Though there can be no'question that the Learned Judge's conduct has been highly indiscreet—to give it no harsher name —.and', demands investigation, still, as the legislative Parliament has already passed a deli berative opinion on it, and the object of its marked comments is so far enfeebled by age and infirmities (Baron SMITH, we believe, is up wards of eighty) that any further ebullitions of political zeal can scarcely be looked for from him, it were harsh to throw a gloom over the few years that yet remain to him of existence. A Parliamentary inquiry could not fail to have this effect. We are not sorry, therefore, to find that there is a likelihood of its being dropped. Enough, has been done, by way of warning, not only to the : Learned Baron himself, but to all other Judges who may at any time be tempted to suffer party zeal to get the better of judicial discretion. It is now, we understand, decided that Sir WILLi.QM HORNE will be the new Baron, and that Mr. PEPYS will be promoted to the Solici tor-Generalship. This will occasion. another election in the borough of Marylebone. Per haps: the reduction of the House Duty will sOlten . the Anti- Ministerial feeling evinced on the last occasion. The Paris papers of Sunday are chiefly filled With a long report of a trial, in which figure the wife of a Spanish banker resident in Paris, her paramour, and a journeyman locksmith, . who recommended himself to the attention of the lovers by making a false key, which unlocked the banker's strong box, and_ thereby enabled the guilty parties to make free' with its contents. The news from Spain is unimportant. The Duke of SAN FERNANDO had finished his ,earthly career ; and many changes were about to take place in the command of several divi sions of the army. The decree for the convo- , Cation of the Cortes was to have been,issued on the 15th instant (Saturday last) for the Ist of April next. This is rather a prolongation of the time originallTproposed: The French Chamber . of Peers . passed the law relative to the hawkeOs of newspapers. A petition, respecting the Cortes Bonds, presented to the Peers on Saturday last, was referred to the Minister for Foreign affairs. Let us hope that the French Government will do justice in this flagrant instance of national dishonour and breach of public faith. The Committee, to whom the Army Esti mates had - keen referred, propose a reduction of the army to 290,000. We do not know whether Marshal SOULT pill accede to this, but it evidently betokens a belief in the con tinuance of peace. We beg to call the attention of Mr. POULETT THON'ISON to a very sensible letter addressed to him by 4 , A Manufacturer" of Manchester, re specting the Factory Bill. Brussels papers of the 16th -inst. only con tain some observations on the disposition mani fested by the Government to promote the manufacture of silk in Belgium. Rumours of a change or modification in the Ministry were cireulattiti ;and the departure of General Go- BLET for Berlin contradicted. German Papers of the 12th instant state that the proceedings of the Great German Congress were going on very slowly. There seemed an evident disinclination among several of the members to meet in deliberation. We are not sorry for this, as it betrays a natural suspicion of each others motives.

The Irish have been charged with a in de o!' reasoning and ar riving at conclusicus *w a way peculiar to them 'selves ; 'anal here eve`i k4au iat instalicellin which the charge yvac vvell-founded, it occurred last night. The fist Lord of the Admiralty and his colleagues have, within the last three years, reduced the estimates - in their department 1,4001000/., and that out of -a sum not exceed ing ( 6,000,0901. ' l / 4 This has been admitted by all partieS—even by Mi. CROKER—so spilled in -logic, and ! so experienced in 'details ; and for, these services Mr. ItuniviN moved that Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S salary be redueed' . 5001., and two of hiS .-eoadjutors cashiered I. . Mr. COBBETT finished the climax by threatening to divide the Committee on the grant of 847,3601. — t0 half: pay officers of the Navy and , Marines: Looking at the hard ships these men have endured, and the service! they have rendered tbeir country, is there one individual, not blinded by prejudice,. not de prived. of .a : sense of Common'' juitice7by party spirit, that can say the reward surpasses the merit ? No JOurnal has more uniformly sup ported the Hon. Member for Middle Sex, in reducing public expenditure, than this, but there are two measures which we will ever oppose—any diminution in the efficiency of the; British navy, or any attempt to lessen the re- , • wards, and consequently impair the services, of those brave men who, in the hour of danger, have been the most forward in sustaining the honour, and protecting the dearest interests of their country. It is almost- unnecessary to add, that the whole of the Estimates were voted. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, we see, has given notice of a motion to " discharge the order of the 13th, for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Baron SMITH."' Perhaps, all things considered' IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, TUESDAY, FEB. 18. • ,H-OUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair about ten minutes past twelve o'clock. Mr. HODGSON brought up the report of the Committee on the Newcastle Subscription Waterworks Company. The Corn. mittee reported that the Standing Orders were complied with, and leave wai given to bring in the Bill. Mr. BETHELL presented a petition from a parish in York shire, praying for leave to open a market-place.