FHOM THE TIMES, MAamt 30.—" These volumes contain much valuable matter. The staple of tte book is made up of family docu ments, but there are also to be found interspersed with the Grenville narrative, letters from nearly every man of note, dating from the death of the elder Pitt to the end of the century. There are three periods upon which they shed a good deal of light-.the format' 11 of the Coalition Ministry in 1783, the illness of the Kir.g in 1788, and the first war with Republican France. Lord Grenville's letters to his brother afford a good deal of information on the machinations of the Prince's party, and the conduct of the Prince and the Duke of York during the King's diness.

Earl GREY thanked the noble duke for the observa tions having special reference to himself, but still he must express his regret that Government did not intend to order an investigation. He must also refresh the noble duke's recollection as to what had really occurred last year. There was a distinct understanding that in vestigation was impracticable then, but was to take place id the present, and he was really mistaken if the late administration had not fully intended that an investigation should take place. Further, he must beg leave to say, that if the case against the New Zealand Company was in part their having concealed certain contingent liabilities, the lapse of time would now set the question at rest, as the liabilities must have fallen in, and Government been called upon to make payment. With respect to the two legal opinions, the most serious charge was that, by sending out one of those opinions, and suppressing the other, the settlers at Nelson had been induced to ageee to an ar rangement which they would otherwise have resisted. That was a point in which justice to the settlers and the honour of Parliament was concerned, and the act of passing the bill by no means rendered it less necessary. But more than that, although much had not been said in their lordships' house of the pecuniary part of the question, it was confidently stated in the other house of Parliament that some money which had been advanced by Parliament for public purposes was misapplied by the directors to purposes in which they themselves had per sonal interest. The present President of the Board of Works had made that charge, and offered to prove his charge before a committee of inquiry. Now, if a large sum of public money had been misapplied, it was the duty of the Government to insist on investigation, and if it had taken place to enforce repayment. Charges of direct malversation had been brought forward, and it was the duty of Gaiernment to institute the fullest in- same time to remove all reasonable cause of complaint, by destroying the anomalous authority of the Board of Directors.

He thought they should have the views of the people of Nelson before they proceeded further, and, in the meantime, he begged to say that he had made no charge of malversation of public money. He believed that the parties most in terested had expressed a strong wish for inquiry. - Earl GREY admitted that the New Zealand Com pany had expressed the utmost anxiety for the fullest inquiry. He could only say, that if he bad brought forward charges of so heavy a nature, he should have taken care they did not fall to the ground. However, it was a lesson to those who, by their present conscious reluctance, showed that their former accusations were groundless, not again to be so rash in circulating slan derous imputations against men who were of as high honour as themselves. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. KYOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably reauisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, .this unique compound will be found to eradicate all Tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discolours lion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth.

The members of the Dartmouth and Leicester Elec tion Committees were called to the table and sworn, and appointed to sit to-morrow, at 12 o'clock. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COPPER MINING COMPANY. The Committee of Management HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, that, in rursuance of the Resolution of the Board of 17th December last, they have allotted the remaining unappropriated Shares of the Company among the Holders of such Shares as were Registe ed in the Cost Book in the Mon. h of January last pursuant to Notice, and stamped with the Red Stamp. Such allotment is in the proportion of Two Shares for every Five Shares so Registered and Stamped. The Letters of Allotment will be issued at the Offices of the Com pany on production of the Shares so Registered and Stamped, on or before SATURDAY, the 16th day of April, 1853 ; after which the right to claim such Allotment will be considered as forfeited. TAUNTON ELECTION. The Taunton Election Committee was called to the table and sworn, and appointed to sit to-morrow at one o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

