The aleration in the duties makes it Is 3d per cwt more on raw Sugar of all kinds. This afternoon buying was restricted in British Plantation Sugar, in consequence of the short supply ; there was a good deal of inquiry from both grocers and refiners, but owing to the above cause, the purchases amounted to only 130 hhds and tierces, and buyers were compelled to pay an advance on the rates of Friday of 6d to Is ; grey Nevis sold at 69s to 72s : there is scarcely any thing of brown quality to be had under 67s per cut. REFINED.—For all descriptions of Refined goods prices improved, standard lumps readily fetching 87s to 87s 6d, good and fine Tillers 87s to 90s, middling to good brown lumps 84s to 86s, low ditto 83s to 83s 6d, and there is nothing of patent goods to be had under 87s per cwt. Treacle patent and the best old make selling at 34s 6d to 375, and common at 345. Pieces, fine sorts, 73s to 745, and very fine 'lbs. Bastards, common sorts, at 59s to 625, other kicus at 63s to 655. For bonded crushed Sugar, first quality, 34s 9d is paid, and 34s 6d for second quality. Loaves, 10 lbs, at 33s to 33s 6d, and 14 lbs 37s to 37s 6d. Treacle at I4s. Bastards at IBs to 20s, and at 22s to •275. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 32a 9d a 33s here, and 313 6d on board at Amsterdam. To-day prices are rather higher, standard lumps fetching 87s 6d to 88s ; nothing of brown goods under B:3s per cwt. Treacle at 34s to 375. Bonded Crushed Sugar at 34s 6d for first qua lity. Loaves have dropped to 36s 6d to 38s for 10 and 14 lbs. AIAURITIUS.—This afternoon the trade evinced much desire to do business; and 6,260 bags at public sale were all disposed of with avidity, at prices 6d to Is above those of Friday ; good yellow went at 70s 6d to 71s 6d, good middling 69s to 70s, mid dling and 1... v middling 67! 6.1 to 68s 6d, fine brown 6656 d to 675; two lots very low dark 57s to 57s 61 per cent. EAST INDlA.—Bengal of common quality has been much sought after by private contract. Good white sorts have been in steady demand; fine white at 72s to 72s 6d; middling to good, 69s to 7ls 6d ; damps and washed, 600 to 7ls 6d ; 15 casks low bright brown fetched 57s per cwt. Manilla has maintained its former currency. In Java former rates rule. In Siam prices remain firm. This afternoon Bengal was in good request by the grocers, and 600 bags at auction sold readily at stiffer prices; middling yellow fetched 68 ito 68 6d : soft, 67s to 67s 6d ; damps and washed, 67s to 68s 6d per cwt. This afternoon few purchases were made by private contract in Brazil or yellow Havannah, but prices underwent no variation. In white. however , a fair business was transacted at the rates quoted. At public sale 230 bags Santa Martha, and 10 chests Bahia were offered; the former sold at fair rates; viz, good white but damp, 29s to 3ls ; washed , 27 s 6d ; the latter taken in at 24s for grey. .. COFFEE.—British Plantation of clean quality has maintained previous rates, the supply being very short, and the few parcels offered have found buyers ; a large quantity, however, could only be disposed of, but at lower rates ; unclean sorts have sold heav ly, although offered 3s a 4s under previous prices. This afternoon the home trade showed little desire to buy any kind of Coffee, and by private contract but few purchases were made, there are, however, no sellers at any forth de cline, good ordinary Ceylon is not to be had under 893, and good Java 675.

In Olive prices are firm. T E A—The market for Free Trade Tea was very quiet all last week, and parties who were disposed to realize were com pelled to submit to rather lower rates. The monthly Tea Sales commenced yesterday. To-day the Tea Sales were suddenly brought to a conclu sion, by the withdra,val of nearly all that remained for sale ; the merchants generally were determined not to take the late reduced rates tor Black Tea, and the trade on the contrary were not disposed to pay even those prices, excepting in a few instances, the small parcels disposed of were again at rather lower rates. Green kinds met with a dull sale ; Ti.vankay was, however, again all bought in fully up to last sale, but the small quantity of other kinds dispcsed of was at rather lower quota- tions. The reduction on the rates of the April sales is as follows : Congou IP, to 2d, Hyson 2d to 2id, Caper 3d to sd, Impe rial and Gunpowder 2d, and nearly all other kinds lid per lb. Twankay wet e all taken in at the rates of that period. Out of the quantity put up, amounting to 19,609 packages, the small quantity of 6,200 were actually disposed of, the chief part sent here on consignment; 3,400 of the quantity sold consisted of Caper.

This afternoon small purchases were made in P. Y. Candle on the spot at 49s 3d for the first quality ; for delivery in the last three months a good many contracts were made at the rates quoted above. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.— lmporters Of West India Rum have refused to sell excepting at former rates, but the demand has been very limited since we last wrote, the sales not exceeding 150 puns, the chief part strong Demerara, at 53 8d per gallon.

