The commission appointed to inquire into the moral and religious education of the Irish people is one of the greatest importance, and may be regarded as a proof of the determina tion of the Government and the House of Commons to revise effectually- the abuses in the Irish church. Though the Government could not on any ground of reason object to the resolution of Mr. WARD, and might have done so with a perfect certainty of being sup ported by the house, the result of the discussion has been nearly the same. By the appointment of the Commission, as well as by the speeches of Ministers, the defects of that establishment are fully admitted, and a full promise held out that they shall be remedied. It, therefore, matters not whether the resolutions were agreed to or not. If the same House of Commons is in existence next session, it will follow up the object of the Commission ; and if it is not in existence, no resolution it could have come to would have been binding on its successor. By the commencement of next session, the Commission will be able to make their report to the house, who will then be competent to come to some definite plan as to the future constitution of the Irish church, and the mode in which the surplus revenue is to be disposed of. We trust that, along with the report of the commissioners, there will be presented at the same time a full and accurate account of the average value, not only of each living for the last five years, but also the value of all ecclesiastical property, whether belonging to rectors, deans, bishops, or church dignitaries of any description. Without this is clearly ascertained, no good result can be . expected. We are afraid, however, that unless the commission is properly divided, or different parties of commissioners arc sent through the country at the same time, no useful report can be made at an early period. To in spect about three thousand parishes, to inquire into the state and amount of church property in each—the number of inhabitants, the number of schools and scholars, and the respective numbers of Catholics, Protestants, and Presbyterians, independently of many other circumstances connected with the moral and poc litical relations of the church establishment, will be a task of no ordinary magnitude, and require the greatest despatch and assiduity on the part of the commissioners. The government ought to make it an indispensable proviso in the ap pointment, that their report be laid on the table of the house within a fortnight after the assem bling of Parliament ; and from what fell from Lord ALTHORP last night, we trust this is their intention. The commissioners, he said, would be paid, not according to time, but re•• ceive a certain sum for making the report, so that there might be no pecuniary inducement to protract the inquiry. That being the case, we •.&lifiiently look forward to a decision on ltt the middle of next session. .), will be into the state of ";' o} Vud Y.:l6firtiO i England, which, though !` v wet 4 4., 4)4 4 - 3/44 witicas or smcics Tim sink Stork 3 per Cent.

If there is sufficient church property (of which we have no doubt) to maintain the clergy in suitable dignity for their office, then the people ought to be exempted from church fees of every description. It is for the interest of the people, therefore, and their representatives ought to urge it on the Government, that such an in quiry should be instituted without delay. The Bishop of London some time ago promised a return of the value of all the livings in England and Wales ; but such a return as he will give will be of little or no use. Interested par ties are never to be trusted. Let us have a return by disinterested laymen, and not merely the amount of each living, but the state of edu cation, the number of schools, the sources from which they are supported, and the proportionate numbers of the respective sects. The com mittee on education, appointed last night, will not be of much service without a more searching inquiry than they can institute. Two such in quiries as we recommend are absolutely neces sary for placing the moral and religious educa tion of the people on a proper footing. When we look at -the importance of these subjects, and reflect that Mr. STANLEY and the seceders are decidedly opposed to such inquiries, we. may safely assert that their seces sion in the end will prove ,the greatest blessing to the country. Let Earl GREY persevere, steadfastly but cautiously, in the great principle on which he took office, and carry reform into every establishment, and he will not require assistance either from Conservatives or Sece ders. The people will be his best supporters. The decision come to by Ministers last night on the question of the Polish refugees—a de cision come to in a prompt, unhesitating man ner, without being wrung from them as a mat ter of inexorable necessity—does credit to their foresight, their liberality, and their straight-for wardness. It is satisfactory also, as being the aest marked