" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a ss ricer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which be expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story ara dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.

At a late hear last night, or rather at an early hour this morning, the Attorney-General brought forward the promised resolutions respecting Baron ROTES CHILD'S claim to sit and vote in the House of Com mons as one of the chosen representatives for the city of London. By "an ingenious device " the an nouncement of the Ministerial intentions was post poned until all the votes on the estimates had been taken, and the amount of the Dnke of CAMBRIDGE'S annuity settled. Persons on all sides of the House were anxiously looking for information on the sub ject which is now regarded as of paramount importance in Parliament, and by the country, but their natural curiosity was permitted to remain unsatisfied for many hours. It was understood that the pro posed resolutions would have been printed in the morning along with the votes, but, alas ! there was nothing on the subject to soothe the anxiouA expec tanta. It was a " hiatus valde defiendus." Than it THE gITN, was announced that the resolutions " would be- laid on the table in the course of the evening ;" but hour after hour waned away, vote after vote was taken, until the H.eLe resumed, and the chairman repor►ed erogres-. Then at length the Noble Lord the Member for Marylebone gave expression to the general feeling. On the motion that the House should resolve itself into Committee on the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S Annuity Bill, Lord DUDLEY 1 STUART reminded the Premier of his promise and asked for its performance. But the Whigs are masters of " doddery." The lamented " Mr. Dew• kips" himself was not a greater adept in the various shifts and evasions that so justly entitled him to the title of "Artful." It would not quite do to offend the Liberal party before that question was decided. His Royal Highness might otherwise have to deplore the indiscretion of his allies. While the matter remained in suspense, no person would be willing to throw down the gauntlet• Each hoped that the course " most conducive to the dignity and usages of the House" would be in accordance with his own particular views, and might, consequently, be more manageable, while a studied re serve was maintained. The forms of the House were favourable to the concealment. The Speaker in formed the Noble Lord that "it was not competent t o put a question before all the orders of the day had been disposed of." The Attorney-General maintained a strict and unbroken silence, although, according to Lord Jour( RUSSELL, " quite ready to state the nature of the resolutions, when the Speaker informed him that he would be out of order in doing so at that time," It appeared, however, that the difficulty was not of an insuperable character, for no sooner was the ques tion relating to the Duke of CAMBRIDGE decided than the resolutions were brought forward without re monstrance or interruption, the Speaker remaining perfectly quiescent, although other " orders of the day were still to be disposed of." We leave the public to judge for itself as to the object of this not very creditable manoeuvre. As to the resolutions themselves, they are framed in the true spirit of " Whiggery." The Government is well acquainted with the value of the Machiavellian principle, " divide et impera." Lord JOHN and his colleagues have continued in power by arraying the extremes on either side against each other ; at one time receiving the support of one section, at -another time of another, and thus propping up their own minority, which would speedily be defeated if left to their own unassisted exertions. The first resolution is, consequently, framed in order to catch the votes of the " Tories," of those bigoted and intolerant parties who are the unflinching opponents of civil and reli gious liberty, and who sigh for the good old times of penal statutes and restriction, and who look upon " dissent" from their own exclusive and narrow doctrines as little better than treason. On that resolution they will be opposed by every true Liberal, by every man duly qualified to give a proper interpretation of the statutes, and to decide a "j udicial question" according to the spirit and intention, and not to the mere letter of the law. And we have yet sufficient confidence in the repre sentatives of the people to say that, notwithstanding the efforts of their prejudiced and bigoted auxiliaries, notwithstanding the absence from town of many ho nourable gentlemen who have prematurely abandoned their Parliamentary duties, to entertain sanguine anti cipations as to the result, to hope that Baron ROTHS CHILD, having taken the substance of the prescribed oaths in the manner which he declared to be most binding on his conscience—having merely refused a portion of the adjuration of that which was to be sworn by and not sworn to—will be admitted to all the rights and privileges to which his repeated selection by the constituency of the city of London so justly entitle him. The second resolution is intended to allay the in dignation of those who will be justly exasperated at the former, and who may in consequence be inclined to avenge the injury offered to the great principles of civil and religious liberty. It is a sort of pledge that the House will endeavour to repair the consequence of its own injustice ; that it will, " at the earliest opportunity in the next session of Parliament, take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve her MA.