GLOBE.—The proceedings on the writ of error, the result of which is yet in suspense, necessarily preju diced the effect of Mr. Wyse's motion of last night. The late period of the session also injured the debate. Every one is now thinking only of getting through business ; and oratory is voted a bore by common con t( sent. The division shows that only 164 Members out of 658 could be got together on this important question. It is no fault of Mr. Wyse's that the question has not i been brought forward earlier. Driven by the Govern -1 ment to the very fag-end of the session, he has judged 7 rightly in not leting the session close without making ) this motion, under whatever disadvantages of time and ci rcumstances. In the refusal of the motion Ireland s% has one more wrong to complain of—one more article of impeachment against the present Government. Mr. Wyse moved for a Committee to inquire into ) the facts connected with the formation of the special jury in the State Trial in Dublin. Lord Eliot says, " You must make out fraud before we can grant the ) Committee." But would not negligence in public offi -3 cers be sufficient to warrant, aye, to demand inquiry ? D And if fraud were already proved, or negligence either, a what need would there be, my Lord Eliot, for 5 e inquiry at all ? All that Mr. Wyse, or any other Member, can be expected, or is ever likely 2 to be able to do, is to make out a case of strong suspi cion. Such a case is sufficient ground for a Committee ; nay, makes it the duty of the Government to grant the Committee. And it should be the desire of the Govern ment, no less than it is their duty, to clear up strong 0 suspicion on such a m a tt er , if it can b e c l eared up, by 854 4 the inquiry of a Committee of the House of Com mons. As it is, it looks as if they dreaded inquiry, shrunk from an expected substantiation of Mr. Wyse's 5 charges, and were determined at all hazards to shield persons who may have been used as instruments I % for securing the conviction of the traversers. If Government are determined to oppose a motion, reasons can always be put i n t o soun d ing wor d s, w hi ch 1!4 3z are sure to elicit "hear, hear !" in sufficient numbers sx from the; claqueurs of the G overnment b enc h es ; b ut i t 3 % does not follow that the reasons are sound, or that they s% will bear the test of investigation. A motion for a Com mittee at this late period of th e sess i on i s ca ll e d a f orm ; and it is assumed that the demand for a Committee is only an excuse, and a debate upon the prosecution the 2 % real object. If the Government chose, there would be 8% , nothing to prevent a Committee being now appointed, 6% I and conducting its investigations to a close—just as the IGovernment, when they chose it, found no difficulty in a appointing the Post-office Committee after the beginning S I of the end of the sess i on. Th e Government that chooses "% ! to treat Mr. Wyse's motion as a form, itself makes it so. 5 I Every one who reads the speeches of Mr. Wyse and o i Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, and Lord Eliot's and the Solicitor-General's replies, must say that a case for in !3s. quiry was made out by the first two gentlemen, and that the replies left the case unimpaired. Take only )!,4 these two facts out of several. Before the jury-lists 3}, 1 are made up, Mr. M`Grath, the registrar, allows Con servative solicitors to compare all their lists with the i% office lists ; but refuses similar permission, except with a small portion of the lists, to the solicitors for the tra versers ; and Mr. M`Grath is found fault with by the Recorder for having allowed the office lists to be seen at all. Now, we say, take these two facts only ; there are many stronger ones adduced. But do not these two facts alone prove that there has been breach of duty by y e Mr. IPGrath, and that the traversers have not had the same advantage as parties in the opposite interest ? And what answer is it to a breach of duty on Mr. IVl`Grath's part to say, that Mr. M`Grath is a Catholic, !efi and therefore was unlikely to do anything to injure the interest of the traversers? That does not follow, my Lord. And what, in the name of everything sober, has the ra Solicitor-General's stri ng o f p ompous i n fl at i ons about ,4 the whole trial, the Attorney-General's demeanour, the Judge's charge, the writ of error, and everything else 4 1 . , that a mind which seems to ha v e no p ercept i on o f what '`" is relevent could bring into a speech, to do with Mr. d 4 Wyse's motion for an inquiry into the formation of the I jury list ? The Government rejected the motion. They 7 have managed to keep a sufficient number of their 4 4 supporters in town to reject it by a majority JAi of eighteen. Much good may this great majority do s them ! The session will close without one single ma 5T* nifestation from the Government that they earnestly de sire to do justice to Ireland, or to conciliate her affec: 2 tion. To have granted Mr. Wyse hi s C omm i ttee m i ght 0 have done some little toward s a pp eas i ng di scontent with 4 greater wrongs—with the Protestant Church, into 0 whose revenues Government has refused inquiry, and with the insult of the abandoned Registration Bill. But 2 they persist in opposing the feelings of Ireland in all 7 % matters, great and small; matters of permanent and of • temporary grievance alike. Though accident may delay 3 the retribution, sooner or later it must come. ° - "'STANDARD.