BENEFICES IN IRELAND. The Bishop of ARMAGH moved for a return of the number of benefices having provision for the cure of souls in Ireland, with the population of the Established Church therein, according to the census taken in 1861; the word " benefice" to be understood to mean "the parochial benefice or territorial extent com prised within each particular cure of souls," in accordance with the definition given by the Commissioners of Public Instruction in page 3 of the then report in 1834 ; also the number of benefices in which there is no member of the Established Church, and the number in which there was one and not more than 20. The right reverend prelate contended that these returns were desirable. Lord DITFFERIN considered that the production of the return would be attended with difficulty, particularly as regarded the population. DRAINAGE LAND IMPROVEMENT BILL.

JUDGES IN IRELAND. Mr. BRYAN gave notice that. on Friday, the 11th of May, he should call the attention of the house to the age of the judges in Ireland. THE CHOLERA AT CORK. Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government had taken, or ordered to be taken, any steps to establish a really practical and effective system of quarantine in Cork harbour, as a precaution against the intro duction of cholera in emigrant or other vessels entering that port. Whether it was intended to send to Cork har bour an old man-of-war or hulk to be used, in case of ne cessity, as a floating hospital for the reception of patients, emigrants, or others afflicted with that disease. And whether it was not the opinion of the Government that whatever was to bo done, as a means of precaution, should be done immediately, and without a day's delay? Sir G. GREY said he quite agreed that whatever was done in respect to protective measures against cholera should be done without delay. In 1865 active bteps were taken on the occasion of the cholera appearing at Alexan dria. He did not know what steps had been taken at at Cork or other places at the present moment, but he knew that at Liverpool there was an hospital for the re ception of cholera patients. There was a doubt whether ships were the best hospitals that could be adopted under the circumstances. He knew a ship named the Inconstant had been' stationed at Cork for about six years at a cost of over £3OO a year, and during the whole of that time it was only used one day. In the event of its becoming important that an hospital should be opened at Cork, there was a vessel which could be adapted to that purpose. The municipal authorities therefore ought, if they thought the circumstances demanded it, to put themselves in commu nication with the Admiralty. With respect to the ques tion of quarantine, the Privy Council were considering the terms of an order to give additional powers to the municipal authorities to deal with the matter. THE OYSTER FISHERIES. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord J. BRO WNE called the attention of the house to the present state of the public oyster fisheries of Ireland, and to a trial at the last Spring Assizes in the county of Sligo, where the validity of the title of an oyster licence, granted by the Fishery Commissioners of Ireland, was for the first time called into question, asked the Attorney- General for Ireland whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to carry out the " recom mendations" of the Royal Commissioners on Sea Coast Fisheries, by granting titles which should be " final and conclusive ?" IRISH PRISONERS. Mr. BLAKE called attention to the returns presented relative to the treatment of prisoners confined in the gaol of Waterford under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, and the correspondence on the subject; and moved that was the opinion of this house that it would be desirable that Government should take measures to prevent untried prisoners from being subjected to illegal and unnecessary restrictions, similar to those which ap pear to have been imposed on the political prisoners at- Waterford, from Feb. 21 to March 16. THE NATIONAL DEBT. In reply to Sir F. KELLY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the principle contained in the resolution for the conversion of the national debt was not challenged it would not be necessary to postpone it for any length of time. Ho there fore proposed to take the resolutions on Monday, to report them on Tuesday, and then to fix a night for any general discussion. The resolutions being allowed to pass with out discussion would not be taken to imply general assent. It would be for the convenience of the house that the dis cussion should be taken on the bill founded on the resolu tions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland, in reply to Lord J. Browne, admitted that advise e i law was unsatisfactory, a and expressed his readiness t o Government to bring in a bill to make these licences final. 13e gave ex planations as to treatment of the Feni an P taken which prisoners, admit ting that at first precautions might have been wer e unnecessarily strict, and assuring the househat for the futnre they would be treated with all the leniency compatible with their safe custody. Mr. lAGUIBE expressed an opinion that unneeessary and indiscriminate ar rests had given a great stimulus to emigration. Mr. C. FORTESCUE explained that no arrest had been made without the most careful previous inquiry, and every application for release had been carefully considered. The arrests had produced a very beneficial effect, but he as sured the Irish peasantry that if they kept clear of this un happy conspiracy, or, having got involved in it, would ab andon it and return to the pursu its of honest industry, they were perfectly safe from the exo rcise of these extra ordinary powers. Sir L. PALE called the attention of the Government to the recent , and shipwrecks and loss of life and prope rt y in Tor baybourhood to al e petition of the inhabitants of the neigh there. ' praying for th e erec ti on o f a harbour of refuge Mr. MILNER GIBBON one of those recommended— pointed out that the site was into the wholo subject some the committee who inquired that works protecting the eanyears ago. While admitting of great service, he maintained that at Torbay would be that they o ug ht t o be con structed out of localfunds, and atnd d eclined to hold out any hope of an imperial grant for P t u ll ria no e t:ice of the house Mr. GOLD:.