SATURDAY. JULY 10, 1847. Immediately upon the appearance of the Gazette Extraord; wiry of the Ist of June, within twenty-four hours, indeed, after its publication, we protested a g - sinst the insufficiency of the proposed distribution of n.lilitary and naval decorations. Nor did we content ourse.lves, moreover,with a merely general expression of diss satisfaction at the abbreviation of official muni ficence within the interval between 1793 and 1815 inclusive Iy. We proceeded further—we particu larised the immortal glory achieved by British valour at the bombardment of Algiers and at the battle of 11"arino. We mainta ined that some mark of dis tinction from the SOVEREIGN had been well and gal lantly earned by th e br a ve fellows who ha d fou g ht in those rtenowned engagements. Last evening the Earl of HARDWICRE brought this matter directly under th e con sideration of the Government,nment, a n d elicit Mom the assurance th at "it . t from the Earl of 41E0E r the intention of the Ad- Miraliy to take the subject againi the justice with .the anxious desire of doing which it is in their power to perform. ".t s o tl,ing more explicit could be that t ir t e h d in the way the First Lord of a half promise, and considering of the Admiralty has therein pledged revision of the disputed Gazette, w e ma l y nlself to a look forward to a speedy extension of the a c s a; ilretilY .o f t h ose oSficers and seamen who are eminently entitled to soiree such honourable recompense. The Earl of HARDWICKE deseiTes the especial acknow ledgment of those whose services have been hitherto unrewarded; and the rernonstrlnce as to A the ineffi ciency of the arranzement skerchA out by the Ad miralty authorities, came with a very felicitous force fullness from himself, seeing that he was a partici pator in r.ne of the great naval victories excluded frcin the Extraordinary Gazette above-mentioned. W.- allude to the sanguinary engagement fought in 1816—scarcely hz‘lf a dozen months beyond the limits of the distribution—;n the hay of Algiers, an en gagement which redounds so much to the honour of England, .both as an evidence of the indomitahe er su- si p . rowess of her sons, and of the generosity of a P r e _ one rulers. At that famous battle there was, as the 4 F,arl of HARDWICKE truly observed, more ter rible bloodshed than at any other sea fight on re ef 1e.W (.3 - , e : .'s aor' ~ ith the single exception of the victory at the C.6...•-•‘ .

"You granted," continued the Noble Earl, " you granted twenty millions for the emanci pation of the black slaves in the colonies ; will you be so inconsistent as to refuse a bit of ribbon to those who, serving at the cannon's mouth, tended to the liberation of the white slaves in Algiers r There is no Administration, however niggardly in character, but would eagerly repudiate such an ignoble kind of parsimony. To the Russell Administration, therefore—an Administration rather profuse in its munificence than otherwise—the inquiry must have sounded abhorrent. Hence was the reply of Lord AucIELALND of an unusually explicit and conclusive character. We have remarked that the remonstrance came with felicitous forcefulness from Lord HARDWICLE, because that Noble Lord in his youth shared in the dangers and glories of Algiers. If our memory is not wonderfully deceptive, the naval historian JAMES declares that the vessel which suffered the most frightfully at the battle of Algiers was the frigate Leander, commanded by Sir EDWARD CHETHAM, HOW Sir EDWARD CHETHAM STRODE. Such was the havoc among_ the crew of the Leander that we believe we are correct in asserting that in one berth of thirteen midshipmen, eleven out of the thirteen were either killed or seriously wounded the Earl of HARDWICKE and a brother reefer being the two who escaped uninjured. Of all the glorious sea-fights recorded in those annals of heroism—the history of the British - navy—the battle of Algiers was fought in the sublimest cause—the vindication of the freedom of humanity ! Of all actions, with the exception of one, it was the bloodiest. Shall the survivors of that extraordinary engagement, where a fortified city, mounted with one thousand pieces of cannon, was quelled, and its battlements beaten down into ruins by a flret of English sailors and marines—shall the survivors of that extraordinary engagement still go unrewarded by a scrap of ribbon and a medal, while others are decorated who have shared in actions " comparatively trumpery ?" What we have observed with reference to Algiers might be urged with similar reason for Navarino, for Copenhagen, for the engagement of the Fisgard, for the retreat of Lord CORNWALLIS, for the gallant deeds of Sir WILLIAM HOSTE, of Sir JAMES DE SAIIMAREZ, and of many other distinguished officers. We have merely selected Algiers in particular, as it is unquestionably the most daring and the most un paralleled, as