PRICE SEVENPENCi: ROYAL ACADEMY, SOMERSET-PLACE. - LAST WEEK. J\ CE is hereby given, that the Eilii cLo, BiTioN of the ROYAL ADADEMY will finally sn, S I T NEXT, the 13th Instant, at Seren uc k.precisely. qtatsaton (erer y day from Eight o'Cloqk till Seven)OneShil I i ng. PARLIAMENT, praying that the House would not agree to any Bill sanctioning the increased issue of these Notk , Mr. MIME said he thought the B a nk h a d th e means of in creasing the difficulty of fbrging their Notes, 4nd he thought hey were highly-f culpable for having hitherto neglected to avail themselves of those means. was on account of the distinctive character of the outrages that he called upon the House for additional poWers.. It was impossible.not to see, from the character of them, that they were not the result of sudden ebullition in ihe individuals com mitting them, but that they proceeded frem deliberate design. Robbery, conflagration, and murder followed upon the neglect to obey some notice not to pay rent, tithes, or taxes. Another distinctive character was, that certain punishment was inflicted upon any one who was the means of bringing an offender to justice. It was the lamentable state of that countrysthat the law was put in execution only at the expence of the indivi duals who contributed to it. It frequently happened that the obnoxious witness or . prosecutor were sent to the nearest gaol for their own security, and the papers before the House con, tained the recital of an - instance in which the house of an in dividual was attached," in pursuance of a conspiracy to take his life, the day after he had been sent within the walls of a gaol for safety. Every attempt to check the nightly meetings, without the operation of this Act, would be ineffectual. This Act arrested the offender at his door, and in that respect Was a measure of Mercy, for it prevented the commission of crime. He called upon the House to give relief to those who required relief, and punishment to those who deserved it. The Noble Lord at the head of the Irish Government had distinctly stated his opinion, th a t there were those who were still, sworn in anticipation of this law being out of force. Re knew that individual character, however high, was no giound of confidence for high and unusual powers. But the necessity being admitted, and Parliament having, alfeady confided cer tain powers - in an individual, the manner in which he had dis charged his trust - must be a ground of confidence. A Noble Lord had on d former occasion stated that that Nobleman to whom he had just alluded, had a disposition to arrogate to him self arbitrary powerS, and therefore no security was to be placed in him. Against such a charge, it was scarcely possible to de fend any Government ; but there were those on- the other side of the House who could bear teithnony to - the public character of that Nobleman, and that confidence was due to him.—(Hear, hear, hear I)—If, therefore, his not having abused the confi dence reposed in him was any groundfor,a further extension of it, he called upon the House to arm him; with the same powers again. He could not conceive that Parliament would restrict to a short period a power which, when similar dangers existed, was asked for the purpose of maturing plans, which had been commenced under the first grant of that power. The Right. Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving, that the Speaker leave the Chair. t, from HOUSE OF LORDS, MoND.ty, JULY 8. . - • ThiS morning their Lordships met precisely at twelve o'clock, when Appeals Were proceeded with.—The Marquis of HERTFORD took the usual oaths on his succeeding to the title, and 'afterwards his seat. MESSAGES FROM THE COMMONS.. Mr. DUNDAS ' Mr. BROGDEN, Sir J. GR AHA M, and others, brought up the Scotch Register-offices Regulation Bill, the Small Country Notes Circulation Bill, the Prisons (Ireland) Amendment Bill, the New Churches Building Act Amend ment Bill, and the Westmoreland County Rates Bill; all which Bills were afterwards read a first time: h Cum' Mr. PEIRSE defentidli;iondtkct of the Bank. IL begged to ask -what motive they could possibly have to wish for the increase of forgeries upon them ? All the specimens of notes `submitted for their consideration were as easily imitated as the Bank-noteS. Catalogue One Shilling. R. HOWARD, R.A. Sec. Exhibitor auested to send for their Works on Tues. d aY t s he 16th, or e sd, 17th. • After a few words from Mr. BENNET, and from Mr. Hu itE in explanation,' Mr. LOCKHART said, he thought inspectors should be stationed in different parts of the country, in order to afford easy reference. This would, he thought, tend much to deter persons from uttering forged notes. Mr. 11. GURNEY did'not think the suggestion of the last Speaker could be carried into any beneficial effect. Mr. PEIRSE stated, that there was only one prosecution for forgery on the Bank of England pending at present. The forgeries used to be principally on the One and Two Pound' Notes, and now that they were not issued, the prosecutions were of course greatly diminished. Mr. RICARDO thought, that if the plan of the lion. Mem ber for Oxford, of having Inspectors from the Bank of Eng landin different parts of the City of London, were adopted, the evil would be greatly alleviated. Mr. HART DAVIS said, that such Inspectors could not be wanted in the country, since, in a million of Bank of Eng land notes lately come from the country, there was not a single forgery. After a few words from Mr. J ATTWOOD the Petition was ordered to be printed. ARMY CONTRACTS. • Commissariat Department, Treasury Chambers, J une 26, 1822.

