TheesaleS were 7,000 bales, 1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market continued quiet, and prices were a shade lower than on Monday. Preparations have been commenced, although on a small scale, for tl:e remittances of silver to the East by the steamer which leaves Southampton on the 20th inst. ; but until further intAligence is received from India and China, which is expected about the 12th or 13th, business will remain ex ce dull. There-was no particular alteration in the rates of Exchange upon the principal cities of the continent yesterday afternoon, although a decline was gene rally anticipated. The advices from New York report the exchange there to be firm at about 1091, 1 ' 43 that a continuance of remittances from that eonntry are calculated upon. The demand for money in Lombard-street and at the Bank is much quieter, partly in consequence Of an impression that the minimum will bereduced t ? 5 1 per cent. Thus, first class paper is nego tiated at 5i per cent., in some cases rather lower, and the supply is ample. The dividend payments c ommenced to-day, and'these will produce addi tional ease. If the reduction be made as antici- Pated, either this week or next, it will give an im portant impulse to trade, and create confidence in all depart eats. Nearly all the specie that arrives from Australia and America is sold to the Bank, and the next re turn will, no doubt, exhibit a material increase in the bullion. Yesterday about 55,000/., probably the remainder of the supply brought by the Champion of the Seas, was so appropriated, and the American remittance by the Canada is likewise expected to find its way into the Bank vaults. At the half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Bank to-day, a dividend was made at the rate of 6 per Cent per annum, leaving the balance of bad debts reduced to only about £lO,OOO. The report was adopted. The English Stock Market, although under the influence of the settlement, is a shade firmer, and there is evidently a better feeling,—stimulated by the anticipation of a change in the rate of discount to-morrow. It is thought that the Bank will not Only lower the minimum, but likewise continue their loans upon stock. This opinion, however, is not shared in by the public generally, as there is really no necessity for a continuance of such fa cilities beyond the period of the Shutting. Consols for money have been 924 3, for Thursday 921 .3, and for August 93. The New 3 per Cents. are 92 1 I, and the Reduced 921 Bank Stock is 2121 to 214. Exchequer Bills were 3s. discount. to par. In the Foreign Market the dealings have not been very important, but the quotations are generally firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are nomi- • nally 952 96. Spanish New Deferred are 25a, Sardinian 892 to 90, Russian 1l Os. Fr. nch 41 per Cents. 91f. with the exchange at 25f. 30e. Peru- ' vian are 822 to 832. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks ;—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 61 ; Mexican, 22A ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 82 84; ditto 3 per Cents., SG; 58 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 5 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; diq) 41 per Cents., 9 6 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40.1 402 ; ditto New Deferred, 25k g ; ditto Certificates, 6 G ; ditto Pasiive, 51 5 6. There has been very little animation in the Rail way Share Market. A sight advance, however, has taken place in the values of some of the chief l ines. North-Eastern Berwick rose 10s. ; Lan cashire and Yorkshire, ss. to 10s. ; Great West- e rn, North-Western, and Midland, ss. ; Bristol and Exeter and South-Eastern were at yesterday's r ates ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln de clined ss. ; Eastern Union B stock about 10s. to 15s. The French lines, although not active, are at enhanced values. Eastern of France have im proved 7s. 10s. 6cl. to 10s. ; and Paris and Lyons, Great Western of Canada are flat, and de clined about ss. ; Grand Trunk are at nominal values, as also East Indian. Dutch Rhenish and Lombardo-Venetian are firm. Mining Shares have ruled very quiet. The fol lowing business has been reported—Alfred Consols, 17 ; - Wheal Mary Ann, 4q ; and Mexican, 31. The market for Joint-Stock Bank and Miscella neous Shares has been exceedingly quiet. Otto man Bank receded about 55.; London and County Bank of Australasia and London Chartered of Australia were at previous rates ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam declined to 63.

