THE BI:DGET.—Our Liverpool correspondent. says:
--" The general opinion expressed has been favourable to
the government scheme—with the exception of the proposi-
tion of the continued income tax. It is eonsielered, how-
ever, that with a few modifications, Mr. Gladstone will be
able to carry through his measures. A telegraphic despatch
from Marcluster states that the budget had given the
greatest entiefaetion in that town."
THE CITY LIIIII.IRY.—Mr. Williams, chairman of
the library committee, brought before the Common Coun-
cil on Thursday a report on the state of the library at
Guildhall, in which they said:—" We have resolved
upon the compilation end printing of a new classified
catalogue. The very important additions to the library
since the year 1812, when the last supplement to the
c'assed catalogue was printed, rendered such a work
almost indispensable, as sines that time (via. in 1845)
au alphabetical index, only to the manuscript catalo; or,
Isar been issued. It is scarcely necessary to state the great
and numerous advantages which a methodical arrangement
of hooks pommel ova a list which is simply alphabetical.
With whatever accuracy the latter may be compiled it can
be f ff. duel only to those who are in search of a particular
work, or ore well acquainted with the subject in which
they are interested, bat a classed catalogue immediately
f. missiles that information, and exhibits, at the same
• ime, the particular excellence or deficiency of the eel lee-
!tion. Witt such a catalogue to form the principal part of
the volume, your committee intend to have an alph.ebetiral
list of the suhjerts int, which it is divided, and to render it
will more practically useful, an index of authors and' of
the titles of their works will be added, each refers log to the

THE DISMISSAL AND 'REINSTATEMENT OF MR
KIRWAN.
The Earl of EGLINTON rose, pursuant to notice, to
meee far copies of the repreeentatinne made to the lisrl of
ri.crraiine, which lied induced him to reinstate Mr. Kir-
wan. Ile felt that an epalorty was due from him for bring
ing under the consideration of the house a case in which he
was perosnally interests]. Ile brought it forties], however,
from no reelect: of hostility to the noble earl at the head of
the sesernmeat in Ireland, with whom he was happy to say
he hi .1 always been on term, of intimacy ; neither did he
esti even the least ill.feeling towards the gentleman to
whom the motion referred. Ills only with was to prove
that his t induct in this transactionhad been right, and to
prevent so inexpedient an act on the part of the Irish go-
verament Mine rep. ated. The case aroos oat of the late
general i lection. Their lordships knew that in Ireland •
great many cases of red and turbulence occurred on such
one t.inne, and perhaps there were more than usual on the
lest iossion. The ease in question arise at the election
fir the county of M cvn, at a place called Bettina. Mr.
Kissel was a Woe ndiery nsseistrete. The substance of
the clung s quartet Mr. Kirwan, as set forth in one of the
documents read by the noble lord, was as follows.—That Mr.
Kirwan being %pet-idly deputed to /inserts the public peace,
and tiding the town in a stete of some excitement, remained
for enure time whol`e to ie. ire, taking nn measures to
press rye the peen, sed making light of the iudications of
di•terli ie.er ; that the turbulence et the mob progressively
inert tool rte they were encouraged by impunity ; that this
furevelable spirit of insubordination was further fostered by
the illejudreel measure of publicly liberating prisoners as-
rested in Ow perpetration of a most formidable outage ;
and finally, that this want of energy and promptitude still
continue.% ne the first day of the p•llling, when the grievous
eenduct of the mob towards eentemen who were guilty
merely of exercising their elective franchise `tat so nearly
led to fatal consequences." Alit r some further de-
tails of the defective character of Mr. Kirevan's con-
duct, the noble earl went on to say that the
tonne which he (the robe earl) had taken in merely sus.
pendlug the gentleman from 'is functions for six menthols*,
mot lenient in its nature. The stipendiary magistracy in
leel .rd was not et all competent for the difficult duties
watch they had to perform, and he thought that one-third
of thed body might properly be dismissed, and that the
efficiency and reputation of the whole body would then be
inereas.d. Cot eltheutth disminal 07 censure were courses
perfectly open to him, he had only suspended Mr.
Kirwan, believing that he had thus acted mercifully;
and he leoal consequently been greatly astonished
to observe that the very Soo net of his successor in the
Viceroyalty was to restore Mr. Kirwan to his functione-
There was no country in the world which stood in such
nerd of firmness and impartiality in administration as Ire-
land; there was no country which it would be more de-
sirable to Iniginve with the idea that it was governed
equitable. (Hear, hear.) It was, therefore, very expe-
dient tlt it one viceroy should not coetravene the sets of the
prem.' ieg viceroy except in very peculiar cirrumstantes ; and
in this caw there was no apparent cireumst ince whatever to
vindicate the Ceps taken by Lord St. Germans. (Hear,
bear.) In toutlusion the noble. 4 arl moved. pursuant to
notice, foe papers, observing, however, that lie, of course,
did not want the papers, and made the motion only to
saved him the opportunity of going into the ease.