it certainly was the most bloody and the most generous, of the unrewarded battles. Let it not be imagined for an instant that in de manding so urgently the bestowal of these badges of glory upon those who have smelt gunpowder under the banners of the nation, we are arguing merely, as it were, for the distribution of a few straws or a handful of Brummagem buttons. The insignia of courage are, in the majority of instances, merely an inch of silk and a pewter medal, it is true ; but that pewter and that silk are things worthier than toys or baubles. They are sublimated by the grandeur of their associations. Listen to the words of a great captain now living ; listen to the expressions of Sir CnAaLss NAPIER, the Conqueror of Sinde, who speaks thus upon the advantages of such rewards (see his " Remarks on Military Law," p. 210) :—" Let me ask any man conversant in human nature whether the grandson of a soldier, whose Waterloo medal [or the grandson of a sailor, whose Trafalgar medal, or whose Algiers medal) hangs over the cabin chimney, will not feel an honest pride when he looks upon this tes timony of his progenitor's bravery ? The youth may be a weaver, a ploughman, a smith, an any thing; but he will still feel proud of the medal ; and the less he is connected with the army [or the navy) the higher will his veneration be for the military [or naval) character of his ancestor." Further on this eloquent warrior continues—" Such honours tend to improve the feelings of our children ; it brings some prominent era in the history of their country home to them ; they become identified with her battles ; her glory grows more dear to their hearts, it enters into their family, and clothes with its brightness those dear to their affections" Let the Government take these sentences, as well as the Extraordinary Gazette, into their consideration ; let them bestow the medals—and bestow them speedily —upon the survivors of Algiers and similar unre warded engagements. The statement which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer:made on Thursday in the House of Commons, when proposing what he expressed a hope would be the last vote which it would be necessary to submit to the House for the purposes of relief in Ireland, will be perused with peculiar interest, not only by the people of that country, but in all parts of the kingdom. We trust that the anticipations of the Right Hon. Baronet may prove well founded, and that the favour able character of the ensuing harvest, and the in creased exertions of the landed proprietors, ren dered practicable by the assistance afforded from the national Exchequer, will restore to their country the ability to provide for its own desti tution, and enable it no longer to need that h , 1p which we so readily bestowed in the dark hour of its adversity. That statement not only related to the progress of the relief already afforded, and what its amount has been up to the present time, but also as to what we may reasonably anticipate with respect to the future. Nothing can afford a stronger proof of the real character of our feelings towards our Irish brethren than a plain and simple statement of the operations carried on from the time of the first indications of an insufficiency of food, occasioned by the failure of the potato crop, until they are again restored to independence. It should be appreciated by the high-minded people of that country, and it they are not sufficiently grateful therefor, we are convinced that it is because they are deceived and I led astray by those who, actuated by what has been well termed the " Anti-Russell mania," have viewed everything through a distorting medium, and conceived most erroneous and exaggerated ideas of the duties and the acts of Government. The simple figures now cited, the pounds, shillings, and pence extended, will furnish the most triumphant answer to the complaints of these calumniators, the perfect vindication of the Ministry from their charges. It is unnecessary to follow the Right Hon. Baronet through the several details, suffice it to say, that of the ten millions of pounds sterling placed by Parlia ment at the disposal of the Government for th a t pur pose, 9,360,0001. has already been expended, or i s about to be expended, for the relief of Ireland, and that a reserve of 640,0001. is still retained, in order to provide for any contingencies that may arise before the next harvest. The whole sum applied up to the harvest of 1846 was 734,0001., of which 368,000/. was . advanced by way of loan, and the residue 364,0001. by grants from the Imperial Trea sury. A great change, however, then took place ; the potato failure which, during the preceding year, had only been partial, unfortunately became uni versal throughout the e ntire country. A panic set in that fearfully aggravated the awful consequences of the calamity. The gentry of the