surprised at the case he attempts to make upon the question. What were the Noble Lord's arguments in support of maintaining the Established Church in Ireland ? One was that in 1757, and in 1792, and some other years which the Noble Lord mentions, the Roman Catholics, when asking for a removal of the present penal laws and disabilities under which they laboured, said that they did not complain of the Church Establishment. Did any body ever hear of such a reason for keeping up such a system ? Is it not perfectly notorious that in the ordinary progress of affairs men suffering under any grievances, and feeling some more strongly than others, ask to get rid of the most severe? When they were suffering from other penal laws, and did not ask for a removal of the Established Church, was that a .reason why they did not desire its removal ? Why, I could give the Noble Lord an instance in his own practice in that respect. Does not every one know that in the agitation for the abolition of the slave trade, all its advocates disclaimed in the most earnest manner the intention of seeking to emancipate the slaves ? Such was the language of Lord Grenville, of Mr. Pitt, of Lord Howick (now Earl Grey), and d Mr. Fox, when he brought in his Bill on the subject. Mr. Wilberforce used the same language ; and, in 1807, the present Duke of Northumberland proposed to introduce a Bill to abo lish slavery. Mr. Wilberforce pulled him down, and said " our victory is to be over the slave trade." And when the Noble Lord brought in his Bill, in which he developed that plan with his usual ability, in which he pointed out all the hor. rible evils he was going to remove, what would he have said if a person had got up in the House, and declared with Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox that- his argument was to be an argument against the Noble Lord carrying out his views ? This, happily, the Noble Lord has refuted by his own practice. The Noble Lord said much about the impossibility of repealing the sth article of the Act of Union. Now the fourth article of the Act of Union fixed the proportion of the number of Members for Great Britain. The fourth article was altered, and who was it that brought in the Bill to effe c t th a t alteration ? The Noble Lord. — (Cheers from the Opposition. ) Well, then, to 'come to the Noble Lord's argument respecting the Roman Catholic oath. If the Noble Lord were present I should be inclined, with all the great personal respect which I entertain for him, to be a little mare severe,' 'but now I shall merely confine myself to his argument in the.-ease. When was such an argument ever heard of? Put it even hi - the strongest way, and - it amounts only to this, that the Roniart Catholic Members should walk out when we were going to vote on the subject of the Church Establishment. But when we, the orthodox Protestant Members, are present, what is the course to be adopted ? Is a man not to vote on the subject, because a particular individual in the House is tied up by an oath on the question ?—( Hear, hear.) Are we other 640 Members, who are not so tied up, not to discuss the question? If the Noble Lord has no other argument than this in support of his system, he has a very poor case indeed. I hope the Government will deal with this sub ject in a larger and mere comprehensive manner, and as a matter worthy its high position. The Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government will not come down, I am confi dent, to discuss such a question with a piece of an old journal in his hand, and tell us something about 1792 and 1797—he will feel that he must do battle upon this question, as it has reference to an institution, as it is either a good or a bad one. What are the ends for which an Established Church exists ?—( Hear.) Does the Church in Ireland accomplish those ends ?—( Hear.) Can a Church which has no hold on the great body of the people be other than useless or worse ? .Has the Church in Ireland that hold on the people?—( Hear. ) It has existed two centuries and a half, and has she yet suc ceeded in making such a great conquest among the Irish people, that she can be called, like the Church of England, or the Church of Scotland, the poor man's church ? Has she induced the body of the people to join her, or has she excited in them a reverence or a respect for the State ? These are the rational grounds on which a Church is supported, and not the views advocated in a speech made many years ago, and in a petition presented in the reign of George 11. by an un happy and persecuted people, who, under such laws as those of the penal code, did not ask for the removal of the Established Church, and did not even dream of asking for a seat in Parliament. But, Sir, I have said now quite enough to entitle me to give the vote which lam going to do. I think myself that those evils have been brought upon us by the false and I, policy which the Government have pursued, and I, do not think there is any possibility, that while their sys tem is followed in Ireland that country can be peaceable. I also think it utterly impossible that till Ireland is peace able and well affected the empire can enjoy its proper dig nity, and that which is perhaps better than dignity—secu rity. I am confident that in every negotiation that may be concluded, whether with France respecting the right of search, or with America respecting the settlements in the Pacific, however the negotiators may avoid mentioning the subject, the remembrance of the state of Ireland is, in the minds of those negotiators, constantly de pressing the one and emboldening the other. And so it must necessarily be with this greatly extended and mighty empire, well provided though it be with every means of offence and de fence. This empire has at her command means which no other empire that ever existed in the world possessed. She can stipulate terms of peace to the Court of China. She governs Australasia and Caffraria. It is in her power to drive from the se as the commerce of every country on the globe, and again blockade all the ports of Europe, from the Baltic to the Adriatic. It is in her power to guard her Indian empire against every attack. But, amidst all this mass of power, there is one vulnerable point near to her heart in which some forty-five years ago a blow was struck which had nearly proved fatal. For the revival of such a state of things again Parliament is re sponsible, but for my part of that responsibility I clear myself of it, by the vote I am about to give in favour of the motion of my Noble Friend, and I earnestly hope I shall have on that occasion so large and respectable a party as may satisfy the Irish Roman Catholics that they still have friends in England, and that they must not relinquish the hope of protection from the wisdom and justice of the Imperial Parliament.