SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. GLOBE.—,Whatever may be the effect of. thepending _debate upon the majority of the Houk of Commons— though the Government .may affect to triumph on the division—the facts adduced, and the arguments employed by the speakers from the Opposition benches will not be lost ?Ton the country. At every step in their Irish policy the Ministers have, been lowered in the estimation of the people of - England-rwhile in Ireland dislike has heightened into. hatred. No former Ministry ever ap peared in so humiliating a position—so positively con victed of incapacity for dealing with an acknowledged " difficulty," as. does that of Sir Robert Peel. A case has been made out against them by the mal-administra tion of their power in Ireland, which has drawn down upon than: the apprehensions of many and the wither ing scorn - of more, in this country ; while it has obtained for the repeal of the Legislative Union, and for:those against whoin the Government has obtained a. conviction for the proceedings they have been en gaged in to attain it-4 .sympathy more general and cordial than O'Connell could have • secured by his best-devised projects, or his ceadjuters• by their 'most strenuous exertions. Had Sir Robert Peel not. lent his - powers to give impulse to .the movement, it would have expired ,of inanition. The Right lion. Baronet no sooner appeared in the field, as the head of a Clovernment, than, new life was infused into the expiring scheme ; and i•very step he took in the path of discouragement by threats and coereien, only stimu lated the Ropealera to renewed exertions; until the larger portion of the country became united in one vast confederacy—not so much for Repeal, as' of oppo sition to the policy of his administration: This feeling, the emanation of long-eherished; because greatly, provoked' dislike, has " grown with the growth, and strengthened with the strength," of the Irish people. It would have been diminished by con ciliation, but can never be destroyed by coer cion. Sir Robert Peel refused the - counsel which advised and urged the employment-of a milder treat ment. He allowed his 'better nature, and his more prudent and far-seeing . policy, to be 'counteracted by the Lyndhurst-and-Stanley portion of his Cabinet: Military occupation was substituted for, constitutional government. Bayonets bristled in almost every village. Every building capable of being fortified was placed in . a state of military defence; The rivers which inter sected and divided the provinces became the stations or ships of war. The whole country; in faet, wore the aspect of a recent conquest, in which revolt would follow the slightest relaxation of restriction, or indication of confidence In the people. state prosecutions were instituted ; these were conducted in the spirit and with the violations of. constitutional forms and stretches 'of the prerogative, mere in unison with the seventeenth than the nineteenth century. The convictions thus ob tained have weakened, instead of strengthening, the hands of Government ; for public opinion has been thereby enlisted with the convicted parties. O'Connell has regained a popularity which in this coun t r y was cer t a i n ly fast waning; while m Ireland it was rather dependent on the course which the' Government would take, than on any approval of Repeal by the more respectable portion of the Catholic . population of that country. If there be any one man in the United Kingdom to whom 'Mr. O'Connell has more reason to be grateful than another, it is to that Cabinet Minister—be he who he may—who goaded the reluctant Premier into a consent to adopt coercion as the policy of his Irish administration, un accompanied by any of those remedial and conciliatory measures by : which alone the nation could have been reconciled to its adoption. _ _ STANDARD.—Every one in this country is weary of the lumbering debate that has now for five- nights occupied the House of Commons, and that for all that appears may occupy it for five nights more, for there is plainly no conceivable necessary termination to the delivery of speeches by men vibe are not ashamed to produce in cold blood, and to reproduce, and to pro duce again fallacies one thousand' times refuted—truth is in both senses the end of all, legitimate discussion ; but when teen deliberately leave truth on one side, it is obvious, that in any sense discussion need not have any end—a dreary prospect for us, and for all like es, com pelled to read Parliamentary debates. We are not ,by any means disposed to provoke once more the question which we hear at every Corner—" Is there to'be no end to these Irish debates?'