iMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 5. Lt M PLuNKT.tr took his seat in the House this eveuiug. Sir ALE:CA.4O)ER. GRANT and others, brought up the Hotel Licensing Bill ; a Bill to enable the Bishop of Win chester to, Cell timber on the estate of his See, and to apply the mo• Ae y arising therefrom to eertain purposes ; and a Bill f , )r cm:losing Lands in Great Horsham. Sir G. HILL and others brought up a Bill for making a aaTigable canal in Ireland. Mr. Brea and others - brought up the Covent Garden Market Improvement Bill. ' t ord ELDON presented petitions from the inhabitants of Chelteuham, and Wardleston, in the county of Northampton, apices farther concessions to the Roman Catholics. ' Also a petition from planters of property in the West Indian Colonies, residing in and near Edinburgh, praying that before any alteration . should be ma d e i n t h e l aw as it affected Slavery, their Lordships would be pleased to bend out Commissioners to see how the Slaves were fed, clothed, and treated, and that the proprietors might be properly Indemnified whenever any alteration took placs.____ Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from a Mr. Banks (wt thought he said), on the subject of the Leigh Peerage, but in so low tone of voice that we could not ascertain the substance. SCOTCH SETTLEMENT BILL. Lord ROSESERRY moved the second reading of the Scotch Settlement Bill. In doing so, the Noble Lorsl sated, that in consequence of the great influx of Irish pour, particularly into the western parts of Scotland, the sup porters of this Bill had thought it necessary that it should be introduced, and its object was that such Irish poor should not be entitled to a settlement there until they had been Seven years resident in Scotland. As the law now stood, they were entitled to claim a settlement s well as the Scotch themselves after having resided there three years. The consequence was that many aged people from Ireland, unable any longer to work, flocked into Glasgow, for in stance, that in a short time they might gain support for their future lives. Crowds of the younger Irish population oho glutted other parts of Scotland, and underrated the Scotch labourer in performing the work of those parts, which wag a great evil, and productive of considerable misery. Lord MELVILLE gave his strenuous opposition to thu provisions of the Bill ; he objected to the principle, and considered that if it were even to be passed it would be impracticable to carry its provisions into operation. It was the first time, he believed, that ever such a principle had been attempted to be brought into Parliament sioco the Union, and was highly repugnant to every measote that hid been passed, with the view of giving effect to the legislative union. He thought it would be a harsh enact ment. Why should their Lordships take upon themselves to legislate that the Scotch should be entitled to a settlement after three years' residence, and the Irish not entitled till after seven years' residence. The Noble Lord moved as an amendment, that this Bill he read a second time this day three months. The Earl of LIMERICK cordially joined with the Noble Lord who bad last spoken in opposing this Bill. The Noble LOrd who introduced the Bill had said that poverty, and he was not quite sure whether he had not added pro gigxey, was introduced into Scotland by ship-loads from Ireland. It was quite new to him that Scotland, for which he had the greatest respect, was not to be soiled by the foot of an Irishman. What would the Noble Lord (Roseberry) say, if this Bill passed, and the inhabitants of this country were to say, ns he believed th e y did once say,— F or Heaven's sake keep us from Scotland !—(Laughter.)— He trusted that the House would not go hack to measures of antiquity which he had hoped were exploded from this country. It bad been said that the worthy Scotch labourers were ousted out of their employment by the Irish performing the work for less wages—did the Noble Lord not know, that only a short time agh the majority of weavers in the West of Scotland, consi dered that they ought to have more wages than their eta ployers deemed necessary, and that at that time their I.llxstere put advertisements in the Papers, and brought over these Irisiituen.—(A laugh.)—He trusted the House would not sanction the Bill. Lord ROSEBERRY, in explanation, said that no men out of Ireland could be more anxious than he was to have same measures adopted tor the relief of its inhabitants.— He meant nothing disrespectful either to Ireland or its inhabitants : it was owing to tire great influx of Irishmen into SCotland, that this I3ill was originated, but the enact ments were to apply to the English as well as the Irish residing there. The Earl of HADPINGTON supported the Bill. The Earl of ROSSLYN opposed the Bill in its pre` tent shape. And after some observations from•the Earl Vf BELlirl7aN and Lord Miztvitte, it was agreed that the Bill should pass through its present stage, and also through a Committee ; that it should be presented as amended in the Committee, and that it should then lie over until the next Session. CATHOLIC QUESTION. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in reply to a quotion from the Earl of Eldon, as to the course which he intended to puisue respecting the resolution in the Howie of Com mons, which was to be taken into consideration on Mon day next, Lords, I consider this a very proper ripportuuity Of stating, not only to the Noble Lord, but to the House generally, the course. which I intend to adopt when the resolution relating to the Ca'dies, and to which the concurrence of your Lordships is desired, comes on for tlis cutsion. Having been twice before pressed to bring for ward that question under circumstances which made me deem it not prudent to accede to the wish of the pe titioners, I do think that a proper opportunity has now occurred, and it is therefore my firm intention on Monday ne.xt to state the reasons why I shall propose to - thi s House the concurrent tcsolutions of the Commons. If your Lordships so concur, it is not my intention to follow it up with any other proposition than that concurrence be ceninavoicated to the Lower House. MINISTERIAL CHANGES. Lord KING, in preseutinff a petition-from a Unitarian Congregation of Ashton, in favour of the Catholic Claims, alluded in strong terms to the Ministerial changes which were tiow so frequently making. He regretted that the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Lord Eldon) amidst all the changes which bad taken place was not returned to that ~eat, pointing to the Woolsack; and, that he was also pre. eluded from sitting along with the allied forces on that seat, pointing to the Ministerial Bench, was also a cause of deep regret to him. Without alluding to the " One cheer more," yr to any other circumstance that might tend to prejudice, he would only express his regret for the circumstances which he had mentioned ; for if the Noble ', f ord had worn a. pair Of epaulets upon his shoulders instead of putting on the " full bottomed wig," he might have found himself at least shipped again upon the opposite benches ; but now the Major-Generals who looked forward to promotion under a military commander, would not feel themselves inclined to yield such a concession, looking as they appeared to do, upon all such peaceable avocations ae a solemn buffoonery.— (A kugh.) 'The Earl of ELDON, after declaring that be had not, Me least desire of opposing the petition presented by the Noble Lord, and which he hoped would meet with due at tvution from their Lordships, assured the House that be bad quite relinquished the idea of ever again occupying that scat (pointing to the Woolsack) either as a military ornament to it, or in any other way whatever.