—( Loud end long-continued cheers. ) The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said be fully appreciated the eloquence of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, blet at the same time he felt it to be his duty to allude to the motion which the Noble Lord had brought before the House. He (the Solicitor-General) would ask what had induced the Noble Lord to bring that motion before the House ?—( Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) He should take the answer from what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman oppo site, when he said that the object was to pass a vote of censure on her Majesty's Ministers, for their general conduct of affairs since their accession to office, anti above all for their adminis tration in Ireland, and in the case of the State prosecutions. Such being the undeniable result of the Noble Lord's motion, he (the Solicitor-General) would ask, would not the effect of it be to give encouragement to these who violated the law in Ireland—(Cheers from the Tory benehes)—and to those who were disaffected towards the Government? He thought also he had a right to complain of the particular time at which the Noble Lord had brought forward this mo tion, because although the verdict of the jury had been brought in, no sentence had been, as yet, pronounced, and he now, by his motion, called upon the House to give an opinion, not alone as to the legality of the matter, but also as to its policy. From his (the Solicitor-General's) close observation of the course of those trials to which the Right Hon. Gentleman had alluded, he should say that no man with an unprejudiced mind could pronounce them to be otherwise than perfectly fair, and that the jury had pronounced the only verdict which could be come to from the evidence before them. Let them look to the state in which Ireland was at the time when those prosecutions were established, and then ask themselves whether the Govern ment were not fully justified in the course which they had adopted. In October the prosecutions were begun, and at that time, and for months before, the Repeal agitation had been in most active operation, and the Repeal Association had been carrying out its objects in a manner which tended to the subversion of all order. In alluding to the Repeal Association, he felt it necessary to say a few words—the more so because he was not present when the Noble Lord spoke of this body. He (the Solicitor-General) would say that the objects and intent. of that Association were to effect ostensibly a repeal of the union, but he felt convinced that the result of such a measure would, if carried, be an ulti mate separation of the two countries. The Noble Lord had said that the Association was like any other, and should therefore have like toleration.—(Hear, hear.) It was true that the Imperial Parliament had the right to repeal an Act of Parlia ment; but he thought there were certain Acts which must be considered as permanent from their nature—(Cries of " Oh, oh")—and one was the Act of Settlement, by which her Ma jesty held the Crown, beside which he would place the Act of Union. He thought that no body, associated for the purpose of altering the basis upon which the Mo narchy and the Constitution rested, could be legal. It had been said that the law had been strained in Ireland, ,but it must be borne in mind to whom the cards were given. They were given to men who were absolutely at the disposal, nod under the command, of one of the parties who were after weards indicted, he meant the Hon. and Learned Member for Cor, , e (Mr. O'Connell). They were men at his disposal and under . his command, and were ready either for action or in ac ti on . They were ready to remain quiet and bide their time as they were directed, or to muster for action at a given signal. , ill this was attended by the assembling in different parts of Leland of hundreds of thousands of people marehine an order u ader their repeal wardens as officers—mustering oh the ground .in such numbers that anything like discussion or deliberation was wholly impossible. At these meetings the leaders of th a people hurled defiance against the Government of the countr y. They not only spoke defiance, but they even threatened weir, saying that they were ready to meet the people of England— that they were ready for war if the people thought ra fit to engage i it. Were such things, he would ask, to be allowed to coz itinue ?—( Hear, hear.) He asked whether it was consistent with the well-being of the country for the Go vernment to allow such a state of things to continue ? It had been said Mit the law had been strained. Now he fearlessly put it to any 2L - lon. Gentleman whether such a state of things could exist .xn any country calling itself civilised—could it exist in aco in itry where the law was properly vindicated ? He thought it cor ild not. The Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat downs, said that the difficulties of the Government were to come, for if they attempted to enforce their sentence on Mr. O'Connell, there would be an outbreak in Ireland. If that Hon. a al Learned Gentleman had violated the law the Governmentrwould be neglecting their duty if they did not en force the Law. Her Majesty's Ministers finding that such was the state .or e things in Ireland decided that they would not come to that TI ouse for additional powers, but that they would trust to the fon ce of the common law for restoring order in Ireland. In co nsequence of this the late prosecutions were instituted. e Right Honourable Gentleman who had just sat down ',had said the law adopted in Ireland in the late trials was • not the usual or ordinary law. The Right Honourable ChM tleman said there were precedents to be found in the :seventeenth century but not since. The Noble LOrd opposite had designated it as " judge made law." Vt rith resp ec t t o this expression of the Noble -Lord he could only say that if the Noble Lord meant that. the int/lament had been formed upon the common law, as declared and recognised by successive judges from the judgment-seat, he (the Solicitor-General) perfectly agreed with him. The Nimble Lord said he was no e lawyer, but the Noble Lord knew enou gh of th e la w and common law cistaiftnEtionnglaonfdt,haiss country, to convi ac . e him that th e was thnefHsteineuperitnypuleponnf declared and recognised by the judge., which the lives, t he property, and the freedom of this country mainl y , depended. But the Gentle man who had just sat down, had said that no pr s e in c n e e dit for the , law, as laid down tin Ireland, could be found seven teenth century. IVow, he (the Solicitor- General ) tfeeeeea indictment which ra nin almost the same words as the late in- mu laV ic l . l. l l7 ENTERTAINMENTS.