F.XCISE-OFFICE, in Old Broad-street, FOR SALE.—To be SOLD, by TENDER, GN order of the Corn miss oners of Inland Revenue, in several Lotg; or, if an adequate price be offered, in One Lot, all those extensive, valuable, and highly important FREEHOLD PREMISES in Old Broad•street, in the city of London, known for many years as the EXCISE-OFFICE, and, recently, as the Inland Revenue-office ; comprising the elegant and substantial stone banding fronting Old Broad-street, and the spacious offices and inclosed yard contiguous, in the rear, with a carriage-way entrance from BiShopsgate-street, all of which have been for the last eighty years vested in the Crown, and used for the purposes of the Excise Revenue. Several petitions were presented to the same effect by other hon. members. Sir J. ANDERSON presented a petition from Glas gow against the Scotch University Tests. Sir DE LACY EVANS presented a petition from the working men of Westminster in favour of the Combina- [on of Workmen Bill. Mr. TUFNELL presented a petition from Rye, pray ing that the writ for that borough be immediately issued. The hon. member gave notice that on this day week he would move the issuing of the writ. Several petitions were presented:against the admission of Jews into Parliament. The vast importance of this property, in regard as well to its loca lity as its extent, is of the highest character. The immediate neigh bourhood of the Royal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, the Auction Mart, and the numerous other public and pri vate establishments for business, renders its value peculiar; and no opportunity of acquiring a site in the city of London, in any degree approximating that now offered, will probably again present itself. Printed particulars and cOnditions of sale, with a form of tender, may be obtained at the offices of the Secretary, and the Solicitor of Inland Revenue, Somerset-house; and of William Herbert, Esq , the Board's Surveyor of Buildings, on the premises, in Old Broad-street.

Mr. FITZROY presented petitions from Lewes, Barn staple, and other places, in favour of extending the jurisdiction of county courts in cases of bankruptcy. Mr. COWAN presented a petition from Linlithgow and Edinburgh against the Scotch University Tests. Mr EWART presented a petition from Dumfries against the clause in the Public Houses (Scotland) Bill, prohibit ion.' the sale of spirituo u s Uquors by grocers. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from L ancas hi re , in favour of cou n tY financial boards. Sir J. TROL LOPE presented a petition from growers of corn in Surrey, praying for some reform in the mode of ascertaining the averages of the price of grain. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the shipwrights of London in favour of the Combination of Workmen Bill. Mr: RICARDO presented a petition from the Staf fordshire Potteries, praying for the abolition of the mi litia. FLOGGING IN THE NAVY. On the motion of Mr. HUME, a return was agreed to of the number of persons flogged in the Navy since 1847. • ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES. In reply to Mr. HUTCHINGS, Mr. FITZROY said the Government would have no objection to the re-appointment of the committee on accidents in mines, but just now two of the inspectors of mines had obtained leave to visit France, in order to ascertain the means adopted in those countries for the prevention of such accidents, and it would be more convenient if the hon. member postponed his mo tion until their return. Mr. HUTCHINGS said he would consent to that course. QUARANTINE LAWS. In answer to Mr. HUM; Lord J. RUSSELL said the sanitary regulations agreed to by the convention which was held in Paris in 1851 were received by the Secretary of State and referred by him to the Board of Trade. It seemed to them that they were open to very great objections, but they were still under their consideration, with the view of arriving at some regulations which would be useful to all mari time Powers. [PRIG% SD. ralty touching the promotions referred to in the paper relating to the Chatham election, and if so, would there be any objection to produce them ? Sir J. GRAHAM said he had made inquiry into this matter, and found that there were no such minute ; but there was an original notification in existence from the Surveyor of the Dockyard, relative to the promotion of Master Smith. PILOTAGE CHARGES. Mr. HUME moved for copies of Schedule List of the several rates of pilotage charged by the pilots under the Trinity-house, Deptford Strond, and the pilots under the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports ; together with the existing regulations and orders, by each of these depart ments, for the instruction and information of the ship owners. Agreed to. SIR J. BROOKE. Mr. DRUMMOND said he wished to put a question of some importance to the noble Lord (Lord J. Russell). It was well known that Mr. Hume had for the last two years been in the habit of inserting notices on the paper containing certain allegations and insinua tions against Sir J. Brooke, but he (Mr. Drummond) had taken every occasion to resist such motions. Mr. Hume had shifted his ground, and he now issued from his house, in Bryanstone-square, libels