- As to the allusions made by the Noble Lord to the effusions of bois terous merriment, he should merely say in reply, that Noble Lords and Hon. Gentlemen ought to have tried to ascer tain the truth of such rumours before they had undertaken to lay the imputation, for if they had made the inquiry they would have found them to he untruo With respect to the removal from office of any.of his Majesty's Ministers GI: of himself, the Noble Lord had himself interfered fully as much as he had. And he (Lord Ellen) would take this opportunity , of declaring, that no part had ever been taken b Jilin either in the dissolutions of Ministers or the for mations of new Administrations. He wished not to totddleli n such matters--he was hoe for the purpose along ut Bein g his duty to his country—he was here alode to ful fill the solemn pledge, by which he was bound to that ,ountry,and he would therdure repel with indignation and contempt those taunts which had been thrown out in language that had fallen from the Noble -Lord opposite.— ( Repeated cries of hear, from all sides of the House.) — Though his life had been a long one, yet he thanked God that he had never disgraced the character which that life had supported. Ile had not disgraced it himself, and he would never sit,by mid allow it to be disgraced by any other man. Lord KING presented two other petitions to the same effect from Ireland, which were laid on the t Lord HOLLAND presented a .pctition from Rochdale, praying that their Lordships Would make no further changes in the laws affecting the currency of the country, and also against any additional tax on the .importati on of foreign wool. The Noble Lord presented petitions from Hoxton, in Warwick ; Dorchester; Chipping. Norton ; un d wur.. ttington, in favour of Catholic Claims. The Duke of MONTROSE presented a petition against, the Roman Catholics from Glasgow. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, Stamp Allowances Bill was read a second time and order,: to be committed to-morrow. LUNATIC ASYLUM BILL. Lord MALNIESBURY rose to move the order of day for receiving the report of the Pauper Lunatic Bill. In compliance, however, with the request of Lord Eldon, he consented to postpone his motion. The respect which he had at all times entertained for the Noble Earl was certainly not diminished by what he had heard that night. And althotigh he apprehended considerable danger from delay, he would consent to yield to the wishes of the Noble Earl, and postpone his motion till Wednesday next. The Noble Lord then moved the order of the day for the House going into a Committee on the County Lunatic Asylum Bill. The several clauses of the Bill were then read; and an amendment made by Lord Malmesbury for the introduction of a clause for the regulations of Chaplains attending the several Asylums ; also a clause making them liable to be visited by the Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. After some further verbal amend ments the Noble Lord moved that the report should be re ceived on Wednesday next. The Tralee Harbour Improvement Bill ; the Hotel Licensing Bill; and the Covent-Garden Market Bill, were read a first times Lord SHAFTESBURY moved that a Committee should sit on any Private Bill till ten days after the second reading. Mr. Mitchell attended, in obedience to their Lord ships, with the original Record from the Court of King's Bench, to make an amendment in a writ of error. On the motion of Lord Shaftesbury he was permitted to make the amendment. The flonse adjourned at half-past six o'clock. i i I ; = M i . I Z ; HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 5. Mr. 'Morrison from the Mint, presented an Account of the quantity of Gold coined during the last year. Mr. PLANTA moved for a new Writ for a Member to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Weobly, in the room of Sir George CockbUrn, who, had accepted the Steward ship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Sir RONALD FERGUSSON presented a petition from the parish of Scoonic, in the county of Fife, praying the House to adopt the plan suggested by Mr. Robert Gourlay, for paying °tithe national debt by the sale of lands in Ca nada.—Ordered to lie on the table. On the motion of Lord ALTIIORP, the order of the day for the Committer on the Freeholders Registration Bill was postponed until to-morrow se'nnight. ALEHOUSE LICENSING BILL. 2.1 . r. DAVIES GILBERT presented a petition from Penzance, against the Alehouse Licensing Bill. Mr. TALNIASH presented a similar petition from Grantham. Mr. WARD presented a petition from the Merchants and Trat!rrs of the city of London, praying the House to repeal the Stamp Duties on Receipts. Mr. LOCKHART presented a petition from the Wool Growers of Selkirk, for a further protection against the importation of Foreign Wool. COUNTRY BANK NOTES. Mr. MUNDY presented a petition from Chesterfield, in Derbyshire, against the Act which limits the circula tion of the one pound notes to the Ist of April, 1829. Similar petitions were presented hy Mr. HENR,T EDEts", from Fowey ; by Colonel Bears/WA from Berwick-on- Tls-ecd ; and by Mr. MARSHALL, froin Rotherham.—The petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. W. HORTON presented a petition from the labour ing people of Exeter complaining of distress. Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from Cornwall, praying for the abolition of Negro slavery. USURY LAWS. Mr. P. THOMPSON brought in a Bill to repeil the Laws relating to Usury in certain Ca.M.S, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second tune on the 13th inst. Mr. - Alderman WOOD moved for returns of the quan tity of Malt distilled into Spirits in the United Kingdom during the last year.--Ordered. Mr. V. FITZGERALD presented a petition from the Society for the Improvement of Ireland, complaining of the lamentable condition of the Poor in Ireland. Mr. RO}IERT GRANT presented a petition from In verness, calling attention to the state of the Gaols in Scotland, which was referred to the Cotnniittee on the Scotch Jails. ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought up the Report on this Bill, and moved that itshould be read a third time. Mr. HUME said he was sorry this Bill had been intro duced as a private Bill; it gave the Archbishop of Canter bury the power of appointing to a sinecure office, with large emelutnents. The late Archbishop had appointed three persons, one of whom had lately died, and the present Bill was introduced to enable the Archbishop to grant the otfice in reversion to a party who was to receive none of the emoluments until after the death of the other persons. It was an invidious task for him to oppose the Bill at this stage, but he hoped that the Hon. Gent. (the Attorney-Ge neral) would not proceed with it until some returns which he (Mr. flume) had moved for should be produced. These returns would skuw whether the office to which he alluded was a sinecure or mt. if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman consented to postpone the third reading of the Bill for a short time, he (Mr. Hume) would not say another word on it, but if he persisted in pressing it en, he (Mr. Hume) should move by way of amendment, that the Bill should be read a third time this day week, when he hoped the re turns he had moved for would be laid on the table. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the returns which the lion. Gentleman had moved for, could have nothing to do with this, which was a private Bill. There had been a commission of inquiry into the office of Registrar to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Commissioners re ported most favourably of the manner in which the office was conducted and the business discharged. There could be no doubt but that according to all former precedent, the Archbishop had a right to grant the office in reversion to throe persons, and this being the ca, , he could not see any Gbject whatever in postponing the third reading of the Bill. Mr. D. W. HARVEY was favourable to the postpone ment of the Bill, it might turn out that the office was not a sinecure, though some thought it was, but it was much letter to wait until the returns were laid on the table. Mr. WYNN expressed his surprise that the Bill should be brought in as a rivate Bill when in fact it was a pub lic one, and one in which the House was materially inte rested. He thought that the third reading should be laid before the Fousc. _ _ . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL supported the Bill and :aid he did not think any delay necessary, for he was sa tisfied that the emoluments of the office were considerably obviated. _ Sir E. KNATCHBULL could not vote for the Bill in the absence of returris upon the contents of which would depend his support or opposition to the Bill altogether.— The third reading of the Bill was then postponed to Thursday next: Mr. BROIVNLOW said, he had a petition to present, and he was sorry and surprised that no Minister for Ireland, was present at that hour (past five o'clock), the more espe cially as he had given notice of his intention to present this petitiou, which related to a sulsject of the greatest importance. The petition, which was from an Association entered into for the improvement of Ireland, and was signed by Noblemen, Members of Parliament, merchants, traders, and others, after stating the distressed state of the popula tion of Ireland, owing to absenteeism and the state of the laws, suggested as remedies a repeal of the Regulations affecting the Butter Trade, and the draining and improve ment of Bog and Mountain Land in that country, to the extent of between four and five millions olacres. Mr. H. GRATTAN said lie thought the Hon. Member for Armagh deserved the thanks of Ireland for the part taken by him upon this question. He also expressed his regret at the absence of Ministers, when a petition of so much importance was presented. He was willing to ad mit that English gentlemen and Scotch gentlemen took up this question with a view to prevent their respective conutriesfrom being overran by Irish panpere ; but as it could sot be expected by the Irish that those gentlemen would do more then effect this object, if possible it was the duty of Irish Members to press the matter upon the consideration of Miuisters with a view to permanent relief. He was not one of those who were disposed to quarrel with absenteeism, because it was not unnatural to expect that persons of large landed property would prefer witnessing the ease and comfort of the people of England, rather than the diseen tent and wretchedness of belied. He thought if the suggestions in the petition were acted upon, it would do much towards rescuing the increasing population of Ireland from extreme misery and wretchedness.-- As his Majesty's Government had thought it advisable to reclaim the waste lands in the colonies, he thought Ire land was equally well entitled to a similar experiment. Mr. DAWSON, who had entered the House a few mi nuted before, said that he had heard the statements of his , utly Hon. Friend, and he was sorr y to say, that he c onsidered both statements.very much exa g gerated, and th e peti tnhe eHousejytotoptiolos a th o at e_i tv iel b r; ie li l t i l xvn respecti Drainage ge and utterly impracticable, ts what had been said te asasked am a General Inclosuredrelative • lAtievte.—to(tihie4e state of trade and com merce in Ireland, and the influx of Irish labourers itto this h country, he should say that from ret urns which i held in his hand it appeared that that tra de was unnecessary,and that more Irishmen returned annually the port of Liverpool to Ireland than came from to that port from Ireland. From those returns it appeared that the exports of Ireland in 1800 amounted to 5,462,0001. ; and in 1820 to 10,307,0001. ; and that upon an average of the last three years the anneal importation of Irishmen from Ireland to the port of Liverpool was 25,000, whilst the numbers of Irishmen who sailed annually from that port to Ireland Were 50,000. He believed also that a I similar result would ensue if a similar account was received from Glasgow and the other ports frequented by the Irish ; and therefore, so far from the Irish population in this country being on the encrease, be really believed that on a correct examination it would be found to be diminishing. He contended therefore that the Irish who came over here to work, in place of doing injury, were conferring wealth on the country. They were not to he looked upon as beggars or:intruders. They brought their labour freely to market and returned home with what they could earn.— He admitted that every encouragement should he given to improve the condition of the people of Ireland ; lint the idea should never be encouraged of giving employment to the population by an advance of public money. Ide knew from experience that money thus advanced was always ill planed, and in general made a source of jobbing. Th e people should be taught to depend mainly upon their own exertions.—( Hear, hear.) Sir JOHN NEWPORT said the speech of the Hon. Gentleman reminded him of what occurred once in the Irish House of Commons, and which he recollected to have heard when a boy. A Learned Member of that day de cribed in glowing terms the prosperity of Ireland. Ano ther Member, in replying to his speech, observed, that from the statement of the Learned Member one would have thought that all their halfpence were converted into gui neas, in place of which he could not find either guineas or halfpence. The Hon. Gentleman said, that the country was advancing in prosperity, and at the same time ad mitted that the people came over here in great numbers to look tin employment. If they had employment at home, would they come over here ? If the Hon. Gentleman read the report of the Commissioners, he would have seen that the draining of bogs was not so hopeless as he represented it. The great difficulty arose from the complication of tithes. The advantage of draining bogs was folly exemplified in this country. It Wag to it they owed that large tract of laud, the Bedford Level, and several others. In 1819, a Drainage Bill for Ireland was recommended, and one actually brought in in 1828, though afterwards abandoned. As Ireland had lost hee'own legislature, it was the duty of the English Govern ment to pay some attention to the interests of that country. The commerce of Ireland had certainly improv e d s i nce 1800, and that improvement was owing entirely to the Bill which he himself brought in for opening the inter course between both countries according to the terms of the: Union. But, from 1806 to 1820, no mea sure was adopted to follow this up. A great deal might be done by a little money. They had some claim on this country, which drew from Ireland very consider able sums. He was confident Ireland had improved greatly for the last twenty years, but improvement might be car ried much further. Great good might be done by the cul tivation of four millions of acres of land, lying in the very centre of the country. In 1819, the subject was brought before the House, and not one - step bad been taken since. His sincere desire at all tittles was to improve the country. Mr. L. FOSTER had a petition similar to this to pre sent from the county of Maya. He fully concurred in what had been said by his Hon. Friend, the Member for Derry (Mr. Dawson) that no good could result from an extended application of public money. It could not he denied at the same time, that if individuals were encou raged, by assistance from Government to apply their own capital, a great deal might be done in furthering the object of the petitioners. The earliest object of attention should be to remove the impediments of a legal nature.