He said that at the last election he voted for Palmer and Moore. At the previous election he was not on the register of votes, but he acted as a deputed magistrate. As compared with the former elec tion the last was a particularly quiet one. Colonel Higgins and his friends waked about Castlebar during the nomination, and were not interrupted. The first pulling day he was atCastlebar, and saw some of Colonel Higgins' voters coming up under escort in cars. From one of the cars he saw a pistol fired, and witness told the stipendiary magistrate that if he would stop the escort he would point out the man who fired the pistol. The magistrate very uncivilly replied that he would not stop the escort, and told him he might summon the man if he liked. Cross-examined by Mr, O'Malley—He bold a farm under the Marquis of Sligo. He took up his lordships tenants to the poll at the last election. Whatever vio lence there was at the election he attributed to the influence of the priests. Mr. G. Martin, a magistrate and chairman .of the board of guardians of Bidlinrohe, denied generally all the violent language attributed to Father Conway, in the chapel at Ballinrobe, and in his addresses to the mob in various parts of the town. Several other witnesses were called who spoke to the quiet character of the last election. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. SHOOTING WITH INTENT TO MURDER —Wm.

This afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, two in dividuals entered the Queen's Prison as visitors to a debtor named Robertson, who is undergoing a term of imprison ment in the remand ward. A short time after they entered agonising cries were heard to proceed from Ro bertson's room, and some of the officials and prisoners rushing up, the unfortunate man was discovered fright fully wounded and covered with blood. It would app, ar that one of the two men, a foreigner, after some altercation between the parties, had drawn a poniard and inflicted several desperate wounds upon Robertson in the neck and face, the blows being struck with such force that the blade of the poniard was broken. Beth men were at once seized and car ried before the magistrate at the Southwark Police Court, and, after a short cx :ruination, were remanded until to-morrow. Toe victim of this murderous outrage lies in a most precarious state, utterly speechless and partially paralysed. The occurrence has created a pain ful ex:itement among the inmates of the prison. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(This Day.) Tho SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The British and Irish Grand Junction Railway ; Lowestoft and Burgh Saint Ptter Ferry and Roads ; and Pulteney Town Harbour wera read a third time and passed. . - The 13esselsleigh Road Bill was further considered and ordered to be read a third time.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCFIEQUER gave notice that in the course of the month he should propose a resolution upon which to found a bill for the continu ance of the present duties on tea and sugar for two ye ars. A long discussion ensued on a point of order, whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer could make such a mu. tion on a Wednesday. The Speaker ruled that the mo tion, which was only a notice, was not irregular. The motion was then agreed to. BURIALS BILLS, The order for the second reading of the Burials Bills was read and discharged. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. The house went into committee on this bill. Causes 1 to 8, inclusive, were agreed to - aLer some amendments. On clause 9 Mr. BOWY ER moved the following addition :—Pro vided, however, that the regulations of every such In• dustrial Schools shall provide that a book shall be kept by the managers, in which the religious denomination or church to which every child admitted to such school, or the parents or the father of such child, shall belong, shall be entered ; and that every minister or clergyman officiating in any chapel or other Owe of worship duly licensed according to law in the parish within which such Industrial School shall be situated, shall have free access to Such book, and also to every child who shall appear by such book to belong to the religious denomi nation of church of which such minister is a teacher. Mr. ADDERLEY oljncted to the motion from a be lief that it would prevent the free action of the bill. He denied that there was aoy desire to proselytise, and thought the most effectual way to prevent it was by the number of the Roman Catholic persuasion establishing similar institutions. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Gregory, Mr. "ewdegate, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. B)wyer took part, le amendment was withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. Clause 10 to 12 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 13, Mr. BA.RROW moved that the period at which the chillren should be kept at school should be altered from 15 years of age to 12. Sir J. PAKItIGTON supported the clause. After a discussion in which Sir G. Grey, Mr. Lidde!, Viscount Goderich, Sir W. lieathcote, Lord Ehrin9ton, Mr. Akroyd, Mr. Kendall, Lord Ingestre, Mr. Barrow, Mr. Adderley, Mr. RidLq, Mr. Spooner, and other hon. member. , , The committee divided—the numbers were — For the amendment Against it Majority —llO The clause was then agreed to.