The pv 'sons on that occasion were convicted, and and many persons were compelled to retire, unable to get the sentence of the. Court of Queen's Bsnch was imprison within the walls. Mr. Wilson gave on the occasion what he calls his selected entertainment, which contains many of ment; Lord Kenyan at the time being Lord Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Lawrence and Mr. Justice Ashurst were t hose delightful old songs, humorous and pathetic, which lie NN llll r tr i e so peculiarly his own, and which he never gave the counsel. lie could come even to later d a t es . He held in his hand an indictment, which had eemed to revel in the feeling and fun of the va voice, a c n i t e i r s gusto than last evening, for he was in capital been preferred by Lord Campbell when he was Attorney- 'ions strains with which he delighted his audience.

The Fren c h French Isis duty, at the last special commission in Stafford, to direct ate indictment of a Precisely similar kind. The Magistrates had w,L i ii t s and other Deal boatmen, 4CO francs, for services. committed the defendants for high treason, but he (the Soli- r in saving the lives of the crew of the French fishing lugger eitor-General) did not treat the case as one of high treason, Louis Philippe ; and has ordered a silver medal to be pre but indicted the parties for conspiracy. Two of those parties I sented to each of those brave men, fur their generous conduct were convicted, and wete now under sentence. This was an on that occasion. indictment in England, against persons of comparative obscurity. And was it a reason, because the person The President of the Royal Society has appointed was a man of eminence, and therefore more likely to the Fellows of that learned body. to have an effect upon the persons he addressed—was it because he was a man of eminence that he was to be relieved from a prosecution ? It was this that made the prosecution the more necessary. The Noble Lord and several Hon. Gentlemen had said that the act of which Mr. O'Connell bad been convicted, was done in the face of day. Now, he (the Solicitor-General) would make one remark as to the lawfulness of those proceedings. He apprehended that it was a sufficient answer to the Noble Lord to say that the question had been under the consideration of the Court possessing the highest criminal jurisdiction in the country, and it had been decided by the unanimous concurrence of the judges of that Court, that the form of the proceedings was according to the law. But it was said that Mr. O'Connell had not been guilty of a coespiracy, for the Noble Lord said that conspiracy was always secret and dark. Why, the same argument might be applied to the cases of conspiracy which had been tried in England. The indictment against the Chartists was for assembling together great bodies of the people, and for addressing them in seditious speeches. A conspiracy—a political conspiracy—might be dark and secret, as, where power was in one hand, and the object was to transfer that power to another. It would be conspiracy if an attempt were made to excite the people to rebellion and resistance, or by attempting to in timidate a Government by a display of masses of the people or the physical force of the country. The course of proceeding in the two cases must be wholly different. The parties worked by different means. They assembled large masses of the people, they published seditious placards, and made seditious speeches. Their object was to inflame, to agitate, and madden the people. It was plain that this was conspiracy. These acts were so directed as if they were intended to intimi. date the Parliament, and all Ireland was filled with tumultuous meetings.—(Hear, hear.) It was for these offences they were tried and convicted. The Right Hen. Gentleman who had just sat down had said, that if there were anything unfair in the trials it would deprive the verdict of all moral effect. With respect to the unfairness of the trial—the first thing in importance—was the formation of the jury.—(Cheers.) The Government might have proceeded with a common jury. But that would have precluded the traversers from the privilege of challenging the jury ; and it was the opinion of the Govern ment that a special jury would be liable to less objection. On that account express directions were given by the Government, that it should be a special jury, in order that both parties should stand upon equal terms.—(Hear, hear, and great laughter.) Then, when they came to the fact of striking the jury—he thought that there was no ground of complaint. Instructions were given by the Government that Catholics should not be struck off as Catholics, but that the same objection, was to apply equally to Protestants and Catholics. There was nothing from which it could be inferred that there was any intention to insult the Roman Catholics. How could it be, that out of a list of 717 qualified persons the panel was struck, whereas the old panel consisted of only 308? But it was said, upon the other side, that it was impossible to have a fair trial by jury in Ire land. Nothing so severe had been said on his side of the House.—( Tory cheers.) It was proposed that when a Ca tholic was to be tried the jury were to consist of half Pro testints and half ,Catholics. Why, if the statements of gen tlemen opposite were true, the consequence of that would be that there would be no verdict at all. There had been a great deal said of the omission of some names from the list of special jurors, but it had been clearly shown—indeed nobody denied— that the omission was a matter of mere accident, and that the person through whose negligence the mistake occurred, was himself a Roman Catholic. Mr. SHELL—Oh no, ir.deed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Then if the Right Hon. Gentleman knew who was the guilty person, he ought to name Mr. SHIEL—I only said it was not a Roman Catholic. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would repeat, that if the Right Hon. Gentlemen knew who it was, he ought to ,accuse him openly in that House. Mr. SHEIL made an observation which did not reach the gallery, but which was followed by laughter and cheers. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—If the Right Hon. Gen tleman made the charge, it was one which was directly con tradicted by all of those who had any thing to do with the conduct of the prosecution, and of whom several were Members of that House.—( Tory cheers.) He hail heard harsh comments made upon the conduct of his Friend the Attorney-General for Ireland, but upon a careful review of his conduct he (the Solicitor-General) had seen nothing from the commencement but a great willingness to accommodate the accused, and he never opposed them un til they showed a determination to evade the trial, if the forms of law would avail them for that purpose.