—Ordered to lie on thitable. • Mr. PHILLPOTTS presented a petition from the Gloucester i Gas Light Company, for leave to light that town with gas. The Hon. Member also presented another petition to the same effect from another parish in Gloucestershire. Sir R. FERGUSON presented a petition from the inhabi tants of a parish in the county of Fife, praying for leave to bring in a Cemetery Bill. The same HON. MEMBER moved, that the Cardiff Ship Canal Bill be read a first time. The Bill was read a first time accordingly. Lord MORPETH brought up the report of the Committee on the Calder and Keppel Navigation petition, and obtained leave to bring in a Bill founded thereon. THE REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented a petition from the inhabi tants of the town of Cove, in the county of Cork, for the repeal of the legiilative union ; and, in 'doing so, he was almost in clined to agree with the HOn. Member for Kent, that they shOuld have very little hopefrom the presentation of all these • petitions, when they were obliged to go on presenting them day after day without any of his Majesty's Ministers being present, who had stated that they would resist this question to the death. He was almost at a loss to know what course he should pursue, more especially at a time when the cry for the repeal of the Union was become so prevalent. The petition which he held in his hand was from the town of Cove, and he conceived that they had a good right to complain of the Union, for their town had been formerly flourishing and piosperous, and now it had been deprived of all its re souices, for the little that had been left had lately been taken from them.' The Hon. Member opposite had chastised him (Mr. O'Connor) for being so intemperate, and recom mended him not to abuse his Majesty's Ministers.—(Hear, hear.) • But it was almost impossible that he could pass over their conduct towards his country. What had they done for Ireland that Irishmen should not expect some. thing from a domestic Legislature ? What measure had bein passed in the reformed Parliament to which they could refer— what measure of grace, or what measure of justice had been passed for the relief of the Irish people ? (Lord Althorp here entered the House.) He (Mr. O'Connor) was happy to see the Noble Lord in his place—(Hear, and a laugh)—as he should now take leave of the accusation of speaking harshly of Ministers in their absence, and he would say in the presence of that Noble Lord that no Ministry had done more to destroy the confidence existing between Catholics and Protestants, than that Ministry of which he formed a part. It had been his intention to count the House out, but the novelty of seeing the Noble Lord in his place, whom he considered eqUivalent to forty, prevented his doing so now.—(Hear, and a laugh.) It had been said that they looked for other measures besides the repeal of the union, but he begged to assure the House that the Irish Members had no such intention. One of the greatest checks upon the con duct of Members of that House was to be obliged to return to their constituents, but what availed it for the 105 Irish Repeaters to come down to that House, when there was no disposition to accede to any proposition, be it ever so good—(Hear, hear, hear)—that emanated from his side of the House. He had been told that the Irish Mem. bers had lately enjoyed some triumph, because it had been from their general character for intelligence, must know that the repeal of the Union would greatly impoverish that country by preventing the sale of the produce of the land. There was one class of persons in this country who suffered severely from the connection of this country with Ireland—he meant the English -farmers. No one suffered from this. snore than him-• self, is he" believed 'that if the Prodjibe of' Ireland were not imported into this countrY;liis land would be worth a third more than it was at present: fie, however, was perfectly con-, tent to suffer 'this diminution of his property, but he foated it would be an argument of the lion: Member for Dublin to the farmers and people of England, that the importation of Irish produce materially affected their interests;. and this ,he felt was an argument with which it would be difficult to deal. Mr. C. O'D:WYER said he was surprised to hear, stny,wblic functionary of A Ireland accused of too much civility.—(]fear, hear, and *tm:o For his own part he 'was bound to, say that the SeCretary for Ireland, as far as he (Mr. O'D.) could understand the opinion of the people,' had given universal satisfaction.—(Hear, hear.) That Right lion. Gentleman had unfortunately fallen into collisions, for which, considering that he had not originated them, he ought scarcely to be held ,re sponsible to the full extent. His general administ ration, how ever, had entitled him to the approbation of those who differed from the Government upon most occasions. He Mr. O'D.) rose to assure the Honourable Member for Mayo, who had described the scheme of repeal as visionary and delusive, that he himself laboured under a strange delusion. He might rest assured that the sentiments in favour 'of repeal pervaded the entire country, and influenced the whole Of the democracy, and a considerable portion of the higher orders.