—The Commons' a men d ments to " t h e 4 s Dissenters' Chapels Bill " were last night agreed to in the House of Lords, after a long d e b a t e . Th e first ° cir • cumstance that will strike the reader as remarkable in '2 this affair, is the extraordinary muster of votes in favour of a measure which, if not very limited and incon siderable in its operation, must be extensively mis chievous. The number of votes given last night— namely, 243, was, we believe, much the greatest s in the session, no less than 100 Peers and Prelates 7 (alas ! that we must include some of the latter), 8 6 attending to support a Bill which was either very insig -0 nificant or very wicked. We are wholly at a loss to 7 account for the attendance. Private canvassing in such a case may do much, and private canvassing was active, but private canvassing can hardly account for such a muster as 202 Peers. The w hole mat ter contrasts unpleasantly with the zeal displayed by the majority in the case of the St. Asaph's 3 4 Bill. Orthodox Dissenters and Churchmen, who 3. 9 s(think that the vital truths of Christianity are the highest 12 % of all considerations, will be too much disposed to infer n i that the temporalities in the St. Asaph's case made all ) 1 % the difference in the judgment of the House of Lords' 34 majority. The form in which the motion came 34 before the House, no doubt, gave considerable 2 % advantage to those who supported it, for the g m amendments of the House of Com mon s w e re pr e tty generally mitigations of the bad principle of the Bill, 5 and if the choice lay between the Bill as amended by the Lower House, and that which left the House of Lords tag with Lerd Cottenharn's finishing touch, the Bill as amended by the Commons, was undoubtedly entitled s'l to a preference. The vice is, however, in the prin. 3 } . 4 ciple of the Bill, and this vice, th e L or d s w h o h a d !, 34 .3 first sanctioned it, could not bring themselves to 7N acknowledge, for none but the best and wisest will ever acknowledge that they have been per ,34 severingly in the wrong—a warning to us all never '3(3 to be again slow in pressing the truth in a similar case. Had the feeling of the country against this . Bill been manifested before the Lords commit , i ted themselves to its odious and unjust provi sions by successive votes, the result would be different from what we have to lament. As we suppose that the Bill is now to be the law, we shall probably not have again to recur to the painful sub ject, and therefore we take the present opportunity to reject, with all the contempt which such a topic of consolation merits, the commendatory assurance 3 % ' that the measure will work impartially, and that 2 ; Churchmen and orthodox Dissenters may as freely 3 I avail themselves of it as the Socinians. This 7 consolation is illusory and insulting ; translated 10 , into plain - words it amounts to this : here is a Bill for the protection of certain cheats ; hitherto Soci- Diana only have practised these cheats ; but you see that we leave it open to Churchmen and orthodox Dissenters to practise them. It is illusory to assume that the Arch , fiend himself could cheat Socinians in any matter tem poral, or of any thing but that of which unhappily he has already_ defrauded them. It is insulting to ks s w u .n g oek g i%pl, e om s te t ikioaebt t ,t h: hypothesis that any class of Christians can imitate in retaliating their frauds. Suppose an Act of general prospective indemnity passed in favour of the w w o ot a d r s e l i a t ll be at an , consolation to honest men to liberty to pick the pockets of the pickpockets, if we choose to make ourselves amends in that way ? No, an Act like the Bill of which we speak, the purpose of which is to protect fraud, can benefit those only aho will descend to practise fraud —upon all others it is an Act of pains and penalties. , INGE.—(THIS DAY.)

FOREIGN.—For Brazil prices remain firm, and a better de mand has existed. This afternoon several inquiries existed for Foreign Sugar, and 240 cases brown Bahia were sold pri • vately for refining in bond at 18s 6d for sound, and in propor tion for the damaged, and a floating cargo of sound yellow Havannah at 19s 6d. There was no public sale._ MOLASSES.—West India is much wanted, and the total purchases do not exceed 150 casks, but holders generally have refused to take lower rates. Prices- are considerably lower than they were last season at this period. For Bengal Molasses 14s to 17s asked, but few purchasers are to be met with. To-day there was an improved demand for West India Molasses, and prices ruled firm ; sales of Antigua made at 26s per cwt. CocoA.—West India has not been much inquired for since Tuesday last, and prices have declined is per cwt. This afternoon West India Cocoa met with a limited demand; 124 barrels 121 bags were brought to public sale, and sold is to 2s under former rates.

SPICES.—The supply is increasing of Pimento, and prices are not so firm ; the demand, however, has been good. The quantity of Cinnamon de c l are d for public sale is 1,287 bales Ceylon, 172 bales 57 chests Tellicherry. COFFEE—The market has presented a firm appearance for West India Coffee since last Tuesday ; a good demand has pre veiled, the supply has fallen off, and full rates have 'been paid for all clean descriptions, but for unclean sorts rather lower prices are accepted. This afternoon the market was better supplied with Ceylon Coffee: the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 1,723 bags ; buyers were inclined to operate, and nearly the whole sold at full rates—good mid colory at 88s to 90s, real good ord pale at 51s to 51s 6d, good ord 50s, fine ord 535, low mid 755, low 48s to 48s 6d, fine ord brown 49s to 525, and sea damaged 35s 6d to 50s 6d. Of West India 11 casks 169 brls were submitted to public competition, but being unclean nearly the whole was taken in at 47s to 60s for Demerara, and 25s to 37s for triage; 120 casks Porto Rico were with drawn. TEA.—There has again been no public sale of Tea, and holders have shown firmness, refusing to sell except upon former terms. To-day several purchases were made in Tea; common sound Congou, cash, fetched 10id to 10-id, and Twankay ord is 21d to is 3d per lb. For auction on Friday 3,900 pks Pouchong are declared.

