The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'Clock. POOR-LAW RETURNS. A clerk from the office of the Poor-law Commissioners pre. rented certain returns. COMMITTEE ON STANDING ORDERS. Mr. ESTCOURT moved the appointment of the Select Committee on Standing Orders :—Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Wilson Patten, Mr. Pendarves, Mr. William Miles, Mr. Cumming Bruce, Sir Robert Ferguson, Mr. Ord, and the Chairmen of the Committee and of the Sub-Committees on Petitions for Private Bills.—Agreed to. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE. Mr. W. WILLIAMS presented:a petition from Bridgewater, praying the House not to consent to any increase in the mill. Lary establishment until the people should be fully represented. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Birming ham with a similar prayer. LI ERPOOL GAS BILL. Leave was given to introduce the Liverpool Gas Bill. STOPPING THE SUPPLIES. Dr. 130 WRING presented a petition, signed by 2,300 of the inhabitants of Bolton, complaining of the state of the re presentation, and praying that the supplies might not ba voted till the grievances of the people wero redressed. Mr. STANSFIELD presented a petition with a similar prayer. Lord MARSHAM presented petitions from places in Kent, praying that publicans might be placed on the same footing with shopkeepers with regard to the window duty. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Mr. Cadogan Williams, complaining that Railroad Companies acted upon a system which deprived the working classes of those benefits which railroads ought to confer upon the public generally, and that the proprietors acted exclusively for their own benefit without reference to the public. The petitioner expressed his opinion that the poorer classes were stowed away in third class carriages, with straw, canvass, and leather which were thought of equal value.—(Laughter.) PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE, Sir J. THOLLOPE presented a petition from Spalding, and several petitions from other places in Lincolnshire, praying for a continuance of agricultural protection. - THE ARMY. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from Liverpool, praying that no supplies should be granted until the military force of the country had been reduced, as the petitioners stated that a standing army was a great temptation to a Government to rule the country in a despotic manner. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. WALLACE gave notice that, on Monday, he should move for a return of the names of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, the age of each, and the period at which they entered the service. He should further move, on Monday, for a return to show the number of actions that had already been commenced, and what informa tions had been filed with respect to the frauds on the Customs. He also gave notice that on Monday he should inquire of the Under-Secretary of the Treasury at what time the free postage writing paper would be issued, and what the cost would be to the public. Colonel RAWDON gave notice that on Monday he should move for a return of the naval force that had been employed on the coast of Ireland from the year 1834 to the present time. ARMY AND POLICE IN IRELAND. Mr. W. IVILLIAMS moved for returns relating to the number of the military and police employed in Ireland during certain years, 1810, 1815, &c., to the present year ; also, for a return of the amount of money voted in the years named re spectively, for the maintenance of the police force in that country.—Ordered. Mr. BARRY BALDWIN moved for a return of the amount of stock transferred from England to Ireland since the Ist of January, 1841—Ordered. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON moved for returns relating to the foreign wines in bond, in the years from 1828 to 1838 in clusive. PUBLIC SALARIES. Mr. WILLIAMS, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary to the Treasury (Sir George Clerk) in his place, begged leave to ask him a question. In an early part of last session, he (Mr. W.) moved for a return of the number of persons receiving the public money in salaries or pensions, to the amount of 1,0001. and upwards. This re turn was presented to the Treasury on the 10th of February. Now what he wished to ask was, when the return would be laid on the table of the House ? Sir GEORGE CLERK said that the Report had been pre pared for some time ; but before they could be presented it would be necessary for the Hon. Member to give a fresh notice and to alter the form of his motion, as there were several offices included in the return, which were not comprehended in the Hon. Gentleman's motion. Mr. WILLIAMS then gave notice that on Monday next he would bring forward the motion in an amended farm. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. • Sir G. CLERK moved that the House, at its rising, do ad journ till Monday.—Agreed, to. ESTIMATES. Mr. WILLIAMS begged to ask the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, whether he intended to take the Army or the Navy Estimates first, in the Committee of Supply. Sir R. PEEL said, the Navy Estimates would be taken first ; but for the convenience of the House he would move that the Order of the Day for going into Committee of Supply be postponed till Monday neat. The Order was then postponed. EXPORT OF COALS. - Mr. HUME asked the Right Hon. Baronet the First Lord of the Treasury, whether since the House separated last session there had been any order issued with respect to the export duty on coals, and whether any alteration had taken place in the amount of the duty. lie understood that some modification had taken place in the duty, and that the export of coals had been allowed, subject to that modifi cation. If this was the fact, it was desirable the House should be in possession of some information respecting it. Sir R. PEEL said that any order that had been made on the subject should be laid before the House. COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Sir VALENTINE BLAKE said he had, on the previous evening given notice of a motion for considering the expediency of establishing a quicker communication with America by rail roads and canals in communication with the ship canal across. Ireland, and thence by steamers across the Atlantic. He now merely bad to notice , that in the Times of this day it was stated that his motion was for executing railways and canals across the Atlantic. Of course the reporter would not have been consistent if he had not added, " great laughter." —( Hear, hear, and laughter.) If that had been the object of his motion, the laughter would have been perfectly just. He did not think it necessary to convert the matter into a breach of privilege—(Laughter)—and he hoped it would not be ne cessary to take any further notice of it. Sir R. PEEL begged to assure the Hon. Baronet that nothing would be harder than that he should blame the re porter, he had fallen into the same mistake himself.