W. P. begs also to announce that he has supplied more than 10,000 deaf persons with Dr. Scott's CORNETS, which, to meet the convenience of all classes, are constructed of the smallest size to which philosophical principles limit the utility of practical acoustics ; and below which, no art or contrivance is of the least service ! They may at any time be fixed upon the ears in a moment, and as easily removed. Hats, caps, and bonnets may be put on over them, which permits of their being worn abroad as well as at home ; and they are therefore available at church, public assemblies, an d places of business, ensuring the perpetual enjoyment of hearing to the deaf, through all the varied pursuits and pleasures of society.

It was from a poor weaver, named David JoneF, who, in 1837, was elected by his fellow-parishioners to the office of Churchwarden of a parish in Caermarthenshire, in conjunction with a gentleman of property. Soon after his election a vestry was held, when the consideration of a Church rate was adjourned. He was called upon by the Vicar to provide bread and wine for the Sacrament ; he stated to the Rev. Gentle man that he had no funds, but that did not avail, for he was cited to appear in the Ecclesiastical Court in the diocese of St. David's. The costs of the suit amounted to 801., for which large sum he was now in prison, with little hope of getting out. He prayed the House to abolish all Ecclesiastical Courts, and afford such relief as they might see fit. He (Mr. H.) considered the matter as one of much importance, and he begged to give notice that he would call-the attention of the House to the petition to-morrow. Mr. BROADLEY presented a petition from the West Riding of Yorkshire, complaining of the operation of the Poor-laws. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition in fa vour of the Corn-laws. Mr. CARTWRIGHT presented a petition from 500 of the principal owners and occupiers of land in the county of Northampton against any alteration in the Corn-laws. HOLYHEAD LINE OF ROAD. Colonel SIBTHORP presented a petition from Lincoln complaining of the unprotected state of the Irish Protestants and of the outrages which were committed on them. The Gallant Colonel went on to say he was glad a change had taken place in the Government of Ireland, and that he hoped a more effective alteration would soon be observed, when he was called to order amidst some laughter. He then moved for a return, which he said had been assented to by the Honourable Under Secretary for the Home Department, of the expense of cutting through the hills, and of similar improvements on the Holy head line of road.( Laugh ter.) Mr. HUME remarked that there was an officer who had charge of the wh .le line of road, and it would be unfair to take a portion of the report, as to one part of the road 'only, instead of getting the general account. . Colonel SIBTIIORP did not wish to take the House by surprise. His reason for wishing to have the return was that great cxpenees had been and were still being incurred. Mr. HUME'S object was not to throw any diffi culty in the way, but he thought, in the present state of things, the return would be partial. Lord DUNGANNON observed that last year a most enormous outlay had taken place, far exceeding that of former years ; he, therefore, considered that the returns were essentially necessary. _ _ Mr. F. BARING could not understand what ob jection could be offered to the return. If the return when it was laid before the House, did not answer the purposes intended, he would take care that a•proper re turn was furnished. The return was then agreed to. Mr. J. BLACKBURN presented a petition from Warrington against any further grant of money to the College of Maynooth. Mr. DARBY presented a petition from a parish in Sussex against any alteration in the Corn-lacks. Mr. MAHER presented a petition from Kilkenny, on the subject of the Irish Railway Commission. The Hon. Member gave notice that he should on Tuesday next bring the subject under the consideration of the House. Mr. W. MILES presented a petition from Bris tol, complaining of the demoralizing effects of the Beer Act. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from a person named Henry Ward, stating that he had expended 2,0001. in erecting premises and establishing 'a brewery, and prayed that in ary act to be passed for the alteration of the Beer Act, a line might be laid down between those who had embarked their property, and those who had not. Mr. HUAIE presented a petition from Maldon (Essex), stating very strongly their opinion of the injury which the country sustained from the Corn-laws, and requesting the House to institute an inquiry with a view to their total repeal. Lord DUNCANNON presented petitions from persons in Canada, complaining that the population of the province they inhabit could not join in the worship of Almighty God according to their consciences ; that 100,000 souls were wholly destitute of spiritual assistance, and praying the House to apply a remedy. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Willington, Shropshire, to the same effect. Sir G. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from the inhabitants of a place in Lincolnshir e against beer houses ; and another from the same county against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Sir JOHN OWEN said that the Hon. Member for Lambeth had presented a petition f rom a person residing in Ca rmarthenshire, in Wales, affectin g the character of the Vicar of the parish, and other indivi duals, and had moved for this petition to be taken into consideration to-morrow : there were se rious allegations contained in the petition against the parties referred to, who were conaected in the case in the Ecclesiastical Court ; and he put it to the Hon. Member, whether he bad better not give more time, by postponing his motion. Mr. B. HAWES said the request was a perfectly reasonable one; not but that the case was sufficiently notorious-. He would act with courtesy to the parties, and had not the slightest hesitation in complying with the request of the Hon. Member. Mr. ELLICE, jun., presented a petition from a a place in the County of Fife, principally signed by agricultural labourers, against the Corn-laws. The Hon. Member also presented three other petitions on the same subject. Mr. M‘KINNON wished to ask the Chancellor ok the Exchequer a question relative to the new Houses of Parliament. If he understood rightly, the dam was to be finished in May, 1838, and the sea wall in 1839. That had not been done, and he wished to know Nether the delay had originated from quick-sands, or what other cause. Tao CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, wra understool, stated that he would made inquiry at he Board of Wo"ks, and let the lion. Member know. RIVER SHANNON. Mr. FRENCH enquired when the report of the Committee of the River Shannon Navigation would be laid before the Hots The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied, very shortly ; and in answer to a question from Mr. O'Brien, was understood to say that the Govern ment would before long introduce a Bill on the subject. RAILWAYS. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET wished to ask of the President of the Board of Trade whether it was his intention to move for a Select Committee, or to in troduce a measure, as to conveyance by railways ? It was quite necessary before the House proceeded ~vita any Railway Acts, that the mind of the House should be made up as to the propriety of enacting any new astringent measures for rendering the Railway Com p inies more responsible for injuries occasioned by the neglect and carelessness of their servants.—( Hear.) Mr. P. THOMSON answered that he could not positively say what his intentions were as to this subject. But he was quite willing to say it was worthy the con sideration of the House—( Hear, hear) —and that circumstances had lately been brought to his know ledge, convincing him that it was important, either by the appointment of a Select Committee, or by the introduction of a Government measure, to discuss the propriety of making some regulations, which were for merly neglected—(hear, hear)—not through any fault of his (Mr Thomson's), but through the current of public feeling being then against such regulations ; he would certainly give the question the best consideration in his power. He thought it would be impossible in the Committees on Private Bilis, to introduce the ne nessary additional regulations : for those Committees were in general occupied by private interests, and the public interests were too much n' gl !cted.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It was therefore essent'al that the House itself should consider the subject : and on al) , fresh applications ; or applications for enlarged powers, by the promoters of 'Away schemes, to cffe,:t such alterations as would save the pub is from the great inconveniences to which they had been subjected by the Railway Companies.—( Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL said a Committee had bean appointed with respect to the arrangements on pirate bills ; and there had been a great number of applications. for such Bills. Now it was important to know whether the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade con terndlated the probability of any new arrangements with respect to the conduct of private business being made at so early a period of the present Session, as to apply to Bills in progress during the present Session? And might in not be necessary to postpone the period for the consideration of some private bills which ttool first for discussion. If any alterasion were contemplated as to the selection of Commit!ees on private bills, it would be impossible to apply it during the present Sess . ° ; and might it not be necessary to extend the time, or to give facilities for the mature consideration of the subjecs? Mr. P. THOMPSON s.tid his object in moving for a Committee on private business was to follow out the recommendation of the Select Committee of last year ; viz. that a Committee be appointed on the opening of each Session, with the view of considering certain points, either mentioned in the Report, or which were considered subjects for further deliberation in the Committee. One of those points related to the Com mittee lists that might be •speedily-disposed of, but he agreed that, if necessary, it would be desirable to defer for a week or a fortnight, any proceeding on private Bills. RAW COTTON. Mr. PHILLIP HOWARD wished to suggest to the C . nancellor of the Exchequer, seeing the feeling evinced by the division of yesterday, whether it would not be well, in order to secure our manufacturers against foreign competition in order to leave the country from the heavy duty on raw cotton. He could not expect an immediate answer from the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he would beg l eave t o d raw atten ti on t o th a t im portant subject in making his financial arrangements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his Hon. Friend had told the House he did not ex pect an immndiate answer, and it certainly would be improper in him not to reserve such a subject for his financial statement. Mr. BLEWITT gave notice that he should, on an early day, move for an humble Address to her Ma jesty for copies of, or extracts from, foreign Govern ments or Am'iassadors, between the yevrs 1815 aad 1838, containing any complaint with reference to the duty on the importation of foreign grain or flour, or any proposal for interchanging mercantile productions founded on the abolition or reduction of such duties. LICENSED VICTUALLERS. Mr. HUME gave notice that to-morrow he should move for a return of the number of Licensed Vic tuallers, and the numbe r of keepers of Beer Shops Licensed to sell beer, who had been charged with breaches of the revenue laws in England, and Wales for the years 1836, 37, and 38, stating the number of.each who had been convicted. Mr. 11 AWES gave notice that he should on Friday week call the attention of the House to the petition he had that day presented from David Jones, at present confined in Carnarvon Castle. IRISH RAILWAYS. An HON. MEMBE R gave notice that on the 10th of March he should call the attention of the House to the Report of the Commissioners on Irish Railways, and point out the injurious cff,ets of that Report upon the enterprise and capital of that country. SUPPLY. Tke CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE QUER moved the order of the day for the House going into a Committee of Supply, for t!,e purpose of postponing it. PUBLIC CREDIT—DEFICIENCY BILLS. Mr. PATTESON would take that opportunity of asking a question of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he thought it of the highest importance to the public credit that the state ment made in a paper of that day should be contradicted if it was not founded on fact. The statement to which he alluded was to the effect that no portion of the de ficiency bills had been paid off since the Ist of January. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had not seen the paragraph in question, but in the course of that clay he had received a communication from his Right Hon. Friend the Comptroller of the E xc hequer, calling his attention to the extraordinary statement which had appeared relative to the matter to which the Right Honourable Member had alluded. It was not because he thought such statements should be put a stop to, or refuted, that he replied to the question, because he thought that the -more free and unrestricted discussion was out of doors, the better it was for the community at large. But if the statement made had a tendency to affect the public credit, and if it admitted of an immediate direct Contradiction, he thought it justifiable for any lion. Member to ask the question, and the duty of any Member of the Go vcrnment who could do so to aniwer the question. Hi s attention had been called to it by his Ri g h t H on. Friend the Comptroller of the Exchequer, and t h e b est answer that he could give to the question whi c h had been put, was to read the letter frothhis Ri g h t Ho nourable Friend, i n which he stated, he had always disregarded statem ents which ap peared in the public press respecting the conduct of business in that office, and if he now deviated from that course, it was because he considered an articl e which had appeared in that days City intelligence as vitally affect ing the public credit, and that it became necessary for him to declare the statement totally unfounded and at complete variance with the existing state of the financial department. (Loud cheers.) His Right Hon. Friend then referred to the fact, which the House he was satisfied would have great ple asure in hearing, that so f ar from no a mount of any deficiency bills hay ing be en p a id o ff since the Ist of JanuarY, that a larger amount had been paid off in the present year, than for any s i m il ar per i o d i n f or mer years. — (Hear, heat.) It was not for the purpose of contradicting a paragraph of that description that he had made the state ment , because such paragraphs were generally written without any kn ow l e d ge o f t h e o fficial fact s , but the Hous e would feel that in a matter so de,eply affecting 110 USE OF LORDS, FEB. 12. CANADA. The Earl of WINCIIILSEA brought forward his motion with respect to the appointment of Mr. Turton. Lard MELBOURNE placed the most entire reliance on the sincerity of the Noble Earl, as expressed in his addrs sa, that he neither upon the former nor upon the present occasion, brought forward this question with any other than the purest motives, or any other desire than to have manifested that which undoub:edly was the best safe guard to the best interests of the country, viz, pure and honest statements connected with public affairs, on the part of persons holding high stations.—( Hear, hear.) At the same time he should be deceiving their Lordships if he were not to state that he felt this question brought forward on this occasion with considereb:e concern, not on his own account—not on account of the Noble Earl, who was moro particularly connected with this transaction than himself, but on account of the Learned Gentleman who, without his presence, and without having the opportunity of defence afforded to him had been made the subject of public animad versions and discussions —animadversions and discussions which must necessarily be very painful to his feelings, and not a little injurious to his prospects.--( llear, heat.) It was impossible not to feel the hardship of the case upon him. With respect to what took place on the former occa sion, he Lord M. had only to say that in circumstanecs which took place respecting the appointment of that gen tleman by the Noble Earl, had induced a strong opinion in his mind that no such appointment would take place ; and it was under that impression he gave that assurance to the Houselic had given. The Noble Earl behind him a:)- peered to have acted under a differ, nt impression-Lin this respect, that he acid.' under the distinstion which he drew on a former occasion between the office he gave and the other offices which were in the gift of the Crown —a distinction which lie (Lord M.) owned he could not concur in.---( Hear, hear.) Their Lordships would per haps not be surprised that he who had recommend e d the rescinding of that appointment on that occasion, should not have been inclined to disturb the Government of the Noble E irl by insisting on the dismissal of that Gentle man.—( Hear, hear.) In this situation matters stood until the whole was cancelled by those more serious even:s which not only put an end to this appointment, but also put an end to the Government of the Nublc Earl himself. This transaction was then entirely merged and lost in the effect of those greater occurrences. Under these circum. stances, seeing that this was a question of a very peculiar nature—seeing that it was a question, the agitation of which must necessarily occasion extreme pain —and seeing that no greater satisfaction would be obtained by the Noble Earl obtaining the production of the dispatches, which as to the greater part of them, as ould afford no information at all upon the subject, and considering the information ho had now the productiongiven,trustedheof the t dispatches. he Noble iathec Ea s. rl would not press his m o tio n f or The Earl of WINCtiILSEA said it was not his intention to hare taken this course if the answers to his questions, given by the Noble Viscount, had been satisfactory. It was the furthest thing from his wish, unless compelled by an imperative sense of public duty, to take any course calculated to inflict pain on any in dividual. It was a sense of public duty that had compelled lion to come forward now as he had done, and he had to express his regret that the grounds on which he had come for ward being public grounds, communications of a pri. vete mature had taken place by her Majesty's Government on this subject; and that he should have to be informed there was no communication of a public character upon it which could afford any information. Lord ME LBO URNE said none of a public character respecting the latter part of it. The Earl of WI NC HIL SE A expressed his honest and sincere regret, that when 'the Noble Viscount owed it to the ountry to take a public course, however painful to him, he h ould have failed to have taken a public course. Having sa is fled