Cleaned Rice at 21s to 24s and 26s for Carolina, and 13s to 16s per cwt. for Patna. SAGO.—Common small Pearl is wanted at 12s to 13s 6d, but the better qualities are taken sparingly at I4s to 23s per cwt. Sago Flour is in request at 18s to 19s, but few sellers to be met with. Arrowroot sells more freely ; at auction 160 boxes 47 brls 47 bris 26 casks of St. Vincents fetched 4id to 81d, and 487 boxes Bermuda lld to is 4d per lb. This afternoon 85 boxes small Pearl Sago at auction went at 17s per cwt. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum at 3s 10d to 5s per gallon ; lower descriptions id to 2d per gallon cheaper, but a good demand has been experienced, and the purchases amount to 250 puns, common quality 28 to 34 per cent overproof at 2s lld to 3s Id; 29 to 35 per cent over proof faulty 2s 10 to 3s per gallon. Leeward island Rum at 2s 2hd to 2s 3d for good, and 2s 2d common proof strength. Demerara fetched 3s to 3s 3d per gallon; Calcutta Rum at Is Ild to is llid per gallon proof with certificate.

Governments were bowel by engagements wit ge land, to prohibit the slave trade, yet many of them—the Governments of Spain and Brazil notoriously --set those engagements at defiance—(Hear, hear.) In some places they even derived revenue from the violation of the treaty. Of one thing they must be assured, that all the nccounts fell short of the truth.— (Hear, hear.) Exceed it they could not ; and it was reasonable to be lieve that they fell short of it. Now, what were the numbers calculated as the annual importation into the islands and continents of America ? Mr. Vauderna, in his able work. compiled from official documents calculated the numbers of those annually landed at from 120,000 to 130,000. Sir Foxell Buxton, in his most interesting and valuable work, stated the number to be abont one hundred and firty thousand, and whatever calculation they took,what an enormous amount of human misery and of human crime, did that simple statement involve. When they looked at abstract general statements of numbers, represented by figures on paper, the mind was apt not to embrace, in all its details, the extent of the fact thus ascertained.—(Hear, hear.) But let any man consider, in his own mind, what 150,000 people were. Let any man who had seen a large army, amounting to 150,000 men, assembled at one time, imagine that he saw that number assembled together on a plain, let him consider that they were travelling fast to wards their doom—that that mass of human beings were going to painful and premature death, and under every variety of bodily and mental torture. Why would not any man who witnessed such a sight invoke the vengeance of Heaven upon the authors of such an enormity ? But if any man looked only at the number of victims actually sacrificed from the population of Africa to the avarice and the cruelty of men, he would not call them Christian men—but men belonging to Christian nations ; he would be far indeed from arriving at the truth. It was calculated, and, he believed, not without good data, that for every negro who had been landed, two others had perished in the previous stages of the slave trade. That whatever number was landed:three times :that number had been sacrificed on the passage, and before they reached the ship. It was well known that the negroes did not collect in the immediate neighbourhood in !which they were embarked. Many were imported from a greatfdistance, hundreds of miles. Some were taken captive in the wars. The greater number was the result of slave hunting or man-stealing, which prevailed over the interior of Africa. When the time of year came round for sending ehe slaves to the coast. some peaceful Arleen village, whose unsuspecting inhabitants were buried in that repose which Nature kindly bestows on man to fit him for the useful occupations and innocent enjoyments of the succeeding day—that village in the dead of night was surrounded by armed ruffians, the population were roused from their sleep by the flames which enveloped their dwellings, and endeavoured to escape, some by flight, some by resistance, but all in vain for they were overpowered, and either slain or captured. Sometimes the village was on a hill, which afforded great natural facilities for escape, and many of the unfortunate creatures buried themselves in caverns, but these they were compelled to evacuate, for their inhuman pursuers made a tire at the mouth of the cavern, so that they had only the choice between suffocation and captivity. Thus all were com pelled to yield. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. --- The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack shortly after Five o'clock. Lord KENYON presented a petition from a number of farmers of Cheshire, praying for protection to agri culture. Lord BEAUMONT presented several petitions in favour of the Charitable Bequests Bill. A RT-UNIONS. Lord MONTEAGLE laid on the table a Bill for the purpose of regulating the art-unions. The object of the Bill was to legalise such unions as obtained charters, and to give to those that did not, provided they were approved of by the Board of Trade, the same privileges. The Bill was read a first, and ordt , red to be read a second time. GAMING BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the second reading of the Gaming Qui-Tam Actions Bill. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL, the Bi!1 was read a first time. PARTY PROCESSIONS. The Earl of WICKLOW wished,to know whether it was the intention of the Government to renew the Bill for the suppression of party processions in Ireland, and if so, whether it was their intention that the new Bill should extend to certain new institutions and processions which had lately sprung up ? Lord WHARNCLIFFE said the Bill had been intro duced in the other Housa, and when it came up to their Lordships' House any clause could be inserted which their Lordships should think fit. CASE OF MR. O'DRISCOL. Earl FORTESCUE then rose to move for information respecting the grounds upon which Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll had been restored to the commission of the peace. Mr. O'Driscoll was a magistrate in the county of Cork. It appeared that, while out hunting, he saw two or three boys on a portion of his land, who upon seeing Mr. O'Driscoll, run away. Mr. O'Driscoll pursued them and overtook one of the boys, upon whom he inflicted severe punishment with his whip. The matter was brought before the other magistrates, and Mr. O'Driscoll was fined £2 and costs. Upon this decision being announced, Mr. O'Driscoll declared that his brother magistrates had not done him justice, and some altercation ensued, and the result was that. the matter was brought under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and Mr. O'Driscoll was dismissed from the magistracy, but was ultimately reinstated in the commission of the peace. It was respecting this restora tion that the Noble Earl moved for information. Lord WHARNCLIFFE did not think the Noble Earl had laid any Parliamentary grounds for the production of papers relating to this case. He would not, however, meet the case upon technical grounds. He thought it would be evident to every one who had read the let era that had passed between the parties in this case, that Much exaggeration had taken place. There could be no doubt that the boy in question had been made a tool of in order to get up a case against Mr. O'Driscol. There could be no doubt that Mr. O'Driscol had been guilty of excessive warmth of temper. It would, however, be remembered that he was interrupted in his field sports, by a lot of boys, ann their Lordships must all feel how very annoying it was to be treated in the way these boys had treated Mr. O'Driscol.