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Hear." The fact was capable of demonstration, but he had only risen toprevent the Hon. Member from adding to the delusion that was practised on the Government. The Hon. Member for Mayo had made use of language. ,which was not justified, considering that he was the represenative of an essentially Roman . Catholic constituency. He stated that pe titions to this House originated from a system of terror and priestcraft. Now he (Mr. O'Dwyer) would put the question, whether such language ought to have been used by an Irish Member, who was indebted for his return to a Catholic com munity ? As to terror, it was absurd to suppose such a thing; for how could it be supposed that in such a county as Mayo any man could be compelled to sign petitions against his will ? He had never heard of any opposition to repeal ; on the contrary, the desire in Ireland was general amongst the lower classes to come forward and give their attestation in favour of this mea sure. The Noble Lord opposite (Althorn) might rest assured that there was a universal desire in Ireland in favour of this measure. He was afraid he was speaking with temerity, and he felt that he might be misunderstood, when he stated that the question of repeal might even now be arrested by proper and sincere expressions of the desire of this House to do full justice to Ireland.—(Cries of" No, no," and cheers.) If they could convince the people of Ireland, but he did not think they could, that this House could legislate as beneficially for Ireland as an Irish Parliament, he had no doubt that a de sire for the repeal of the union would not continue—that the struggles for it would cease, and that the mere abstraction would not induce the people of Ireland to continue in a state of agitation.—(Cheers.) This was a Reformed Parliament —they had been taught to look up to it for good measures, but they had done nothing for Ireland—their only measure was one of oppression and injustice, which, more than any thing else, had confirmed those repealers that were wavering, and had in fact created throughout the country a general feeling in favour of repeal. He thought repeal inevitable; but at the same time, if there was a locus penitentier, if there was any possible way to stop the question of Tepee], it was only by doing full, fair, and impartial justice to the people of Ireland. Mr. J. BROWNE, in answer to the statement of the Hon. Member who had just sat down, begged to say, that in using the word priestcraft he did not intend to give the slightest offence; he only meant to say that he was afraid the lower classes of Ireland were a good deal swayed by the priests. ' Sir A. AGNEW would venture to say,from what he knew of the people Of Ireland, that the general feeling in the breast of those who were originally opposed to the repeal of the union, was favourable to it at the present moment. Mr. H. GRATTAN deprecated the course pursued by Mi nisters, who had in terms called all those who were fa vourable to the repeal disloyal subjects.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Measures had been promised for the amelioration of the condition of Ireland,' lint as yet none had been brought for ward. It was impossible that the people could be in a worse condition than they were in some parts of Ireland. Some. thing, therefore, must be done to better their condition.— (Hear.) Such was the state of Ireland that he (Mr. Grattan) thought it would be necessary to bring a motion before the agreed to that Baron Smith should pay a visit to this country. The House had been told that the repeal of the union was to be resisted even to the death, and that his Majesty's Ministers were determined not to pass a law for the dissolution of that union. What then became of the right of petition—that in. estimable right of Englishmen, and Irishmen too ? He would tell the House and the Noble Lord opposite that even with the threat of resistance to the death before him, the measure would most surely pass, or lead to the total separation of the two countries. He had lately attended nearly twenty public meetings, at some of which there were more than 40,000 per sons present, and all unanimous in asking for the repeal of the Union. The people knew that they had lost their retail market at home, and that they were compelled to send their produce over to this country by wholesale, where it was sold by retail at four times the price it fetched in Ireland. It had been said that a family could live cheaper in Ireland than in England, but he found, as an individual, he could live much cheaper here than in Ireland. This was a matter which the farmers perfectly understood as well as the Noble Lord, who, no doubt, knew that if a pound of steaks were wanted he must buy a whole ox—(Laughter)--if a pound of butter was wanted, he must . _ buy a firkin. He assured the House the farmers in the county which he represented (Cork) perfectly understood all the bear ings of this question. Hon. Gentlemen were too much in the habit of thinking that Ireland was governed by some established and unchangeable law, but it was no such thing, but by the will of the Lord Lieutenant; and he was astonished to.hear the cheers with which the statements of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland were received: he was, in fact, literally struck dumb. He was afraid to reply or make a single complaint, for that Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to have gained the hearts of the Hon. Members of that House without doing a single act of good for Ireland. One, he supposed, had got a sop, and encl., -tiler a something beneficial to himself, and so on until all the friends of Ireland were won over, and she had at• last become a mere province, He was really at a loss to conceive or ex plain in any other way by ghat winning ways thlii had been done.—(Hear, hear, from the Ministerial side.) The peti tioners were perfectly alive to the situation in which they were placed by the Union, ' and their language was, that the Legislative Union had not produced them those advantages which the advocates of that measure promised would result from it." No, nor had any of those promises been car ried into effect by his Majesty's Ministers. The Coercion Bill was merely introduced to receive the support of the gentlemen on that side of the House, in order to prepare Ireland for healing measures.