He was well aware that when Jbers were anxious for adopting a different course usually pursued by the House, such Honourable ought to have a strong reason for:making such tion. Many Hon.

It was true however that Saturday had in consequence of the pressing business of the :Id according to the present system any Hon.

With these statements therefore, 11- .,", ask the House, whether knowing the time important measure had already taken in and the anxiety that existed in the public respect to it, whether it was not fit some should be adopted more expeditiously to press :t measure through the House. Almost all husinoss was at a stand, the wine duties, the ~al 4 l l l e excise, and other most important business had '4 4 Yail, and it was quite apparent no public Heeould proceed till the Reform Bill was disposed lie en was not singular in this opinion, for there Pao, „ a r ` n eeting at Bristol, from which place he had a t o s r, a Pog the House to proceed with the Reform ° " exclusion even of petitions ; and he had aOe Petit' eff, t , 'on from the city of London to the ts," He felt satisfied that if the measure he pro ,flot adopted, the whole of the present year would 4 . t !ler*„7l With th discussion of the Reform Bill, .and ( 1 4 Pali t4e bighpat moment would have to be laid aside. ale u stnent was assernh!ed ip order, he would say, , I t iles, 4 fo a r a ..

In the present Parliament it bad been in Committee for twenty-nine days up to the 25th instant ; making in the whole, with the preliminary dis cussions, thirty-four days' debate, comprising 260 hours. fn total discussion, therefore, it had occupied forty-five days, or 352 hours, and yet the Committee had arrived only at the 22d clause of the first Bill. If the disposal of the three Bills was necessary before Parliament separated, as he presumed, it was necessary to make some ar rangement the better to expedite its progress.—(Hear.) He (Mr H.) was aware that even after any resolution which the House might come to, it was in the power of any Honourable Member to interpose on the motion that the Speaker leave the Chair, and prevent the progress of the measure. But let that Hon. Member know, whoever he might he, that the public vv,,ul,, mark him, and rightly estimate the motives of his conduct.—(Hear, bear, hear.) He had himself interposed with the progress of the same three hours on a recent occasion, when considering the necessity of colonial representation connected with the principle of the Bill he had ventured to call the attention of the House and of the Government to that sufject. But having thus taken to himself the whole of the blame which was imputable to him, he considered himself warranted to call upon the House to adopt some plan for effectually expediting the progress of the Bill. He knew well that any plan for this purpose might in some way be liable to objection ; but in the present state of the country and of the House, it was certainly in cumbent upon the House to make a trial.—(llear.) He should move, therefore, that no petitions should be pre sented in that House in the five days of the week, except such as regarded this important ineasure,—(A laugh.) and with that view, as preliminary to a series of resolu tions, be should move that the orders of the day should take precedence of notices on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The effect would be that Monday should 'main for any other discussions that might be requisite, and the remaing five days would be appropriated to the dispatch of the Bill. The House might meet from twelve till six in Committee, the Speaker might then take the chair for an hour or two, and the Committee might afterwards resume. Mr. O'CONNELL seconded the motion. After an alteration in its phraseology, suggested by the SPEAKER, the motion was then put, that in this present Session of Parliament all Orders of the Day set down in the Order Book for Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, should be disposed of before the House pro ceeded with any motion. Lord ALTHORP said that he did not wish, in that stage of the discussion, to express any decided opinion upon the motion. He was anxious to know the feeling of the House upon the matter. For himself he could fairly say, that it did not appear to him that this motion would have any very great tendency to ex pedite the progress of the measure.—(Hear.) He knew perfectly well that there were in that House many Ho nourable Members who were as desirous as he was for the progress and success of that great measure; he should like, therefore, to hear their opinion on this motion. One objection would be the great inconve nience which an early meeting would occasion to Members in situations like his own. He wished to take the feeling of the lit use upon the motion, however as he would most cheerfully undergo any individual inconvenience, or labour, if it were the wish of the House that the motion should be adopted. Mr. HERRIES suggested that the motion before the House was not to meet at an earlier hour, but simply as to the precedence of motions by orders of the day on Tues days, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Lord ALTHORP said, if the proposition of the Hon. Member for Middlesex were adopted be would certainly object to the form and manner in which it was ex pressed. The same end might be attained in a dif ferent way.—(Hear.) The Committee on the Reform Bill might be treated in the same way as a Committee up stairs. He would object to orders of the day excluding notices. It was objectionable in principle, and would, he believed, be inoperative in practice.—(Hear.) But while the convenience, the comfort, and perhaps the health of Hon. Members were involved in the question, he should like the sense of the House to be taken on the subject. Mr. HERRIES believed, it was the universal wish of the House, that the Noble Lord (Altborp) should first declare his own opinion upon this subject.