—(Laughter.) -----et obLroerl religion d gi T o E n Y b N y Ei th A i s M ß f i e l l i t . that Th e a doereipgiwa original n o d w w o e a r s s inflicted o i n f g t h conviction h ( i tr m e p w r e a s s s e n d o t on a h d i i i n s , p o t s h i a t i t oo u p t o o n g t i li v e e c t o h n e d r d. property, respeeting which this Bill hrd been fremed, cused ever fair advantage which they ha e d th a e r e i e g e h d t uc tl would rather have suffered fine and confiscation—would demand. —(Hear, hear.)

Surely the spirit of British law was—if traversers .. was, as he said before, for the copy 0 1 stage, and their Lordships adjourned, man were indicted, he should know the accusation against him, and who were his accusers.—(Hear, h ea r . ).. _~ The claim was not made in the spirit of idle curiosty . but as a matter vital to the defence of the accused he had a right to know whether the indictment was En _ ' tnesses-7 - cording to the statute, and how, according to the ter ms and charges of the indictment he could best defend h self. He looked to the statute and found that certain conditions were required. He now understood that thethe reason leave of inspection was refused, was because n. , Crown were desirous to press on the case, feared advantage might be taken and delay e. m interposed. ight b e d elay Well, and 'and just i d f ela t y h . e — re (il w eer in justice; and the accused had a right to that delay which delay, T m h ig e b r t w bhee a r s e the delay of justice and the delay of , would enable him to prepare his defence. The tra verser's attorney applied fo r th e capt i on; the capt i on , too, was refused—th e C rown sa i d the accused had no _ right to it, but the jud ges were not so clear upon the t. point. But he wo u ld not d we l l upon these minute o but the painful grievances. H e wou ld come at once t grand -question o f comp l a i nt—the whole ground of ee. triumph •of the Government on this occasion—the jury. If all the other proceedings were dictated by a spirit of the utmost fairness, and if the jury were unequally, partially, unjustly, improperly selected, no matter what might be the crime of the individual, the trial was unfair.—(Hear, hear.) The tribunal was not what a British subject had a right to expect. There was an essential want—a want which vitiated the whole proceedings, and which entitled the prisoner to say be had not had a fair trial. He (Mr. Wyse) would under ' take to show them that tribunal was defective —m os t de fective—and, if he did so, he would call upon the British House of Commons, as the protector of the Constitu tion and of the liberties of the people —as the pre server of the purity of trial by jury —the greatest palladium of the British people —to i nq uire into the facts and see who, were the defaulters. He would call upon them to free themselves from the imputation of being participators in the injustice—to listen to the people who cried out " Hear us." If they would not do so, they would show more convincingly by their own act than by any allegation of the Irish people, that they w ere not di sposed to do justice to their fellow-subjects.—(Hear.) (The Hon. Gentlemen then alluded to two petitions which had been laid on the table of that House; one from the attorney ot the convicted. . and the other a counter petition. The Hon. Member then went on to compare these two documents, and ad verted to the mode of getting up the jury list, whi c h he censured as most one-sided and unfair.) The proceedings in the Recorders' Court for the revision of the jury list more resembled a bitter election contest than an equitable and - solemn arrangement prepara tory to. a great and important trial.—(Hear, hear.) There were two Conservative election agents for the Conservative party, who objected to those persons put forward by the repealers, Messrs. Walker and Jackson ; whilst the repealers made their objections to those put forward on the other side. The greatest possible acrimony and bad feeling was exhi- - bited, but the repealers had the greater cause, for they were the accused. The greatest accuracy was desirable in those proceedings, and it should have been secured. Mr. Walker was not refused the opportunity of compar" ing the lists. He was allowed to compare them with Mr. M'Grath. (The Hon. Gentleman then read extracts from the affidavit of Mr. M'Grath, in which the depo nent disclaimed that he was influenced by any improper motive) He (Mr. Wyse) complained that the House of Commons should allow such irregularities, if they de- . served no other name, to pass unnoticed.—(Cheers.) There were good grounds 'for believing that, notwith standing the affidavit of Mr. M'Grath, fifty or sixty names had been omitted. One of the persons whose names were omitted, wrote to the Recorder requesting that his name should be inserted. To that letter he re- • ceived no answer.— (Hear, hear.) (The Hon. Member then read the letter, and contended, from the statements, that it was not fifteen or sixteen names omitted, but be- • , tween fifty and sixty.) Mr. M'Grath admitted in his affidavit that distinctions of qualification had been an nexed to the names of persona in an improper manner. . Surely they would not on the opposite side of the Douse tell him that that was the way in which they them selves would wish to have their juries formed and their trials conducted ?—(Hear, hear.) And if they would not, after the prima facie case he had made out, he did not think they would venture to say that inquiry was uncalled for. For his own part he was by no means satisfied that there had not been ,nore interference .with the lists than that of which they were already cognizant. He was entitled to think there were other ground, for his motion than those even which had been stated, and -' he might very fairly be permitted to demand the oppor tunity and the means for inquiry.'• Leaving out of the question the influence that one-tenth might have had on the whole panel —not heeding what chances_ that circum stance might have had in Mr. O'Connell's favonr—there was the question of still grater importance for the public, and that was to convince them that ht. had had a fair trial.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It would have been infinitely better to have had no trial at all ; for if the people of Ireland were in such a state that they could not afford to treat them with that impar tiality with which they treated Englishmen, better would it have been to have let the evil go on.— (Hear, hear.)