country, with some honourable exceptions, became paralysed—they all that Was felt the i na d equacy o f th e ir means to pro vide for the h elpless sufferers ; and, b eca use they could not do national resourcresquired, ath exertion, d flung with themselves upon the recklessness. Although th e statute and deeyspaiaribnagncioned every authorising the advance of money for the purpose of carr Y • ng on the public works that might be sanction e d b y Works provided that the theisame was and the Board of as to be f u ll y re p a id by the several baronie s , sums were presented, the re payment ( f which w ou ld have absorbed, in many in stances the entire rental of th e districts for several years. Intimidation was suffered to prevail • until it attained an alarming height. Everything Pr( wa s passed, and many persons who had no ) ' possible € (1 c l a im were placed upon the list. Private indi v id ua l s, ' who would gladly h a ve p rovided their fair proportio of employment, and directed the labour thus appli cable to works of a useful and reproductive cha racter, found they were wholly unable to stem the torrent, and also that they would still have to pay their quota of the general fund as fully as those who made no effort on their own behalf; consequently there was scarcely tiny eurtion made. Even the labourers who, in ordinary seasons, would have been retained were discharged by their employers, and sent to the public works as the sole means by which they could obtain a livelihood. Under this state of affairs it will not appear surprising that the number of persons engaged on those works at one period amounted to no less than 734,000, or that, although this number was gradually reduced by the judicious course adopted by the Executive, the expenditure thereon should have amounted to the enormous sum of 5,00,000/. in round terms. The Government had most judiciously given a pledge, towards the close of the last autumn, that they would not interfere with private enterprise in the supply of food. Had they declined to do so the consequences would have been truly disastrous. They, however, without any violation of their promise, and without even the slightest com plaint being urged against them by private traders, established depots in certain districts, and they defrayed the freight and charges of the importation of such articles of food as were presented to the starving people; this expenditure and the loss on the provision depots amounted to nearly 250,0001., while 390,0001. was applied through the medium of the relief committees, prior to the esta blishment of the soup kitchens. The cost of this latter mode of relief, which was estimated at three mil- lions of pounds, will not exceed 2,200,0001. There were also the different advances by way of loan for works of utility, such as the 620,0001. to certain rail roads, the money to be advanced for the improvement of land, and the grants for piers, and fisheries, &c , showing altogether the above-mentioned outlay of 9,360,0001., of which 4,380,0001. is absolutely be stowed, and the residue is to be repaid by easy instal ments. Surely this simple explanation will convince the Irish people how fully they may depend on a Government that has hitherto acted with such paternal care, and induce them to abstain from any acts or de monstrations by which the power or stability of that Government may in any manner be deteriorated. There are certain gentlemen who enjoy a perfect freedom of action, and are privileged to perform the most extravagant antics with impunity. No one is shocked if they are jocose at funerals, and grave at christenings, and though their number happily is not legion, yet somehow or other the circle seems to have gone on increasing of late. Here now is a new candidate for the honours hitherto reserved for the favoured few, with whose doings our facetious friend Punch makes so ciety familiar, in the person of Mr. Alderman JOHN SON. The worthy Alderman, than whom, in private life, there is not, we believe, a more amiable person, is about to essay the task of undoing the Reform Bill, which he terms a "diabolical" affair, " one of the worst Bills that ever passed." There is a certain charm in audacity which wins its way to the heart, and the notion that such an enterprise is about to be attempted by an ex-Lord Mayor, is calculated to have great effect upon the electoral mind. In stead of JOHNSON being swallowed by PEEL, we shall see the late head of the Conser vatives absorbed by the monster capacity of this legislative Magog. He will from this time for ward think with Mr. JousisoN's brains and vote with Mr. JOHNSON'S tongue. _ . It is not fashionable in these days to be consistent, and the respectable Alderman has learned the value of the maxim which recommends that the conversa tion should be suited to the company. It seems that in spite of an anxious wish to speak