ESTATE IN THE COUNTY OF FORFAR. The ESTATE of FINHA VEN, in the parish of Oathlaw. —This Estate, which consists of above 4,000 ACRES im perial measure, is beautifully situated in a fine agricultural district, having the River South Esk running through a consi derable part of the Property, and is insersected by the Turn pike-read leading from the County-town of Forfar, to the Town of Brechir:. The greater part of the Estate is Arable Land of good qua lity, which is divided into Farms of convenient sizes, occupied by a substantial and industrious tenantry. The buildings and fences are suitable to the Farm, and in good repair. About 1,000 Acres are under under thriving plantations, of different ages and of great value. There is no Mansion-house, but there are beautiful situations for forming a Proprietor's Resi acne° upon the Estate. In particular, the sit: of the old Castle of Finhaven, the ancient Residence of the Crawford Family, on the banks of the South Esk, is admirably adapted for that purpose. 2,d. ESTATES IN THE COUNTY OF INVERNESS. 1. The ESTATE of INVERLOCHY, in Lochabar, as purchased by the Marquis of Huntly from the Trustees of Alex ander, Duke of Gordon. This Estate is of great extent, and of highly improveable character, The Salmon Fishings in the River Lochy are valuable, and the Estate abounds in game of all the varieties found in Highland districts. 2. The GLENGARRY ESTATE, as recently acquired by the Marquis, and which forms an extensive Highland District, is beautifully situated on both sides of the Caledonian Canal. The Lands are chiefly occupied in sheepwalks by substantial tenants, whose rents are regularly paid. There arc extensive and valuable woods of birch, fir, and oak on the lands, chiefly of natural growth, and the hills, which extend many miles in different directions, abound with deer, roe, grouse, ptarmigan, and black game, and the lakes and rivers with salmon and trout. There is a large and convenient Manor-house and suitable offices on the Estate, and the Caledonian Canal affords cheap and ready access to the Low Country. In short, so valuable and desirable properties, either for the eapitalist or sportsman, seldom appear in the market. 3d. PROPERTIES IN THE COUNTY OF ABER DEEN.

STEVENS appeared at the bar, with a petition stating that it was intended to apply this Session for an Act to prohibit the erriploymrnt of children•tin sweeping eliimre).s, in conformity with the recommendation of a Committee of the House of Commons, and desiring the Court to exercise its liberality in aid of the expenses of procuring an Act, Mr. OBEARD moved that it be referred to the Finance Committee, to consider the petition. Mr. GALLOWAY cordially seconded the motion, and ex pressed his sense of the laudable exertions made by the petitioners in furtherance of this object. consequence of the patriotism of John Wilkes. He knew that many great and good men supported this question of privilege, but he rimembered a saying of George 111 , who had had great experience of parties, and he said, " I never yet knew the heads of opposite parties come together, but they were wrong.”—(Laughter.) Let the privilege be granted, and then no one need ever be punished for a libel—all they had to do was to get up a petition libelling their enemy, and get it presented and printed, or get calumniatory evidence given before a Committee, whether true or false did not matter, because it was not given on oath, a report would be made, it would be printed and published at the sale shop of the House of Commons, and the work siould be done. The Sheriffs bad sworn to obey the Queen's writs, ad they stood thus ; if they obeyed one they were punished, and if they obeyed thefother tribunal, they were punished by the other. They were high-minded men, or they might at once get out, for it had been whispered to them that if they paid the money, made their bow and apology to the lion. House, there would be a grant from the secret service money. But they were high-minded men, anxious only to do their duty, and they would suffer :other than tarnish their honour. Mr. WELLS said the Central Criminal Court met on Monday, and how was the business to be done. If he had a brief for a prisoner who was convicted, he would mcve an arrest of judgment on account of their absence from the making of the panel of the jury.—( Laughter. ) Mr. TAYLOR said it was gross tyranny on the part of the House of Commons, and their privileges were so undefined that they might flay the Sheriifi alive if they pleased. They were setting themselves above all law, which the people would never allow. If the House triumphed on the pre. sent occasion they woul , ' triumph ever common sense, over law, and over their own honour and dignity.