The Orders of the Day were then read, and severally postponed, and Mr. WYSE rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice on this subject. He first presented a large number of petitions from several places in Ire land, praying for inquiry. He had also another petition to which he begged to draw the attention of the House. It was from a number of noblemen and gentlemen deeply interested in the tranquillity and prosperity of Ireland, complaining in strong language of the state of that country—of the discontent that universally prevailed throughout it, arising from the bad administration of the law—of the inferior position in which the nation was kept—of the inadequate representation of the people—of the existence of the Church Establishment, and stating the feeling that universally existed, that Ireland had not her fair share of the legislation of the United Empire.—(Hear.) (The Hon. Member read some of the signatures to the petition, which in chided the names of the Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Kildare, Lord Rossmore, and a large number of Irish noblemen.) In submitting to the consideration of the House the motion of which he had given notice a con siderable time back, he begged to state that he came for ward on no insufficient grounds, and at no improper period, while the subject was one which he believed to every part of the empire was of the greatest importance. He did not come forward without sufficient grounds, for he presented to the House on the 21st of March, a peti tion signed by n o l ess t h an 750,000 of the inhabitants of Ireland, calling for immediate inquiry into the state of Ireland. Added to that petition, he had presented an other, signed by 26,000 persons, reiterating the same prayer. Other petitions had been presented, signed by 49,000 persons, forming in the whole a large aggre gate of the Irish people, all praying for inquiry. To these petitions had been added the one presented by the solicitors retained for the traversers, and that of the Corporation of Dublin, each demanding the same inquiry. In opposition to these petitions, there had only been laid on the - table the one petition of Mr. Magrath, and, after a careful comparison of that petition with that of the traversers, it appeared to him, so far from modifying the statements of their petition, that it had confirmed his opinion of its authenticity. When to these was added the petition just laid on the table of the House, one not coming from men connected with the Re peal Association, but from men, many of whom were directly opposed to repeal —men who, from their pro perty, long acquaintance with Ireland, and high rank, were fair representatives of the aristocratic opinions of that country, and when they all concurred in saying that the country was in a state of division—that discord prevailed in it, and that there were no hopes of relief from that state, except by complying with the demands of justice, he thought he had some claims on the attention of the House. He believed that he did not come forward at an improper period. During the whole time the subject was pending in the law courts in Ireland he had refrained from bringing it forward, and since that time he had been debarred from doing so in consequence of the long period that elapsed between his moving for certain papers and their being laid on the table. The question was still pending before another House, and he should not now have interposed, but that he trusted he should be able to show he was dealing with quite a distinct subject. Let it not be said, there fore, that he came forward on insufficient grounds, or at an improper period. As to the subject itself, surely there was never one which demanded more earnest attention from her Majesty's Government. He had not the advantage of legal knowledge, and least of all could he claim their attention after the eminent men who had discussed and exhausted the subject. But this he would say, that he was an Irish Catholic—the representative of an Irish Catholic constituency-=and he could not but feel, with almost all his countrymen, BLit Mr. O'Connell was an eminent man in the age in which they lived. He could not but feel that to his exertions millions of his fellow -countrymen owed the throwing open the gates of the Constitution, and that he himself had the power of addressing them in that place. He also remembered that Mr. O'Connell, though a Catholic, had no Catholic on his jury. He remembered, as an Irishman, he had been adjudged by a tribunal to a • sentence which they had heard in that House from an English .jury and English judges he would not have been exposed ; and these questions, however clo se ly th ey were now con fined to Ireland, might soon be extended to themselves. The worst evils were those which crept in under the sanction of justice; the worst and most dangerous re sults were those which were consigned to the statute book, by the decision of judicial men. They might not be able, perhaps, openly to assail the Consti tution, but they might undermine it, and this undermin ing was what was most to be apprehended. Give him a people who had free discussion, and who lived under the aegis of equal laws, and he cared not what Ministry or what Legislature they might create—that people would sooner or later vindicate themselves in the eye of the world. He did not mean to discuss the question in con nection with its legal difficulties. He should limit him self to the facts of the case. He asked for no condem nation or censure of the Government. He should not discuss points of law, nor enter into the subject in con nection with the matter before the House of Lords. The object of the Government for many years in Ireland had been to neutralise the ques tion of repeal. It was considered a matter of importance in Ireland either to exorcise the question of repeal from the country. or to crush it, to expel it, either gently or by main force. The opinions on repeal were various—some thought it a magnificent impossi bility —many argued that it would be a good thing if it could be carried. Others, not only considered it could not be carried, but that if carried it would be a danger ous thing for Ireland. Others were opposed to repeal on the grounds that by it Ireland would be divided from her powerful sister and exposed to all the jealousies and discussions of a rival State. Others considered it would be contrary to the fundamental laws of the Censtittition. Each of these parties were necessarily guided by their se veral