--but in order that the people may see all the mischief, we would remind them that these de bates which are simply a nuisance in England, are a deadly pestilence to the unhappy country which is 'the subject of them, jest es the monotonous clatter of the copper smith, which merely annoys a healthy neighbour on one side, will kill the patient on the other if he is recovering from a fever, by depriving him of the rest upon which his only hope of life depends. It is, in fact, impossible to. overrate the evil of the present transfer of " the Con ciliation Hall" to Westminster, or the guilt of those by whom it has been made. It is, indeed, to underrate the evil, to speak of it merely as a mere transfer of the' " Conciliation Hall," for incendiary speeches deli vered in the Houses of Parliament are ten-fold more pernicious.. than the same speeches would be delivered in Dublin, because the Irish peasant receives such speeches (and they are all carried to him) as the admissions of those whom he has been taught to con sider as adversaries, or as at least the testimonies of im- Oartial witnesses. If there is in th e p rocee di ngs o f t h e pposition any one circumstance more disgusting than another, it is the new character with which, for their purpose, they invest the Roman Catholic population of Ireland—a character of universal treason—a character not only different from, but exactly opposite to, that in which they represented the same party twenty or thirty years ago. We entreat those who can remember—as unfortunately we can— tles spe,eches of the Whigs twenty or thirty years ago, to recollect with what zeal, with what fury, -the disloyalty of Roman Cath o li cs was re pelled as an impossible hypothesis in those speeches. Few, now at an age of maturity, can forget that up to 1829 the Irish Roman Catholics were described by the Whigs ae not merely universally loyal, but as being the only truly loyal part of the Irish . population. All will remember that •an attempt to revive the falsehood was made in 1835, when the Orange Committee was' ap pointed ; and again on the occasion of • her Majesty's accession to the Crown, when Mr. O'Connell 'spoiled the enterprise by . his fulsome professions, accompanied by his seditious practice. How happens it, then, that the Roman Catholics— so zealously loyal under privations, which, however light, were represented to them as intolerably' burthen some—have become universally the separatists and trai tors that their Whig-Radical friends now describe them, within a few years of the removal of every vestige of ' privation ? This- would be indeed, as Mr. Grattan said, " not merely unfounded, but monstrous." The answer is, that it is not true that the great body o f th e ' 'roman datholics are unquestionably now more loyal, now more averse from separation than they were thirty years ago. We can add the testimony of our own cor respondents to what is stated in the article which we have borrowed from the Morning Herald, as to the effect of the verdiete against Mr.' O'Connell—that verdict, we are assured, has been received, not with indifference, but with satisfaction by nineteen-twentieths of the educated and intelligent Roman Catholics, and even by the most ignorant of the peasantry it has been received as a matter in which they have little or na concern. Should evil result from it, that evil will be the effect of the use which the Whigs have sordidly- and corruptly made of the' topic in Par• liament ; sot of anything that has- passed or is passing in Ireland. It is quite as true now as it was when Lord Plunket said it, in the passage quoted, that " the separatists are neither numerous nor formi dable," though they -may ewer so to superficial ob servers, for a reason' given by the same Noble 'and Learned Lord in the same speech:--e" It is . most unfair to visit ,on [ascribed to] the Roman Catholics the opinions and conduct of such public assemblies as pro fess to act for them. In all such places, we know that unboundsd applause attends the- man who oc cupies the extreme positions of opinion ; and that the extravagance - of his .expression of such opinion will not be . calculated to diminish it. /slow, what Lord. Plunket said to defend the Roman Catholics against one set of accusers, it may be allowed to us to say for their protection against a much more foul and malignant charge than was ever before pre ferred against them. We say that they are not traitors, and that the calmness and even complacency with which they see the fall Of Mr. O'Connell, proves that that per son never possessed a tithe of the moral power ascribed to him, and that he is no faithful expositor of Roman Catholic feeling.