—(Cheers. ) He had never heard of such an attempt at caching arbi trary power since the days of Nebuchadnezzar —( Laughter) Mr. PRITCHARD rose amidst loud cries of . " Divide, divide," and " Wire, Wire." After sonic time of confusion, Mr. PRITCHARD proceeded, and contended that the pri vileges of Parliament were part and parcel of the law of the land, as hid down in many of the text-books, more especially in Judge Blackstone's book. Mr. LAWRANCE was quite sure that if they intended to liberate the Sheriffs, their petition would be of no use. The Court wanted much information upon the subject. He thought the petition would have the contrary effect in tended. Mr. ASHURST thought the claim of privilege made by the House of Commons was inimical to the liberties of the subject. He, however, objected to the wording of the petition, inasmuch as the Court in it was prejudging a question quite contrary to the judgment of Lord Denman. He trusted the present difficulty would lead to an amended law of libel. Mr. JONES (Bishopgate) said Lord Denman merely laid it down that the House bad the power of committal, anal no more. Had the cause of the committal appeared on the face of the warrant, the Court declared they would have considered the legality of it or not, according to the resolutions of the House all in the Court were guilty of contempt, for they were questioning the privileges of the House, and they might all expect to be waited on by the Sergeant at Arms. Mr. WIRE replied. The Question was now put by the RECORDER, and the petition carried by an overwhelmieg majority. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock, when a number of private Bills were read a first time. Mr. BA YNES presented a petition from some place in Oxford against the payment of Church-rates. An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from some place in England against any further grant to Maynooth College. He also presented a petition praying that House, in the event of the Queen's marriage, to require certain securities for preserving unimpaired the Protestant religion as by law cs:ablished. Mr. ROACH presented a petition from a parish in Cork, praying for the extension of election franchise and the reform of Municipal Corporations in that country. Mr. P LUMPTRE presented several petitions from va rious parishes in Kent, praying for Church extension. Mr. REDINGTON presented a petition in favour of Church Extension, and for the Reform of Corporations. Mr. BAYLIS presented a petition praying for inquiry into thn doctrines of the Socialists. Sir J. YARDE BULLER presented various petitions from Devonshire, praying for Church Extension, and for the discontinuance of any further grant to the College of Maynooth. Mr. H. GRATTAN presented a petition from Leith, praying for the extension of the elective franchise. Lord C. MANNERS presented a petition from Lei cester, praying the House to take into its consideration the insufficiency of religious instruction, and the necessity of Church Extension. , Mr. STEPHEN FRENCH presented a petition from the Medical Profession of Tipperary, praying for Medical Reform. Mr. O'CONNELL presented 17 petitions from places in Queen's County, Donegal, Couaty Down, Galway, and Westmeath, praying for Corporate Reform, and the Extension of the Suffrage in Ireland. Mr SMITH O'BRIEN presented a petition from some place in the county of Limerick, praying for an extension of the Suffrage, expressing the satisfaction Gf the petitioners at the good conduct of the Irish in England during the late disturbances—( A laugh from the Opposition benches) —and expressing a hope that there would be no return to a system of arbitrary Government. Mr. EMERSON TE NNE NT moved that the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Designs Copyright Bill, which stood for te-mm row, be postponed.—Ordered. Lord GEORGE LENNOX gave notice that, on Thursday, the 13th of February, be would move that there should be given to .the House the names of the Members of the Naval and Military Commission, and the number of days they had sat. Lord STANLEY gave notice that, on the 13th of Fe bruary, he would bring in a Bill to amend the laws re lating to the Registration of Voters in Ireland. Mr. EMERSON TENNE NT gave notice that on the 6th of February be would bring in a Bill for the purpose of regulating the rules regarding stage-carriages in Ireland. MT-. DARBY and Sir E. SUGDEN postponed their motions respecting the Messrs. Hansard and the Sheriffs. THE MINISTRY—ADJOURNED DEBATE. On the Order of the Day for the adjourned debate being read, Lord POWERSCOURT rose and said the result of the speeches last night must have been to convince her Majesty's Government of the truth of the old adage, " that .it was comparatively easy for a man to defend himself against his enemies, but that it re quired supernatural aid to guard him against his fi ( Hear, hear, and laughter from the Opposition.) Of all the speeches which had been delivered upon this debate none were more calculated to injure the Government than the two principal speeches on their side of the House—the speeches of the Noble Lord ( flow:ck) and of the Right Honourable Gentleman the new Secretary at War (Mr. Macaulay). If the Nobb Lord were in his place, he (Lord P.) would congratulate him upon the open and the manly manner in which he had avowed his