•iEY brought under the necessity for a measure to extendeacahnd settle the boun enne;l:les A and 13 of &tries of the boroughs mentioned in variouscomme.nded by the, Municipal Reform Bill, as had b the Commission of 1837. After gi v i ng of the anomalies of the present state of things,instances ted that power should ho given to the Q he sug gested neon in CO eil to tato the necessary steps on application and after due inquiry- Sir G. GREY admitted the necessity and the ad van tages of an arrang ement such as that suggested by xi; Goldney, and expresse d a hope that a bill would be shortly. introduced. After some remarks from Mr. BAXTER on the large sums spent out of the poor rates in Scotland on litigation, to which the Lord Advocate replied, Mr. D. GRIFFITH (who was i n terrup::,ed by a vain his attempt to count out the house) expressed views on the present critical state of affairs on the Continent. Mr. WHITE, in speaking on the same subject, traced th presnt risk of war back to Lord Russell's refusil to go o into a Congress on the invitation of the Emperor Napoleon. The house was counted out at five minutes past eight while Mr. Watkin was bringing under its notice the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SALISBURY RACES—FRIDAY.

The following is the text of President Johnson's speech to the procession of soldiers anal sailors It is not affectation in me to say that language is inade quate to convey the heartfelt feelings produced on this occasion by your presence here, and by the presentation of your sentiments as expressed by your representative in his address, and in the resolutions which you have thought proper to adopt. I confess that in the peculiar position of public affairs, your presence and address give encourage ment and confidence to my efforts to discharge the duties incumbent upon me as chief magistrate of the republic, and in what I have to say I shall address you in the character of citizens, sailors, and soldiers. I shall speak to you on those terms and on none other. I repeat my thanks for the manifestation of your encouragement. (Applause.) We are to-day involved in one of the most critical and trying struggles that has occurred since this Government came into existence. Nations, like individuals, must have a beginning, must have a birth. Struggling into exist ence, a nation passes through its first trying ordeal. It is not necessary for me now to carry your minds back to the struggle when this nation was born. It is not necessary for me to allude to the privations and hardships of those who were engaged in that struggle to achieve the national birth. It is not necessary to point to the blood shed and the lives lost in accomplishing that result. The next ordeal through which a nation has to pass is when it is called upon to give evidence that it has strength ; capacity, and power to maintain itself among the nations of the earth. In giving such evidence, we passed through the war of 1812, and through the war of Mexico, and we passed through all the struggles that have since occurred up to the beginning of the rebellion. This was our second ordeal. But a nation has another test still to undergo, and that is to give evidence to the nations of the earth, and to its own citizens, that it has power to resist internal force, that it has strength enough to put down treachery at home, and treason within its own borders. (Cheers.) We have commenced that ordeal, and I trust in God we will pass through it success fully. (Cheers.) I feel complimented by the allusion of your representative to the fact that I stood in the Senate in 1860 and 1861, when the nation was entering on the third ordeal, and raised my voice and hand against trea son, treachery, and traitors at home. (Cheers and cries of "Good.") I stand hero to-day, holding to and maintain ing the same principles which I then enunciated. (Cheers.) I stand here to-day opposing traitors and treason, whether they be in the South or in the North. (Loud cheers.) I stand here to-day as I then stood, using all my powers mental and physical to preserve this nation in passing through the third phase of its existence. The organised forces and combined powers that recently stood arrayed against us are disbanded and driven from the field. But it does not follow that there are still no enemies against our present form of government and our free institutions. (Applause.) I then stood in the Senate of the United States denying the doctrine of separation and secession. I denied then, as I deny now, that any State has the right of its own will to separate itself from the other States, and thereby to destroy the Union and break up the Government. And I think I have given some evidence that I have been sincere and in earnest. And now I want to know why it is that the whole pack of slanderers and calumniators and traducers have been barking and snapping at my heels ? (Cheers.) Why is it that they array themselves against me ? Is it because I stand on the side of the people ? And when I say " the people," I include the sol diers and sailors. (Cheers.) Why is it that they are arrayed in traducing, and villifying, and calumniating me? Where were they during the rebellion ? (A voice—" At