convincing proof we have yet had of a united Cabinet. The incubus of Toryism being removed from its chest, Government, it is plain, now breathes freely, and is prepared to put forth all its most useful energies. The decision of last night, we repeat, is a favour able sign of its good intentions. It does not in volve merely a question of charity ; it is of a far more comprehensive tendency ; it is a sanction of the great principle of freedom—a blow struck directly at the conduct of the northern despot ; for if those who have suffered by his atrocious tyranny are deemed worthy of the sympathy, which is much, and of the assistance, which is more, of the British Government, it is clear that, in the estimation of that Government, they have right on their side, consequently their imperial oppressor can have nothing but might to back his pretensions. It is thus we would always wish to see a British Cabinet act ; thus would we see them ever fore most to side with the victims of tyranny, and mark their sense of the conduct of the tyrant. Lord ALTHORP'S remark that, independently of all charitable considerations, " the causes which led to the sufferings of the Poles are such as to excite very general and deep com miseration," was heard with the most marked satisfaction by the house. And no wonder It breathed a just and manly spirit---just the sort of spirit that is best calculated to strike dismay into the heart of the St. Peters burgh Cabinet. The Russian bear has been growling long enough it is now high time that the British lion should have his roar. We are happy to learn that the committee on the law of libel are pursuing their inquiries with the best intentions to reduce that anoma lous code of inconsistency to a proper, fair, and common-sense sort of standard. Hitherto it was a mass of incomprehensible absurdity and oppression. We see that in order to make the improvement in the new bill as complete as possible, the LORD CHAN CELLOR has been requested to attend the Committee. This is wise, as it will save time hereafter in the progress of the bill. Mr. HUME too has been added to the Com mittee last night ; and the subject of his mo tion, with respect to the modification of certain publications now subject to the stamp duties, referred. While the Committee are sitting, we think they ought to de vise some effective measures for suppressing those twopenny publications, which are weekly put forth to defraud the Stamp-office, and in jure those who pay stamps. It is manifestly to tolerate a continued breach of the stamp laws, merely because the present law is not so framed as to reach those parties who boast and prosper by their evasion of them. If the law be not strong enough, let it be made stronger ; or abolish the stamp duties on news papers altogether, and let honest people have at least fair play. This is all they want, and this they have a right to expect I A committee, we see, is to be appointed to investigate the causes of drunkenness, and de vise a remedy. The idea, though an amiable one, is absurd, and can never be turned to any useful, practical account. It savours much, though in a different line, of Andrew- Agnewism. As for investigating the causes of drunkenness, what need is there of a com mittee to investigate anything of the sort ? The cause is self-evident enough already—it is that a man drinks more than his head will bear. With regard to the remedy, the best we know of is a glass of soda-water ; but if the committee think they can suggest a better, they are wel come, though, as Lord ELDON would say, "we doubt." Mr. HUGHES, in supporting the motion, expatiated (on the authority of Captain Ross) on the virtues of " congealed ice" I This may be pleasant tipple at the North Pole, where there is none else to be had, but we fear it will not sit well on an Eng lish constitution. We should imagine that even Mr. HUGHES himself would make a wry face at it, as an after dinner beverage, when the thermometer is below zero. But there is no accounting for tastes. Mr. CoBBETT, with that noble spirit of disinterestedness for which he has been at all times so remarkable, proposed that Ministers should purchase and circulate two million copies of his sermon against drunkenness ! We fear the people would find these far more difficult to swal low than the spirits against which Mr. BUCKINGHAM has expended so much vir tuous wrath. However, the experiment is worth making, and as Mr. COBBETT is a true patriot, and firmly convinced of the efficacy of his remedies, we do not see that he can do better than circulate them at his own expense. The unsold copies will, no doubt, go a great way to further his patriotic ends. 