• JESTY'S subjects professing the Jewish religion ;" that the matter will not be postponed to the close of the Parliamentary sitting, under the specious pre text that it will be more likely to be satisfactorily settled than if introduced at an earlier period, and then quietly thrown over to another yaar. The Liberals will, of course, vote for tbis proposition, al though of little intrinsic value, for it is difficult to understand how the House itself, or the Ministers, could be more firmly bound than they bad been at the close of the session of 1849, when the Lords a second time rejected the just and salutary measure of relief which had been twice carried in the Commons, and sent up, on each occasion, with all the prestige attached to a measure carried by a large and overwhelming majority of the popular re presentatives. It is equally certain that the Tory bigots, through whose aid it is hoped that the first resolution will be affirmed, will vote against the second. But, the parties being thus arrayed against each other, it is anticipated that the Ministerial " hangers-on " and the :" waiters on PROVIDENCE" will be sufficient to turn the scale in each case, and that both may be carried, although by very different auxiliaries. Another object may also be obtained. Another demonstration by the city of London is especially deprecated by Ministers. The re-election of Baron ROTHSCHILD would call forth an expression of public feeling very distasteful to those through whose negli gence and apathy the question was permitted to re main in suspense for an entire year. A greater triumph could not be afforded to the lordly 4 ' Oh structives" than the absence of any Bill during the present session of the nature of those that had been twice rejected in 1848 and 1849. It would be a vir tual confession of defeat, an unequivocal and undig nified retreat from the position which the popular branch of the Legislature had assumed, but from which they had been driven, disgracefully driven, by the hereditary lawgivers. What an encouragement would it afford for future resistance ? How would it justify the taunts and sarcasms of the leaders of the Opposition in the House of Peers ? The alternative is one to be most sedulously avoided; and if the first resolution should, unfortunately, be affirmed, we earnestly hope that some Liberal Member will bring forward the Bill which, fur this year at least, bas been abandoned by Ministers. Thanks to the undaunted pertinacity of Mr. licAtE as an economist, the House of Commons is not likely to lose a recollection of that extravagance which has so egregiously overstocked the Royal Navy with admirals. Nor is the detriment resulting to the ma ritime service from the present lamentable system of promotion likely to be overlooked from its insignifi cance. It has been our painful duty again and again to comment upon the evils arising from this scheme of wholesale advancement, and to demonstrate its pernicious influence upon the character of our great national profession. In consequence of certain mis apprehensions, we have thereby not unfrequently fallen under the displeasure of those who have mistaken our arguments against thus squandering the public moneys., for arg umen t s i n f avour of a niggardly and parsimonious t o witness is retrenchment., not the What diminution weare t really extent of the Parliamentary munificence to theß m oya l Navy, but iti more judicious di s t r ib ut i on and itse any rational apportionment. At present th a t service hay sag-officers enough to furnish three to every one of her MAJESTY'S ships of war—so that the republican tricolour of France might not inappropriately be hoisted, as a triple pennant, in honour of the Admiral of the Blue, the Admiral of the White, and the Admiral of the Red, with which each vessel might be provided. Unhappily, no in clination whatever is evinced by the Adminis tration to diminish the amount of this maritime in cubus. The recommendation of the Committee cf 1849, that the number of admirals should, at the very lowest computation, be reduced from 150 to 100, re mains virtually unnoticed by the Administration. With a persistence that seems almost contumelious, the long list is preserved in a state of interminable amplitude. Immediately one flag-officer drops off another is created to make up the deficiency. Not a pause cccurs in the system of progression. The elevation is inevitable. It takes place no longer as the reward of merit, as the compensation LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUG UST 2, for long sarvices, or as the distinction won by great achievements. It is rather the reward of a sound constitution, the compensation for physical decay, the distinction won by a good liver and an excPlient digestion. Every post captain bides his time with a certainty that he has only to wait patiently for a certain period to attain his flag rank, and that before that period arrives not all the gallantry in the world, not all the victories he could gain by prowess or sagacity, could transform him into an admiral. His course is clearly marked before him. What he has to do in order to reach the desired dignity is, not to exercise his abilities in the service of his country, but simply to have an eye to the health of his own body, to keep out of the hands of the physician, to pay some attention to diet, and by all rational precautions to avoid an in troduction to the undertaker. If he can manage to rub on in this fashion, somehow or other, loitering along the promenades of some agreeable watering place, and occasionally running up to the metropolis to lounge in his club, or to stroll down to the Admiralty, he may count upon being ultimately gazetted among the list of flag-officers, according to the prescribed system of rotation. That the consequence of any such undis criminating plan of promotion should prove to be most pernicious, is assuredly anything but surprising. The vigorous conduct of the navy remains perpetually obstructed—its highest posts of command being yielded to old age rather than merit, and selection ceasing on the threshold of that very rank which most of all demands caution in its bestowal. Whoever may have observed our previous remarks upon this grievance will be sufficiently aware already that we are solicitous to inflict no injury or injustice whatever either upon the present flag-officers, or upon the immediate aspirants for the dignity of admirals in the Royal Navy of England. All the retrench ment we require is a retrenchment depending upon a graduated lapse of promotions. Instead of maintain ing the old blundering system intact, instead of making an immediate advance upon every individual demise, we would see the progress of promotion the rank of admiral retarded te one in every three deaths until such time as the cata logue of flag-officers should be reduced to within certain prescribed limitations. Unless some such effort at amelioration be contrived the service will continue subject to this calamitous detriment. Until an endeavour, moreover, of this character shall have oeen adventured upon, it behoves every conscientious economist, and, what is yet more, every one interested in the welfare of the maritime force of Great Britain to bring the subject again and again under the con sideration of Parliament. While the Liberal represen 'atives of the people are thus striving to force this long-wished for reform upon the acceptance of the Government and the Legislature, the Liberal journalists of England should persist in reviving it perpetually to the remembrance of the population. It is by this system of peaceful but pertinacious opposi tion, and by this system alone, that innovations like he proposed innovation in the management of the Navy, can be effected. For ourselves, as journalists live to the importance of the great national service, and conscious moreover, painfully conscious, of the ill-effects produced in that service by the existing scheme of administration, we have for a very considerable time advocated the reform above alluded to, a reform which we shall not cease to demand until it shall have been com pletely realised. Enormous advantages would of course accrue to the British Navy—advantages effectually securing its invigoration—if the rank of admiral, like that of captain, of commander, or of lieutenant, could be rendered in some degree dependent upon good ser sices and brilliant achievements. Nevertheless, while convinced of this, we are so earnestly solicitous that the improvement upon which we have been expatiating should be effected with as little delay as possible, that we set aside that branch of the question, for the time, through an anxiety that it might enhance the diffi culties standing in the way of innovation. When the number of admirals shall have been reasonably reduced, through the intervention of the Legislature, then, but not till then, will it be advisable to consider the principles that should' be acted upon in the man ner of their promotion. Of ultimately witnessing that diminution we are still sanguine, notwitheand ing the obstinacy evinced upon the matter by our ad ministrators, and our hopes in this regard are attri butable not less to our sense of the conspicuous nature of the grievance than to our confidence in the judgment of the Legislature. CASE OF THE BARON DE ROTHSCHILD. Mr. Hume this morning laid on the table of the House of Commons the following amendments, which he in tends to move to the Government resolutions on Monday next:— " That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild, M.P. for