—(Hear.) —What the petitioners desired in the first place was, that roads should be opened so as to connect the Fisheries of the West and South with the interior parts of the country. In reclaiming wastelands something had been already done, and he was assured that many barren mountainous districts were brought into cultivation. The second great object of the petitioners was the draining of hogs. To effect this, lie contended that no expenditure of public money was ne cessary, neither did the Commissioners countenance any such idea. The impedimenta in the way of draining bogs were not of a financial nature, but there were obstacles of a legal nature, which he feared were insuperable. There were ten Engineers employed by the Commis sioners, and all of them, except one, agreed in this, that whatever might be the sum expended in draining; whether one pound or twenty pounds an acre, a return of from ten to fifteen per cent. might be expected. The fact stated by his Hon. Friend (Mr. Dawson), that bogs were not actually reclaimed was not a proof that they might net be reclaimed with a profitable return to the undertaker. The first great obstacle was, that the boundaries of Ahem bogs were not yet ascertained. There might be a remedy for this by application to the Court of Chancery, but that was so expensive a process that few perhaps' would he willing to have recourse to it. Perhaps. however, upon inquiry, means might be devised for removing this obstacle. The second dilfietilty arose from the tenants residing upon the terra firma adjoining those bogs. By the conditions of their lease they had the privilege of letting in their cattle during the summer to feed upon the bogs. It was a right of little value certainly, sufficient however to influence the tenant, and to make him reluctant to part with it. The shortness of his tenure prevented the tenant from making any attempt in the way of draining, and the land lord was prevented by the claim his tenants had of turning in their cattle. These were obstacles however which might he removed, and if once got rid of, much might he done without any great outlay of capital. Each pe prietur might improve his own part if stone machinery could be contrived to'eet rid of the existing difficulties. Mr. V. FITZGERALD was most anxious that the petitioners should succeed in the objects they proposed.— The first thing to be done was to get rid of the legal diffi culties. Colonel TRENCH said, if the people of Ireland could get sufficient employment, they would then see the country tranquillized. He was somewhat surprised at the speech of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Derry (Mr. Dawson). Whatever improvement might have taken place in Ireland, it could not be denied that great distress prevailed there he could point out in some parts such miserable wretched beings as would disgrace even the deserts of Africa, and this not in barren poor districts, but in the neighbourhood of towns and cities. English landlords were the pride and glory of Ehgland. Many of them were proprietors also in Ireland, and treated their tenants there in the best manner; he regretted to say, however, that there were others who paid no attention at all to them. For this they were much not e to he blamed than Irish landlords, who, having been long familiar with such scenes of misery, could not be so sensibly struck by them. By small loans from Govern ment, encouragement might he given to persons to embark their own capital, not in wild and visionary speculations, but in such as, of late, had been carried on in Ireland, and turned out very useful. He asked for Ireland only the same encouragement which had been given to Scotland, where the best effects had been produced by it. A better spirit was now growing up among the Irish landlords, and this was the moment when the assistance of Government would he most effectual. He saw with pleasure that this subject had been discussed without reference to party questions or political differences. Mr. Secretary PEEL trusted his Hon. Friend, the Member for Armagh (Mr. Brownlow), would not infer from his absence in the early part of this discussion that he felt any indifference to the objects of the petition.. The interview whieh lie had previously had with him 'on the subject must be quite sufficient to remove any impression of that kind from his mind. Nothing could be more de sirable than that, while considering questions of real na tional utility like the present, there should be total oblivion for the time of all political differences. It appeared to him that the application of the public money to any plans for the general improvement of Ireland, was a thing which ought to be approached with great caution. However, he would admit that all general doctrines of this kind were to be received with qualifications. Of late years the greatest advantage had arisen, in various instances, flout the application of the public money. For instance, that of opening by roads chains of communications with moun tainous districts. When he was in Ireland a large and extensive district on the west coast of Ireland, in the Barony of Ennis, had been improved in this manner. Govern ment advanced the money for opening roads, and the capital thus expended, was repaid many per cent. by the calling into existence of many towns and villages, by a general improvement of a part of the country which before was comparatively of no value, and by the habits of industry which were thus spread among the people. Improvements of this kind might become a source of saving to the public, for by improving the habits of the people, the employment of so large a police force as was now kept up in Ireland, might by degrees become less ne cessary. In many parts of Tipperary and Limerick, if they were improved, it would not be necessary to retain so large a police. He that very day received a communica tion from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, stating that he \Vila willing to supefintend himself the application of any sums which Government might deem it advisable to ad vance for the improvement of the country and bettering the condition of the people. In the application of money to objects of this nature, the greatest caution Wiai necessary. In the proposition, however, of his Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Louth (Mr. L. Foster), he could not see any ge ioreaienr:idgaaibyffit ioycor...flfrat draining ri. . e ad any nnoEi.yrivggeehffr ought to tnrfacility btreclaiming givene ar d swhichgeone rwawaste aimprovement Government u individualslran7ls,nh. oe c nw o tT u e hi l r could fi fi e rs u t u t i h e log to ln be an d y on D e, ra h in ow ag e e ve ß r\ i w i as w i ch re m m i ov h e t lbeegailntdric,f- I anew, , CM must be taken to guard private rights. The drainage must, of course, be carried on through rivers ; and as the richest and most fertile meadow lands lay very often oa the banks of rivers, it must, be seen how far such lands might be injured by the opera tion. There may be many other difficulties, but by per severance much might be done. To guard any infringe,. rnent of private rights was the great difficulty. If these things could be effected—if industry and improvement could be thus extended over large districts to which they were before strangers, he who operated such a change would deserve tvell of his country. The Right Hon. 13a ronet (Sir J. Newport) observed, in the course of his speech, that it was the duty of