home, in bed." (Laughter.) In the Senate I raised my voice- against it ; and when it was believed that it would be to the interest of the nation, and would assist in putting down the rebellion, did I not leave my place in the Senate —a place of emolument, ease, and distinction—and take my position where the enemy could be reached, and where men'slives were in danger? (Cheers, and cries of "That's so.") While I was thus exposed, personally and publicly, and in every way, some of my present traducers and calumniators were far removed from the foe, and were en joying ease and comfort. (Cheers and laughter.) But I care not for them. I care not that slander, the foul whelp of sin, has been turned loose against me. I care not for all that; and let me tell youhero to-day, that, althoughpretty well advanced in life, I feel that I shall live long enough to live down the whole pack of traducers and slanderers. (Applause.) They have turned the whole pack loose to lower me in your estimation. (Voices : They cannot do it.) Blanche, Tray, and Sweetheart, little dogs and all, come along snapping and snarling at my heels. But I heed them not. (Cheers.) The American people—citizens, soldiers, and sailors, know that from my advent into public life to the present moment, I have always stood unyield ingly and unwaveringly the advocate and defender of their rights and interests. (Cheers.) We are in the nation's third ordeal; we are not yet through it. We said that the States could not go out of the Union ; we denied the doctrine of secession, and we have demon strated that we were right. We demonstrated it by the strong arm; yes, the soldiers and sailors—God bless them ! —have demonstrated by their patriotic hearts and strong arms, that States have not the power to leave the Union. (Applause.) What followed ? The Confederate armies were overpowered and disbanded, and there was a willing ness on the part of the people of those States to come back, be obedient to the laws, and acknowledge the supre macy of the Constitution of our fathers. For what have we passed through this third ordeal ? It was to esta blish the principle that no State had the power to break up the Government ; it was to put down the rebellion. The rebellion has been put down, and for what ? Was it to destroy the States ? (Voices, "Never !") For what have all these lives been sacrificed, and all this treasure expended ? Was it for the purpose of destroying States ? No, it was for the purpose of preserving the States in the Union of our fathers. (Cheers.) It was for that you fought—it was for that I tried not to break up the Go vernment, but to put down the rebellion and preserve the Union of the States. That is what we have been con tending for, and to establish the fact that the nation can lift itself above and beyond intestine foes, and treason and traitors at home. When the rebellion in Massachu setts was put down, did that put Massachusetts out of the Lnion and destroy the State ? IN hen the rebellion in Pennsylvania was put down, did that destroy the State and put it out of the Union? So when the re cent great rebellion was put down and the Constitu tion and laws of the country restored, the States engaged in it—the rebellion being crushed, the law restored, and the Constitution acknowledged in them— stand in the Union constituting a part of the glorious and bright galaxy of States. (Loud cheers.) In passing through the ordeal what has been done in Tennessee under the direction of my lamented predecessor ? He commenced the work of restoration ; he succeeded before I came here in restoring the relations which had existed between Tennessee and the rest of the Union, with ono ex ception, and that was the relation of representation. I came to Washington, and under extraordinary circum stances succeeded to the presidential chair. What then ? The Congress of the United States had adjourned without prescribing any plan. I then proceeded as I had done in my own State, under the direction of the Government, to restore the other States. And how did we begin ? We found that the people had no courts, and we said to the judges, the district-attorneys, and the marshals, " Go down and hold your courts ; the people need the tribunals of justice to be opened." Was there anything wrong in that? The courts were opened. What else? We locked out and saw that the people down there had no mails ; they had been interrupted and cut off by the operation of the rebellion. We said to the Postmaster-General, " Let the people have facilities for mail communication, and let them again begin to understand what we all feel and think —that we are one people." We looked out again and saw that there was a blockade, that the custom-houses were all closed. We said : " Open the doors of the custom houses and remove the blockade ; let trade and commerce and the pursuits of peace be restored." And it was done. We thus travelled on, step by Ntep, opening custom-houses, appointing collectors, establishing mail facilities, and restoring all relations that had been interrupted by the rebel lion. Was there anything undertaken to be done here that was not authorised by the Constitution ; that was not jus tified by the great necessities of the case; that has not been clearly consonant with the Constitution, and with the ge nius and spirit of our Government ? (Cheers.) What re mained to be done ? One other thing remained—to de monstrate to the civilised and pagan world that we had passed successfully through the third ordeal of our na tional existence, and proved that our Government was perpetual. A great principle was to be restored, which was established in our revolution when our fathers were contending against the power of Great Britain. What was one of the principal causes of this complaint ? It was that they were denied representation. They