—( Hear, hear.) He gathered from what the Noble Lord said, that so far as his own opinion went, he was against both parts of the motion of the Honourable Member for Middlesex ; with respect to the early hour of meeting, the Noble Lord seemed to be of opinion (in which he also con curred) that the progress of the Reform Bill would not be thereby promoted ; but when the Noble Lord stated that individually he was willing to make any personal sacrifice, and to endure the additional fatigue of coming to the House at twelve o'clock, .he (Mr. Herries) begged to remind that Noble Lord that there were two parties concerned in that object ; that there was not only the inconvenience of the Noble Lord and his Colleagues, but there was also the public service. —(Loud cheering from the Opposition. 3 If he (Mr. Herries) were at all competent to form an opinion of the duties of office, he could declare that very great inconvenience would arise to the public service, if the Ministers of the Crown were to come to this House every day at twelve o'clock, and for this reason (looking at personal convenience as a se condary object) he should oppose the present mo tion. As to the second part of the motion, viz. that orders of the day should take precedence of all other business, that was a proposition he would never consent to, and indeed it was not competent for the House to make any such order. When great events were daily passing before their eyes—(Hear)—were Hon. Members to be prevented bringing forward motions merely because this subject had been proposed to he taken first ? This mea sure was not one of an urgent immediate operation, its object was prospective—(Hear)—and could it not be supposed that it would have fewer imperfections by allowing some interval to pass ? If the object of the motion were to promote the success of the Bill, and in the best manner, he would tell the Hon. Member that the motion would defeat his object.—(Hear.) Although the Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) might possess Herculean strength, there were others as talented as be who did not possess sufficient physi cal power to endure the fatigue of an early and unremitting attendance in the House.—(Cheers.) Let the House consider this proposed regulation would not only impOse a heavy burthen on all the Members of the House, but would encrease the buthen on the Ministers of the Crown, and interfere in the proper discharge of their other functions.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Herries) thought that much good would accrue by the postponement of the Bill for a period. The Noble Lord and his colleagues had not contended that this Bill was a wise measure, or indeed a good measure ; but they maintained that it was a necessary measure—and less than that would not satisfy the people. He (Mr. Herries) and those on.his side denied that assertion, and in proof of it the people were now cooler upon the subject, and were getting wiser. —(Cheers from the Opposition.) Why not postpone it for a time, and come to the discussion of it with a better knowledge of the people's wishes, as collected from their opinions ex pressed in cooler moments. He did not flatter himself that his proposition would be acceded to by the Noble Lord ; but he begged to dissent from the present motion, as creating an injury to the public service, and as an uncon stitutional interference with the functions of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) Sir J. NEWPORT said he understood that the House had been called together, as oared by his Majesty, for the purpose of ascertaining she sense of the people upon the great question of a Reform in Parliament.—(Hear.) The Right Hon. Member opposite and such as were Mem bers for notrination boroughs,were extremely anxious to do all they could to protect their existence, for the moment the Reform Bill passed, that Hon. Member and others who surrounded him would be no longer Members of that House. By meeting at twelve o'clock Alsmbers would, in his opi. nion, be much more competent to do their work p roper l y than they would be by sitting up till twelve, one, or two o'clock in the m orning.—(Laughter.) 'When it was said that other measures would be postponed in consequence of the Reform Bill, be felt it his duty to state that he believed the ppinion of the public was more intense for the passing of this Bill than any other meagre. He de precated the adjournment for three months, wishing the opinion of the people to be satisfied at the present mo ment. He thought by beginning at tw el v e o' c loc k , busi ness would be much expedited, and t he p eo p le,whose anxious hopes were fixed on the passing of this Bill, would be satisfied. He therefore concurred with the motion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex. Mr. HERRIES could assere the Noble Lord opposite thst he was in earnest in sug gesting, as odjooria meta for three months. topublicdeferring opinion on subjects like the present, which the Noble Lord seemed inclined to do, Ile recommended an adherence to the ancient practice of the House, Mr. PROTHEROE thought that the p ro p osition o f the lion. Member for Middlesex was rea sonable, and should be adopted. He would however suggest the adjournment of the House for an hour or so, to allow Members to take their dinner.