Government to pay some attention to the interests of Ireland. He admitted, in its ..... _ fullest extent, the justice of the claim ; nor hail the Right Hon. Baronet any occasion to press it. He had resided many years in Ireland, and knew too well not to feel, inde periently of all considerations of public ditty, a deep interest iu its welfare. It appeared to him from the reasons stated by his Honourable Friend, the Member fur Louth, that there would be greater difficulties in a general Inclosure Act than in a general Drainage Act. In the letter the interests of landlords and tenants seemed nearly the same. The advantage of pasture at present enjoyed by the tenant was very trifling, and the claims of the different parties might be adjusted without much difficulty. It would be easy, for a trifling sum, to bring abont a compro mise, and in many cases there might be no occasion for any composition. Independent of every other consideration, it would he most desirable to have the boundaries determined, and that could be more easily accomplished before lands were improved titan after. Nothing would tend more to facilitate afterwards a general Inclosure Bill than such a final settlement of boundaries. It would seem, by a wise provision of Nature, that particular species of manure best adapted to the improvement of bogs, was always found in their immediate neighbourhood. This circumstance was of importance in calculating the ultimate result of such an undertaking. Sir J. NEWPORT explained. Mr. H. GRATTAN supported the petition. The people of Ireland were suffering at this moment all the evils of poverty and disease. It was notorious that thou sands of them were starving and in rags. He was sur prised to hear the Member for Derry (Mr. Dawson) speak of the drainage of bogs as a visionary scheme. Mr. Haul. DAVIS put a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the object of which we could not hear. Mr. MOORE should not have attempted to say a word on this occasion, were it not that he had a similar petition to present. He fully concurred in the view taken of the subject by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. L. Foster). What had been said by his Hon. Friend below (Mr. Daw son) as to the increased prosperity of Ireland might be cor rect, but he feared the increase of population had far out run the increase of prosperity. He did not think there was in Europe a country which presented such a spec tacle of the miseries arising from an unemployed popu lation. Ile agreed that any immediate attempt at re lief by a direct application of the public money would be unwise ; but it might be of the greatest use to assist individual enterprise by small advances from the public purse. Much hail been already advanced to in dividuals on good security, for carrying on various opera tions. No advance, however, was yet made for the recla mation of waste lands. What he should propose was, that the Commissioners should be further empowered to ad vance money for this purpose. The great object of the House had to consider was, whether they would raise the labouring population of Ireland to the level of that of Eng land, or degrade the English to that of Ireland. Mr. O'I3RIEN supported the petition. After a few words from Mr. BILOWNI,O,A', who thanked his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Secretary Peel), for the en couragement held out by hien to the petitioners, the peti tion was read, and ordered to be printed. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Mr. R. GORDON presented a petition from upwards of 1,400 merchants, bankers, and inhabitants of the city of London, complaining of the present condition and manage .ment of Smithfield, and the places appropriated to the slaughtering of cattle. Th e Hon. Gentleman entered at some length into an examination of the present condition of Smithfield market, and observed that its present situa tion rendered it objectionable upon several grounds. The first was, the manner in which the cattle were driven, with Wows and execrations too horrible for description, through the streets of the metropolis, to the great danger of its in habitants. The second objection arose from the system of driving the cattle into London on a Sunday evening, and keeping them penned up, not only without food, for that was a matter of little consequence, but without water, and in the greatest torment, until a late hour on Monday. Ano ther objection to the present state of Smithfield was found ' in the confined nature of the ground allotted for the re ception of the cattle. Two days in every week there were collected in an area of little more than three acres, as many beasts,as amounted to 1 50,000, and as many sheep as ave raged 1,300,000 every year. Having said no much upon the subject of the sufferings of the animals, he would now say a word or two upon the disadvantage of the present system, in the way of profit. It was calculated that the actual loss sustained in the dimunition of food, from the blows and bruises of the drivers, amounted to 60 or 70,000/. ;mond-Iy. The present petitioners asked for no public measure to be adopted upon their suggestion. The peti tioners merely required what he thought could scarcely be refused then—an opportunity of proving before a Com mittee of the House, that the grievances stated in their pe tition actually existed to a greater extent even than they had represented them. They stated, however, that though they could establish that fact, they were willing, out of their own funds, to build markets at a proper distance from the rntropolis, and to construct slaughtering houses after the manner of the Abbattoirs lately erected in Paris. In those establishments every thing connected with the animal was turned into a matter of profit. The horns, the blood, and the bones, were preserved fur sale; while even from the offal, which constituted one of the greatest nuisance of the London slaughtering-houses, the managers of the Parisian Abbattoirs extracted a coarse kind of oil. He hoped the House would grant a Committee to inquire into the objects of the petition. Alderman THOMPSON, although constantly trans action business in the city of London had never, until that night, heard of the Hon. Gentleman's petition, which, he said, was signed by 1,400 persons. He could only say that the Corporation had done every thing in their power to improve Smithfield. The Worthy Alderman denied that cattle were brought to Smithfield on a Sunday evening and concluded by expressing an opinion that the House ought not to grant the Committee. Sir H. PARNELL expressed a hope that the applies. tion of the petitioners would prove successful. Mr. MARTIN had frequently seen thirty droves of cattle on a Sunday evening between. Lombard-street and Ludgate-hill. On Monday the streets in the vicinity of the market were actually almost blocked up with droves of sheep and cattle, while the carriages and carts *ere quite unable to make their way through them. A MEMBER, whose name we did not hear, thought the Hon. Member ought at once to bring in a Bill for the removal of Smithfield market. Mr. Secretary PEEL objected to the appointment of a Committee. The Right lion. Gentleman, however, thought the subject worth consideration, and hoped that if the nuisances actually existed, some remedy might be found without insuring the rights of individuals. It was a pity that Smithfield market could not be removed, but the rights of individuals ought not to. be taken away with out compensation. Mr. C. SMITH. expressed a great desire to know the names of the Bankers who had signed the petition. Mr. P. THOMPSON wished that the system should be assimilated to that of Paris. Mr. Sheriff SPOTTISWOODE stated that these mar kets were the property of the