the city of London, having, as directed by the House, taken in the manner most binding on his conscience the oaths of allegiance, of supremacy and of abjuration, with the exception only of the words at the end of the oath of abjuration, on the true faith of a Christian,' cannot be liable to any other penalties thin those set forth in the'statutes relating thereto, to be imposed only by a court of law. " That the louse will, at the commencement of the next session of Parliament, take into its serious consi deration the oaths administered to Members of Parlia ment at the table of the House; and more particularly the cash of abjuration, with a view to meet the case now before the House; and to make all the oaths mere consistent with the charges that have taken place since the passing of the Act enacting the same." BARON ROTHSCHILD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUiV. SlR,—The Resolutiona proposed by the Government on the subject of the representation or London will un doubtedly be found in another part of your paper. It is unnecessary to expatiate on the feelings with which they will be viewed by the public. The question which now occurs, is whether it is not a mockery of God and of all religion, to 'concede the point that a man has legal right to be sworn on the Old Tes tament, and establish it by allowing him to take two so lemn oaths, and then to stop him in the presence of God and the holy angels, by demanding words of him incon sistent with the concession previously made in the sigl:t of God, and which it would be voted a blasphemy and a falsehood if he were then and there to utter. Put the &apposition, that the Member for London uttered the vurds "on the true faith of a Christian," efier being solemnly allowed to take two oaths and the e , ubstance of a third, in the character of a Jew. The extent of the dilemma will thou be seen, in which the House will place itself, if it does not pluck up spirit to assert its right of judging from beginning to end, of what is the substance of the Oath, and what the form. Nothing can be more certain than that the Legislature did not mean that the words "on the true frith of a Christian" should not be changeable, but the book sworn on might. When one, therefore, was declared to be changeable, the other was. The House of Commons has swallowed the body of the camel, and is sticking at the ears. There is still time for the Member for Loadon to take tie oath "on the true faith of a believer in the Old Tes timent;" which is what the House has virtually ad mitted bite to do, and the rest is solemn quibbling. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A LAYMAN. London, 2 August, 1850. ROYAL PATRIOTIC SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.— Several of the directors and friends of the London branch of the above society dined on Wednesday evening at the Free masons' Tavern, for the purpose of arranging plans for bring ing the destitute condition of the Highland peasantry and fishermen before the public, and promoting the industrial im provements of the society. Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D., presided, supported by Sir Evan Mackenzie, Bart., of Kil coy ; Captain C. Forbes, of Aslown ; Charles Mackenzie, Esq., of Scotsburn ; George Bain, Esq., Honorary Secretary Highland Society of London, &c. &c. The importance and efficiency of the society's operations were fully recognised, and the company pledged themselves to continued exertions in its behalf.

THE DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION RAILWAY. —This railway is opened as far as the Wellingto n I nn station about two miles south of Newry. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. - ' CITY, TWO - O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timate:'. at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were Wt. n for .'xport. and 4 000 American, 3 000 Egyptian, and 1,000 Sur.a on speculation. The market eios d firmly, and prices were fully supported.—The Share Market was quiet at rather easier quotation. The sales in the Produce Markets this week have been moderate, but they have not been on speculation but for the immediate wants of consumption. Sugar has rea liz d rather higher prices, Coffee has been quiet, and Rice less in request. Cotton, since the early part of the week, has commanded a brisk sale, responding to the activity that has arisen at Liverpool, and is per lb. dearer. The following is a statement just received from Messrs. M`Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, of Manchester, respect ing the trade of the clothing distriets:— " If last week, which was of a depressed and inactive character, with a feeling decidedly in favour of the pur chaser, be excepted, this market from the commence ment of the month to its close has been marked by can siderable animation, and has resulted in an extent of business hardly expected, considering not only the maintenance of the rates of the previous month, but the realization cf a farther and material advance upon both Cloth and Twist. 