—(A laugh.) lion. Mem bars might smile, but he thought it but rational that some short respite should be given• An Hort. MEMBER whose name we could not learn, rose to move as an amendment, that the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Reform Bill be read, which being seconded, Sir C. WETHERELL rose and said, though he could not but admire the parenthesis which the Honourabl e Member for Bristol wished to introduce, for the pur pose of affording a dinner hour, yet he thought an interruption in the sittings would occasion much loss of time. With respect to the motion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, he had no hesitation in saying, that if it succeeded, the proceedings of the House would be entirely under the controul of his Majesty's Ministers. If the Bill, however, was to be carried instantly into opera tiion, there might be some necessity for the Hon. Member's motion, but when it was notorious that the Bill could not come into operation until the month of August, 1832, he felt completely at a loss to fins; out its necessity. No election could take place under the present Bill till a year had elapsed from the time of its passing, the registration having to take place in July or August. He admitted it to be true, that in the tyran nical reign of James the Second the Crown bad dissolved the Parliament for the purpose of making the new one its creature, but in times like the present he had no hesitation in saying, that the measure of Ministers, in advising the Crown to dissolve the late Parliament, was an ill-judged and tyrannical measure. The Bill did not seem to him to be looked so favourably upon now, as it had been represented. (We sbail give the remainder in a Second Edition.) AWFUL DEATH.-BURIAL AT SEA. When we think ourselves in the greatest secu rity we are oftentimes on the brink of destruction. The night was cloudy and dark, the breeze fresh, the ship under the guidance of an expe rience pilot, and secured from rocks and shoals, we progressed rapidly by the islands. About midnight the pilot expressed himself thirsty, and went to the scuttle-butt, which stood just before the mainmast (for in those days we had those lumbering articles, to which was chained a tin pot) in order to gratify his desire. He had scarcely lifted the water to his lips when a peal of thunder roared over our heads, and the pilot was a corpse. He was struck (lead by the light ning ! The vivid flash nearly blinded us, and the noise of the fall alone announced the cala mity. He never sighed or spoke—he was dead in a second. The ancients considered a man struck by lightning as a favourite of the Gods, but the watch on deck evinced great doubts as to the favour bestowed ; and the second peal had rattled over our heads, before a sailor could be found valiant enough to remove the poor pilot from his sudden death-bed. On examining the corpse the next day, it was with the utmost dif ficulty the smallest spot could be discerned ; at last a little black speck, about the size of a pin's head, on the left side of the body was discovered, and it was settled by the surgeon that the pilot was dead, and that this same spot was the place where the electric fluid had entered the body. We buried him the next day after the following manner :—The sail-maker undertook to place the shroud in the shape of a hammock round the head of the unfortunate man, and cut the canvass to suit the figure of the body. Down he sat upon the corpse with all the non chalance that a Spaniard would exhibit as he placed himself on a cushion at the feet of his adorable Donna Francesca. The body was enveloped in its last vestments; the canvass stitched tightly round, and two shot attached to the feet. I have heard it said that it was customary to run the needle in the last stitch through the nose of the corpse ; some may do it, but I certainly never remarked it my self. The bell tolled at eleven o'clock. Of all sounds on board a ship the usual toll of the bell is the most melancholy ; and, although a ship does not afford those spurs to holy meditation like the aisle of a church, where, seated in pro ; found silence, the congregation wait the first burst of the organ to rise in solemn adoration ; still there is a profound solemnity when that bell tolls its unusual toll to summon us to the at tendance of our last duty to a fellow-creature. Placed on a grating, the corpse was removed to the gangway or entrance part of the ship, and was covered with a Union Jack, the corner of which was fastened to the grating, and the grat ing was secured by a rope. The officers stood behind the Captain on the quarter-deck, while the crew assembled on the gangways and on the after-part of the booms ; the messmates of the deceased placed themselves by the side of the corpse, and, when all was silent, the bell stopped. The officers and ship's company uncovered, and the burial service was read. This fell to the lot of the purser, for the Captain rarely officiated ; indeed, with us in that ship the Cap tain was seldom called to the unpleasant attend ance, for we were healthy, and never lost a man even in action while I was in her. At the part Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God," &c., the following words are altered to— " we therefore commit his body to the , deep. A slight bustle occurred from the sailors anxiety to catch a last glimpse of their fellow-creature ; a pause e e d i s c u e e a din the s e d performed the untilfinal the in e services s rn a the by launching the corpse, grating, colours, and all, into the sea. It fell with a deep and solemn splash as the water rolled over the dead, enlarging its circles, the emblem of that eternity to which the body had been committed. The rustling noise of the water, as the grating was dragged through it by the motion of the ship, alone disturbed the solemn silence of the moment. The service was finished, and the ship's company retired to their usual avocations. It is certainly strange that in so small a community the death of one seems so little felt and so easily forgotten. The sale of the dead man's clothes, which usually follows on the first opportunity, erases him from the me mory and his name only lives on the ship's book and in the purser's accounts. The common sailor has an opinion, not easily removed, that the first occupation of the purser, after he has replaced his prayer-book on the shelf, is to charge to the dead man's account some few ex tra pounds of tobacco, and this idea I believe to have had its foundation in reality ; for, in the early ages of the navy, all sorts of tricks were practised to swell the debit side of a sailor's ac count, and to place money in the purser's pockets. Hence the saying of the sailors, speaking of the talents of a purser, " Oh yes," says Jack, " he is a clever fellow, for lie can make a dead man chew tobacco."