WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1822 not originated in, and been kept 'up by, religi ous bigotry,--why has he postponed, until ano ther Session, the application to the sores and grievances of Ireland of that all-healing sove reign remedy—" Catholic Emancipation," which is to tranquillize' the country, and humanite its R.omish inhabitants ? Truly, Mr. Editor,. if he expressed his real sentiments, I must say I think that he has not used the O'Gormans,O'Connells, • O'Sullivans, O'Shanghessys, and his other Ro mish constituents in " the Metropolitan Chapel," with due consideration and respect : for it is hard that they should longer be deprived of seats in Parliament, in the Cabinet, or the Bench,' and at the Council Board ; because, as Signor Pastorini has justly observed about the rebellion of 1641, " the mere rabble have risen in rebel. lion, from despair and the dread of utter extir pation, against the inclinations of the corinnu nity, and in opposition to_•'the:-exttfintatiOns of their Clergy. ,The adage, that."the truth is nototo be spoken at all times 4" has been fully verefied with re gartiqo Mr. Ellis, one. of tho. Representatives of the City of Dublin : for the plain honest truths he; told, on the late question, called forth the Vituperation of some, the wittiness of others, and the rudeness of many—awful truths thatmay be remembered, when too late. In conscien :tiously discharging hiS duty to his constituents, which had not always been attended to by some ,of their Representatives, he was as much intitled to, respectful attention as- the Member for the University of Dublin ; even though he may not possess the same oratorical powers, or equal to those of a late great champion of Popery : nor had the 'Attorney-General or Mr. Grattan any concern with his absente from " his office," as the ends of public justice could not be retarded by it, there being three other Masters in Chancery; but some fastidious. persons are sur-, prised, the present state of Ireland considered, at the absence of thefirst Law Officer of :he Crown. I hav e no recollection that the Right Hon. W. Saurin, during the number of years he discharged the duties of the high abd important office he filled, with honour to himself and advan tage to the public, ever absented himself; and yet, the country was not then in open rebellion, though frequently much agitated.

EDITOR—From your kind 'attention to my former Letter, I am induced ugain.to address you, for the purpose of troubling you with a few remarks upon Mr. PLUNKET'S speech, OH Sir JOHN NEWPORT'S late motion on the affairs of this long-agitated, long-harassed,—l had well nigh said,, long-misgoverned country ; for there has been a temporizing system too long and too generally pursued, with regard to Ireland, that might well warrant such an expression, without any misapplication of terms. Not, however, that I have any doubt of /the genuineness of that speech, as I formerly entertained, and do still entertain, as to that of the charge, imputed to Mr. JUSTICE FLETCHER ; for every sentiment it contains, as given in the public prints, is per fectly consonant to the well-known principles of the Right Hon.. Gentleman, upon what is called " Catholic Emancipation." I cannot, however, avoid expressing some sur prise that, in eulogizing the Romish Bishops and Priests in Ireland, a person of his intelligent, strong, and perspicuous mind, should have over looked a very prominent and a very favourable circumstance respecting those Right Reverend and Reverend Gentlemen, which could not have failed, when enforced by the power of his overwhelming eloquence, to have convinced every sceptic, as to their loyalty to their Sovereign, and their attachment to our glorious Constitution in Church and State, as established at. the Revo lution ; I mean that truly constitutional work, replete with Christian charity and meekness, which lately issued from the press in this city, intituled " A History of the Christian, Church," by Signor Pastarini ; and patronized by Doctor Murphy, the Romish Bishop, and all his Priests, the rather, as it engrossed much conversation at the time his Majesty's Attorney-General last visited Cork ; and still more, es ti 'know that a Gentleman then purchased 'a copy, for the pur pose of presenting it to one of the Crown Lawyers (not the Attorney-General),froni an idea that, tho' the learned and pious Author had got beyond sublunary rewards, the republishers and pati'ons of so useful and valuable a work ought not to go unrequited. The_ doctrine he then promulgated, as to Fa ther O'Sullivan, his ,also surprised me not a little; not only as coming from a