—(Great Laughter.) S'r V. BLAKE was astonished that the Right Hon. Ba ronet should have fallen into the same mistake as the records of Parliament stated the purport of the motion which he made during the last session. THE CATHEDRALS. Mr. HUME asked the Right Hon. Baronet if be had had any communication with the Dean and Chapter of Westminster with respect to the admission fees into the Cathedral. Sir R. PEEL said he had had several communications with the Dean and Chapter, but he had not received any intimation of any final arrangement having been made on the subject. IRELAND—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Captain BERNAL, in rising to resume the adjourned de bate, said that after the able and eleguent speech, last even ing, of the Noble Lord the Member for Sunderland (Lord liowick), it was but natural for the House to suppose that some leading Member of the opposite side would have risen to reply to him. He (Capt. Bernal) waited for some time in expectation that this would be the case, and in moving the adjournment he had been charged with standing between the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government and the house. He certainly should not presume to have got up at all, had he known such would have been the case, and he thought it necessary to give this explanation, as he had been blamed not only by friends but rather by opponents. If they wanted proof of the truth of Oxenstein's saying, " Go, my son, and see with how little wisdom this world is governed," he thought it could readily he found in the present Govern ment in regard to their policy in Ireland. lie had listened with great surprise and equal attention to the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir Jas. Graham). That it was all complaisance and mildness he (Captain Bernal) was free to confess, but through all that speech of blandishments it was very evident that in his heart was lurking the old principle of " Protestant ascendancy" and "No surrender." That speech would show to Ireland that Ministers had never contem plated any measure whatever of effective concession. and conciliation. There was a time when the Irish nation made their solemn renunciation of a repeal of the union—there was a time when there were no monster meetings—no meet- ings at all save those of a few noblemen and gentlemen who turned their backs upon the Lord Lieutenant, because he wished to govern the country in a spirit of fairness and impatiality. —( Hear, hear.) The Government now had reduced the country to three classes—infantry, cavalry, and artillery.—. ( Hear, hear.) There might have been Governments in he land more arbitrary and blood-thirsty—that of Strafford, for instance—than the present one—but they could not bring to him the instance of any Administration that was more tho roughly anti-Irish than the prsent. Was he alone in this opinion ? Indeed he was not ; for, during the last session of Parliament, the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Recorder of Dublin (Mr. Shaw), maintained the same sentiments, though expaessed perhaps in somewhat milder language. That High; Hon. Gentleman maintained, too, and with pertinacious deter mination, that he had got hole of the right religion, and he was not alone in thinking so.—( Laughter, and a sign of dis sent from Mr. Shaw.) Why, he said so late as last even ing, that he late as last evening that he would sacrifice his life for that which he and others held—the exclusive possession of religious truth.-- (Hear, hear.) He came now to the conduct of the Government, in reference to the late monster meetings in Ireland ; and he must say that lie con sidered it most strange that, after watching them for nine months, and even declaring that in them they viewed the pre parations for rebellion, they had only acted at the very last moment, and that, too, with such precipitation. In respect to the trials for calling or attending these monster meetings, he must admit that the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir J. Graham) made a successful defence of the Govern ment, so far as the striking of the panel :went. But the broad and plain question for them to consider was, not what was due to the mere technicalities of lawyers, but what was due to the great principle of truth, ho nesty, and justice. He was sorry that the Attorney- General for Ireland, who, it was promised, would have been in his place before this, was not present as, had he been so, he should have made some observations, which, under the pre sent circumstances, he should refrain from. It had been as serted by a Noble Member of the Government (Lord Stanley) that there had been a systematic attempt to force the Attorney- , General for Ireland into a breach of decorum.—Hear, hear.) He (Captain Bernal) was in a position to contradict this ; and to assert that no such attempt, that no such de sire had ever existed, except in the over-heated imagination of the Right Honourable and choleric Gentleman himself. He had a list of the appointments under Lord De Grey's Ad • ministration. It appeared that they had had ten preferments to give away. He would merely refer to one of them. The Rev. Holt Waring had been made Dean of Dromore, a sinecure dignity, worth 1,5001. a year. This gentleman was formerly Grand Chaplain of the Orangemen, a political agitator, re markable for his bigotry, and these were some of his exploits; —ln the year 1835 there was a large meeting at Hillsborough. Shortly after eleven o'clock, said the account, bands announced the approach to the town of the first divi sion, but at half distance.—(Laughter) They were headed by the Rev. Holt Waring. A union jack was hoisted as the signal of their arrival. In a few minutes they were seen marching down a steep hill, and approaching the place of meeting, comprising In all not less than 20,000 persons. Having escorted Mr. Waring to the front of the platform, they received his flag, and having given three cheers, let Hon. Gentlemen opposite mark this expression —they de ployed and took up their position around.—( Great laughter.) The ;meeting at length amounted to 75,000 pe rsons , an d at this meeting Mr. Waring made an inflammatory speech against the Catholics, and the national system of edu ca ti on . His merits were passed over by the late Government, and it remained for Lord De Grey to appoint him to this situation. With respect to his Excellency's thirty-nine chaplains —all nil. precedsnted number—the); all agreed in one point, namely, op positioi to the national education. To leave the system in etch hands resembled the trying of conspirators by a jury which was opposed to them.—( Hear, hear.) In the 'ear 1839 the Right Hon. Baronet made the volun tary ant remarkable eonfession that Ireland was his chief diffi culty. Now he was anxious to put this question to the Right Hon. Baronet—at what point would his difficulty become realised?—(Hear, hear.) Was he not satisfied with having ;ounteracted all the good which had been done in Ire lam' foi the last fifteen years ?—(Hear, year, and cheers. ) Was it not enough to have set sect against sect? Was not the reNious animosity of that country again excited ? Was not tie country ruled by the army? Was not the Dike of Wellington in fact Pro-Consul of Ire land?--;Loud cheers.) He called upon the night Honourable Baronet to make a declaration as to what was the maximum of difficulty with which he would be content. Did he wait till Ireland as deluged with blood and irretrievably lost to Great Britain 7 He called upon the Right Hon. Baronet to come forward and say what was his maximum of difficulty.—( Cheers.) He ( Captaii Bernal) could not but express his regret at the apathy which existed among the great body of English Member as to Irish grievances.—( Hear.) If a sense of justice could not rouse them to take part with Ireland, perhaps a sense of self-interest might.