—(Cheers.) He consented in all stages to postpone the procedings whenever the application for postponement had a reasonable pretext. In his address to the jury he showed the greatest temper and modera tion—( A laugh)—as well as the most consummate discretion, as a man representing the Crown in a grave proseention.— ( Hear, hear.) The speech of the Solicitor-General was also remarkable for its temper and discretion, and the entire absence of any wish to press up m the accused. He did not think that the accusation of unfairness came gracefully from the Noble Lord who brought forward this motion. It had been admitted by those who followed the Noble Lord en the same side that he had failed, and wholly failed to substantiate the charge of unfair ness. He (the Attorney-General would ask, did not a grave re sponsibility rest upon him and upon those who supported this motion ?—( Loud cheers.) He wished to make a remark on the charges made against the Government. When they were told by Noble Lords and Hon. Gentlemen opposite that they did not rechess the crying grievances of Ireland he looked, but looked in vain, for some tangible charge. When it was said that since the present Administration had been in power they had not consulted the feelings of the Roman Catholics, he asked them to cease from mere assertion, and to give him one tangible charge.—( Hear, hear.) They gave him none —no, not one ( Cheers.) The only thing they even attempted was to say--(but they never attempted to prove)—to say that their administration of patronage had not been equal be• tween the Catholic and the Protestant. Now he ventured to say that in the mind of every Member of the Administration, there was the strongest and most anxious desire to maintain a perfect system of equality between Protestants and Catholics. —(Hear, hear.) And here again he would ask for an instance wherein this rule had not been followed out. Tell him an instance where the Government bad bestowed an office upon a Protestant where a Catholic equally competent could be found to fill it. 'fhe Noble Lord (Russell) had talked about the Master of the Rolls. Why the man whom the Government had made Master of the Rolls was Attorney-General in the Administration of which the Noble Lord was a leading Mem ber.—(Cheers.) He was a man of the highest talent, and lie asked if there was a Roman Catholic then at the bar who for one moment could be put in competition with him?—(Cheers. ) They could not find one—they could not name one. Why, th n, what did they mean by bringing these charges of unfairness against the Government without one tact to support them ?—Loud cheering.) Let them bring one instance of supposed unfairness or injustice, and he under took it should be answered.—(Cheers.) But he must, before sitting down, say a word upon another point. W hen they were told that their measures, as far as they went, were good, but that they would be of no avail, and that no measure would be of use in restoring permanent peace to Ireland while the Pro testant Establishment existed there—whenthe heard these sen timents uttered and cheered as they had been by gentlemen opposite, he was anxious to know on what authority they were made.—( Hear, hear.) For he knew that the heads of the Catholic Church and the leaders of the Catholic body had ab solutely mpudiated the idea of taking anything from the State. —( Hear, hear.) They would take nothing from the State— they would have no endowment. What then did Honourable Members mean by saying that they would never be satisfied till that Churah, whose endowments they sought not, was de stroyed ?_( Hear, hear.) Was it indeed true that though they did not seek the honours or the revenues of the Protestant Church of Ireland, yet that the price of peace was to be its de struction?—( Cheers. ) If that were so, then there would not be peace—(Cheers)—but he, for one, did not believe it— ( Cheers )—and he ventured to hope that the measures which from time to time the Government would propose would have the effect of • giving not only peace, but happiness and prosperity to that country.—(Cheers.) He did venture to hope that when it was known in Ireland that the trade of agitation would no longer be permitted—( Cheers) —and that the Legislature was willing to lend an ear to all matters of reasonable complaint, a peaceful and prosperous tranquillity would be restored to Ireland, and life and pros perty would have the same security as in other portions of the British empire.—(Loud cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL briefly explained; and on the motion of several Members, all speaking at once, the debate was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). RAILWAYS. Mr. GLADSTONE moved that it be an instruction to the Committee on Railways, that they have power to consider of any arrangements advantageous to existing railway companies, to which, in the opinion of the Committee, Parliament might justly give its sanction. Mr. HAWES said, that they ought to be cautious how they interfered with Acts of Parliament, that authorised the expenditure of large sums of money. He did not mean to dispute the power of Parliament so to interfere, but it was usual for a Minister to explain more fully what his objects were than the Hon. Gentleman had done. Mr. GLADSTONE said, he had last session explained his opinions and intentions on this subject more fully, and he did not mean to weary the House with a repetition of them. The Committee would have equal regard for the interest of private individuals and the advantage of the public. After a few words from Dr. BOWRING the motion was agreed to. • The following Select Committee on Joint Stock Banks was was then moved for :—Mr. W. E. Gladstone, Lord Granville Somerset, Sir George Grey, Sir Walter James, Colonel T. Wood, Mr. Milnes ' Mr. Hawes, Sir W. Clay, M r . O swa ld, Mr. G. Craig, Mr. Cripps, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Young. Colonel RA WDON moved for returns of the naval service employed on the coast of Ireland from 11334 to the present pe riod describing the number and class of such vessels, and the number of men and officers employed for each year. A few Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) FRASER V. BAGLEY.-CREII. CON. This case was resumed this morning, but had not been brought to a conclusion when our paper went to press. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Edgar Ford, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged before Mr. Traill, with forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange for 71. 4s. 61, purporting to be the accept ance of Caroline Carpenter. Mr. Press stated that lie had several money transactions with the prisoner previously to the present charge. That in the month of November, he (complai nan t) di scounted the bill produced, dated the th of November, for 71. 4s. 6d., pur , porting to be the acceptance of Caroline Carpenter. When the bill became due, the prisoner endorsed another bill to take the former one up, when it was ascertained that the acceptor's name to both were forgeries. This the complainant discovered by writing to Caroline Carpenter, who, on examin ing the bills, immediately pronounced them to be forgeries. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say in answer to the charge, replied that lie should say nothing at present. As Mrs. Carpenter was not present, the prisoner was re manded. THE.

