A curiosity in literature has just appeared; a little work, of which the writing, the music, and the pictorial designs, are all by the same person, and that person a royal lady. The Ex- Queen of Holland, now known by the title of the Duchess of St. Leu, is the poet, musician, and painter, to whom we allude. The book is such as might be expected from the daughter of the most pleasing woman, and the sister of the most gallant cavalier (Prince Eugene) of the age."—Times. Published for H. Colburn by R.

" The commencing parts of the work having been honoured by the approbation and encouragement of his late Majesty and other Members of his Royal House, it was with deep regret the Author, from a succession of causes, found himself unable to fulfil his intentions, and gratify his own ambition, by the earlier completion of these Memoirs of the most important modern events of Ireland. In many of those events he was himself a not unimportant actor. He po•sessed also the advantage of individual intimacy or acquaintance with the most celebrate 1 personages of all parties ; without which, and the fidelity of a contemporary and independent pen, the delineation of their characters, and the record of their conduct, if not lost for ever, and thereby leaving a wide chasm in a highly-interesting epocha of British History, would have descended to posterity with im. perfect details, and an ambiguous authenticity."—Preface.

On the Earl Of SHA FTESBURY taking his seat on the woolsack, at five o'clock, Mr. TOOKE and others brought up the Birmingham and London Railway Bill, the amendments of their Lord ships being agreed to ; the Imperial Continental Gass Bill, and other private Bills. The Earl of JERSEY presented petitions for the aboli don of slivery. Lord DACRE presented petitions to the same effect. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented similar pal dons from Derby, Dungarvon, and other places. Also a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Waterford, complaining of the monopoly of the steam-packets. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition for the abolition of slavery from Leeds. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from Brigham for the better observance of the Sabbath. A NOBLE Loma presented a petition to the same iffect from Brighton. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from Edinburgh, praying that compensation may be given to the West Indian planters, if the emancipation of the slaves was carried into effect. Lord SUFFIELD presented fifty petitions for the total and immediate abolition of slivery. The Duke of NORFOLK presented a petition from Shoreham to the same effect. The Archbishop of YORK presented several petitions from Yorkshire to the same effect. The unexpected length and importance of the business in the House of Commons, has compelled us to let our Lords' Report of this evening stand over. The greater part of the papers moved for by Lord ABERDEEN were granted by Earl GREY, without op position. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his seat a few minutes after five. AIr.O'CONNELL said, as the report of the evidence t iken before the Carrickfergus Election Committee was n .w printed, he should feel himself warranted in bringing f rward a Bill for disfranchising that borough. He begged to move that the issuing of the writ be suspended until the la- June. Lord ALTHORP would suggeet, that instead of the Ist June the time be limited at present to the 20th May. Mr. O'CONNELL consented to fix the 22d May, to which period the writ was ordered to be suspended. Mr. O'CONNELL begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. S. Rice), why the Irish popula tion returns which he had moved for were not prin►ed ? Mr. S. RICE said he should have the ;nformation as early as possible. DUTCH EMBARGO. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON stated, that in conse quence of the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs having intimated that, from his recent and severe indisp he did not feel equal to going into any lengthened dis cussion, it was his (Mr. Alderman Thompson's) intention, though with regret, to withdraw his motion, calling the attention of the House to the injury sustained by the em bargo on the commerce between Great Britain and Hol land. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH. Mr. GILLON, seeing the Uunder Secretary of State for the Home Department in his place, wished to know whether the unsuccessful candidate (Mr. Liston) had offered the same terms to Mr. Russell, the retiring Pro— fessor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, which Mr. Sims, the successful candidate, had done. The appointment had given great dissatisfaction to the inha bitants of Edinburgh. Mr. LAMB did not think he ought to state the terms which had b.en offered by the unsuccessful candidate, anti therefore declined to answer the question. CONSTANTINOPLE. Mr. HUME postponed his question relative to the fo reign policy at Constantinople till Monday, in consequence of the continued indisposition of Lord Palmerston. ADMIRALTY JUDGE. Mr. HUME said that on a previous evening he had called the attentio❑ of the House to the filling up of the Judgeship of the Admiralty Court. He had now to express a hope that that office would not be filled up until the opinion of the House had been taken with regard to the proper salary to be given. It was now, he believed, 2,5001. a year, independent of fees, which was generally thought to be too high. MiLord ALTHORP observed that the duties of the office were very light during peace, but heavy in times of war. The question was under the consideration of the Govern ment, and it would probably be their duty to submit some measure to the House on the subject. Mr. J. JARVIS wished, as there was a rumour of a vacancy in the Court of Exchequer, to know whether it was the intention of Government to fill that vacancy up, or whether in the Bill about to be brought in it W 24 in tended to abolish one of the judgships. Lord ALTHORP said he was not at all aware of any such anticipated vacancy. TAXATION. Mr. COBBETT rose to make a complaint on be half of the working classes both of England, Scot land, and Ireland, of impartiality in regard of taxation, a complaint, on their part, that heavy stamp duties and auction duties, where imposed upon them, while the richer part of the community escaped. Before he proceeded in his statement, he desired to make an observation or two on the reflections that had been thrown out against him from time to time, on the assumption that he desired to set the poor against the rich. If a man in that House was never to say the poor were il:-treated—if he was never to put forwird the claim of the poor against the rich, then indeed would that House prove to be con stituted of the representa , ives of the rich and not of the poor. He complained that of eight millions of taxes, raised from the pockets of the people, (including the oosts of oolle,tion,) a very small portion indeed were paid by those who were able lo pay them, and than which nothing could be snore unjust or more calculated to give dissatisfaction to the working classes of society. The Hon. Gentleman then read the following resolutions, occasionally commenting upon them as he proceeded.:.-- '° Resolved—That an impost, which according to the letter of the law imposing it, is made to press with greater weight on one man, or on one class of men, is, properly speaking, not a tax, but a confiscation, and the law itn. posing it is, if properly defined, a penal law, such as were the laws imposing double taxes on the Catholics of Eng land, and on the Quakers of the United States of America; and that, when one part of the community is compelled to pay a tax, from which another part of that some commu nity, having the same or greater means, is wholly exempt. ed, there is a clear and undeniable confiscation ; and that, if such confiscation be inflicted without crime domtnitted by, and proved upon, the party on whom it is infl cted, such confiscation is an act of tyranny. " That, by the Act of Parliament passed on de 11 th of July, 1815, being chap. 184. of the 55th of Geo. 111., and by the Act passed on the sth of August, 1 522, being chap. 117 of the 3d of Geo. IV., imposing certain duties on stamps, amounting annually, in the aggregate, to up wards of seven millions a-year, the utmost care has been taken to exempt the nobility and great landed proprietors from bearing any but a very small share of the burden; and further, to make the tax heavier and heavier, in pro portion to the smallness of the amount of property on which it is levied ; so that each tax goes on, pressing heavier and heavier, from the very rich down to the very poor, as will clearly appear by a reference to the letter of the said Acts. " That by the first of the said acts, vaiiour duties on le gacies are imposed, applicable to different degrees of rela tionship between the legatees and the successors and the deceased, beginning at one per cent., and going on to ten per cent. : hut that, from these duties all freehold property is wholly exempt, anc, therefore, from this tax, which is, on an average, about three per cent., besides the probate duty, on all other property in the kingdom left by will, the estates of the nobility and landed gentry (including the advowsons and lay-tithes) are exempted, while the father, the mother, the child, of the fundholder, the tradesman, the farmer, or other person bequeathing personal property, has one per cent. to pay on the amount of the legacy, while a brother who has had a thousand pounds left him by a brother, has thirty pounds to pay on this duty, and while a distant relation of the deceased has, on a legny of the same amount, to pay one hundred pounds. " That, in regard to the probates of wills and letters of administration on intestate succession, if the deceased leave property above the value of 201., his successors have to pay a stamp duty of 10e.