A Petition was pregented from several Merchants•of Hull, praying' for the total repeal of .the Salt Tax.—Ordered to lie on the table. The Loan Bill went through a Committee.—Report to morrow. The " Charge of Pensions" Bill went through a Committee. 'Report to-morrow.---The same course was taken on the Five per Cents. Repayment Bill.

The Report of the Committee to consider the Irish Distress - was brought up, after a few words from Mr. BERNAL and Mr. GOULBURN. Mr. S. WORTLEY could not omit the present opportunity of condemning the practice of seeking forced benevolence for the aid of the suffering Irish by going from house to house.— (Hear, hear, hear!) —It would be better for Government to ap ply at once to Parliament for a sufficient sum. • Mr. CALCRAFT concurred in the opinion of the last Mr. BENNET expressed himself to the same effect. He had himself thought it right to refuse attending to the applica tion of the Churchwardens of his own parish when they applied to him for his 'subscription. He would sub‘scribe in his owil" way, and as he thought proper. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed that it would be better to take a Vote of Credit to meet any exi. gency which might occur during the recess. Mr. DAWSON thought the practice of collecting from door to door was highly objectionable, though he was in general friendly to the invitation of private liberality. General GASCOYNE feared the cause of the present dis tress was a permanent one. If a Vote of Credit were to be called for, he thought an inquiry into the cause should be set on foot, with a view of affording, if possible, permanent relief. The Report was then read and agreed to. SALT TAX. -- - - Mr. WILLIAMS (of Lincoln) presented a Petition from certain Manufacturers of Salt in Cheshire, praying for the total repeal of the Salt Tax.—Ordered to lie on the table. SMUGGLING. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from four indivi duals who were taken by the Revenue cutter, the Scourge. They were then conveyed by the Captain of the Revenue cutter before a Juitice of the Peace in the County of Devon, and were committed to prison on the charge of having com mitted an offence against the Revenue Laws. When the period of trial came, the informer did not come forward, and these individuals naturally expected that they s h ou ld b e imme diately discharged; but no, they were sent on board the tender, and condemned to the punishment or working five years on board this ship. Now, according to the nth of Geo. 111. chap. 87, sec. 6, every individual charged with a smuggling offence, had the option of confessing his guilt or submitting to a trial, vwhich was not given to these individuals ; but they were at once visited with the punishment of guilt. The Peta tioners had'applied to the Court of King's Bench for the writ of Habeas Corpses, but were refused. Mr. LUSHINGTON understood that it was only after con viction that persons in such circumstances as the petitioners had the option of going on board King's ships. 'Mr. HOBHOUSE contended that conviction was not neces sary, as the party had the option previously. Mr. LUSHINGTON said that this appeared, an extraor dinary case, and, in his opinion, the officers must have acted under a misapprehension of their duty. After a few words from Sir GEORGE CLERK and Mr. BRIGHT, the petition was brought up, and ordered to be read. On the motion that it do lie on th e t a bl e , 'sir. BERNAL spoke briefly against the principle of the ex isting law ; as did also Mr. WARRE, who reprobated its ex treme severity. - IVii.IIII66GHAIII followed on the same side and said that the law had lurked unknown on th e St a t u t e Book till the pre sent application was made to the House. The Honourable and Learned Member then adverted to the particular provisions o f the law, and maintained that th e punishment was most enor mous for the offence in question. The Act had passed in a late period of the Sessions (the 10th of July), when but few Members were present, and he hoped his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hobhouse) would bring in a shOrt Bill to amend it, even at this period, advanced as it was. ' Mr. LUSHINGTON commented briefly on some of the allegations of the Petition, and it was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HOBHOUSE expressed his hope that some lion. Mem ber more competent than himself would undertake the task of bringing in a Bill to amend the present 'law. The Petition was then ordered to he printed. FORGERY OF BANK NOTES. Mr. BENNET presented