The Earl of ABERDEEN could heed:y object to •
emotion for papers which were not in existence. (Hear.
hear) He was not surprised that the noble earl should
tel warmly in regard te • circumstance which might ap-
pear to cast a reflection upon his own conduct in an
*Mee which he had filled s ith such distinguished
success; het be thought that the noble earl had attached
an undue imperils° to the matter. Ile could assure the
teddy earl that there bad not been, in this transaction, the
slightest intention whatever to cast any slur upon the
nohle • earl's discretion. ( near, bear.) The decision in
respect to this siperediary magistrate had been come to
previous to Lord 5:. Germans leaving England ; and it was
only accidentally that 'fleet was given to that decision open
Lool St. Germans arriving in Dublin. (Hear, hear.) la
that decision no reference whatever was made to the course
pursued by tie noble earl (leglintona, and that course could
not at all be considered to have been brought in question.
He (Lord Aberdeen) would offer an opinion on this special
ease hut, speaking general)y, he felt bound to express his
cowrie/in that it was not judicious to resort to the alterna-
tive of suspension in the euniehment of ao offending
stipendiary magistrate. When that sort of punishment
was inflicted an reality aothirg whatever was accom-
plished ; the magistrate returned to his office just
in the position in which he had left it, nothing
the worse and certainly nothing the better for the seven-
Mon. (Mess-, hear) That probably was the view taken in
this instance ; and, theref .ire, it could not be supposed that
Earl St. Germans' opinion was that the sentence was too
severe; and the noble earl opposite would admit that if
suspension was the proper sentence, the 'imitation of the
period by two months could be of slight consequence, and
aesuredly was a limitation perfectly within the discretion of
a nee viceroy to effect. (Hear, hear.) If the discretion
and the right of a new viceroy were questioned in such a
particular, be did not see that one government could be at
all different in any way in its aspects from another. (Hear,
bear.) He (Lord Aberdeen) would, however, not enter
into any Impend aroument, and had only to repeat his is-
sursnces to the noble earl, that no personal slight or disre-
spree could poesiuly have been intended; sad having ob-
i/int-el that assurance the noble earl had probably gained
the eject he hail had in view in introducing the subject to
their lordships.
The Earl of GLENGALL thought that the assu-
rance of the noble earl was satisfactory ; but, never-
theism, considered that the effect of the act of Bart St.
Germans was to east a slur anal discredit upon the course
taken by Lord Eglinton, and, at all events, he was satisfied
that the act taken by the present government had not been
well considered.
The Earl of DERBY thought that his noble friend had
amply gained his object in the assurance which ha bad re-
ceived from the noble earl opposite. But he (the Earl of
Derby) must nevertheless express his opinion that the
course taken by the present government in reversing this
act of their immediate predecessors was, to say the least,
suspicious in its aspect, and might shake the belief of the
people of Ireland in the impartiality of the imperial govern-
ment. (Hear, hear.)
The Duke of NEWCASTLE expressed his gratficatioa
that the noble earl who had just sat down was satisfied, and
he hoped the noble earl who had brought forward the motion
and the house were also satisfied that there was no inten-
tion on the part of the Lord Lieutenant to cast a slur on the
noble earl his predecessor. But he (the Duke of New-
caole) protested against the fairness of the statement of the
noble earl (Derby) when he said that this proceeding would
impress on the people o: Ireland a conviction that the pre-
sent government were not actuated by a spirit of impartial-
sty. The noble earl had made a great deal of • small
matter; and how he was to show that there had
been ipartiality in this ease lie (the Duke of
Newcastle) was at a loes to understand. Was it
because the ra wietrate in question was a Roman
catholic ? [Lord Derby—l did not know it]. Ho was glad
that that was the case ; but could it be said that there was
any partiality evinced, when at the same time a similar offer
was mole to a noble friend of his whom he saw opposite
(the Earl of Rodeo). It was impossible to say that any
slur on the late Lord Lieutenant was intended, or any par-
tedity shown. With reference to the question which had
been put by the noble earl (Derby), he would any that there
Was no insistent On the part of the government to withhold
any information, and he bad a very ingenious dedueement
when he said, that as the Lord Lieutenant was in London
when he replaced Mr. Kirwan, he must have had some
written communication on the subject, and that it had been
withheld. The facts were, that the Chief Secretary far
Ireland being in Dabliu, a number of gentlemen, both
Roman catholics and protestant.' called on him, and urged
on him to recommend to the Lord Lieutenant the restora-
tion of Mr. Kirwan to the commission of the peace. Ills
eight hon. friend accordingly investigated the case, and,
having done so, he recommended the Lord Lieutenant to
restore Mr. Kirwan. That explanation he hoped would be
sufficient to prove that there had been no suppression of any
document.