—that is to say, at the rate of 2/. per cent. on the value of the property ; but that, if the party dying leave by will any sum from 30,0001. to 5 0001., the duty is only 1/. 10s. per cent. ; and Chit, in this case again, all freehold property is exempted. " That, in the caue of conveyances of ail sorts, the duty upon a thing of five pounds, or on anything under twenty pounds value is ten shillings, and the duty upon a thing of two hundred thou and pounds value, or any sum above that, is a thousand pounds ; no that, in the latier case it may be less than ten shillings per cent. on the value of the thing conveyed, and in the former case, if of five pounds vatue, it is two h un d red shillings per cent. on the value of the thing conveyed; an d t h us, i n th i s case, the poor man pays twenty times as much tax as the rich man on pre cisely the same so r t o f property, and under the same Act of Parliament : and that, as the act will show, the weight of the duty goes on increasing from ten shillings per cent. to two hundred shit ings per cent., exactly in the propor tion that the value of the properly becomes smaller and smaller in amount. " That in the case of leases of lauds, of hurls, tene- " That in the case of mortgages, bonds, and securities of every description, i f the amount of the mortgage, for instance, be twenty-five pounds, the amount of the stamp is one pound, or eighty shillings per cent; but if the amount of the mortgage be twenty thousand pounds, the amount of the stamp is twenty pounds, or two shillings per cent. ; that, in this case, the poor man pays forty times as much as the rich man; and that the stamp is no more if the amount of the mortgage be one hundred thousand pounds; so that, in a case like this, the poor man pays two hundred times as much tax as the rich man : and that, in this case also, the tax goes on increasing in weight as the taxed person becomes poor. " That in the case of annuities, if the annuity be for ten pounds, or under, the amount of the stamp is one pound ; and that, in due proportion, an annuity of two thousand pounds ought to pay a stamp duty of two hundred pound ; but instead of that, it pays a stamp duty of only twenty-five pounds ; and if the annuity be for ten thousand pounds, or any greater amount, it still pays a stamp duty of only twenty-five pounds ; so that here the poor mas pays forty or fifty times as much tax as the rich man ; and that, in this case also, the tax goes on getting heavier and heavier as the parties become more and more poor. " That, in the case of promissory notes and bills of ex change, not exceeding two months after date, if the sum be forty shillings and not exceeding five pounds five shil lings, the stamp is one shilling; and, in the same propor tion, the stamp on three thousand pounds ought to be twenty-eight pounds eleven shillings ; but that, it pays only fifteen shillings ; and that for any higher rune the stamp is no more than one pound five shillings, instead of being, on ten thousand pounds, ninety-five pounds four shillings; and that, therefore, in the former case, while the poor man pays nearly one pound per cent., the rich man pays sixpence per cent. ; and in the latter case, while the poor man pays nearly one pound per cent., the rich man pays threepence per cent. ; and that, therefore, in the first case, the poor man pays forty times as much as the rich man, and, in the latter case, nearly eighty times as much as the rich man ; and here, as in all the former cases, the tax becomes heavier and heavier, as the tax payer becomes poorer and poorer ; and that, in bills of a longer date than two months, the partiality is still greater, and weighs still more heavily on the needy man. " That, i❑ the case of insurance of lives, where the sum insured amounts to less than five hundred pounds, the stamp is one pound ; that, if it amount to five hundred pounds, the stamp is two pounds: that, if it amount to five thousand pounds, or upwards, the stamp is five pounds ; so that the man who insures ten thousand pounds pays one shilling per cent. ; while he who insures for less than five hundred pounds, and suppose that to be three hundred pounds, pays six shillings and eight pence per cent. ; and thus the man of scanty means pays nearly seven times as much as the man of wealth. " That, in the case of receipts, if the sum be two pounds, the stamp is twopence; if the ,um be a thou sand pounds, the stamp is ten shialings, when, in due proportion, it ought to be four pounds three shillings and four-pence, that thus the poor man pays more than eight times as much tax as the rich man ; and if the sum go on increasing to a hundred thousand, or a million pounds, still the stamp is only ten shillings; and that for any sum expressed to be in full of all demands, whether it be for two pounds or a million, the stamp is always ten shil lings ; so that in this case it may be fairly said that the poor man pays a thousand times as much as the rich. " That, iu the case of appraisements not exceeding the value of fifty pounds in the value of the thing appraised, the