his own mind upon this subject he would now leave it in the bands of the House. He could not but express his de p regret at the course taken by the Noble Viscount, be cause, if by an inadvertency the Noble Lord intrusted with a groat public mission, should have to be remonstrated w. h, and that was to take place in the shape of a private o immunication, and the private nature of that communica tion to be urged afterwards, as a reason why the public should not know what had taken place, then the public could nit but be prevented from having that information to which it was entitled. Lord BROUG ANI said that having taken Fart in the observations that were made on this subject More. he cJuld not but join with the Noble Viscount in expressing a hopethat the No l Earl would withdraw his motion, the pressing of which cou!d lead to no advantage after the explanation which had taken place. The Earl of WINCHILSEA said it was his int mtitn to withdraw it. Lord BRO UG HA M was extremely happy to hear that which he was not before aware of. Nothing could be more' candid and fair than the statements of the Noble Viscount at the head of her Majesty's Gavernment. This was a painful subject to allude to, but it would be more painful to him ( Lord B.) not to make an observation or two upon the subject. However much a circumstance in Mr. Turton's conduct was to be condemned, yet be bad long known him, and his Noble Friend behind him (tho Earl of Durham)had known him for a very many years—he was at school with him ; he knew well his excellent general cha racter, his great abilities, and his extensive information ; he (Lord Brougham) too, well knew his abilities and great information, and he would venture to say there was not a man in the profession of the law or out of it, of a more exalted character, of higher honour, or purer spirit, or of a more unblemished character, than Mr. Turton, and that. very few men were a greater ornament to the pro fession of the law than him. He felt bound from what had been said, and from the stigma that had been thrown upcn him to ssy thus much. With respect to the particu. lar transaction, he (Lord B.) was the last man in the world who would stand up to defend an act of seduction or adultery ; but he would add that a Noble Friend of his now no more, who, from his official situation as Lord Chief Justice of England, was as sensitive as any man upon a case of this kind, directed his particular attention to the case. lie ( Lord B.) had heard that case in that House in his official character ; and his. late Nob!e and Learned Friend had said to him there was such a case coming before him; there was a strong prejudice against the party whom he ( Lord Brougham) had known for a long time ; and that something had fallen upon his car upon going the Cir cuit in that part of the country, which led him to believe that that we was not so bad as was generally circulated— therefore, said his Noble Friend to him, ." have your at tention awake to the circumstances." His answer to his Noble Friend was, " I shall do so most willingly, but you must assist me in it—you must come and sit with me—l wish to have the comfort of your assistance on the occasion." That Noble and Learned Lord came—he sat two days hearing it, and then he said, " I think you will pretty well see now that I had some ground for my remark." Those who were sitting with him then said they saw very well how it was, and that it was by no means so bad a case as had been supposed, very little out of the ordinary way ; and the Noble and Learned Lord was told that he had then better go to Guildhall, because they could then deal with the case very well themselves. Now, he desired it to be understood that he was the last man to say a word in justification of adultery, but still he h Sped Noble Lords would not run into excess, which was cer tainly a very bad thing for morality on all occasions, but remember that cases which were called by the same name presented every shade of variety. Apart from that trans action Mr. Turton was a man of the highest talent, the m' , at procound incarnation, and upright character. Lord WICKLOW could not conceive that what the Noble and Learned Lord had just said with respect to the private communiettions which he had alluded to, was likely to raise the high character of the judicial functions and sta tion of this country. Lord BOCA; DAM said if that was the Noble Lord's opinion, it was one of the most astonishing opinions he had ever heard. All that he said was, that his late Noble and Learned Friend had requested him to attend to this case, because it required particular attention. Was no attention to be paid to a private commui.ication ? Then, what was their Lordships to do when they received an invitation to dinner?. Lord WICK LOW meant judicially. Lord BROUGHAM meant judicially too.—( Hear, hear.) Hear, hear l—yes, and understand as well 65 hear. What was the use of hearing unless Noble Lords would also understand ? Let not the country be told that justice was well administered because persons did not choose to under stand it. That case had been heard for three days, it was thoroughly understood, it was properly disposed of, and no thing improper had taken place in refarenec to any commu nication made In respect of it, but on the contrary. The Earl of WICK LO W—My Lords, the Noble and Learned Lord may be as uncourteous as he pleases towards me ; for myself I do not rare, but the statements will go forth to the public. No insulting language which he from his usual vocabulary may be pleased to use towards me, will a'.ter my impression. It Is not my impression that is of any importance, but the statement vvhieh the Noble and Learned Lord has made with regard to the manner in which he has exercised the judieiteflinctions of this House will g .s o forth to the country, and the country w ill b e a bl e to ttde between us. Loral 131t0 U HA g—And the country will judge most justly. The people of this country have understanding and can comprehend what is said—(Laughter) —and will not run away with all erroneous impressions. I deny having used any insulting language.—( Ilear, hear.) If the No ble Lord will name any one word I said in the presence of your Lordships at all insulting, or which would show an intention to insult, or even to treat the Noble Lord with disrespect —if the Noble Lord will point out any such word I will retract and apologise for it.—( Hear, hear.) I cannot say anything more fain—( hear, hear.) The Noble Lord forgets that he said the most offensive thing which one man can say against another.