complained of taxation without representation. (Cheers.) One of the great principles laid down by our fathers, and which fired their hearts, was that there should be no taxation without representation. How, then, does the matter stand ? Who has bees usurping power ? Who has been defeating the operation of the Constitution ? and what now remains to be done to complete the restoration of these States to all their former relations under the Federal Government, and to finish the great ordeal through which wo have been passing ? It is to admit representation. (Cheers.) And when wo say admit representation, what do we mean ? We mean representation in the constitution and law-abid ing sense, as was intonded at tho beginning of the Govern- 'neut. The Constitution declares in express terms that each House, the Senate and the House of Representatives, each acting for itself, shall be the judge of the returns, elec tion, and qualifications of its own members. It is for each house to settle that question under the Constitution and un der the solemn sanction of an oath. Andean we believe that either House would admit any member into its body to participate in the legislation of the country who was not qualified and fit to sit in that body and participate in its proceedings ? They have the power, not the two houses, but each for itself. The Constitution further de clares that no State shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate of the United States without its consent. Then where do we stand? All that is needed to finish this great work of restoration is for the two houses respec tively to determine the question. " Oh !" but soon some one will say, "a traitor might come in." The answer to that is, that each house must be the judge, and, if a traitor presents himself, cannot either house know that he is a traitor? (Applause.) And, if he is a traitor, can they not kick him outof the door, and send him back, saying to the people who sent him, "You must send us a loyal man." (Cheers, and a voice, " That's logic.") Is there any diffi culty about that? (" No, no," and cheers.) If a traitor presents himself to either house, cannot that house say to him, "No, you cannot be admitted into this body. Go back. We will not deny your people the right of representation, but they must send a loyal representative." (Cheers.) And when the States do send loyal representatives, can you have any better evidence of their fidelity to the Constitution and the laws ? There is no one learned in the Constitution and the laws who will say that if a traitor happens to get into Congress that body cannot expel him after he gets in. That makes assurance doubly sure, and conforms the ac tion of the Government to the Constitution of our fathers. Hence, I say, let us stand by that Constitution ; and in standing by it the covenant will be preserved. While I have been contending against traitors and treason, and se cession and the dissolution of the Union, 1 have been contending at the same time against the consolidation of power here. (Cries of " Good !") I think the consolidation of power here is equally dangerous with the separation of the States. (Cheers.) The one would shatter us and might run into anarchy, while the other would concentrate and eventuate in monarchy. (Cheers, and cries of " Can't do it !'') Oh, but there is an idea abroad that one man can be a despot, that one man can be a usurper ; but that a hun dred or two hundred men can not. Mr. Jefferson, the apostle of liberty, tells us, and so does common sense, that tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many more vigorously and more tyrannically than by one. What power has your President to be a tyrant ? What can he do ? What can he originate ? Why, they say he exer cised the veto power. (Laughter.) What is the veto power ? (A voice—" To put down the nigger." Laugh ter.) Who is your President ? (Several Voices—" Andy Johnson.") Is he not elected by the people through the electoral colleges ? The President is nothing more than the tribune of the people. His office is tribunal in its character. In olden times, when tribunes were first elected in the Roman Republic, they stood at the door of the Roman Senate, which was then over-reaching on the popular rights and putting the heel of power on the necks of the people. The people chose a Tribune and placed him at the door of the Senate, so that when that body ven- tured an oppressive act ho was ready with power to sly, " Veto, I forbid." Your President now is the Tribune of the people. 1 thank God I am, and intend to assert the poWer which the people have placed in me. (Cheers.) Your President, standing hero day after day and discharg ing his duty, is like a horse on a tread-wheel, and because he dares differ in opinion in regard to public measures, he must be denounced as a usurper and a tyrant. Can he originate anything under the veto power ? I think the veto power is conservative in its character and affirmative. All that can be done by the veto power is to say when legislation is improper, hasty, unwise, unconstitutional, "Stop action— wait till this can be submitted to the people, and let them consider whether it is right or wrong." (Applause.) That is all there is in it ; hence I say that tyranny and power can be exercised somewhere else than by the executive. He is powerless. All that he can do is to check legislation, to hold it in a state of abeyance till the people can con sider and understand what is being done then. What has been done ? I have done what I believed the Constitution required me to do. (Applause.) I have done what I be lieved duty and conscience required me to do. (Cheers.) So believing, I intend to stick to my position, relying on the judgment, the integrity, and the intelligence of the masses of the American people, the soldiers