Mr. COBBETT said he oljected to the bill altogether, and on the thin) roading he should move its rejection. The bill passed through committee, and the house re sumed. OXFORD (CITY) ELECTION. The committee appointed to inquire into the return of Mr. Neate, the sitting member for Oxford (City), declared the election void on account of bribery. 198 voters were employed and paid money, 152 of whom voted for Mr. Nt ate. MAIDSTONE ELECTION. On the third reading of this bill, Sir W. COD RING CON opposed the third reading. Tidal rivers I.ke the Thames were likely to be obstructed by the erection of wharfs, piers, and embankments, by I persons not responsible for its free navigation. The object of the bill was to establish a Board of Conservancy, who should have power to erect wharfs, piers, and em bankments, and to, tax the shipping, using the river for that pnrpoae ; two-thirds of the tax was to go to the board for improving the navigation of the river and the remaining third to the Government, but it was not specified what they were to do with the money. The gallant officer referred to the origin of the bill, which arose from a dispute between the Go vernment and the Corporation of London as to the shores of the river, and be objected to so important a trust as the conservancy of the river Thames being placed in the hands of an irresponsible body the majority of the members of the board to be taken from the Corporation of London. He contended that this bill was too important to be c nesidered as a private bill, and urged that it should be made a public bill and publicly discussed. He moved the third reading of the bill this day six months. Mr. AYRTON asked the Speaker if this bill had been properly introduced as a private bill, considering its im portent operation. The SPEAKER said that, according to Parliamentary praotice and usage, the bill (however large the interest might be that would be affected by it) had been properly introduced as a private bill. Mr. Alderman CUBITT supported the second read ing, and gave a lengthened history of the dispute be tween the Corporation of London and the Government, relative to the shores of the river, which had been under agitation for a considerable number of years, and h a d been repeatedly brought ender the notice of the publi c . Sir DE LACY EVANS said that since the last time the bill was before the house many objectionable clauses , from the Cor poration of London, two from the Trinity House, hal been omitted from it—one deu ce t o tax st eamers above bridge. He considered this a species of retro gra d e legislation, and his principle objection to the bill was the constitution of the board, viz., seven and three from the Board of Admiralty , the majority of whom could at any time out vote the Government, being unqualified to discharge this important trust. Mr. HENLEY supported the bill f rom a beli ef that it would facilitate the reform of the Corporation of London. He considered the board independently con stituted, and he thought the Government had made a good bargain with the corporation for the Crown. As the owner of water-side property in London, he bad no complaint to make against the management of the Corporation of London. Mr. AYRTON opposed the bill, on the ground that the board would not adequately represent the commer cial interests of London. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there had been two objections urged against the bill— one as to the form of proceeding, and the other relative to its contents. With regard to the first, the bill was introduced as a private bill, according to precedent, and he instanced a similar bill for the Mersey now before the house. A private bill gave every facility ro t er o inter before t ested par ties to oppose it, if they tho u g ht pp , examiners. After entering into t he nature of the dis pute, and the arrangements come to between the Corpo ration of London and the Crown, whereby the former conceded the metter in issue to the Crown, the right hon. baronet defended the constitution ( f the Board, which, instead of being sectional, was general, and the beat that could be for promoting the commerce of the peas. After some remarks from Sir S. TRELA.WNEY, Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the b ll on the ground that the interests of the .public, and the owners of private property were not considered by the bill. Though the clause for taxing steamers above bridge was withdrawn, strong taxing powers were retained, such as leieneing landowners to make dock s and wharfs, the leasing and G o vernment at me t n h t e l b n oard for th e i r concess i on cf giving to th e cor po ra ti on taking tole of new piers and landi ng pl aces . H e ob jected to the formation of the . board and condemned the o o o f I d o u n c d t onf amajority the a G io Crown rights. The board ought not to be one of nomi nation but election by the tax-payers. Alter some remarks from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in explanation, Sir J. DUKE said that the parties who had intro duced the bill, having complied with the forms of the house, they ought not to be blamed for its being made a private bill, and an objection rai▪ sed to it in consequence. a shriller bill was Only yesterday passed for the river Clyde without opposition to i▪ ts being a private bill. Referring to the taxation by the conservators of the river, he stated that 60 years ago the tonnage on coasters was from 4d. to 2 , 1. per ton, but it was now reducelto id. and Id. By the bill, provision was made for the disposal of surplus money. He defended the constitu tion of the board, and said that the members of the Cor poration of London were ca p a ble of effectually discharg ing the duties that would devolve on them under the bitl, and that they would promote the interests of the commercial community. H 3 should support the third reading of the bill. The house divided. The numbers were— For the third reading 172 Against it ............. The commissioners appointed to inquire into the return of the sitting members for Maidstone, Mr, Beresford Hope, and Captain Scott, declared them duly elected. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad journed at a few minu tee before six o'clock. ALTERATIONS IN FRENCH MEDITER- R ANEAN 11CAIL PACKET SERVICE.