stamp is two-and-sixpence; that, if the thing appraised exceeds five hundred pounds in value, though it amount to :a million of money or more, the stamp is but one pound; so that here the tax falls almost wholly on per sons in the middle rank of life, and the estates of the nobility and landed gentry are all nearly exempt : that an estate of the value of a hundred thousand pounds ought to pay an appraisement stamp of two hundred and fifty pounds, instead of the one pound which it now pays ; so that here the people in the middle rank of life pay, in many cases, two hundred and fifty times as much as the rich. " That, by the aforesaid act of the 55th George the Third, the duty on deeds as expressed by the Act, limits its operation to deeds containing no more than 2,16 0 words ; and the Act provides, that for every I,OSO words beyond that number, there shall be a further duty of one pound; and no difference is made as to this further duty, be the amount of the thing conveyed what it may; so that, in this respect, an estate of the value of an hundred Founds pays as much duty as the estate of the value of a million of money; and that it frequently happens that the deed conveying the small estate requires a gl eater num ber of words than the deed conveying the large estate. " That with regard to apprenticeships, the parents of a poor boy who give no premium at all with him, have two pounds to pay for the indentures and the cc uaterpar t; that in this case, however, where nobody but tradesmen are concerned, the stamp goes on gradually and fairly from thirty !pounds to a thousand pounds, a premium under thirty pounds paying one pound stamp and a thou sand pounds paying sixty pounds stamp ; because, in this cate, the nobility, clergy, and landed gentry are not con cerned; and here we may observe, that while the poor boy's parents are thus taxed, the settlements made by the rich, pay only a twenty-five-shilling stamp on a thousand pounds. " That, according to the aforesaid Act, every transfe assignment, disposition. assignation, or re-conveyance rf any mortgage or wadset, had a duty imposed upon it, on a certain ad valorem scale ; so that the transfer, disposi tion, or assignation, &e., paid the same ad valorem duty as was imposed on the original mortgage or wadset ; but that, by the last of the aforementioned Acts, viz., chapter 117 of the 3d of Geo. IV., an alteration was made in this respect; and in such wise as to make the duty in all cases whatsoever the same sum, namely, one pound fif teen shillings; so that tilts, stamp on the transfer of a mortgage of two hundred thousand povnds, or a million of money, has, since the yeur last mentioned, been the same as on the transfer of a mortgage of no more than two hundred pounds ; thus compelling the tradesman, or other small proprietor, to pay just the same amount of duty on the transfer of his.. small mortgage, as is paid by the Peer upon the transfer of a mortgage to the amount of hundreds of thousands of pounds. " That there is a total exemption from this stamp-tax for all bonds, contracts, mortgages, conveyances, deeds, and instruments for making provisions for building, re pairing, or purchasing houses, and other buildings, for the beneficed clergy on their benefices. "That by several Acts of Parliament, ending with 55 Geo. HI., chapter 142, which Act imposes duties on things sold by auction, a dory of sevenpence in the pound is imposed, in Great Britain, on the amount of the sale of any interest in possession or reversion in any copyhold, or leasehold lands, tene infreeenhtus,ld,h o c u u s s e t , o , n) customary, hereditaments, and on any share or sharea in the capital or joint stock of any corpo:ation or chartered company, and of any an. ratifies or sums of money charged thereon, and of any ships and vessels, and of any reversionary ireerest in the public funds, or of any p l ate or j ewe l s ; b ut t h a t o n all sales of fufniture, fixtures, pictures, books, horses, and carriages, end all other goods and chattels whatever, there is a duty of one shilling in the pound ; while on wool, sold for the benefit of the landowner or his tenant, or the first purchasers, the duty is only twopence in the pound ; and that from this duty all sales of goods distrained for rent or tithes, and all sales of leases of lands for tenements, and all sales of woods, coppices, cattle, live or dead stock, and all unmanufactured pro duce of land, and of all produce of mines, when the sales are made on the lands or at the mines, are wholly ex empted, as well as all the produce of quarries, or of imple ments used in quarries, mines, or farms ; and that thus, while every product of the hand of man has to bear this tax in almost a double degree, compared with lands and tenements themselves, the produce of the land bears no part of this tax, which is thus shifted from the shoulders of the great and the rich, and made to fall almost exclu sively on the middle and working classes of society. " That this House will, with as little delay as possible, make such an alteration in the several Acts, imposing duties on stamps and on sales at auction, as shall cause the Peers, Nobles, Baronets, and other great landowners, to pay, in proportion to the amount of their property (subject to those duties), as great an amount in those duties 41 is paid by the landholders, annuitants, trades- _ 1 i"-111cy6 ,---1/:/ m. 2 (frb g 46.1 % - % ,frr 1, .b.r.,.....(...r, hear)—and that ha thauhl p on in the e orld equally protected and equally regarded with the t rich one.