lawyer of Mr. Plunket's eminence and sound constitutional prin ciples, thus making the influence of Priests para mount to the Laws of the Land, but also as a Member of that branch of the Christian Church, called Unitarian, if it be' not a misnomer to style that Christian which denies the Divinity of the Founder of the Christian Religion ; between the Members of which, and those of the Church of Rome, " there cannot," as the Duke of New castle justly remarked, in his admirable Letter to the Earl of Liverpool, ," be any religious feel ing ifi common." As to his opinion respecting the origin of the present Rebellion, doubtless the force of his elo quence will have 'produced the desired effect upon ,the minds of those who are unacquainted with the tenets of 'Popery, and are ignorant of the real state of this country, and who may pro bably take little interest in it—or may be indif ferent alike as to all religious establishments.-- ormay, as the Duke of Newcastle remarked, wish to establish their own Church upon the ruins of of the Protestant Reformed Church : but the Protestants of .Ireland,—that is,- those that are Protestants lit more than the mere name, will think for themselves, as long as they retain the power, before Popery shall have been establish ed, and shall have forged " - Manacles and Mufflers for their minds ;" and they will judge from reason and experience, of causes and effects, even though it may be in opposition, to the Bulls of Pope Plunket, and Pope Pius VII. 'There is, however, a criterion,. by which we may judge if the Right Honourable Gentleman really, felt . as he spoke :—if he thought so• highly of the - Rornish Priests, as he would wish - the world to ' believe he did, or that the present rebellion has y.-er-i, \,‘ t 014,0, --,.> •....` 1 ,,5 4 , ., 5 . , 7, -,-, 8) , ? , ,,, e, : f. ,,, k e - - --1-7. .

G. BENNET, In thing to rective for-leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the present thode Of licensing public houses, observed that lie:Would no t occupy -the attention-of the House longer than was necessary to enable him to state concisely the nature of the measures which he wished to introduce, which would be best effected by showing the points of difference be tween it and the law as it- at present stood. Under the present system an individual who solicited a license was obliged to give in a certificate of character. • It might naturally be supposed that this certificate would be derived from the place where he was best known—namely, where be had last resided. No such thing ; it was required to come from the place to which he was going. He (Mr. Bennet) would alter this practice. and provide that the certificate should be signed by some individual living in the parish in which the - publican had last resided, and that it should state particularly who he was, and what business he had formerly pursued. The next point which his Bill touched upon was that of recognizahces. Under the present law, a publican was required to enter into recognizances for his pro per behaviour; but this was merely a matter of form, no real securities being ever given. His Bill would provide that sub stantial securities should be !given. It was an evil of the isting system thatit presented no intermediate degrees of pu nishment for the improper conduct of publicans, between ab-. solute- ruin by the deprivation of licenses, and the infliction of - slight fines. He proposed to remedy this by giving gistrates the power to proportion the,fures- to the offences; and, in an instance of very gross Misconduct, to send the case before a - jury. If the Jury should return a verdict against the offender, the Magistrates w ou ld t h en estreat hi s recog nizances, shut up his houke, and declare him incapable pf ---- 31-dm - opening a public-house. By theliroVisions of his Fffil it would be required that a Magistrate who abrogated - or refused to grant a license should state his reasons for his conduct. The Hon. Member proceeded to inveigh against the existing system. To the disgrace of the Legislature, and still more of th e Ma gistracy, the m a j or ity o f the 1; 1)1:die-houses throughout the country were in the hands of brewers, who drenched the,people with their bad - beer, or compelled them to take to spirits as a substitute. From curiosity, he (Mr. H. G. Bennet) had tasted some of the abominable stuff to which he alluded. Seeing one name to all the public-houses in a nei g hb our h oo d, l ie had been desirous to assay the :potion which the people were condemn e d to swallow. The only remedy which he saw for the evil was, to increase the facility of obtaining licenses for public-houses ; and the plan thich he should-suggest for that purpose was this —he would enable every man holding a house of 201. a year to demand as a right (upon entering into fit securities), the power of opening a* public-ho use ; l eav i ng p ower to the M agistrates, on the next licensing day, to - shirt up the house if they saw reason toll° so. The Hon.