He moved for a return of tire number of days each judge sat in his court, the number of days he had sat by deputy, and the names of the deputies and their description. He moved for that return for the last 12 months. The LORD CHANCELLOR could see no objec tion to the return. As to the deputies, according to the law the county court judge was entitled to two months' holiday each year, and he had authority to appoint a de puty, who was to be either another county court judge or a barrister of a certain number ofyears standing; and the deputies so appointed must be with the sanction of the Lord Chancellor. The labours Of the county court judges were now become so heavy, that it would be the duty of the Government at an early date to consider a better distribution of the districts, so as to equadse them throughout the country. The motion was agreed to. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petition from far mers and others attending Northampton market, pray ing for a uniformity of weights and measures. Af er a few words from Lord WENSLEYDALE, Lord BERNERS said that in the different markets the greatest possible confusion arose from the difference in the system oz weights and measures. He trusted the Government could think the subject worthy their atten tion. After Lord SPENCER had said a few words, The EArl of CLANCARTY hoped not only that a uniform system would be introduced into the markets cf Ireland, but into the markets throughout the United Kingdom.

PUBLIC FISIIERIES. Mr. CAIRD asked the Secretary of the Treasury, whether any progress bad been made since February, 1853, in obtaiuing a decision by the Tlon - :;e of Lords, of the case of Gatnintll against the Crown, and whether the advantage of the right of saloon fisheries on the svhcle sea coast of Scotland, thertin involved, has for four years been lost to the public revenue by the post ponen3ert of the above case ? Mr. WILSON said the appeal was not heard before the H.iuse of Lo-rds. The decision had not been given, but that deLty had not been caused by any officers of his department. NATIONAL SURVEY. Lord ELCHO asked the Secretary of the Treasury upon which scale it was intended to proceed with the survey of towns of Ireland ? Mr. WILSON said the towns would be surveyed on a scale of 10 feet to the mire, pending any further NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. CONINGIIA:11 asked the Secretary of the Trea sury whether it was the intention of the Government to remove the National Gall , ,ry from its present site Mr. WILSON, in reply, said the matter uas not de cided, because the commission appointed to consider the question had not sent in its report. THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL. Mr. H. BERKELEY asked the First Lard of the Treasury whether her Majesty' Government would use its influence with his Highness the Sultan in support of an application which had been made by the Viceroy of Egypt fur the sanction of the Sublime Porto to the con struction of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez, for which a concession had been granted by the Viceroy a Egypt to M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, and which had re ceived the approbation of the principal cities, ports, and commercial to i‘ns of the united kingdom ; and, if any objection were entertained by her Majesty's Govern ment to the undertaking to state the grounds of such objecticn ? Lord PALMERSTON—Her Majesty's Government certainly cannot undertake to use their influence with the Sulta❑ to induce him to give permission for the con struction of this canal, because for the last 15 years her Majesty's Government have used all the influence they possess at Coestantinople and in Egypt to prevent that scheme from being carried into execution. (Hear.) It is an undertaking which, I believe, in point of commer cial character, may be deemed to rank among the many bubble schemes that from time to time have been palmed upon gullible capitalists. (Hear, and a laugh) I be lieve that it is physically impracticable, except at an ex pense which would be far too great to warrant the ex pectation of any returns. I believe, therefore, that those who embarked their money in any such undertaking (if ray hon. friend has any constituents who are likely to do so) would find themiselves very grievously deceived by the result. However, twat is not the ground upon which the Government have opposed the scheme. Pri vate individuals are left to take care of their own inte rests,.and if they embark in impracticable undertakings they must pay the penalty of so doing. But the scheme is one hostile to the interests of this country— opposed to the standing policy of England in regard to the con nexion of Egypt with Turkey—a policy which bas been supported by the war and the Treaty of Paris. The ob vious political tendency of the undertaking is to render more easy the separation of Egypt from Turkey. It is founded, also, on remote speculations with regard to easier access to our Indian