'rho de. mend, which with an exception or two has been very general, has left the market bare of goods and yarns with many manufacturers and spinners producing to contract. An advance, varying from sto 10 per cent. upon some numbers of Twist, which will amount to 15 per cent., has been gradually established, and can with out much difficulty be realite3. Buyers for the coun try trade have operxed very freely and extensively again during this month." The Banker's Magazine notices the calling in of the Dutch gold coin in the following terms:— "From the 22d Juce last, the Dutch 5 and 10 guilder gold pieces ceased to be a legal tender. The Bank of the Netherlands gave silver coin in exchange for them from the 17th to the 22d June. From that time up to the they were only to he taken in and after the 30th of July uuti ci e r s Culate, except as gold coin sub ject to the price of gold. It will be remembered that the law &authorising this measure, but which did not srecify the period at which it should take place, was adopted on the 17th of September last. Since 1819 the amount coined in five and ten guilder pieces has been equal to about fourteen and a half mil lions sterling. but it is believed that not more than two or three millions will now be presented for melting." The llamburgh mail with Friday's accounts gives the quotation for bills on London steady at 13 71. At Amsterdam on TiVedueeday Dutch Stock was quiet, at 57?- 5 for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. Peruvian Bonds are higher, and in demand. The EnglisliBtock Market is again rather flat, and the business done lies been extremely limited. Consols have been quoted 9Ga to 'i f for Transfer, and 964 to -l i r. for Account. The New Three. and-a-Quarter per Cent!. have been 99 to 4.. The intelligence from Denmark and Ger many still causes some apprehension that hostilities will be actively pursued. Lank Stock has been firm, at 211 to 212. Exchequer-bills have realised 675. to 705., and India Bond 89s. premium. The meeting of Mexican bondholders yesterday went off as well as could have been expected, seeing the disappointment felt at the fresh difficulties that have arisen. Colonel Facio, as we stated a day or two since, is not in a position to authorise the payment of the money in the Bank, and the only hope of ulti mate justice is from the mission of Mr. Falconet, for whose expenses about 6,5001. have been advanced by the 'committee and a private bondholder. The Foreign Investments have been very passive; also Mexican Bonds have been marked 291 a, and Peruvian 82 to Buenas Ayres stock has been 55i to 56k, and Brazilian Pa; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 574 to Railway Shares are not quits so good, but there have not been extensive tales made. Foreign shares are steady, except the Luxembourg, which have fallen from 2i to 11, owing to the decision by the Belgian Third Chamber that the company i 9 entitled to no compense don, and will forfei , , its " caution money" if it dues not complete the line.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHAN GE.-FRIDAY. The fresh arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week, coastwise, have been confined to 1,910 quar ters, almost wholly from Essex and Kent. To-day several of Monday's unsold samples were on offer, but the actual supply in the hands of the factors was com paratively mall. The attendance of both town and country buyers were limited, and the few sales of Wheat of home produce, were at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday, without effecting a clearance. Up wards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand. That grain met a very inactive'inquiry, and in some instances the quotations were almost nominal. No English Barley at market, but the supply of foreign was on the increase. Malting qualities ruled steady, at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little doing. The show of Malt was somewhat large. All kinds were a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in value. Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward, but the supply of foreign exceeded 34,000 quarters. (food dry qualities sold at previous quotations, but damp parcels were lower to purchase. Beaus, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. English •• •• •• Scotch— •• Irish ——••.- Foreign •• •• Wheat Barley. Oats. Malt. Flour. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

The attendance of buyers being tolerably numerous, the primest Scots, Devons, and Herefords, &c., moved off steadily, at fully Monday's prices. In all other breeds very little business was transacted, at barely late rates. The numbers of Sheep being considerably in excess of those exhibited on this day se'nnight, the Mutton trade ruled extremely inac tive, and the late advance in the quotations was with difficulty supported. Prime small Lambs were scarce, and quite as dear. Otherwise the Lamb trade was heavy. For Calves, the supply of which was good, the inquiry was far from active, but we have no decline to notice in pries. Pigs very dull.