T from ageba or rehad been infirmity, ee were several attempts to stave off the question of poor laws, more especially by Mr. Wilmot Horton, who planned a grand scheme of emigration, which certainly took fora time. Since that belled himself emigrated—(A laugh).— and the Government had given the plan up—wisely, and in his opinion, as the only proper plan of emigration was diet which was effected by the parties themselves, their frb-ntle or landlords. He trusted in God a reformed ' Parliament would show itself the friend of tte poor man, and by making some provision for him, give Min a stake in the welfare of his country; if they did not, then, in his opinion, all hope for Ireland was at an end. Lord ALTHORP_I agree, Sir, with the Hon. Gen tleman who has proposed the motion, that this is a sub ject of the greatest possible importance; and I think, also, that it requires the greatest consideration to be bestowed upon it before we adopt it. I must say, too, that consi dering the evils which we know to exist in the poor law system of this country, it would have been more ad• viable for the Hon. Member not to move a direct resolu tion, declaring that poor laws should be adopted in Ire land, without explaining at the same time those improve ments in our system which be expects may be adopted to remedy those evils that all of us know to exist. There is one part of the speech of the Hon. Member which I hope will not have much weight with this House. I hope that this House will consider the question of the poor laws with reference to the benefit to be conferred upon Ireland, and upon Ireland alone, by their introduction ; and that the argument which he has used to show that the introduc tion of poor laws into Ireland would be beneficial to Eng land, by preventing the annual influx of Irish la bourers into this country; and that the appeal which he afterwards made on the same topic to English Members--I say I hope that this argument and this appeal will not have much effect.--(Hear, hear.) Nothing can be more unfit, nothing can be snore unworthy of English Members, than that they should vote for a measure for Ire land, not because it would be beneficial to Ireland, but be cause it would be beneficial to England.--(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman has made a most extraordinary state ment on this subject, and I should wish to caution the House against supposing, that because great distress exists in Ireland, it therefore follows, as a matter of course, that the introduction of poor laws there would remedy that distress, and prove of the highest advantage to Ireland. The Hon. Member says that the effect of the poor laws in this country has been most beneficial; that they have separated virtue from dissoluteness, and industry from idle ness. lam sorry to say that the experience we have had of the poor laws in England has rather shown the reverse to be the fact. I admit that this has not been the neces sary consequence of the poor laws themselves. lam in clined to believe that a great deal of the fault has depended on the administration of them.—(Hear, hear.) As they are at present administered, the effect of them certainly is to take away all inducement to industry, and to place the in,lustrious on the same footing as the idle. The Hon. Member who seconded the motion has said that he should join the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, and should be in favour of a repeal of the Union, unless the poor laws were introduced into Ireland. I shall only observe upon this, that if they join in their object, they certainly will not agree in their reasons—(A laugh)—for the Ho nourable and Learned Member does not pretend to put that forward as one of the grounds on which he has raised the question of the repeal.—(Hear, hear.) The object that I have in addressing the House thus early, is to es quest that they will not rush hand over head into the adoption of this measure ; that they will not declare poor laws expedient for Ireland, without first making due in quiry—without ascertaining what will be the effect of poor laws there—what will be the means of preventing abuses in them, and, above all, whether there are not, at this moment, institutioes possessed of funds to a conside rable moment, which, by law, are applicable to the relief of the poor.