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The Right Hon. Boronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department had let drop some signifi cant exp.PsOons the other night in that debate. He hinted at conspiicy. Let not Hon. Gentlemen be too secure in their confilerice. The same scenes which were new rehearsing in Ireland, might be enacted in England. They might depend upon it thit it was not the disposition bnt the opportunity tha wanting. ‘, Jam proximus ardet Ucalegon." It was net by the vituperation of the Hon. Member for Cork that they would conciliate the affections of the Irish pecple. If they intended to rule Ireland with advantage to England th e y mus t d o i t w i t h re . garsi to kish notions, nay to Irish prejudicies.—(Hear, hear.) Move all they must cherish the Catholic reli gion as a good, not tolerated as an evil.—( Hear, hear. ) He asked were the present Government prepared to do this? The answer was, No. He repeated in the words of a great deceased man, that the present Government could not govern Ireland for England. The loss of a nation's good will (said .he Hon Member in conclusion) is synonymous with the loss of reputation. After being experienced of all your past tfranny, Ireland may, in the prodigality of her mercy, forgve yeu, but surely she eau never trust you.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. D'ISRA ELI thought he onght not to shrink on the present occasion from expressing, w ith ou t reserve , an d w i t h the utmost explicitness, the view that he entertained of the qustion before the House, andhe trusted that in doing so that he would meet with the indulgence of the House. In the first place, he rrust remark that in his speech the Noble Lord, the Member fir Sunderland, who had closed the debate last night, repeated wlat was often stated in that House, a right appreci ation of wh.ch would he (Mr. D'lsraeli) imagined throw great light on the general subject, and facilitate the solution of that vexatious political problem—he meant the right government of Ireland. The Noble Lord referred to a period or more than 300 years ago—the period of the Reformation, and the Hon. and Learned Member for Devonport (Sir George Grey) while he equally, with the Noble Lord, avowed his convicti in in the truth of Protestant principles, seemed to be of opinion, that between the introduction of more Protestant principles of religion and the misgovernment of Ireland there was a necessary and irresistible connexion. Now he (Mr. D'lsraeli) wished to place before the House some facts which are necessary for its consideration. If he were t o refer to that period in the history of Ireland when the Government of the country approached nearly to the de scription which the Honourable Gentleman opposite often affered at that which they wished to see established, it would be a period by no means so distant as that to which the Noble Lord referred. He would take, for instance, a period of only two hundred years b ac k, the period immediately preceding the breaking out of the great civil war. Now what was the Government of Ire land at that period. There was a Parliament in Dublin called by a Protestant King, and presided over by a Prot es t an t N iceroy—there was at that time a Protestant Established Church in Ireland, yet. the majority of th e Mem bers of Parliament were Roman Catholics. The Government of the country was carried on by a Council of State--presided over by a Protestant deputy — yet the majority of that Council of State were Roman Catholics; the majority of the sheriffs of counties were Roman Catholics; and the prepon derating numbers of the magistracy were Roman Catholiea. (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE COMPLETE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT. The Council of the National Complete Suffrage Union met at Birmingham on Monday ; the President in the chair. Most encouraging accounts were read from different parts of the kingdom, regarding the rapid and satis factory progress which the Supply movement is making in the public mind. LETTER FROM MR. W. S. CRAWFORD. _ _ _ Mr. STURGE then read the following letter from Mr. W. S. Crawford, which he hac , l ,i t!i o a n t d m on o , rning Feb. received:— " Respected Friend,—l think it right to submit to you a few observations on the present position of the move ment, which has been commenced in the House of Com mons, with a view to pressing forward the consideration of grievances on motions of Supply. By a reference to the division lists you will find that 40 Members voted in sup port of that principle of action, taking the two divisions conjointly. Out of these 40 Members you will observe that three, who voted in favour of the first motion, voted against the second motion; but, even if we are to suppose that these gentlemen are:no longer to be included in our lists, still there remain 37 Members, and there are some Members whose support might be expected. It should always be kept in mind in this movement, that a minority cannot be justified in any course which would indicate a determined opposition to a majority, unless it is based on the position that the minority do truly represent the people, and that the majority do not ; and this can only be evidenced by the constitutional expression of the people's voice in the form of petition, and by the com munication of the sentiments of constituencies to their respective representatives ; but in such communications allow me to add, that it is not right to ask them to sup port the detail of proceedings which any particular that d each be n u qu e i m re b d er into sb Member might suggest or adopt ; but the con s tit uenc i es should insist on the principle that th e com pl a i n t s o f be e e o b u e ld for m e ake the., su S e u i p l plies mo tions and take such steps, as in hi s j u d gment wou ld b e most effective for the purp ose . 441 h a d written so far bef ore I was aware that notice had been given by the Government to b r i ng on t h e voted, people andshoul Army and Navy EStimates in Committee of Supply on Friday next. This is, I believe, a rapidity most un usual, if not unprecedented. The estimates are not vet delivered, and cannot be in the hands of the , Members for some days. It is obvious that by this course any possible expression of public opinion on the subject of the movement now commenced will be fore stalled ; but if, it be supposed that the fixing of this early day was done with that object, it will be a proof of the importance of the movement, and a stimulus to greater exertion in carrying it forward. In order to meet this proceeding of the Government, I have this day given notice that I shall on F r id ay next move an amendment on the motion of Supply, to the effect that the consideration of the estimates be postponed ;' this motion will of course be lost, but it will be a stronger foundation for a contest on the estimates, if the Members representing popular constituencies feel so disposed. In the meantime, I shall, as an individual Member, keep up the ' system of pro ceeding to such extent as prudence and utility shall seem to me to warrant. But I must remind you that there is an obstacle to a single Member, or a few Members. pushing a proceeding of this kind to any great extent, without a sufficient weight both of internal and external support, lest it might be made a plea by the majority to swamp those privileges of the Commons which are in tended as the best securities of the rights of the people. At the same time, I am convinced that if a body of Members, to the number which the late divisions show were determined to act together, and w ere backed by a sufficient power of the public voice, no Government could stand against them for any length of time and refuse re dress of grievances ; and I am equally convinced that there are no other means in prospect by which that re dress can be obtained. " Believe me, with the highest respect, zour Friend, " Wbf. SHARMAN CRAW.FORD. " To Joseph Sturge, &c. &c." Mr. STURGE expressed his high satisfaction with the prudent and persevering exertions of Mr. Crawford, with the conduct of those who had supported him, and the healthy state of public feeling on the subject. He traced the history of the movement, and expressed his anxious wish that the friends of the cause would feel that the good work was but a beginning, and that they would continue to agitate until the opinion of the majo rity of the people were distinctly known. Mr. J. C. PERRY moved, and Mr. W. MORGAN se conded, the following resolutions, which were passed tffianimously.