out plainly, he is exposed to doubt and misconstruction as to the real character of his politics, but that need not be a subject of serious complaint. It is a matter of almost equal indifference to the electors of London whether his "honesty" at Bride-lane is greater than the amount of his " sincerity" at the meetings of the Conservative Association ; or if his " candour" at the Farringdon, is better than either, since the result will be just the same. He has only to please himself, and may rest assured that his responsibility will end there, the citizens of London having made up their minds not to trouble him with the task of watching over their interests in the ensuing Parliament. A letter from Breslau of June 29 says— " Princ e Germain de Hatzfeld, against whom a sen tence of excommunication has been issued by the Arch bishop of Breslau, and whose two majorats have been seized, because the conditions on which they are held required that they could only be possessed by members of the family of Hatzfeld, belonging to the Catholic re ligion, not being able to get the anathema removed, h-is manifested his formal intention of embracing Ger man Catholicism, and has consulted the lawyers of the Breslau bar on the question, whether in case he adopted that mode of religious worship he should be regarded as not belonging to the Catholic religion, and should lose the possession of the majorats. The Breslau bar hay. declared unanimously that inasmuch as the German Catholic worship is true Catholicism, reduced to its pri mitive simplicity, Prince de Hatzfeld, in embracing that worship, would be a true Catholic, and in consequence could not be deprived of the said majorats." We learn from Vienna, 29th ult., that the Imperial decree prohibiting the exportation of corn has not had the effect of bringing down the prices in Austria. The EMPEROR has addressed a letter to the Minister of the Interior requiring explanations on this subject. Madrid papers of the 2d instant have arrived. The act of accusation against Senor ANGEL LA RIVA, accused of firing at the QUEEN, appears in these papers. The Heraldo states that there are hopes entertained of a reconciliation between her MAJESTY and the KING CONSORT. Another reconciliation has taken place, which is of ill omen for the future prosperity of Spain. CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ are reconciled. The fact that a " cordial understanding" subsists between these notorious evil-doers is pompously an nounced by the Faro, the Union, and the Esperanza. Several of the Bishops appointed since the death of FERDINAND have resigned. The QUEEN'S troops have dispersed the Carlist band of the Estudiente near Burgos. An officer and one man were killed, five were taken prisoners, and the remainder were dis persed. The Three per Cents. were done at 28k for cash; the Four per Cents. at 171; the Five per Cents, at 17i; the Debt without Interest at 51; and the Coupons at 13. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday, The Minister of Finance, towards the close of the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, brought in a Bill to authorise the Government to contract a loan for 300 millions of francs. M. PALLEPRAT, one of the accused in the Cubiiires affair, has escaped from France, having first of all written to the Chancellor, announcing his intention of not appearing before the Chamber of Peers. The escape of M. PALLEPRAT was the subject of an animated conversation in the Chamber of De puties on Tuesday, in the course of which the Marquis DE MORNAY taxed the Govern ment with having connived at the escape, in order to screen a rich man from justice. M. HEBERT, the Minister of Justice, who was present, did not attempt to gainsay this accusation as against the Go vernment. He contented himself with saying that, as far as he was personally concerned, it was not through any fault of his that M. PALLEPRAT had escaped. It is expected that the co-accused of M. PALLEPRAT Will be acquitted. d p d e e n n d pending disappearance before th the Court or i. " Two unexpected incidents," says the Union Mo narchique, will impart a new turn to the proceedings in i t s he th t e ri s a u l Palleprat, one rs. Th of firstthe °i.P ee four accused ; and the second is, the formal declaration of General Cubieres that he never gave money, nor even made offers of money, to M. Teste. The General, how ever, admitted that he had at one moment entertained an idea of attempting to corrupt the former Minister of Public Works, but that he soon regretted having enter tained such a thought—one which was suggested to him by M. Palleprat. We mention those reports without vouching for their accuracy ; for we have been assured that M. Palleprat has written to the Chancellor that he would not present himself before the Court, and had t h oug ht proper to seek refug e in a foreign country." The