on the character of that individual, and these had been published at the expense of the Government. Mr. HUME—I deny they were libels. Mr. DRUMMOND—I say they were gross libels. These letters were presented to the house by the sanction of her Majesty, and they accused Sir J. Brooke, a servant of the Crown, of having beenguilty of gross and scandal. ous falsehoods. Now, he wished to ask why it was that such grave accusations were allowed to be published by the Government against a man, with respect to whom there was no reason to suppose the Sovereign had any ground for departing from the approbation which she had previously expressed of his conduct. (Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said the return of the correspon dence was agreed to after the resignation of the Earl of Derby, and when there was no member of the Govern ment present in the house to give ally answer with re spect to its production. When he accepted the seals of the Foreign-office, he found the papers had been pre pared, in pursuance of the address, and his first impres sion was to ask the house to rescind the order which it made—(hear, hear)—but on further consideration he thought it was better that the correspondence should be produced. He accordingly presented the return to the house. He must say, however, that the course which had thus been fallen into was a very inconvenient one, and he trusted the house would not agree to any further motion for the production of this correspondence, which in fact consisted of long letters from the hon. member for Montrose to the Secretary of State, containing accusa tions, which he might very well put into a speech in the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME hoped he might be allowed to explain. All these papers had been laid before the house in re gular order. It was only fair that when a paper was printed which applied to a letter not before the house, that the letter itself should be produced ; but he had nia.de charges against Sir James Brooke, which Sir James Brooke shrunk from, and if the house would only grant a committee of inquiry, he would give them. Mr. HENRY DRUMMOND wished now to ask Lord John Russell, whether the Government have re ceived the accounts of the breaking out of the Dyaks in acts of piracy, on the 3d day of February, in Sakarran, under the command of the pirate Rentab, who unfortu- ACCOUCHEMENT OF HER MAJESTY. Lord J. RUSSELL said, befor e they proceeded to the ordinary business of the day, he was sure the house would be anxious to congratulate her Majesty upon the birth of another Prince. Relying upon the feelings of loyalty and attachment which the house had always evinced towards the throne it would be unnecs sary for him to preface the motion he was about to make with any remarks, a.nd therefore without further comment he would at once move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, congratulating her Majesty upon the birth of another. Prince, and assuring her Ma jesty that it always afforded the greatest satisfaction to the house to see her Majesty's domestic happiness pro moted. Mr. DISRAELI had great pleasure in seconding the motion. The feellings of loyalty and attachment which the house felt for the Crown rendered the motion almost one as a matter of courie. • These feelings were also participated in by the country and they arise from a feeling that with the royal house of these realms were associated the best interests of the land. (Cheers.) The motion was then carried amidst loud cheers. PUBLIC EDUCATION. Lord J. RUSSELL brought in the Government Education Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow fortnight. nately escaped in the action with Captain Farquhar; the forcible coming out of a balls. (or assemblage for warlike purposes), in war vessels (bangongs) ; and the attacking the forts at the mouths of the rivers Sakarran and Rejang, by which Mr. Leo and many persons with him lost their lives ; again rendering insecure to mercan tile interests the whole coast of Borneo. Lord J. RUSSELL said such information had been received at the Foreign-office, and Lord Clarendon was now moving in the matter. _ _ CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. Mr. V. SMITH moved an address to the Crown for a commission to inquire into corrupt practices at elections at Cambridge :—Graham Wilmore, Esq., Q.C., George Boden, Esq., and Thomas Tower, Esq., Commissioners. The hon. member details the head s o f the evidence of bribery as it came out before the committee, and ex plained that the principal agents employed in the acts of bribery belonged to the fair sex. (A laugh.) There could be no doubt that a reckless system of corruption prevailed at the last election for Cambridge. The bribery which took place was not only systematic but also extensive, and it would seem that the only value which the freemen and male electors of Cambridge at tached to the franchise, was the amount of money which their votes would bring them, and nothing like prin ciple or party was ever thought of. He therefore felt bound, as chairman of the committee, to move for this commission and he hoped