—(Hear, hear.) lie said that I and a Noble and Learned Lord had com bined together to defeat the course of justice. Now, whether anything could be more offensive then that I leave to your Lordships to say. Lord AB INGE R, who spoke in a very low tone of voice, said, as we understood, that the proceeding referred o was not a judicial proceeding. Lord MELBOURNE said, that as what he had stated had been misunderstood, he wished to add a few words in explanation. When he said there was no despatch on the subject of the appointment, he meant to refer entirely to the course lie had taken as the head of the Government, and which lie had thought himself bound to do in conse quence of what had taken place. That, however, was conducted by private correspondence; but there was some other correspandence from his Noble Friend then at the head of the Colonial Depart ment, in . which he stated that the appointments of the Executive Council were approved of, with the exception of the appointment of Mr. Turton, of which he expressed disapprobation, and requested an explanation, in order that the Noble Lord might not suppose no official notice was taken of that appointment. The Earl of DURIIA M.—My Lords, It is impossible for me to allow this discussion to pass without addressing a few words to your Lordships, not so much on account of the speech of the Noble Lord opposite, but on account of the statements made by the Noble Viscount at the head of the Government. And I feel it necessary to recall to yot r Lordships' recollection the statement I made yester day, and to adhere to that statement, in the essential part of it, as regards my own character—namely, that I made that appointment on my own responsibility, and without considering that I bad in any degree committed her Ma jesty's Government on the subject. I considered, and I still believe the. I bad a right to avail myself of the privilege which has b. , en accorded to all Governors as regards ho norary Executive Councillors, who have been distinguished from the mandamus Councillors, in consequence of the opinion g by Attorney and S elicitor Generals Yarrow and Shepherd, that the appointment of honcrary Coun cillors never could officially come before any G ivcrnmeet. Now, my Lords, whatever may be the impression exis•ing t o o n y t ( l u e r m i tl d r s i f h Noble ips, and hope, Nrisco Viscount, I whatever most may ay distinctlyb be you your assert e. judicc against my public career, that you will at least from shat you have seen of me give credence to what I distinctly and solemnly assure you of—l assert that I considered after what had passed I was justified in giving any appointment to that Learned Gentleman, provided it did not affect her Majesty's Government. I did it on my own respcnAibilit., and acted strictly and honourably according to the under standing that existed between us before I left. Now, my Lords, I will not shelter myself under the recommendation of any inditidual in this country as regards this appoint ment. If any such recommendations were given to me from any quarter it was solely done in the hope of bene fiting me, and it wou'd be ungrateful of me to shelter myself under those recommendations. I therefore dis tinctly and openly avow that it was upon my own respon sibility that I gave the appointment to that Learned Gen tleman. I considered I was acting according to the pledge I had given. and the understanding I had come to with the Noble Viscount before I left, and which unders standing has bean since corroborated by those who were conversant with it. The Noble Viscount has cn tered Tutu a narrative of this transaction,and had - stated to your Lordships that private letters, and public des patches were written on this subject, and that in a private letter I had declared my hononr was pledged, and that I could not retract the appointment. First of all with,regard to those private letters. It is perfectly true the Noble Viscount did Fopose to me to rescind that appointment, and I declared that having already made it, and having refused the resignation which that Learned Gentleman ten dered rue of the race, that I could not in honour rescind the appointment, and the only course left to me, therefore, was to tender my own resignation ; and to repeat an ex pression which I made use of in one of my letters—l would rather cut my right hand off than do any thing which could be c insidered as having a tendency towards the dis credit or disgrace of that Learned Gentleman. With regard to the pubic despatches, I must say after what has passed, that I do think I have a right to call for the production of those putilie despatches. lam not ashamed of them. I wish the despatches I wrote may be made public. Or, if Noble Lords do not think proper to move an address for them, perhaps the Noble Viscount will give me leave to read a copy of that despatch. I will not have it supposed there is anything in the despatches I wish to conceal, or that anythii.g further than the motives I have stated to you, would induce me to make the appointment. It would be an infinite satisfaction to me, if every word I wrote in private, aril every word I wrote in public, on this subject, were detailed to the House. I have no cause to be ashamed of it; and it would be seen that the circum stances in which I was placed with regard to that Learned Gentleman, were such that I was bound even to make a sacrifice myself, rather than he should suffer. And now, my Lords, one word with reference to that individual. I feel very much obliged to my Noble and Learned Friend below me (Led Brougham) for having called your Lord ships' attention to the eminent professional talents of that Gentleman. I had known him from his earliest infancy. but we were separated by the ordinary circumstances of life—he went to India and I remained in this country. I knew his professional talents— I knew besides, when he was recommended to me, that he had been employed as Advocate-General in India by Lord Combermere, above a year and a quarter—that Lord Amherst confirmed the ap poin nt,:nt, and that he discharged his duties so well to the satisfaction of the Governor and Council of India, that they did what was a most unprecedented thing, namely. voted him 5,000 sicca rupees, and also a vote of thanks for his conduct— Lord BRO LTG HA M.—As Advocate-General? Lord I) H A M.— Yes ; a vote of thanks for his con duct as Advocate-General. Is it to be endured therefore, that I should be blamed for appointing to this trumpery office a man who had filled the highest judicial situation in India ?