Presse of 'Wednesday was seized for repub lishing an article from the Democratic Pacifique, for the publication of which that paper had previously been seized. It is said that the Ministry intend applying to the Chamber of Deputies to authorise the MIL E DE GIRARDIN for the pub prosecution of M. E lication of the article in question. According to the Courr:'er Franfais, the Emperor of MoROCCo has sent an Envoy to Tlemcen, to re quest the assistance of the French against ABD-EL-. KADER. to Troy es The rep or t o f M . C ALmox, j un ., on the Montereau Railway Bill has been distributed to t he Chamber of D eput i es. Th e or i g i na l Bill authorised the company to contract a loan of 4,300,000 f. The report proposes that 3,000,000 f. shall be advanced by the State, and that 2,000,000 f. more shall he raised by the company, on the privileges which accrue to it from the adjudication of the line. The National contains the following on the subject of the intelligence said to have been received by the Government from Greece :-- " We cannot understand the schema of the Govern ment on the news which it must have received from Greece The Cabinet, if we are well informed, must have learned that a movement of an extreme gravity has taken place in the provinces. General Grivas, it is said, is at the head of the insurgents, and already the accounts declare he has made himself master of two strong places in Acarnania. It is affirmed, on the other hand, that a new difficulty has arisen at Athens, relative to the time that M. Mussarus is to pass in the capital of Greece, and also concerning the choice of the Minister who is to make the visit of apology commanded by M. Metternich to the representative of Turkey."

The arrivals of grain at Antwerp continue extensive. From Jnne 30 to July 5 there entered the port thirty four loaded ships, having on board 6,286,038 kilo grammes of grain, rice, flour, &c., and there were in bond on the sth July ins!. about 4,000,000 kilogrammes. There are no later ship arrivals to-day with news of general interest. Letters intended for the Washington steamer are to be pre paid and posted this evening. The intelligence from the continent has still an effect upon the tone of the Money market here, and there is much suspense felt in connexion with the aspect of Spanish affairs. The new French loan is not likely to find much favour here, as the intrigues of Louis Philippe are of a nature to excite well-founded mistrust. Consols are heavy still upon the news of the loan. For present transfer they realise 884 and for time 884 t. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 901 to 91. Bank Stock is firm at 1964. Exchequer bills are 1 ls. to 14s. premium. There have been no bargains in the Peninsular Se curities. Mexican Bonds are steady at 194 to 4. Ve nezuela are at 39. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 574 4. In Railway Shares there is no movement. Prices are much the same. Yesterday, after much evidence bad been gone through, the Committee of the Lords decided that the preamble of the South Yorkshire and Goole Bill was proved. It is expected that the Bill will receive the royal assent by the 15th inst. This news has given an impulse to the shares, which were done at par ; and in the event of the Act being obtained, are expected to reach a high premium. The forged shares have been circulated lately in various quarters, but as yet no discovery has been made of the authors of the forgery. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

Lord RODEN called the attention of the House to the third report of the Commissioners appointed under the Act 10th Vict., cap. 7, for the relief of distress in Ireland, it having been stated therein, " that in some cases the very chairmen of the relief committees, being magistrates, have sanctioned the issue of rations to tenants of their own of considerable holdings, possessed of live stock, and who it was found had paid up their last half-year's rent, and that intimidation—a very com mon cause of abuse—has in some cases been openly encouraged by the committees." He moved that copies of all informations connected with these transactions which had been made to the commissioners, together with the names of such chairmen of committees and justices of the peace referred to in the report be laid upon the table , of the House. He would occupy the attention of the House but a very short time, while .he directed their Lordship's attention to the very serious matter charged against high persons in authority in Ireland, in the re port to which he alluded. He hoped their Lordship , would grant the motion which he now made, so long as such charges were preferred by anonymous writers in the public papers. He did not consider it his duty to interfere or endeavour to protect the landed interest from the base calumnies to which they were daily subjected. He did