the house would expe rience no difficulty in agreeing to it. At the same time, however, he ought to state his opinion that the law of agency required extensive alterations and amendments, and he thought it would shortly be the duty of the house to take that question into its most serious consideration. The motion was agreed to without discussion. IRISH CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES. Mr. MOORE then rose to move, that in the opinion of this house, it is the duty of her Majesty's Govern ment forthwith to take into consideration the Irish Con solidated Annuities, in order to effect a more equitable settlement of the claims for which those annuities were granted, by remitting the amount charged on account of the Labour Rate Acts, 9 and 10 Vic., c. 107, and 10 and 11 Vic., 87, whilst the repayment of the workhouse loans, the advances for temporary relief, Act 10 Vic., c. 7, the advances for public works, under the Acts 1 Vic., c. 21, and 9 Vic., c. 1, and for the aid of the distressed districts, under the Act 13 Vic., c. 14, are fully pro vided for. He tame before the house to ask them to consider a question which deeply affected the whole people of Ireland. This was entirely a matter of facts and details not of principle, an,d,it would be for the house to decide whether it was not due to Ireland that these anomalies should be remitted as an act of justice. He did not a's 4 k for it on any other ground, and he trusted, therefore, that both sides of the house, and members of all parties, were ready to give the question a fair and impartial con sideration. It had been once investigated by a commit tee of the house, composed of all shades of opinion, and the unanimous rebommendatiOn of that was to abolish this objectionable tax. The committee thoroughly stud;ed the whole subject, they took evidence upon it collected from all part of Ireland, and given by persons who were entitled to confidence and respect, and the unanimous resolution which they arrived at was that which he had just stated. Nothing was left undone, nor was any point withheld from the committee which could have induced the committee to come to a different conclusion. (Hear, hear.) He should be (sorry to argue that the house ought to be bound by the decision of any committee ; but this was an ex ceptional ease to the ordinary rule. The country went with the committee in their recommendation, and since this tax was grossly unjust, besides being highly ob noxious to the feelings of Ireland, it was the duty of the house to adopt it. Common sense and sound policy were like in favour of the remission of the tax, and he hoped the house would have no hesitation in passing the motion. Ireland had never refused to dis charge her just debts or to repay advances that had been made to her as grants ; but she had no right to pay this tax, and it would be an act of policy as well as gene rosity to relieve her from it. Mr. HUME said these acts of piracy were provoked by Sir James Brooke himself. PILOTAGE BILL. Mr. FRENCH seconded the motion. He contended that the report of the Lords' committee on the subject at issue was perfectly just, and he was prepared to prove that it was perfectly moderate in its recommendations. He regretted the necessity for the present motion, and he felt bound to say that the representatives of Ireland . had not be en f a i r ly t rea t e d i n regard to the matter at issue by the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, before he made any remark on the subject matter of this motion, he must express the very sincere regret with which he had listened to that portion of the speech of the hon. member for Mayo, in which the hon. member treated this as a ques tion between Ireland and Sir Charles Trevelyan. Everything done, of which the hon. member complained, he laid on the shoulders of Sir Charles Trevelyan, and described that pub lic servant, whom he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not hesitate to characterise as an eminently able, up right, honest, and indefatigable man, in terms which he had never heard applied by any member of Parliament to one of that most valuable class of civil servants of the coun try who were the advisers of the Executive Government, who had no means of defending themselves in that house or otherwise when attacked—(hear, hear)—whose useful advice and successful propositions invariably redounded to the credit and honour of ' the Ministers of the day, whose advice and propositions ought to be laid to the charge and the responsibility of the Ministers, and ought not to be made the basis of a gross personal attack. (Hear, hear.) It was with surprise and regret that, for the first time during some experience, he had listened to such terms as those in which the hon. member described Sir C. Trevelyan as " a dogmatist, a theorist, a practical blunderer, who spared nothing, and who scrupled at nothing." Ho was satisfied there were few men in that house who would have made such an attack, and he doubted very much whether the hon. gentleman himself would hereafter repeat it. (Hear.) Whatever Sir C. Trevelyan had advised or done in