The desire to take 70 to 40 between the Melody colt (now called Songster) and Launcelot, as no ticed by us on Friday, induced a general opinion, at that time, that a change in the premiership was not improbable. The Launcelut party would Lot extend their offers yester day beyond a fraction above 3 to 1 ; however, the appear ance of the doings in London, last evening, has produced the changes which will-be found from the following limited number of horses now worth a thought. We may add that although the room was well attended at noon, there was co energy perceptible, nor any sums of moment laid out : THE DERB'. 70 to '2O agst Mr. Etwall's Songster—taken-3 to 1 offered after in various sums sto 1 agst Lord Westminster's 11;uncelot--offered to be taken this evening st, to I agst Duke of Cleveland's Theon—take 7 in to 10 agst Lord Albemarle's Assa:sin—taken 20 to 1 agst Lord Kelburne's Pathfinder 25 to 1 agst Captain Gardnor's Monops—taker. 33 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Velvet colt—offered 40 to 1 agst Colonel Anson's Black Bess 40 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Gambia—taken 1000 to 10 agst Mr. Clarke's Benjamin—offered Offers to take 8 to 1 Assassin or /3enjamin win (7 off.); three b2at the field and throw Velvet colt in. Offers to take 2 to 1 Melody cr Theon win, or 2 to 1 Melody or Assassin'; or to take four fifties to one Scott's lot beats Launcelct ; 100 to 5 taken on Gambia and Maroon couple?. THE MANCHESTER CrP. —Since our last observations little has been done on this race ; 4 to 1 is offered against the Shadow, 5 to 1 13allona, or 5 to 1 each, taking both bets; 8 to 1 against the Dean, (off.); 10 to 1 against the Cripple, (off.); 10 to 1 against Apothecary, (off.) The field against any four; we have seen 13‘.11.n5, Shadow, the Dean, and the Cripple, Lacked to win. THE Si'. LEGER.—NO diem v. Crucifix ; 200 to 14 offered against Launcelot, it would be taken to 12. Cenim:ttee on the Pcor-law Act. Amendment Bill he would move a clause exempting stock in trade from rating. Mr. HUME gave notice of an address to her Majesty in respect to the appropriation of Church property has vc under:3l;a). Ire] tad was quite as fit for the franchise as England or S :otland ; and in the selection cf representatives, since they had the power of choosing their ovn re v „ ezentatives, they had chosen men who were more' inclined to popular opinions than the people of England hid done, and therefore he would say thy were wiser, and the better entitled to an extension of the franchise, at least, equal with England and Scotland. The effecteof the Bill of the Noble Lord would be to re duce the present too limited number of electors in Ireland more than one half.—( Cries of " Hear.") Had they given him a little light he would have referred the House to some documents—(Laughter)—but as it was, he would say that in his opinion every one contributing to the taxes of the country, end called moon to serve her Majesty in the militia, the army, and the navy, ought to have his interests protected, and had a right to participate in the election of those to whom were delegated the destinies of the country. Those who did not were no better than slaves in the West Ind'res.— (Cries of " Oh, oh.") He repeated it that they were as much slaves in England as the Bleeks were in Ja maica, for neither had the frahchise, and both were obliged to obey the laws made by those in whose election they had no voice. Those who were fur restrictieg the Irish franchise ought to think how they could retain any hold on the affections of the Irish people. —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member went on to allude to a tabular return he had of the relative constituencies of England, Scot land, and Ireland, and the House would see the depressed condition of Ireland. ( Here the Rude light, in process of illumination. became suddenly darkened, The Hon. Member remarked that he could not see it.-- (A laugh.) lo England there was one elector in 17 ; in Scotland one in 32; in Ireland one in 85 —( Hear, bear. ) He had made an ahstract of these returns, and he would read them to the House, to show the disproportion there wis in the possesion of the franchise between England and Ireland. He had placed in comparison counties of simi lar extent and population, and he found that while Mid dlesex has 65,000 males and 18,000 electors, Kerry had 63,000 males and but 12,000 electors ; Yorkshire hid 156,000 males and 29,000 electors, and Cork 171,000 males and but 3 900 electors; and Huntingdon t 000 males and 2,700 electors, while Kildare had 27,000 males and but 1,157 electors.. Those were cir cumstances which he thought the House should take into cons ideration before they adopted the measure of the Noble Lord, Ile had made other comparisons to which he as islied to call their attention.—( Hear, hear, hear.) 'There were five English counties, those of Cumberland, Lancashire, Northamptonshire, ‘Vor cestershire and Wiltshire, which with a population of 1,440,000 inhabitants, returned twenty Members to the House of Commons, while five Irish counties, with a po pulation of 2,166,000 souls, sent only ten Members?— ( Hear, hear.) He thought that the House should nut neglect the consideration of ' such facts. He found that the Legislature had done little for Ireland even of late years, with the exception of the passing of Catholic EmanCipation, which was a boon for which he thought the people of that country was deeply indebted to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Leland was progressing in wealth, and was daily improve ing.—( Hear.) The people only wanted equal justice, and to hare the laws which gave confidence in England and Scotland extended to that country.—( Hear, hear.) If that were done, there would be a field fee the employ ment of English capital, by which the wealth and great ness of this country would be increased.—( Hear, hear.) It was lamentable to see eight millions of people unable to make use of the natural advantages they possessed, in consequence of the long series of misgovernment which they had suffered. Were there not enough of causes for discontent in that country already, without the Noble Lord's creating this new source ?—( Hear, hear.) He would not believe that the Noble Lord did not think that his Bill would confer benefits upon Ireland. But he ( Mr. Hume) did not think so. Ile agreed rather with the peo ple of helm's], who believed it to be a Bill of disfranchise ment.—(l-lear, hear.) Ireland was now suffering tinier the consequences of former misrule, and the denial of those institutions which the people had a right to enjoy.-- ( Hear, hear.) They were also burdened with a Church, such as neither England nor Scotland had to main tain.—( Hear, hear.) Were not these things enough to render Ireland uneasy ? —(Cries of " Hear, tear.") True, they had not enough to prevent the establishment of that quietness and order which was necessary to encourage the employment of capital ?