possessions which I need not more distinctly shalow forth, because they will be obvious to anybody who pays any attention to the subject. I can only express my surprise that M. Ferdinand de Lesseps should have reckoned so much on the credulity of English capitalists as to think that by his progress through the different counties he should succeed in obtaining English money for the promotion cf a scheme which is every way so adverse to British interests. (Hear) That scheme was launched, I believe, about 15 years ago, as a rival to the railway from Alexandria by Cairo to Suez, which, being infinitely more practicable and likely to be more useful, obtained the pro eminence ; but probably the object which M. de Lesseps and some of the promoters have in view will be accomplished, even if the whole of the undertaking should not be carried into execution. (Hear and a laugh.) If my hon. friend the member for Bristol will take my ad vice, he will have nothing to do with the scheme in ques tion. (Hear ) METROPOLITAN TURNPIKES. Lord R. GROSVENOR, asked whether it was the in tention of the Government to take steps towards the ap pointment of commissioners to inquire into the best me thod of removing the tollbars now situated in the metro polis, pursuing the plan which had been adopted in re gard to those io the metropolis of Ireland and its vicinity. Lord PALMERSTON said that no doubt it would be very desirable to accomplish the object which his noble friend had in view, and that it should therefore receive the consideration of her Majesty's Government. lie was not prepared at present to state the method by which it would be best attained, but the Governmen t would placee themselves in communication with the trustees ()f the metropolitan turnpikes to see what mea sures would be necessary. (Hear, hear.) COMPENSATION TO BRITISH MERCHANTS. Mr. ADAMS asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to introduce any measure enabling them to grant compensation to British merchants whose property at Uleaborg, in the Gulf of Bothnia, was destroyed on June 2, 1854, by the boats of a squadron under the command of Admiral Plumridge, Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that was a case which came under the principle of international law, which he h a d stated, the other evening, in reference to the losses suffered by B:itish subjects at Greyto wn. persons who were residing in Russia, though British subjects, would have to take the chances of the Russian e mpire, if by hostilities the place where they wero resid ing became the scene of warlike operations, and no claim could be set up by those persons against the Government whose forces carried on the hostilities by which they hap pened to be sufferer'. BENGAL MILITARY FUND. Viscount GODERICH called attention to the present state of the Bcngal Mihaly Fund, and to the relations existing between the East India Company and that fund, and to move for a select committee to inquire into the su'ject. The fund was one which had been founded by the officers of the Indian army for charitable purpose?, and supported by their subscriptions and by certain sums voted by the. East India Company. In consequence of the recent occurrences in India, the he did not intend to push the motion, as it might appearance of embarrassing the Indian Government, ave but ho should reserve to himself th e ri g ht to bring for. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. To•day's market was moderately supplied with English wheat, chiefly the refuse of Monday. On the whole, there was rather more doing in most drscriptions, but the demand was by no means active. In prices we have no change io notice. Thil week's imports of foreign wheat amount to 6,030 quarters, and we had rather an extensive show of samples. The inquiry was wholly confined to small parcels for im mediate consumption at Monday's currency. There was a firm sale for barley, at fully previous rates. We had a moderate inquiry for malt, at full quotations. The oat trade ruled very firm, at extrem j rtes. Beans and peas moved off steadily at fell prices. The flour trade ruled dull, and Noifolk qualities were offered at 465. per 280 lbs. ARRIVALS TIIIS NVERR. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

Mr. VERNON SMITH said that the question as it stood at present was, that in June last the court of directors hal, without his consent, sent out a despatch stating that although they did not wave their claim of right, to give or withhold any further contribution to that fund, at the same time, if in the course of a few years from 1836 it should appear that the revenue of the fund should ❑ot be able to meet the charges, they would be inclined to consider whether they could not make some further consideration. Mr. MANGLES expressel his appreciation of the motive which had induced the officers of the Indian arroy and the noble lord, not to press the ques'ion at the presknt juncture, and expressed his belief that there was every wilhngnet..B on the part of the court of