PRICE SE\-FiNPNeg.,' SUSSEX COUNTY HOSPITAL and GENERAL SEA BATHING INFIRMARY, "to be opened to the Poor of ANY COUNTY OR NATION when suffering under Sickness or casual Injury. rrliE COMMITTEE appointed at a Public Meeting, held under the sanction of the Right Honour able the Earl of Egremont, Lord Lieutenant of the County, on the .11th of December, 1824, for the purpose of establishing a Sussex County Hospital, and General Sea Bathing Infir mary, having selected, and been this day authorized to pur chase an eligible site for the edifices, feel it incumbent on them to submit to the Nobility and Gentry of the County, and to the Public generally, a brief statement relative to the objects pro posed to be effected by the establishMent of the Institution. The original object contemplated by the friends of the mea "ate, was to procure for those among the labouring classes of the County of Sussex, who might be suffering under sicknesS 1), casual injury, the same means of restoration to health, winch the poor of almost every other county in England, have VIII; been in the habit of deriving from sithilar institutions. qith this primary object it is ,designed.to - tornbine the benefits, tn . a General Sea-Bathing Infirmary ; and as the Town of' Brighton, by its proximity to the metropolis, by the unusual Yacilities of approach towards - it feoni - ran the southern parts of the kingdom, by the salubrity of its situation, and by the num.: her and respectability of the medical practitioners connected with its extensive population, affords .advantages for such an institution, unattainable in any other town on the Coast ; the advocates of the Sussex County Honpital would not be dis charging their duty to the public, unless by endeavouring to make these advantages available, as extensively as posSible, to the relief of those thousands among the poor; who suffer from diseases which can only be effectually alleviated by sea-air and sea-bathing. • With respect to the funds requisite for attaining these bene volent and desirable objects, the Committee have briefly to state, that the estimated - expence for the completion of a buil& ing to contain 60 patients, including the purchase of the ground, does not exceed 12,000/. ; that the annual expendi ture of such an institution would be about 1,701)1.; and that in such an establishment 500 in-patients, and many hundreds more than that number of out-patients might be annually ad mitted.. Towards the purchase of the land, and the erection. of the edifice, nearly 8,000/. have already been subscribed. The subjoined is the proposed scale of privilege to subscribers, for the recommendation of patients, subject to the revision of the Governors; and the - Committee submit these remarks to pub lic notice, in the full confidence, that the • contributions which are all times liberally afforded to the calls of humanity, will enable them immediately to proceed with their labours, anti to perfect the work committed to that; charge.

MARY QUEEN. OF sCO'IN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN SIR-I have always believed, and can declare from experi ence, that the hardships of that class of beings called Authors, are, froM the nature of their avocations, sufficiently severe in themselves, without being aggravated by external matters, which frequently, upon-the most trivial grounds, or, probably, a foundation of shadows, step in, and interrupt, and perhaps destroy, the peace of a mind that has no disposition to wound the minds of others. I am - led to such reflections by the. appearance of an anony mous and really slanderous pamphlet which has just issued from the press. with a title, as well calculated to shew the viru lence of a malignant and little mind, as, I am told by lawyers, it will hereafter illustrate to a Jury, the necessity of our Libel -1 Laws. The Pamphlet is entitled "A D!teetion," &c., and in it I am made a thief and a forger, and a dealer in fiction ; and all this by some slanderer, who, ashamed of his own meanness, - and the filthy work he has commenced, hides himself behind a tree, and there commences Bush-fighting, where he cannot be seen by the party whom heassails !—but continues to throw his poisonous tomahawks, and fire off his rifles with impunity. • What a brave man !--what a gentlemanlike and generous oppo nent I am called on to contend with ! But, Mr. Editor, I hate buslotighting-- . -I have shared in some warfare of that villainous nature in the woods of America, and in those a Africa, during some years of honourable and useful public service ; and Must tell my Calumniator that, as I have given my name to the public, I hold him too contemptible to do more than to notice his pamphlet, which is a distortion of truth, false quotations, and slanderous assertions, from title-page to conclusion ; and by these agents he has drawn in aid my edition of the lave Letters, for the purpose, APPARENTLY, of giving them to the • public, for 3s.' while my edition, with the illustrations, cost 12s. a sure mode of pilling. down my work, in which property to the amount of several hundred pounds is invested. Through the columns of your