—(Hear, hear.) He found the Irish, when employed in this country, worthy of con fidence, active, ready, and industrious. Was it not la mentable that in their own country alone they should be told by this Parliament they were unworthy of equal rights ? There was also at this time an effort made to raise a religious hatred against them in this country. Letters were written, aye, and by persons who supported the Noble Lord and this Bill, to get up meetings and petitions for the, repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Act—( Hear, hear)—men whom Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite associated with, and, as the public journals in form us, Members of the Legislature themselves. The Hon. Member for Kent whomhedidnop h t e s e e e ei e n s h m is ig p h la t c h e e , bad spoken upon the question, and if his s taken as a proof of the opinions he entertained, the people of Ireland had little to expect from his clemency, for he said that there could not be peace, and there ought not to be peace, until the Emancipation Bill was repealed, and until the penalties against the Roman Catholics were re enacted. It was impossible to look at all those proceed ings without feeling there was a lurking feeling of perse cution existing towards that country, and he would say, that anything that gave increased power to that dominant and persecuting party, only added fuel to flame, of 'his , content, and insubordination. He agreed that the pre sent was as much an English as an Irish question, because it was most important to England that Ireland should be well governed, and that a perfect equality should be main tailed throughout the whole empire, in order that peace, quiet, and tranquillity, might be preserved. Therefore, concurring with his constituents, and agreeing with the great majority of the people of Ireland that the present was a Bel of pains and penalties, he should never consent to forwarding it one single step. On the contrary, he snould place every obstacle in its way that the forms of the House al lowed. On that ground he should heartily concur in op• posing the Bill to the utmost of his power: Mr. LUCAS said he wished the Hon. —or, rather, he might say the Irish—Member—(hear)—who spoke last had favoured Ireland with a visit during some of the last registrations ; he would have seen and heard things which would materially have altered his opinions. The Hon. Member complained of the inadequacy of the Irish suffrage, but that was not now the question—(Hear) —and the Hon. Member's arguments, which had been mainly for Universal Suffrage, were therefore irrelevant upon that point. It was incorrect to draw a parallel of that sort between Ireland and England. The state of agriculture and the extreme subdivision of the land accounted for the paucity of the electors compara tively with those of England.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would far prefer having a 51. franchise placed on a lair and proper footing than he would have a 101. franchise with the right of the voter not proved, as was the case under the present system of registration. He wished the franchise was placed on some defined principle, such as the Poor-law valuation, or the Ordnance valuation. It was clearly necessary that some amendment in the present sys tem should take place, and until Hon. Members opposite agreed to a different franchise, his ( Mr. L.'s) aide of the House were justified in voting for the Noble Lord's Bill. A great deal had been said about the vexatious results that would ensue from the Bill if passed into a law, but he begged to remind Hon. Gentlemen of a circumstance which he had not heard adverted to in the course of the debate, that under the present system claims were made not merely once a year, but four times a year ; and parties were sub jected to the annoyance of having to serve places on ap parent claimants, because claims were put forward which were never attempted to be substantiated.— ( Hear, hear.) That vexation would be got rid of by the present Bill, because instead of the notices being served four times a year, they would be served only once a year, and thus parties would be saved expense and trouble.— ( Hear, hear.) He was sorry to have troubled the douse on the present occasion, and he really thought the subject had been so much discussed, that the division might be taken at once.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. REDING TON opposed the Bill. It appeared to him the attempt was to repeal the Reform Bill, and to put the Irish voter to all that vexation and expense to which he was subjected, before the passing of that great measure. He objected to the Noble Lord's Bill upon principle, and should oppose its going into Committee, be cause, whatever amendments were made, his objections to she Bill could not be removed. A great deal had been stated with regard to the frauds practised under the pre sent system. He did not wish to perpetuate any of those frauds or perjuries, but still the remedy might be worse than the disease, and a man's head was not to be cut off because he had a head-ache — s A laugh)—the frauds and perjuries complained of by Hun. Gentlemen opposite were not confined to Ireland merely. At a late election it had been found that eight or nine persons had voted who possessed no right whatever to do so. Similar occur rences had taken place at Rochester ; and at Petersfie:d an individual had for twenty years voted for Members of Parliament, who never possessed the franchise at all.- - ( Hear, hear.) It was unjust and unfair to the Irish voter, after he bad established his right to vote before the Judges of the land, to call upon him to re-establish it in the man ner proposed by the Noble Lord's Bill. In conclusion, he begged to state that he could not agree to it, because he believed the clauses were opposed to the principle stated in the preamble, and that it was a Bill to disfranchise the people of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GA SKEL L was not surprised that her Majesty's Government should oppose the 13111, but he was surprised, after the second reading had been agreed to by a majority of 16—not a very small majority in the present state of parties—that they should interpose delay and difficulties.— ( Hear.) He was also surprised that the Government had furnished no more plausible or specious argument for the course they bad adopted than those which had been stated. by the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General.—(Cheers.) furnish itshhe u u m n l e e n s t s s, theythey wouldee ul d bettersuumpoenit, t h a a r t g branding the Noble they mightH o u House dependwith the other.—( Hear, hear.) It was not . bra g be beaten upon that stage of the Bill, as they were upon Lord, the framer of the Bill, with epithets that reflected disgrace only upon those who used them, and still less was Ch eers)—that it eulogy upon the Hon. and Learned Member fur Dublin, Crown—( from the first Min ister of the would induce the people of England, or their representa tives, to place any additio nal confidenCe in the,,Govern ment, or to reject the B ill in its present stage.—(Hear, hear.) The greater the consciousness of weakness ber trayed in those quarters, the stronger would the conviction be that there was something in the present syitem of Irish registration that would not bear the light, and that the pre sent Bill, or a similar measure, must pass.---( Hear. ) He had not yet heard it controverted that abuses did exist under the present system, and was it denied that those abuses had existed for many )ears.—(Cries of Yes," on the Ministerial Benches.) What! was it denied by the Government ?—( Hear, hear.) Was it denied b y the Law Officers of the Crown who had introduced similar mea sures ?—( Hear, hear.) Was it denied even so late as 1839, when a similar Bill was introduced by th e H on. Member ' for Limerick ?—( Hear, bear.) The grievance was all but STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCIIESTER.—There was smother gloomy market yes terday, and prices of yarn were generally about fth lower than on the preceding Tuesday, with a very moderate business doing. The market for cloth of kinds was also very quiet, and, notwitstanding the extensive turn-out at Stockport, which has, to some extent, diminished the supplies of power-loom cloth, the prices of the preceding week were barely supported. , IIoCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, ,MONDAY, MAY 18.— There has been a tolerably 'fair &wand to-day for the coarser-kinds of flannels, while those of a finer description have not been so much inquired after. Manufacturers are desirous to obtain a little advance in prices ; but the buyers have generally resisted it, though they have been willing to give the former prices. There has been a better demand for wool ; prices have been firm, and rather looking up. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MAY 19. We have no change of importance to notice in this day's market. The de mand continues very steady, and prices remain firm, with a tendency upwards. Orders are increasing; and, con sequently, work is more plentiful. Business in the ware houses is an average for the season. Goods of the middle and finer descriptions are most in request. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAT 20.

