Preliminary to a dissolution of Parliament, as anterior to the dispersion of almost every public assembly, there is visible that agreeable abandon which is indicative of the anticipated pleasure of an approaching vacation. The legis lative campaign is just terminating. Some of the difficulties of the session have been conquered, many of them have been evaded, the vast majority of them have fallen harmlessly by reason of partial con cessions, or the assurances of their ultimate removal. Having, in a great measure, competed with the fame of HANNIBAL in overleaping the Alps, and still more with the fame of NAPOLEON in turning the Alps, the popular representatives seem disposed to indulge themselves with the taste of a few pungent and bitter personaliti es . Every one remembers how the Parliamentary year of 1846 fermi nated how perpetual were the malignities showered Do' deliberate w ere of Comm ercial a great statesman, how u e e:us . n a i tions brought against the Champion Honourable Emancipation, how the orations of certain u o r f able Members were 1847astic vituperation. flavoured with the tartness The Parliamentary session of promises to end in a somewhat similar manner, but without the re deeming audacity of Lord GEORGE i 3 b r illiant sparkle of the wit of the Inca, or the Honourable Mem ber for Shrewsbury. Sir ROBERT PEEL was the popinjay at which the arrow of almost every satirical rhetorician in the House of Commons was levelled in 1846. Mr. JOSEPH HUME is the target for the hitherto suppressed personalities of 1847. On the former occasion the attacks were as ephemeral in their influence as the breath that blurs a mirror for an instant and then evaporates, or as the pressure of a footstep on the moss that flings off every impress with its elasticity. At the present time the assailants appear to have as little chance of producing effect either upon the object of their defamation, or upon the popular judgment. With all his Parliamentary peccadilloes, with all his political sins of commission and omission—and what senator of thirty or forty years' standing is without them ?—the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Mon trose has acquired for himself the respect of a very large portion ,,, of the comm an u i n r i e t p y eri . ain l t-b n se t re h ea e ki v na e r r .e y . b ßt l h e y - e 4 fiiiiibeirtr rite. H u „e s ' me - )s=- 4 •9f onesty th,, p • •• g - tin46l6ast dhereLee ' Cl(' ;',sb'tfcrt) " pi 4 ca t, rough good report utas, .47 ii..2e , there v Zl* ilit- 4 ;hit lair*• .4 - 4 „,.. ..,, , that, notwithstanding the per ad 0 , - 01114 9916 creed of political economy , • _ were considered as impossibilities. In this category we must place the essential consolidation of constitutional principles in the north of Germany—a star a long time since announced and promised, hut which has disap peared." The President next alluded to the political con stitution of the cantons, which, founded on the principle of the sovereignty of the people, has secured the happiness of all separately ; but he observed that the cantons required to be united by a new pact, which, by maintaining as much as possible the independence of each, should create a general confederation, affording the best guarantee for their national independence. The President concludes by observing that, "If—what appears to be improbable —a foreign intervention should take place in the internal affairs of the confederation, the world shall know that Switzerland—strong in her right, great by the sympathy entertained for her by all free nations, and by all which expect to become free—will sacrifice the last drop of her blood to maintain the independence achieved by her fathers in so many sanguinary battles, and to transmit that most precious of all blessings intact, as she received it, and in all its integrity, as a sacred legacy to her chil dren. May God preserve the mother country ! I de clare the Diet for the year 1847 to be opened, and I in vite you, dear confederates, to renew the federal oath after the custom of our fathers." was wisdom at the bottom of it. Troublesome as he has proved at times in regard to the stinting of the national expenditure, there has been, nevertheless, a homely and practical patriotism in the manner in which Mr. HUMS has for years endeavoured to pre vent the possibility of lavish disbursements from the Treasury. Against the broad front of the Honourable Member for Montrose the bullets of abuse are harmless, the javelins of invective are innocuous—the bullets are flattened, the javelins blunted. Mr. SPOONER had as lief sally out to hunt the rhinoceros with a toasting fork as attempt to crush the re putation of Mr. HUME with such flimsy pro jectiles as a remembered fragment of small talk, and a blue book tarnished with the cobwebs of twenty-four months. The sympathies of the House ihave very seldom gone with the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose, for seeing that his themes have generally been based upon COCKER, and considering that his most appropriate crest would certainly he a save-all, Mr. HusrE scarcely strikes one on the long run as being the sort of man to sympathise with. Often