In the House of Lords, notice was given by Lord CAMPBELL that he would move the second reading of the Libel and Defamation Bill this day, in order to refer it to a Select Committee. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the " Gaming Transactions Witnesses Indemnity Bill" was read a second time. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to continue the patent of Lord DUNDONALD, with regard to improve ments in steam-ships, for a further term of seven years. He at the same time announced that it was his intention to refer the Bill to a Committee of the House, and in the event of the Committee being satisfied with the evidence brought before it, ;he House should address the Crown on the subject, and the subject-matter being referred by the Crown to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the Crown should be empowered to grant a longer term. This to say the least, is a very round about way of doing business. The subject-matter to use the Parliamentary phrase, is first brought be fore 'the Lords, then it is referred to a Committee ; next to the QUEEN ; fourthly, to the Judicial Commi tee of the Privy Council ; fifthly, again to the Crown; and after all, a doubt remained, whether the sub ject-matter should not also be referred to the other House. To common people these Parliamentary proceedings appear very absurd. Lord CAMPBELL concurred in the Bill, and then broached another subject for the Judicial Committee. He thought the Council should have the power of divorce a rinculo matrimonii, which we translate a simple divorce. By giving this power, he said, the House would provide a remedy for the poor, which could be had only by the rich. The LORD CHANCELLOR was opposed to mixing up questions so different in one motion, and recommended Lord CAMPBELL to bring in a Bill on the subject of divorce, and it should have his best consideration. This is a happy intimation, and we hope Lord CAMP BELL will act upon it, for in all the glaring distinc tions between the laws for the rich and for the poor, there is none so glaring as that on the right of divorce. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE approved of the pro posed plan, because the law would be protective, not to one class as now, but to the whole country. Lord WHARNCLIFFE was oppoEed to the measure, and, after some observations from Lord REDESDALZ, the Bill was laid on the table. The Metropolitan Improvements Bill was passed. In answer to a question from Lord RODEN, the LORD CHANCELLOR said that the judgment of the House in reference to Presbyterian Marriages in Ire land, would be given on Friday next. Lord MONTEAGLE brought before the House the importance of a railvNay to Holyhead. The Duke of WELLINGTON fully concurred with the Noble Lord in the importance of a speedy communication be tween England and Ireland, and said the Government were anxious to do everything in their power to for ward the measure. After some routine business the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of peti tions, Mr. P. BORTHWICK gave notice that, in Com mittee on the Poor-laws, he would move clauses to prevent the separation of man and wife above sixty years of age, and for out-door relief in certain cases. Mr. HUMS gave notice, that he would this day move for a return of the number of Custom-house officers discharged on the discovery of the late frauds; and the penalties recovered. Mr. I:ADOUCHERE said he would, on Thursday next, bring under the notice of the House the exist ing commercial treaties with Brazil. In answer to a question from Mr. HINDLEY, Sir R. PEEL said he had not so much leisure to read the newspapers as the Hon. Member, and had not seen a paragraph which stated that the Queen of OTAHEITE, had been deposed by the French Admiral. Leave was given to bring in Bills f or th e forma tion of branch lines connected with the Manchester and Leeds, and various other railways. Mr. DUNCOMBE put a question to the ATTORNEY GENERAL with reference to political associations and the press, but he got no satisfactory answer. Mr. ELPRINSTONE put a somewhat similar question, which met with the same fate. We cannot abridge the report, and refer our readers to the fencing of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, which excited much merriment on the Ministerial benches. Mr. HORSMAN resumed the adjourned debate on Ireland, and protested against the policy which her MAJESTY'S Government had pursued towards that country. He adverted with much effect, to the anomalous proceedings of the Crown during the State trials, to the present smothered hostility of the Irish nation, and to the calamities which befal the empire by refusing to treat the Sister Country as an integral portion of the United Kingdom. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, the Secretary of the Ad miralty, followed, and made a liberal and judicious speech for a man in office. He thought the Catholic clergy should be paid for educating the people. He rejoiced to see the kind feeling which prevailed during the whole debate towards the Catholics of Ireland; and he believed he spoke the sentiments of the Go vernment, as well as his own, when he said they were anxiously earnest, and at once, to effect the improve- ment of their common country. After a few words from Mr. SMYTHE, in favour of conciliating the Irish nation, Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, one of the traversers, addressed the House, and was listened to with much attention. He defended the Irish Catholic clergy, and though a " convicted conspirator," as he had been styled by some Honourable Gentleman opposite, he would, before he returned to Ireland to meet the vengeance of his pro secutors, announce that he would continue to exert himself with more ardour and zeal than ever to incur their vengeance still farther by serving his native country. His speech altogether showed much spirit, and, at the same time discretion, and evidently made an impression on the House. The great speech of the night was made by Mr. Mac- ALLAY. When on a fit subject, and in a happy mood, he has no competitor in either House for eloquence and effect. Last night he was fortunate in both, and his powerful denouncement of the wrongs inflicted on Ireland, and