—(Hear.) What was the first act of the Government ? They allowed those who had not received tithes for many years, and among them the Duke of Devon. shire, to come in and exact them. That noble lay-propriator and English Duke, came into his (Mr. O'F.'s) parish, and claimed 2,000/. from a papperized population, not because he wanted the money, but because Government had given him the opportunity.—(Hear, hear.) He might be told that the Noble Duke was not a Minister, but he was a member of, the Royal Household. He would not, however, further tres pass on the House, but conclude by asking the opposers of the repeal of the Union what single act had Ireland a right to thank them for since the passing of the Coercion Bill ?—(Hear.) Mr. J. BROWNE did not wish to enter into all the merits of the speech of the Hon. Member who had just addressed the House, but he wished to convey to the House the real senti ments of the peoPle upon the question.—(Hear.) He had rea son to believe that they were acted upon by individual influence and priestcraft, and that half the petitions would never have found their way to that House but for such influence. —(Hear, hear.) If the real and true sentiments of the people were known, they would be found to be heartily and sincerely attached to England in every possible way.—(Hear, hear, from the Irish Members.) They had been deluded by the declara tions of individuals of great ignorance, and by a latent power in that country, to make them think that England was their bitter enemy.—(Hear, from the Irish Members.) He would pledge himself to the House that half the petitions flowed from this source, but he would say nothing of the man ner in which they were got up, not wishing to be offensive; but in respect to the county he represented (Mayo) he knew that they were the fruit of a system of terror, and an influence totally unconstitutional. Those petitions were not the constitutional voice of the people, nor was the question one raised by the people, but by the Hon. Member for Dublin. — (Cries of 0 No, no," from the Irish Members.) He repeated, that it was the decree of the Hon. Member for Dublin, but he was thankful that the time was approaching when the question would be calmly discussed and set at rest, and he was sure the Very advocates of repeal would then admit their error. He did not wish to say any thing offensive, but he felt it his posi tive duty to state to the House, decidedly and unequivocally, and without fear, the exact and true state of the feelings of the people of Ireland upon this question.—(Hear.) Mr. FINN begged to say, that the motives for getting up so many petitions in favour of the repeal of the Union, were not founded in terror—they came from different principles. Nei ther delusion nor terror operated on the minds of the people in Ireland. Perhaps the Hon. Member for Mayo might be dis pleased to find that petitions from that county were intrusted to him (Mr. Finn), and in that sense they are unconstitu tional. But it was not wonderful that when the Hon. Member differed from his constituents on such a question, they do not in trust him with their petitions. They knew well he differed from them, tot,' aria, and of course they preferred a stranger to bring their wishes before thp House. It was an error to soppose that the question of the repeal of the union was one of the Member for Dublin's. No, it was the question of the people, and when Mr. O'Connell was supposed to hesitate oil bringing it forward, the national will propelled him. No doubt could be entertains, that if to-morrow that Hon. Gentleman wished to set the question et rest, his popularity would not lest one hour. —(Cheers from the Irish Members.) What did this prove ? Why, that it was impressed on the hearts and understandings of the people, because they felt convinced it was the only mea sure which could administer a remedy to their wants. There were many of the people in Ireland old enough to recol lect the condition of the country before the Union ; and when they contrasted it with the present state of things, they found that the only benefit that Union did the country was to increase taxes, and establish despotism; so much so, that scarcely a single constitutional privilege was left them. In England no prose cutions were entered into against those who got up the agita tion of any public question, but in Ireland it was not so ; he (Mr. Finn) was too cautious when solicited to attend anti-tithe meetings to do so, for hepretty well knew what the consequence would be. Such a deprivation ofprivileges in Ireland was enough to convince the people that a repeal of the union was the essential measure for restoring constitutional rights, and, therefore, they would persevereuntil they obtain it. The union was effected by corruption and could not last. There was no attraction in Ire land for men of capital and opulence to reside in it ; it was all in England, and therefore Irish property was transferred here. In the County of Kilkenny the rental property was estimated at 400,0001. per annum, and 200,0004 of that was given to absentees. Sir H. VERNEY said lie was sure that the people of Ireland, House for an address to his Majesty, calling upon him to re quest.his Irish subjects to return to that country, and discharge their duties there, as the best and only means of providing for its security. He thought that Ireland could not be governed without an aristocracy; but of this he was certain, that she could never be governed by a system of abuse. Mr. FRYME quite agreed with the observations which had fallen from the Hon. Member who had just sat down, relative . to the expectations of the people not having been realized. When the present administration had come