Paper, which is always open to the suppliant of -justice, I have to request the public to sus pend their judgments—ad interim—and I promise myself to lose no Opportunity, nor to relax in my endeavours, to drag this calumniator before a jury of his country, and prove what I have declared in the The Preface to the Love Letters of Mary Queen of Scots—that I have taken no advantage of the public in their publication--but that I have really told all 1 knew, or know, about diem in that massy volume ! By the insertion of this letter you will most particularly oblige, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, February, 11325. H. CA M PBEeLL. ' The price of the Pamphlet, in which they are printed verbatim. In the discussion on the II ydra had Papers at the India House, the main question seems to he----Was the - Interest on the Loan to the Nizam Government, moderate, or immoderate ?. This must entirely depend on the Security at the time of advancing the Loan ; for Interest is composed of two. parts ; One for the use of Money, the other •as Insura nce against Risk ; and under the precarious State of some Governments, 50 per Cent. fora Loa n wou ld b e no more U sur i ous than 4 per Cent. if advanced on the National Se curity of England. The great Surprize of Fo reigners, is, that in this Country, although the payment is guranteed hy Government, yet any Person who pays less than 201. in buying.a Lot tery Ticket, can gain 20,0001. in a few Weeks, and have the Money on demand, as in the pre sent Schenn of Four Prizes of '20,0001. &c. &c.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. OIL GAS BILL Mr. S. IT LIR1•1:ki) znoved the' second rearing of the Bill. Mr. P. AIOORE mov..d the postponement to this day *ix months.

The amendment wag supportA by Alderman BrtraGE Mr. FIUME renev.-ed his amend ner.t •of laSt year, that the lion.

Never was a bill brought into the Ilotise in so barefaced a man ner as that in which this bill - Was intro,' teed last year. Per sons holding shares tb the amount of stl 9001. had voted for it. Now the shareholders were !Wire. numerous, and they hoped to carry the measure in a different - manner. The lion. Gentleman concluded by moving —" That this bill be read a second time this day six mon t h s ." Mr. MANNING. seconded the motion. - lie saw no neces sity whatsoever for those project) -,-1 duck. The London Dock afforded sufficient acCommodatiOn to late commercial world. The London Dock Company had expended 1)0,001. on that establishment. They had 13 acres of land, arid if additional accommodation were required, they could furnish it. Mr- WA lA, CE expressed himself strongly in favour of the Bill. The parties-who nought for:Atiwanted rite exc.:ll4)le advantages. AU tires wished.for writ ertearot open ton)rietition. They had not brought forward the, measure lightly. It had undergime the most mature consiihration. It was fit, that in a great commercial country, there should be competition in under takings of this description. Accommedation, and that of th'e best kind, :should be given to their tnerchant-ve? , sels, and that would be best obtained through the„mettiam of open compe tition. Much had been said about the accommodation afforded by the London Dock Company, but why ,slibuld they have a monopoly ? The fact was, that those who opposed the Bill were afraid of losing the gains which they realized by the enjoy ment of a monopoly. Sir J. YORKE said, he took a very different view of the subject hunt that which had been taken by the kight Ilon. President of the Board of Trade. If the House would not hear the speech of the- Right Hon. Gentleman, there was very: little chance that it would listen to him at that particular juncture, which Gentlemen were more intent upon making a good dinner than upon makings good speech.—(A laugh.)--,- He would advise Gentlemen to keep theta money against a rainy. • day, instead of trying to ruin each other by embarking in all sorts of projects. lie wished to give every prnteetion to the mercantile marine of this country. lie was anxious that the Thames, which was the high road to these docks, should be_ kept as clear as possible. that ships might pass up and down the river with as little difficulty as coaches passed through the streets. But he thought the Right Hon. Gentleman eras not quite correct in thinking that there was not sufficient dock room already. When he saw the number of Bills which were called for, and which were enumerated in the paper printed with their votes, he felt that there was a clashing of-interests, which was likely to end in the ruin of different parties. There were com panies of all descriptions : companies to bring salt water front ririghton, and air from Bognor—(A laugh)—Companies.. " To bring airs from Heaven, anti blasts from Hell." (Laughter.) When he saw this—when he observed the variety of clashing interests that were concerned, -he fell back on his own resources, on the principles of his own unconquered mind laugh)—and he seriously asked himself, whether the gen._ tlemon who thus employed their capital were in the right. In his opinion theY'were not and therefore he should