not mean to say that there were not i s n o t m im e at p e e d r , son h s ut who he had did acted in t i h t e fbul esh m llior a etu n la n tnha e tec r i, act b e l lay y f u p j justice i ce the to ts h 1 thee of the residentHneteurs House gentrythe wnassomf guilty parties. e d fa n i o le t n e his into fello w a -e d e e u ta n i t l ry o m f t e h r , i. There was a sufficient proof in the unbounded charity of the English people that they were known and felt, and t w ies hich He ha w d ou b l deeply s ympathised in. —(Hear, hear.) The Protestant gen try had also done themselves immortal credit ; they had s hared their last morsel with their Roman Catholic brethren, and the Protestant clergy gave up their own necessary comforts to alleviate the distresses of their neighbours ; and, in fact, the more he considered the conduct of the gentry in Ireland, the more he was persuaded that the present report was raise, calumnious, libellous, and a one-sided report, which was wholly unworthy of the confidence of their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) The report was regarded with one universal feeling of sorrow and annoyance by all classes in Ireland, and many gentlemen who had given their whole time to the relief of the poor in acting upon committees, were now quite unprepared to take further responsibility upon them, left they might be considered to be included in the charges made by the commissioners. It would have the effect of banishing many of those gentlemen who had so acted. The N, ble Lord then read several letters from influential gentlemen in various parts of Ireland, who had anxiously laboured in the cause of humanity for eight months, and who all denounced, in the strongest language, the report, which they termed as false and libellous, and unworthy or credence. The Noble Lord then went on to read the report, which stated that the objects of the Act could easily have been carried into effect, if the persons who had entered upon the undertaking had done so with honesty and earnestness of purpose, and that a trust worthy local management was generally unattainable for smaller limits than those of a union. The report fur ther noticed a gradation from the spirit of perfection which in general animated relief committees, to a coun teracting spirit in the body, "a wrong feeling of one entire class, a degree of apathy or neglect on the part of some, or the whole a y 1 lding to intimidation, or seeking for popularity, leading to the abandonment of any ati em p, to check fraud, down to the last degree—namely, that of actual connivance at the grossest frauds, and m6applica tion of the means at their disposal." The Noble Lord having read several extracts from the report, con cluded by moving his resolution. The Marquie of LANSI)OWNE said he would tress. pass upon the House for a few moments while he would explain to the House the reason why he would consider it necessary to refuse the motion, and why, in doing so, he would not be committing any injust . ce towat ds any class of persons in Ireland. It Has not a wonder that the Noble Lord should fe 1 anxious to cle ar s me of his fellow countrymen from the charges imputed to them But, while he admitted this natural anxiety, he would not agree that such a motion ought to be agreed in. All the commissioners had done was the taking of a substantial view of the means taken for carrying on a [nest sure which had been enacted under circumstance of pe culiar difficulty ; and they had abstained from Ili recting attention to any particular locality which would lead to a discovery of the geraous implicated. The commissioners had not thrown any general censure tip the country, hind they onli pointed °lit witne dithrui which obstructed their endeavour ThP Cotntni-sii r,6rS said that th(l , had been so far effective, and the) only stated that in very many instances—hot in the majority, not in even a large minority—but in many cases, certain diff►cult►es interposed. The commissioners, in a para graph which the Noble Earl h )(I omitted to read, praised the conduct of those gentlemen who acted n the Finance Committee, which, be it r,rnember« d, wss the highest and most confidential post th,t could be en trusted to any man or set of men. H., considered that when a Commission was appoint,d to inquie into the gen. ral working of any measure, it would 1 7 .); , highly im proper tor them to 414iscend 'nt , : particular details by men tioning names. Supposing a Commission was appointed to inquire into smuggling, and they rep irted that there was a general feeling along the coast in fay or of smug gling Would it be wise, or prudent, or just, to men don the names of the person's wives and daughters who felt that sympathy ?