reasons for resigning his post in the Government—tea sons, not from any personal motive, or from disappointed ambition, but on strong public grounds--( Dear, hear)— and he might congratulate gentlemen opposite on the sup port of the Noble Lord, coupled, as it had been, with a speech which must inevitably injure them most deeply. With regard to the other spo. eh to which he alluded, and to which he would but briefly refer, he must say that it was a new thing and, in his opinion, a most unpopular thing, for a - Member of the Cabinet to come down to that House, and boldly and openly declare that he upheld and admired that system of agitation to which the country owed all the evils it was now labouring under. —(Tory cheers.) He thought it was a new thing, and altogether an unprecedented thin. for a Cabinet Minister to conic down to the House and speak in terms of disparagement of the high and honourable office of a Privy Councillor, in terms which expressed that that high and honourable office was merely an empty name, and a nominal title of distinction.—( Cheers.) It appeared to him to be a new and anomalous thing for a Cabinet Minister to rise in his ' place in Parliament ostensibly for the purpose of answering a number of serious charges brought against the Adminis tration of which be was a Member,bytho Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Pembroke, and instead of alluding in the most distant manner—( Renewed cheering) —to any one of these charges, to fly off and talk about the Reforma tion—about some nondescript animal, half Roundhead, half Cavalier —about the times of Milton and Raleigh, and fifty other things, which had no more to do with the matter in hand than if he had talked of the sudden death of King Rufus, and entertained the House with a panegyric upon his heroic deeds.—(Cries of " Hear.") He ( Lord Powersecurt) thought the speech, evidently well digested—( Cheers from the Opposition)—concluded in a very odd and peculiar manner. If he saw any resem blance to any hero, it was the ancient Roman, who, as long as hef ound hostile weapons against him, defended himself with great bravery, but when be found a mortal blow had been inflicted by a friend, breathed out those memorable words, "et to Brute r lie trusted Hon. Gentlemen opposite would take example from that noble Roman. He (Lord Powerscourt) rejoiced at the oppor tunity of expressing his cordial support of the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Devonshire. It was a ..,, z ..., 40 . r f I \- / .._,lt tp. iv ... 1 , ~ + motion which he was convinced, whatever might be its fate, would meet with the approbation of all thinking class es . He believed he spoke the sentiments of the great consti tueney that he represented when he stated that the present state of the country. required a strong Governm ent _ a Government which would unite men of education, and the best wishes of both Houses of Parliament -_a Govern ment composed of men, who, by their talent, character, end influence would be enabled to carry on the affairs of tLie Government with success. The present co urse of af fairs, as he had before said, required a strong Government, and when he came down to that House, at th e commence ment of the debate, he confessed that h e thought no indi vidual on the other side of the House would have had the hardihood to assert that the present Government was en titled to that designation. He was satisfied that a weaker or a more inefficient Government never presided over the destinies of a great nation than the present. It could not be denied that the voluntary principle was the principle upon which the Government meant to act, but they did not think the time had yet arrived: when" they NEW POLICE ACT. Mr. GALLOWAY preserite7l;pctilOn from the inhabitants of Thavie's Inn, stating that they considered the present mode of watching the district was the best, and praying that they might be left under it.—Roferred to the Police Committee. THE SHERIFFS. Mr. WIRE presented the Report of the Committee on the case Of the Sheriffs, which was read. In the report the Committee stated the principal facts of the case, and then recommended a strong remonstrance to the House of Commons against the continued incarcera tion of the Sheriffs. Mr. WIRE said he did not think it necessary to do more than move the adoption of the Report, which having been agreed to, The RECORDER read the remonstrance, a draft of which had been drawn up by the Sheriffs. He described the election of the Sheriff; by the Corporation, and recited the oath which they took to truly serve all the Queen's writs, and preserve all the Queen's rights and franchises; and not to respite or delay the levying of any debt ; nor to yield any man's right unjustly ; and well and truly to execute all the laws and statutes of the realm.