and sailors ex pressly. (Cheers.) Then, for my life, I cannot see where there is any tyranny. It is very easy to impugn motives, and suspect the purest and best acts of a man's life. If you come forward and propose a certain thing, your mo tives are suspected and condemned. And if you withhold your opinion, you are regarded as being opposed to the matter ; so that it is very hard to move ono way or the other, so far as certain persons are concerned, on all ques tions pertaining to the interests of the great masses of the American people, for in them is my hope for the salvation of the country. lam with you, citizens, soldiers, and sailors. Who has sacrificed or periled more than the humble individual who addresses you ? Has not my all been put on it—my life, my property—everything sacred and dear to men has been staked upon it ; and can I now be suspected of faltering at the close of this third ordeal of the nation ? Where is he, in public or private life, who has sacrificed more, or who has devoted more of his time and energies to the accomplishment of the great end than I ? And I have done it from the promptings of my own heart and conscience. I believe it was right. And with your hearts, and your countenances, and your encouragement, I shall go through on that line—(cheers and laughter) —and when I come to talk about sailors and soldiers, about this I to be done, and that to be done, all I want is for you to wait and see. So far as the future is concerned, wait and see if I do not stand by you, although every other man falter and fail. (Cheers.) I want to see measures of policy brought forward which will advance the interests of the NG, MAY 5, 1866. lo ✓ people, and of that portion of the people who constitute the gallant and brave men who, in both branches of the service, have upheld the national flag, and sustained the country in the recent struggle. I thank you, gentlemen, for the encouragement. I thank you for your countenance on this occasion ! It cheers me on and gives me strength to perform the work befor3 me. If we are true to our selves, if we are true to the Constitution, the day is not far distant when this Government will be restored. Let us go on and restore the Government. Let us enlarge the area of our commerce and trade ; and let us not only in spire confidence at home, but respect abroad, by letting the nation resume its career of prosperity and greatness. I know that some will fr d fault with me and say I am too lenient, too kind, and all that. If we were all to be put to death or punished, or banished for one offence, or for the second offence, and were to be lost or excluded from society and communion with our fellow -n' °° ' how many of us would be left ? I have felt when I have done wrong and repented of it, that I was as siscere and honest as he who had done no wrong at all. Then we must reason with each other, and understand our nature, and what is necessary to restore peace, and harmonY, and concord to a distracted and divided people. In time of war it is right to burn villages, seed cities, and devastate fields, to lay waste a country , an cripple and reduce the enemy. But in time of peace the converse of that course is precisely the right one, a nd th e true policy of a nation is to rebuild its cities, restore its villages, and let all the avocations of peace and prosperitY be restored. I know there are some who have be en 4t home calculating during the war, and who bring to the consideration of questions of peace, harmony, and 9 1 , ° avocations of civil life, all the feelings of resentment whin " animated us when the excitement was running high. 131 ,1 take the brave men who sustained the flag on the field and on the wave, and you will find better feelings and better judgment on these questions than you Will find with those who have been sitting in the closet and nev er smelled gunpowder. (Cheers.) Yes, from the private IT to the commanding general, they know better how to treat the present circumstances than any of those closet patriots and humanitarians. Then my countrymen, fellow citizens, soldiers and sailors, let us rejoice that peace 1 / 3 s come. Let us rejoice that the relations of the States are about being restored. Let us make every effort w e cell on proper principles to restore the relations which ex erted between the Federal Government and the States; and T - thank God that peace is restored. I thank God that our brave men can return to their families and homes an d I , e sumo their peaceful avocations. I thank God that tlie baleful planet of fire and blood which a short time ago was in the ascendant has been chased away by the benig nant star of peace. Now that the star of peace is s n ie .'". pended in the heavens, let us cultivate the earth and t' relations of peace—all those associations which apper tain to men in peace. The time is not distant Whelli we can have a political millennium—political jub ilee, gnu, when we can proclaim to all the nations of the ea rth that we are again a united people, and that we have triutne i ; antly passed through our third ordeal—have peace at bo n , and power to bid defiance to all the world. (Loud cbeers') Remember one thing, gentlemen, that in my Pa st life j though slanderers may misrepresent, none can say thatin ever deceived or betrayed him. It will be for you to sen the future who will redeem all his promises, and who sr be the most faithful. I thank you, gentlemen, for the COal" pliment you have paid me. At the close of his remarks, the President and the Union were loudly and enthusiastically cheered. The Pr eside i n was evidently gratified at his reception, and warrl" v thanked the vast audience for their courtesy, their en: couragement, and their support. The band perforate' some more patriotic airs, and the immense crowd die' persed. COUNTRY MARKETS.