- Member concluded by moving, that leave be given - to bring,i-a-a Bill to amend the present mode of licensing public-houses. Mr. CALVERT professed himself ready to give every as sistance to the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury, although he doubted that his - plan would be open' to objection. He be lieved that from one end cf the country to the other, there was not only a great deal of bad beer sold, but a great deal of short measure. The Hon. Gentleman sat down by objecting to the use of earthen pots, which professed to hold a quart each, but which-in reality did not contain more than a piht and a half. He thouht that some strict regu l a ti on as to measure would be beneficial. - Sir I. COFFIN bore witness, from his own experience, to the fact of the bad measure. Mr. COLBORNE suggested the propriety of granting li censes- to sell table beer only. An excellent beer, he under stood, could be brewed for two-pence halfpenny a' quart ; but the law restricted table beer at present to three-halfpence. Ile believed that the experiment which he proposedhad been tried successfully, thoughillegally, in a country village. The pea santry had bought the beer almost universally, and .the Magi strates had regretted that they were compelled to put down the practice, Mr. GRENFELL, without risking any decided opinion upon the subject, thought that the House iits indebted to the ,exertions of Mr: Bennet.—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Mr. COKE presented a Petition from th e to wn o f Maiden head, against the existing mode of licensing public-houses. Mr. CALVEItT said a few words, but we could not catch their meaning. Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS defended the conduct of the Magistrates generally. Mr. FYSHE PALMER bore testimony to the meritorious services of the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury. EMBASSY TO THE SWISS CANTONS. Mr. WARRE postponed his motion upon the Embassy to the Swiss Cantons until Thursday next. If the motion of the Hon. Member for Ipswich with tespect to the third class of the Civil List were earned, its operation would include the appoint.. went against which his (M r . Warred) motion was directed.— If the Hon. Member's motion, however, should not receive the sanction of the House, he (Mr. Warre) would bring his own measure on on Thursday. IRISH MAIL-COACHES. 'Sir N. COLTHURST presented a Petition from the Mer chants and Bankers of Cork against the present regulations as to the transport of letters between that city and Dublin. The Hon. Member stated that the Petition was most numerously and respectably signed. Ills wish was that it should be refer red to a Committee. " Mr. SPRING RICE understood that the mail-coach con.. tract between Limerick and Dublin, either had been co m pl e t e d ; or was on the point of being completed, upon terms very dis advantageous to the publi c , an d highly injurious to the mer cantile interest. He wished th a t some explanation on the sub ject should be given to the House. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. The LORD ADVOCATE presented a Petition from the county of Kincardine, complaining of the depressed state of agricultural produce. BANK CHARTER. Mr. GRENFELL, seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place, desired to give a notice and to p u t a quest i on . Hi s notice was that he should resist the proposed measure with re spect to the Bank Charter; his question was, when would that measure, in a tangible shape, come before the House ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that both the House arid the lion. (lentleman must be aware :that, besides the negotiation for the renewal of the Bank Charier, PRICE- SiVENPANCE:: 'another negotiation, i m p ortant to : fi nanc i al 'operations, was goingon in the city. As one of the'rneasures might possibry affect the other, the House would .see the propriety of taking no step with respect to the Bank Charier until the other point was disposed of. , . .. Mr. MABERLY objected to the large profits =Nigel by the Bank. A renewal of their Charter upon the old scald ought to be resisted. Mr. PEARSE thought it would be better to postpone 'dis cussion until the question came before the House.. . -.