in, one great mea sure had absorbed all their attention, and as soon as that mea. sure was passed, and that the Parliament had met, they found Ireland in a state of agitation from one end to the other, so that it was not safe for the resident gentry to reside there. Under these piromstances what could they do, but ,pre,ss that coercive measure for which, he must say, he (Mr. Pryme) was a reluctant voter. Many other Hon. Members of that House, who had been criglnally averse to that measure; had beep reluctantly converted, to it from a consideration of the unfortunate position in which that country was placed. What Irdand required, in the first place, to insure her tranquillity, was a resident gentry; and, what was still more important, manufacturers, who Ilvould give employment to her lakourers, "ant contribute lo establish that retaillrane, sshich the Hon. Member opposite had asserted was almost extinct.— (Hear, hear, hear.) Were not the exports of that country manifold times greater than they were previous to the union ? and if the Hon. and Learned Member succeeded in getting the union repealed, what would the consequence be ? They would have a legislature sitting in that House and in Dublin, and they would have the English people looking for protection from the Irish landed proprietors, who would be continually imposing additional duties upon the butter, the cattle, the corn, and every thing exported from Ireland. That the union had been accom plished by fraud; by violence, and by corruption, he was not disposed tq dcny.—(Hgar.) 'But the question now was, would it be expedient to repeal it ? The union Scotland had also been effected by means that were not very creditable—but in Scotland they had had peace and industry since the passing of theunion ; and he would ask, was there a single Member of that House, or any rationalman outside the House, who would say that the union with Scotland should be repealed ?—(Hear, hear.) It would perhaps be exceedingly beneficial to two or three large towns if separate legislatures were established. York might be ben efitted, and he would say the same of Norwich, and in fact they might revert to the Saxon Heptarchy, but it would be only in so much as the expenditure of the Nobility and Gentry would iunonnt to, The Hon, Member concluded by expressing his conviction that the repeal of the Union would be a most impolitic and unwise measure. Lord ALVANLEY trusted that when the question was brought before the House it would be discussed completely and satisfactorily. He would ask the Honourable Member (Mr. O'Connor) how had these petitions been got up ? Were they not procured by a system of in, timidation ? H4d not associations been formed for the purpose of obtaining signatures —was not the country agitated from one end to the other ?—(Hear, hear.) He would merely ask the Hon. Member to state under what circumstances these petitions had been got up. Mr. F, O'CONNOR begged to assure the Noble Lord that he was not aware of any system of intimidation or terror fur ther than this, that Catholic tenants had been ejected from their farms by Protestant landlords for attending repeal meetings. He had never heard of any associations having been formed for such a purpose, nor did he believe that any such existed. One word with regard to what had fallen from the Hon. and Learned Member for Drogheda, who had taken upon himself the office of apologist for the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland. He wished the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had told them what the Right Hon. Secretary had actually done for that coun try. Ireland was so eircnmstan! . ..ed, that let a reformed parlia ment give the wisest and best institutions that could be devised for the government of a country, and the moment they were sent over, the furious aristocracy there would pervert and turn them to their own purposes, and according to the whim of a faction. The Hon, Baronet behind him had reminded him , (Mr. O'C.) of the story of Rip Van Wrinkle, who had slept for forty years.— (Hear.) He stated what the circumstances of Ireland were when he was last there, but if the Hon. Baronet went now to Ireland he would find that he had been asleep for the last forty years, and that his reception would be a very dif. ferent one. It had been alleged that the exports of Iveland • had increased, but it was because the consumption • iaad been diminished, and it was no sign of the prosperity of a estffitry that it exported all its food while the people were starving at home.—(Hear.) He should not have said so much but for the question put to him by the Noble Lord, and he could assure him that he knew of no associations existing in Ireland for the purpose of making the people repealers. After a few words from Sir A. AGNEW, the purport of which we could not catch, Mr. O'CONNELL said that the question of repeal was every day gaining ground in Ireland. He would give two in. stances that had lately taken place. In Armagh no candidate could offer himself but a repealer. Mr. Dobbin, the present Member, was not a repealer, and he had seen a requisition ad dressed to him, calling him to resign his seat, signed by 1,500 persons, 400 of whom were constituents of the town, and a public dinner had taken place there, to celebrate the altera tion in public feeling that had taken place on this question in the north of Ireland. The Irish Catholic bishops seldom inter fered in political matters, but he had seen a letter from a very estimable prelate, who had been lately parish priest of Athlone, and was now bishop of Galway. A public meeting in favour of repeal was about to take place in the latter town, and being unable to attend, the Right Reverend Prelate had addressed a letter to the meeting, stating, that if the opinions of the people were put down in that manner, they might as well petition for the Algerine Government He esEaired the Noble Lord that there wa s no o r of intimidation resorted to by the Repealers.