The existence of the Established Church in Ireland tended to strengthen the cause of the Roman Catholic religion, and to make it take deep root - in the hearts of the people. Nothing but the establishment of religious equality could produce tranquillity in Ireland. If the payment of the Catholic priesthood should bo proposed as part of a great plan for tranquillising Ireland—if it were conjoined with a measure for the extension of the franchise, both municipal and Parliamentary, then he would be prepared to sacrifice his preConceived opinions, and to support such a measure ; but if it were proposed as a measure by itself, and separated from any proposition for ameliorating the condition of the Irish people, he should give it all the opposition in his power. --(Hear.) He should prefer seeing the voluntary system established in Ireland. He should wish to see the whole of- the Irish Church vested in the hands of Commis sioners, and devoted to the providing of moral and re ligious instruction for the whole community.—(Hear.) That principle might not find favour in this House, but it had grown up with the growth of the country. It had gradually made its way among the nation, and if they wished that the State should receive effective and pure religion; the hest way of acccomplishing that was by leaVing religion alone. The history of Dissent in this country - fully proved that the voluntary princi ple, if properly . worked; would be fully sufficient 'to im part religious instruction. The Hon. Gentleman went on to show how Dissent was established in this country, and said that the State was a pernicious ally of any reli gion. Many eminent men had held this opinion, that the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism was, that the one sought the aid of the State to uphold it, while the ether relied on its own independent priest hood. As he said before, he would support the payment of the. Catholic clergy in Ireland as a part and parcel of a- general plan for the tranquillisation of that country, but he still should maintain that it would be , desirable, and he should desire a reversion to the voluntary prin ciple. It was a mistake to think that the prosecution against Mr. O'Conn,ll would deprive him of the sym pathy of the people of Ireland. It was an unjust and un worthy course to adopt, and was inadequate to attain its i-nd, for it would only add to Mr. O'Connell's strength in Ireland, and multiply The number of h is friends. 'He did ilot - COnsider him to bare hada fair. trial:—:(Cheers.) Under such circumstances the verdict which had been obtained would have no moral effect. It had been said that the_ Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Ilome Department made out a good case with regard to the striking of the jury, but he (Mr. Hawes) took a higher objection, and he - did not see why men should be pronounced unfit to deliver a fair verdict, because they spoke out their political opinions ,on the subject of the repeal of the union. —(Hear, hear.) Would they, apply such a doctrine in this country? If at the time of the Reform Bill a, Reformer had committed an offence, would it be alleged that there could not be a fair and just trial if those who were in favour of Re form were on his jury, or that they could not give a verdict according to the evidence ? He had no faith that the present Cabinet would do justice to Ireland. What confidence could be placed in men who sat together, in the same cabinet, and who changed their opinions and politics ? The Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for ,the Home Department said, that as an abstract principle, he had no objection to the pay ment of the Roman Catholic clergy. That was a ques tion 'which lad been before discussed in that Houle, 4nd on that occasion the Right Hon. Gentleman, the First lird of the Treasury, said that the payment of the Catholic clergy was contrary to the principles of the Reformation, and they might •as well get rid of the Thirty •nine Articles. That would be an answer to the Right Hon.--Gentleman by a member of the same Cabinet. But_take the case of education : there. was no stienge; opponent of the Board of Privy Council than the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Ihme Department. He was now going to increase the grant to MaynoOth, but who had used stronger language on the subject than a ,Noble Duke in the other House ? The Duke of Wellington declared that it was opposed to' Christianity, and that it ought not to be permitted to continue. What faith could he place in the declamations of the Right Hon. Gen • tleman opposite, when he found opinions so strong ex pressed by another member of the Cabinet? Promiees had been made before under somewhat similar circum stances.--(Hear, hear.) He would venture to call the• attention of the House to the promises given by Mr. , Pitt, and he was not aware that this portion of Mr. Pitt's declaration had yet been brought under the attention of the House. In April 1800, on the proposal of the union, Mr. Pitt said that if they wished to accomplish ,the great work they had undertaken, they must look at this important subject in a large and comprehensive point of view ; they must consider it as a measure of great national policy—the object of which was to prevent a separation between two countries whose connexion was as necessary for the safety of one as for the prosperity of the other ; they must regard it , as a measure the object of which was to give the sister kingdom full participation in the -com merce and Constitution of this country—to unite the affections and resources of two powerful nations, and to place under one direction the whole force of the empire. Now he asked Hon. Gentlemen opposite whether, in point of fact, the union had dissipated jealousy between the two countries? He would ask the Right Honourable Baronet whether he was not prevented from carrying into effect the union ? Her Majesty's Ministers might be inclined to act, perhaps, in a spirit of impar 