- Mr. DAVENPORT presented a Petition from the most dii tressed part of the most distressed county in England. '4l : e Petition (which by some accident was not read, but which'sailts understood to come from the county of Sussex) prayed kV - a -- reduction of the duties upon hops, and for the repeal Of stain' regulations as to the mode of packinfl them. The CHANCE'LLOR of the EXCHEQUER avoided.giVa* ing any opinion as to the propriety of reducing the Duties on Hops. Whntever general reductions might be hereafter .er fected, it was impossible for Government to pledge itself as to any particular tax. With respect to the packin regulatiens complained of, he had n o o bj ect i on to their repeal, provided it would not be attended with mischievous consequences: • • Mr. CALVERT thought that the repeal of those regulations would be mischievous. e• After a few words from MiILUSHINGTON, the, Petition wstaxacchaalseand ordered to be printed. lONIAN ISLANDS: -- Mr. HUME rose, and said-that the task he had uridertakenf was not one pleasingao himself. If he were anxious' to con sult his own ease he would not have interfered - -with "the question ; but he considered that the interests of 200,000: inn habitants of the lonian Islands, and the • character 'of - .4110 British nation, from the protection it had undertaken-to offer them, was at stake. It was - from these motives that. ha esia gaged in a task un pl easant - to hi s f eel i ngs —but one on' which his opinions were most decided. It was not the first, aloe' the third time that he had tailed the attention -Of the Hodge, to the subject; last year he had laid before it the situation of those Islands, in a very detailed manner. He said- - that he would, in justice to himself -and to the cause of humanity- in these islands, have to trespass on the time of the House 'at present, but he would endeavour to compress, the subject* of briefly as possible. He was anxious to state that he hadano personal feelings to gratify evil-rat the individual whom -he found it his duty to arraign. He. did not know him ; he had not any transactions witli him ; it was solely on public grounds he attacked his conduct. He (Mr. Huine) ' sad spent -a considerable time' in the lonian Islands, and had at= tached himself to the inhabitants. • He would therefere abe blameablo• if he did not give his attention to their present deplorable state. At that time Corfu was held by Francsses he passed through all the others; he found the name-of-Eng land hailed as the harbinger .of peace ; its e proteetien was.. supposed by the inhabitants to bring to the m the saine'.4- berty -they had heard England herself enjoyed. :They les garded this country: with feelings of: devotion and affectiori, which we had ill repaid. These islands belonged to the' Gos vernment of Venice in the year 1797 ; they follow-NI the for tunes of that •,tate, 'and in 1801 they became subject -to Russia. By a secret article of the treaty of Tilsit they were next conveyed from Russia to France, in which situation they remained until 1810. At the treaty of Paris they were de clared free and iadependent, and placed under the special guarantee and protection of Great Britain. There Was an article in the treaty which stated that. the Government then • existing in the lonian jslands should remain till there was time to form a constitutional government. This treaty was agreed to on the 2d of 'May, 1818, and was signed on the 11th ,of July following by his Britannic • Majesty. He would view the question under two heads first, as regarded the expenses which Great Britain incurred in consequence of the possession of these Islands'; and, aecondly, as to the treatment which these Islands had a right to expect from Great Britain. Ira could refer to a speech of the Noble Marquis on the subject -- of the treaty of Paris, in which he explained the jealousy of the Russian Ge eernmetrr as to these Islands, and also said that they expressed a wish to place themselves under the protee tion of England, in the expectation of receiving a constitution' framed on the same principles as that of this country.. A -Noble Earl' expressed a similar opinion in his place in the. House of Lords. But if these Islands were to be placed stn-. der the protection of England, it ought not to be at the ex-: pence of any additional burden to this country. However, he would be able to show that, if the resources of- these Islands were properly managed, they would be quite sufficient to de:, fray all the expences necessary for their administration. it was expressed, in the Constitutional Charter, as agreed 'upon• at the treaty of Paris, that the government of the Milian' Islands should be carried on in proportion to