'We learn by the French Papers of Monday, that the doubts which had been previously entertained with respect to the re-formation of our cabinet, had in a great degree given way to a hope and even confidence in its stabi lity. This has, no doubt, arisen from more correct knowledge on the subject ; for the accounts in the London papers were mainly calculated to excite very serious appre hensions as to a total change of policy by the Government of this country. In this appre hension, - and in a doubt of the stability of the Cabinet, we naturally participated with some of our contemporaries, and that purely' from a supposition, that instead' of a -Cabinet acting upon one cordial and uni form:Course of policy, we should have an Admi nistration pulling different ways on great public questions. But, happily, such is not the case. If the Ministry be weaker in debate —less dexterous in making the worse appear the better cause—they fully make up for such equivocal merits, by a more honest singleness of purpose, and a determination to give effect to what the Cabinet wills—for the business promises to be done by the whole Cabinet, and not by a majority urging on the refractory minority in a sullen obedience to what they heartily hate. It was this disunion of sentiment which no doubt has hitherto so obviously contributed to paralyse the course of the Administration in many of its measures. But the future promises to make amends for the past. There will henceforth be no halting in the right path —a line of policy once adopted on any particular measure will be pursued with firmness, and carried to a proper conclusion. A Government, to be strong in the affections and confidence of the people, must be honest in its intentions. And this we are assured the present Cabinet mean to be. As unity gives strength, it is no doubt to this conviction that the French people have begun to regard the late changes in our Cabinet with satisfaction. A Morning Contemporary states, on the authority of its private correspondent at Ma drid, that, • " on the 23d ult., M. DE REY NEVAL, the French Ambassador to the Spanish court, was grossly insulted at Aranjtez, where the QUEEN REGENT now resides—that he himself was pelted with stones, and that the glasses of his carriage were broken. The per petrators of this scandalous outrage were Gardes du Corps. The affair had, of course, created much sensation, particularly in the diplomatic circles. M. DE REYNEVAL despatched a courier to his court, on the 24th ult., with a representation of the insult. " At that date it was reported and believed that the Russian Minister accredited to the Spanish Court had re ceived peremptory letters of recall. The publication of the quadruple treaty of alliance was looked for with intense interest. The judicial division of the Spanish territory had just been concluded. There were to be 451 districts, in dependently of the four northern provinces. A chain of 400 facciosos and other offenders had just left Madrid for the galleys . A body of troops was being organised in Estremadura by General Figueras. It was reported that 12,000 31i guelite soldiers had passed over to General Rodil.

Sugden left town last night for Cambridge to renew his can vass of the constituents there, entertaining no small degree of confidence as to his ultimate success. The London and Southampton Railway Bill, now bef ore a com mittee of the House of Lords, seems to create much interest among their lordships ; so much so, that there is daily a very full attendance of peers. The Dukes of Wellington, Cumberland, Buccleuch, Sutherland, the Earls of Radnor, Rosslyn, Cawdor, &c., are constantly present. The remains of the late Vice-Admiral Plampin, who died lately at Florence, were brought to England last week, and interred at Wanstead. The Gallant Admiral was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral, at the flag promotion which took place at the Peace, and in Feb., 1817, he hoisted his flag on board the Conqueror, 74, as Commander-in-Chief on the' St. Helena and Cape stations. , This com mission, as one of the guardians of Napoleon, he held for the customary period of three years, during which the only disagreeable result of his duty was the neces sity of dismissing, by courtmartial, the surgeon of his own ship, for making c ommunications to the attend ants of the exiled Emperor. COURT OF CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) Clifton r. Cockbuni, Jones, and Powell, and several other cases, were ordered to stand over in consequence of Sir Edward Sugden's absence. • IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS BLAKE, A LUNATIC. Mr. BACON appeared in support of a petition presented in this matter by the sole next of kin and second cousin of the lunatic, praying that it might be referred to the Mas ter to inquire what, under the circumstances, should be allowed to the petitioner out of the lunatic's income. The petitioner stated that the lunatic was upwards of fifty years of age ; that he had been found a lunatic in 1829 ; that no hope was entertained he would ever be restored to a sound mind, and that the father of the lunatic, who died shortly before the finding of the lunacy, had been in the habit of allowing the petitioner the charitable sum of 181. per annum. These facts were supported by affidavit. The LORD CHA NCELLOR said that the