7 tiality ; but there were gentlemen on that side of the House who were wedded to their own notions; who were determined to abide by their,own prejudices ; who had learnt nothing and forgotten nothing .in the ten years during which they had been out of office, and who were resolVed to constrain the Right Honourable Gentleman (sir R. Peel), not only to rofuse all that was fair and reasonable, but all which was necessary for the interest and integrity of the two countries. There was one man who, at the time when the union was pro posed, protested against it in terms most emphatic, not to say most prophetic ; and his words might well instruct that party whieh. made Ireland the nursery of sedition. It was too clear, from the examples he had given, and froth the authorities he had referred 'to, that from the first there hid been but a nominal union between the two nations. The party which had chiefly governed this country for the last forty years had kept its position by creating divisions in the empire ; and it was deter Mined to try for the continu ance of its power by the same means which, in the long Must be alike ruinous to the .governor and the governed. All the nobler„objects of government, all the hopes and aspirations to render a population more happy, more moral, and more 'pro;perous, must be post poned—and all for the fancied good and safety of the Church. All the old evils of Ireland were to find fresh-_ nourishment, to receive permanency and strength, be cause of this Church.—(llear, hear.) The time had arrived when religious liberty was struggling with religious intolerance, justice with injustice ; and though the contest might be a severe one, he had no fear for the result. It was sai'd, and with perfect truth, that the eyes of all Europe were fixed upon Ire land at the present moment. No msn who glanced over the foreign newspapers could do so without observing how all minds Seemed to .be turned upon that country. It was but natural to expect that the jea lousies of foreign nations, in regard to this country would be excited into livelier action when they saw the weakness created by our own misgovernment of Ire land. And sad ought to be our own reflections, that should the time of struggle ever come with them, were we to be doomed to fall, it would not be from the vigour and power of our foes, but from that innate weakness we brought upon ourselves in this petty paltry struggle to maintain the Irish Church.--(Hear, hear,) Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON said, that Hon. Gen tlemen oppoSitemust - be sadly at - a loss for arguments • against the GOvernment,) when they were. obliged to speak as the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down did, of the elevation of two Right Rev. Prelates .to, the Bench. The Hon. Gentleman also seemed to say, that being a repealer was sufficient to disqualify a person from serving on a jury; but, if the _Hon. Gen tleman had read the papers, he would see that that excuse was made by persons who wished not to serve on juries, but that the Judges had set the matter right. The object of the prosecutions was not to put • down the agitation for repeal, but to repress the manner in which it was agitated. There had been' much misre presentation about the omission of twenty-four names from the jury list.—(Hear, hear.) It had been said that upwards of sixty names were omitted, when,. in truth, only twenty-four were, by accident, - and, that acci dent was attributable to. a Roman Catholic officer. Great stress had 6een laid upon this point of the txclu sion of Roman Catholics, but he would give them an ex _planation'of the principal cause why.the Catholics were not more prominent. The , more respectable and upper classes of that persuasion were so disgusted at the agita tors preaching vengeance against the Saxon, instead of, peace and good will to all wen, that they were glad to re tire into private life. And no one could wonder at this, after the accusations which had been made, even in this House, against the t we lv e honest men, and the calum nies which had been heaped upon them by the Hon. and Learned Sergeant the Member. for Cork, who called them a good Protestant jury, ready to convict, and ready to immolate their foe— Mr. Sergeant MURPHY—No, no; I never used the word "immolate." ficr4CT.ATEIYE HAMILTON—The Honourable and Learned Gentleman at all events stated that there was no justice to be expected from this jury. —(Hear, hear.) During this debate he had heard much of the readiness with which the Irish nation would receive a foreign foe, but he would tell Honourable Gentlemen foreign foes were not so ready to take advantage of this nation. He then alluded to the vituperative, abuse which Mr. O'Connell was in the habit of heaping on Louis Phi lippe, and to the talk of raising an Irish brigade.; and then denied that the Government in Ireland Was wholly one of force and not one of opi nion. It would be impossible with such a military force to hold 8,000,0000 of inhabitants in such sub jection. He, therefore, thought it was a most calum nious and unwarrantable insult, to charge the whole nation with being disaffected to the Queen, and desirous of throwing off her authority, and dismembering the empire. Ii had been said that order and peace had prevailed in. Ireland ; there was no doubt that this was owing to the preaching of the liouourable anti Learned gegkber for Cork. But he preached peace, and at the same time levied an army—he preached loyalty, and at the same time attempted to alienate her Majesty's army from her. If the Government had not interfered, the loyal inhabi tants of Ireland would have armed themselves in self defence, and opposed force to force. One side of the. House attempted to monopolise all feeling and sympathy for Ireland, as if Hon. Me gibers on this (the Ministerial) side of the House were utterly callous to the grievances and wishes of Ireland, but he could tell Hon. Gentlemen opposite, that there was an earnest desire among