Lord TE IGN M 0 UTH presented a petiti• n from Mary lebone, the prayer of which, at the request of Mr. Gisborne, was read at length by the Clerk. It stated that Lord John Russell had taken advantage of the excited state of the country to introduce an unconstitutional gene d'armerie, or police force, for the purposes of centralization—:hat he had abused the power intrusted to him, and had endea voured to sap and undermine the institutions of the coun try. The petitioners prayed that the Noble Lord might be impeached.—( A laugh.) Mr. GISBORNE inquired if the Noble Lord (Teign mouth) had given notice to the Noble Lord, the Secre tary of the C loMes of his intention to present the peti- tion - ? Lord TEIGNMOUTIi answered in the affirmative, and he thought there was nothing unconstitutional in the prayer of tie petition, and, therefore, that it was his duty to present it. The A 1 TO RNE Y-GENERAL assented to the Noble Lord's opinion of the Constitutional nature of the prayer of the petition, and said if it had been placed in his hands he should have felt it his duty to present it.

It was agree( that the Committee should have assembled this morning at eleven o'clock, but the parties interested in the measure after waiting till one o'clock had found that a Committee could not be formed. He therefore moved that some arrangements should be made to ensure the attendance of the Members of the Committee. Mr. ESTCOURT said that the absence of the Mem bers was to be attributed to the unfavourable day which had been appointed for their meeting. . After a f..v; words from Sir G. STRICKLAND and Mr. WARD, the motion was agreed to. Mr. WODEHOUSE presented four petitions from Norfolk in favour of Church Extension.

Mr. GRATTAN—WiII it effect Ireland? Mr. WARBURTON—Yes. Mr. WA K L EY—Will my Hon. Friend move the re-ap pointment of the Cm:induce.

Mr. WARBURTON—Yes. Mr. B A INE S wished to ask the Under- Secretary for the Home Department v‘hether!he returns relative to Church and Chapel accommodation were ready to be put kto the hands of Hon. Members in time for the discussion, of to morrow I—it had a most important bearing upon the question. Mr. F. MA ULE said the returns were not yet ready, and even if they were laid on the table of the House that day, they could not be in the bands of Members by to morrow. Mr. BAINES inquired whether the results of the Returns might not he laid on the table. Lord J. RUSSELL said mangy• complaints of inamt. racks had been received, and he did riot think they ought to he produced as bring relied upon. The Orders of the Day were then fixt:d for other days, according to arrangement. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS' BILL (IRE- LAND). On the Order of the Day being read for the adjourned (lobate, Mr. HUME rose and said, that having last night, or rather this morning, propos e d the adjournment of this debate, he was anxious to state to the House his reasons for having taken that step. He had several times during the debate endeavoured to catch the Speaker's eye, and not having been succcsAul up to one o'clock, he was anxious to prevent a division on the main question, knowing there were several Irish Members anxious to express their senti ments, and that the Hon. Member for Dublin had not done so, and he therefore proposed the aThurnment of the debate. He quite agreed with the Noble Lord, as to its being pessible that the power possessed by in dividuals of impeding any measure by dividing the House, might be carried to excess.—(Hear, hear.) But if there was an occasion which called for the exercise of that power, he thought it was that to which tide Bill gave rise. He did not think, therefore. thet the . Noble Lord was warranted in throwing out reflections on those who had endeavoured to postpone the discussion of the question. He thought, that in every measure of great importance, it was essential that hasty decisions should not be come to, and that those to whom the people con fided their interests, as was the case with the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, should not, at any rate, be deprived of the opportunity of freely and fully expressing their sentiments. It must be known to Menibers on both sides of the Ilouse, that at all the public meetings held in Ireland in reletion to the subject, the Hon. and Learned Member for Dubin had been re quested to oppose the further progress of the Bill by every meow in his power. He, therefore, considered that he himself, and those who had acted with him, were perfectly justified in the course they had taken, and he could assure the Noble Lord, that if ever a question of equal importance should arise, he would never hesitate to have recourse to a similar proceeding. It ap peared to him that the question was considered on too narrow grounds. The Noble Lord on introducing the Bill had pretended that its object was to improve the franchise in Ireland, and to prevent fraudulent voters from being placed on the list; in short, gave, as he ( Mr. Hume) understood the Noble Lord, full effect to the votes of those who were really entitled to the franchise. It ap peared to him, from every report he bad received from Ireland upon the subject that the character given of the Hdl last night by the Hon. and Learned Member the So licitor.Gencral for England, was a proper and correct one. It appeared to him to be in every sense a Bill which would limit the suffrage in Ireland, and that it would be impossible so to amend it in Committee as that it could be attended with any other effect. He contended that if there was one point on which the public voice of Ireland had been more decidedly manifested than on an. other, it was in their opposition to the present measure. He would not say that in some points the feelings from which that opposition arose might not be exaggerated, but the Noble Lord would allow him to say, that anything coming from him was looked upon with great suspicion by the people of Ireland. They could not forget that the Noble Lord had formerly intro duced the Coercion Bill—a measure more calculated to estrange their confidence from him than any, perhaps, that had ever been introduced by the Minister of any country. The people, therefore, recollected the Noble Lord's at tempt to destroy the civil liberty of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) They ceuld not forget that, and he hoped they never would forget it. That ei as not the only Bill which the Noble Lord attempted to pass to destroy their • Ti bet tics— An lioN. MEMBER—It was not his Bill at all. t 1 r. HON' E—Yes ; the Noble Lord bad generally the credit of it, and he ( Mr. Hume) believed he was the author of it though others participated in it.—( Hoar and a laugh.) lie ( Mr. Hume) alwas s blamed those who were weak enough to concur in the Coercion Bill.— ( Laughter.) When the Cabinet of which the Noble Lord was a Member was broaten up, exp:anations were given which exonerated those who voted in the minority upon that Bill. The Noble Lord had also introduced a Bill to de prive the people of Ireland of the power of possessing arms as if they were unworthy of being intrusted with the possession of arms..