BARON ROTHSCHILD. I IMr. lIUME gave 'notice that he would move, as en amendment to the resolution proposed by the Attorney- General with respect to the admission of Baron Roths child to a seat in the House of Commons, "That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild, M.P. for the City of London, having, as directed by the Howe, taken in the manner most binding on his conscience, the oaths of allegiance, of supremacy, and of abjuration, with the ex ception only of the words at the end of the oath of ab juration, ' on the true faith of a Christian,' cannot be liable to any other penalties than those :et forth in the statutes relating thereto, to be imposed only by a court of law; and that the Houae will at the commencement cf the next session of Parliament, take into its serious consideration the oaths administered to Members of Parliament at the table of the House, and more particularly the oath of abjuration, with a view to meet the case now before the House, and to make all the oaths more consistent with the changes which have taken place since the passing of the Acts enacting the same." CRIME AND OUTRAGE ACT (IRELAND) CON TINUANCE BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said, that as the Bill in volved forfeitures and penalties, it should have originated in the House of Commons, and not in the Lords, and as the present Bill was first introduced in the Lords it ought to be rejected. The SPEAKER was of opinion that the Bill should be rdeeted, and another measure brought in. Lord J. RUSSELL thought after what had fallen from the Speaker it would not be advisable to proceed with this Bill. The Bill was tiqen laid aside by order of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL then asked for leave to bring in a similar Bill. Mr. HUME said he had come down to the House prepared to vote against the measure, and he thought tho Government ought to state the grounds on which they proposed to extend the provisions of the Bill to Ireland for a further period. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he had no objection to state the reasons which induced the Government to pro pose the continuance of the Act. It was a gratifying circumstance that be was not able to point, as was done when the original Bill was introduced, to a long list of crimes and outrages.—(Hear.) On the contrary, the condition of Ireland as regarded crimes and outrages had greatly improved since the Act was passed.—(Hear.) Still there were circumstances which made it necessary that they should not deprive Ireland of the benefits of the measure. The two objections which had been urged to the measure were, that it wss of a coercive character, and would not answer the object for which it was intro duced. Now neither of those prophecies had been ful filled; on the contrary, it had not proved to be a severe measure of coercion to any party except evil doers, while it had been completely efficient in checking crimes and outrages.—(Hear.) The judges had at the last as sizes alluded in gratifying terms to the pre sent tranquillity cf Leland, and there could be no doubt that a great part of that tranquillity was owing to the operations of this measure.—(Hear.) It would be an act or great indiscretion to allow arms to hill into the hands of improper persons, and permit the peace and general tranquillity which prevailed to be dis turbed by the commission of fresh crimes. If there was anything to complain of it was that the provisions of the Bill had been administered temperately and firmly, and, he believed, wisely; and he would say again that it would be unwise on the part of the House to risk the existing tranquillity, by removing from the Lord Lieutenant those powers which he thought it neces sary to be entrusted with, and through the continuance of which the tranquillity of the country might be placed on a more permanent basis.—(Hear.) The night Hon. Gontleman concluded With a motion for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject. Colonel DUNNE said he would not Oppose the Bill if the Government considered it necessary for the safety of Ireland, but he thought the period for its continuance should be as limited as was c3nsistent with the public safety. Mi. S. CRAWFORD felt himself under the necessity of opposing the re-introduction of the Bill, which it would be recollected he opposed on a former occa sion as being a measure of coercion that ought not to be placed over the people of Ireland. The extermi nations and clearances which had taken place in that country were the chief cause of the outrages and crimes committed by the people, and until the present system of tenant right was placed on a better footing much of the existing abuses would be ,continued. The Hon. Gentleman alluded to the letters of " G. S. 0." in the Times, for the purpose of showing the wretched condition of the peasantry (many of whom he found lying in ditches under the straw and rubbish of their demolished houses), and that a very large amount of their misery was occasioned by the wanton and unfeeling acts oflandowners. Government ought to take some steps to put down the evictions which are constantly occuring in Ireland before they called upon the House