--,Melropoiitqn Magazine.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Aucusr 26. Earl SHAFTESBURY officiated for the Lord Chao cellor, he being still absent. Lord ALTHORF and others from the Commons brought up the Duchess of Kent's Annuity Bill, which, on the motion of Earl GREY, was read a first time. Mr. BERNAL and others brought up the Birmingham Poor Bill, with the amendments agreed to, and Lefevre's Divorce Bill. On the motion of the Marquis of WESTNIEA TB, the Burning of Land in Ireland Bill (to provide against the setting aside of convictions for want of form) went through a Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that it having been announced that Government intended to make some communication to the other House of Parliament relative to recent transactions in the Tagus, he wished to know from the Noble Earl opposite (Earl Grey) whe ther there would be any objection that the same infor mation should be laid before the House. Earl GREY replied that there would not be the slightest objection. The Bills on the table were then advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at w Quarter past Five o'clock till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Aua UST 26. At Half-past Three o'c',ock the SPEAKER took his seat. THE DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. CRAMPTON presented a petition, which he said deserved the serious consideration of the House, as con nected with the purity of election and the privileges of this House. It was signed by one of the candidates at the late' Dublin election, Mr. Serjeant O'Loghlen, and by certain freeholders, complaining of gross partiality and misconduct on the part of the Sheriffs during the election. If the statement in the petition was true, and from the respectability of the petitioners he (Mr. Crampton) could not doubt it, the conduct of the Sheriffs was highly repre hensible. According to the Act of Parliament, the Sheriffs were to erect five booths, three for freeholders and two for freemen, and the arrangement was so ordered that not more than SOO could poll at each booth. The first corn plaint against the Sheriffs was, that contrary to the ar rangements made in accordance with the Act, they, without any previous intimation to the Reform candidates, but appearing to be in the interest of the Corporation candi dates, thought proper to transfer 500 voters from one booth to another ; this had the effect of creating consider able confusion, for many voters ran about without knowing where to vote. At each booth a deputy was, as regulated by law, stationed ; there were five deputies, of which four were in the interest of the Cohoration, and it appeared from the statement of the petitioners that they had acted with gross partiality. Mr. W. WYNN interrupted the Hon. Member by calling him to order, as this was, properly speaking, an election petition, and therefore it was unfair to the parties concerned to make these statements. Mr. GRATTAN contended that the subject matter of the petition was fit fur the consideration of the House, and he protested against the interruption by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wynn). The SPEAKER conceived that this was more in the nature of an election petition, and as the return had not been made to the Crown-office, it was too early to present any election petition. If the prayer of the House was for a remedy, clearly the House could afford none, as by law the charges would he subject to inquiry before a Special Committee upon an election petition. Mr. CRAMPTON said the petition prayed for a remedy, and also that in the Reform Bill, now before the House, it should be provided that the Sheriffs elected by corporations should not be allowed to be the returning officers. He therefore hoped that this latter prayer would justify the House in receiving the petition. The SPEAKER said it appeared to him that the inser tion of one prayer for a general legislative object could not be received if it was accompanied by another prayer for a remedy for individual grievances. After a few words from Mr. HOME, who thought that the petition ought to be received, Mr. CRAMPTON consented to withdraw the petition, though lie felt satisfied that the statements it contained de manded investigation. . . Mr. LAMBERT presented two petitions, one from the Roman Catholic inhabitants, and the other from the Protestant inhabitants of New Ross, praying that the yeomanry of the county of Wexford might be disarmed, and remodelled. Many of the petitioners were within his (Mr. Lambert's) knowledge highly respectable and wealthy. He did not - wish that any unjust or harsh cen sures should be made on the yeomanry, but he was sorry to state that there was too muck truth in the corn plaints that had been made of that body.—(Hear, hear.) The petitioners stated that the yeomanry of Wexford were nearly all of them Protestants of low character, and chiefly apprentice boys, from whose indiscriminate use of arms great mischief had arisen. They prayed that the yeo manry might be remodelled, and that it might consist of persons not only of all denominations, but of persons who had an interest in preserving peace. The Hon. Member designated the late affair at Newtownbarry as wanton, unprovoked, and, he hail too much reason to fear, of a very deliberate character.—( Hear, hear.) The attention of the public had been called to a memorial connected with this subject, presented to the Noble Lord at the bead of the Treasury, and it had been said in another place, as m tlae n nis w el well as by the newspapers, that the memorial was factious, and got up under the sanction of the Hon. Member for Kerry (Mr. O'Connell). This be denied; it was a remonstrance drawn up by respectable and honourable (316.,ceoot...