as the House of Commons has bad occasion to coincide with him, the Members of that Honourable House have scarcely ever had occasion to be moved in sentiment or emotion with him. Last evening, however, the sympathies of the large majority of the House of Commons were with Mr. HUME. The ridicule with which that old servant of the people was treated was felt to be unmerited and ungraceful. Indeed the pain with which Mr. HUME must have listened to the attacks directed against himself personally must have been immeasurably more than compensated by the hearty cheers with which his vindication by Mr. AGLforinv was received. Upon those sponta neous acclamations the Hon. Member for Montrose deserves congratulation. Threatened with branding, as it were, they virtually crowned him with laurel. So much for the idle personalities which are beginning to indicate the proximate dissolution of Parliament. The actual business of the session has been either terminated or put aside for " a better opportunity ;" a little pleasantry and practical jokitig is, therefore, considered allowable, even though it merge into a sort of moral Donnybrook, where the bludgeons of ridicule are " laid about " somewhat indiscriminately, and characters, instead of skulls, are threatened with destruction. , Madrid papers of the 3d instant have been received. According to the Faro, Queen CHRISTINA has written long letters both to the KING and the QUEEN. The Correo denounces all the parties concerned in bringing about the marriage of the QUEEN—a marriage which was effected in direct opposition to the wishes of her MAJESTY, who was forced to marry her cousin. The departure of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA for San Sebastian has been delayed for a few days. Carlist bands have appeared in Toledo, La Mancha, and Tarragona. The Political Chief of the latter province has been placed under arrest for not acting with sufficient energy against the insurgents. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 3.—The Three per Cents. closed on the 3d inst. at 28 cash; the Five per Cents., 17 5.16; Passives, 5; and Coupons,l3 cash. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The escape of M. PELLAPRA, and the seizure ol La Presse, are the subjects of comment in all of them, and the wily intriguers of the Tuileries are but too glad that these subjects occupy the attention of the gobe-mouches of Paris, and of foreigners while they pursue uninterruptedly their plots for securing to the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER speedy possession of the Spanish throne. It would almost appear as if the squabble between M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN and the Ministry was a " cross " got up after the approved " swell mob " fashion to enable their confederates to pursue their schemes of plunder without interruption. We yesterday stated that CHRIS TINA and NARVAEZ were reconciled. Senor SARAGOSSA has joined them in Paris, his object being to persuade NARVAEZ to return to Madrid, to put himself at the head of the Government, to depose the QUEEN, and to proclaim the accession of the Duchess DE MONTPENSIER. This scheme was, how ever, judged to be too rash for immediate execution, and has consequently been suspended until the pear shall ripen. In the meantime every method is put in practice to make the Duc DE MONTPENSIER popular with the army. No expense is spared for this pur pose, and Vincennes is what Versailles was in the days of Louts XIV. It would be a curious instance of retributive justice if the very means which are taken to secure for the Due DE MONTPENSIER a throne to which he has no right should, by their re action, produce a directly contrary effect, if the plotters of mischief in Spain should find their cunning plots recoil upon themselves—if " the Engineer should hoist with his own petard :" that such a consumma tion is not impossible let the following article from the Courrier Francais attest. After describing the last fete at Vincennes, it thus proceeds— " We had resolved, from shame and pity, to remain silent upon the subject of this fate given so mal• a propos, when the public mind was absorbed with sinis ter apprehensions. But the courtiers have spoken, and it is impossible for us not to protest, in the name of the respect that we feel for the dynasty, against their dan gerous adulations. Did not these persons comprehend the cries and hootings with which the populace of the faubourgs saluted the brilliant equipages as they passed along towards Vincennes ? To whom, then, were ad dressed these exclamations which publicly rendered so many honourable persons participators with some un worthy beings admitted to these galas : ' Down with the aristocrats ! Down with the robbers I' What con• fusion of brain could have made these courtiers advise' the Duke de Montpensier to give a fate at this moment, when the grand monde, the only class invited to it, are compromised by so many scandalous acts, and are seek-1 ing shelter in flight and exile from the Court of Assizes , or Court of Peers ? 