the revenues de rived from them, 'except when the garrisdnexseeded 3;00o men; then the Islands should not be subject to the. expence of maintaining them. By this article, then, Great Britain was obliged to defray' the exoence of keeping a garrison of 3,000 men in these Islands, when their own revenues would be suffi-• cient to defray it, if they were frugally managed. In 1816, after the conclusion of the treaty, Sir Thomas Maitland was appointed to succeed General Campbell. Sir Thomas Mait land went to his new government, and returned in about two months, for the purpose of consulting on the new Consti tution to be given to these Islands. Ile then -went bade with a constitution framed according to the agreement contained in the Treaty of Paris. By the 12th article of the second chapter of that treaty, all the expences of quartering the troops of his Britannic Majesty, and all the expences of supporting 3,000 men, were to be defrayed out of the treasury of the United States; but, instead of that, this country 'had still a very l arg e annual suns to pay towards the expences of this Government.. Now, when the people of England were suffering so much front distress-when economy was so much to be desired in the expences of Government, for the purpose of alleviating the evils arising from a lavish expenditure- at such a moment,- ought it to be tolerated that the lonian Islands should entail an expence . on this country ? He had no hesitation in saying that the Noble Marquis ham' neglected his duty in not taki ng care that the States should pay all the expences of their own govern- Mena According to the Returns which he had moved for, it appeared that this country paid towards the Government of the United States of the lonian Islands in the year endi ng the 24th Decemb er , 1817, 145,2031., exclusive of the transports which were kept there for three years. Now, he believed that only two were employed in conveying troops : in 1818, the An* which was paid for the same purpose was 120,0001. Inahemids die of the present Session he moved for a continuation of these returns, but they were not l a id on t h e ta bl e . H e suppose d those in the ffices connected with this department would be able to account to the House ; but so faf from the expences being di minished since, he had every reason to believe they were in creased. The troons on the 23d February lest amounted to 3900, exclusive of ale artillery and commissariat. Since the treaty of Paris, now seven years, the government of the Islands cost this country 1,000,0001. This was an intolerable bur then to England under its present circumstances, but he would show it was a lavish expenditure, asal that there was no occasion for it,. as the revenue of the Islands was amply, sufficient to defray all expenses, if they were properly adminis tered. According to a re t urn odd on the table, last year, it appeared that the revenue of the Islands amounted to 391,000 dollars, or 87,0001., which, added to the 145,0001. ma d e t h e expenses for one year 232,0001. The revenue of the States. themselves would have been quite sufficient, were it not for the number of appointm en t s ma d e b y Sir Thomas Maitland, and-the enormous salary he had himself. He had 5,0001. a year as' Governor of .3.lalta, 3,5091. as High Commissioner,' 1,0001. a year as a pension, and 1,0001. a year as Colonel of 'a -- regiment. Thus Sir Thomas ;Maitland had 10,5001. a yeas; without including the perquisites attached to these offices, which would bring it nearly to 15,0001. a year. At all events; 13,0001. a year of thsepublic money was wasted. Then he had a secretary and assist secretary, at salaries of 3,0001. a year, sack. - There were several other offices which had salaries.froan 2001. to 2501. a year, attached to them. The Members of the' Council of Justice had 20001. a year, and besides these, there. was an agent to the Islands, residing in London, Sir Alexanes der Wood, who had 5001. a year: What thii agent, resident. in London, had to do, he could not conceive. The whole sum annually paid to these different officers amounted to 11,7671. Then the Chief Officer in the Island of Corfu had 1,0001. Sir Thomas Adain had a :situation,. for which be had 1,0001. a year. There were four officers attached to the government in this Islturl, who- had 3831. a year, half-pay; and there. were six suLainspectore, with salaries of 1811.,each ; besides these there was a Chief Inspector who :had a large salary, a though he had not one day's difty -to do during the year. • There were also ten Staff Officers, among whoMowas IVlajer , Thomas Fane, :Member of that Hotiae: 'Major Stuart and Captain J.
