PA RLI AM ENT ARY PAYERS. EMPLOYMENT OF THE P gra OF IRELAND. SECOND REPORT. EXTRACT OF THE REPORT op THE SELECT COM- MITTFE. In considering the caws:es which discourage in distry,in Ireland, it is inipossible to *overlook the la , w - ntabic circumst,ture, almost peculiar to that country, of the non-resideuee of a great propor tion of the pronrictors ; and especially of that portion which could tTP , flt con , ribute, by their rank, their wealth, and their mmal influence, to operate bene6cally on the habits 2nd comforts nt the lower clasAes. The expendit Ore of income in Endand, - resulting therefrom, enhances the claim of eland Oil the genet otts consideration of Par liament. Ou the subject of mulricultural improvement your Committee, (controlled by the perniam ni principle of avoiding linneees.tarily to tomper with so important a hi ancli of industry,, tthd leaving it to its Kest encomagement, the operation of a ;ice market), neverilieless thilfk it necessary tit point out time extent to which Ireland may be improved, find its power of production of human food vastly extended. It appears in ev i dence, that there are of reclaim able Bog in Ireland, two millions of piste acres, of a soil suited to the production of grain ; that the measures suggested by the scientific pers\ons employed under the Bog Commissioners, witch fa cilitate the application of private speculation to such improvements ; and that in order to give ef ficacy to those suggestions, a General•lnelostire and Drainage Act, on the prineirle of that for England, would be highly important ; bqond that, as the basis for earticolar local Acts, your Com mittee do not venture to go, save in recommend ing, that the powers given tinder the Act of last Session be extended to exempting from interest such advances as may he made for " Public Works," on doe security for re-payment of the principal within a limited number of years. A reference to the Reports alluded to will evince the great source of eteploym,nt which the improve ment of the Bogs of Ireland wool , ! offer to the population ; and the facility of ttansport by ca .nals through site% level lines, ‘sould ensure to Xneiand supplies of grain at moderate pt ices, which might I,nder it wholly independent ,of fr,- yeign countries for the food of its manufacturing population. The Mountain Districts of Ireland, at present compPratively unproductive, are capable of high improvement ; they consist of about ore and a halt millions of Iridi acre,l4, of which it rpnear4 that about one half is suitable for agticultore, the remainder for much improved Tiasturage, rear ing or dairy p,:rposes ; anti the entire eminently suitable for iranting, much of the worst of it hav= ing been old forest laud. The Dente of the evidence relative to 'those Mountain Districts has led your Conimittee to consider of their improvement, in conaexion with that of the Fisheries, of which the principal lie along the coasts of those distric',. In whatever view it can be considered, whether es a source of National wealth, As a mats of em ploying an overflowing population, or as. a nor set y of the best seamen, your Committee cars not too strongly impress on the House the importance the Irish Fishery. I addition to Cue evidence on that subject, stated in the Appendix, your Committee have referred to several Reports of the Irish House of Commons, from the year 1733 to to 1799, all demonstrating the highly advaotage• ous situation of . Ireland, as a seat of the fiOieries, which could alone have been rendered unprofi table by a most perverse and injudicious system of laws. The revision and :simplification of those laws, and the direct application of encouragement tinder them to the resident fishermen of the coast, your Committee consider essential to any successful fishery iu Ireland. The failure of the existing system may be prov ed by the - fact established. in the public Accounts, that while in the last year herrings were imported to the value of 58; Hai. the export trade, within the last three years, has fallen to a twentieth part of its former amount. The actual condition of the fishermen on the coast appears to be miserable ; and yet their ge, nerel habits, character and qualifications, are Mgt;ly deserving of liberal encoural;ement. It appears from tie whole current_ of evidence, not only that the western, northern, and southern coasts of Ireland, afford every advantage for a Bay or Coast Fishery, but that they are eminently suited fOr a deep sea Cud .J'ishety of great import. 'once, calculated to afford permanent employment, ndent of tha' for the product , on of oil from the' whale and baAing•shark, which abound in the c, , ntiguous sears. Without enlarging on the, imp° , ranee of this subject, your Committee refer to t! e evidence in their Appethlix, as well as the Toluminousiestimony contained in the Irish Jour- Dals i.efore referred to, and they particularly call the attention of the House to that of Mr. Td6 ford, which has milder' them to take the benefit of experience from au improved sysiem of Fishery 1. vs, mid of Parii2dieutary cucouragement, Misely applied and eminently successful in the case 9f Scotland. The inesiiinable benefits of the measure, which hAS opened through the Highlands o Scotland suitable noes of road into the seats of the fisheries troin the more improved disliicts, form strong contrast to the numerous instances iu which public int;ney has been injudiciously ap- plied to local objects. The establi;iiment of sue .cesstul fisheries. it. consequence, has materially aug mented the national wealth, and opened sources .of the most valuable industry t and it appears to your Conmittee,. that so extensive a national be ,~►efit was never att.iined for so moderate an penditure. - In the case of Scotland, in 1802-3, the•Tteastn l { ,adop , ed the principle of applying the, public money for the great ultimate public object of cncourag= ing the iii.sberies ; and,,,vith that view, they ot•- dcred sut veys to be made by skiltul engineers, and .approved a scheme for openin t z. the Highlands on a prospective estinte of 150,0001., to be met by an equal levy on the districts to be thereby im• proved ; of 'die signal snee'239 of that scheme your Committee have the most satisfactory evidence. On every ground of policy as well as justice, your Committee earnestly recommend the applica tion of the precedent of sentlaud -to the High land Districts of Ireland. It appears in evidence, that the circumstances of the countries in ques tion are remarkably similar ; they are both moon tainons and tincoltivated, and abound with an unemployed popolation. The Irish soil is stated