to pass a Crime and Out rage Bill, at a time when the country was perfectly tranquil. It was far better to remove the cause of crime than to enact laws for its punishment. One of the most exciting causes was the absence of a tenant right recognized by the law, and he must decline to support any Bill of this nature till the landlord and tenant question had been satisfactorily set at rest. Tho late Sir Robert Peel, when he attempted to pass a Bill of a similar character to this, was told by .t,Sie Noble Lord at the head of 'the present Government that coercion Bills should hot be sent to Ireland unaccom panied by treasures of relief, and since that declaration carried the Noble Lord into power, he insisted upon his now acting upon it. He might, however, be told that already Government had dune all they could to improve the condition of Ireland, and perhaps he would be re minded of the Encumbered Estates Act, but though the improvement of Ireland aas the obji.ct of that Act, it had served to promote evictions, and increase the risiseries of the people. Fifteen years ago the House recognized the right of Irish tenants to something in the shape of protection against his landlord, and repeated, though futile, had been the attempts since then to establish the right by legislative enactment. But, in the mean time, Arms Acts and Coercion Bills had been carried without end. The time had, however, arrived when a stop must be put to this mode of proceeding; and now that the hopes of the Irish tenantry had been excited by the promises of her Majesty's Government, he warned them that the passing of nit§ Bill in the place of some remedial measure would be productive of end less discontent and insurmountable difficulties. But, independently of all this, there was no necessity ter this Bill; the country was tranquil, and comparatively free from extensive crime, why then persist in passing a bill of coercion? The other day when it was proposed to renew the Alien Act, the House of Lords refused the motion; there wns no necessity for it, they said, but if, hereafter, any occasion for it should arise, then would be the time to ask for its renewal. Now, why could not the same course be adopted with reference to this Bill? He - con cluded by moving the following amendment:—That the distressed people of Ireland have borne unexampled suf ferings, produced by famine, and by evictions from the soil, with praiseworthy submission to the laws; and it is the opinion of this House, that it is not just to renew and continue measures of coercion subversive of the consti tutional right; of the Irish people as British subjects, whilst the redress of acknowledged grievances connected with the laws which regulate the relations of landlord anti tenant recommended to the consideration of Parlia ment in her Majesty's Speech, has been neglected or postponed. Mr. REYNOLDS seconded the amendment. The Right Hon. Baronet (Sir W. Somerville) had on this occasion adopted a different course to that of his prede cessor in office when asking permission to suspend the constitution of Ireland, and to curtail the liberties of the Irish people. The habit on former occasions was to relate a long list of crime and outrage; but the habit of the present Secretary f or I re l and was to ask permission to reenact the Act of the 20th December, 1847, and in doing so he said ho was free to admit he could give no li s t o f cr i me and outrage. There were indications of such things, the Right Honourable Gentleman said, but he had not condescended to favour the house with any translation of the word in dication. He (Mr. R e y no ld s ) denied that there was any political disturbance i n D u bli n, or any agie ten ion n Ireland at present. All agitation in Ireland was at ae end; and because those pleasing re eults had followed the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir W. Somerville) came into that House, with about forty Members present, and demanded a suspension of the constitution of Ireland for four years, and the only excuse he gave was that Lord Clarendon bad not abused the provisions cf that Act. He (Mr. Reynold s ) wou l d ask her Majesty's Government if they had k ept any o f t h e ro y a l promises they had made to the people of Ireland? Echo aueevered " No."— (Laughter.) That might be an echo in the Paddy Blake sense—(Renewed laughter) —but it was true, nevertheless. He submitted that this Bill was an insult to the people of Ire lend, whom the Queen had declared were loyal and a tached to her ; and the reward they were to get for th4t loyalty and attachment was, the suspension of the constitution, which suspension would hand them over to the tenter mercies of whoever repiesent the Queen in Ireland. He (Mr. Rey nolds) was nut prepared to place liberties of the ple of Ireland in the hands of Lord Clarendon or any body else. A mai, holding the office of Lord-Lieutnant was in :de of flesh arid blood, and, like ether men, he might abuse the powers which the law entrusted to him—(Cri-s of " Hear, hcae')—and, therefore, the name of Lord Clarendon ought not to have been introduced in connexion with this question. - Ile (Mr. Reynolds) asked in the name of common justice if COLONIAL.