—( Hear, hear, from Lord Brougham). Was Ito be denied the privilege never denied to Lord Combermere or to Lord Amherst, of taking advantage of his legal and professional services? Nut only that, but the inhabitants of Calcutta, Bengal, and Madras, elected him their agent in this country to be in communication with our Government. All those unfortunate circum stances, which have been made so much of here, were matter of notoriety, and were known in Calcutta, and yet he received these proofs of the confidence and esteem of those who knew him. Why, he held the office of churchwarden of the cathedral church in Calcutta up to the hour that he let. Whatever may be your opinion, and whatever may be the ridicule Noble Lords opposite may make of the matter, I suppose a person appointed to that situation in the Church, could not be considered as a very immoral person. Under these circumstances it was that I availed myself of his services—services unpaid for to this very hour. He has not received one farthing—he has not received any appointment for his services, and no man could possibly have acted more faithfully or zealously in the discharge of his duty. And now, my Loris, you will excuse me, I hope, if I tell you very frankly and very decidedly, that I shall not be sorry on my own account if the Noble Earl makes a specific motion relative to this appointment, because I am prepared to meet him whenever he thinks proper to make it. But the Noble Earl must be aware of the consequences to which that must naturally lead. He may think it advisable to dis. cu.s this question upon this individual case, and I may meet him on that, but it cannot end th6re.—( Hear, hear, from Lord Brougham.) I shall be prepared to discuss the question on general principles, and I feel I shall have a right to enter on the general question of adul tery, considered in reference to the conduct of public men, and the great regard your Lordships have for decorum, I am sure, will augment your regard for justice. I feel lam entitled to do that.—(Oh, oh.) Aye, and I will;go into an enquiry into the case of every public man who may have received official employment after having committed adul. tery.—( A laugh.) I am very well used to all these obstacles and impediments which Noble Lords endeavour to throw in my way. You will not with all your sneers and jeers drive me from the course I have pointed out for myself. I tell Noble Lords, that I utterly disregard all their sneer. and interruptions, and I g ive them this notice, and from their knowledge of my character . they may be sure I will act up to my promise, that if this.ex post facto condemnation is to be followed up, that at any rate the case of every individual who has been employed in an offi cial situation, and who has been guilty of an adul terous act shall be brought forward for inquiry. Whatever course my Noble Friend may think right to take, with regard to withdrawing or pressing his motion, I say I will second him in any demand for documents I may have addressed to her Majesty's Government. The Earl of W INC IH L SEA—I shall discharge what I think to be my duty in this or any other matter. I know myeelf too well to care for the taunts of any man. I will i act up. to my principles, and it the Noble Earl should bring forward any case of the nature he alluded to, I will give him my support, and be entirely uninfluenced by any principle but that of doing my duty to my country. The Marquis of WESTMEATH gave notice that on Thursday he would present a number of petitions connected with the Corn-laws. WESTLNIEATII ELECTION. - - The MARQUIS of WESTMEATH, in moving. for the additional papers relating to the inve;tigation held at Mullingar, before John Brooks, Esq., said he had given notice of a motion respecting the election for the county of Westmeath, which he had determined to bring forward to-day, whether the Noble Marquis at the head of the Irish Government were in the House or not, " That these papers be laid on the table." There were 48 pages, of evidence with remarks appended. The MARQUIS of NORMANBY was nut away , what the papers were that the Noble Marquis had alluded to, but lie dared say there would be no objection to their production. Tho - Marquis of WESTMEATH st:11 thought it his duty to make his statement. The evidence he had stated was contained in 48 pages, and the paper appended to it was a judicial opinion on the evidence. A Noble Lord bad last night said that t he easiest way to dispose of the ens° was to put aside all evidence, and it would appear in his case the Commissioner bad passed over the whole of the evidence, and had brought his ( Lord Westmeath's) name in in a manner wholly unjustifiable. He said, in the first place, that the Marquis of W T estmeath did not attend this investigation ; he then said that be was dir ec t e d to hold an investigation into certain circumstances which took ph,ca at Mullingar. (The Noble Marquis here read a letter addressed to the Iri-h Government, asking what course he was to take in the investigation.) Now, in the fi rs t place he found it necessary to say he had nev:r made any charge on that subject ; in December, 1837, a certain statement was made before the Magistrates of the County of Westmeath, respecting the matter to which those papers related, when the Chief Constable said he could give the Magistrates no information ; he consequenCy wrote to Lord Morpeth, asking l eave f or Mr. Rowan to commu nicate to him (th , ,! Marquis of Westmeath) the information re quired. lie got no answer to this letter. In June he called the attention of their Lordships, and shortly after received a letter from Mr. Drummond, stating that his letter had been sent to Lord Morpeth, that it had subsequently been mislaid and that search was making for it ; but what would their Lordships think, when he told them that those identical papers, which could not be found on the 11th of Dec , were found in the bands of a .political club at Mullingar, and bad been inspected by four Roman Catholics. And, near a year after this, the Secretary anxious to make him believe they were lost. The cireum - stances were certainly not such as Mr. Drummond had stated them to be, but it appeared that in Sept., he (Mr. D.) had a long interview with Mr. Shoji, and now he had something to say respecting the conduct of Government. Mr. Rowan and the constabulary force had received the thanks of the Lord Lieutenant