opinions in their attempt to get rid of this question. If proper means had been adopted for the redress of these grievances, and good measures had been brought forward, the repeal agitation would have totally disap peared. But the other party were placed in the posi tion of those who must either completely crush repeal by violent means, or resort to fraud where they could not use force. To crush repeal by violent means was out of the questibn. A Coercion Bill, if passed into a law, would only adjourn and not extinguish the ques tion of repeal. The Government thought it advisable to trust to the means at their disposal for crushing re peal. During the last session the question of repeal WAS allowed to make progress. They were all familiar With the meetings that t o ok pl ace , an d the freqUent appe a l s made to the Government in that House, on the subject ; and it appeared, from subsequent evidence, that even then the Government were not inattentive to the course of events; There Was the obvious • course open to them of attacking the meeting which Me. O'Connell had announced—the general convention to be held in Dublin for the purpose of devising a plan of renewed action. It was thought that th Govern ment would wait until that assembly had seen convened, and had they done so, there would have been legs ground of complaint, inasmuch as it would obviously have been a direct violation of the Act against con ventions. The session, however, had not long closed when the Government anticipated the meeting to be held in November, by attacking the first meeting, which was to be held near Dublin, namely, the meeting at Clontarf, and not content with that, immediately pro ceeded to engage in the prosecution which now formed the subject of' immediate inquiry. Whether • the Go vernment on that oeoasion were too late or 00 soon—, whether they acted with hesitation or with prudeme— whether it were a wise course to risk at so late a period a collision with an eccited people, o r w h et h er i t would not have been amply sufficient for their purpose to have instituted the prosecution without taking any notice of the meeting, it was not his intention at preseet to discuss. The act was sudden and unforeseen an the part of the Go vernment, though it arose out of expressions which could not reasonably be viewed with' apprehension when they considered the views of him from whom they fell. It did appear strange that this meeting, the last of the whole series of repeal meetings, should be that one which the Government had determined upon putting down. It now appeared that there had been all along a serious: intention on the part of the Government to indict for a (LEFT SPEAKING.) DEATH OF LIEUT. EDWARD ROBERTS.—The ar rival of the Acadia brings the melancholy intelligence of the death of Lieut. Edward Roberts, officer of her Majesty's mails, in the steamer. He was attacked by a fit of apoplexy previous to the arrival of the ship at Halifax, and his recovery was looked upon as so doubtful that Capt. Jud kins was sworn in as mail agent at that place. Shortly after his arrival at Reston he seemed to recover partially, but the dis ease afterwards took a more serious turn, and he died at the Massachusetts General Hospital on the 27th June, aged 69, Lieutenant Roberts had been in the British navy more than half a century, and held a Lieutenant's commission since 1810. He had seen much hard service, and participated in no less than thirty naval engagements. He went out as mail agent in the Britannia on her first trip to the United States, had been in constant service since, and had crossed the At lantic over forty times. He has left a wife in Liverpool, but has no family. His remains were deposited in a vault under Park -street Church, Boston. IYiPEittAL PARLIAMENT. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENT BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Clause 18 was agreed to, after a short discussion. On clause 19 being proposed, Mr. HAWES moved that it be expunged. The Earl of LINCOLN supported the clause. After a short conversation the clause was agreed to. Clauses 20 to 33 inclusive were, after a few verbal amendments, agreed to. Clauses up to 51 were then adopted without discussion, except on verbal points. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress and obtained leave to sit again. The. House then adjourned till half-past five o'clock. The House resumed at Half-past Five. Messengers from the Lords brought down certain Bills. REVENVE COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER pre rented the Report of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, which he moved to be printed. As the evidence contained matter tending to criminate individuals, he thought it would be better that the evidence should not be printed, but it would remain upon the table for Hon. Members to refer to. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE thought that neither the House nor the country would be satisfied without the publica tion of the evidence. How could they tell whether or not the report was well founded unless the evidence were published ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the evidence would remain upon the table, so thnt Hon. Merpbers could refer to it at any time. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked why it could not be printed for the use of Members ? In the case of petitions containing supposed libelous matter it was frequently the case that they were printed for the use of Members only. Wy could not this course be adopted in the pre sent instance ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it would be better to adopt tqe course Which he had pro posed. The evidence would be accessible to every Member of the House, and they would avoid the risk of giving a great deal of private information to parties which they would run if they were to print it. After a few words from Mr. V. SMITH and Sir D. NORREYS, Mr. IT. DUNCOMBE said he should move as an amendment that She evidence be printed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would in that case withdraw his motion, and give notice of it for ' to- morrow. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the debate be ad ourned. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No, nu! I withdraw my motion. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. HEATIICOTE presented a petition from the at tornies of Tiverton against the Poor-law Bill. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT (DUBLIN) BILL. Mr. J. H. HAMILTON moved to nominate the Select Committee on the Grand Jury Presentment (Dublin) Bill :—Lord Eliot, Sir Ralph Howard, Mr. Young, Mr. Bellew, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Archbold, Mr. Grogan, Col. Henry White, Mr. Hamilton, Capt. Taylor, and five to be nominated by the Committee of Selection. GARNKIRK, GLASGOW, AND COATBRIDGE RAILWAY BILL. _ _ _ The Lords' amendments to the above Bill were agreed to. _ _ RIOTS IN DOMINICA, Mr. HAWES said he wished to put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, on the sub ject of the late riots in Dozninica. He had received a letter, which stated that in consequence of some mis understanding on the part of the black population, as to the object of taking the census, a riot had taken place, in which those persons had been treated most disgrace fully. It was stated that 150 men had been arrested and dragged to gaol; that three had been killed and nine wounded; and that one had his head severed from his body and placed on a pole. He believed that mar tial law now existed, and what he wished to ask of the Noble Lord was, whether a dispatch, which was written in 1839, had not continued in force? Lord STANLEY said that on the 3d of last month a disturbance had taken place in the island in consequence of an absurd notion on the part of the blacks that the census of the population about to be taken was for the purpose of taking some steps to restore them to the condition of slaves. He believed that the revolt was principally owing to some refugees from the French and - other colonies. The disturbances continued for four of five days, but they were put down at last, and he had no doubt that martial law would be put an end, and that the persons who were taken would be tried by the ordinary tribunals. The despatch of 1839, to which . the Hon. Gentleman had referred, was appli:able only to Jamaica. THE SLAVE TRADE. Viscount PALMERSTON said that he wished to make a few observations on the slave trade itself, before he entered upon the motion of which he had given notice. It was a subject of great importance not known to that House, and it still continued to engage the atten tion of Parliament and the country. Many of the most enlightened men on both sides of the House and out of the House had exerted their talents to put an end to slavery, and they at length succeeded in rescuing this country from the foul stain of slavery, but that great result was not completed without much labour. They must, therefore, look with tenderness on the errors of other countries who had not yet resolved to follow in their footsteps, remembering the long and painful efforts Which it had cost them to wean themselves from such pursuits.—(Hear.) If there were those who had con tracted relations with them, the object of which was the suppression of the slave trade, they would make themselves participators in the crime if they relieved them from the engagements into which they had entered. The in vestigations which had taken place, with their disgusting details, had brought round the minds of men in this country to determine that England at least should adhere to such treaties. The details were well nigh forgotten, though perhaps all men had a general notion that the slave trade was a cruel thing, that it was barbarous to tear men by violence from their homes, their families, and their country, to transport them across the sea, and to doom them to pass the remainder of their short lives in pain and toil, under the lash of a foreign tyrant ; though these things were known and felt by all, yet he believed there were few also at that time of day had any adequate conception of the cruelties of which the slave trade was the cause. It was difficult to make, with any degree of certainty or cal culation, of the number of persons who were annually taken to the islands and continent of America, for the purpose of being consigned to slavers-. The returns for which he was going to move would, it was true, furnish some information, but that information was received from their own consular agents.—(Hear, hear.) The Govern ments of the countries into which these negroes were imported, published no returns. Although those HOUSE OF LORDS, July 15. BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL. The Earl of STRADBROKE moved the third reading of this Bill. The motion was agreed to. On the motion that the Bill do pass, The Marquis of SALISBURY moved the addition of certain clauses, and in doing so made some rather severe remarks on the conduct of Mr. Mallaby, the solicitor to the promoters of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM thought it was unfair for Noble Lords to make grave accusations against absent persons. The Earl of WICKLOW thought the Bill ought to be sent back to the Committee. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the Bill a most im portant one to the trade and commerce of the country, and was one which ought to pass with the least possible delay. The Earl of HADDINGTON supported the Bill. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it was the duty of their Lordships to pass this Bill. After a few-words from Lord STRADBROHE and Lord BROUGHAM, The Marquis of SALISBURY withdrew his opposi tion, and the Bill passed. BANK CHARTER BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL. Lord MELBOURNE presented several petitions in favour of this Bill. The LORD •CHANCELLOR then rose to move the Commons' amendments to the Bill. He said that, in spite of the opposition of 'certain Noble Lords and a Right Rev. Prelate in that House, this Bill had passed through both Houses of Parliament. Still, however, the opponents of the Bill were not discomfited. The principle of the Bill having been adopted by both Houses, it only re mained for their Lordships to cqnsider certain amend ments, which had been made by the House of Commons. This was all they had now to do ; but he understood that a most unprecedented course was about to be adopted by a Rev. Prelate, which was that the amend ments be considered on that day six months. Such a motion as this would be a slight upon the House of Commons, and he could hardly think that any Noble Lord would persevere in such a course. The amend ments were not of a complicated character, nor did they require any very grave consideration in order to under stand them. Why, therefore, it should be proposed that they should be postponed for siX months, especially after the principle of the Bill had been affirmed by both Houses of