city of London, 'and any disposal of the property of others involved grave conside ration. He considered that the subject was one that s hould be left to private speculatiell. Mr. GORDON, on moving that the petition he printed, gave notice that, on Monday next, he would move that it be referred to a Committee, He bore testimony to the respectability of the signatures; Sir J. NEWPORT moved for a Return of the 07m pensations• given to Persons for dices which had ceas-eol to exist since the union. SAVINGS' BANKS. Mr. PALMER said, that it would be a great injustice to the House to state to them the importance of the subject to which he presumed, to call their attention. They were aware, that whilst on the one hand it embraced the inte rests of about half a million of that class of persons in this country peculiarly entitled to the protection of Parliament, it involved on the other hand the general public interests to the extent of about sixteen millions of its debt. In the state of the former, it must be quite obvious that the laws which affected them ought to be as clear and simple as possible. With this view, he proposed that the present laws, no less than s;x in number, and containing about 150 provisions, should be consolidated into one Act of about 40 clauses. With regard to the revenue, it was hie object to afford Parliament an opportunity of considering whether they were not making too great a sacrifice in paying an in come of 41. 1 ls. 3d. per cent. upon this large portion of the public debt, whilst the general fund and unfunded debt of the country bore so much lower an interest. After a few further observations, the Hcm. Member moved for leave to bring in a Bill to consol►date and amend the laws relating to Savings' Banks. Mr. CRIUPS seconded the motion, which was agreed to. PROPERTY OF LUNATICS, &c. Mr. SUGDEN obtained leave to bring in a Bill Mr amending the Laws relating to Property belonging to Infants, Lunatics, Idiots, and persons of unsound mind.— The Hon. and Learned Gentleman stated that it was his intention to extend this law to Ireland ; it was intended as part of a system of laws upon the subjects to which he had adverted on a former evening. BANK NOTES' (SCOTLAND) RESTRICTION BILL. ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. DAVENPORT commenced the adjourned debate, on the Amendment of an Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) for a Committee of Inquiry ou the Motion of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer for leave to bring in the Bank Notes' (Scotland) Restriction Bill. Great distress, it was admitted, prevailed, and want of employment was loudly complained of ; much of this present want of employ ment arose from the great spur some time ago given to manufacturing labour, which created an excess of goods, and which, therefore, occasioned want of employment until these goods were disposed of. It was not true that dis tress was created by any dearth of capital in the country, but there was one link wanting in the great chaln of na tional prosperity—and that link was credit. This want of credit chiefly affected the subordinate classes of society ; and muck of the evil which emanated from it would, in his opinion, be corrected by the small notes' circulation, which it was the object of the present Bill to supprese.— Another objection with him to this Bill was, the injustice of paying in a currency of higher value, debts and con tracts entered into in a depreciated currency. The Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had stated, that there was a currency in the country of the value of 65,000,0001. Ile did not know whether the Right Hon. Gentleman meant to convey that there was money to that amount in circulation. It might be that there were 22,000,000 of sovereigns coined—but it did not appear how many of these were melted down, how many exported, and how many of them found their way, as he believed many of them did fied their way, to the bottom of strong boxes, which were detained there, await ing an opportunity of being advantageously employed.— (Hear, hear, hear.)—An argument, ad captandum, had been made use of to depreciate •the advantages of Country Banks—namely, the insecurity that arose from their failure; but their failure was not of frequent ocearrence—the panic of 1825 was not, it was tube hoped, to be expected frequently. Besides, he denied that the lower orders suffered severely from those failures. He knew an instance which proved this. In his own neigh bourhood, a bank had failed for 40,000/., and he made in quiry as to the extent of suffering which that failure brought upon his neighbourhood, and the result of the in quiry was, that the poorer classes had sustained no mate rial injury from the failure ; the truth wae, that this class had seldom 20s. to spare from their wants. This bank afterwards paid ISs. in the pound. The Hon. Gentleman next adverted to the Act of 1819, usually called Mr. Peel's Act, which, acquitting the Right lion. Gentleman, as he sincerely did, of evil intention, had the effect of bringing more of suffering upon the country than any injurious Acts passed by any ten Ministers who ever sat in that House. Ad verting to the raising of the salaries of the Great Officers of State a few years age, ia consequence of the depreciation of the currency, the Hon. Gentleman observed, that when he had mentioned that subject last year in the House, the Right Hon. Member for Liverpool had asked him if he thought those officers were too well paid. Now that was not a good answer. His argument was, that as those sa laries had been augmented in consequence of the depreciat ed state of the currency, they ought to be decreased when that depreciation was at an end. In answer to the grounds laid by the Hon. Member for Carlisle for an in quiry, the justice of those grounds had not been denied, but it had been asserted that the inquiry would disturb the public mind. They were not to examine the expediency of revising the Banking System, or of introducing any im provement into it, for fear of disturbing the public mind ! It would seem as if there were some opposition between the public mind and the public interest. Stack-jobbing, and all the practices connected with it, might perhaps be disturbed by an investigation; but lie was at a loss to understand how any thing could be disturbed which it was desirable to preserve in a state of tranquillity.— The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer had argued this question on the ground of expediency; he (Mr. Davenport) was disposed to take it on a higher ground, and argue it on the ground of justice. He would oppose the proposed Bill as he should have opposed the Bill of 1826, on the ground of its being a direct infraction of the pledge given by Parliament to the country in 1822, to permit the continuance of the payment of the taxes in cheap money until HMS. The Right Hon. Gentleman did not propose the cessation of It. note. in. Scotland, fur five and forty good around reasons. He knew well, that if he were to bring a Bill in to that effect, and were to cross with it the Northern side of the Tweed, he would lie met with fixed bayonets, and that he and his Bill would soon be at the bottom of the river. —(A laugh.) He was happy to hear the effect which the quotation from Locke, upon this sub ject, mid the other evening by the Hon. Member for Car lisle, had made upon the House. He himself had read the self-same quotation last year—when; however, it produced nu impression. —(A laugh.) lie hoped that at its third reading the opinion which it oonveyed would be adopted by the House.