111-judging men describe to us this luxurious feast as full of splendour and magnificence, at which the Garde-Meuble of the Crown displayeed all its ' resources; at which,%in the bowers and on the esplanades. artificial bouquets of light were used to illuminate bou quets of natural flowers—this fête, for which the King had given to his son an unbounded liberty to draw sup plies from the rich parterres of Versailles and Saint Cloud. But did not these ill-advised chroniclers, these historiographers of Trianon, fear that the people should reckon up what a fate so brilliant mus t have cost. It would be ascertained that the expenditure was greater than all the one hundred and odd thousand francs which the Royal Family have distributed towards the relief of the public misery. What, in the name of heaven, was the object of this Rite ? Alas ! you have told us 1 you flatter the army, but you leave the discontented people crying at the gate! Where was the need of this We, in which you travestied our soldiers into chamberlains of the palace? Was not the fancy camp at Compiegne suf ficient for you, assembled as it is in spite of the engage ments entered into by the Minister of War with the Chambers? Was it not a great honour paid by you to Messieurs de l'Artillerie, to confine their functions for that evening to presenting nosegays to the ladies as they arrived!—Oh, let us perfume ourselves with essence of benzoin and bergamot ! Let us sprinkle our shirt frills of Mecklin-lace with Spanish snuff ! Par la Sam bleu! there is nothing better to be done in these times 1 Behold those girandolas filled with wax lights, those downy sophas, those garlands of foliage interwoven into cyphers, that profusion of flowers, those innumerable cases of odoriferous shrubs, those Chinese and Venetian illuminations, those festoons, those astragals those panoplies of every epoch arranged for the embellishment of this showy fête, and amidst all this magn: cence, those voluptuous smiles gliding with their sistert the graces among those mysterious glades. To tell you that this fête continued from the evening until the morn ing would not be assez Regence. The Marquis de Vin cennes tell us—' The sun gilded the last waltz with his rays as he had saluted the first contre-danse with his last smiles.' Could the Chevalier de Boufflers ' or M. Jean Vatout himself, have better expressed it ? And then how you enumerate all the illustrious personages and celebrated beauties who were saluted by the last smile of the setting sun, and emblazoned by the first rays of his rising. Qui nommer,' exclaims the en raptured chronicler, dans ce merveilleux Fele-rcele de beaux noms etde charmans visages ?' Lovely Chloris, were you there ? and you, divine Aramintha ? But we were forgetting that at half-past eleven o'clock the supper-tent was thrown open, and continued to be inces santly renewed with fresh supplies with perfect order until half-past three in the morning.' People of France, how will you construe this ? You are told in ' langage pthieux' that at Vincennes they were four hours at supper. Ma foi !' is not this admirable ? Clown you are without bread; eat cakes. Who among these dainty counsellors will have the courage to point out to these young Princes the danger there is in their thus isolating themselves from the people ?" The Union Monarchique, in chronicling the say ings and doings of this fete, thus remarks on the want of feeling exhibited in making Vincennes, of all places in the world, the scene of such orgies. It says— The Third Report of the Irish Relief Commis• sioners last night again occupied the attention of both Houses of Parliament. In the Lords the Earl of RODEN moved "That copies of all informations con nected with these transactions which have been made to the Commissioners, together with the names of the chairmen of committees and justices of the peace re- erred to in the report, should be laid on the table," while in the Commons the Honourable Member for Mallow returned to the charge with a vigour and perseverance deserving of a more successful result, and demanded " That so much of the correspondence, with the names, rank, and residence of the parties referred to, as sustains the statement condemnatory of the conduct of committees or of individuals in carrying out the provisions of the Act," should be produced. We have already expressed our desire that those who have been guilty of the foul conduct imputed by that report should be held up to public odium and well merited disgrace. The parties who could wilfully sanction or participate in a wholesale fraud upon the country, by procuring, or "endeavouring to procure rations for a greater number of desti tute persons than there are individuals in the entire population of the district," which it is positively asserted by the Commissioners " has been attempted in several cases, and for several thousands in excess," are deserving neither of mercy nor exemption from every punishment recognised by the law for their _ _ almost unparalleled peculation. If they do not come within the operations of the law, if an adequate punishment cannot be pronounced on the offenders, the criminal code must be wholly defective, and in sufficient to meet the wants of the country. Under any circumstances they should