—( Hear, hear.) He was sorry that the Hon. Member for Caithness was not in his place—( Cheers and laughter)—for, as an oil Radical, he did not like to see those changes in political principles taking Placc• — (ilear, hear.) He hoped the Honour able Member would come in before he had done, that he might call to his recollection some of those sentiments which he last night professed, and at which he ( Mr. Hume) must express his utmost wonder. The Hon. Member was a man of good sense in some re spects—( A laugh)—and of great consideration, and what he had to say he did not say " off hand, like some others of us" —( A laugh) but he came down prepared, and what he had to say was not to be taken as ordinary matter or undigested observations. The Hon. Member for Caithness, and Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, said that this Bill was a boon to the people of Ireland. He was sorry that the party who were to receive the boon did not consider it as such. The people of Ireland, on the contrary, regarded it as part of the same policy which they had experienced from the Nsble Lard before, in his Coercion Bitl and others ; and surely no boon was ever received by any people with so much reluctance. If ever there was a Bill against which the sense of the peop:c of Ireland ass strongly expressed, this was that Bill.—( Hear, hear.) He could speak with perfect confidence so tar as regarded the city which he had the honour to represent. Petitions had been forwarded from every parish in the city of Kil kenny, and he had been requested to cffer every opposition to its progress, consistent with the rules of the House, It was pleasing to him to concur in the wishes of his con. stituents, and he should endeavour so far as in him lay, to give full t Met to them. He should be sorry to differ from his constituents, nor did he feel himself bound to follew their opinion on all occasions, but when 'they were right, as he believed them to be on the present oc casion, he was glad to co-operate with them in resisting an insidious attempt to interfere with the privilege to which they were entkled. Forty years had rolled over Ireland since the people of that country had been told that they would have a community of interests and an equality of laws with the English people. Instead of that they had been trampled on and persecuted. The Noble Lord certainly did attempt to destroy the master grievance of the Irish people—an overgrown Church Esta blishment. He had reduced a portion of the useless Bishop rics of that country ; but to the present hour Ireland stood in a different situation front either England or Scotland ; and he would say that the people of Ireland ought not, and ho trusted they never would be satisfied until they were placed on an equal footing with the people of England and Scotland, not only as re garded civil rights, but also es regarded religious establishments. Up to the present moment the Parlia ment had refused to place Irishmen on the same footing as Englishmea and Scotchnien, and in England and Scot laud a majority of the population belonged to the Establishment, and therefore, he did not quarrel with the continuance of establishments in these countries; but be trusted the time would soon come when the people of Iteland would no longer suffer the existence of that master grievance, from which th e y de r ived no benefit whatever. They were taking a wa y from the people of I re l an d t h at right to a hich, by the Union, they were entitled. They had refused them that justice which had been °mended to E n gland and Sco tland as re g arded Munici p al Corpora teif:s.—( Hear , he ar.) Was it possible th a t anyt hi ng else but discont ent with the conduct of those who thus sated in Parliame nt could aris e in the minds of the people of li-eland? Had they not a legitimate cause of discontent ?—( Hear, hear.) And he would ask the Noble Lord why he introduced this Bill to add to that discontent, by taking from the people of Ireland the little remnant of justice which had been done them by t I e Reform Bill. Could the people of Ireland see with patience this attempt of the Noble Lord to deprive them o f the little liberty left them by the Reform Bill, to give them over into the hands of those who had ever studied the benefits of the few at the expense of the many, and to place them in de pendence again cn that party who had, until recently, ruled Ireland with a rod of iron. He would tell the Noble Lord that the Bill was calculated, a:.d that its object was to reduce the number of the electors of Ireland beyond the present scale, and to deprive the people of that influence to which they were legitimately en titled,—( Hear.) The Noble Lord declared the object of his Bill to be to clear the Irish register of improper persons, but what said the people of Ireland as to the effect which would be produced by the Bill of the Noble Lord?—( Hear, hear.) Why that it would occasion such vexation, plague, litigation, and expense that it would not be worth while for one-half of the consti tuency of Ireland to take out their franchise. He would only allude to one remark which had been made by tho Noble Lord the Member for Northumberland last night as that Noble Lord was not now in his place, had he been present he should have commented on w hat had fallen from him at some length, but as he w as absent he world merely make one remark. The Noble Lord had stated that the people of Ireland were not fit for an enlarged franchise. Now what right had the Noble Lord to make such a remark.—( Hear, hear, b ean ) The Noble Lord had a ss i gne d no reason , for stating th a t the people of Ireland were no t entitled to equal rights with the people of England and of Scot. ' land. He denied the allegation of the Noble Lord—. universally admitted, and that wes shown by the Bills that had L2CII over and over anain brought into the House to remedy the e'i!, and Le would ask how it was that at the repteation cf the short period that had elapsed since the close of the last year the views of g entlemen on the oppesite side had uncle:gene so extrar.rdin. ry a change? —( Hear, hear, hear. ) It la ked as if they had s'ece discavered that the removal of th ose abuses would operate to the Frojedice of some party interest in Ireland, and as if they were of opinion that slthougli the maintee sTice of abuses was a hal thing, yet that the loss of office and the loss of power was worse. The old hacknied argument had been repeated that the Bill was a Bill of Disfran chisement, and the Hon. and Learned Member for Kil kenny (Mr. Hume) had stated it was a Bill of Pains and Penlies. He had looked with very great care into the Bill, for having had the honour of sitting upon a Com mittee appointed to inquire into fictitious votes, the sub ject had interested him, and he must say he could not understand what Hon. Gentlemen opposite meant by such an argument. The Bill did not touch the franchise. Wes it seriously meant to he said that a Bill which merely went to remove from the register fictitious votes was a Bill of Disfranchisement? Iu one sense it certainly might he; but did Hon. Gentleman opposite mean to say that . the number of fraudulent voters on the Irish register seas s) great that the removal of their names from the register would materially affect the present right of voting in Ire land ?—( Cheers.) If they did, that furnished an unan swerable argument in favour of going into Committee. It' the franchise was too high, let it be lowered; but he could not believe it was the wish or desire of any Gentleman in that House that fictitious votes should remain on the re gister. He highly approved of the Noble Lord's will, and should give it his cordial suppert.