(EuLeaLr'slaid, 6,, et, ii hvoee_ha(dlleneort)h_inpgertsoonsaskwhoof setohreneGdotvoernnsemaentthrefoart to the Government, as had been charged to them. He (Mr. Lamb e rt) first took the memorial, already signed by several persons, to the Honourable and Learned Member for Kerry for his signature. He had also been called a crea ture of the Hon. and Learned Member's, but he scorned the assertion. He had disagreed with that Hon. Mem ber in more stormy places than in that House, but he was bound to say, that much as that Hon. Member had done for Ireland, he yet expected to see him do much more. --(Hear, hear.) He entreated his Majesty's Ministers manfully, and at once, to begin the regeneration of Ireland ; he knew there were difficulties in the way, but they were to be got over by perseverance and determination. Mr. MAXWELL regretted that the Hon. Member had commented in such severe terms on the yeomanry of Ireland. He differed with that Hon. Member as much as it was possible for one man to do with another. He held in his hand a statement signed by forty Magistrates, and by other gentlemen of the county of Wexford, in which they re ferred to the resolutions agreed to at a public meeting in Wexford on the 30th July, and they declared their opinion that the maintenance of the yeomanry force was essential to prevent insurrection in that country ; he (Mr. Maxwell) agreed with that declaration, and was confident that any at- tempt to disband that force would be attended with great disturbance, and would eventually lead to the separation of the two countries. As to the Newtownbarry affair, from what had been stated on a former evening by the Hon. Member for Wexford (Mr. Lambert), he had written to that place, and he would now state to the House the re sult of his inquiries. The Hon. Member had stated that the yeomanry of Ireland were not to be intrusted with i n n s g ta b n e e e e n d one shot e b a y s e thatof twofor force, and 0 who h t o h e voted yeo manry aforrmh'inafinrildianvgi shots over the chapel of Newtownbarry during wtslhioeeuill'idkiensce that the celebration of mass for the souls of the deceased per sons,and lie concluded by asking, if such things had oc curred in England, whether they would not have aroused notawou jafdswoathevhcoieturny: ofwah t o eeN u l we l e d :aev ; snt obmwuont acquainted, sb i t t a rsro respectable ( p ni i e d n e e :? d or :utrlbbsdoea hear.) speak t ie h )aN% e k, s i e t things ouhf eet hileeari ilyr the indignation of the people ? His (Mr. Maxwell's) re ply did i n his hand (which h e could read if the House repaired it) the affidavits reepeetability. They stated that they were close to the chapel at Newtownbarry on the occasion alluded to, and that they heard no shots fired. Besides these piFfick4as guards at Newtownbarry, deposed to Lieut. James S. Johnson, commandieg e r detachment of King ' s Dragoon tbe Hon. Member (Mr. Lambert) bad He now trusted' that the House misinformedtheirb e a e s n t o hn the iai till(ei ,s , facts. ifl i te II ew l l uo e u , o s li p dh e c nA t? d g mo the bu ebrt etw:voeounlpdegrsrsuonspnsrlayi saidy iiimto ~‘,h aj qqon he able to give as direct a contradiction upon that ppint as lie had upon the others.

The 4..0rd Lieutenant bad declared to the Magistrates that the yen• . manry of Newtownbarry had been unnecessarily called out, pd yet there had been no eetributive justice.—( Hear.) Was there ever so false and atrocious a docoment as. that produced by the Hon. Member from the forty Ma• gistrates ? Was not Newtownbarry we i‘ re lr. wo, one of the most peaceable districts in Ireland before thiaoceurrence ? and yet these N o blemen and Gentlemen; these Magistrates declared the yeomanry necessary to preserve the public peace. Who were the Grand Jury? Why the brothers and relatives of these Magistrates.—(Hear.) They were now asserting what they knew to ,e unfounded and false. If the Go vernment, however, wanted to preserve peace in Ire land, and to keep the people from a state of madness, let them take the arms hum these low Protestants, for it was not denied that they were low characters.— It was high time for the Irish Government to act. Did they not perceive, in every one of their movements, that the party to which they clung were endeavouring to de ceive and to defeat them? They had been endeavouring to get into the tiger's der. to sooth it, but the savage inmate bad turned upon them. Where were the people to look for justice, so long as the Magistrates countenanced Orange proces sions. The truth was that party spirit was an exotic in Ireland : it had thriven hitherto as a de tdly night-shade, that had poisoned the country with its pestiferous influence, because it had been fostered in the hot-bed of Govern ment favour. The period was come when that exotic should have no such protection. Why should the Magis trates give their countenance to Orange processions ? Let the Government only dismiss in any one Orange county one or two of the Magistrates from the commission. and the evil would soon be mitigated ; the remaining ones would be quite tame and submissive. It was time for the Government to take some determined step; they could not serve God and Mammon ; they could no serve the people while they kept alive the party spirit of an Orange yeomanry, which hated the Government, it possible, worse than it did the people of Ireland, whom they wished to keep in subjection. Mr. STANLEY hoped the House would not he led away into the discussion of disagreeable topics, which the more they were avoided the better chance there was of subduing party animosities, by the very violent, uncalled for, and unjustifiable speech of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry. It had been well if that Hon. and Learned Gentleman had imitated the moderation and good temper of the Hon. Gentleman who presented this peti tion, who, being a Wexford mast, and immediately con nected with the subject of the petition, had intro duced a matter in which his own feelings might have been Lidy excited, and yet bad abstained from one single expression in all be had said that was in the slightest degree calculated to give pain. He wished the Hon. Member for Kerry had had the fairness and candour to follow so good an example. He (Mr. O'Connell) had, however, endeavoured to rake up every possible ground of party enmity—of that enmity which he professed himself so anxious to subdue and extinguish. He (Mr. Stanley) must be allowed to say, that such was not the manner in which that party spirit could be allayed or ex terminated; and whatever might be the professions of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, it was not the best calcu lated to assist the Government in steering a course which they were most anxious to steer, separate from, and in dependent of any party spirit whatever.