Members of the Conservative party to redress the real grievances of that country, and to improve her condition.. It was said that the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Cork exercised an all-powerful influence over the people of Ireland •, and the same was said of the Roman Catholic priesthood • if so, they were criminable for all those disgraceful Offences were the result of agitation and excitement. But the fact was, neither the Honourable Gentleman nor the Catholic priesthood were able to control the feelings of the people. The priests had, in the first instance, raised their voices against Father Mathew, but the principles of tempe rance triumphed, despite the influence of the priesthood. Ireland should not be considered as one uniform coun try, to which the same remedies were applicable, Ile came from Ulster, and there was not a more peace ful, quiet province in Ireland. They had few soldiers there. Property was safe ; there were no out rages : And yet they had no peculiar advan tages. They had a third Church to support there, and the majority of the inhabitants of the province were Roman Catholics ; but the inhabitants of that province were, generally speaking, what was denominated " bloody" Tories, and all those who bad influence did everything in their power to improve the condition of the people, to educate them, and instead of endeavour ing to set man against man, they endeavouredto unite all classes of society in harmony.—(Cheers.)-- Let them compare the state of Ulster with that of Tipperary. The state of Tipperary made every Irish man blush. Had not the societies established from time 'to time by the Liberals been changed almost every year on account of their trenching upon the law of the land? They had had, societies for every object and of every character, but there had not been one of' them that had been of a strictly legal character. Was it then to be wondered at that the unfortunate people of Ireland had to a great extent forgotten obedience to the law? They talked of British capital being driven away. Of course, it was driven away. Capitalists would not go where life was in danger even in broad daylight. Capital never would go there till life was safe, and life would not be safe so long as agitation was permitted. When English Members complained of the suppression of meetings in Ireland, they must remember what were the means used to bring about those assemblages—the natural excitability of the Irish people, and the circumstance of their being attracted by the transcendent eloquence of their leader.—(Hear.) At some . of the meetings in Ireland there were fifteen bands of music and numerous banners, things which never were to be seen at a meeting in England. There was no similarity between political agitation in England and in Ireland, and as little similarity between the feel ings and passions of the two people. Had not the Honourable and Learned Member for Cork called the proclamation of her Majesty a forgery, and stated that it never had emanated from her ? Of all the silly accusations which had been brought against, the Government by lion. Gentlemen opposite, none was more foolish than that the proclamation was delayed for the purpose of bringing the people into collision with the military. He felt no doubt that the object of the Noble Lord's motion was to attach the stigma of a want ofconfidence bythe House in her Majesty's Ministers. Judging from appearances—from the manner in which the . Hon. and Learned Gentleman had been received by Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and from the fact of his hav ing sent over two counsel to advise with the Noble Lord —he should be inclined to believe that the Lichfield House compact hid : been renewed. He deprecated the attacks which had been made upon the present Govern ment of Ireland, and considered that the animadversions of the Right Hon. Gentleman, last evening, on the com position of the jury, on the verdict, and on the charge of the judge, were calculated to produce anarchy in Ire land. He . was glad, to hear that a larger sum was, to be devoted to the purposes of national education ; but he trusted that the present system would be modified in such a manner as to secure to those who were educated under it a free access to the Scriptures. He should be, gle.d , to see some measure passed. to legalise the pay-. meat of dues to the Catholic priests, and to fix their amount ; and should the dims not be sufficient for the priest's maintenance, he should not object to a State allowance. He thought it was a great mistake to grant only 8,000/. a year to Maynooth; the grant should be in creased so as to hold out an inducement to persons of the superior classes to study for the priesthood. He should also wish to see the Roman Catholic College removed from*Maynooth to some part of England, in which the. Catholic entry and yeomanry of the neighbourhood would be inclined to treat the students with that courtesy which they did not meet with at present The O'CONOR DON protested against Hon. Gen tlemen on the other side claiming for themselves a mo nopoly of loyalty.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever might be the result of this debate, the declaration of the Noble Lord with regard to the kind feelings of her Majesty to wards her Irish subjects would be gratefully remembered in that country—(Loud cheers)—and justly appreciated. —(Cheers.) There was not a more loyal body in exist ence than. the Rotnan Catholic population of Ireland— (Cheers)—and this was no conditional loyalty--it did not depend.en considerations of time or circumstance— Upon ,V4hik„or Tory being in power. It was sincere and genuine attachment to the SoVereign.