order upon this petition could only be made in a very especial manner. It was a rare thing to find the characters of sole next of kin second cousin, a pauper, and an object of the family's charitable bounty for many years, all concentrated in one individual, and regard being had to these circum stances, he thought without any apprehension that the present order would operate as a mischievous pre cedent, the lunatic being a bachelor, and possessed of up wards of 8001. a-year, he might, regard being had to all these circumstances, safely: direct (and there being no evi dence that the lunatic had made a will before he became a lunatic) that the 18/. a-year should be continued to the petitioner ; and that the arrears of it should be paid from the period of the death of the lunatic's father. CLAYTON V. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Sir C. WETHERELL proceeded to reply in this case, which has now occupied several days in argument. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY. EX PARTE EYRE. In this case a rule had been obtained for a mandamus to compel the Company to assess damage done to the house. of Mrs. Eyre, in pulling down the adjoining house, pur suant to the provisions of the act under which the company had been incorporated. The COURT gave judgment this moining. On looking into the affidavits, it did not appear that the damage had been done in taking down the party wall of the adjoining house ; it had also been urged that the time for bringing the action had expired, and that the plaintiff was shut out by her own neglect. For these reasons, the. Court" was of opinion that the rule should be discharged.--Bule dis charged. - - - THOMAS v. WILLIAMS. This was an action of assumpsit brought by the plaintiff, for the recovery of his salary as merchant's clerk, tried be fore Chief Justice Denman. The defendant had pleaded the general issue, and an act of bankruptcy. Verdict for the plaintiff. A rule for a new trial had been moved for, on the ground that the act of bankruptcy was a dissolution of the contract. The Counr was of opinion that the case came within that humane provision of the act which enabled clerks and servants to recover the amount of wages due out of the bankrupt's estate. —Rule refused. BRIXTON AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OF HILL, I'. PRITCHARD. This case was tried before the CHIEF JUSTICE at Guild hall, and the question that came before the jury was, whe ther a sale of property by the bankrupt bill to the defend ant, was not a fraudulent one for the purpose of defeating the just claims of the creditors. The CHIEF JUSTICE aaid that the case having been rather a new one he had thought it right to adhere to the strict words oLthe act ; he was of opinion that the sale had been a fraudulent one, and, under his direction, the jury had found for the plaintiffs, with leave to move for a nonsuit. He was now satisfied that his first impres sion had been wrong, and he agreed with the opinion of the rest of the Court. If the sale was a bona fide one on the part of the defendant, the money paid by him to the bankrupt would be equally applicable to the purposes of the creditors. The defendant had no right, therefore, to return the pro perty until he had been repaid the money advanced by him. The Court, therefore, was of opinion that the rule for entering the nonsuit should be made absolute. THE ICING V. TWYFORD, ESQ., AND ANOTHER. In this case a rule had been obtained by Mr. Hill for a mandamus to compel the defendants, two magistrates of the county of Middlesex, to issue their warrant against the overseers of the parish of Tottenham for the levy of a cer tain rate, pursuant to the provisions of an act for the watch ing and lighting of the parish. Mr. CRESSWELL now appeared to show cause against the rule, on the ground that the provisions of the act had not been complied with. The CHIEF JUSTICE, after hearing the arguments, sug gested to have the matter tried by an issue before the rule was proceeded with further. This was assented to by the learned counsel on either side, and the rule was to be enlarged until after the trial of the issue. COMMON PLEAS- I ,THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice VADGIIAN•) DAVIDGE V. ABBOTT AND EGERTON. This was an action brought by Mr. Davidge, the late proprietor and lessee of the Coburg theatre (now the Vic toria), against Messrs. Abbott and Egerton, the present lessees of that theatre, for damages, in consequence of the breach of an agreement to let the theatre in March last to the plaintiff for one night, for the purpose of his having a benefit there. The RECORDER (with whom was Mr. Cresswell) stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff, and examined several theatrical characters as witnesses, to prove the damage he had sustained. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD addressed the jury on behalf of the defendants. Mr Justice VAUGHAN summed up. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.)

