the best security for peace was being prepared for was;
although there was no appearance of the disturbance of
that tranquillity which he hoped would long continue.
The increased communication between European countries
would render war more horrible than ever, and, therefore,
he rejoixd in thew measures of free trade which would have
the effect of rendering it as impossible as it was horrible.
Lord BROUGHAM, having thanked his noble frieno
behind him for his eloquent and manly statement, was, at
the same time, unwilling it should go forth that the naval
and military defences of the country were in a state of week-
nese. This country had new a s•urce of strength which he
believed it never had before, and that lay in the perfect
union of feeling with which all parties and dares would
enter into the struggle. If ever the voice of war should
again go forth, he believed we should be found—

POOR RELIEF SUPERVISION (IRELAND) BILL
On the order of the day for the committee on this bill being
reed,
Earl St. GERMANS moved that the bill be committed
that day three months. He objected to the bill as putting
the chief secretary in Ireland in the same position of imam-
mnience as the chief secretary in England, with reference to
the poor-law authorities of Somerset House. That was to
my. he would have, on every cue of difficulty, to apply fat
information to the supervisors under the bill.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE defended the bill. It
would give the principal power to the Lord Lieutenant and
thief secretary, where it no doubt would be must efficiently
exercised.
Lord MONTEAGLE would support the amendment el
the noble earl. From all he had heard, the office of Lewd
Lieutenant of Irelaud was net likely to be permanent; and,
therefore, he was not willing to encumber it with any sow
powass.
The Earl of WICKLOW was of opinion that the treaties
of a separate poor-law jurisdicion for Ireland, distinct fetes,
and independent of, the English poor-law commission, wee a
measure entirely uncalled for, and be agreed for that rams
with the noble earl (St. Germans) on the other side in Ids
opposition to the bill.
The Earl of ROSSE urged upon the government the no.
amity for calling the landlords of Ireland into active or
operation with the poor-law commissioners about to be
established under the present bill. He hoped care would be
taken in selecting proper persons to administer the poor bee
in Ireland, by which he meant persons who were acquaineed
with Irish society in all its details, and he further mese
express a wish to see the new Irish poor-law commission
connected with the English commission, in order to have the
advantage of being supported by the aathority and ear&
ence which had been acquired by the latter.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the question
before the house was not as to details, but whether the Irish
poor.law commission wu to be under the immediate super-
intendence and control of the Lord Lieutenant, or to be in
connexion with, and subordinate to, tha English poor-law
commission On this point he differed tato eel° from his
noble friends on the bench below and opposite (Lords Mont-
eagle and St. Germans), and he begged to tell attention to
the fact, that the connexion with, and subordination to, the
English poor-law commission of the Irish commiasion was a
necessary consequence of the want of experience, which
had since been acquired in all matters relating te Irish
pauperism.
The amendment was then negatived without a division,
sad the bill went through committee, and was ordered to be
reported on Thursday next (to-morrow).
The house adjourned at a quarter past eight o'clock to
Thursday.