oppose the Bill. Mr. 11. SU3INER said he should support the Bill. He thought that competition was in every commercial concern a very good thing; he had no doubt that if the proposed docks were to be laid aside, the existing companies would raise their prices. For this reason, although he was no subscriber to the measure, nor in any other way interested in it, he should be very glad to see it carried. • Mr. GRENFELL replied. He said, that the only .opposi tion which had been made to the measure had proceeded from those who were interested in the present Dock'Companies. lie had no doubt that an overwhelming majority would prove the sense which the House entertained of the justice and expe diency of the Bill. Mr. PLUMM ER was understood to oppose the Bill. • Mr. C. PELHAM said a few words, which were inaudible In the gallery. the operation of . .the Bill in th e particular place which was se- Mr. C. B. MONCK objected, n o t t o t h e pr i nc ipl e , b u t to leeted for the erection of the docks. The parish contained ii or 10,000 persons, who were chiefly employed in the lighters on . the River, and they would be deeply injured it' it were carried into effect. He objected also to the sacrilegious exhumation of the ashes of the dead, 'which must be a consequence of it. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said, that a large number of the inhabitants of the parish of Bermondsey had consented to the measure, and almost , the whole body of merchants and ship-owners were unanimously in favour of it. lie heartily concurred with the Bill. Sir R. FERGUSSON said, there was not an out-port in the whole country which did not, with good reason, complain of the 'London Docks. Ile saw no possible Objection to the ro .posed Bill. Mr. Alderman HEVGATE *said, there was in his opinion at present as much competition as was advantageous, without a ny new docks. , Mr. ELLICE said he was instructed from Dublin, the merchants of which - port had not at present sufficient accom modation in the London Docks, to support the-Bill. The House then d ivided, whe n the numbers appeared to be— For the second reading, 118 Against it, - - - 30 - Majority in favour of the second reading, .--88 :Nit.. M.

BOUNDARIES OF COUNTIES. Mr. F. PALMER rose to move for leave to bring in a Bd . to empower Magistrates at Quarter SeSsions to effect exchanges, .betstreen counties of insulated parcels of land, for the more con venient administration of justice: The Hon. Member spoke at. some length in support of his motion, and of the immediate ne cessity of a Bill being passed to obtriate the many and various ncomieniences now existing; but the Hon:- Member was so i audible to us, that we could not' catch . his particular argu- . IT ants ' or their immediate order and sequency ; but we under \ s ad him generally to say, that immense saving would be gained for counties, and great inconveniences removed from in dividuals, and much service done to the administration of jus-, tine by these exchanges. The Hon. Member mentioned seve ral parcels of land in several counties subject to these inconve niences ; but he chiefly rested his arguments on certain insu lated parcels of land belonging to parishes in various counties, where Magistrates found it very difficult to execute justice. He wished all these evils completely to be removed ; and he searched into every spot anti did every thing •in his - power to make 'himself master 'of the subject ; . but he had higher autho rity than his own to support his motion—the approval of the Lord Chancellor, who thought there was a necessity for such a measure. lle wished certain parcels of land in she county of Wilts should be placed under the authority of the Magistrates of the county of Berks. lie also wisheal that the County Courts should sit monthly in the most convenient places, and that She riffs should . cons t a ntlrreside. in their counties. Many might !ay this Bill was a novelty, and helpew there was much aver sion to novelties at present. H owever there were precedents to spew the utility ofohis Bill; and therefore he would, with the sanction of the House, move for leave to briog in a Bill, em powering Magistrates to effect. exchanges •of parcels of land between counties, for the more convenient administration of justice. Mr. PEEL said it was his intention to oppose the Bill. The Hon. Member had not explained the nature or clauses of or 1 what he definitively intended by his-Bill. As to attached por tions of Wilts being in future attached to Berks, subjected .to the rates and subsidies and Magistracy of that county—suppose an extensive gaol were to be built in Berks, would it not be very heavy on these individuals in Wiltshire, except it could be_ said, if they were to be transferred to Berkshire there might - be no gaol in Wilts ? The Hon. Member would find himself hampered with considerable difficulties to give any effect to,this Bill. Ile knew not well how Magistrates could make these ex changes. lie thought it should not refer to exchanges. The Hon. Member had spoken nothing of elective franchise, •or in what manner he intended it to be transferred. He made no