The Earl of RODEN was sorry to hear the speech of
his noble friend who bad just sat down, for what his
noble friend hail said had changed the opinion he bad
entertained with regard to the feeling which exited in
the mini of the Lord-Lieutemant when that noble lord
offered to restore him to the commission of the peace ; fur
it now appeared that that offer was made in connexion with
the restoration of fr Kirwan.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE apologised for interrupting
his noble friend ; but he wished at once to correct a misuse
destanding under which his noble friend was labouring.
He (the Duke of Newcastle) did not intend to imply any-
thine of the kind stated by. his noble friend. The Lord
Lieutenant ban no each nitration, snit acted on no such
principle. All that he (the Duke of Newcastle) deduced
from the eircemstaeree was, that the effect on the people of
biked most be that they would see that the Lord Lieu-
tenant was animated by no party feeling, when his first act
wan to of., to restore Ide noble Irked to the commission of
the pear*, although his noble friend was an opponent of the
present government.
The Earl of RODEN was end that his noble friend had
at once taken an utiportunify of explaining what he was
sum was a asisapprete imun of his, but he could not help
saying that the Opinion oh every one is Ireland with
regard to the circumstances insetted with Mr. Kirwan
and himself, wee that which he had just now expressed.
Lord S T. LEON ARDS thought so one could find fault with
the extent of the punishment as compared with the offense
he thought Mr. Erie in deserved a more severe sentence.
Bit the noble earl at the head of the govereout nt bail far
the first time f 'unit fault with the suspension of megistrates
as a scondary punishment, and said that it 'timid be better
either to reams or &wane them; and what he said to-

night would of course have its weight in Ireland. Ole 1/4Lorit
St. Leopards) had had occasion in Ireland to exercise the I;
function of punishing mai/nitrates to a greater extent than
the Lords Lieutenant, as it rested with the Chancellor to
deal with the magistrates generally, while only the resident
magistrates were under the control of the Lord L:sutenant. I
On several occasions he bad suspended ordinary magistrates,
and after he had exereissd the power once or miles it oc-
curred to him to consider whether it was constitutional to ;
do as--es to its expediency he never had sue ilcubt---or
j whether he ought not at once to have dis- I
missed them if their conduct required more than
censure ; for he had some dooot whether a :
gentleman who wee suspended should still held ,
the commission of the peace. lie hail mode inquiry, and ,
had come to the conclusion that such a course was not un- ,
mastitutioeal. If he (Lord St. Leonard's) reinstated a
magistrate, or remitted a portion of a sentence, he stated
clearly and fully the grounds on which he did so. If that
had been done in the present instance, there would have
been no occasion fur what h.d now taken place. lie
would press on the government the impolicy of sending
forth to Ireland any opinion against the suspension of ma- .
gistrates.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he hail no Intention of
taking part in this debate, and was only desirous of saying ,
a few words in consequence of what had fallen Irons his ;
noble and learned friend, which, considering the great I
weight to which his opinions were entitled, mktht lead to
misconception. Ile understood his noble and learned fri. nd
to say that it was his practice, not with record
to stipendiary magistrates, but ordinary magis-
trates, to punish them by suspension(hear) ; and that
a doubt passed through his mind as to wt ether it was eon-
stitutionol to do so, however expedient it might be. He
(the Lord Chancellor) must say that he heard that state- !
mel.t of his noble and learned friend with astniiishment, fur :
ho knew of no process by which the Chancellor could sus-
pend a mseistrate. All that he could do was to strike him
out of the commission of the peace. Ho thought it was I
ncither a wholesome or constitutional course for a Chen-
tenor to take a step which he bad no power to enforce. If
• rersoa was a magistrate, he was invested with all the
power of the office, and if he was found unfitted for its the
only course was to strike him nut of the commission pf
the peace. That was the view he (the Lord Chancellor)
took of the ease as at present advised ; and if it was erro-
neous, he should be glad to he corrected. With regard to
the subject before the house. ho would only say that he
thought it a dangerma principle to lay down, that a viceroy
on going to any part of her Majesty's dominions should
feel himself restrained in the exercise of his prercgative of
mercy.
The Earl of CLANCARTY expressed his satisfaction at
the explaratioes which hod been given with regard to the
eoeihret of the Lord Lieutenant in the cue of Mr. Kirwan.
With reference to the ease of his noble friend (the Earl of
Ited(n) he thought it was a matter for grave consideration,
and as he thought the mere his noble triend had brought
forward ought to be on the table of the house, he begged
to give notice that on Thurelsy he should move for copies
of the cerreepondence in question. On the whole he thought
this ease a,serted a very dangerous doctrine, and one too,
which would act prejudicially to the public interest upon
the minds of the stipendiary magistrates of Ireland. (Hear.)
The Eari of DERBY said his noble friend who intro-
duced this subject had been compelled to leave the Ileuse
from fatigue, hut he had rept( sted him to state that it was
not his intention to persevere with the motion.
The motion was aceordinnly withdrawn.