--( Cheers. ) Mr. E. B. ROCHE believed the Bill wool I be ir jurious to the best interests of his country, and that was suflicient argument fur him to oppase it. It had been said that the present wes not a disfranchising Bill, but he con tended the very first clause disfranchised the great majority of the voters of Ireland, by throwing almost insuperable ob stacles in the way of their registering their votes. He contended tire constituency, as it at present stood, was too limited, and the object of the present Bill was to re duce it still further. In Cork, with a population of 00,000 the constituency was only 3 926. No one would say that that was too large a proportion. In Wales, on the contrary, which was as poor a country as Ireland, that constituency was 43.026. Why , if there was fraud in Cork there must be much greater fraud in Wales. Hon. Gentlemen might smile at that observation, but he would remind them that honesty, like charity, should begin at home.—( Hear, hear.) He did not intend to trouble the House at any length, but coming as he did from one of the largest constituencies in Ireland, he felt himself called upon to record -his moat decided opposition to the measure. The great majority of the Irish people and the great bulk of their representatives bad already declared their objections to the measure to be insuper able. He would remind Hon. Members that the people of Ireland regarded the present contest with the greatest anxiety—their rights and privileges depended on it, and they might rest assured that if by passing the Bill they disfranchised the people of Ireland, they would have then no resource b it that which no body of men who had the welfare and tranquillity of the empire at heart could regard without dismay. —( Hear. ) No other Member having presented himself there were cries of " Divide," from both sides of the House, which at that time contained only about fifty Members. Strang ers were ordered to withdraw, but before the galleries were cleared, Mr. D. CALLAGHAN rose and said that it had not been Iris intention to address the House on the present question, but seeing that they were abandoned by the Treasury—( Hear, hear)—seeing that they were abandoned by the Noble Lord the mover of the Bill—and seeing that they were abandoned by many Hon. Members who bad expressed their intention of taking part in the debate, he was anxious to give them an opportunity of corning back and offering their sentiments to the House.—( Hear, and a laugh. ) It had been alleged that grave abuses existed in the present system of registration in Ireland, but he denied it, and he called upon the parties who made them to come forward and prove them. The Hon. and Learned Member for Bendon had asserted that at the Cork elections dead men had been polled, but he believed that statement was utterly unfounded. He hall attended many registries, and he had never known an instance of an individual coming forward and endeavouring to obtain the franchise by fraudu lent means. fie would remind the House and Honourable Members opposite, that when the Reform Bill was brought forward by the Governmenn, a clause for the par pose of providing an annual revision of the lists of voters was inserted. He (Mr. C.) had never offered any ob jection to that clause, and he believed it had received the support of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. What he wished to see established was a system of annual revision, which would give no trouble or expense to the bona fide voter, while it would exclude the fictitious and fraudulent ones, That clause, however, had been opposed by the Noble Lord the mover of the present Bill, and it had been struck out.--( Hear, hear.) Before the Reform Bill, the system of registration in Ireland was simple and effective, but when that Bill was passed an experiment was made there respecting it, but it was never expected that that was to be permanent. It had been stated this was not a Bill of pains and penalties, or disfranchise ment, but the first clause disproved the asser tion, fur by it all the constituency were at once disfranchised. But if the Irish submitted to the loss of the franchise without taking up arms, and contending for it to the death, they would be unworthy of its possession. This was, he knew, the general opinion of the country, and he was not afraid of expressing it in the House. While, however, he opposed this Bill he trusted the Government would introduce a measure that would obviate the evils of the present system. Mr. SOME RS looked upon the Bill as one of those periodical devices which were resorted to by the Noble Lord to exasperate the people of Ireland. Was this n illiberal or unjust conclusion ? Was it not proved by the constant practice of the Noble Lord and Iris party ? Oa what grounds was the morality and capacity for the exer cise of political privileges of the people of Ireland esti mated below that of the people of England ? 'When had there been a disclosure of such practices in Ireland as had lately been made as existing at Ludlow and Cambridge ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) He had the most earnest dcsira of union with England, but would not purchase it at the expense of their just rights and privileges. So long as equal justice was done to both countries, he should desire their union ; but when this was refused, it was the duty of Ireland to do justice to her self.—(dlear, hear.) .. _ _ Sir C. Win' said if Hon. Members thought by the state of the House the debate was unnecessarily adjourned last evening, he thought ;hey would find before it closed there was vet much to be said. The absence of the Noble Lord who introduced the Bill was the cause of their nut coming to a division. The Noble Lord aed Honourable Gentlemen were now, he presumed, more agreeably occupied than on this debate, which, however, they would return to when convenient to them. The Hen, Member, having alluded to the unseemly termi nation of the Corn law debate, was intertupted by cries of ' " Question." He then said he would turn to the matter before the House.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) NAedy could deny that abuses existed in the present system of registration in Ireland, bu he hoped they would only be temporary. The abolition of the 40s. freeholders might have been necessary at the time, but the qualification with the English and Irish voters should have been assimilated, and if the Learned Member for Dublin hod confined his efforts to obtaining that equalization ; and had not linked it with an extensio i, he would have gained a larger share of support. The Noble Lord (Stanley) had last year ex pressed his desire for such an assimilation with Scotland. If the Noble Lord had not departed from that opinion be Was acting with great inconsistency in adopting a different principle towards Ireland. That was his (Sir C. Grey's) main objection to the principle of the Bill—that it tended to strengthen and consolidate the present unjust system of inequality in the Irish repre sentation. His second objection was, that there had been a totally wrong construction put upon the Reform Act fix Ireland, and there had been an endeavour to interpose upon the decision of that question a tribunal unknown to the law.—( Hear, hear.) He would not rivet, then, this system on Ireland, with all its defects.