mention of the Assessed Taxes. Now these considerations were of the greatest moment—of the most importance. He wished that the Bill should be brought in on a general prin ciple. Mr. F. PA LAIER said, in die case of the elective franchise he did not intend that any thing in his Bill should apply to it at present before the general election, and not till a year after wards. He then spoke of stuns that would be saved to coun ties in the expellees of sending prisoners to different gaols by his Bill. Ile felt the necessity of this Bill ; however, he owned he saw some impropriety, which be said tie. did every thing - , he could to remedy ; but to no great purpose. He then ex plained to Mr. Peel. Mr. PEEL said it was not necessary. He had only alluded to the local matters of Wiltshire and Berkshire, anti would give no more opposition in the present state of the Bill. Sir S. MO RLAN I) thought the hest _way would 'be to ap-. point Commissioners to inquire into the entire subject. 1 Mr. CALVERT thought that if any benefit could be effect -1 ed,hy such a Bill, that benefit should be for the inhabitants Of i certain districts, and the general accommodations of the people. However, he feared in these exchanges the lion. Member would - find much difficulty, and by them he would be very much hum tiered in his Bill. ' • , The question was then put and agreed to. .. CHURCH RATES IN IRELAND. Sir J. NE W PORT rose to move fora Bill to amend Parish Vestries in Ireland, and the mode in which they levied church ratOs in that country. The present system should not continue ; it owned no responsibility,. and was founded upon tyranny; there was no controul over -those rates ; and it, the present anomalous and religious state of Ireland, the existence of the present system was cslculatesl to excite the worst ft-clings, and disturb the peace of the country. There was painshle and great injustice at present, wheri Catholics who - contributed to those rates could have no voice in their disposal. In the reign of King William and Queen Anne Catholics sate upon Vestries, arid it was not till the reign of George I. that privilege was taken away ; and that in the very Parliament which made it a felony for a Catholic Priest to marry two individuals of the Protestant persuasion; or one individual of the Protestant faith to another of the Catholic. It would appear front the returns of the Archbishops and BiShops,that in some cases the Church was twenty miles distant from the boun dary of the parish ; it was consequently impossible- for the parishioners to have access to it. He last year moved for cer tain returns of parish rates in Ireland, which had since been furnished, and were above stairs. They were exceedingly vo luminous : he should therefore refer to a few striking facts con tamed in them, to prove the necessity of the bill he proposed to introduce. The Right Hon. Baronet here referred in illus. tration to the returns in question, deducing from them proofs of gross misconduct of parish vestries in Ireland, - sheaving that in many instances the allowances to parish otiicers considerably exceeded the maximum fixed by the statute law, which law the vestries were in the habit of evading, or setting at complete de fiance. -Among the cases quoted were the parishes Of Thurles.; county Tipperary ; of St. Petrick, county Wexford ; of Tuam, which was the scat of a cathedral ; of St. Peter, Drogheda ; in which gross negligence and most extravagant expenditure was countenanced in the supply of articles for these churches, .and in the over-payment of parish clerks or organists, or other officers, while the great majority (in some cases 19-20ths) of the persons rated were unfortunate Roman Catholics, who con sequently derived no advantage front such expenditure. similar returns were moved for by him respecting the parish of St. George, Dublin, in which a church had lately been erected; which cost no less a sum than 57,000/., :the original estimate having been only 16,0007. ; but the trustees, under whose direc tion the church had been erected, were the auditors of their own accouats, and refused to supply even to the CoMmissioners of Public Inquiry the documents required.—( Hear !)--For these reasons he deemed the bill, to move for leave to introduce which he had risen, was absolutely necessary. The objets of his bill • were to render every parishioner, without rcf'erence to his religious ttenets, generally competent to vote at vestries, re serving, however, to the Protestant parishioners the exclusive right to apportion the sums necessary for the building and maintenance of the Church ; and to limit the business of Ves tries to that specifically described in the summons for such Ves tries. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by moving—" That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the laws respecting Parish Vestries and Assessments in Ireland, with a view -to provide for the effectual controul and due expenditure of all Pa rochial Rates." Mr - . GOULBURN rose, not to oppose the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet, as nothing was better calculated to re move objections to the payment of assessments than the convic tion that they would be properly applied. But while he ex pressed his willingness to assist the Hight Hon. - Baronet in the attainment of that object, he begged to be understood to say, that every thing necessary for the support of the Church in Ireland must be secured. No doubt abuses would be found in many cases, - htit he knew that in some instances the amount of parish assessments had been enlarged by including in them grants for repairs of Roman Catholic Chapels and Presbyterian given to bring in' the -houses.—(Hear !)—Leave was LAW OP LANDLORD AND TENANT. Sir-HENRY PARNELL rose to bring in a Bill to amend the present state of the law between landlord and tenant in Ireland ; and trusted that be should chew the faults of the existing system so clearly as to have little to apprehend in the Way of opposition. He agreed entirely in all that had been urged, both in the House and out of it, against the practice of subdividing - farms. This practice had a tendency to in crcase the existing mass of population, and therefore, by •con sequence. still to deteriorate its! condition. The value of .la hour in Ireland was already tar too low. It was scarcely possible for the agricultural labourer to sustain himself at an Average rate of less than . Is. per d-ay.; the present value of his work, according to the Report of the Committee of quiry, scarcely amounted to 4d. It was a d m i tte d that the population or Ireland had increased in a greater proportion t han her capital; and on e of t he difficulties of her presets . . situation' wag, that. of finding, etriplOyment for this indreis.v.l popillation.'' The great difference 'befFeen the 'sit4tititl of 14q land and of other countries was; ythitt th'e timers AO 'pos sessed large or even small portions of land, w'et-e in the habit of bequeathing thearat their death in subtlivislors aniori . gst their children. 'Phis was one tnittie early inarrittapi. that; connected with their living on potatoes, and the cheep mode in which that kind of food might be I,roNfed..; per dered the population of Ireland the most tiunterous . (for Ls size) as well as - the most wretched'Of any country in Europe. This practice of subletting and sUbdiiiision of lard's in many other respects productive of very great mcoriveni;:ic the country, but he would not row go into the lie would, it the House gave him leave, brEtieip his Bill, let the whole subject he afterwards' fully examind before tir. , Copirnittee up stairs. He condtided by moving for 'leave' to bring in a Bill to amend the lavrof Ireland reintinglo the stt'o-,:_ letting of tenements. After a tew words from Mr. N. Car.vEnT,' which were not audible in thegsllery, Mi. HUME thought the propostid - bill would be in in ference with the disposal of property according to the ple.a.s4rl ofi,t,s' owner.: -Air J. NXWVORT said the bill would hive no such eff . ;ct, •It was riotleiisl,erfore with any bargains or contract fbr..proper tY; but to giV . k.eue efreCt to those already in existence, iien4 the testimony of very many gentlemen to prove that the greati-st difficulty was found in the 'enforcing the clauses' of leases, to prevent the subdivision and.. under letting of land ; and could givemany instances where land, let some 20 or 2.5 yr.irs ago to one or two individuals, by several bequests and dctuisys, was now so subdivided, and had got into so many bands as lo be very materially deteriorated in value. After a few words from Mr. DENS rs BnowNE and a Metz:- bet whose name we did not hear, leave was given to bring . the Bill. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE IN IRELAND. Sir H. PARNELL rose to subritit another motion, of which he had given notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to e .gulate the office of Justice'of Peace in Ireland. He did not‘:re. tend to enter on this occasion into any detail as to the conduct of the Magistracy of that country, but he thought that sotne measure was necessary to follow up and enforce the excellent regulations - respecting the Magistrates which had been intro duced by the Marquis Wellesley. One of the great evils which that Noble Lord had tried to remedy was, that of Magistrates acting in their private houses, instead of holding Courts of Petty Sessions,- a practice front which the most injurious come ! . quences had proceeded. Independently of this e he thought it necessary that the number of Magistrates should be restricted, so 'as to get rid of many at present in the commission who were unfit for that situation. In the propriety or the regulatio:'s which had already taken place, he entirely concurred ; but. he thought they had not gone far enough. • It was, he knew, Ob jected, that if all who were unfit were removed, there would not be enough to do the business of the country ; but if the objec tion had any weight, the way in which the evil. might be reme died was not by appointing persons wholly unfit for the duties of the office. He won't! not state to the House the extent of ge regulations which 'might he introduced. He was anxious that the leave for bringing in - the Bill