—(Hear, hear.) Nothing could have so pernicious an effect on these objects as the violence and intemperance of language with which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman bad treated this sub ject. The best way (as suggested by the Hon. Member for Wexford) was, that what had gone by should be, if possible, obliterated from their recollection, and that they should look to the future for a remedy. The Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry had thrown great discredit upon the statement made respecting the celebration of the mass —(llear, hear)—on the occasion of the interment of the unfortunate individuals who had fallen at New townbarry. Now he (Mr. Stanley) had in his band a document which would set that point at rest, in which from the testimony of Mr. Walsh, the priest who had celebrated that mass, it appeared that no disturbance had taken place, nor had the slightest inter ruption been offered on that day, ❑or on any day since, by the yeomanry of the county.—(Hear, hear, hear.) With regard to the general question, the subject matter of the petition, the House was aware that his Majesty's Government were particularly anxious to adopt some measure for placing the Irish yeomanry force on a less objectionable footing than it now occupied in some districts of Ireland. They knew too the difficulties with which the question was surrounded, and he could only say, that while the Government were not prepared, for the fault of a few individuals, to pass a sweeping sentence of condemnation on so large and in many instances so respectable a body; while they were not prepared to disband the yeomanry of Ireland, yet let a sin gle individual, a single corps, or a single instance, be brought forward where duty was neglected or overstepped, and the Marquis of Anglesea would take the most prompt steps to investigate the matter, and signify his opinion upon it. With regard to the circumstances of the yeomanry of Wex ford he regretted that they were expOsed to considerable suspicion. But that single instance was not a sufficient reason for disbanding a whole body of men, unless there should appear a charge against them of im proper conduct. As to the calling out the yeomanry, the Lord Lieutenant had expressed his opinion very strongly, and the consequence was that two Magistrates had resigned their place in the commission of the peace, and it had been accepted. But upon the conduct of the yeomanry when called out, while proceedings were pending, his Lordship had not expressed an opinion. Mr. G. DAWSON had heard with satisfaction the i a e d n t t s o o b f e t the a ' b l e ß t i g o ht acquit llon . h sSeAcirae Majesty's ,s fo G r o l N r .v el r a n n m d e . n He f b geta e l i tt n eg g nl a party in calumniating that useful body the Irish yeomanry. But if he felt pleasure in the statements which he had heard from the Secretary for Ireland, that pleasure was changed into indignation at the extraordinary speech which had been made by the Hon. Member for Kerry--( Hear, bear)—and others, who had united them selves with what he could not but call a most unconsti tional cabal, to insult his Majesty's Ministers for the purpose of effecting their own objects.--(Loud cries of Hear, hear," particularly from Mr. O'Connell.) He neither regarded the cheers nor dreaded the attacks of the Hon. Member for Kerry—(Hear)—for he had not a doubt that in stating what he had done, he spoke tie sentiments of a vast portion of the population of Ireland, who would he was confident resist to a man any attempt of the Hon. Member to put down tha Protestants of Ireland, or to calumniate the Irish yeomanry, —(Hear, hear.) He hoped the Secretary for Ireland would furnish the House with ample details of the dread ful affair at Newtownbarry, and he should feel much disappointed if that account did aot acquit the yeomanry of what the Hon. Member had designated a massacre. With respect to the yeomanry generally in Ireland, be begged of the House not to join in those unmerited designations against that useful body, which had been so lavishly indulged in:by the Member for Kerry, or those com posing the cabal to which he had referred. Mr. GRATTAN rose to order. If the Hon. Member opposite designated those who were acting with him as a cabal, he had no hesitation of telling him he watt stating that which was false. The SPEAKER trusted the Hon. Member would re frain from using language that was highly unparliamentary. Mr. DAWSON considered the speech of the Hon, Member (Mr. Gratt an ) one o f th e m o s t extraordinarx ho had ever heard. That Hon. Member had not aaiy heirded a Member of his Majesty's Government in plicate, but even in that House---( lear)—and that in language such as ought not to he countenanced by the House, or by any Membor of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He limew from the cheer of the Hon. Member behind (Mr. O'Connell) that the object he had in view was the separation of Ireland from England ; biAt so would tell that Hon. Member the people of Ireland did not trust him ; they had not joined 114) or would they join him, in % i ntl.