- 1. That this Council congratulate the friends of com plete suffrage upon the remarkable success which has attended the introduction into Parliament of the pro posal for redressing the grievances of thepeople_before voting the supplies, and they denve great encouragement from the fact that forty Members have recorded their votes in favour of that proposal. 2. That this Council have read the letter of Mr. Shar man Crawford to their President, dated the 10th inst., with great interest, and beg to assure that gentleman of their ,unabated confidence, and the deep gratitude they entertain for his faithful services in the cause of the people, and advocacy of their claims, and they rejoice that an instrument for enforcing those claims is now in the hands of the patriotic Members of Parliament who really represent the people. 3. That this Council look forward with the deepest anxiety to the discussion about to take place on the ArmyEstimates,and in anticipation of the amendment of which Mr. Crawford has given notice being defeated, trust that the friends of the people in Parliament will use every means which the forms of the House will per mit to resist the grant of Supplies even for a limited period, until an assurance be obtained that the master grievance of non.representation shall be considered, with a view to its complete redress. STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—MISS , whose death appeared in the Mercury of Friday last, was cousin to her employer, Mr. —. Confinement had wrought so unfa vourably upon her health that last summer she went to the country. Having been there some time, she received a letter, stating that unless she returned immediately, her situation would not be kept for her. She did return, and graduglly grew worse. On the day of her death she appeared to be labouring more severely than she had before done under the influence of her malady. Her cousin desired her to go home, but she was too unwell, and died in her clothes. Hu mother, a poor woman, was sent for. She wished the corpse to remain there until a coffin could be obtained, but Mr. would not consent, saying, " Do you think I would have a corpse in my house ?" " Well," replied the distressed mother, " let me go first and inform the people I lodge with of poor —'s death." She went, and scarcely had she entered the house, than a cab stopped by the door, and the cabman called out, "I have a passenger for you." lie then descended and opened the door of the cab, when a sight presented itself which made him " blush for them," to use his own words. The corpse had fallen from the seat, and its nose was much disfigured. The front part of the dress had been cut open, to allow the poor girl breathing room, and when the corpse was seen-in the cab, the dress, front above to the waist, had dropped down, so that the upper part was literally naked! This unfeeling wretch refused to assist the poor mother with the loan of the means to bury her, although the poor girl had provided for that before hand, but the party who had the money was not in town at the time. And she was heard to say, "I can die happy, because I know I have money to bury me with !"—The above has been communicated from a highly respectable party, but we think it only justice to say that we have heard a somewhat different statement of the same case, though, we fear, the main incident is only too true.—Licerpool Nercury. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 15. STATE OF IRELAND—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. P. BORTHWICK said that in the able speech which the House bad just heard, the Honourable Gentleman did not say what remedies he would propose in the social, civil, or ecclesiastical institutions of Ireland. If the Hon ourable Gentleman proposed to establish the Roman Ca tholic Church in Ireland as the Presbyterian Church was established in Scotland—and he ( Mr. Borthwick) thought that by far the most equitable and feasible arrangement—yet he believed that the Hon. Member would have no more determined opponent to such a proposition than the Noble Lord who sat beside him ( Lord John Russell). With respect to the late trials, he must confess that he had looked upon it with dread. He thought that one result of it must be that it would increase the influence of the Libe rator, who would now be regarded by the people not merely as an agitator, but as a martyr in their cause. However, it would have this advantage, that it would enable the Government to advance to Ireland with measures of conciliation, when they were in a condition to say that concession had not been extorted by intimidation—when they had put an end to those multitudinous meetings which disquieted Ireland, and, he might say, alarmed Europe. What benefit d d they expect would arise from a debate on the sufferings of Ireland in that House? Why, none what ever—or rather the effect of a debate, which would be nothing but an interchange of charges between the opposing parties, would be but to embitter the animosities which dis tracted that country and add to the fuel that consumed it. That would be the effect of a debate, and not a remedy for the evils of the country. The Honourable Gentleman who had spoken last said that Mr. O'Connell was perfectly sincere in his desire to benefit his country. He (Mr. Borthwick) for one never had the slightest doubt that the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork in his long career had only in view the good of his country. But he was not to judge of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's motives, but of the results of his career, and if he were asked whether it were better to assist the Minister of the Crown in proposing re medial measures for Ireland. or aid in taking from that House the power of legislating for that country, ho could have no hesi tation in giving the preference to the former course. With re spect to the motion of the Noble Lord (J. Russell), he must certainly oppose it, because no good to Ireland could result from it. Suppose that, ins , ead of Lord Normanhy, an Orange man had been Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, would it not have been considered very unfair to quote the opinions and policy of such an ultra-Lord-Lieutenant, as a precedent for future Lord-Lieutenants. He craved permission of Hon. Gentlemen opposite to consider that sympathy for the people of Ireland was not entirely confined to themselves—they should give Hon. Members on this side sa the House credit for acting, according to their honest convictions. No measure could be more calcu lated to confer any practical benefit on the Irish people than the motion of the Noble Lord, nor hardly any measure more productive of mischief.