through Colonel Sh a y, Kennedy and Mr. O'Donoghue, for their good conduct a , this election. Now what was the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant towards these officers, to whom they had re turned their thanks? These officers had thought it their duty to make a representation against the conduct of two persons whom the Lord Lieutenant was pleased to protect, He ( Lord Westmeath) did not wonder at this, b e _ cause one of these persons had been appointed R, magistrate against the expressed opinion of himself (the Marquis of Westmeath). The Lord Lieutenant was thus in some measure implicated by that appOintment, he was committed to it, and it was necessary to see if he could not , justify it. Now wh a t was th e co u rs e the Government took? ! afte Daglaseau, who was the Chief-constable, received the ; order at his station in the county of Louth to ge to Dublin on the Monday : he went there on the Tuesday. On the 'Wed nes as he saw Colonel Shaw Kennedy—set off for Alillitiga r on the Thursday, not having received any information respect ing the investigation, and on the Monday that investigation took place. What was the mode adopted at this investigation? The Government positively put their own officers on trial, and not the persons charged with misdemeanour by the officers of the Government. In consequence of Mr. Daglaseau objecting to this course, he was distinctly told by the Counsel on the opposite side that he was to consider himself on his trial. His Counsel then demanded that the an • veers of the gentlemen to the charges which had been brought against them should be furnished him. Mr. Daglaseau was no; furnished with them, the Chairman saying that it wee- not at that stage of the proceeding that that application should I mad The only opportunity that Mr. Daglaseau had for look ine at these replies had been when they were sent down to him at " his station at Lo • th, at which time he was not suffered to copy them, but was ordered to send them back by the orderly dragoon who had brought th in. He was put on his trial for exceeding his duty, and no opportunity was afforded him to rebut the charges.—(Hear, hear.) Now it was mentioned at the head of the evidence—before the evidence was gone into —at the very commencement of the minutes that Counsel or. behalf of Mr. Daglaseau having stated that that gentleman was not in possession of copies of the replies made by these Magi -strates to the charges brought against them, such copies were furnished to him by direction of the Court; such was not the case. These documents had been refused them, and yet this statement was made in order to make the proceeding appear less unfair. When Mr. Daglaseau was furnished with these copies does not appear. They may have been furnished him subsequently! but certainly not at the commencement of the proceedings• He would read the report of the trial from the short-hand writer's notes, which he intended subsequently to more for, so that if he committed any mistake the Noble Marquis isof wool l have an opportunity of cm recting it.—( The Marquis meath, . fter turning over several papers, said he could not exactly lay his hand on that part of the evidence he wanted to find.) He did not understand what right the Lord Lieutenant had to institute investigations of this kind—he seemed to take authority in his own hands, like a third Daniel, to come to a very wise decision: He would not go further into the subject until the papers were laid before the House; and he would only mention a part of the investigation which bore a personal relation to himself, that there was never seen anything so unfair. A Mr. Egan, Crown prosecutor, had been asked whether he (Lord Westmeath) was not a mem ber of the Liberal Club in the county, .when the Liberal Club had never been mentioned during the course of th e investiga tion. - tion. Their Lordships, after all thi s hard swearing, would be Rh-prised to hear that he never was a member of a Liberal Chili in Ireland. He believed that the rin Liberal was used bY a band of persons whose only object was t o p l ace the whole of Ireland under the dominion of the Roman Catholics. It was true that previous to the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, being of opinion that the representatio n of Ireland was too much of a family concern—that he was the member of a club called. the Independent Club, the members of which were associated together for the purpose of making heal against such a system of representation. Matters, however, i n Ireland, were now changed. The Irish Reform Bill, and the Roman Catholic Relief Bill had passed, and the Roman Catho -1 cs could not any longsr complain of being excluded, and there tore, since then, that club had been broken up. He did no: I believe that he had attended that club more than twice, and ye' for that he was to be accused of having changed his principles. Trusting that the House would pardon hjm for having occupi so much of its time, he would conclude by moving the moticr. of which he had given notice. The Marquis of NORMANBY did not complain of the 1 want of candour on the part of the Noble Marquis, beeanse his former experience of the vulgar manner in wilich the Noble Marquis usually brought the subject forward, prevented him . ] from doing so. (Hear, hear, hear. But he complained of its being brought forward as itliad been with reference to the interests of truth, as concerned in the present investigation. There could be no doubt that the Noble. Marquis's intention was to state that which would lead thcii Lordships to a just and fair conclusion ; but he did not believe that any other person, with the exception of the Noble Marquis, would have brought themselves to believe the facts which le had stated. Now what were the facts of the case? Why, the papers had not been printed more than a week, and yet the Noble Marquis, without giving him the slightest notice, or re ferring him to a single. document, brought this question forward in spite of his communication to him, that he was not aware of the facts connected with the subject; and that he had had no opportunity whatever of communicating with his Noble Friend the Secretary for Ireland. He (Lord Normanby had only arrived from Ireland last, night, and until that aftee:, noon he had not the slightest knowledge of any intention on the. part of the Noble Marquis, to bring the motion forward. He could not take upon himself to allow the publication of these papers, without inquiring how far they bore on