—( Hear, hear.) It stated, that in conformity to this oath they had duly levied under: a fieri facias, on the go ods o f th e Messrs. Hansard, to the amount of 6401. That they had been told that the House claimed the exclusive right of deciding their privileges ; and that one of those privileges had been violated. That the House had, by their Attorney- General, appeared in the Court of Queen's Bench, and pleaded :the privilege unsuccessfully. That the House had acquiesced in the judgment which now remained un reversed. That the .Justices of the Court had perempto rily directed the Sheriffs to pay over the money to Stock dale the plaintiff, in the action. That petitioners had dis. covered by the votes of the House that for refusing to re fund the money to the defendant, the Sheriffs had been committed by the House. That to have complied with such an order would have been to violate their oaths and interfere with the Queen's prerogative, by stay ing her Majesty's writs. That such a claim was subver sive of ell the laws and all the liberties of the realm, and that petitioners therefore prayed that the Sheriffs might be released—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") A DEPUTY wished to know if the Court were compelled to use the word "humble" in petitioning ?__( Laughter. ) The RECORDER said he considered the Court was bound to preserve the usual forms of respect in approaching the House.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. WIRE then said, even if the individuals now in the custody of the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Com mons, were not such ancient officers of the Corporation as the Sherills, he was persuaded that, from the zeal which the Corporation had always manifested in defence of the liberty of the country, the Court would unanimously adopt the spirited course recommended by the report.—( Hear.) The Attorney-General, on the part of the House, had, by pleading before the Queen's Bench, admitted the right of the Court directly to question their privileges.—( Hear, hear.) Another judgment of the Court, declaring the claim now made to be invalid, remained in full force, having been also submitted to by the House._(hear, hear.) He begged to inform the Court that the Court of Queen'e Bench could not travel out of the record, and the consequence was the Court was obliged to return the Sheriffs to the custody of the Sergeant at Arms. Now, if the Sheriffs had been the officers of the House of Com mons the case would have been different, but they were the officers of the Courts of Law, and we-c hound by oath to obey its orders.—( Hess, heal.) The men who iti high life had dared to calumniate the Judges, ought to have been committed for their contempt. If it was necessary the House should have this privilege, an Act el Parliament should be passed securing it to them. It was not an old privilege, but first claimed in 1637, and the effect of it would be to make the House a shop for the sale of libels. —( Hear, hear.) He had no doubt the Corporation would strenuously maintain their own rights and those of every Englishmen.—( Hear. ) Give the House this privileg e and it was one which would be exercised to the injury of the liberty of the people, and the subversion of the law. —( Hear, hear.) He moved, therefore, the petition now read be adopted, and presented to the House by the Lord Mayor, two Aldermen, and four Councilmen in the place of the Sheriffs. a course which was warranted by many precedents.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON rose to second the motion, and having called attentoa to the official duties of the Sheriffs, asked the Court to consider the circumstances the county of Middlesex would be in in the event of a disturbance, with out the Sheriffs to call out the posse comitatus. He also read and commented on the oath the Sheriffs had taken to show they were thereby unable to act otherwise than they had done. The question, then, was, whether the House had the power to interfere with the duties of the Sheriffs, or to demand of them to vio late their oaths. The result of this affair would be to shorten the duration of Parliament, and he hoped that when those who had voted for these illegal acts again presented themselves to their constituents, they would be rejected, as those who called upon others to violate the law were unfit to be legislators.—( Hear.) The resolution having been read, the th o a t f t e r the_(cti peoplees of b y h u a r n s d e Mr. GALL OWAY r ose , a n d ma i ntained the House of Commons had mere ly don e th e i r duty, and that they were upholdersthey had of f k th en on the privileges " Hear.") Had the House not made a return to the writ of Habeas Corpus he should have said their conduct was tyrannical, but they had done so, thereby showing their respect for the law. The Sheriff's were bound to obey the writ, but they should have paid the money into the Court of Queen's Bench, and then they might have defied the House to detain them a single day, but not having done so, the -House of: Commons had the power of ordering them to pay it to the defendant. He was persuaded a petition from the Court would have no effect, but that of confirming time House in the course they had taken. He maintained the Judges