—( Hear) No favourable issue could be anticipated from it, and he felt it to be his bounden duty to give that motion his most strenuous opposition. And in so doing he would not be actuated by any motive of indifference or dis like to the interests of the people of Ireland, and he sincerely wished that the government of that people might be carried out in the spirit of affection and good-will, in such a manner as would secure ultimate peace and prosperity to that country. There was adisposition on the other side of the House, to attri bute every vote given in favour of Ministers to a hatred of Ireland—that was a most unjust aspersien. The Noble Lord had alluded to the term " aliens," used by the Lord Chancellor. He thought sufficient explanation had been given to the House that that word had not been used in an invidions sense. The Eng lish were aliens in the same sense as the Irish were in the way Lord Lyndhurst had used the word.— ( Hear, hear.) They were aliens to the Irish as the Irish were to them. He could hardly wonder at strong expressions having been used by the Hon. Member for Cork, when the Noble Lord, the Member for London, condescended to have recourse to such paltry party sub. terfuges. The agitator was no longer the Member for Cork, but the Noble Lord, the Member for the city of Lon don. Agitation had been transferred to the benches opposite. The lion. and Learned Member for Cork had been received in that House in a spirit of good- will. He participated in that spirit. But as they sat in that House as legislators, he was of opinion those who so received him after his conviction must he inimical and hostile to the good of the State.—( Cheers.) He (Mr. Borthwick) had the greatest respect for the abilities of that Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and he believed he was sincere in the policy he pursued, though he was not very eour teouslv received even by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman himself, when on one occasion he said so. Now that the law had been vindicated, he did not wish he should receive any punishment.—( Hear, hear.) The people of Ireland would now perceive that the language addressed to them by Mr. O'Connell was not to be tolerated. They would see he was not to be a Viceroy over her Majesty, and was not to supersede both Houses of Parliament. He thought the empire owed the present Government a debt of gratitude for putting down the agitation, and he now hoped that they would follow it up, by developing the great resources of prosperity in Ireland, and would pull up all those noxious weeds which would tend to foster any similarly obnoxious agitation. Sir H. WINSTON BARRON said he did not rise for the purpose of answering the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, but he rose to ask whether, after this country had pos sessed Ireland for 700 years, they were still determined to keep herby a military occupation ? The Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, confessed that she was to be so held, and no Hon. Gentleman denied it. Now he would ask in sober sadness, as an Irishman—of the people of England, of the people of Scotland, th e p eop l e o f W a l es , o f the whole civilized world, whether this was a state of things which could be borne by any men of spirit who had hearts to feel or hands to act? He did not say it by way of menace, but he asked them did they think - the people of Ireland ought to submit to it ? They would not submit to be kept in military bondage by any nation.— ( Cheers.) You would not submit to it yourselves. You extracted Magna Charta from one King, and you brought another—he would not then inquire whether justly or no—to the block, became he attempted to encroach upon your liber ties; and when you would not submit to be tyrannised yourselves, do you think the people of Ireland will submit to it ?—( Cheers. ) It was not in human nature to submit to it, and the people of Ireland would not long submit to it. He would never join in any armed opposition to the laws of the land—he would never unite in any military array against the Government, if such arose in the country ; but did they think that seven millions of Irishmen had the same reasons for not doing so which he had ? The country was poor and distracted—it was in a state approaching to disor ganization. They had many grievances to complain of, as he was prepared to show, upon the authority of men possessed of large fortunes in the country—men of rank—men who seldom mix themselves up in political agitation. A petition had been presented to Parliament by men representing property amount ing, at least, to :,00,000/. or 600,0001. a-year. The Hon. Gen tleman then referred to the petition agreed to at Charlemont House, and setting forth the grievances of the country. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the address of the Irish Mem bers at the close of the last session of Parliament. They set forth the grievances of the country, and, amongst other things, they complained that the resources of the country were not developed. This, in his opinion, was one of the greatest evils afflicting Ireland. The second demand of the Irish represen tatives last year was, the recognition of perfect equality with regard to ecclesiastical and educational arrangements between the several religious classes into which the population of Ireland is divided; the third was a more ample representation; the fourth, a franchise adequate to giving full expression to public opinion ; the fifth, an assimilation of municipal rights in both countries ; the sixth, that Ireland should participate more largely in the benefit of the public expenditure. That was a matter which had been sadly neglected by the British Legisla ture—by English Chancellors of the Exchequer —and by none more than by the Right Hon. Gentleman, whom he sow oppo site. The seventh demand was, that, in the administra tion of the Government, the profession of the Roman Catholic faith, should be no longer a ground virtually, as it had ceased to be one legally, of exclusion from official situations. And on this subject he must advert to the anomalous position in which Ireland found herself. There was not a place of honour and emolument there which was not filled with men totally ignorant of, and unconnected with, Ireland—men who first set their foot on the soil of Ireland when they went to fill a situation there. Then, with respect to legislative representation, Ireland was entitled to at least 130 Members. Why, he asked, should not Ireland have as many voters, in proportion to her population and resources, as Eng land? Were not the voters in that country as independent, and as worthy of the franchise, as the voters in England? Were they not rather more independent, for it was a well-known fact that a tenant in England never ventured to vote against the wishes of his landlord, while, in Ireland, the voter invariably voted according to his conscience. He knew an instance of his position with respect to the English voter, which bore him out in his assertion. In a coun!y of England with which he was acquainted, a Noble Lord possessed an estate, the tenants upon which always voted for a Whig candidate at elections, because the Noble Lord was of Whig principles. The heir who afterwards inherited the estate was of opposite principles, and what was the consequence ? Why, the tenants voted at the last election for the Conservative candidate, a thing they never did in their lives hefere. With respect to taxation, which was a matter of the utmost importance in an inquiry into the state of Ireland, very erroneous statements were very in dustriously circulated. A writer, in