—(Lord Alvanley asked was there not agitation ?) There must of course be agitation, (Lord Alvanley—Were there not associations ?) There were no associations, for the moment an association existed, the Lord LicAttenant wqs enabled by the powers granted him by the Coercion Bill to put them down. There ;.was one association which he had not put down, the Conserva. I tive Association, but he believed it was because they ban de sisted from their sittings. The present agitation had been attributed to an individual. He would not hesitate to say that individual was himself, but he could assure Hon. Members that such was not the fact. Five-sixths of two or three counties had met and petitioned the Legislature for the repeal of the Union, whist he lead been in retirement in the moun tains of Kerry. The Irish people, in a body, were becoming slowly and dispassfonatc7,y Repeaters, and in almost any county that could bie'seleeteff, tre - wer4 3t)q liepalers for one wlioo was of a different politica 1 4 apinion. Many of those who oPposed Repeal did so, fearing dangerous struggle might ensue, for he (Mr. O'C.) had never met an individual' opposed to It who did not 'admit 'that it Would be a good thingif it could be obtained without a convulsion, The Coercion Bill hail made More converts :to : , the Question than almost any other thing that; had occutred.—(Cies of " Hear, hear.") The. King's speech , had also converted many, but after all it was in that House the qUestiOn must be ultimately dis cussed, and he'clid not think it should be taken day after day by instahnentS.—(Lotid Cries of hear, hear.) his part he would give full credit for in the spet self he intended to make upon the introduction of that question, and ... sted w s and ide h o d se el i a b o e d r a ttihoen other rh when fa a a q s, ue t s h t a i t o.7 the r y . : of e Any instalments on, the period did arrive it would be discussed with gooL temPe : s respectingimportant quired. He hoped if there was any difference between would discuss the matter, calmly, and not make assertions of commercial prosperity on the one hand, or commercial distress on the other, to no purpose. After some further observations the Hon. and Learned Member concluded by apologizing for trespassing so long upon the attention of the House, and in vited them to discuss the question fully, at their earliest con= venience. Mr. O'CONNELL, after sitting down, rose again, and begged to add one word about the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland. His having been in Ireland so long, and escaping odium, was in itself a proof of his being entitled to some merit, for rarely did his predecessors escape so. Neutrality was, in his (Mr. O'Connell's) mind, the most desirable qualification for an Irish Secretary. Mr. O'CONNOR begged to say, relative to the remarks of the Honourable Member for Dublin, that on his ( Ur. O'Connor's) knowledge he could say the Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland was not entitled to praise. The papers which he (Mr. O'Connor) moved for in this House would of themselves show five distinct circumstances that disentitled him to any encomium. Negative qualities are not enough. He (Mr. O'C.) required affirmative ones. Doing nothing was not enough. Lord ALTHORP could bear testimony to the courteous manners and kind feelings for which the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland was peculiarly distinguished. He knew him •for a long time, and part of that time intimately, and he could say, that it did not surprise him that the Right Hon. Gentleman had gained the popularity he had, for he knew of no person who was better calculated to attract and deserve it.— (Hear.) He was very glad to find that the question of the repeal of the Union was to be debated in a manner that became a question of reason, for he did not consider it as such, and by debating it 'on the test of reason, he was fully confident it would be shown that it did not square with the rules of reason. That the re peal of the Union would be injurious to the British empire at large he was certain, but most so to Ireland; and it was with satisfaction he had heard from the Hon. Member for Dublir, that the tendency of this measure was to be submitted to a calm discussion. It appeared extraordinary to him (Lord Althorp) how the connection of an opulent and poor country could be , injurious to the latter. _ _ . . Mr.O'CONNELL—The leech swells with the blood it sucks, 3 troll. ^:ussex, upon the subject of manorial rights, and praying that some sum, in no case ex, eeding lOt., should be made a legal payment for heriots.—(Hear, hear.) The.. Hon. Member also presented petitions from Etchingham, and various other places in Sussex, upon the subject of ~ tithes, and praying, that in lieu of Ceti a tenth of the rental should to taken, and that in addition to this hop grounds should pay 'los. an acre.' • • - Mr. MILKS presented a-petition from Stanfield, in Essex, signed by the Protestant Dissevers of that town, complaining of the, grievances under v;liiclUbCy laboured.