Spanish Stock is all alive this morning, and is the favou rite speculation, with a good deal doing. It has reached 43 1 /, owing to the prevailing opinion that the Carlists in Spain will meet the same fate as the Miguelites in Portu gal • that on hearing of Don Carlos being obliged to seek shelter in a foreign country they will disperse. There is no animation in the Portuguese Stock, which continues at 76 1 ,1 1 to 77. HALF-PAST TWELVE.

The former, which had reached 43 1 , has receded to 421 ; the letter, which was at 76% 3 / 4 , is at present 75. The speculators are supposed to be realizing their profits. According to the private letters from New York, every thing has a more favourable appearance, and money is more plentiful there HALF-PAST ONE. Consols continue steady, at 93 to 93% for the Account, with little doing. Spanish and Portuguese Stocks are the chief operations this morning, with a co ntinual fluctuation. The former in the early part of the day reached 43% ; afterwards re ceded to 42 ; a reaction took place, and they were again done at 42 3 / 4 to 43. Portuguese went down to 74 ; at present may be quoted 75 to 75M. A report prevails that Mr. Rothschild has the Spa nish Loan.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL. V. INGE. This case came before the Court upon an information filed by the Attorney-General, praying a reference to the Master to inquire whether the defendant Inge and a Mr. Goode were trustees of the charity in question within the meaning of the Act, that if the Master should find that they were, that they might be discharged, and that new trustees might be appointed. In the year 1530, a lady of the name of Swinerton left certain property for the benefit of the town of Coventry, and appointed twelve trustees for its management ; that number of trustees had been kept up from time to time since the gift, but at the present mo ment there were only two trustees, the defendants Inge and Goode surviving. The former gentleman was abroad, and Mr. Goode who was a gen tl eman o f f ortune , was de sirous to be relieved from the trust. The present infor mation, therefore, became necessary. His Hosoua made the order as prayed. ABSENCE OF SIR EDWARD SUGDEN. The other business of the Court could not be proceeded with in consequence of the absence of Sir Edward Sugden (who immediately after the moving of the writ for Cam bridge in the room of Mr. Spring Rice, set off for that place), and his Honour rose at half-past ten o'clock. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SITTINGS OF THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS. The following notice was put up in this Court to-day : " The Master of the Rolls will adjourn from Tuesday the 10th to Monday the 16th inst., when his Honour will swear in the solicitors, and hear causes, after which his Honour will again adjourn to the first seal. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron PARKE. ) W4,I.KER V. JONES. The Court was occupied with the above case, which was an action for false imprisonment, the whole morning. As the defendant's case only commenced at a late hour, we forbear giving it in an ex-parte form. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes after twelve o'clock. Upon the motion of Mr. CARTWRIGHT, the pro ceedings ift the Stoney-Stratford Bridge Bill were re sumed, and the bill was read a third time and passed. Lord R. MANNERS presented several petitions from the county of Leicester against the claims of the dissenters, and in support of the established church. Colonel WOOD presented a petition from the town of Brecon, in the county of Brecon, to the same effect, and a petition from an individual of the name of Richards, stating that he would suffer by . the passing of the Central Criminal Court Bill, and praying for compensation. Sir R. SIMEON presented a petition from members of the Established Church resident in the Isle of Wight, against the admission of dissenters to the universities. Mr. CAVENDISH took the oaths and his seat for North Derbyshire. Mr. H. HUGHES presented three petitions from the parishes of Holdnuck, Hishurst, and Leemarket, praying for some measure for the better observance of the Sabbath; also a petition from the parish of St. Martin, Oxford, against the admission of Dissenters to the universities. Mr. R. TREVOR presented a petition from two indi viduals of Carmarthen against a certain local toll bill, and a petition from Llangollen and Merthyr Tidvil, against the admission of dissenters to the Universities, and in fa vour of the established church. Sir G. STAUNTON presented a petition from Hampshire on the subject of the fisheries on that coast. The hon. member expressed a hope that some measure would be introduced to remedy the distress of the fisher men, as it would be an advantage not to the fishermen alone but to the public atlarge. After a few words from Mr. HALCOMBE, in support of the petition, it was ordered to lie on the table. Colonel CONOLLY presented a petition from Rath nain, in the county of Donegal, .praying for the appoint ment of a committee to inquire into the cause of the in crease of drunkenness. Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition from Dover to the same effect; also a petition from a parish in Wiltshire, in favour of the Established Church. Mr. METHUEN said, that the only way that the church could be preserved was by . reforming the abuses which had crept into it. They might as well attempt to stop the east wind as the progress of reform. (Hear.) Mr. PLUMPTRE then presented a petition from seve ral officers and privates of the British army, complaining of being obliged to attend at processions and other Roman Cathnhc ceremonies. The hon. member gave notice, that next weak he would bring before the house the case of an officer who had suffered great oppression in consequence of refusing to attend at a Roman Catholic procession in the island of Corfu. ( Hear, hear, ) Sir. H. VERNEY supported the prayer of the peti tion, and said that though he was anxious to preserve the strict discipline of . the army, he thought that the le gislature ought to continue to protect British soldiers from being obliged to attend at ceremonies, to which they had conscientious objections. After a few words from Lord MANDEVILLE and Mr. P. LALOR, the petitions were ordered to lie on the table. .•.• Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE presented a petition from the parish of St. Mary, Islington, against the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, and praying that it might be post poned till next session. The hon. and learned member said, as we understood, that he could not agree with the petitioners. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from 40 ministers of dissenting congregations, in and about London, praying for the total extinction of church rates ; also a petition from the Tower Hamlets, complaining of the power of summary conviction given to magistrates. After a few words from Mr. HALCOMB, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Capt. BERKELEY presented a petition from the Wes leyan methodists of Sunbury, for the abolition of beer shops and the better observance of the Lord's Day ; and a peti tion from Westbury, praying that the house would adopt some measures to compel the landlords of Ireland to sup port their own poor ; also a petition from Thornley, pray ing for the abolition of all compulsory payments for the support of religious worship. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he had been anxious to bring the question of Irish Poor Laws fairly before the house, but he had been driven from the question on several occasions. (Hear, hear.) He was, how , ever, still determined to redeem his pledge upon this subject. As long as poor laws were denied to Ireland,and the people of that country were suffered to starve in the midst of plenty, so long would the disgusting trade of agitation, if he might be allowed to use the term, flourish. If the government wished to put down agitation in Ireland they must do justice to that country, and must, above all, introduce a bill to regulate the system of poor laws. Sir G. STRICKLAND said the house stould be most cautious before it adopted any system of poor laws for Ireland, and be first satisfied as to the propriety of such a proceeding, and the efficacy of the measure proposed. Mr. RUTHVEN deprecated the delay which had taken place on this subject. A committee sitting up stairs was a mere delusion ; such a committee mi g ht be sitting in Ireland, where the best information would be at once obtained. Mr. FITZ SIMON supported the prayer of the petition. Ireland at this moment was in a state of the greatest dis tress, almost in a state of general starvation. Mr. FINN contended that poor laws would not benefi Ireland while her gentry were non-resident, and their wealth and moral influence entirely drawn away from that unhappy country. He had no objection to a labour rite of 2s. in the pound on all the property of Ireland, but he was decidedly hostile to the introduction of poor laws into Ireland. was ß p r e v s e e r n y t e dpetitionsheavy,d f r o o u m g h p t a r t sh b e e s removed. in the county of Mao for the repeal of the union, and others from Cork, Tipperary, &c., against tithes. He came to that house on the last night of debate to witness the humiliation of the late Secretary for the Colonies, but he witnessed, on the contrary, his exaltation, for he discovered that hon. gentleman had acted on principle ; but he could not say so much for his colleagues ; and, however the Ministers might place confidence in the ma jority of that night, he thought it