a Petition from an individual named James Pergusson, complaining that the Bank (110 not exert themselves to prevent the Forgery of their gotes, and RETAIL OF BEER BILL. Mr. F. BUXTON wished to know from his Honourable and • Learned Frfend (Mr. Brougham) when he intended t o b r i ng forward a discussion on thesPublicans' Licensing Bill ? ' 'Mr. BROUGHAM said'that the Bill before the House, the Retail of Beer Bill, had no connection with the licensing of public houses.' li e th oug ht th a t th ere cou ld b e no objection to the principle of the Bill, and that whatever discussion might take place would take place in the Committee. Mr. BUXTON said he would oppose the Bill in every shape, both in principle and in detail. Mr. BROUGHAM said that his wish was to have a full dis cussion upon the Bill. There was no measure which stood upon grounds more firm or more irrefragable. He would take an opportunity to fix a day for the discussion. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT. The Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee on this Act having be e n rea d, Mr. GOULBI_TRN said, that the House was too well aware of the circumstances under which the application of the Insur rection 'Acts to Ireland had originated to need that he should recapitulate, thent. In making this application for the conti nuance of it, he should not attempt to offer any arguments to induce the' House to look at it with a more favourable eye than it had hitherto been' regarded with. For though he had voted for. that Act; he assured the House that no lion. Member who had most strenuously opposed it was more senoible than he was of the general objections to it. •It would have been most gratifying to his feelings, and to those of the Noble Lord at the head of 'the Government of Ireland, could they have thought it possible to dispense with it on the present occasion,. for they felt that it was not a measure of that nature, which ought .to characterise the acts of a free Government, and that it could only be justifiable in a case where all milder means. would not avail. He thoUght he should be sure of the con currence of the House, if be could satisfy them that the state of Ireland was such as to render the resort to ex traordinary measures necessary, the ordinary laws being at present inadequate, and that this particular law was applicable. If he were able to do this, he thought he should remove all objection from the minds of those who adniitted that extraordinary times demanded extraordinary measures. So short a period had elapsed since Parliament had granted this Act, that it was unnecessary for him to go into a detail of the history of Ireland for the last eight or nine months. It was merely necessary for him to recall to the re collection of' the House the state of things which then existed, and comparing that with the present moment, deduce the ne cessity he was anxious to establish. He requested the House to remember that at that period there was a general system of insubordination in the country, existing to a greater extent in some districts than in others, but infecting more or less almost every one. The House would remember th a t this system had been in progressive operation for six or seven months, up to the period of. the meeting of Parliament, when open insurrection was manifested with open warfare against the King's troops.— This rebellion and insurrection had an evident, distinctive, and alarming Character-s-that of being directed against the rights of property and the administration of the law, and principally and to an alarining extent infecting the lower orders. It was besideS carried on by secret association, which rendered it.dif ficult to fathoni the source Of the danger ; and its mode of ope ration was to nxtort oaths for the nonpayment of tithes, taxes, and rent. The result of the precdneert at nightly meetings, was a general attack upcin the property of the loyal and peaceable. The more' particular object of. ahe reDellinn was, to obtain arms, and to make proselytes, that the actors in it might be enabled to extend to other partS of the country their destructive system. He should not enter into a detail of the atrocious outrages perpetrated under this system, as , they must be present to the minds of all connected with Ireland ; at the same time that he abstained from principle, in the Situ.; ation in which he stood with regard to the House, from making any appeal to the passions, to assist him, towards the object of his address. He would merely observe, that the effect of all the outrages, and of the whole system, was to create a power in the country stronger than the law. -It might be said that it was the duty of the Irish Government to apply to Parliament f or strong powers at the earliest moment these machinations came to its knowledge. But he' was prepared to contend, that the course pursued by the, Government of Ireland had been per fectly consistent with justice and discretion. In his opinion, it was the duty of a Government to do its utmost to create and establish habits of obedience und,reverence to the