to be capable of higher cultivation., as better in and equally abounding with manures, which at present cannot be' transferred for its improve ment'beyond the mere precincts of the sea. It _abounds with the best natural harbours for safe anchorage and shelter, but is deprived of the be• nefit of these from the want of piers or lauding places, which it appears could be constrocted at modertve expellee. These favourable fishing itations arc also, for want of roads and bridges, cut off from ;titmouse with the interior, from which capital may be expected, and a market found for the coast fishery. To zJi these natural claims to similar encoo, yagt.ment, those disJics of Ireland add the very serious-on?, that front the non-residence of a tua7 jority of the proprietors, they do not possess within themselves the means of effecting !hose objects by - ptivate exertion. It appear , moreover', that in the case of Scotland, no combination of private individuals, -with equal funds, could have effected the same amonot of good which has been wrought under the Parliamentary Commission for Scotland. And in any measures which the wis dom of Parliament may adopt, the power through leh;ch it is to he exercised should be removed front the influence of local interests and partia lity in its application. It is no small recommen dation of a similar experiment in Ireland, that the amount of money requisite for its completion is so small as' not to present any obstacle, even in the present difficult situation of the finances of the State ; and that its application would more over be justified and facilitated, by the powet pos sessed, under the Grand Jury system of Ireland, of taxing the land to be improved in an amount . equal to any public grant, by which ;Duch of the difficulties encountered in the Scots system would be avoided. June 7, 1819. LANCASTER ASSIZES,' SEPT. 6. CROWN SIDE. The proseetitions on the part of the Bank of Enefand were resumed this morning, when Ed word Booth, aged 43, was brought to the bar, barged with having had in his possession five I!. forged notes. The ATToRNEY-GENRRAL stated to the Jury, that this prosecution was founded upon a late Act of Parliament,. which was extremely wise and sa lutary in its provisions. The extreme.seve►ity of the laws against forgery and the uttering of forged notes naturally led both Judges ,and' Ju ries to regard with suspicion the evidence hrought forward where life was c o n cerned. — The detection of the original forgers wos matter of great difficulty, on account of the long succes sioti of hands through %%HO) this article passed before it was brought to market. So exceedingly difficult was the detection of the forger, that while multitudes had fallen the victims of their machinations, not more than two of them had been brought to punishment. It was, therefore, an important and salutary dory to detect and punish the ivterniediate agents in this destructive system. If they found it probable that the prisoner possessed several forged notes, knowing that they were fored, it would be their duty to convict him. In consequence of the insinuations made by cross examination on the part of the Counsel (Mr. Coltman) for a prisoner on Satuplay, that the constables of . Manchester were not to be believed, he considered it his duty to remark, that if coo stables were not to lie believed because they were constables, there could be.no detection of crime, no support t,f police, and no punishment of thieves. There had been Of old a war between constables and thieves. Those whose business it was to prevent plunder and theft, and to detect and bring to trial plunderers anti thieves, must always he viewed with hostility by , thieves and plunderers; but unless we were to break up the frame of Society, and.to dissolve the flaws which bound all the moral elements of So ciety—unless we were to prefer a, stare:of life which admitted of neither Judge nor Jiffy, they must support the Police, and give credit, to the constables, where there Was nothing to impeach their veracity. These attacks_ upon the constables of Manchester bad become more frequent and con fident of late. From his experience in thii County, which had been considerable, he believed that such attacks were unmerited;. they' were re spectable and decent persons, and did - no.more than their duty. . „. Wm. Booth, a constable, and Mr. Nadin,.gave the evidence of the conduct of the-prisoner, when be was aprehended, and the owes were found in his possession. Mr. Glover proved the notes forged. The prisoner said, the biggest part .of Booth's evidence was false ; he was a poor man, and co►►ld employ neither Counsel nor Attorney ; he had received the , notes from a pe•rson.!:.who calked himself Cardwell, but whose name he since found was Qoin, and who employed him.to carry coals an►i to pay for them:- lie had out . wiiness- John ‘Voodhouse swore that. be.saw Qoin give the notes as good ones to the prisciner, 'whom witness knew to be used to load coals. Mr. liaro,i WOOD said, they lied :been told by the Counsel that this prosecution had been found ed on a late Act of Parliament,'passe,d to prevent' forged notes from getting, into .ciroulaiiop.. The punishment of ibis offence was transportation for 14 years. It 'was a very severe punishment, hut,: if they were satisfied , that the evidence • brought, the , prisOner within the operation: of::tfie Act, it wa4 their ditty to convict him.—Guilly, john•Fiettling , , aged:s7, , was .mea t pit" upon his . trial fur a pteciat , lF , siinilar offence:344lle firand.

MANstoN-House.—Yesterday two young_men, named Richardson and Marley, were charged, the former with having assaulted an officer in the ex ecurion of his duty, and the latter with having at tempted-to excite the multitude to rescue Richard son. • Buxton, an officer, stated, that he saw at the fair-a man taking liberties with a female. Wit ness, who was disgusted at his conduct,' went op tp the fellow for the purpose of potting him out of the fair. A violent resistance was made. The officer was addressed by one of the mob, who said " D—n your eyes, why do you use the man in that ere way ?," and the person who so civilly ad dressed hitn gave him a pelt in the left eye that closed it up. The officer immediately seized the assailant, who proved to be Richardson, and who exerted himself greatly to the injury of the fea tures of his opponents, for he fought his way in a desperate manner. As he went along amidit buf fetiogs, a person in the mob cried out, "A rescue," and used other language to•excire to a breach of the peace. This person was Malley, and he was very soon after,vards apprehended.