ought to be attributed to the inconvenience many hon. members would feel in meet ing their constituents, and the prevalence of a fear that there would be a general break-up of the Ministry. (Hear, hear, hear.) He complained of the conduct of the present half reformed Government towards Ireland as being unjust and cruel. It was impossible that agitation should cease in Ireland, while the present system of tithes was suffered to continue. He was for the total destruc tion of tithes, and he now declared before that house that he would never pay tithe& any more. Nothing, he feared, could be expected from the poor, crippled, and pu sillanimous ministry that remained in their places, upon sufferance only, tossed upon the troubled waters of uncer tainty. He was satisfied that nothing would do now but a complete radical administration. (Laughter.) The hon. member then presented a petition from the brewers of Surrey against the proposed alteration in the beer act. Major BEAUCLERK supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. FINN 'said he never supported the present minis try, but he thought they had been misled by the contradic tory statements made by the Irish members in that house. The preponderance of catholics in numbers over the prc-. testants in Ireland, was thought by some'to be exaggerat. and by others to be estimated too low, and the.rffeol,eor n .. 71 was glad the commission had been appointed, Old greatest facility would be afforded to that commission y every hon. member. Mr. POTTER thought it an extraordinary thing that a member of parliament should declare in that house that he would not obey the law of his country, and he feared the effect of such a declaration Open the people of Ireland would not be a very happy one. (Hear.) under i‘ri RU markedT H religiousV objected sects as t o the a r al e enumeration legislation, ad did not think any goo d e ff ec t wou ld r esult from the com mission, for that reason. Mr. SINCLAIR wished to know whether the bon. member for Cork would pay land-tax instead of tithes? He could see no difference between the right of church pro perty and the right of pri va t e property; and should take an invasion of that right as a downright robbery. Ile held the established church to be the greatest blessing the coun try had, and he believed the cry of the dissenters for the removal of grievances, was all a pretence, and that their object was to subvert the church. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he should not be satisfied with any tithe bill till the protestants of Ireland supported their own church. He would destroy that church as far " supported by catholics, and he repeated that he vr° ° ' not only ot onll rouse aL y ots chve n eeootmhoAmeartoßpher popular ,st tithes,aandilidaicdrh justicet thehae b etl i v ah t s guot h conoh e .ft hlag w ar teed o lnce u atoca l l d itedianmrata s arg t tny r iad a i, na i to n st:k e tash t e e tni rj : I w u .i n a this nerves oA t l i al l rti. entemrri.ngFt.hoat,choouNseN, O'CONNOR — Just m he e w ie o m ul i d nd do yo n u oth l i e : t ; subvert the Established Church, or to disturb the Protest ant Religion and Government in the united kingdom* " stanch protestant and not a catholic. (Hear, hear , °- laughter.) Mr. HALCOMB said then the declaration was th e more to be regretted. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented a p e titi on w hich be said he had had some ti me i n hi s h ands, which he regr etted t° be compelled t o present. It was from widow Bush of the county of Mallow, whose . husband voted at the late elec tion, and was immediately arrested by the other can and thrown into prison, in which he died. The petitioner prayed for the introduction of vote by ballot. Mr. JEPHSON as a gentleman, valuing his c ha racter as a landlord in Ireland, said, that in the same eir" cumstances he should act in the same way again. housev/as an absurd and nonsensical thing to occupy. the .... with this trumpery piece of election business. man, who had been in his service many ye t u t become unfit for Usual duties, and he (Mr. J.) the P him to breaking sticks.

Having thus stated the facts without concealing anything, he would reiterate, that he would act in the same way again. (Hear.) H e affr eed with the hon. member, that the case was one which showed the necessity of the ballot. can didate After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY and Mr. Ft rise the petition was laid on the table. Mr. JARVIS presented a petition from the city of Chester, praying that the affairs of the county rate may be administered in open court, and one from the same city against certain clauses in the Poor Law Amendment After the presentation of some few other petitions far and against the claims of dissenters, &c., it being thre e o'clock the Speaker left the chair.