laws ; and if a Government were to resort at the outset of a manifesta tion of a lawless disposition to unconstitutional severe mea sures, without tying the strength of the ordinary law's; it would go far to uproot that respect for the laws, upon' which the stability of a Government in a great Measure depended. In addition to what took place at the Assizes, the Government had resorted to the use of Special Conunissions, through whose exertions 'many offenders were brought to trial. In the cowl ties where outrage most prevailed, the Special Police, who had been found so ineffectual, were called into action, and the military were increased one hail'. But all these precautions produced no diminution of the evil, and at the opening of •Parliament, the plot had reached its con sume and was on the eve of explosion. Upon the view of this state of things it was that Parliament was induced to grant to' the Irish Go vernment those extraordinary . powers, of which the Insurrec tion Act was only a part. It was gratifying for him to say, that there was no longer the same extent of evil which then prevailed. There was in the principal disturbed districts a diminution of outrage. There was also, he hoped, some reform in the spirit of the people. There was now, which did not then then exist, a feeling Of kindness towards this ' country, arising from her exertiona to relieve their distresses, which he hoped to see grow into a feeling of love for the Go vernment,—(Hear, hear, hear !)—But he could not avoid impressing• upon them that there was at least enough re maining to call upon them to hesitate hefore they deprived the Executive of the means of checking the existing evils, or of preventing the recurrence of the past. It was impossible. for any one to have read the - dispatches of the Noble Lorll at the head of the Irish Government, without seeing that there was a regular system of outrage—that outrages were exceedingly numerous, and that they were of a character most alarming. And althoughahese dispatches did not come down to the latest moment, he wished it were in his :power to state that the last accounts did not present to the view outrages exactly simi lar. The dispatches came doWn to the end of May, and to shew that the system continued in vigorous operation beyond that pe riod, he need only state the extent to which it was in action du ring the following ten days. During that short space of time, in one County alone there were seven houses' burned; nine houSes attacked by armed bands; and one subjected to nightly visita tion. It was not, however, upon the' number of the outrages that he applied to Parliament for extraordinary measures. It Sir R. WILSON gave fill credit to the Right Hon. Gentle ', man for the conciliatory tone in which he had treated this sub ject, which he hoped, for the benefit of Irish, he would preserve in all his communications with the Irish Government. H e also commended th e f a i r an d candid statements he had made to the House, although it was not in his power upon the strength of them to agree to his motion with regard to the Insurrection Bill. He opposed it, as not calculated to obtain that tranquil-' lity spoken of by the Right Hon. Gentleman ; .but, on the con trary, to remove it to a greater distance. lie knew that it was right, in case Of a fire, to take immediate steps to extinguish it ; but he thought some attention was to be given to the means of preventing -its recurrence.- He begged for himself to say, that he had none of that distrust of the Noble Lord at the head of the Irish Government spoken of by the Right Ho nourable Secretary. He thought him a competent and ami able individual. But they were to b ear i n m i n d th a t t h e inquiry into the state of that unhappy country had never yet been entered into. The Right Honourable. Gentleman, however, now came down to the House to demand a continu ance of the tremendous enactments of this Bill. It was true that he gave them np the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act ; but that was nothing when they considered that it never wits required at' all, and was only demanded in the lust of power, and granted in the wantonness of confidence. His ob jection went to the principle of the Bill, which, he thought, was a subversion of the rights of Irishmen, and a violation of that Constitution which was the only safeguard of their liberty and their lives. He knew, however, that brute force was con sidered the only via meditatrir of governing in Ireland. He remembered when he was in Ireland, in former times, seeing a man so flogged, from the nape of his neck to the calves of his legs, for being only suspected of being an United Irishman, as to horrify humanity. He should not .have possessed the feel- ings of a man had he hot interfered on that occasion, and his only answer was, that he an Englishman knew not how to go vern Irishmen, that the cat o' pine tails or the halter wee: the only instruments of punishment to treat them with. It had'al ways been the practice of his Majesty's Government to pass coercive measures for Ireland, under