Mr. FLEETWOOD gave notice of a motion he intends to make after the holydays, on the subject of consular reform. • Mr. P. SCROPE; presented a petition from the borough of 4, against duelling.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) POMFRET V, WARD. Mr. WRIGHT stated that be had an application to make to the Court in this case, arising upon the twenty-sixth new order that was made before the last new set of orders. By the recent practice the examiner who takes the examination in chief of a witness is at liberty to take the cross-examination also. Here there had beep ass examination taken in chief, upon which I receipts had been produced as exhibits, and upon which 2fil. had been paid. An application was made to the same exn_ miner to take a cross-examination of the same witness, but he had refused to do so, the examination in chief having been taken under the old system. For the cross-examination which had been taken by another examiner, 2(1/. more was demanded, although by the new rules there were only three hundred half-pence due thereon, and the question was whether the Examiner was not bound to deliver out the cross examination he had taken without the payment of this addi. done large sum of money. The Learned Counsel had under. stood that the new rules were made with a vientito save expense tl suitors, and not to increase the amount they had to pay in the different public offices. Mr. SHAW did not wish to say one word against the gentle manly conduct of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, for he had always found him most courteous and obliging—(Hear, hear)—but he could easily see why the popular press had not opened upon him; those connected with that part of the press believing that he was under the patronage and protection of the Hon. Member for Dublin.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He would not say that he countenanced his views, but he did not oppose them with that spirit which might have been ex pected.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure thg the Right Hon. Secretary countenanced no party, nor ever would ; ' for himself he would say that he had always avoided being liable to be denominated a political partisan. It was true that circumstances had occurred that caused him to take a part that would give colour for such an accusation, but he would appeal to any gentleman in Ireland or that House, whether he had ever been considered a violent party man ? He was most wil ling to give the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland credit for being of no party, but he could not give him credit for much firmness. He did not believe that any Government had done so much as the present to forward the views, and give force to the measures, of the Honourable Member for Dublin.— (Hear.) The decision of the House, in the case of Baron Smith, he believed, would spread dismay throughout Ireland, and fill the minds of the people of that country with disgust and amazement. ' For his own part, he believed that Baron Smith had never done more than adopt the course which he conscientiously believed as a man the circumstances of the country required ; and he felt confident that every man, from the highest to the lowest, would lose all confidence in the Irish Government if the consequences of that decision were visited upon Baron Smith. If such a course was adopted, the people would think the Government acceded to the views of the Hon. Member for Dublin, the head of agitation—he did not mean tte term offensively,—the Hon. and Learned Member avows d he was an agitator, and he honoured him for that avowal, but the people; if what he had adverted to took place would consider that infinite injury would be done to Ireland, Mr. VITZGER4I4II bor.e. .testimony to the excellent con duct of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, and stated ,his belief that the course he had pursued was the one best calcu. ]ated to put an end to the question of the repeal of the union. Mr. RUTHVEN admitted that the present Lord Lieute. nant and Secretary of Ireland had, Sy the urbanity of their marinas, arid their gentlemanly behaviour, made themselves acceptable to the Irish people ;, but he regretted,, hat while holding otlice under the present Ministry, they were not in a situation to do anything beneficial for Ireland, however much they might be disposed to do so. Mr. SC.ROYE was persuaded that the people of Ireland were not anxious for the repeal of the union, but their miserable condition had brought them into that state of mind that they would be better for a change of any kind. He thought the opinion was growing very fast in the House, and gain ing ground out of it, that until the measure alluded to by an Hon. Gentleman opposite, namely the performance of full and unlimited justice to Ireland, and affording the people full opportunity of earnin their livelihood honestly,—until some such measure was carried into effect tranquillity could not be restored to Ireland. There were hundreds and thousands of individuals dependant for their very subsistence upon the caprice of a single landlord.—(Hear, hear.) An Hon. Mem ber had mentioned the other day an instance of a landlord who ejected at once more than 800 families, containing upwards of 1,000 individuals, from their homes, and from their only means of subsistence,—(Hear, hear,) No wonder, then, that such a people, so distracted and distressed, should be ready for the repeal of the Union and the dismem- berrnept of the empire. If, therefore, the Government wished to reduce the agitation and to disarm the Hon. Member for Dublin of his most extraordinary unprecedented and dangerous power, let them give the people soine reaef, and take them out of the power of the landholders, and also take measures to secure them against that stateof famine to which they were exposed. It was not necessary for him to bay much on the question of repeal, as it was so doubtful that it would ob tain the least support in that House. He regretted, however, that Government did not contemplate the introduction of any system of poor laws for Ireland during the present session. He regretted this on account of the Ministers as well as the people, because a strong suspicion existed that the Commission lately appointed was intended merely to give the "go by" to the question, or to delay it from time to time, and from session to session, until some event should arise to prevent its farther procrastination. It was stifled last session by a promise, and six or seven mouths elapsed before the Commission was appointed ; since then another half-year had expired. The House had been informed by the Govern ment that they did not expect the Report of the Commis sioners to be made during the present session. He confidently hoped the Government would determine to bring forward some measure of the kind alluded to, as he was sure it would give satisfaction to the English population, who felt the rivalry of the Irish labourers; and it would also be the means of re storing tranquillity, and with tranquillity prosperity to Ire land.