—( Hear.) The question turned entirely on the meaning of the word "value" in reference to the beneficial interest required in the premises of the voter. ' The difficulty arose out of the forty-shilling freeholder qua ific.ition in England —the question as to which remained unsettled—namely, whe ther it implied the value to the tenant, or the value the tenant could get from another person for it, till 1758, the Bedford case, when it was decided in the latter sense. —( Hesr, hear, bear.) Now the question could only concern the poorer of the voters. The de -1 cision was clearly erroneous in his opinion, but it had been the root of the construction put oil the Irish enactment. The Hon. Gentleman went rather minutely into the legal points of this case. Subsequently, indeed, several statutes had perpetuated the vicious decision of that case. But it could never have been the intention of the framers of the Irish Reform Bill. There were numerous objections to details of the Bill, into which he would not, however, enter. It was pretended that the measure would not disfranchise the Irish constituencies ; but it amounted to that, for it placed obstacles in their way which they could not surmount. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by expressing his decided opposition to the Bill of the No . :sic Lord. - Mr. TEE SIG ER said, that after the debate w'.ich had now m been carried on for three nights, after the full disc s ion which the principles of that most important measure had undergone, after the manner in which the objections brought forward against it had been so repeatedly answered, he w...s rather astonished at hearing the speech of the lion. and Learned Member who had just addressed the House, and who had been speaking in opposition to the principle of the Bill ; he appeared to have wholly misapprehended what was the real principle o f t h e question before the Howe, if lie supposed that the reasons which he had de tailed to the House, hail ace thing to du with the principle of the Bill at all ; in fact, they were totally irrelevant to the question. What bad the question of the inequality of the franchise between England and Ireland to do with this c'ucstion, or the extinction of the f or ty- s hilli ng freeholders, or what had that which had occupied so much of the attention of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the beneficial interest and the decisions of the Judges, to do with the question now before the House ? It was not in the slightest degree r N connected with t h e su bj ect of the present inqui l3 r i )., Lord no did the Bill w hi c h h ad b een introduced b y t h e yo Noble least lion.

But al from the peculiar circumstances in %hid: ha 11. d been placed- he bad had as much ex • p. , rience of the practical working of the Irish system of re,gistraticn as any Hon '.ember representing an English coestituency could have, he felt it his bounden duty to pre sent himself to the House, and state the reasons which had suggested themselves to his mind for voting fir the present measure.__( Hear, hear.) He had listened with the must respectful attention to the tj,etions made to this measure by the other side of the House, fur it vv,s his duty to do so. This measure was not to he carried by clamour, but demanded the most calm and temperate diseussion—( Cheers from the Ministerial side)—and he would endeavour rot to use language cal culated to produce the smallest degree of irrit ttion, as it was dt sirable wha.eyer decizion the House might come to on the sulket, should appear as the result of calm and dt liberate disi_us , tion. He would confess that he had leaked forward with great expectation to the speech of the Hon. aid Learned Solicitor-General, which closed the ..bite of last night, because he was aware of the great abilities sod of the indefatigable industry of that Ilan. and Learned Gentleman; and that the peculiar bent of hs mind was a desire to investigate thoroughly every subject to which he directed his att en ti on ; h e had there. fore watched for a statement from him of the real ohjections which existed to that important measure, and which he had locked for in vain in the speeches c f other lion. Menaces. Ile was compelled to say, how. ever, that that expectation had been disappointed, for from the beginning to the end of his speech the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not addressed one word as to the rinciple of the Bill.—(Tory cheers.) fie would pass s!ightly over the conciliatory recommendation of the Hon. snd L..arued Gentleman to the Government, to introduce such Bills as would please, a certain party cut of doors, without reference to the chance of their being ap proved of by the ether House, and then to appeal to the country on the subject. It appeared to him that popti. , larity might be tarried at an easy rate, if the Goveinment atteoued to the suggestion of the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman, but at the same time of the roost hazardous na'.ure: but he felt such reliance on the charaexr of her Ma- jesty's Guvernment—(Cheers)—as gentlemen a nd states men, although lie might have no confidence in the general measures they introduced, as satisfied him that they would not ado e t the oil captandunt legislation recommended by their own legal adviser. lie was utterly at a loss to un derstand how the Pill of the Noble Lord could, at he Hon. and Leatned Gentleman stated it did, gu to impair the efficiency of the Reform Bill—it did Rot extend or red ice the franchise.—(lronical cheers from the Minis terial benches.) It did not touch the foundation of the franchise at all, and Idt it precisely where it found it. —( Hear, hear. Neither could he understand how it could be denominated a Bill of pains and penalties. The Hen. and Learned Gentleman, and likewise the Noble Lord opposite, had suggested that it would bo better nut to allow this insulated measure to Pass. bat to wait for some general measure to b e i n t ro d uced by the Goverement, in which this subject was comprehended, lie had been struck by the observation of the Noble Load. the Member for North Lancashire with regardto d tb a e t tb; sus picious time at which that proposal was made, an the absence of any explanation on the subject in the speech of the lion. and Learned Solicitor -General for Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) But it was impossible that any mea...ure of registration for the three kingdoms could bo comprehended in o le o Bill with the differeut registration machinery in the three kingdoms ; three bills would be at). soloaely necessary, mid if so, why could not the Bid of the Nable Lard be made the foundation of a portio n ut that rre-asure o Lich Hen. Gentlemen opposite said it has their iinctiti et to intreduce ?—( Hear, hear.) Tb, Hon. and Learned Gent!: man had admitted the great evils ui the present system of registration in Ireland. But he objected to the proposed triethcd of reforming the system, and amongst other objectio es stated the difficulty imposed upon electors in obtaining the franchise by being compelled to go to a distance to attend the Registration Courts. Now the Bill of the Noble Lord gave the As sistant- Barrister lower of adleaurbing his Court.—( Hear, hew ) 'Now, as that had. 