Parliament, he could not understand. The motion was a most extraordinary one, and one the object of which could only be to defeat the measure. The Noble Lord then proceeded to explain the nature of the amendments which had been made in the Bill by the House of Commons, and he concluded by earnest l y calling upon their Lordships to give their assent to the amendments which had been made. The Bishop of LONDON admitted that the course he was about to pursue was an unusual one, and one which was only to be adopted in ex treme and urgent cases. This Bill contravened the dictates of common sense, and was contrary to the maxims of reason. There was one chance for the defeat of this measure, and he now intended to avail himself of this last opportunity of opposing this Bill. It might be said that he was pertinacious in his opposition ; but when he found that all the arguments against the fundamental principles of the Bill had been unanswered, he thought that pertinacity became a virtue. He saw that there was a formidable array marshalled against him in that House, but he was fortified by the knowledge that out of doors this Bill was looked upon as a most dangerous one, and one to which the majority of the judges and of the legal profession were decidedly opposed. He recollected no question —not even except ing the Catholic question —upon which the public mind had been so much agitated. He believed, and out of doors it was generally believed, to b e a measure hostile ' to religious truth, and one which would have a most dan gerous tendency. He concluded by moving that the Commons' amendments to this Bill be taken into con sideration on that day six months. The Bishop of DURHAM did not anticipate that the danger which the Right Rev. Prelate so much feared would result from the passing of this Bill. He looked upon the Bill as a measure calculated to do justice to an, and to bring the whole body of the Dissenting popula tion within the protection of. the. law... Under these cir cumstances, he could not fear that. any bad effect would result from the operation' of this Bill. Lord BROUGHAM argued that if these amendments were to be rejected, a conference with the Commons would be appointed ; and if, in that conference, the Commons should consent to withdraw the amendments, the Bill would then pass, and the Right Rev. Prelate would gain nothing by his motion. Everybody admitted that the Bill had been improved by the amendments which had been made, and he, for one, could not see on what pos sible ground, any opposition could be offered to them. He thought this Bill would prove as beneficial to the Trinitarians as the Unitarians, for it might h a p pen that a case w ou ld b e f ound in w hich Trinitarians were holding possession of a Unitarian foundation. He con sidered this to be a Bill of peace, and as such he had al ways supported it. The Bishop of NORWICH had formerly looked upon this Bill as nothing less than a Socinian Endowment Bill, but he had been deceived, for he now discovered that. this was not a theological measure, but merely a mea sure of justice and of equity. Many others had been placed in the same situation, and having discovered their error, had deeply regretted having placed their hands to petitions which had been presented against the Bill. On examination he had found that the majority of the peti ti, ns upon this subject were in favour of the Bill, and that those petitions which were in favour of the measure were signed by very few persons. The question was not (me of religion or doctrine, but a question of equity and justice, and it was not for man to separate those princi ples which God had joined together. On these conside rations he should give his unqualified support to the Bill, for in doing this he was only acting on that prin ciple which taught them to do unto others as we would they should do unto us.—(Cheers.) The Earl of RODEN looked upon this Bill as a Bill of injustice, because it gave a property to persons who had no right to it. He defended the course which had , been adopted t o re j ect t hi s Bill, and contended that many precedents could be found for it. Lord COTTENHAM contended that this measure was strictly Conservative in its principle, for it was intended to confirm the possession of property to persons who had held it for a great number of years. He con sidered the amendments were a great improvement to the Bill, and he apprehended that that question was the only one which they had to consider. Lord BROUGHAM explained, conspiracy —that they had watched every co.) urren ce , and by conni vance an d apparent trano i rtillity, gave con.. fidence to those who were carrying an what was called a conspiracy, to produce still graver acts, for which they might be afterwards palled up for punishment.—(Hear, hear.) But, he believed there was something deeper still than what he had me n ti one d. His impression was that there was 11, much more alarming conspiracy existing in the minds of the Government, who thought, or affected to think, that it was tint merely a combina tion for the purpose of discu;sing• repeal, but that there was a conspiracy actually going 'on between certain members of 'the Repeal Association and the Govern‘ ment of America. A person had been put in conitnunioa tion with America —one who was to give information to the Government that treasonable orrespondence had been carried on between Mr. Steele, on the one hand, and the son of President Tyler, on the other. That impression had been imprinted on the minds of the people by the language which the Attorney-General used at the commencement of the trials, The bill of indictment had been seemly placed before the Court when the Attorney-General announced that there would be a second bill of indictment, and in doing so used language which was well deserving of the attention of the House. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman stated, on the Bth of November, when the find bill Vas presented to the grand Jury, that lie " would undertake to establish as wicked and vile a conspiracy as ever disgraced this country." He (Mr. Wyse) did nQt know whether that language was applicable to the first or to the second bill. With regard to the mode iii which that trial was conducted he had a right to record his opinion or the impression - made on hia mind by it, and tut the minds of the great holly of the people of Ireland , . • ThrQugb a ll the proefdings of that trial, awetpl.ng aside the techni ciOles of the law altot e tk eri there waq ai Qvitrwhelm-