—(Hear.) All these points eughtto be inquired into before we adopt the resolution of the Hon. Member. It is desirable, too, that we should inquire into the state of the poorer classes in Ireland—how far the poorer classes of people are differently situated in the two countries--and to ascertain whether the effect of such difference is to the disadvantage of the poorer classes in Ireland ; and if so, whether those disadvantages might be removed from any system of poor laws that we should think proper to in troduce into Ireland. Although lam not prepared to say that poor laws ought not to be introduced into Ireland, I do feel considerable doubt and hesitation as to the ques tion whether the introduction of such a measure would be beneficial or not. The effect of the system here-appears to have been to lead the labouring classes to trust to the poor laws for their ultimate support, and not to exert sufficient industry or providence to maintain them selves. If lam right in the idea which I have formed of what the lower classes of the population of Ireland are, I do not think that they would be less likely to trust to the support to be afforded to them by the poor laws than the population of England.—(Hear, hear.) On the contrary, I believe they would be more likely to do so—(Hear)—and that the effect of the introduction of the poor laws into Ireland would be to induce the poorer classes in that country to be even less provident than they are said to be at present. Indeed I think that they would conceive a sort of imputation on their discernment and skill, if they did not contrive, by some means or other, to get frequent assistance from theta.—(Hear, and a laugh.) There are two or three modes by which we might proceed in making the inquiries I propose to insti tute. We might appoint a Committee of this House f r the purpose of inquiry, but there are many and great i b jectono to such a Committee. One effect of it would be, to bring evidence from Ireland at a considerable expense, and, after all, it might possibly be said that that evidence had been brought, because it was in accordance with the particular opinions of the gentlemen whe had sent for it. The Hon. Gentleman has expressed himself dissatisfied with the inquiry instituted in the year ISSO, and other persons might in like manner be dissatisfied with an inquiry of the same kind now, and we should not attain the end which we all desire. I think, therefore, and the Government, taking all the circumstance, into considera tion, are of opinion, that the inquiry should take place in Ireland itself--(Hear, bear, hear).`-and for that purpose I intend to move, as an amendment, that an address be presented to the Crown, praying that a Commission may to appointed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In wording that motion—having stated, as I have, my own doubts upon the subject, and my wish that the House should remain unpledged till full information is laid before them—l shall endeavour to word it in such a manner as not to point the inquiry directly upon that object. The amendment I shall move is this—" That an bumble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he will be graciously pleased to direct a Commission to issue, to inquire into the condition of the poorer classes in Ireland, and into the various insti tutions at present established by law in that country for their relief." I should call upon them to report their opinion as to what is expedient to be done. All that I should require from them is, that they should lay the case fairly before this House—that they should state what is the condition of the population in Ireland what are the means for their relief, and that we, by seeing that case brought fairly before us, may be able, on the one hand, to inquire what alteration may be made in our own poor laws, and to determine what poer laws should be intr , .,. 'lured into Ireland, and, on the other hand, if we should come to the conclusion that no poor laws should be introduced there, that we should have the means of deciding that question with a degree of authority ; and of .bowing, that it is not from a want of humanity —not from a want of sympathy with the Irish people—that we so decide it, but because, looking at their best interest., we have felt compelled to to act.—(Hear, hear, bear.) This is the proposition which I have to make; I hope it will be sufficient to satisfy the Hun. Member, and that he will not wish to press the House to adopt a positive reso lution, but will be content to wait until we can get the information which I propose to procure by the means of this Commission.