the unwise policy of the present rulers towards that unhappy country, told with more than ordinary force. gir WM. FOLLETT tried what he could to turn the tide in a different direction, but was unequal to the task. The debate was again adjourned, and the House rose at a Quarter to One o'Clock. Mr. MACAULAY'S speech last night in the House of Commons on the question of Ireland is one of the most masterly—the most triumphant displays of min gled argument and eloquence that even he has ever made. Tracing the sad and dark history of Irish oppression from the earliest periods down to the pre sent day, he showed, beyond the power of refutation, how much just cause of complaint the sister-country has had for centuries against England; and how little has been done by the PEEL Ministry—compared with what ought to have been done—for the last three or four years, to redress her undeniable grievances. " As to your executive measures," said the Right Hon. Gentleman, with indignant emphasis, " they are all of the same sort—an increase of the number of soldiers, and the erection of barracks." These, we may just remark by the way, were always fa vourite expedients of the Tories —their panacea for all sorts of national evils. Did the people, goaded by famine and desperati on , ma k e l ou d and fierce complaints against the Government, and demand, as a matter of constitutional right, the at tention of Parliament to their case—the only satis faction they got from the Tory rulers of the day, was a large increase of the standing army ? Did they hold energetic public meetings, and express them selves at those meetings in a manner m ore remar k a bl e for its strength than its complaisance, they were re warded for their frank, plain - speaking by a b arrac k be ing most o instantlyst distinguished run themselves b y th e i r impassioned hadst nguish sincerity ? No matter what might b e t h e grievance, the remedy was invariably the same. As Doctor SANGRADO treated all maladies alike—and whether his patients were old or y o ung - -consumptive or plethoric—sanguine or h ypochondriacal —gouty or dyspeptic—put them all through a vigorous course of bleeding and hot water; so our sapient Tory rulers never resorted to any otherremedial process than that te r 3. e -e g ar ar s ds Ireland. ago, they of an increase of soldiers and a multiplication o f bar srtaiclkl s c . onAtinnudeto ac—at least as d just as act they She complains of misgovernment, and by way of doing away with her cause of complaint, the Irish Executive accommodates her with a vast increase of troops, repairs all the old, useless forts on the banks of the Shannon, claps an extra sentinel at th e C as tl e gates, and sends a military force, without their dinner, on a hurried expedition to Waterford! And thus acting, our sagacious rulers conceive that they are laying the foundations of just and enlightened go vernment in the sister-country! Was ever folly— was ever infatuation equal to this ? Is it a Sir ROBERT PEEL, or is it a doting purblind old woman that is at the head of affairs ? We confess we are somewhat puzzled to answer this question. Th© " voice is the voice of JACOB, but the hands are the hands of Esau." Mr. MACAULAY went on to remark--" And now for your future measures. With respect to your legisla tive ones, it is true you propose a Bill for the registra tion of Irish voters, coupled with an increase of the franchise. But what the provisions of that measure are, we cannot as yet foresee ; all we do know is, that the subject is one on which it is impossible for you to legie, late at once with credit toyourselves and with benefit to the public; all that we can say with confidence is, that the measure must either be destructive to the re presentative principle in Ireland, or to the remnant of your own character." This phrase " remnant" is very felicitously applied. It is indeed but a " rem nant"—and that a miserably meagre and tattered one —that Ministers have left of character. And yet Sir ROBERT PEEL once took pride to himself in the House of Commons, for being " clothed in the mantle of his own integrity!" We should be sorry to hear of him walking down Parliament-street clothed in no more substantial raiment, for his appearance, under such " untoward" circumstances would approximate rather too closely to that of ADAM before the Fall, when he walked abroad in all the beauty of unsophis ticated nature. Mr. MACAULAY closed by far the most eloquent and impressive speech that has been delivered this session, by some allusions to the Pro testant Church Establishment in Ireland vl hich were conspicuous not less by their point and cogency, than by the sincere, manly, and enlightened spirit that per vaded them. By the New York packet-ship Sheridan we have received a report of the proceedings in the Senate, on the 24th ult., in relation to a discussion incidentally connected with the resolution proposed by a Mr SEMPLE, " to give Great Britain notice that the joint occupancy of the Oregon territory shall terminate in ,twelve months." The special debate of the 24th ult., • in Committee of the whole House, on the state of the Union," was on the rosumed consideration of a report made on the previous day from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, by a Mr. INGERSOLL, " declaring it inexpedient for Congress at this time to act in any manner on the subject." Any exhibition more un becoming the dignity of a deliberative body —any expositions of principles more politically dishonest— any aspirations at statesmanship more profoundly contemptible than those elicited on this occasion, we have never been called on to deprecate. The " Ore gon" is a question upon which it seems a canon of Yankee patriotism that every good citizen of the United States is bound to dement himself without loss of time. It appears to be the touchstone of their democratic nationality—the Shibboleth to determine the purity of their jealous Anglophobia. In ap reaching it, the plain, matter-of-fact man of business, and the ambitious high-flying republican, equally lose sight of all outlying considerations touching the relations of their country with our's, antl the relative authority, rank, and power of the two nations, on the result of any comparison which can be instituted be tween them. They will challenge that comparison spontaneously, and the amusing result they arrive at is, that it is greatly in favour of their own federal strength and grandeur 1 The very terms of a notice to such a Power as Great Britain, that the joint oc cupation of a certain territory by her subjects and those of the United States, "shall terminate in twelve months"—implying, of course, that the intentions or views of Great Britain in such a matter would not avail for one moment against the simple decree of Mr. SEMPLE and his party—are a whimsical