whom Honourable Gen tlemen opposite seemed to have great confidence, had written a pamphlet on this subject, which was filled with mis representations front beginning to end. Hr meant the late work of Mr. Montgomery Martin. By such productions Englishmen were led to believe that Ireland did not bear a fair share of the taxation of the empire. But he would cite the opinions of men whose authority on the subject certainly could not be outweighed by that of Mr. Montgomery Martin, how ever much Hon. Gentlemen opposite might think of that per son. Lord Fitzgerald, the Irish Chancellor of the Exchequer in the year 1816, when proposing the consolidation of the Ex chequers of the two countries, stated that Ireland had, in the sixteen years that elapsed since the union, paid 78,000,000/. in taxation, which was 47,000,0001. more than she was bound to pay; and the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (the Chancellor of the Exchequer), in the year 1822 ' stated that it w as th en al lowed, on all hands, that th e contribution to the taxation of the empire of two-seventeenths from Ireland, was more than she was able to bear. Mr. Leslie Foster bore similar testimony as to Ireland's being overburdened with taxation. Had the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government no remedy to offer for such a state of matters ? He ( Sir H. Barron) believed that the Right Hon. Gentleman was placed in a false position with respect to Ireland. He believed him honest in his intentions and opinions, but he was diametrically opposed to the party who supported him in that country, and how then could he hold office with honour to himself and benefit to the country while such was the case. The Right Hon. Gentleman ought to retire from office when he found he could not benefit the country by his administration, or he ought to adopt measures of a really beneficial nature. The trade and manufactures of Ireland had been de clining apace ever since the union. The Hon. Baronet then quoted extracts from the speech of Dr. Boyton, a Conserva tive, in order to show that the trade and manufactures of Ire land had declined since the union. The Doctor said that the imports and exports of Ireland had vastly diminished, that thousands of people were out of employment, and had not the slightest means of obtaining their daily bread. Was it not the business of a great statesman to prevent the continuance of such a state of things without attempting a remedy? Public works. such as railroads, opening the mines and collieries, and clear ing waste lands, should be set on foot. The condition of the people was getting worse from year to year, and by conse quence, crime had increased, for, in the year the Whigs went out of office, it required only a military force of 13,000, now double the number are requisite. The Irish people should be governed, not by the sword, hut by enlisting their affections He was sorry to say that those newspapers which were said to represent the Irish Government, such as the Mail and the Packet, were continually pouring out the vilest abuse on the Catholic people and their clergy; and these attacks were echoed on this side of the Channel by the limes, which used such phrases as " surplieed ruffians," and a " demon print. hood." He did not attribute the feelings which gave birth to them to the English people. God forbid. He did not believe the sensible portion of the English people were actuated by such feelings. But, what Were they to say to the declamations at Exeter-hall—what were I they to say to the printed emanations of that assembly which were circulated through hundreds of thousands of the people of England and Ireland, and which contained such expressions as " the awful perjury of the Catholic Bishops of Ireland," and " the repeal of the fatal Emancipation Act ?"—( Hear, hear.) He regretted that some Englishmen lent themselves to such disgraceful proceedings, and participated by their presence and approbation in such heinous slander of their fellow-subjects. The appointments in Ireland of the present Government had been most objectionable. Chief Justice Pennefather, one of these appointments, had lately distinguished himself by what was aptly termed a speech to evidence. An Irish barrister, who was not at all interested in the fate of the traversers, described the charge as." a speech to evidence," and as being still more exceptionable in its manner of delivery than in its matter. He said there never was a more disgraceful exhibition at the Irish bar. This same Chief Justice Penne father had, in charging a jury, a short time ago, in a prosecu tion far libel against the editor of a Dublin newspaper, actually told the jury that what they were about to try was a most dia bolical libel. Then, as regarded the appointments of Baron Lefroy, arid Mr. Justice Jackson, they, too, were highly excep tionable. Why, the Duke of Northumberland would not let Sergeant Lefroy go on circuit on account of his violent politics; and the appointment of Sergeant Jackson was equally objec tionable, for the same reasons. He did not deny that both were very upright, honourable men, but they were totally unfit for the situations they now filled. The dismissal of the ma ' gistraey was a most unwise step, particularly the dismissal of the stipendiary magistrates, in whom the people justly placed confidence.—( Hear, hear.) But what could lie say to the State trials, a packed jury, a pistol Attorney-Ges neral, and a Judge Jeffreys, as an Englishman had wittily remarked to hire (Sir H. W. Barron) ? He asked, in the name of the people of Ireland, and in the name of every thing sacred and dear to man, that that people might be go. eerned on principles of equity, impartiality, and justice, and that the present system of ascendancy and misgovernment might cease for ever.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. J. W. REPTON opposed the motion of the Noble Lord, Ind thought that the Government had acted wisely regarding the Irish State prosecutions. He would not detain the House longer than to say one word with respect to the Catholic priest hood. He was a sincere member of the Church of England ; but he thought that any attempt to oppose the Catholic clergy would be iesane, for it would create an agitation more for midable than that which had just been put down.—( Hear. ) Mr. MORE O'FERRALL said that in the whole course of this debate, which involved so much the character of the Government, the House had heard no expression of opinion on the part of any member of the Government connected with Ireland, except a Lord of the Irish Treasury (Mr. Young). —( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department, indeed, had declared his views with respect to the future government of Ireland. He had spoken out. He had told them that he was determined to govern that country in a constitutional manner, but that it had always been occupied by force, and must he governed by force. So far as Ireland was concerned the " dodging" system was given up, and the Liberal party would know how to act. He hoped the Irish Liberals would unite with those of this country, and no longer divide their strength.—( Hear, hear. ) The Right Hon. Ba ronet plainly told his intentions about Ireland, but he said no thing of his •iews respecting the commercial policy of England. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he had not used the words that Ireland should he governed by force. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL—If the Right Hon. Gentleman did not ray so in precisely these words he said so substantially. He said it was absolutely necessary to maintain the Established Church, and he was determined to do so. Now, surely that was anintimatioe of his determination to rule by force, for the Established Church could not be maintained otherwise than by force.—(Cries of " No, no, no," from the Ministerial benches.) But the Right Hon. Gentleman had gone further, he did say that Ireland had alwas been occupied by force, and if lie (Mr. O'Ferrall) had not remembered exactly the words which followed, their meaning was certainly to the effect, that the Government must he maintained by ferce. Force was ne cessary to maintain the Established Church in its present false position. No one could deny that the ministers of that Church interfered very materially with secular affairs.—( Hear, hear.) He had known eases in which clergymen had recommended to the landlords that they should get rid of their Catholic tenants and fill up their places with Pt atestants—( Hear, hear) —and there was, therefore, a strong feeling among the peasantry in that country, that they should be dispossessed of t heir farms to snake room for Protestants. The clergy placed them selves in an anomalous state, and he believed that the half secular, half religious, character of the Church was the great cause of the excited state of that coun try. Now let the House consider what was the effect of the law with respect to the certificates ? If he (Mr. More O'Fer rall) had occasion to prove, in a court of justice, that he was a Christian, a certificate of baptism from a Roman Catholic priest would not be legal evidence ; and the same rule applied to the certificates of marriage.—( Hear, hear, hear.) So with respect to the registration of wills, no matter in what part of the country a man may live, he must register his will in the diocesan courts, and everybody knew in what way the bu siness of those courts was neglected. Now, this was a purely secular matter, and there was no occasion whatever for the clergy to interfere in it, as there war already an establish ment for registration in Dublin, which worked very well.— ( Hear, hear.) Ile thought that the Liberal party in Ireland ought to unite with the English Liberals, upon such a ques tion as the repeal of the union. He never did, and never would conceal his opinions upon that question. but this he would say, that the result of the union must be this, that England must be lowered to the condition of Ireland, er Ireland raised to the condition of England.—(Hear.) The condition of the people of this country was much worse since the union, and was becoming worse from year to year. The emigration of Irish labourers into this country had increased from year to year, and was increasing ; and if something was not done to raise the Irish from their present poverty, the degradation of the English labourer would go on increasing. He said this to show that it was not Irishmen alone, but every man in that House, and every man in England, was interested in im proving the condition of the Irish people—(Cheers)—. Gentleman opposite cheered, as if they agreed in that opinion. —(Cheers.) If they did so, why, then, not take the proper steps to effect it ?--( Hear, hear.) It might be prejudice— and to a great extent he admitted it was—to think that they were not disposed to do so. But the measures they spoke of adopting were but little calculated for the purpose. ( Hear, hear.) Certainly the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Sir James Gra ham) proposed to give the Catholics the power of endowing their own Church, but it was to be borne in mind that the Ca tholics had already, and richly endowed their Church. They had built churches in every parish. They had established throughout the country rich ecclesiastical foundations, but their churches and church lands were taken from them and given to the Protestant clergy ; and in many of those churches, in the . most extensive parishes, no service was at this day celebrated by the clergy who possessed them. Now, what security could the Catholics of Ireland have that if they availed themselves of the proposed law a similar plunder might not again be perpetra ted ? The Right Hon. Gentleman promised also to introduce a measure for the better registration of voters, but he (Mr. O'Fer rall) would not say anything of its merits until he knew what it was. But he understood, from a newspaper report, that the Right Hon. Baronet had said to a friend of his that the contemp lated division of the counties would strengthen the Tory inter est.—( Cheers and laughter.) It had been complained that the subject of the late State Trials ought not to have been introduced in this discussion; but he thought that it was not possible to have omitted it in the consideration of his Noble Friend's motion. Now, what had been the effect of those trials upon public opinion ? What was the opinion of the public as to the constitutio n o f th e j ury ? Catholics were rejected, a n d it was said that they were re jected, not because they were Catholics, but because they were Repealers ; but the fact proved otherwise, for they were not Repealers.—( Hear, hear. ) Yet if they had belonged to that society, why were the members of the society in Dawson street not objected to, when it was known that they had very strong feelings against the accused ? To this it had been an swered, that - it was difficult to get an impartial jury in Ireland. But that ought to have been con sidered, by those who asserted it, a good reason for having no trial at all.—(" Oh, oh," from the Tory benches.) What, then, had been the case ?—(Hear, hear.) Could any man believe that it had been a fair conviction ? If he (Mr. O'Ferrall) thought that it vras a fair conviction, he would have honestly owned it in that House. The trial had not had the effect that it was intended, and ought to have had. If it had been shown to the people of Ireland that the traversers were tried in a fair and satisfactory way, the conviction would have produced an immense moral effect, but. the only effect it could now have would be to create distrust , in the administration of the law, and the universal belief of the people that the proceedings were all unfair' from beginning to end.— ( Hear, hear.) There was a strong feeling certainly that the accident which happened to the jury list happened on purpose. He did not think so, nor did he say it ; but he would say that great and culpable negligence had been, ex hibited.—( Hear, hear.) Ile did not wish to speak of the Attorney-General in his absence, but he would say that, from the beginning to the end, there had been a system of blunder ing highly discreditable. There was nothing new in such con duct of law proceedings in Ireland. There had always been an indisposion on the part of the judges and the law authorities of the Crown to apply to the practice of the Irish Courts the principle of justice and good sense which prevailed in the ad ministration of the Criminal law in England. In 1776 an English lawyer was appointed to a Judgeship in Ireland. lie found that it was the practice in the Criminal Courts there that the grand juries found the bills of indictment upon written evidence and without examin ing the witnesses.—( Hear, hear.) He remonstrated on the subject with his brother judges, and recommended the English practice of examining viva voce before the jury. But the Irish judges replied that there was no necessity for any change, for the Irish mode was good enough for Ireland.