% stork, uWess the Government of the country lei tWir aid by dis. banding the yeomanry. They would not join him in the at tempt to do that, wl icit . be oalled an unconstitu tional object, lia; the moment Government disbanded she yeomanry, which he knew they bad too much good tense toodo, they would throw Ireland into the arms of 3 , l 4e4ntiea. The moment the yeomanry were disartoe& the Protestants of the country would arm tbemaelves at their own expence. Thousands of my.; ILA told him within the last few days that the si g nal 'for disarming the yeomanry would the ciiinal for arming themselves. He had no, hesitation in saying that there was no part i 4 cna empire enjoyed more tranquillity or showg More respect to Government than the Notiti, pf Areland, and to prove that, he would read ;he address of Mr. Justice Jebb to the Grud Jury of Kerry. The Hon. Member for Kerry bad hated on a former occasion that he (Mr. D.) h a d made complaints of the Ma gistracy of Ireland, and with his usual ingenuity endeavoured to make it apvar that those complaints had originated en and exclusively with the Yeomanry, What be re ferred to was, th e quarre l that had taken place betwee n the Orang e me n an d the Vyoteat i ots, subjects totally un connected with He tr-,: i iited that the imabiishment of the yeomanry c rops . more the subject of th e y?..omanry of icreland was discussed, the moreF;entles t oen from th e nor th of Ireland would stand up i their places and contradict the aspersions cast c'a, them by the Hon. Member fps Kerry, RATTAN thoUght that the Government 4i h d e :Lo Honourable Member w n j. re s d t sa t t h , e lQ,,, a ; d : i t ce o the purpose f or w hi c h h e rose was to repel the attack made o n severa l M em b ers of that Af the Hpn. M em b er meant to apply the word n hga t d cabal to those with whom ht (Mr,Grattan) was associated, he would tell him he was uttering a direct falsehood, The SPEAKER had great hopes that what he had pre. viously stated to the Hon. Member would have induced hito to repent the expression he had sow made use of, It was quite disorderly, totally unparliamentary, and he Legged him to reconsider it. Mr. GRATTAN's only wish was to refute the charges made against him. The only object which his friends and himself had in view in forming what had been designated a cabal, was the pacifi cation of Ireland, which he for one considered would be best effected by the gradual reduction of the Irish yeomanry. He considered the attack of the Yeomanry on the unfortunate individuals at Newtown barry a shame and disgrace to them. Captain GORDON should have thought it his duty to comply with the recommendations of the Right Hon. Se cretary for Ireland, if they had not been accompanied by a statement the most singular he had ever heard. That Right Honourable Gentleman had said that the state ment of the Honourable Member for Wexford ought to satisfy every individual in that House. He begged to ask that Right Hon. Gentleman whether the words unprovoked, deliberate, and premeditated massacre, ought to satisfy every individual in that House. The Hon. Mem- I er for Kerry, who had expressed his detestation of what had occurred at New townbarry, seemed to have entirely lost sight of the dreadful murders perpetrated in the south parts of Ireland. The Ilonourable Member had also as sorted that he conceived Ireland ought not to be governed by party. In that sentiment he entirely concurred. But this he must say, that he would much rather see Ireland governed by the most degraded party on earth, than by the party of the Honourable Member fur the county of Kerry. The Hon. Member said he was surprised, after so much of inflammatory harangue, and after such irritating topics had been dwelt upon, to hear a beseeching cry that the business should be proceeded in no further to night.—(Hear) He could only say in reply, that so long as such gross misrepresentation and delusion wereu t tered in that House, and transferred from thence to the public Press, through which it was promulgated speedily in every hamlet and village in England, he would not pass it quietly by come from whom it might.—(Cheers.) Before lie sat down, he begged to advert to a subject which was under discussion on a former night. He had then asserted that the Grand Jury of Carlow had not drank certain toasts which they had been charged with, and the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland confirmed it. But there appeared to be some doubt in the minds of some Hon. Members, whether at a later period of the evening, when but few of the Grand Jury were present, those toasts had not been proposed. He had now the pleasure to inform the House that he had received a denial that such was the case front all of the Grand Jury. Mr. JEPHSON deprecated the speeeh of the Right Hon. Member for Harwich (Mr. Dawson) as one of a most irritating nature, and as likely to be productive of serious injury in Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentleman had curl-, founded the people of Ireland with a great caulk of misery, in that country, for many years past. That Right Hon. Gentleman had also cast an aspersion upon the body of gentlemen who had thought proper to repre sent the present state of Ireland to the Prime Minister; he (Mr. Jephson) asked if those gentlemen would have performed their duty to Ireland, if they had not repre. sented what they conceived to be was great injustice in that country ? He begged it to be understood that the representation made to the Minister was done in the most friendly spirit, and not with any view of holding out threats. Mr. SHEIL said he was surprised at the reiterated as sertions which fell from Hon. Members on that (the Op position) side of the House upon this subject, coupled, as they usually were, with a good deal of somewhat suspici ous commentary. Upon the subject of the yeomanry no Irishman could be a proper witness, for they were all, en either side of the question, imbued too deeply with party feeling to judge dispassionately. He would not ask the House to take his opinion upon the subject, but he thought he might ask them to take the opinion of Colonel Verner, the head of the Orangemen of Ireland. In the examine. tion of the Colonel before the House of Peers he acknow ledged that no Catholic was admitted into the yeomanry of the county of Fermanagh.