were the primary cause of the' de tention of the Sheriffs. The law was said to admit but of one interpretation ; but they found the Judges could never agree what the law was, as was shown but yesterday in the case of Frost. He therefore moved the previous question. Mr. PEWTRESS seconded it, because he thought it a ques tion that ought to be confined to at present to the House of Commons and the Judges of the land. It appeared to him the Sheriffs ought not to have been left to bear the whole brunt of the matter, and that it was most cowardly conduct of the Judges that they did not on the return to the Habeas Corpus discharge them and fight their own battle with the House of Commons. If he thought the petition would have any effect he would cor dially support it, but as as he did not he should not do so. Alderman BROWN said, he feared their forbearance had been greatly mistaken in high places—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") It was there said the interest of the matter had already died away. It was well remarked by a late eminent personage, that " unlimited power corrupts its possessor, and that where law ends tyranny begins." He begged to set the Court right as to the tran sactions, and having detailed them, asked if the Attorney -_ General thought the Judges were wrong, why he did not bring a writ of error. But that would not do ; the Attorney-General preferred to rest odthe ground of un defined privilege. Au Attorney-General, too, who had hitherto been " a Whig, and something more."—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Had he not, with a caution for which his countrymen are celebrated, abstained from stating on the warrant what the contempt was, knowing that the Judges could not travel out of the record ? lie trusted if this petition were rejected, the Court would ap proach the foot of the Thr one, and entreat her Majesty t o exercise her prerogative , and to libe rate the Sheriffs who were i nca rcerated for obeying her writs._( Hear, hear.) Mr . . STAGY was very . sorry that the previous question had been moved, as he wuhed that they had been unani mous upon such a question. He was sorry to see his friend on the floor, who had many years ago almost im mortalized himself by identifying himself with John Horne Tooke, now supporting general warrants. Mr. AL . G ()wee denied that he had ever supported genera wa rrants—he 1 hated them as much as ever, but he H o use of Commons te its supported the just privileges, which were necessary for the due p erf ormance of its d u ti es . Mr. STACY was gla d to hear his Worthy Friend was yet eci d 'dedly ag . ,a i nst general warrants. Was it not a general warrant upon which the Sheriffs we re now •incar cerated? Wh a t was it ? Did it state anything on the face of it which set out any offence for which they ought to be punished? Mr. STEVENS said the Corporation were now going to the House of Commons to demand the liberation of the Sheriffs—to beard them in their own House. Was it good for the people:that the House of Commons should have the power of investigating into abuses, of calling witnesses for the purpose o felucidating evidence on whi c h to found corrections of those abuses ? if that was necessary —then se was the power of publication. It was really a very great question. He wished the Sheriffs were released, but it must be remembered that they were in confinement for their own rebellion against the rights of the people, for he contended the rights of the Commons were the rights of the people as their representatives. Alderman Sir War. lIEYGATF. said the Corporation of London would have taken the same steps had it been the Sheriff of Gloucestershire i n place of their own Sheriffs, who were elected by the Livery of that city. It was said it might damage their own case if they offended the House of Commons. He denied it—it was their own spirited conduct which had saved them heretofore, and nothing but manly perseverance would preserve themselves ittt future. He hoped that this question, however, might and would lead to an amendment of the law defining the privileges, so that gentlemen in the situation cf the Sheriffs might know what they were doing. He contended that they were suffering, under a general warrant, one of the most odious of abuses, which had been got rid of in ()/T could declare the extreme limits to which they meant to carry their view.. He knew there were yet some 9f their supporters who , declared an adhesion to the Protestant establishments [of the country, but that adhesion was given in such a manner, so sleepy were they in their support, that they were more calculated to paralyse their energies than to advance the sacred cause, which they declared their anxiety to struggle for ;:with regard to the Church, he could not help advert ing to the policy which the Government had pursued ; he thought every effort they made to what they called sub mission was nothing more or less than a surrender of those scrod rights to the enemies of the Church. He knew full well that the large and thinking portion of the people out side that House would not suffer a continuance of such a Government ; there was also a numerous and highly respectable party in that House, who were perfectly free from any kind of bigotry and prejudice, these, backed by the stronger body outside of these walls, would form a phalanx so peiverful that it would be im possible for the Ministers to retain their places.