this matter, it ought not to be laid to his door ; it was to be laid to the door of the Government who adopted the mea sures which he advised ; and if the measures were not sound in principle, or had been found unsuccessful in practice, it was the Government only on whom th e bl ame oug ht t o b e laid. He might personally remark of the peculiarity of this dis cussion. He did not recollect the case of a financial pro position of great importance made to the Commons House of Parliament, and supported almost exclusively on the basis of the report of a committee of the House of Lords. He did not mean to say that when justice and good sense were involved in the proceedings of a committee of the House of Lords, they ought not to be attended to ; but he entirely demurred to the description which the honourable member for Mayo gave of the report of that committee, when he designated it as a high and commanding autho rity. He did not admit the doctrine that the report of a committee of the House of Lords upon a question of finance was to be urged in the House of Commons, not a m s e a re hi ly g a h s a an m d at co te m r attention, m re a a n so d n in a g ble au a t n h d o d ri e t s y e . r 7H g enr.)Hew but s much more disposed to think that the report of a commit tee of that chamber of the Legislature which was not the taxing chamber, ought to be received with some jealousy by the body to whom was entrusted the functions of tax ing the people and deciding upon the burdens to be cast upon them ; at the same time they ought to consider whatever merits it might have in reference to the standard of reason and justice.

DI V. •' "'" N ' - /N. 4, , should not enter into any statement of the views of the Government on this question. He should not refer to the judgment of the Government with regard to it, but to the arguments raised by the hon. gentleman, that the remis sion of 2,000,0001. or 3,000,000/. expended under the Relief Act of 1846, ought to be made on grounds of strict justice, and because the exaction of it would be a wrong inflicted on Ireland. There, again, he did not think the two hon. gentlemen had made go od their case. The statement seemed to be that the Parliament and Government of this country had intruded into the position and usurped the functions of the landed proprietors or Ireland. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Moore.) He believed these were some of words used—" that the mode of relief chosen was con demned by the people of Ireland"—of course, that meant condemned at the time, because if not at the time it meant nothing—" that the parties who administered relief seduced labourers, caused deaths and starvation, which would not otherwise have taken place, and diminished the amount of means of subsistence in the country." The whole was summed up with a long bill which Ireland had paid in re compense for the great wrongs done to her. It might be said that when the British Parliament enacted the poor law, they committed something like a usurpation of the functions of the landed proprietors. But if they had not assumed those functions, they must have remained in abeyance. Parliament passed the poor-law against the opinion of Irish proprietors, and he supposed it would not be pretend e d now t o say that Parliament erred in doing so. (Hear, hear.) He knew, whatever might be the opi nion of the mover of this proposition, that the public at large, and the people of Ireland owed a deep debt of grati tude to the noble lord for having passed that poor-law. (Cheers.) It was now made a great charge against the Government that its officials were placed in the position of the landed proprietors. He wanted to show that, in pass ing the poor-law, the Government and its officials were put in tho place of the landed proprietors under the pressure of very strong necessity—absolute necessity—for the wel fare of the people of Ireland; and therefore it was not a conclusive argument against the proceedings of Parlia ment, if he showed that in the instance they were now dis cussing the Government assumed the functions of the landed proprietors either better to discharge those func tions for the benefit of the people. Ho did not admit that Parliament did so. He did not admit that the law was forced upon Ireland. What were the provisions of the law? It began by stating that the Lord-Lieutenants should direct extraordinary presentment sessions for the baronies; that such sessions should be held by the justices, and they should record presentments of such public works as they approved. They were required to send up a list of pre sentments of public works, suc h as th ey approve d , to the Lord-Lieutenant, who forwarded them to the Treasury, and no public - work was undertaken except it was first approved by the extraordinary sessions, by the Lord-Lieu tenant, and by the Treasury. Would any one tell him that the structure of that act betrayed any dispOsition on _ the part of Parliament to set aside or neglect the landed proprietors of Ireland ? The Lord - Lieutenant was not authorised to act except upon presentments made by the sessions, consisting of the landed