—(Hear, hear.) Lord ALTHORD assured the Honourable Gentleman, that the Commission was not issued with even the slight. est intention, on the part of the Government, to give the question the go by.—(Hear, hear.) He confessed that during a former discussion he said that he was indeed very far from having made up his mind on the subject. The information possessed by Government, and that possessedby the Hon. Mem ber himself, fell very far short of being stifhoient to establish the fact that Poor Laws would be benetioial to Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) It would not be prudent for any Government to make such a charge without full inquiry, and the completest infor ' metien that could be obtained. It was from want of that in. formation that Government thought they would b.; unable to introduce the question this Session. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr F. O'CONNOR said he had another petition to present from the inhabitants of the town of Cove, for the total aboli. tion of tithes; but as so much of the time of the House had been already occupied with discussions upon Irish affairs, he would not detain them with any observations on this petition. He would merely draw the attention of the Hon. Members to the distinction between this tax, as affecting landlords and te nant in this country and in Ireland. In England the tax fell upon the landlord, and was comparatively free to the tenant, but in Ireland it was very different. Petition ordered to lie on the table. Mr. LLOYD presented a petition from James Dunn, of Gray's Inn, Barrister-at-Law, complaining of the conduct of the Chairman end Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions at Ches ter, and calling for an inquiry. Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from the seamen and other inhabitants of South Shields, praying that some regula tions should be made with respect to the impressment of sea men, in order that such a practice might be done away with. Mr. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the Provost, magistrates, and town council of the borough of Cupar, in Forfarsh ire, upon the subject of Church Patronage in Scotland. As the repeal question of Ireland had occupied so much time, he would not trouble the House with the agitation of Scotland, which country, and he trusted, to whatever extent they would go, they would never agit a te a repeal of the Union.—(Hear.) was very Mr. RIDER presented a petition from Ulcombe, in Rent, praying that some steps might be taken to regulate the system of tithes. hie. H, as cu of r a vs presented different a na ture to that of the Sister petition from Northcote, The LORD CHANCELLOR said so they were, and there eculd be no doubt that they would have that effect ; because, under the new system, after the compensation was at an end, 61,0001. only would have to be paid for that for which formerly 911,000/. and a fraction was required. His Lordship desired to be fur., nished with the papers that he might look into the point. SOLICITORS' NEGLIGENCE. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would take this opportunity of mentioning a circumstance which he hoped solicitors would attend to. Great ineonvenience had arisen from not handing in the papers in cases as soon as those cases were argued. It hap ened that in' the very last long case that was before the Court 'of Hunter v. Atkins, which was finished only yesterday, and likewise in the long ease of Mackinnon v. Sharpe, which pre: ceded Hunter v. Atkins, there were papers of considerable bulk to be read through. Last night, after finishing the reading, of the paper in the matter of Long, which he had intended giving judgment in to-day had the parties been in CoUrt, he intended to read the paper in Hunter v. Atkins, but found that none had been deliyered. Finding that, he determined to go imme diately to the former case of Mackinnon v. Sharpe, and in 'that also he was greatly disappointed on being informed that paper whatever had been delivered: If solicitors and parties thought he should be better able to dispose of questions of con siderable magnitude and importance at a distance from the time of their being argued, than when the arguments and the points were fresh in his memory, he could only say he did not enter tain a similar opinion. He was sure it was not the most satis factory way of proceeding, nor the most certain mode of admi nistering justice. It would be the fault of the Solicitors, therefore, in the case he had adverted to, should judgment not be given for some time,. It had been his intention to have disposed of, Sharpe v. Mackinnon to-morrow, and Hunter is. Atkins on the following day, but public business would now oblige him to delay those judgments. There could be Ura pos.. sible reason for the papers not being delivered the instant the asses were over, because the Court never could require to see any paper that was not used at the Bar.