'been denied, he would ;Tier to the Bill. By acctio 26, pow,: was given to th e Assist ' ant•Berrister to adjourn his Court to any place that he might tlii7 l a fit. By section 17, the Assistant-Barrister was tf.; give notice of the place where he intended holding his Sessiena, such places to include all places where the Courts of Quarter Sessions were usually held, and like wise such places as the Lord Lieutenant might hereafter appoint. And by section 18, power was given to the Lord Lieutenant hereafter upon the requisition of the Magistrates of the county—( Loud ironical cheers from llinistcrial benches)—to appoint other places as perma nent places for the registration of voters. There could no difficulty whatever occur, as the Sessions must be held be tween September 10 and October 20, and as notice of objec. thin must be given before August 10. A week before September 10, the Assistant-Barrister would give notice of the places where he would hold his Registration Court, and he would have the power to adjourn to any place where there were a considerable number of voters to be registered.—(Tory cheers.) lie had endeavoured to explain to the [louse the provisions which existed on this aubject, es he believed that great misapprehensioa existed as to the r rovision in question. This Bill, in fact, afforded greater facilities for toe acquisition of the franchise than the Reform Act itself, as under that Act the Assistant- Barrister possessed no power of adjournment which the 13111 now under discuSsion proposed to give him. It was admitted on the other side that the octennial registration was objectionable—that it opened the door to fraud and perjury. The remedy was offered in this Bill.—( Cheers.) Those who now opposed the caution for going iota Com mittee had in 1832 called for annual registration, and called for it year after 1 ear.—( Hear, hear.) Now, for the trst time they found that it would have the effect of disfran chising a large proportion of th e electors.—(Cheers.) He could not help thinking that th u o bj ect i on was ra i se d be cause the Bill had been brought in by his Noble Friend.— ( Hear.) Could any Member of that House doubt that if there had been in Ireland no system of registration at the time ct the passing of the Reform Bill, the system in that country would have been assimilated to that of England and Scotland, and that there would have been an annual revision of the registry ?—( Hear.) The lion. and Learned Member for Dublin, with his usual acuteness, had foreseen all the evils at the time, and actually proposed a remedy.— Hear, hear.) The admission of improper persons to the registry was an injury to all who were properly qualified. Every person who had a right to register, or a right to claim, had an interest in preventing the intrusion of those who had no right. Was a man who was once wrongly ad mitted on the registry to remain there without the power of removing him ? He called upon those Gentlemen who titight that the Irish registry ought not to be opened be fore Committees of the [louse of Commons, to pause be ' fere they voted for the continuance of the present system, ttltich allowed the man to retrain for eight years on the re gistry without question. To these who thought that the registry (eight to be opened he would say, that they should consider the expense which was incurred by parties who mid to go More a Committee of the House of Commons to obtain en investigation into the claims of persons who had been improperly registered. The mere argument whetht r investigation should be entered on generally occupied two or three days. Agents and counsel were employed, and witnesses were brought over, and frequently it happened that after all the enormous expenses, the Committee de cided that they would not go into the inquiry. The Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin might say that there was a provision against this grievance —that a Commission could be sent to Ireland to examine witnesses. Bat the efficiency ct the Commission might be understood from a speech of the lion. Member for Dundalk, from which he quoted a passage to the effect that the remedy was wotso than the disease. In the case to which the Hon. Member for Dundalk was in that speech referring the Commission corned their inquiry into the whole establishment of the Castle. The Commissioners would examine no witnesses on the question referred to them until they had inquired who were the servants of the Lord Lieutenant, and who were the agents of the Judges, and that after the inquiry had been protracted for ten months they sent over eleven volumes of evidence, five volumes of which contained only the rejected evidence—which evidence was not received, although the opposite parties offered to ad mit it to prevent delay, and the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Dublin was iiiinself obliged to make use of it. Could it be said that a system like that could be at all useful to men who were really desirous of exercising a legitimate franchise?—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member fur Cork had said that the annual registration was a good system. Why, then, would he not go into Committee, for the purpose of adopting it ? There was no argument offered on the other side against the principle of the Bill. Let them, therefore, as the principle seemed almost to be conceded, Co into the Committee, and endeavour to make its details as perfect as possible. lie did not pledge him self in any way to the details, but he thought that, as the principle of the Bill had received the sanction of the House, it would be allowed to go into Committee, with the determination to examine impartially its details. Mr. O'CONNELL—Sir, instead el being at all dis pl.:Esed at the introduction—l think unnecassary introdue none...A allegations of fact, which I think, if necessary, I could show to be quite different. I admit that I think the Hole nd Learned Gentleman has made out a ease in favour of this motion.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) I ant reedy to concede to him that this Bill will be iu favour of Members of this House, and of those who are sot oggling to be Men-hers, and of those who have petitions to present against Members.—( Hear, hear.) I concede to him that the Bill will be an advantage to the wealthier classes in Ireland—it amidt g h o e o E d st ß ab ill fur l C th li e uc ° ll l . • freeholders, for th e c " l i e l r l g b y e ot a l Hear.)

It was completely thrown away._. (Laughter and cries of " Oh, oh.") From the state of the House-- from the sincere hostility—from the enemies of It eland— and (fern the lukewarm zeal of his friends.--( Cheers. ) Tile Noble Lord and I can adjourn our retaliation for fu ture discussion.---( Laughter, and taunting cheers from the Opposition.) I thitda it is obvious enough that before the 42d clause of this Bill conies to be discussed in the Com mittee we shall have opportunity for the settlement of our differences.—( Laughter.) The Noble Lord quoted from the Mirror of Parliament a speech attributed to me ; but. the Noble Lord's tit - emery was fallacious. The passage was quoted against me in 1832, when I was arguing against the Noble Lord and his Attorney-General. I then showed that if I had ever used the words attributed to me they were totally inapplicable to the question upon which we were then engaged. It was Mr. Franklin (as we under stood) who read the passage—a gentleman not remarkable for his candour. But I showed that this was a mistake of had not the Act of Parliament before him. bl ame the repo r t -r — one i n t o w hi c h any reporter mightido not fall who the Noble Lord for not recollecting that I showed him it I I I