—( A laugh, and cries of "Hear, hear.") Mr. DENISON felt himself bound to vote against the proposition of the Hon. :Member for Carlisle. As the re striction in 1797 had been alluded to, and as he was one of the few Members then in the House who had pat tici pated in the discussions on that measure, he hoped he should be excused if he said something now respecting it. When that measure was proposed the objection made to it was, that if an extensive ieeue of paper was carried into effect, it must necessarily depreciate the standard of our currency. That anticipation had been verified by the event. The standard had been silently and gradually de preciated. It had been in vain contended that all bad go vernments from the time of the French Committee of Public Safety to the reign of Louis the Fourteenth, mad up to the Roman Republic in the first Punic War, had adopted similar expedients. The measure had the sanctuon of a vast majority in the House and in the country. The re sult had been glorious to our arms, but fatal to our finances. Fur' the two and twenty succeeding years, a great depre ciation had gradually taken place. What would have been the proper course to take in 1814 ? To have altered the standard. Such a measure would have prevented the ruin of the farmer, the tradesman, and the artisan, or at least it would have diminished the pressure upon them. The cause of all the evils we had endured, and were still en during, was the:fatal policy of contracting a large debt in one description of currency, and trying to pay it in soother. His reason for opposing the Committee proposed by the three C°m mdeitetteer wHeorne. g M ra e u m te, be L r i f r or m Cz i l d iel eo e wm,eis,onthlyattoif one e ch o f a minatiems; first, that we should continue to go on as we were going on at present; secondly, that we should go back to a paper circulation ; thirdly, that we should alter the standard. It was impossible now to think of altering the standard. To go back to a paper circulation would be a e n hpa t a( lie )et be equally dangerous. We had struggled through our dif ficulties, and had almost got to the last of them. It was proved that at most there were not three millions of small notes at present in circulation. Now really he could not think that the gradual withdrawing of those notes from circulation—for it must be recollected that no Act of Para liament prevented those notes from passing while they re mained out, and therefore that three or four years might elapse before they were wholly withdrawn--could be pro ductive of any alarming consequences. If, however, a fresh paper currency were issued, what must be the inevi table consequence ? To raise prices, and to drive all the gold out country. es e t f roi t fc h tfi e oornei;gnvv,lev asr or uel recourse u t hr h sea a N t . emcee::: g panic, arising either from civil commotion or from the B ap prehensionank R tion, not founded on a gold currency; and should have again to undergo the evils through which we had at present nearly struggled. The disposition of the country banks to issue small notes had keen greatly exaggerated. He was acquainted with several country bankers in the North of England, and he knew that they considered it dangerous to issue 11. notes to any great extent ; because, in the event of a panic, such an issue compelled them to sell out of the funds at any sacrifice, to support their credit. He was persuaded that the only course to be adopted was to perse vere in our present system. Me was perfectly aware that there still existed considerable distress ; but he was per suaded that the only way in which that distress could be alleviated was, for the Right Hon. Gentleman to take r every possible means of diminishing the public burdebnLT: • e c a r i n Y r o c fi t u h l : e another (Hear, hear.)—They ought to cut down all our est d a - nava l, a nd Inlll anent of the public service, civil, went', from the highest to the lowest, i n e very' ..t epart (Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. LESLIE FOSTER asked what it was they were called upon to do ? To find two millions and a half of gold circulation. He denied that they were called u p on to contract the currency. whatever might be the p resent amount of circulating me dium, be it sixty-five fl ;lions or more, all that was req uisite was in particular districts to goldfind, circulation , aided by notes of •a. higher value. We already 110 , .t.s.ied a gold circul a ti on c ar t wo an d t wen ty millions. Notwithstanding the artificial mystery. quantity y r- t f e laswll notes to be withdraw n , a coin: ensatiog which of late years had been thrown over ti c subject, there were data to prore . tbat such was the fact. This mystery had originated only since February, 1826. Be fore that period, we knew accurately bow roach gold was coined in the country, and how much was exported. •If the House would take ti:e trouble to refer to the statements of Lord Liverpool, and of the Noble Lord who was at that time Chancellor of the Exchequer, they would find that . up to the period be had mentioned, the new gold which had been coined and issued amounted to 25 millions. Of that amount it was calculated that seven millions had been exported, leaving a balance of eighteen millions. It ap peared, however, by the Custom-house accounts, that one million of the gold so exported had returned, making the amount nineteen millions. From that sum the only deductions were, the money carried in the pocket , of the persons who visited the Continent, and the money employed in smuggling. On the amount of those deductions the Noble Lord and the Right Hotl• Gent. had differed ; the one estimating them at one mil lion, the other at two millions ; 90 that, according to once the gold circulation at that period was seventeen millions; according to the other, eighteen. Now, although no ac counts bud been since laid before the House of the quantity of gold coined in the country, yet a very tolerable estimate of that quantity could he formed by the persons who were connected with the bullion trade. It was well known, that in consequence of the favourable rate of exchange which the contraction of our circulation had produced, att immense importation of gold bullion had taken place in the early part of 1826. The Mint was incee antly occupied j m coining throughout that year; and the amount thus coined he understood was five millions. If that was trait —and there were Hon. Gentlemen present, connected with the Bank of England, who could correct him if in reror--', that five millions, added to the seventeen trillions erifave according to the lowest calculation, had been stated on off cial authority to be the amount in circulation in Februarys 1826, made the very sum of 22,000,0001 which the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer had declared, the other evening, was the amount of our present gold circula tion. He wished now to say ix few words with respect- 0 the a crificus and trials which the country had already gene through on this subject. They were of two descriptions, anal ought not to be confounded. The first were the natural consequences of that contraction of our cnrrency which veal the inevitable result of the first operation of changing a' paper for a gold circulation. This was one of the severeet: trials which the public or which private . individuals conhl . possibly have had ; and it was enhanced by the reluctance with which many persons surrendered their gold after bay ing received it. But there was another difficulty in the euh stitution of a gold for a paper circulation, which he adroit tel was in kind common to 1819 and to the present timefewith this difference, that it was at present only 9-10ths in degree- That difficulty was the expence of finding the gold circu lation. When we returned from a paper to a gold circu lation, we must necessarily be at the expence of purchas ing again the