proprietor s of Ireland— he had no power of acting independently of them. The hon. gentleman quoted some cases, in which he seemed to allege presentments had been extorted from the local parties by influence, and the works executed somewhat against their wishes. The figures would distinctly show that such cases were the exception and not the general rule ; because what were the facts? By extraordi nary presentment sessions in Ireland, under the Labour Act of 1846, presentments were made amounting in all to 6,647,000/. Let the house remark the import of that. Presentments were made by the landed proprietors for public works to the extent of 6,647,0001. What was the extent of the works executed ? The extent executed wes 4,460,0001. ; therefore it appeared two millions were presented by parties locally interested in Ireland which were never sanctioned at all. Did they mean to complain of the selection made in the works, which the local parties had already approved, or did they mean to complain that too few of these works had been executed ? At any rate, if it was charged that these works were executed either in defiance of the will or without the will of the landed pro prietors of Ireland, and that the landed proprietors on whom the burden must ultimately fall were set aside, he said, on the contrary, the structure of the act showed the utmost anxiety on the part of Parliament that the landed proprietors should have as much discretion as possible, and that the utmost precautions were taken to prevent their having reason to say that they were set aside, and these charges forced upon them in spite of their own different opinion. (Hear.) He believed he might with confidence refer to the discussion in the Houses of Parliament when the act passed. It was very easy to be wise now after the fact. The famine came on with giant strides, and spread over the land with a rapidity and raged with an intensity which no man could foresee, and the machinery broke down. (Hear, hear.) When Parliament met again they recognised the failure of the machinery, and set about applying remedial measures. No doubt, great mischief had been done, but everybody had been deceived, and everybody had miscalculated. The charge made at the time against the Government was that the act was ham pered with too many restrictions, and that the number of • presentments made would be less than it ought to be. If that was the language of the Irish representatives at that time, they had no right to say now that the Government of the day had acted in opposition to their suggestions. For the various reasons which he had stated, he demurred to the proposition made by the hon. member, that any remis sion was due to Ireland on the score of justice. Even if Parliament had been deliberately wrong, he still thought that the hon. gentleman ought to have shown that the Irish representatives had pointed out the right course. But to that point the hon. gentleman had not even addressed himself. He would now refer to the imputation which the honourable gentleman had made against him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). The honourable gentleman said that if he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made a promise to give an immediate reply, he ought to keep it. So far he agreed with the hon. gentleman, but when he was told that at the time wh en h e me t the deputation in Downing-street he promised to give an answer totally irre spective of the budget, he could not say that - he agreed with him at all, for he statel exactly the reverse. As he could refer to a written record of- what passed, he would tell the right hon. gentleman what he did say. Lord Mon teagle stated to him that there had been a conversation in the House of Lords on the night immediately preceding the interview, which would seem to show that the question had been postponed for reasons of departmental conveni ence, and then he went on to say that the Government had no right to tax the poorest part of the Queen's dominions— namely, Ireland—with reference to any question of surplus or deficiency in the annual income of the State. In reply, ho Oho Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the Earl of Aberdeen, in the speech to which Lord Monteagle had referred, merely said that the question was not to depend on the surplus or deficiency of the year. This statement ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made at the time, and this statement he now repeated. The lion. member, in stating that the answer which he had promised to give, was to be quite irrespective of a surplus, represented him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to be out of his senses. When every question connected with fiscal administration was raised, and pressed against from every quarter, the hon. gentleman would have a right to be more severe upon him thad he had been, if he really believed that he had given an immediate answer to a question which was most complex in its character, and which involved five millions of money. The fact was, that he had not only stated that he could not give an immediate answer, but he had detailed the