text enough for any commentary. And, to be sure, this absurdity was drawn out into some exquisite fooling in the speeches of the Mr. OWEN and Mr. WENTWORTH, who followed. But all the excitement and vanity, the vaporing and folly (at which we cannot but laugh in spite of our better judgment, on account of their grotesque extravagances), do not conceal, and are not even intended to conceal, the rancorous hatred, the- vindictive envy, the snarling malice, with which these noisy " legislators" regard the " supreme among the nations," from whence, —after a fashion —their own people and institutions have descended. Here we have, for example, Mr. OWEN moving, by way of amendment, the expediency of Congress now" acting in the matter. He is pleased to assume, when reminded that our Minister, Mr. PACEENHAM, charged with the duty of treating on this subject, had not yet arrived out in America, " that no benefit could reasonably be expected to result to that country from negotiation ;"—an instructive specimen of legislative candour, and of a dispassionate disposition to examine the question in all its bearings with a statesmanlike absence of prepos session ! But he is not unprepared to meet the diffi culties that may arise out of such a course ;--not he ! " If," said he, "to give notice to Great Britain that she could no longer occupy with us the valley of the Columbia—if that were a cause of war, then war must come ; it might come sooner, it might come later ; but come it must at last." And this sentiment is so present throughout the whole of the exhibition made by Messrs. OWEN and WENTWORTH, that we are compelled to notice and reply to it. But let us first note a little more the bellicose music of Mr. Owax's penny trumpet. Having asked how England would check the emigra tion to Oregon ; whether she proposes to build along the summit of the rocky mountain range " a Chinese wall of demarcation," (!) and whether she will say to the spirits of the western wilderness (i. e. the intending squatters), " thus fax shall you go, and no further ;" his impetuous oratory overleaps his Anglo-Chinese-American masonry, and the heads of his western wilderness worthies, at a bound. Under a grand melo-dramatic access of sublimely confused imagery, the wall changes successively into a moun tain eagle, a Sioux pony, and a wild goose ! Such, at least, is our translation of what probably may be current in the Union for genuine " States paper " oratory ; but which, " on this side the Atlantic," as well as "of the Pacific" (to borrow Mr. OWEN'S phraseology), would be rejected by our Schoolboys, for the most worthless and noisy twaddle ever at tempted to be palmed upon a credulous public : " When they could control the mountain eagle in his upward course to the sun ; when they could check the wild horse of the prairie in his impetuous career ; when they could quench in the bird of passage that instinct which bids her up and away, then they might expect to set mete or bound to the spirits of the West this side of the Pacific." Certainly, if these wilderness gentlemen can be negotiated with only by parties qualified to fulil such conditions, Lord ABERDEEN must lose no time in securing the taming powers of Mr. CROSS and Mr. VAN AMEURGH. And even then, the difficulties to be encountered would not be mastered. It seems that " a leading London journal (not a Ministerial organ, however), had lately asserted that England was re solved to arm the Indian tribes in her cause." Where upon, exclaims the speaker— " Let that threat be carried into effect. Let those Indians be armed, let the first blood follow the blow of the tomahawk, and would the people wait their tardy legislation before they rushed to the rescue ? Let the news of a massacre on the banks of the Columbia pass over our land, and their ' armed occupation' project for the protection of Oregon would be but an idle form. It soon would be occupied—an armed occupation, too. By whom ?" Aye ! Now for it. The description is harrowing. But first, like the most skilful orators of antiquity, he tells us whom the dragon's-teeth crop will not fructify into : "They will not be smooth-chinned, nicely trimmed, and uniformed cadets from West Point." Alas for West Point ! Its little band of smooth chinned cadets are not destined to give it immortality ! That lot is reserved for certain stalwart old back woodsmen of "rather" unsettled habits ; and for a goodly company of young fellows with similar va grant propensities, who must be, moreover, "Mor rnonites." For Mr. OWEN will not let them pass for " fierce young hunters," only, " with musket and belt," but he tells us they are also hunt ing up, like the new sectaries, the mystic celebrities of the Old Testament. They are " Nimrod hunters." Now if Nimrod was " A mighty hunter, for his game was man," how much more intense must be the sport of these squatters who are hunting NIMROD ! " But by veteran pioneers—men from whom old age, though it whitened their locks, could not steal their strength and fire ; by fierce young hunters, who had heard th e war - w h oop i n their cradles, and who burned to avenge the death of their fathers ; by parties of Nimrod hunters, who, with their belt on their arm and their musket on the shoulder feared nothing, white or black, in the shape of man." At the close of this balderdash we find a Mr. C. J. INGERSOLL reinforcing the eulogium of these won drous people, " fearing nothing white or black in the shape of man," by ejaculating " (in his seat)—nor of woman either." Whether this specimen of Yankee chivalry was intended as of general application to the sex, or more personally to the authority and station of an Illustrious Lady, we are not competent to de cide. In either case its delicacy and spirit are charm ing. But we eannot afford further space for such truculent nonsense : though this bit, in which Mr WENTWORTH is made the expounder of the intentions of Providence, is too rich to be wholly omitted:— "No I England had taken her last inch on this conti nent ; in future, instead of gaining more, she might lose what she had. She might think to get California, but it was all a vain delusion. God ( accor di ng to Mr. W.) had never made America to be the slave of Great Bri tain ,• her last foot of territory was Canada, and that would go by and by." And again : " All he wished was, that she would but once try to get Oregon, and set on her Indians upon our settlers. She might meet with success for the first few years, but there would come rushing over the rocky mountains such a force as would drive her into the sea. Some other Jackson would arise to defend the mouth of the Oregon, as the first had defended the mouth of the Mis sissippi." This last sentence, we believe, supplies the key to the incessant tendency against which we have so often to protest, of too many American