech front the House. When t 1 is subject was under discussion three or four months ago, he said, in reference to the state of crim e , that he thought the statement in the King's speech w l as erroneou s . Si nce t h en h e h ad turned his attent i on to the subject, and was by no means satisfied as to the returns. He on the former occasion read an extract from a charge delivered by Baron Foster to the Grand Jury of Tipperary, at the Spring Assizes of 1837, in which he stated that 930 were confined in the gaol on different charges. It appeared to him that Ireland could not be in a state of great tran quillity, unless there had been a great change in the period betwee n the Spring Assizes in April and the end of June. He hoped, however, that it would turn out that the Noble Earl was right, and that he was wrong, in the view he had taken of the matter. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would not follow the exampl e of Noble Lords opposite, and thereby expose him-1 self to the just censure of his Noble and Learned Friend, by bringing in extraneous matters. The Noble Duke re ferred to a speech from the Throne, in which allusion seas male to the tranquil state of Ireland. This speech the Noble Lord should recollect was founded on documents which were prepared months before the statements referred - to by his Noble Friend, and the then state of the country completely bore out the declaration in his Majesty's speech. I The Noble Duke had again alluded to the number of per sons, acceeding to the statement of Baron' Foster, in the county gaol of Tipperary at time period of the Spring As sizes of the present year ; but the Noble Duke should have recollected the answer made to him on the former occa- DALKEITH CORN MARKET. wheat.

Mr. Spencer visited Cir cassia in company with Count \Voronzow, the Governor of Southern Russia. His work is on the eve of publication, and its appearance at this interesting juncture in the position of the two belligerent powers, cannot fail to throw light upon a ques tion which interests the - literary and scientific not less than the, political world." —Foreign Quarterly Review.—[we under stand that Mr. Spencer's work is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street.] FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

With reference to the present state of Ireland, all the Judges agreed as to the state of tranquillity and the steady and con tinued improvement of the country. The state of improve ment had not been produced or promoted by exaggerated statements in wandering and desultory debates in that House, such as they had heard that night, but had resulted from the improved government of the country, and this im provement was manifest to every one from the simple cir cumstance of the increased value of property in Ireland.— (Hear, hear.) This, he was convinced, was one of the best indications they could possibly have of the improvement in the state of the country, which had resulted from the admi rable and steady administration of the Government, and of justice in Ireland, by his Noble Friend near him.—( Hear, hear.) When Noble Lords opposite referred to particular cases, he begged them to compare the average returns of crime for the last five years, when there was no suspension of the regular state of the law, with the average of the pre vious five years, when measures of extraordinary severity were constantly resorted to. He hoped by pursuing the same course of good Government that he had hitherto done —and he was sure that from nothing that he had heard brought forward would his Noble Friend be deterred from pursuing that course—that his Noble Friend would have the satisfaction of finding the tranquillity and happiness of Ireland as great as that of the part of the empire where they then were. The Marquis of WESTMEATH, in reply, complained that his observations with respect to the state of the repre sentation, as well as other matters, had been represented by the Noble Earl. The Earl of MULGRAVE said the former observa tions of the Noble Marquis had so far led him aside from the real question that he had omitted to say that he had no objection to the production of the papers moved for. The papers were then ordered. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, the Lon don and Brighton, and the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway Bills, were read a third time and passed. ' ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS SUS- PENSION BILL. On the motion that this Bill do pass, The Bishop of GLOUCESTER moved a clause for the purpose of allowing Bishops and Archdeacons to per form the ordinary functions of visitation notwithstanding the suspensory enactments of the Bill. The clause was agreed to, and the Bill passed. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS AMENDMENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the Com mons amendments in this Bill be agreed to. Lord WYNFORD opposed the motion. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, The motion was negatived without a division, and a Committee appointed to communicate to the Commons the reasons of their Lordships' dissent from their amendments. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR the Central Criminal Courts Bill was read a second time, pro forma, with the understanding that the discussion upon it should be in Committee. The other bills upon the table were then forwarded a stage' and,,their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULYMEETING.—YESTERDA r.

WANDERINGS IN GREECE. BY GEORGE COCH RANE, ESQ.—We have had many books on Greece since she entered into the circle of European civilization, but not one whose writer has enjoyed so many and such various an lengthened opportunities of judging of her true condition an prospects, and setting these forth for the information an d judgment of the world, as the gentleman whose work we now notice ; and we arc bound to say that he has not let slip the occasion thus offered to him of adding to our current literat ure a most agreeable and instructive production. His volumes ar e not merely embellished, but illustrated (in the best sense'of the word) by many very pleasing plates, and by several maps and plans, which greatly enhance the utility and interest of the work.—Naval and Military Gazette.