the investiga .ion of the question. If the Noble Marquis would now with. draw his motion and give notice of his intention to bring it forward on a future day, in order that he might have an opportunity of communicating with Ireland, then h e would tell him whether he would or would not as.. sent to his motion, and when he came forward, to meet 'the Noble Morquis he should be ready to go point by point into the whole of the case. He had no desire of conceal ment—he was anxious that his decisien on the whole case should be before their Lordships. Indeed, he had intended himself to have moved for it, and he had now no objection to assent to that part of the motion of the Noble Marquis, and he would sec what further part he could assent to when he had had suf ficient time to make enquiries on the subject. He (the as quis of Normanby) thought that it was impossibl e to attrib that importance to the matter w hi c h t h e Noble M quie thought it entitled to—it arose out o f th e excitement aorf-nis election. He thought that no party were entirely free fr an blame, but no party required further noti ce to be taken ofaxia than the intimation of his opinion. Wh en he told the House that it was six months since h e h a d looked into the papers, he thought the House would take a different view to that of the Noble Marquis, as to the fairness of calling for the papers at the present moment, especially when he had told the Noble Marquis that if he would only give no tice he would be glad to adopt any course that would be most convenient. He (the Marquis of Normanby) thought the ap pearance of the benches of that House did not say much for the importance of the subject the Noble Marquis had brought for ward. He pledged himself to prove, when time had been given him to look into the papers, that Mr. Brooke was a most honourable matt, and that the insinuations of the Noble 'Mar quis that Mr. Brooke had been influenced by a desire to look to the Government for support, were totally unwarranted and un justifiable. He thought the insinuations of the Noble Marquis would lower him in the esteem of that House and the country, and he defied him to prove them. He would also defy bins 1. - prove the statements that he had made against Mr. Drum. mond. That gentleman held a public office, and must tell the Noble Marquis that lie had feelinle as well as himself. He did not believe that the c om b o '' piirsued by the Noble Marquis—the unwarrantable and unjusti fiable course he had pursued, would have been adopted by ale. other Noble Lord in that House. He would not impute motive to the Noble Marquis, but his ideas of his duty appeared to , (Lord Normanby) to be very different from the generality men. As the Noble Marquis had alluded t o M r Shiel,ytl' Magistrate, and had stated that he (Lord Normanby) ought • have been impeached for appointing him, h e would just advi to a letter from the Magistrates of Westmeath to that eenth - wan ; but before he did so, he w ou ld say that he belies bins ;to be a most excellent and efficient Matsist'r: and that he had never seen any reason whatever to regret appointment. The letter to which he would advert, from li. Magistrates of Westmeath, stated that they were convinced had never sat drinking in a public-house, and that his character was perfectly free from all such imputations. He (Lord Ncrs manby) had begun by stating that he would not answer the Noble Marquis now, but he should have no objection to de se when he had all the facts and details before him. —(Hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW was not surprised at the anxiety his Noble Friend to bring forward the present subject, becale in the papers before the House severe accusations were mees against him. He wished for an explanation on one poi, , which was, how it happened that the Counsel appointed by ; h„ Noble Marquis opposite, to go into the country to investigate the matter, had net made any repot t ? In his opinion the pas,ere furnished would be of no value without a report; and he h o p,i that the Noble Marquis would adopt some means of ascertain. inn the truth of the documents. The Marquis of .NORMANBY believed there were n n other papers to be laid upon the table of the House. Mr. Brooke he believed was of opinion that the wholeesn , affair io was of a very trivial nature, and his (Lord Normanby' s) s) d much in conformity with the opinion of M r Brooke, to ,e nothing. great deal had been made of that which amounted . report, his astonishment for a r e at number of the Cs;es'el Lord HOLLAND thought if the Noble Earl felt surprietel that Mr. Brooke had not made a extend to the whole sessioni., inthat g and the other H ouse of minces who had sat , b ° Parliament, h a d only reported the evidence, and felt b. end and not mede any particular repor t u to deprecate the motion of the H the facts. a Noble Marquis, on accou i e its being brought forward without notice. 5,,,e adopted by Mr. Br oo k e a trivial nature that the course bbl the only one he Id I was Lord CLOIN CURRY considered that the matter wa s o ' h not only the best but pro a y WESTMEATII we replied—He denied that pursued. against Mr. Drummond ' ( ; a he t prove by documents.

In answer . to that he begged to say that the cours e ha .h—es(itation in an- Hear. ) pursued was one which he conscientiously believed to be right,, and in addition he would say that it was his firm conviction that the manner of conducting the government of Irelaml which had been adopted by the Noble Marquis would have been p ee _ h c a o d u I t o r y iii ceding to the wish of the Noble Marquis in withdrawing his sued eist:e he ot h N e T r oll l'4 ld o o b n l e l y Lord sa3 , , that in t h h e e intention to renew it motion, giving notice of hison a future day. 'I . he Marquis of NORMANBY hoped the House would not suppose that he acquiesced in the opinion that Mr. she.,l wit guilty of ar.y of the offences with which the Noble Marquis had charged him. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, it was not pimply Mr. Shed he charged, but the whole of the party. The Marquis of NORMANBY, at all events. hoped • Lordships would not make up their minds upon the s o l„ ''r until they had read the whole of the evidence. He was 'cct ever, bound to say, that whatever the other qualities were ' 1 % 1 1, the Noble Marquis possessed, there was one which he e uti rd h i . deny him, that of perseverance. 1 he LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a Bill for the re , u, lation of Borough Courts.