—(The Hon. Member here read the evidence of Colonel Verner, taken before the Lords' Committee in support of his assertion.) lie thought the deputation was a well-judged step, for the purpose of stating to the Government the feelings of the Irish Mem mbearks,i n a g n d t h t e h u h s i o saving C tl o i e m w m a o s n t e s t o t ! e t i d m a i e l y co th n e s a eq t re uen o t f upon their deb rtes upon Irish subjects.-.-(Hear, hear,) With respect to what had been said about not insulting the yeomanry, he would say that he desired no such thing ; but, at the same time, he would say that the cbject ought not to be to conciliate the yeomanry for an hour, hut to satisfy the nation for an age.--(Hear.) Lord KILLEEN said that the deputation were said by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Dawson) to be a cabal, and that their object was to beard the Prime Minister. He could assure the House, however, that be formed part of that deputation with no such view, and Government were aware of that fact. He had not signed the original paper addressed to Lord Grey, because there were obsera vations in it of which be disapproved. When Lord Grey did consent to receive the deputation, be (Lord Killeen) was asked to go also, and be felt that in the exercise of his duty to his constituents he could not refuse acceding to the re quest. It was unjust to say that they were led by the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry, for many of the de putation differed essentially from that Hon. and Learned 1 Member on very important questions ; and upon one, per -1 haps the most important, be would not say that he had yet become a convert to the opinion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry. Having consented to become the spokesman of the deputation, he stated to Lord Grey that the continual debates in the House of Commons upon Irish topics were an injurious waste of that time which should be devoted to the one all-engrossing subject, And that the Irish Members then present had thought it an advisable course to communicate their feelings peramasily to him upon those subjects. He also assured his Lordship that the step was undertaken with the moat friendly spirit towards the Go vernment, or he would not have formed one of the deputaa tion—(Hear, hear.) It was astonishing how very sensi tive the Iligbt Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Dawson) was at any annoyance offered to the Government by any other person than himself. He appeared to think that persons offering such annoyance were poaching upon his manor--(A laugh.) In coneluaiou, he would observe that the yeo manry of Irelaod was a party force, and, therefore, unsuited to that country ; and if it was at all desirable that the Vision between the countries should he preserved, it could only Le done by distributing justice impartially, and not by arming one portion of the community against an other.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RUTHVEN was satisfied to leave it to the Go vernment to make such modifications of the yeomanry force as, upon consideration, they should see to be expedient. He thought it inconsistent with propriety and with Parlia mentary usage to speak of any body of gentlemen in the language applied by the Right Hon. Member for Harwich to the deputatlett to Lord Grey. It was unbecoming to taunt thtee gentlemen with having gone to beard the Mi nister, whereas in fact they waited on him in a respectful manner, and with the most friendly intention, to prevent angry discussions being continually renewed in the Houser He (Mr. Buthven) had no doubt that it would have been ow with a t h i e o t a te ve r ple uc a h se es d ), m h a a n d y t g h e e n d tl e e p m u e t n ati b o e n lo b w him (on th e Opposi.., factious spirit; but because the gentlemen who composed it came back to that House to give the Ministers their support in tucasares which had the good of the people for their o*ct, the Right Hon. Gentleman no doubt was til,sappointed and displeased.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. LAMBERT said that the manner in which he had brought up the petition seemed to have given very different satisfaction to different Members. The Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland praised his moderation, whilst the Von, Member for Dundalk accused him as having made an ittidatodariste and violent speech. He could net hear the attacks which had been male upon the Hon. and Learned Member for Kerry without expressing hit deep sense, as an Irishman, of the services which that gentleman bad rendejed to his country. —(Hear.) He had expressed no sweeping censure of the yeomanry, nor cast upon them, as had been said, any insult as a body..__( Hear.) But he agreed in the op - Aeon of the most experienced friends of Ireland, that it was the very last force that ought to be mployed in Ireland ; and he hoped that the Government I would place it in a state of what be would call (to use an Irish phrase) wholeaosne decay—(A laugh)—and that they would bogie its gradual abolition with the reduction of the Wexford eorps.—(Hear.) As the Hon. Member for Dun t dalk was indignant that the affiaty at Newtownbarry should be called a massacro, be (Mr. Lambert) would mention to the House only one incident, which he had learned from a Protestant gentleman of the highest respectability and of extensive property, who, however, was not a relation of any of the yeomanry or magistrates who had been con nected in the transaction....(Hear, bear.) Immediately after the horrible .recurrence le saw a wretched husband leaning over the body of his wife, whose womb had been torn by these butchers--her murdered child protruding , from it.