reasons why he could give one. He stated that the question of the consolidated annuities was con nected with the financial condition of the country, and that it was not the intention of the Government to take any steps in the matter without reviewing the whole of the financial prospects of the State. To that declaration he still adhered. It was not the intention of the Government to consider the question of the consoli dated annuities, except in conjunction with the other great financial questions of the day. This was the 7th of April, and on the 18th it would fie his duty, on the part of the Government to lay before the house the whole of the views which her Majesty's ministers entertained on the financial position of the country. He trusted, therefore, that the hon. gentleman would not consider it disrespectful to him if he declined to enter upon any further discussion of the question at present. It would then appear whether the Government were justified in the views which they took with respect to the general finances of the country. If the hon. gentleman did not agree with those views, it was open to him to move a vote of censure upon the Govern ment. He had no more at present to say than that, in his opinion, the hon. gentleman who had made this motion had not made out the case which he stated it was his inten tion to prove, , namely, a case of wrong and oppression on the part of Parliament and of the Government against Ire land at the period of the famine, and on the ground of which wrong and injustice he had claimed the remission of two or three millions, not as a matter of equitable con sideration, but upon the basis of strict restitution. To these observations, therefore, he had only to add that he should feel it to be his duty to oppose the motion. Mr. H. HERBERT agreed with the right hon. gentleman in all that he had stated with respect to the Irish Poor law, to which h e l oo k e d f or th e regenera ti on of Ireland. What was complained of was, that while members of that house and the public press were lecturing on the necessity of self-exertion, Parliament, by its legislation, had made it impossible. With respect to the Irish landlords, no ono could doubt that they had been guilty of many sins, both of omission and commission, but at the same time ho believed that when the famine came they wore prepared to do their duty. The light hon. gentleman was perfectly correct in stating that the Government could not initiate any particu lar work at the presentment sessions ; but could he be so ignorant of the state of the country as to believe that the owners of land, in the midst of a starving population, were really free agents ? (Hear, hear.) They were placed in a position, which, he thought, any man of common sense must perceive rendered them—if they were alive to the common feelings of humanity—almost involuntary actors in the performance of the duty which had been impos e d upon them. It was felt that a pressure must exist on those who had to carry out the act, and this was one of the causes of its failure. The presentment sessions were on more than one occasion scenes of confusion, intiida tion, and riot, which was the natur a l result of givin g th e people to understand that the mag i strates had nothing to do but to carry out the intentions of the Legislature, and give them work. Even if the landlords had been insen sible to the intimidation which was exercised, there were few who were willing to evade the responsibility which the condition of their fello -countrymen imposed upon them, and Sir C. Trevelyan himself gave a list of landlords, including Lord Lurgan and o thers, . who lost their lives in consequence a the efforts which they made to relieve des titution. Lord J. RUSSELL had hoped, that after the la p se of seven years, something like a dispassionate consideration would have b een man i fested for the difficulties which be set the executive and every one else in the great and dis tressing trial to which the people of Ireland were sub jected. He was very sorry to find that this was not the prevalent feeling. He thought that a great portion of the statements in the document which had been so much re fereed to, the report made by a committee of the House of Lords, were well founded, and gwe an accurate picture of the case. What he thought the fault of the report was, the total omission of the subject which the committee had to consider, namely, the famine; and that it was the duty of every one to mitigate that calamity in the only way they could, by trying to save human life. The report, how ever, seemed but now and then to notice that fact inciden tally, though it was the great subject of their inquiry. Errors, no doubt, might have been committed by the Go vernment and others, but the question was, whether they did not, in a great degree, arrive at the end proposed, and save the lives of a great number of persons. It was represented for the purposes of this motion that there was an undertaking by the Government of this country to for in duce the Legislature to determine on a syst o em_ f the Irish people without the consent of system proprietors.