—(Hear, hear.) M. O'CONNELL wished to be permitted to second, the amendment of the Noble Lord. No man hlld A stronger personal interest in supporting poor laws thee he had. By recommending them, he should obtain the affectionate confidence of a class of men whom he esteemed most highly—he should get a great deal of approbation from the Catholic clergy of Ireland, who were strongly disposed in favour of the poor lam, coming in contact, as they did, with a mass of misery, and being naturally anxious to find some tangible relief for that misery. If lie could bring his mind to think that the poor laws would ee advisable, and if lie were to state that to be his opinion, there would soon be a cry for them in Ireland that would be irresistible. If he were disposed to agitate c e pnoo tt ow l r l Ireland, for purposes that would lead to the shaking i of the foundations of society, and that would tend to re:o u .,tinoreisannbdj e e to t more the likely insecurityto influenceo property,f the ect subject did i l d . oni : ut o e t hrie m b i e nds o f of the par t , e awe.la r l y He ef could, uneducated,d., mostby means rk of reckless thislao t f b i : subject, life when in pursuit - i l f " o e b' w ec bo ts that they thought would be beneficial to hem, obj ects he was thoroughly convinced that he could .01 do so without a sacrifice of principle, and he roust •eek his private advantage by a yivletin Qf whet he PRIVY COUNCIL. Sir R. PEEL begged to ask the Hon. Metpber for Old !' am when he meant to bring forward his motion for an address to his Majesty to expel him from the Privy Coun cil, or was it only a flash in the pan ? Mr. COBBETT said the motion was to have come on last Tuesday, but the late hour to which the debate ran prevented it, and he now gave a fresh notice for the 13th of this month. The Right Hon. Baronet could not be afraid of its being a flash in the pan.—(A laugh.) Sir R. PEEL said the 13th May was as order day, and the notice could not then come on. He had a right to know when the motion really came on. Mr. COBBETT said he would bring it on any day the Right Hon. Baronet himself might fix.--(Laughter.) POOR LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. RICHARDS then rose, to bring forward his mo tion for establishing poor laws in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) There might be some Hon. Gentlemen who would think his Majesty's Ministers were the most proper per sons to bring forward the question of poor laws in Ireland ; but he hoped he should not be considered trespassing on their attention while he stated that he had applied to the Noble Lord opposite to know if the Go vernment had any intention of bringing forward such a measure, and he was replied to in the negative; but being impressed with a deep sense of the importance of this question to the best interests of the United Kingdom, and relying on the indulgence of the House, he determined not to flinch from the discharge of so important a duty. ..Before he went into the consideration of the expediency or the necessity of making some provision for the poor of Ireland, he would ask the House if there was any difference amongst Hon. Gentlemen as to the state of Ireland ?—(Hear, hear, from Mr. O'Connell.) It had been alleged by the late Right Hon. Chief Secretary for Ireland, that many parts of that country were the scenes of outrage, violence, and bloodshed—that murder was perpetrated on system—that property and life were not secure—that the old laws were not sufficient for the protection of the public peace, and that new ones must be enacted for that purpose. With the narmission of the House, he would read an extract from the report of the Select Committee appointed in 1830, to take into consideration the state of the poorer classes in Ireland, and the best means of improving their condition. The passage was as follows :—" Your Com mittee have felt it their duty to make the most minute and laborious inquiry into the actual state and condition of the Irish poor, considered in all points of view, moral, political, physical, and economical. Although they are fully aware that for a close and accurate investigation of these several subjects, embracing as they do the entire state of Ireland, it will be necessary to examine accurately the details of the evidence, they still feel it their duty to lay the results before the House in a more condensed and accessible shape. They regret to be obliged to state that a very considerable proportion of the population is con sidered to be out of employment. The number is esti mated diffe,ently, and by Mr. Smith is supposed to be as much as one-fifth of the entire population. By Mr. Ensor it is carried still further, and is calculated to amount to one-fourth. From this want of demand for labour, ne cessarily ensues very severe distress among the labour ing classes. This, combined with the consequences of an altered system of managing land, is stated to produce misery and suffering which no language can possibly de scribe, and which it is necessary to witness in order fully to estimate.' This distress is stated to exist in its greatest severity in the suburbs of cities and towns. Dr. Doyle describes the condition of this suffering class in the strongest and most impressive manner. He states a ease of some of the ejected tenantry, who, seeking a refuge in the towns, ' after their little capital is expended, become dependent upon charity. They next give up their house, and are obliged to take, not a room, but what they call a corner. Four of these wretched families are sometimes accommodated in one small apartment of a cabin, and