no longer be permitted to retain any power of again interfering in the ma nagement of the public money, of again perpetrating similar iniquities. It is due to the British people to preserve the funds for which they had toiled and la boured with such indefatigable industry, and which they readily tendered for the relief of their suffering brethren in Ireland, and not to place them at the disposal of those who have ' deservedly forfeited their characters for uprightness and integrity. For these reasons we should gladly have seen the guilty parties exposed and punished. We do not, however, think it by any means neces sary for the vindication of the high-minded men who have acted, and are acting, with credit to themselves and benefit to the country, on the several relief committees. The inculpated parties are the excep tion and not the rule. Many districts were freed from every imputation, and it would be, indeed, a vile prejudice—a most unjustifiable calumny—on the part of any person who should dare to charge an Irish gentleman with a participation in the sordid crimes of the offenders, on no better foundation or stronger evidence than that some of his countryman had disgraced themselves by their infamous conduct. An honourable man will not deign to notice general charges. He will not suppose that they can be levelled against himself, and he will disregard them in the pride of conscious innocence. We do not mean to insinuate that the Noble and Honourable Members of either House who have called for, or supported, the inquiry were in any manner included in the charge, but we think that they have manifested, perhaps, too acute a sensibility with reference thereto, and have mistaken the true ground on which they should have insisted upon the investigation. Although we desire the publication of the names of the guilty parties, the Government have, perhaps, for the present (although we trust the time may arrive when concealment will no longer be expedient) acted judiciously in withholding the required infor mation. It is perfectly manifest that every person whose name was published, as being implicated in these transactions, would have a right to demand the fullest investigation into every part of his conduct. It would be the grossest injustice to refuse such an inquiry, which, at this period of the session, it would be wholly impossible to bring to a conclusion before the dissolution. The publication also might, in some respects, act oppressively, if made before an opportunity of explanation was afforded. The course decided on by the Government with respect to the accused magistrates appears deserving of approba tion. They have forwarded to all these magistrates copies of the allegations, and demanded their answer thereto, on receipt of which the Executive will be pre pared to take such steps as circumstances may render desirable or necessary. If this course should be far ther extended to all against whom charges of direct guilt had been preferred—if these persons also, what ever might be their rank or position in society, were called upon to furnish similar explanations, every thing that could be desired would be attained. The dishonest plunderers would be punished as they de served, the merely careless or negligent would receive an impressive admonition as to the necessity for greater care and diligence on future occasions ; while the British public would henceforward be assured of a fathful administration of the national resources, and the due application of their bounty to the objects con templated, and for whos e relief and benefit it was originally granted. " Princes are . unfortunatet They have not always time to have memory, and their courtiers rarely attempt to supply the defect. If some of those who surround the Duke de Montpensier had reminded the young Duke that the ditches of Vincennes had witnessed the murder of the noble and unfortunate Duke d'Enghien, he would, without doubt, have chosen another theatre for the publicity and magnificence of his fetes. Bona parte made of Vincennes a prison ; this was logical; he would never have made it a place for dancing and banquetting." The writer might have added, that but for the death of the Due D'ENCHIEN, the son of Louis PHILIPPE would never have shared with SOPHY DAWES the rich inheritance of the father of the un fortunate Duc D ' ENGHIEN—the still more unfortu nate Duc DE BOURBON—the last of the CONDE& The Duke DE MONTEBELLO, Minister of Marine and Colonies, is attacked with an indisposition which, without obliging him to keep his bed, is still suffi• ciently serious to prevent him from taking part in the debates of the Chamber. The trial of General CUBIERES and his co-accused commenced on Wednesday. On Wednesday the Chancellor, on the demand of the Procureur-General, issued against M. PELLAPRA a warrant of arrest. This act is the commencement of the default.tbeproceedings to be instituted against the accused The Constitutionnel says—" It appears that, after having made his preparations for departure during the day, M. PELLAPRA left Paris in the evening, at the very moment at which all the solicitude of the police was directed to the ball at the Minimes. M.