promise of inquiry, and never to perforni them. This had been the case since year 1798 to the present time. The time was come when Ireland must be governed as if its people were freemen, instead of conquered vassals. Though he could not ex:- pect 'that any successful resistance to the measures of the Government would be made by the Irish in a servile war (and he was 'certainly the last man . to wish it), vet he would advise the Right Hon. Gentleman and his etaeigues not to . treat with too much contempt, the complaints of the suf . ; ferers. He warned them against .taking a course which would call forth the energies of despair, and wished them to bear in mind what a Nobleman had told Charles 1., namely, that the way to curd rebellion was to remove _the causes of it. It was cessary that healing measures should be adopted With respect to Ireland. The'firit remedy to be 'applied was a termination of -those cittil and religious distinctions which had so long been kept in that country, and which had proved a constant sourm of exasperation. He knew it - would be said that the English House of CoMMons bad done its duty an this subject, and that the obstacle was to be found elsewhere, , But he could not help looking . on that portion of the Ministry who favoured Catholic Emancipation, as being the real impediments in the day of the measure. If they had refused to remain in the Go- Yernment when it failed, could any man believe that an Anti- Catholic Administration couid have been formed? The diffi culties which had formerly stood iii the way were no more. • It was known what were the sentiments of his present Majesty on this subject, and there never was a time when a King of Eng land could be more reasonably expected to say as Joseph 11. I did, " Thank GOl2l my people are no longer divided by religious differences." The next remedy he - regarded as a - sine qua non. It would apply to that which had occasioned all the distur bances and rabelliona in Ireland. 'The Howe would easily an ticipate that-lie meant -the abolition of tithes, and the esta blishment of a nev'tregulatien of the revenuer of the Church. He regretted that he had been absent when his Hon. Friend, the Member for Montrose, took up that subject: He calitend ed that it was monstrous to argue that church property was so sacred in its character, that it could not be regulated when this was desirable foi the well heing of the State. He shewed that Parliament had twice applied for a new arrange= ment of church property in the time of Henry IV. They had done the same in the reign of Henry V., and the property of the church was actually taken by the Crown in the tithe of Henry VIII.— EH e ar !) Gentlemen might cheer of the name of Henry VIII., but whatever they might think of his seizure of the church property, he had never found those who held any . share of the 300,0001. bestoWed by him it lay imprdpriations, disposed to shew that they considered that an act of sacrilege, by giving up their einefluments. In mocle,fn times, he contend ed, measures had been propbsed in Parliament to make a new regulation in matters regarding the property of the church.— hat was the origin of tithes ? He would not now go back to the Jewish, Theocracy to inquire into their character : brit the House was aware that tithes had been granted to the House of Levi because they Were priests and guardians of the Ark, and had'not shared in those l a nd s w hi c h h a d b een di vided among the other tribes of Israel. To conic to a later period, Who would pretend that tithes had been known during the first four hundred years of the existence of the Christian Church ? It was not till the year 800 that they were intro- ' diced: They were then introduce' by crime.- • The King of Murcia having committed a treacherous murder, obliged the. people to pay tithes to the church. He also went to Rome to expiate his offence by Offering a tribute of a penny exacted from every householder. He shewed that the circum s t a n ces under which tithes had been formerly claimed were very different from those under which_ they were now levied, as many onerous duties then fell on those who received them, from which they were now relieved. The Bishops now had princely fortunes. The four Archbishops and eighteen Bishops now in Ireland received not less,, according to returns, which he believed to be authentic, than 188,0001, without reckoning on lease's of tithes and sources 'Of in crease, which had enabled one Bishop t o di e wor th 350 , 0001 . hadwho little property when he went to Ireland. Now with out taking from the present incumbents the income they at pre sent enjoyed, he held it to be the duty of Parliament not to ' commit an act 'of spoliation, but to make some arrangement which would be more agreeable to the people, and place the security of the country on the rock of peace. He set forth the • importance of conciliating the people of Ireland. For the . Protestant SchOol they, at present granted the sum of 18;71101. 