—( A laugh.) So the practice continued to the year 1816, when Mr. Horner proposed a Committee to inquire into the subject, and they re— ported that the practice wire to find indictments upon writteii evidence in all cases excepting that of rape, in which the unfortunate female who was injured was compelled to go before the jury ; and he brought in a Bill to alter the law in that respect, and to require the indictments to be found upon examination. But he met the greatest opposition from all the authorities connected with Ireland, and especially from the juries. However, the next year Mr. Horner brought in his law, and in Committee there was only one alterati on ma d e in it, by the introduction of a clause authorising the finding upon written evidence in some cases. The clause was intro duced by Lord Castlereagh, but it was struck out in the House of Lords by Lord Ellenborough, who said that it was the worst clause in the Bill, and that they must not give the Irish gentlemen se much rope as they would desire.—(Laughter. ) He also introduced a clause directing that the judges should explain this Bill to the grand juries. Accordingly, one judge, Lord Norbury, in expounding the Act said, that it did a great injury to Ireland in attacking the reputation of the judges, and compelling jurors to examine witnesses.—(Laughter.) He ' mentioned this to show that it was not a new practice in Ire land to interpret the law against the prisoners. They had the admission of one of the judges that what was law in England in favour of the accused, was not law in Ireland. They saw the severity—almost the animosity with which the Chief Justice addressed the jury. —( Hear, hear, hear.) But they had also seen another difference between the practice of the English courts and that of the Irish. If two risen were brought before a magistrate in England, and one of them dared to challenge the other, he would be imme diately committed to prison. He remembered the case of a gentleman who, being examined in the Court of Queen's Bench here, in what he conceived a very offensive manner, as soon as he was dismissed from the box, he sent "a tlsree- cornered note" to the offending counsel, and in four hours he was sent to Nesvgate—(Hear)—and very properly. However, that was not the case in Ireland—( Hear)—where a gentleman, filling the position of the Attorney-General, trans gressed in a similar way, the Court passed it over, which he contended ought not to have been the case. He believed that the object of the Government was not vindication, but that the whole conduct of the proceedings was wrong, and they had failed to carry out their object, which was to impress the public that justice had been done. The people felt very indignant at the rejection of all Roman Catholics from the panel. He would not have felt indignant if they had been rejected only as repealers; but th e f ac t was th a t t h ey were not such. He should have thought no more about it, but he found that it was the servants of all work of the Government who took that invidious task upon themselves. He found that another of the law functionaries had, at a public meeting, spoken in a most out rageous manner of the Catholic people of Ireland, and of the Catholic Members of that Hottac. f ANarae named who ? th who?)

O'CON F ELL AT TILE HOUSE CommoNs.—The approaches to the House presented, this afternoon, a most animated spectacle, a large crowd of per sons having assembled, evidently for the special purpose of witnessing the arrival of Mr. O'Connell. The Hon. Member reached the vicinity of the House at about half-past four. On being recognised, he was greeted with tremendous ap plause, and so completely surrounded by the throng of his admirers, that he had great difficulty in making his way to the entrance-door. Altogether his reception was most enthusiastic. The Duke of Wellington, who arrived shortly after Mr. O'Connell, was greeted with clamorous shouts of dirapprobation, mingled with partial cheers. DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL EDWARD STIRLING DIcKsON.—We have to record the decease of another veteran flag officer of the Royal navy, Vice-Admiral of the White, Edward Stirling Dickson, which event took place on the 28th of January. DEATH OF VISCOUNT SIDMOUTII.—On the 15th instant, died, at the White Lodge, Richmond Park, in the 87th year of his age, Henry Addington, Viscount Sidmouth. He was twice married; first to Ursula Mary, daughter and co-heir of Leonard Hammond, Esq., by whom he has left one son, William Leonard, the present Viscount, married to Mary, daughter of the Reverend John Young, by whom he has eleven children ; and four daughters, 'Mary Anne Ursula; Frances, wife 'of the Hon. and Rev. George Pellew, Dean of Norwich ; Charlotte, wife of the Rev. Horace Gore Currie ; and Harriet, wife of Thomas Barber Wall, Esq. HiS Lordship married, secondly, Marianne, daughter, and at length heir, of William Scott, Lord Stowell, and widow of Thomas Townsend, Esq., by whom his Lordship left no isssue. More than twelve years before his death, Lord Sidmouth resigned a pension of three thousand pounds per annum, which was secured to him by law, and which he might have re tained to his last hours; but which, feeling that from altered circumstances he no longer required it, he thought it right to relinquish. He had gradually with drawn from all public employments, and almost even from honorary office. From the High Stewardship of Westminster he retired three or four years ago, and latterly retained only the situations of one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, one of the Governors of the Charter House, one of the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, and Deputy Ranger of Richmond Park. lle was Speaker of the House of Commons from May, 1789, to March, 1801 ; First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer, from March, 1801, to May, 1804 ; Lord President of the Council, 1805 • Lord Privy Seal, 1806 ; and S ecre t ary o f State for the home Department, from 1812 to 1822. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) H OUSE OF LORDS. Lord DEN3IA s, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. THE MARQUIS OF NORAIANBY'S PROTEST. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved that leave be given to Peers to sign, on Monday nest, the protest of the Marquis of Normanby against the decision of the House, negativing the resolutions proposed on the subject of Ireland.—Agreed to. COLONEL VERNER. The NOBLE MARQUIS then said, that he had to address one word of explanation to their Lordships on the subject of a mistake which had been made in the usual vehicles of public information in giving a report of his speech of last night. He had been represented as saying that the dismissal of Colonel Verner had not been his own act, but had been the act of the Lord Chancellor (Lord Plunkett). Now what he had_ said was, that the alle ga ti on aga i nst hi m, that he had dismissed Colonel Blacker and Colonel Verner, was incorrect. That the dismissal of Colonel Blacker had taken place during the Government of the Marquis of Wellesley, but that with regard to the dismissal of Colonel Verner, he (the Marquis of Normanby) took the whole responsibility upon himself. He had afterwards commun cated on the sub ject by letter with the Lord Chancellor (Lord Plunkett), who entirely approved of the course which he had adopted. THE CHARLEMONT HOUSE PETITION. The Marquis of WESTMEATH asked the Noble Marquis (Normanby) when he intended to present the petition which he had stated to have been agreed on at a meeting at Charle mont House, respecting the imaginary grievances of Ireland.