—(Hear, hear.) He could bear his testimony to that of the Noble Lord, to the humane. charitable, and benevolent conduct of the gentry and clergy of Ireland during the calamity which bed befallen the country. They had sacrificed their time. and in many instances, their lives, to all , viate the sufferings of their poorer neighbours.—(Hear, hear.) Such an in quiry ought not to be granted, if it were only from the lateness of the session, which would frustrate any useful end resulting from it. The Government did intend to inform 5u.211 of their officers as had been implicated, that a charge had been made against them, and they would then have an opportunity of defending themselves, and making a statement to the Government. Lord BROUGHAM recommended the withdrawal of the motion, but at the same time he thanked the Noble Earl for having brought the question under the atten tion of the House. He did consider that if the magis' Crates did not fully exculpate themselves, they shoule be removed from the commission of the peace. It would not do for them to deny the charge upon their honour, as two Members of the Lower House had done—that would not do.—(Hear, hear.) They should fully ex' eulpate themselves, or be removed. H e did n o t w i s h to know the names of the guilty parties, it would only gift ) him an opportunity of despising a human creature , which was always a disagreeable sensation.—(Laughter.) Earl FITZWILLIAM said that, with every respect for the gentlemen who had made that report, he did think that it would have been better to have conceived it in a different spirit, and expressed it in different language. They had arrived at a very eventful period, and be was sorry to say that very little had been done during the present session for Ireland. They had promised much, but they had performed little ; but he hoped that another Parliament would effect much greater good. Ile had no doubt, a large expenditure of English capital by the Government would render Ireland an assistance in stead of a burden to England ; but at the Fresent mint he saw nothing but a great deal of want and misery in that country for some time to come, a small niggardly outlay would do no good. Lord MONTEAGLE presented his thanks to the Noble Lord opposite for having brought forward the proposition which he had done, and he would support him if he was willing to go to a division. It would be utterly unbecoming if some person representing some of the classes impeached did not refute it ; it was a serious charge, and one which ought to be investigated, as it was to those very persons they characterised. The working of the new poor-law was entrusted. He was, not about to go the length of saying that no instances of abuse existed, even if such a measure was introduced into this country, more enlightened as it was, abuses would arise, more or less numerous according to circumstances. In the province of Connaught there were persons acting upon relief committees who could neither read ea write, nor speak any language save Irish, and when such a description of persons officiated, was it to be wondered that abuses should occur? Yet, nevertheless, thes e charges would not rest upon such a class, but upon the landed gentry. The money which was given to al country was not given in a confiding spirit, and if it hitd,. been a much smaller sum, and given in such a s pirit, i t would have done more to cement the union between the countries than any measure which could hereafter b. effected. The Earl of RODEN then begged leave to withdret his motion. He considered that the discussion which had arisen would effect a great deal of good. The motion was then withdrawn.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know from the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests, whether it was the intention of the Government to card the improvements in London known as New Coventry' street on towards Covent-garden ? He understood tbe t his Grace the Duke of Bedford, who owned property in that quarter of the metropolis, had offered the ficent sum of 13,0001. towards effecting these improfe" merits. • Lord MORPETH sa id th a t h e excee di ng l y regretted that the state of the public finances would preclude any possibility of the G overnmen t b r i ng i ng i n a Bill i n ibis session of Parli amen t f or th a t p ur p ose ; they Would' therefore, be unable at present to accept of his Gra the Duke of Bedford's liberality, but he trusted O a in another session of Parliament some steps would b e taken to accomplish this great and much meeded provement. SUPPLY.—THE WELLINGTON STATUE.

It was his wish, therefore, to ascertai n from some authentic source what the real opinio n of the Duke of Wellington was upon this subjee f * because if his Grace were averse to the removal of 0 36 statue from its present pedestal, he (Lard John Russell) should not prop ose th e vote in supp l y w hi ch he might wherwise do, her Majesty having declared her desire, le that case, to allow the statue to remain as at present.