legislators, civilians, officers of. both services, and editors of public journals, to indulge in their offensive vitupe . . ration of G rea t B r it a i n ,_ and their own still more offensive self-glorification. They persuade them selves, because of the disgraceful misconduct or in capacity of some British commanding officers at the affair of New Orleans, and the easy results which their General JACKSON was allowed to realise of that day of disastrous blundering, that laurels, thick as - - bilberries, will fall to their share in any and every future encounter IN ith " the Britishers." They should know better; and if the war for which they so in solently clamour do break out, we venture to predict they will be taught better. It would not even require the veteran and disciplined troops of our regular army to read them this lesson. The Canadian Militia discomfited in a few hours hundreds of American military adventurers, who crossed the border with a reputation formidable as that which the American papers gave to their sympathizer-general VAN RENSELAER ; and returned, after feats and defeats of equal calibre with those of that wondrous Bobadil. But there is a party in the United States who seem determined to provoke a war—with our naval superio rity too ! The defenceless seaboard of the United States, the exposed frontier of their great trading capitals, the dismantled condition of their forts, would give them pleasant odds in a contest which should sub ject them to the visits of our steam-navy ! Let the United States undertake a war with Great Britain, and it would require a century to retrieve the de struction of property, force and materiel, which, in a single year, we should have visited on their coasts from New York to the mouths of the Mississippi. Most of the Paris papers publish the intelligence brought by a merchant vessel from the Pacific, an nouncing the deposition of Queen POMARE, and the occupation of Tahiti by Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS. The news which appeared in The Sun on Monday, is generally believed at Paris, and also generally ap proved of. Indeed, no other result could be expected. It is the natural course of events. The savage race is invariably overpowered by the civilised, or, as in North America, retires like the wild beasts of the field on the approach of man. The Journal des Debate gives a long account of the affair in a letter from a correspondent of the name of GossE. This writer evidently attributes the quarrel to the intrigues of Mr. PRITCHARD, the missionary, and the jealousy of England ; but beyond the fact of the occupation of the country, his remarks are entitled to little credit. The letter concludes in the following pompous style : " Queen Pomare has ceased to reign, and we now stand on French soil. The flag of the English consulate was imme diately struck. A large number of natives had assembled before the residence of Mr. Pritchard, who was haranguing them with great vehemence ; his exhortations did not, how ever, appear to have much success. In the evening the town had resumed its usual tranquillity ; the men smoked their cigars with the same carelessness, and the women grinned and showed their white teeth, as though they had not in the morning been present at a revolution. The Governor- General was installed on the Bth, and proclaimed the Council of the Government, which was composed of M. D'Aubigny, captain of the corvette, Lieut. Clon, and M. Moerenhout, ex- C onsul of France. A proclamation, addressed to the inhabi tants, assured them security for their persons and their pro perty, and the free exercise of their religious worship. Papaiti is declared a free port ; no anchorage dues will be claimed, nor any custom-house duties ; pilot dues will alone be demanded. The French flag floats over this fine country, which reminds one of the poetic descriptions of Bougainville." The Paris journals contain no news from Madrid, and indeed for some time no intelligence from that quarter worthy of credit may be looked for, as the Spanish Government has stopped all the private cor respondence with the Liberal papers. The French funds remained stationary, the Three per Cents. being quoted on Sunday at 82f. 40c. The Judicial Committee of the Queen's Privy Council sat this morning, to hoar appeals from the Colonies and from the Prerogative Court. Lord Campbell, Mr. Pem berton Leigh, and other Lords, were present. HONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, at previous rates. Speculators took 1,500 bales, the entire sales consisting of 5,000 bales, viz.-30 Egyptian, at 71d. ; 50 Bahia, at bid. ; 50 Maranham, at sid. to 61d. ; 300 Surat, at 4d. to 4id. ; and the rest American, at sid. to 6i-d. The leading Railway Shares continued heavy, and there was not much inquiry for the others. Grand Junction were 225; Birmingham Quarter, 26i ; Brighton, 43 ; South Western Eighths, 3 Manchester and Birmingham, 40i ; North Mid land Thirds, 29 ; Paris and Lyons, 21. 16s. 6d. ; Ditto and Orleans, 32i ; South Eastern, 36 ; Ditto New, 36A. W The additional advices received from the est Indies, Canada, and the United States, do not contain any facts of interest beyond those quoted in other columns of The Sun. A good deal of business has been done this morning in the Funds. The Commissioners bought 20,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 98k, which is the present quotation. Consols for Account are a shade lower than they were yesterday after.. noon. The heavy Stocks and Exchequer bills are in request. For Bank Stock 195 has been again paid. That there will be some concessions, though perhaps slight, in favour of the Joint-Stock Banks on the renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England appears to be rather certain, but it is not thought that the main privileges of the Corporation will be interfered with. It may be formed into a single Branch of Issue. The alterations in the Foreign Funds have been slight to day. Spanish Consols are at 234, Passive at 5i to 4, and the Three per Cents. at 33. Portuguese Converted have varied from 444 to 454. DutchTwo-and-a-Half per Cents. have been firm at 1024. Brazilian Stock has touched 80, but the price now is 794. The price of Colombian Stock is lower, namely, at 134 to 134. Mexican Deferred have receded a shade. In other Bonds there is not much variation to notice this morning. In the Railway Share market, with but a few exceptions, prices have somewhat drooped. York and North Midland have advanced to 68 premium, York aid North Midland at 154 premium, and Birmingham and Gloucester at 29 dis count. London Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been sold at 34 premium, and Real del Monte Unregistered Mining Shares at 44 to 4i. WRIISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK, (From the Official List.)