This letter was immediately sent to the Chancellor," At twelve o'clock on Wednesday the ceremony of presenting cardinal's hats to the Archbishops of CAMERAI and Bouucss, who were recently raised to that dignity, took place at the Tuileries. Accounts have been received from the island of Bourbon, which stated that new attempts had been made at Madagascar to renew commercial relations with Tamatave, but the Hovas persisted in excluding from the country all foreigners, without distinction. The English brig Arzac, after having.passed a month at Tamatave in making solicitations, had obtainedlper mission to disembark part of its cargo, on condition that it would take nothing from Madagascar. The concession subsequently appeared dangerous to the Government, and after the departure of the Arzac it interdicted all kinds of intercourse under penalties so severe that the packet-boat Bordelais, which arrived at Tamatave in January last, could not even succeed in disembarking a little box of medicines. The po pulations are represented to be afflicted at being thus deprived of the resources of European commerce. The village formerly occupied by the Euro peans at Tamatave has been burned down, with the exception of the house of a Frenchman, on which a trio•colour flog had been placed. On several points of the coast fortifications have been established. RADZACFIDY, formerly Governor of Tamatave, re mained in prison under the sentence which con demned him to death, for having disobeyed the orders of the QUEEN, but it was believed that he would con- trive to escape. The price of corn and flour in the Paris market continues to decline. The holders find it difficult to procure purchasers for any but the best quality, and then only at very reduced prices. • Although foreseen, the actual application by Go vernment for authority to contract a loan, caused a very considerable depreciation of prices on the Paris Bourse on Thursday.

The secu rities will afford an index to the increased business of the Bank, as well as the greater amount of notes em ployed. The slight advance in the Corn Market yesterday, added to the French loan, have had some effect upon the Money Market, although there is, perhaps, not any particular cause for apprehension. The exchanges upon the Continental cities are certainly declining, but as yet the specie going out is nearly counterbalanced by the imports from South America and other quarters, and it is still a matter of doubt whether a large amount will be required fur the United States.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, and heard appeals to-day. ROBINSON v. WALL.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls. The bill was filed for the specific performance of an agreement en tered into by the plaintiffs as the assignees of Sir Thomas Champneys, an insolvent, for sale to the defendant, Flight, of the interest in certain property to which the insolvent was entitled in right of his wife, who had a life interest in it. The assignees being desirous of selling the interest of the insolvent, who was advanced in life, Lord Mostyn, whose wife was interested in the pro perty, subject to the interests of Sir Thomas and Lady Champneys, made a proposal to the assignees for the purchase of their interest. He was anxious, also, to purchase the interest of Lady Champneys, and he offered to pay 35,0001. for the interest of the assignees, and to pay 4001. a year to Lady Champneys for her interest. An arrangement was come to on this footing, which was carried into effect by a deed, dated 13th August, 1838. It recited that the assignees were of opinion that it would be advantageous to the creditors to accept Lord Mostyn's offer, but they had no power to sell except by auction; that they were willing to put the pro perty up to sale by auction, and if Lord Mostyn should attend and bid 35,0001., and there was no higher bidding, he should become the purchaser at that sum; but if there was a higher bidding at the sale, it should be accepted. And Lord Mostyn contracted to purchase the interest of the assignees, and to pay 35,000/. for the same, and to pay an annuity of 4001. to Lady Champneys for her in terest. And it was provided that the contract should be deemed one entire contract. And the assignees were to procure the assent of the creditors to the arrangement, and the sale was to be without reserve, except so far as the bidding of 35,0001. by Lord Mostyn might be con sidered a reserved bidding. By this arrangement the assignees secured a bidding of 35,0001. for their interest. They procured the assent of the creditors, who passed a resolution that the reserved bidding should be 35,0001.; and on the 10th of November, 1838, the sale by auction took place. It was expressly stated in the particulars of sale that this property was sold without reserve. There was no reference to the contract with Lord Mostyn. There were many biddings at the sale, and it was said that a bidding was ultimately made, on behalf of Lord Mostyn, of 4978004, and that Wall, as agent of Flight, then bid 50,0001., who became the purchaser at that sum, and the usual contract was signed. Sir Thomas Champneys died in November, 1839, and this bill was filed in the following April. The bill was to compel Mr. Flight to perform his contract. Perform ance was resisted on several grounds. The first was that the estate was professed to be sold without reserve, and that no notice was given of the agreement with Lord Mostyn, securing. a bidding of 35,000/. On the case coming before the Master of the Rolls, that Learned Judge was of opinion that whilst the agreement remained in force, the sale ought not to have been professed to be made without reserve. A reserved bidding was a right to make a bidding to prevent a sale for less than a certain sum. Lord Mostyn had entered into an obligation to advance the price to 55,0001. It did not appear to him to make any differ ence whether the bidding was