—(Loud cheers.) He objected - to the system which had been pursued to wards Ireland by the present Government. It was true that many circumstances, of which complaints had been made, had been explained during the course of the de bate, but those circumstances had created an impression which no after•explanation could eradicate, and it was the duty of the Government so to act as not to place itself under the necessity for explanation. He did not think the explanations which had been offered to account for the delay in the issuing the proclamation prohibiting the meeting at Clontarf were satisfactory. Np attempt had been made to interfere with the Donnybrook meeting, which had been held under pre cisely similar circumstances. The people had behaved most peaceably; and when it had been hinted that the going to Clontarf in a certain direction might hurt the feelings of the Protestants, who would meet them on the road to church, they had stated their determination to avoid going to the, meeting by that road. There had been no breach of the peace at the other meetings, and there was no pretence for saying that there was any reason to apprehend a breach of the peace at Clontarf. They had had no intimation that the meetings were illegal. The. Duke of Wellington had stated, in the House of Lords,. that , he did not know whether these meeting,s were legal, and the late Lord Chancellor of England, one of the greatest lawyers of the day, had, in the same debate, stated that although the meetings were large, yet if the parties sought for constitutional objects only by legal and peaceful means, there was no ground for considering them illegal.—(Hear, hear.) • Now considering that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland had told the people of Ireland that they were to read the debates in Parlia ment, , and be. guided by them in their conduct, he thought that opinion was a sufficient justification of their conduct. It was cruel of the Government, if they thought those,meetings illegal, not to have stated so at once, in steadof entrappingmen of peaceful habits into this vortex of agitation.—(Cheers.) lie did not think the explanation with respect to the omission of names from the jury panel at all satisfactory. He acquitted the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Shaw) of all knowledge of the omission. He knew it would be foreign to his na ture to do anything so unfair, but he could not but re eo'lect that Mr. Justice Perrin had said that the omis sion was not free from suspicion. Mr. SHAW—The facts bad not then been stated. The O'CONOR DON believed that the case had been fully argued by counsel before Judge Perrin had stated, in giving judgment, that there had been gross neglect somewhere, and that the case was not free from suspicion. With respect to the striking off the names of the Roman Catholics, which had been justified by the Hon. and Gallant Member for Armagh, he would ask that Hon. Member whether, if, in 1829, the Govern ment had thought proper to institute a prosecution against persons connected with the Orange Associa tions, who met in large numbers to petition for the re peal of the Emancipation Act, he would have thought it fair in the Government to strike the name of every Protestant from-- the jury, and to try them by a jury composed_ exclusively of Roman Catholics ?—whe ther he wouldhave thought it right for the Solicitor- General to state that he did not believe the Protestants were worthy to be believed on their oaths, and that therefore they must be struck off the panel? .The Right Hon. Gentleman said peace had been established by the verdict. If he meant by that there had been no breach of the law, it should he recollected that there was no breach of the law before the prosecutions commenced. — (Cheers.) But the national .mind had never been more disturbed than it was at the present moment ; and he much feared that serious consequences might arise from the people being deprived of the opportunity of express gig their opinions. —(Hear hear.) Government might prevent an outbreak, but it could not enforce upon the people the performance of those social duties, the omission of which would produce immense evil. He firmly believed that no man abhorred the commis sion of crime more than Mr. O'Connell. He, in com mon with other Roman Catholics, felt a -deep debt of gratitude to him, for to him were they mainly in _debted for giving them a _share in the Constitution.— (Hear, hear.) He thought they should feel indebted to , the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for the discussion on the present motion. It was not very long ago that the Noble Lord, the Member for London, spoke of finality; it was only e. few months ago that the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite said there was an end of concession; but yet, on the present occasion, they were rivalling ono another in professions' of anxiety to serve Ireland.— (Hear, hear.) He agreed with the Noble Lord in think ing that one of the first objects which it was imperative on the Government to effect was, to render the admi nistration of justice pure in Ireland. Confidence in the laws should be restored ; respect for the laws could only exist in sympathetic confidence between the governors and the governed. Within three months after the ar rival of Lord De. Grey in Ireland, the number of memo rials from the three Roman Catholic provinces to the Exe cutive .had diminished by half, whilst that of Protestant Ulster was increased three-fourths.—(Hear, hear.) Ile objected to the appointment of new stipendiary magis trates at present, but he objected to it because he knew that men would be appointed in whom the people had no confidence. Last night, the Solicitor-Ge neral challenged the Opposition to show a single instance in which a. Catholic had not been appointed to a Government situation when be was equally eligible as a Protestant. He would instance one. In the county which he (the O'Conor Don) represented, a situation in the gift of the Crown had become h e vacant y the death of a Mr. Cummins. Himself and her colleague a ex erted themselves very much to procure-the Bitution for DIVIDENDS. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street. R. Collier, draper, Hythe, Kent, 'Much 19, at one—R.