direc tors to meet the matter in a liberal spirit. The motion was then withdrawn. THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND. Mr. ROEBUCK then rose and said—Sir, I rise to bring forward a motion for the ab: lition of the office of Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland under most auspicious circum stances. Not that I mean it will be so considered by the house, but that I mean it ought to be so considered. My late lamented friend Mr. Hume very often pressed this proposition on the house. He brought it forward under very difficult circumstances. Ireland in 1824 was in a state of confusion almost unprecedented. In 1830 he also brought forward the proposition. In 1844, at the time of the monster meetings of Mr. O'Con. nell, he submitted it to the house ; and in 1850 the then Prime Minister, Lord J. Russell, submitted a bill with the same object to this house, which was carried in this house, under the most disastrous circumstances. Ireland was then subject to the consequences of the most dire famine that ever visited that unhappy country. But now how different are the circumstances. Ireland is a part—an integral part of England, governed as Eng land is, subject to no political or natural misfortune. She is now happy in her Government—in her internal and external circumstances—she is, in fact, a flourishing country, and has nothing to complain of. I say this bol lly. I say that Ireland is a part—an integral part of the great country to which she now belongs, and has nothing to complain of in her Government, osscapt is respect to the one matter which lam about to bring under the consideration of the house. (asar.) This house has often been called on to abolish the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland—and why ? There are many sorts of alliances between countries. There may be a federal association, such as exists in the United States of America. That is an association,- if I may so express myself, of integers ; but feat is not the present associa tion of Ireland with England. Ireland ought to form part of an association of fractions. We do not say the united kingdoms but the limited kingdom of Grea Britain and Ireland ; and Ireland ought to be a frac• tional part of the great country to which she be longs. She is not anti ought not to be considered an independent country ; and in so saying, let not gentlemen from Irelan I fancy that I have any wish to say anything offensive to them. Upon this point I may ap peal to my long political career, and I will say that if one word cr act of mine could be found derogatory to Ireland I should be ashamed of myself. (Hear, hear.) I think, then, I may appeal to my past career, for everything proposed in this house in order to make Ireland equal to England has had my most strenous support. Therefore, in proposiog, as I now do, that we take from her what I consider the nne. badge of subjection, I am not doing her an offence or disadvantage, but an advantage and bene fit. (Hear. hear.) What do I seek to do ? I have said there are various sorts of alliances. The federal alliance Ireland does not now preten Ito maintain. Before 1800, when there was a Parliament in Ireland, she might be said to be a kingdom of herself ; but the moment she consented—and she did—to do away with her Parliament —(Here some one among the Irish representatives, Mr. Niteier, we believe, intimated dissent)—My boa, friend shitices his head ; but I say she did consent. Was it not a Protea ant Parliament that consented? Ido not mean to say that means were not employed, disgraceful to Ire land and to those who employed them, to obtain that consent ' • but still the Protestant Parliament repre senting Ireland consented to the union, and thereby the condition of Ireland ac a separate and indepen dent nation was entirely done away with. She consented to be a fractional part of a great whole— the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and what I now; seek to do is to make Ireland the right arm of England. I want every county in Ireland to be like a county in England, and every parish in Ireland to be like a parish in England, and that she should not call herself Ireland, but a part of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. I ask what benefit does Ireland derive from her present ena mel rus condition I She has a viceroy —a papier masted sort of royally. What does the Viceroy of Ireland do for Ireland ? I will tell you. He is the focus of intrigue in Dublin. He makes Ireland dependent, not on her own individual exertions, but on the Government. All those who can afford it run to Dublin, and anybody who knows anything of Debar knows the sort of scenes that take place before the Lord-Lieutenant there. In London and in England the profession of tbo law is one of bro therhood, and there are many hon. and learned gentle men sitting on the opposite benches who are friends and intimates of mine. I never asked whether they were TurieP, Whigs, or Radicals, but I have learnt to my utter astonishment