made by the vendors per sonally or their agent, or some other person, who, for a consideration moving from him, had enterkcl into a con tract to do it. The auction appeared to biln to have commenced in error. It was from the beginning with reserve, when it was expressed to be without reserve. He thought, in the absence of notice of the agreement with Lord Mostyn, the auction was improperly con• ducted, and that the contract was one which ought not to be specifically performed. The bill must be dismissed with costs, except as to the costs occasioned by the denial of Flight, in his answer, that Wall was his agent, a fact which was admitted. From this judgment the parties appealed to the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship this morning, after going at some length into the case, stated his opinion clearly to be, that the Court below had come td 'a right Conclusion, and he should therefore order that judgment to be affirmed with costs. Appeal dismissed with costs. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN RE SMITS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business at Brent wood, came up for his last examination.. He stated that he had not been able to pay the accountant, and conse quently had not filed his balance sheet ; his inability arose in consequence of the assignees having refused to grant him any allowance, although the assets would amount to nearly 1,0004 His HoNouu—ls that a reality or only assets in figures ? The Official Assignee said there were a great many debts to get in, but he could not say what would be recovered. His HONOUR said that this was one of the cases where the creditors took everything from the bankrupt, and debarred him from doing what the law required. He hoped that, in the new Act, the point would bo taken into consideration. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE said, in such cases, ho always directed the official assignee to make out the accounts, and allowed him a reasonable sum for so doing. His HONOUR thought this an advisable course in the present case, and adjourned the case for one month, with protection to the bankrupt. 28% 104 , ,i 7% 54% 9% 179 37 4% 102% 453 par % dis. 128% 48% 1% par 37 1 , 16N THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)

On the order of the day for bringing up the report upon this Bill being read, Lord JOHN MANNERS moved the insertion of a clause in the Bill, suspending the stamp duties on policies of insurance effected on grain-laden British ships till the Ist day of March, 1848. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the clause. After a few words from Mr. Forster, Mr. Thornely, and Lord J. Manners, in reply, Strangers were ordered to withdraw. No division, however, took place, the clause having been withdrawn. The report upon the Bill was then agreed to. RECOVERY OF PUBLIC MONEYS (IRELAND', BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill, and Lord CLEMENTS denounced, on the part of Ireland, the injustice of any attempt on the part of the Govern ment to recover the repayment of even a single shilling of the monies which had been advanced by this country. Mr. HUME and Mr. P. SCROPE insisted upon the right of this country to exact a punctual repayment of the loans advanced by it. Sir J. GRAHAM thought that it was highly neces sary that some distinct understanding should be come to upon the subject of these loans, and that the utmost punctuality should be observed in the repayment of the several instalments in exact conformity with the laws under which the money had been advanced. At the same time he would have no objection to allow to the Govern ment a discretionary power, with respect to some of the poorer parts of the country, as to the mode and amount of the repayments to be made. After a few words from Lord CLEMENTS, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a more inappropriate occasion could not have been chosen by the Noble Lord for expressing the opinion he had just stated to the House than the present one, when the Bill under consideration actually proposed to remit one-half of the amount of debt to which the people or Ireland were liable, under the laws which had been passed at their own most earnest and urgent request, as being necessary to prevent the people from starvation. Mr. TRELAWNY thought that it was the duty of the House to enforce payments of the loan, and it no other means were available, they ought to sell the lands of Ireland, and even the owners of it themselves. — (Laughter.) Mr. W. PATTEN thought that the feelings of the people of this country were extremely acute upon the subject of the relief afforded to - Ireland, and they would insist upon the repayment of the money which had been, perhaps, too liberally and too lavishly bestowed by Parliament. The people of Liverpool had suffered most severely from the effects of Irish distress. Lord CLEMEN TS thought that there was no place on the face of the earth which ought with greater fairness to be taxed for the support of the Irish poor than Liverpool, for that port derived great profits from its commercial transactions with the people of Ireland. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought it most preposterous to set against the disease and privations to which the inha bitants of Liverpool had been exposed, the profits which a few individuals might make by their private transac tions with the people of Ireland. Mr..BROTHERTON thought that this country had deserved great credit for the assistance it had rendered to Ireland in the late distress, and he sincerely hoped that the money advanced would be gratefully and punctually repaid. After a few words from Mr. Trelawny, Sir R. Fer guson, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. W. Brown, and Lord W. Powlett, The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the House having resumed, the Chairman reported accord ingly. HERRING FISHERY (SCOTLAND).