The greatest little man in the world—General Thomas Thumh, jun., from. the United States—made his dead at th;s theatre last evening.. This bijou of a General is only 25 inches high in his boots, and weighs only 1.5 pounds. Ile is 12 years of age, and has, not increased in size or in weight since he was seven months old. He 'is perfectly well formed, is remarkably strong and muscular for his size, and is very active. The General is really a very wonderful little fellow,. and his performances are' very astonish ing. After giving the audience an account of him self and his adventures, the General mounted a cocked hat, and gave a capital imitation of Napoleon. His taking snuff was admirable. Then he appeared in a round tarpauling hat, and danced the sailor's horn pipe in very gallant style.

His Cupid with 'the 'tablets, and Cupid shooting, were elegant and graceful in the extreme, his diminutive size adding to the vraisemblance of the representation. His Sampson carrying off the gates of Gaza, was a most extraordinary representation. The attitude was perfect, and the spectator for the moment lost the idea of the diminutive size of the representative of the strong man so perfect, was the representation. Ilis concluding poses were the five positions of Hercules in his coMbat with the Nemean lion. These poxes were gracefully and most accu rately given. He was called for at the conclusion of the performance, and received with loud applause. The theatre was exceedingly well attended.. • . . STREET-CLEANSING ENGINE.—An engine for sweeping the streets has been tried for some days in Cheap side and Fleet-street, and the result appears to be quite satis factory. An extract from the prospectus; published by the patentee, will,.explain. its properties and its merits; and, as far as this goes, those who saw its performance yesterday must admit the . truth of what is asserted The engine is simply and effectively. constructed ; is enclosed in a case open only . at the bottom part, of it, to enable the brushes to come in contact with the street or road, se that neither dust nor dirt can escape .from it The mud or dirt is discharged into a receiving truck travelling in front of the engine; the truck when filled is easily detached and drawn away to the laystall or shute ; another empty truck is instantly attached to the engine, which pioceeds on its .work without the delay of taking. it from the street with the receiver when it requires to be emptied : thus the engine remains constantly at its work. This is a distinguished and most important feature of this engine."