—(Hear.) He was ready to admit that they carefully abstained from all outward expressions of dislike to the Church, but they also abstained from all expressions in its favour, and did not hesitate to give the party to which he had al luded all the increased weight of their expressive silence. became if they expressed openly their adhesion to that Church, they would run the risk of offending that party by which they were supported, and if they would insert the word Protestant into any of their state do cuments they would offend the ears of that nti; merous body who, if they were sincere disciples of the religion which they professed must ardently desire the abo lition of Protestanti s m.---( Hear, h ear . ) The voic .i of public opinion called for men to assume the reins of Go vernment who would not be ash ame d to announce their principles of religion, who would truckle not to any party, but who would manfully assert in a straight forward manner the principles of their policy— a party whs would stand not upon the breath of Court favour alone—not upon party claims alone—but would rest their claims upon the public confidence on their sound opinions and principles. This was the policy which they had pursued with regard to the Church which they were afraid to attack, but he considered their conduct in State alleles was even still more culpable. Under the names of forbearance and generosity they had displayed a despicable and culpable weakness.—(Hear, hear.) He would not allude, except in passing to the speech of the Noble Lord at Liverpool, or to that of the Attorney-General at Edinburgh, which had been so ably commented upon last night. He should allude to those subjects if they had not al ready been alluded to by Hon. Gentlemen on his side of the House. He should say, however, that it was unworthy and undignified on the part of Ministers of the Crown to go in imitation of an Hon. Gentleman opposite, on an agitating tour through the country.—( Hear.) There was one part of the speech of the Noble Lord which he would allude to —that was, his boast of a paltry economy in the secret ser vice money. He wondered whether the Noble Lerd, when ho made that 'boast, contemplated his coming to the House with the extravagant demand with which he came down a few nights ago ? he wondered whether it ever struck him, when he boasted of that paltry economy, that a judicious expenditure of that money might have saved the lives of many of those who fell at Newport, by obtaining for him a timely notice of the danger which was intended. There was another matter to which he should refer, and he begged leave to say, though Honourable Members opposite might laugh at it, it was a matter of great importance. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland ' had gone over to that country with the express intention of playing a game of coneihation. He had hoped to find a temporary cessation of party rancour, and yet, after having received while over -there the most generous support from political opponents, be had turned round on the principles on which he should have acted.—(Hear, hear.) He invited to his table the man most opposed to the principles on which he had himself professed to act. He invited that man who, a few weeks before that compliment from the repre sentative of the Queen had, not in one or two speeches, but almost every day .of his life, assailed with the most unfounded and unjustifiable abuse and in the most unwarrantable manner, not only all that was good and virtuous in the land, but the most sacred institutions of the country. These things might be called trifles ; he could not tell whether they were or not, but he held them as demonstra tions of principles on the part of her Majesty's Ministers. —(Hear.) But he asked what was the reason for this display of fellow feeling arid approbation on the part of Lord Ebrington ? It was that the Learned Gentleman, by means which his own conscience must justify, had attained a power in the State hitherto unenjo3ed by any other, so extensive as to be most dangerous to the State, and which so far from receiving favour from - any Government deserved the contrary, and ought to have been most seriously and steadily discountenanced. He was not about to state the pesition ;of that Learned Gentleman in the House, but none could doubt it was a very great one. He could look before him and around him, anti see every where men of the greatest wealth,the highest talent—aye even of ancient rank who held their stations in the House at his sovereign will —( Het r.) He might turn on one side of him and see the Honourable Gentleman, once the independent Member for the county of Middlesex—the bugbear of the Treasury benches—the festering thorn in the side of each succeee'- ing Chancellor of the Exchequer, and once the head of a respectable party in the House, reduced to the necessity of reeeiting rants among his satellites. ( Hear, hear.) No (Lute, too, the Learned Gentleman might reflect that there were many in that House whose names, by the force of his influence, would go down to po;terity, the candi- dates for'farne, in having support e d a G overnment which, . but for his upholding hand, must with them have moul dered into dust.