and dismay, that gentlemen on this side of the house who are Attorneys and Solicitors General for Ireland have never met in private society with the At ter-totes and Solicitors General for Ireland on the other side of the house. The gentlemen who are now Attorney and Solicitor General for Ireland never met, I under stand, my right hon. friend opposite (Mr. Napier, we believe, was alluded to) in private society. Now, Ibe lieve that this is the result of an influence emanating from the existence of a Lord Lieutenant in Ireland. I believe that the existence in Dublin of that functionary keeps apart all the elements of society in Ireland. It is a sort of negative electricity. I would ask, too, what is the expense caused by this tinsel monarch ? (Hear.) My late friend Mr. Hume said, and I believe truly, that it took 100,0001. a year to keep up that sham monarch. But that is not all. There is a divided responsibility. I would ask how is Ireland governed now ! First, there is the Home Secretary, a Cabinet Minister ; next, there is the Lord Lieutenant, who is not a Cabinet Minister, but a Viceroy ; and then there is the secretary of the Lord Lieutenant in this house. All these three persons are really the governors of Ireland, but not one of them is in connexion with the other, and nobody is respon sible for anything done. (Hear, hear.) I say that this is a great mischief. Tao Lord Lieutenant is a mere sham. He goes to Ireland, and what does he do? There are certain func ions of government that belong to the Im perial Government of the country. Now, the Imperial Government ought to be here. I know lam saying that which to Irish ears is grating and harsb, but recollect that we have before our eyes the example of a country united with England under far different circumstances from those in which Ireland was united—namely, Soot land. Now, Dublin is at present no further from Lon don than Edinburgh, but at the time when Scotland was united with England Edinburgh was in reality three weeks' journey from London, and then no viceroy was placed in Scotland. See the change effected by the electric telegraph and the railways— Dublin is brought within eleven or twelve hours' communication with London. Compare that with the three weeks' journey to Edinburgh, when Scotland was made an integral part of England. Let not, then, any Irish gentleman suppose that I mean anything offensive: What I mean is that Ireland should be part of England—really a part, and I think I may appeal to my own political career to show that I do not want to im pose on Ireland anything which England does not bear. I want an equal law for Irishmen and Englishmen. I don't want the distinction of Irishmen to exist. Cork ought to be like York. (. laugh.) There ought to be vo difference bet ;seen the great county of York and the great county of Cork, except that one is somewhat more distant from London than the other ; but to tell me that there is any difficulty in governing Ireland in consequence of its distance, is to tell me that our forefathers were un able to govern Scotland. Now, is that true ! Has not the union of Scotland with England been of the greatest' benefit to the former country Depend upon it—however Ireland. nd Thehi woul d st b y e r painful it may be to Irish gentl emen to hear such an oat! .tended d — l t v h it e h u t n h i e o nu utmost os t Ireland tood E a of this country, so far a s Ireland is concer ned, up to year s, has been a disgr ace t o Eug usurpation, despotism, a s regar d s Ire llltinntddh,ilLav Cruelty, e ve rn ry ar f k w ed every step of English dominion ; but since we have bad a reformed Parliament only two really b t e h e e n i p r as ish sed c . oer l . oofplpenosseivde b a u c t t h s t a h p o p s l e yi a n c g to t . o I l r . e h l e an o d ne ha w v a e s cam Act, the other was the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. Nobody opposed the latter measure more strenuously than I did. I think mine was the first voice raised against the proposal, and if there be any mischief arising from that act I think its consequences will defend Ireland from any repetition of such a measure. What have we seen within a few days past? We have seen a right rev. prelate of the Catholic Church of Ireland claiming the title of Archbishop of Tuaiu, and you have not dared to put in force the act of Parliament you were foolish enough to pass. He boldly asserted that he was Arch bishop of Team. Now, if any offence can be committed under the act this is one. (Hear, hear.) Is there any man bold enough—is there any man insane enough—to endea vour to enforce that act against the right rev. prelate I perceive by the working of the face of my bens friend the member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner), that he does not like this. (A laugh.) I take it to be one of the strongest proofs of the truth of what I assert that, although the right rev. prelate has ciilled himself Archbishop of Team, even my hon. friend who entertains such strong Hear, bear.)