might be a sort of pledge that further should be done on this subject ; but what the nature of the precise remedy should be, he would leave. in the hands of the Committee appointed to bring in the Bill, as« tisfied that they would sugg es t suc h reme di es as wou ld f a irly 'meet the circumstances of the case. lie thought the oies, ought to go farther than the lash Government had done,' and that some new principle should be laid down in the appoint. ment of Irish Magistrates. The Honourable Baronet con eluded by moving for leave to bring in the Pill. Mr. GOULBURN said, he would not oppose the motion, but he begged that his asSent on this occasion might not be considered. as a pledge to support the measure when introduced. Indeed, there were some clauses in the intended Bill, to whiell (if report spake truth of them) be could not give his assent e as he did not think they would be for the benefit of that countsy. This was a subject which he could assure the House had been under the consideration of the Irish Government. Persons bad been sent into the different counties with insUucticaet to awake inquiries on this subject: Their reports had been sub mitted to the judges of the land, and the reason why no mea sure had been introduced upon them was, that it was - not con- sidered expedient at the present time. But he could assure the House, that where soy cases had occurred which called for the interference of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, he had dis charged the difficult and invidious task in a manner likely, to be highlybenefietal to the interests of justice. Sir J. NEWPORT begged to suggest in the proposed Bill the substitution of Lieutenants and Deputy-lieutetants, 'instead of the Governor's and Sub-governors of counties in Ireland.. Ile wished to see the plan :.imilated to that of England, where the Lords Lieutenants of. Counties were anSwerable to the flonie Office. In Ireland the power was subdivided among a varikty , of hands without having any relrular responsibility. • After a few word in support of the - Bill fruria Member tinder the gallery, whose name we•did not hear. Mr. S. RlCE'said, if by this bill it was intended to intro duce paid officers among the Magistracy, he should deprecate it as having a most injurious tendency. •4' Mr. GRATTAN was sorry the lion. Baronet (Sir H. Fur nell) had not been more explicit with respect to the present and the former measure, as they were of very considerable imphrt ance. As far as he understood the present bill calculated' to produce a regular attendance at petty sessions, he would g.iv , it his support. Mr. R. S. CAREW bore testimony to the excellent conduct of the Magistrates of the county which he represented (Wex -lordshire). After a few words in explanation from Sir H. PARNEL,L. Mr. L. FOSTER did not (as we understood him) ixiiich admire the practice of introducing specific Measures into 'the house, upon which a Committee up stairs was sitting, "and upon which it had not yet reported. With respect to the elThe: of the proposed bill, he thought that if it sanctioned the intio• duction of a paid officer as an assisrant to the Magistrates at petty sessions, that officer not being a Magistrate, it, wouid have a most injurious effect. Lord MILTON expressed his surprise that any Member should object to the introduction of a particular measurtrivith respect to Ireland, because there was a Committee on the' gene ral state of that country sitting up stairs. Such a doctrine would place the whole government of Ireland in the power of the'Com mittee for the time being. Ile thought. if the Bill were proVM to be necessary, it should be judged with reference to its own merits, and not to the labours of a Committee up stairs. After a few words front Captain O'Gnmar, who Prais'ed e. „th zeal and activity of the Magistrates of Limerick, the question was put, and leave given to bring in the Bill. PUBLIC SEWERS. N - On the motion of Sir R._ HERON, leave was given to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to Public Sewers. ', • , UNLAWFUL SOCIETIES (IRELAND) BILL.. Mr. II l 'SKISSON moved the Order of the Day fur .th,:. commitment of this Bill. ..• On the question that the Speaker do leave the Chair, Mr. lIV ME rose for the purpo,4e of subinittii4 a resolution by way of it!struction to' the Committee. Ire had from tht first introduction of this measure felt that it was unjust,tp wards the Association against which it was directed, and crud to the great body of the people of Ireland. One of the evils by which that unhappy country was afflicted was the practice of introducing Bills on every occasion. They had Bills on all sides of the House to patch sonic part of a bad system, ,in stead of adopting a general measure which would go at once to the root of the evils. The present was one of those iDatchirg Bills. No one had ever attempted to say that it Would..reinOY the present system in Ireland. It was introduced witliquA #::,-Y_ evidence of its necessity. The only evidence given emi_ . ' . `, verbal statements of one or two Members at one side,ryfiii7 were most flatly denied and contradicted in every.