three in another. I have not myself seen so many as seven families in one of these cabins, but I have been as sured by one of the officiating clergymen that there are many instances of it. Their beds are merely a little straw spread at night on the floor, and by day they are wrapped up or covered with a quilt, or with a blanket. In these abodes of misery disease is often produced by extreme want ; disease wastes the people, for they have no food or comforts to restore them; they die in a little time.' " In proportion as the remedy for these evils ap peared to be the introduction into Ireland of a sys tem of poor laws, it became impossible not to advert to what bad taken place in England on that subject. The alleged evil effects which had resulted from their introduction into England, would be urged against their adoption in Ireland. He perfectly agreed with those who were of opinion that it was as much an English ques tion as an Irish question.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In many of the parishes of the metropolis, the amount of relief given to Irish paupers almost exceeded belief.— (Hear.) But that was not the only evil; the valeta of labour was broken by them. Great numbers of the middle class also, that class in which resided the strength of the country, were ground down by the rates which it was necessary to impose, in order to relieve the English poor and the Irish poor who flooded this country and drove the English labourer out of employment. Was this longer to be endured ? Was England, in spite of her in dustry, her ingenuity, and her enterprise, to be thus im poverished, degraded, and ultimately destroyed ? He could not believe it. He appealed to that House inthe name of the English labourer for succour and for justice.—(Hear.) Much had been said of late in that House regarding the Irish landlords. Their motives had been greatly im pugned, and their conduct loudly censured. For his own pert, he did not think that English landlords, under some circumstances, were any better than Irish ones. Let them look, however, to the state of society in the two countries. Comparisons, he admitted, were ofttimes odious, but the House could not but look " upon this picture and on that ;" could not but see the disparity in the condition of the English and Irish population. Here, peace and obedience to the Jaw—there, violence and con tempt of it.—(llear, hear.) By adopting the measure he now proposed, the House would gladden the hearts of thousands of industrious poor people, compel the idle to earn their bread, and take from the seditious the power of doing mischief. He supposed he should he met with the re cital of some monstrous evils entailed by these laws, ex tracted from the abstracts of evidence lately published by the Commissioners deputed to inquire into the operation of them. But he begged to say, that that publication detailed only the abuses of the system, and never alluded to its benefits.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted those abuses would not continue in England, and it was never his wish that they should be extended to Ireland. But because there were evils in the system here, was that sufficient reason they should not attempt an improved one in the sister kingdom ? In 1 18, such was the frightful increase of pauperism in Dublin, that a society was formed amongst the inhabitants for the suppression of mendicity. In their report they stated, that the misery was at once " appalling and disgusting." That society had been greatly successful in doing good ; but all must see on what a precarious tenure its means of relief were held, and how circumscribed it must necessarily be in its operations. The inhabitants of Dublin, with the Duke of Leinster at their head, had now come forward and called upon Par liament to make the means of relief compulsory, and ,tvoaesxwteel l extend the known bles t s h i blessing , o i ti f t a i m p e o s o flaw peacealla over Ireland. l tran quillity, capit a l h a d an expansive power ; but when this was not the case, when alarm prevailed, at ever compressed ud in r e e r i n t. I t itself, and decreased the demand for labour. Poor laws. he contended, would increase confidence, secure t ranqu il lity, and therefore occasion an increased outlay of capital. —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member concluded by mov ing—" That it is the opinion of this House, that the establishment of a provision for the poor of Ireland, on the principle of the Act 43 Elizabeth, with such altera tions and improvements as ti me an d c i rcumstances may require, is expedizat and necessary to the interests of the United Kingdom." Mr. JAMES GRATTAN seconded the motion. No thing should deter him from advocating the necessity, feeling, as he did, how strong that necessity was, nf a sensibl and well-administered system of poor laws for Ireland. All he asked was, that the poor man should have has Eot theCoutract. V IAD IES are p ar ti cu l ar ly a nd most I Si le!PecLtfully requ este d b y A . B.