gold of which we had got rid in the first in stancta Whatever temporary benefit was obtained by the cheapness of the paper circulation, was of course lot- on returning to a gold coinage. Fur every pound of such coinage, so repossessed, we must actually part with an equivalent amount of exports, without ana ., re turn. It was the price which we were compelled tj° l pay for the privilege of employing gold in our cir culation instead of paper. lie contemplated not ooh' the convertibility but the actual conversion of the' paper into a metallic currency. This would nut de pend so much upon any amount of treasure as upon the habitual consumption of the country. When Hon. Gee tleinen talked of this one-pound note circulation being stimulus and facility to commerce, they should recoller" how small a portion of those engaged in commerce or rne - ,_ n ufacturing pursuits hail had recourse to them. Th ee small paper was not found in London, Liverpool, MO cheater, nor in any part of Lancashire, the heart of th e ' manufacturing districts, and therefore the aid which it ' offered to manufacturers or commerce could be but Moe aiderable. Me Was sensible that of the circulating mediaL ti of 65,000,000/., 31,000,000/. was in paper ; but if t ue . proportion was to be destroyed, where was the line of safe.bo be drawn? They could not have a paper and ag° circulation exist at the same place. Lancashire must eitil give a lesson to Northumberland, or follow her example a paper currency. But there was no general safety but iu the total extirpation of the first, which -might othernie c take possession of the soil which was'at prtsent free fo r? its encroachment. He did not think, because this circula tion was stopped in England, that it ought to be stop Pea in either Ireland or Scotland. He did not know the ea t amount of the one pound notes in circulation in Irelarid' but this he knew, that the yroportion was prodigiously greater than in England. It was not proper to call ups Ireland to make so much greater a sacrifice than Eogland. This observation also applied to Scotland. It was not f quired to make a new law by the present measure, but only to give full operation to a system which had already . been adopted. Sir J. WROTTESLEY was at a loss to know on what grounds the Hon. Member could pronounce a measure so beneficial to England, and then argue that it ought not to be extended to Ireland and Scotland. He might be a goo ll authority upon the affairs of Ireland, but he took too tacit upon himself when he pretended to pronounce the time at which the notes might, with propriety, be withdrawn feel s u S n e d o e tlnd r a the. impression nes ( si S o i n r th J a . t I t ir h r e o e t t o es n i t e i y a ) s u an h et eu o l f d t g h ive eu his . in v ci ot r e: culation, for au indefinite period, was reore injurious theo leaving the question undecided. He could state, on tn e part of Bank, that nothing would give them greater ra in than a recurrence to a circulation of one pound notes: more especially now that the public securities were a t 3 " particularly low a price. The same feeling existed is four-- fifths of the English counties ; and so far from having arg wish to issue one pound notes, that at the two meetings upon the subject, the point was not even allowed to be d - cussed. The Master of the Mint would do him the ja 6ti r to say, that as the organ of those meetings he was adverse ', f the circulation of such notes, and he had only felt lainases bound in duty as Lhe Representative of a manufacturing lirf terest to advocate in Parliament a contrary tneaeure. , the one pound notes were to be withdrawn from- erircr whic h it he must confess that a time never did exist at it could be done with so much propriety as the prod"' He thought that if the country hankers were to be re strained from circulating notes under five pounds in the Bank of England ought to be prevented circulating aPJ smaller than ten pounds. The Right Hon. Gentleman 'or polite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) has stated tblAat the total circulating medium of the kingdom amounted tl t i sixty-five millions; but in making this estimate he 1 ° omitted the circulation of all bills of exchange, notes' hand, and promisory notes of every description, which fte' tered so largely into the circulation and formed so consider; able a part of it. The se Bill s o f E xc h ange an d C oun trarli a % Notes could not amount to heathen 1 tel millions. To this rarl' et . he added all hills in the possession of the Bank of Englan d : Bankers, and of Bill-holders ; and there was scarcely a trade r ' man or manuf ac t urer w h o h a d an y l arge d ea li ng s that not a greater or less proportion of this paper in circulati4f; —He was almost afraid to estimate the amount ; hut, he would state it for the sake of argument, at thirty-five• lions. This would make the whole circulating medium of td' s kingdom amount to exactly one hundred millions. Taio' this as the fact, he would ask, at what the Right 1 1 e $ ,. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) bad est L ' mated the amount of the 11. notes? He had taken tbe gross amount at 2?y millions, in England, and had ,g what inconvenience the country would feel in withdraw' so small a sum from the general circulation? With der, rence to the Right Hon. Gentleman, the argument lay t other way; and he (Sir J. Wrottesley) would ask what ii i r, convenience could poseibly arise from allowing so eroew. sum as two millions and a half to remain in a genera l c ir culating medium amounting to not less than one h wasuadrfri Liverpool millions `.? llenteo-at in his was sorry place, uponßightthatthea question Hon. M o erri n b : r,,;e ;e: as upon all analogous qaestions, he was so intimately quainted. He totally denied the argument that if the Ft' sent measure were not carried, unlimited issues of palo r small notes might take place. He thought they who tear gined that a rise of prices or an increase of the business the country would require an additional quantity of ir t io were right- If the ports of the world should agal l) , thrown open to our trade, as they once had been, the pit sen t circulation of our country would not be seffieitOt the its business, and such an occasion alone would justifY4 e c i rc umstance of an i ncrease o f-th e c i rcu l a ti on "by'' he means of an issue of notes. The security t 0 e, afforded by the bankers, in the event of such an was a matter of importance. Some years ago, When L ., Bank of E ng l an d was not able•to pay its notes in sP ec o r ► the country bankers had been asked to give seentitY lo t their i ssues, an d t h ey h a d re f use d to d o so , o b ser ving they would furnish security when the Bank was prel o 3 j to pay in specie. Their situation was different now qv 'if notes should again come into circulation they Wo jlLL et e provided to afford the best security. Let them, ho wev to do what they might, it would he but an act of inlti 6e to allow the country bankers to state the eireumstances.,, which they had been reduced in consequence of the aor 3 t drawing of the one pound notes. He would, upon point, state one or two facts with regard to the state of large districts where the working of iron and coal ta, 1 7,, e kept an immense body of men in employment. In at'? places scarcely any labourer ever received his wages i$ to r ney. They were paid i n goods ; and so rigidly was tAi, system pursued, that if a man wanted money for any ne r h io cular purpose—such, for instance, as thac of .p Ting l t o rent—he was obliged to take his wages in goods, ad eh-p ose the /n et of the of out &he cur found • 'natter-1 that atuot stt sir ' tulation dE ale r et so - was de r wow ° " ged i d t 4, s p oe , evil p "'nye mon of tit,.