POST-OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS. Mr. HOME said that amongst the papers . delivered by the officers of the House that morning, was the copy of a convention made by the Post-office of this country. He wished to ask if there was any chance of such a con vention being arranged with the United States, a country with which it was most desirable that there should be every facility of communication. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the Post-office authorities of this country were ,in communication with those of the United States upon the subject. IRELAND—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. HAWES, alluding to a remark made by the Soli eitor_General, that this was a party motion, and would be a party vote, said,—Such motives should not be attributed to them, inasmuch as the Govern ment proposed nothing for their consideration 'calculated to meet the emergency of the mement, or to restore tranquillity, or allay apprehension for the future, with regard to Ireland. It had been stated by the Right Hon. 'Baronet, the Secretary of State for the , Home 'Department, that conciliation had reached its utmost limits. That principle was confirmed by the Right Honourable Gentleman who spoke last night. They had distinctly declared that they were determined to maintain the Church in Ireland, in the face of all hi.tory and experience, which proved it to be a source of discord to that country. For this purpose all the material i p n l e t e r e and s ts o f single Ireland ingle objectvse' r e to be of postponed maintaining to the the Prositeinstant Church inviolate. It was said by a wise man of old, that Ireland was one of the richest countries in Europe—one which they might make a source of strength and revenue. But by the policy they pursued towards it, they turned it into a source of weakness and impoverishment. Instead of adding to their strength by connexion with that country, their own divisions made them actually weaker in consequence of that union, than if they were in a state of perfect separation. The Right Hon. Baronet the Secretdry of State had stated that great meetings were held in Ireland in 1840. It was true " coming events cast their shadows before"—it was then perceived that the Tories would succeed to power, and these meetings showed the great apprehension of the Irish people of the succession to power of the Hon. Gentlemen opposite. If, as the Honourable Member for Shrewsbury said, it was necessary to have a strong central Government for that country, they had it now in the army. Without that suppression of public opinion there would be such a decla ration on the part of the people of Ireland as would be sufficient to drive them from power. When the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury pointed to the times of Strafford and Charles as those of peace and good government, he was astonished to hear those opinions so favourably received. The declaration made by a Right Hon. Gentleman oppo site, that the Church was to be maintained in its present state, was, in point of fact, nothing more than a declara tion that Ireland must henceforth be governed by force. The ' present state of Ireland reminded him (Mr. Hawes) of a very eventful period in our history, that of r 776 when the first news arrive d in thi s country of the American declaration of independence. At that time the Government seemed to be determined, as their difficulties increased, to make more stringent their coer cive measures with respect to the colonies. The House would remember that in 1817 the Right Hon. Baronet made a most powerful speech against Catholic Emanci pation, and yet twelve years afterwards the same Right Hon. Baronet proposed the Catholic Emancipation Bill. It was the same with respect to the Test and Corporation Act, for two years before that measure was proposed the Right Hon. Baronet spoke most powerfully against it. It had several times been said during this debate that the Catholics at the time of emancipation gave a pledge that the Protestant Church should not be again made the subject of agitation. He (Mr. Hawes), in the presence of the Right lion. Baronet, begged to deny thin. Mr. O'Connell at the time of emancipation said that if that Act were carried out faithfully and with spirit, it would lead to religious equality; and therefore it would be the means of abolishing religious differences. Had this been the case, Of course there would have been no far ther agitation on the subject of the, Protestant Church. He appealed to the House, whether the spirit of the Catholic Emancipation Act had been followed out. — (Hear, hear.) The authorities had acted in a spirit op posed to that Act.—(Loud cheers.) Appointments the most offensive had been made. Two partisan judges had been raised to the bench. — (Cheers.) All their measures were opposed to the Emancipation Bill, and judging from the appointments which they had made, he felt convinced that the present Government was adopting the old course of governing Ireland by maintaining the Protestant ascendancy. He was con vinced that until perfect religions equality shOuld beesta blished in Ireland there would be no hope Vf establishing - " Mr. Fitzgibbon the Crown sessional proseee , was a Roman datbolic, bat a gentleman who h s a s e e. , i , interfered in polities and who was most s acc . c l o u f eminent in his profession.

Now, regarding the oath taken L'X t (k) 4 Catholics, the Noble Lord who had alluded toys o je Stanley) had done so in a very ungenerous e . l ( r e of th., manner. When that Noble Lord was on thi s si e s tr r lc i House and Captain Gordon attacked Wat t b i e Members, much in the same strain that the i‘e 0 5 11 0 had done, the Noble Lord reproved the f ito ot officer; but it appeared that the consciences ° the 10' Catholic Members were to be measured V ote P e meter of the Noble Lord's political feeling & Chlr i : l 4 Gentleman then quoted from a speech of Sll.Dgereen, Wetherell, in which that Hon. and tha t O' Gentleman had expressed an opinion O de s man Catholics were entitled to a vote 0 - 11 P Li p propriatiA of Church property, as well a s °t :d, c` , Ai•• Members, and all the casuists in Oxford, he said, not prove the contrary.