—(Hear.) It could not be denied that this was a proud position. But was this a power that should receive homage from any Government ?---a power which nearly approached to the abtolutism of the imperial sway —( A laugh)—a power which exceeded, : nay] almost superseded the authority of the Crown in one important and integral part of the empire.—(Hear, hear.) \Vus it to be borne that the, Learned Member should have sixty seats in that House so entirely at his disposal as to be able to Bead these persons:utterly unknown till they arrived there ? Ana, indeed, if the boast of a priest at an Election for the ccunty of Meath were to be relied upon, he could as easily return cabbage stocks to that House. —(Laughter.) Power such as that must be fatal to the peace of the em pire in the hands of any individual, but in the hands of one who was continually raving at all our best institutions-- who was the sworn foe of the Protestant Church in Ire -1 land---( Hear, hear)—who had agitated, and who ' again threatened, the agitation of the repeal of the Union, which would be the dismemberment of the em pire—( Hear, hear)—a man who lost no opportunity of attacking private character—( Hear, hear)—who to-day praised the man to the skies, whom to-morrow he loaded with execrations—in the hands of such a man this power must be so dangerous that it should be the object of eve:y Government that wished to maintain order and HOUSE OF COlll.llON' JAN. 29. peace, and to uphold the dignity of the laver—to ADJOURNED DEBATE. discountenance and discourage, instead of giving it the Mr. LITTON (in continuated from our Second apparent sanction of their exalted station.

That remained to be decided by the public out of doors, to which he, with the Mlle Lord, was ready to defer The Nettled Lord then attacked the Government as enc mics to the Church, yet he could not produce one single measure which the Government had ever introduced which tended to injure that Church ; no, but they could produce many measures passed by that House by her Majesty's pre sent Government on the subjoct of the Church, every one of which tended to confirm and strengthen the principle on which it was founded in the hearts of the people. The other topic which the Noble Lord had alluded to was the omis. sion of the word Protestant. He (Mr. F. M.) would leave that to be decided between the Noble Lord and the Right Hon. Leader of his party. 'Fbo question was mooted on the first night of the Session by the Right 1/or. Ba ronet the Member for the University of Oxfcr3, and although the leader of the party opposite addressed the House, he never once alluded to that point ; and although the leader of the party, in another place, had introduced the word into the Address, whether it gas that they were afraid of a majority against them, or whether it was that they were afraid of making an unfavourable opinion out of doors —they did not vet:titre even to suggest the amendment in that liouse.—(oll, oh.) The Noble Lord then alluded to the speech of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, and alluding to some speeches of h's made at Liverpool, be claged him with bring there upon a tour of agitation. Was a 'Secretary of State to be debarred from visiting one of the greatest commercial capitals in the kingdom—not in his public capacity, but as a private character, without being charged with being on a tour of agitation. Was it to be said that a Minister of the Crown was to be debarred from hearing with his own cars, and seeing with his own eyes the statement of that country, the internal affairs of which it was his duty to con;roul. All the rest of the Noble Lord's ;speech had referred to the affairs of Ireland. The diener-tabl e of the Lord Lieutenant had been again served up--( Hear, hear, and laughter)—and various ether matters had been mentioned its connection with Ireland ; but he should leave these matters to be discussed by other Honourable Mem bers more immediately connected with that country. —( Hear.) The principal reason of his rising was to make some remarks which he thought called for by what fallen from v the tu G su c e n c lle b l y na h n er ryi opposite, ajesty tt . h o r o e v g e a rn r d to the meat in. this country: The . first point of att a ck on th a t had internal policy subject against his Noble Friend had been the appoint ment of Magistrates under the Municipal Corporations Bill, and to that point he should first address himself . They perfectly well knew that when the English Municipal Corporation Bill was first introduced into that House it contained a c:atize in which the opinions of the Noble Lord were openly and boldly stated, that it WAS proper to give to the Members of the Town Council power of recommending to the Crown the persons who should be appointed to fill the offices of Magistrates of those Bo roughs. That clause was struck out, and eventually the Bill was passed without it. But did not his Noble Friend , state to the House that he should still continue to act or, that principle.