'For the lrish Catholic School they.'give 9,6001. He did not quarrel with the disparity between •tne' sums, ',but he remarked on the vote to the Kildare ASsodiation, 'Which went to defeat the object, of the. grant he had just tnentioned.- thought we were bound to respect the privileges of the Ca tholica. If they objected to the Bible in English being intro duced fbr the instruction of Catholic Youth, no Constraint ought 10 be put on them in this particular. In every iespect attention . ought to be paid to the wishes and habits of thinking of the Irish. He was anxious that justice should be done to a brave and, ge nerous nation, who not fail to repay their benefactors with loyalty and gratitude. After some further reinarkS, he concluded by moving as an amendment—" That it be an in-' struction to the Committee to investigate the causes of the pre sent disturbed state of Ireland, with a view to adopt such mea sured as were calculated to restore and preserve tranquillity in Ireland, and render unnecessary those measures of extraordi nary severity, which were alike incompatiblewith the spirit and practice of the British Constitution." Mr. LUCIUS CONCANNON L orged the immedi a t e necess i t y of adopting some measures calculated to heal the wounds of his native country ; and warmly expressed the indignation which he felt at seeing his Majesty's Ministers allow month after month to elapse, and calamity after calamity to occur, without-any en deavour on their part to arrest the progress of the ev%l.. • . Col. DAVIE'S was of opinion that an enquiry into the State of Ireland ought to be instituted ; but as he could not oppose the motion, he hoped he might be allowed to explain the con siderations w hich regu l ate d h is vote on th i s occasion. hie -was far from app r o v i ng th e syst e m on Which the . preseni Goern ment had acted; yet lie thought this no reason why the peace ably disposed people of Ireland When be left exposed t o the assassin's midnight dagger. When the Government de manded such powers they no* called for`at the comtnence ment of theSeasion, they held out a prothise that an inquiry Should be set on foot.. He now desired to ask. Why than in= quiry had not taken place ? In failing to institute one they had been remiss. He then noticed the redundant . 'population found in Ireland, and the demoralization consequent thereon,. and suggested, as a means of correcting it, the reformation of the election system. Mr. S. RICE s a w no grounds for hoping that the'present' disturbances could be successfully met without the aid of. the Insurrection Act. The question had been introduced in the most favourable. manner by the plain, intelligible, and tandid Statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Against that he had nothing to say ; but in assenting to the measure now before the House, he had a duty to perform which he felt to be more pain ful than that which had devolved upon him when. he subject was last before the House; for then, though he would not say that a pledge had been given by the Noble Marquis that in quiry should take place, yet he might assert that the impression created both in that House and out of doors; was that an in quiry would take plaie with a view of getting at the root of the evil. One boon had been given to Ireland in the course of the present Session, by the repeal of the Window' Tax, but he called on the Right. Honourable. Gentleman to name any ether' permanent benefit that had been conferred on Ireland. The benevolence of the House had voted a sum to relieve present distress, but this was only temporary good, and would it be • contended that the present Bill could be viewed, as a remedy to the evil it was intended to meet ? thought no Gentle man in that House would venture to assert that such was its character. The Police Bill, modified as "it now was; he thought would be beneficial, but a mere measure of police, and an inefficient measure with respect to tithes, were not what Ireland had to expect from the new Government—Were not enough to tranquillize the countfy. When the measure was brought forward before, they passed it in the hope that reme dial measures were in contemplation, but the jejune and meagre grounds on which it was now proposed that it should pass, were such, that he was afraid similar grouhds might be urged for its passing at a l mos t an y ti me , He found the dispatches of 1816, on which similar steps were taken, to be, very different douse. from those which were no w l a id b e f ore th e - lle, for one, objected to anonymous information being For his own part, as a -Magistrate, he had always been anxi our to take upon himself hny responsibility that might attach to the information he forwarded, or the tecome mendations which he thought it big duty to offer. lie oh= jected to, that part of the present Bill which went to deprive Ireland of trial by Jury. Gon forbid that he should dtioy the Chvernrre it those powers which were necessary Sc meet an extraordinary emergency by interposing a constitu tional principle, but he maintained that in this instance no case had been made out to prove that the step proposed to be taken was necessary.. The JurieS had not failed in their duty. At Lirrierick they, had had the experience of two Special Com missions,. and he appealed to the Right Honourable Gentle: man opposite, the Attorney-General for Ireland, if the Juries there, under circumstances of alarm, which might have ope.' rated not merely oh weak minds, but on men of constancy and courage; bad not discharged their . duty with the most um.' daunted resolution ? Ile was happy to receive the Right Ho. nourable Gentleman's assent, and under such, circumstances he would ask by what right could they deprive Ireland of the ail.: vantages,of trial by jury ? The evils no* complained of in Ire land were not peculiar to the present times. They grew out of the system which had been acted u, on for the last 40, 50, or 60 years. They would find that the outrages committed were not new, ,but that they were similar to thoSe which had occurred from 1640 to 1650. He repeated, that little or nothing had been - done in the present SeesiOns for the permanent improvement of Ireland. One motion brought forward on the state of Ireland had been .objected to on the ground that it was premature, and that the House ought to wait till they saw what - Ministers proposed to do. They had on that account not pressed the motion to a diVision -they had waited to see what Ministers would do; and they now saw that they had done nothing. The motion on the sub ject of the tithes had been met with the previous qUestion.. He could tell Ministers that, if they expected fifty InStirrection Acts would remedy the evils complained of, they deceived themselves. He begged to call,the attention of the House td what Lord Bacon had said on the subject of Ireland: There were four points which he had described its necessary fo be to led to, in order to rest* Ireland to obedience, and he called on the House to observe what these. four points were.= The first was "to extinguish the relics of the late war." The second, " to attempt the recovery of the hearts of the people." • He would ask if that had been done by any of the Administrations that had ruled Ireland since the Union? He had much respect and regard for many who had formed part of those'Administrations, but he must say that sc a r ce ly a single measure had been 'adopt.: ed which seemed to have for its object the recovery of the hearts of the people. The third point to be attended to, accord ing to Lord Bacon, was " to remove the root 'of the past and the occasion of mew troubles." He would ask if anrof the remedial, or nominally-remedial measures which had been resorted to, were calculated to root out the cause of the troubles which had occurred ? The fourth point, which went to the encourag i ng o f 'plantations and buildings, was less applicable to existing cir cumstances, but it was analogous to encourage the manufac= tures and give a new impulse to the industry of Ireland, and in this view_ it was not inapplicable to the present time. He then went over the means suggested by Lord Bacon f'ir the recovery of the hearts o 1 the people. These were the granting of religious liberty, including toleration. Justice, protection, and the eqiial administration of the law, and obligation and re ward. Were any of these given by the Insurrection Act? cording to these ideas they would be justified in calling for mea sures in favour of Ireland very different from any that had yet been conceded. He did not mean to say that justice was un: fairly or partially adriainistered, but the elpence attendant on legal proceedings in Ireland amounted in many cases to a de nial of justice ; and the want of a legal remedy caused many . of those acts of violence which occurred. He knew a case ' where a person dying left another 151. or 201: The executor of the will got the property into his possesSion: The legatee applied to the Assistant Barrister of the lower Court to recover it. He stated that he had no jurisdiction in cases of legacy.— The other then got a promise from the executor, and after wards- on this promise again called for the, interferehee ;of the Assistant Barrister. He, however, still d ec l are d thatle!could not act. The prosecuting party then gave the affair a criminal turn, and almost produced a breach of the peace-in order to try a civil question. That was very common m Ireland: . The peace was often openly broken in order to determine irf a crimi nal Court the merits of a case which ought to be the subject of a civil action. The law of wager of battle had been repealed, but it was in effect continued in Ireland by the ,SfampActs. The Irish Gentry had been blamed for not improving their country. But the fact. Was, their efforts had always Veen frus trated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the •ciky. He 'spewed the progress cf crimehad been in proportionto.tlie crease or 'decrease of taxation. . He considered it ip - vah l fo at.. tempt to put down illicit distillation, but by diminishing the temptation to commit 'the offence. He protested agOntt sus pending the right of Trial by Jury. The Magistrates of Lime. rick wished the Bill to be renewed,,but desired that it nitht be