—(Hear, from the Opposition.)—Did not his Noble Friend say so. All he asked was an answer ha the affirmative, and since it was admitted that the Neale Lord had said so, he should say no more shout it. But after the passing of the Municipal Corporation Bill it became necessary to appoint illagistrates for these various towns. They had heard much of the, manner in which the Noble Lord had betrayed She trust which the Crown bad reposed in him---lt was easy, however, to deal in generalities but it was not so easy sometimes to lay one's finger on particular in stances of abuse. Such had been the ale on the pre. sent occasion. The House was net perhaps aware of the number of Magistrates appointed after the passing of s . a. e . Municipal Bill by the N late Lord. That number enioaered to 1,000, and cut of that 1,000 appointed to adrainister jdtice in the different 'municipal towns of the coun try, not one single complaint had even been made in the House save the two which . ha. 4 been alluded to in the ecure of the debate e Ile first regarded an unhappa man now under senteoee of death—the next was that of the Member for Birrnioghttea. With both of those cases lie would prod to deal. Out of the number of Magistrates appointed, more he should observe had been removed for misconduct, save the un fortunate individual to whom, he bad referred : and out of the entire number, twenty-three only had resigned their Commissions, and those 23 had dose so for the most part, because they found that their duties as Magistrates interfered with their business. (Hear, hear.) He thought that if it bad been proved, persons who were to adruiiiistorj or if the fact had been true that his Noble Friend had not paid proper attention to the apointment of they might derlve a proper and I:is:alder:li: ithor'hslti in a way which the people could confid e in, and from which %horn complaints would have found their wa in the there were eneraiea enough of Government legal c eth e benchesllaw. convinced that no topic could be more satisfactory yen was to them. lie was, therefore, justified in saying, that caseaffording Frost, any lie details ad tt this justify isto sa say that it was early todHohuese Mahe general complaints without n U t With res appointmentpec ttot the that individual (his Noble Friend) was influenced by the opinion of the Town Council, and of respectable indivi duals by whom that person must have been known. That was the fact, which he thought showed that hi s Noble Friend had pursued a liberal and proper course, calculated to excite, on t h e part of the people living in those municipal towns, a greater respect for the luw, be cause that law was, persons whose impartiality was undonbtcd, when those appointments took place, a recommendatio n came from the town of Newport containing the names of twa gentlemen 'Mr. Brewer and Mr. Frost. His Noble Friend received shortly after a statement in &ejection to Mr. Frost's appointmtmcnt. and conuslted these in whom he placed dependance and the Lord Lieutenant of the ,connty, with respect to their opinion, whether Mr. Frost might or might not, with propriety, be made a magistrate, the answer was there was no reason why such should not be the case, and consequently on such authority his Noble Friend appointed the two gentlemen recommended by the Council, the one being Mr. Brewer, a strong political opponent of her Majesty Government—and the other, Mr. Frost, of whom, notwithstanding the insinuation to the contrary, he must say that. so long as he performed the office no instance ap heard of his having strewn partiality to any person, or having acted in any manner contrary to justice. But Mr. Frost betook himself to other courses, and mixed himself up with political meetings of the Chartists, where speeches by himself and others, whichas soon as this came to the ears of the Government, at once appeared to render Mr. Frost unworthy, if guilty of such charges, of retaining der Majesty's commission. It might be objected to h;s Noble Friend that he did tint dismiss Mr. Frost on the first intimation of this. That miget be the justice of Honourable Gen,lerrien opposite - but it was th e pr ac ti ce of his N o bl e F r i en d on such occasion, and make inquiry, and give the parties an opportunity of being beard be fore they were condemned, such an opportunity was given to Mr.:Frost on the 16th January, 1839, and as he did not answer that inquiry satisfactorily, be was removed in consequence from the CommisSion of the Peace.
