three months the longest voyage had occupied _
the shortest 84 days. It appeared that young
women were *skein chugs of at South Australia they
landed by a committee of ladies, who dm found suitable
employment for them. He would now state some of the
measures which bad been adopted with a view of increasing
this .emigration. Tho expense must, of course, be
mainly provided for by the colonies; and the voyage to
Australia was so much larger than that to America, that a
considerable portion of the expense was paid out of private
resources in this country. For so long a voyage emigrants
required en extensive outfit, which, with other expense',
generally cost them 61. each. He had instructed the Land
and Emigration Commissioners to consider themselves, as it
were, trustees for the colonies, with the view of snaking the
revenue obtained from the sale of land productive of the
largest possible amount of benefit to the colonies, so that
when there was a comparatively. small number of emigrants
the amount required of them might be lessened to encourage
increased emigration. The number of emigrants varied very
much. A year ego there was some difficulty in obtaining a
full number for Australia; but now, on the contrary, the
unfortunate depression of trade, and consequent diminution
of employment, had caused a great demand for emigration to
Australia ; and the Emigration Commissioners had been able
to obtain en additional pound from the emi-
grants, thus enablins the fund of the colonies
to send out a greater number of emigrants. In
consequence of the French revolution a large number of
English workmen had been compelled to leave France, and
although they had been employed in manufactures, and had
net been accustomed to agricultural pursuit., he was anxious
to afford every facility for sending them to Australia, and
after various communications with his noble friend (Lord
Ashley), who had taken a deep interest in this, as he did in
all benevolent objects, it was arranged that by a subscription
in this country of 41. per head for the adults, and 21. for the
children, these workmen should be sent out to Australia,
and he believed they would prove to be a most eligible class
of emigrants. The extensive emigration which had taken
place annually to Canada and the United States, especially
from Ireland, was provided for by funds remitted from
America by the friends of persons in this country who had
previously emigrated; and great facilities existed for making
such remittances from America, but such had not been the
rase a ith reference to Australia. It was,however,now arranged
that emigrants going to Australia might p ey money to the
commissariat officer in the colony, and so have it remitted
to this country and app.ied by the emigration commissioners
to sending out any persons in whore favour such remittances
might be made. Ile was inclined to anticipate the most
favourable results from such an arrangement, ter wages were
higher in Australia than in Canada, and the laboureis were
not liable to interruptiou in their work by the severity of
the winter season. He was even willing to hope that work-
ing men would club together themselves in this country in
order to enable one or two of their number to emigrate who,
in their turn, might remit money borne to ethers to
join them. New Zealand and the Cape of Good Hope were
both most favourable fields, but the tide of emigration to
those colonies had not of late been very great ; 18,000 per-
sons bad, however, been sent out to Australia, at a
cost exceeding a quarter of a million. He had confined
his observations to the Australian colonies chiefly
because the papers which he had presented related
to them but he might say, with regard to North
America, that the continued :and anxious attention both of
the government and the provincial authorities woe directed
to the means which might be adopted with the most success
with the view of extending and promoting emigration to
that country, and facilitating the settlement of the fertile
land which the British empire possessed in that region of the
globe. (Hear, hear.) lie felt sanguine that hereafter it
would be in his power to show that much had been done to
promote this end. (lieu, hear.) Before he eat down Le
would add one fact which had come to his knowledge within
a few days, showiag the rapid progress of the Australian
colonies. Sir Charles Fitzroy, in his speech to the Legisla-
tive Council of New South Wall e, on the 24th of March, io
the present year, slid that, notwithstanding the commercial
depreo ion in the mother country, snd the low price of colo-
nial produce, the chief resources of the colony had increased
in a most surprising manner. The exports of wool
had reached, in the last year, 22,000,00001b0, the official value
of which was 1,260,0001., being an increase of 6,700,01,011e5.
over the previous year, and equal to the whole exportation
of the year 1838, only seven years before. (Hear, hear ) The
export of tallow, it appeared, in 1847, had been 60,000 cwt.,
the official value of which wee 107,0001_, bring an increase
over the previous year of 47,0001. The interest of the sub-
ject, both to the mother country and to the colonies would,
be hoped, he deemed a sufficient excuse for the leneth at
which he had trespassed upon their lordships' time. (Hear.)l
The noble earl concluded by laying certain papers on the
table relating to the Australian colonies.
Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his regret that the state-
merit of the noble earl should have contained no reference to
the important question of colonisation. particularly when he
recollected that the first act of the no le earl's lit,. under his
noble father was to introduce that question. Something
more, therefore, might hove been expected from the noble
earl than the small and meagre scheme of doing nothing
which he had propounded ti their lordships that evening.
On the let of June, 1847, an address to the crown was una.
nimously carried in the other house of parliament, recom-
mendin 7 a system of coloois lion and inquiry on the subject,
and her Majesty in her reply said she would give instruction
for ouch steps as might carry out the object of that ad- rem.
But no such steps had been taken by the government, anc no
such special inquiry as had been recommended took place.
Something had been done, he was sorry to ray, to obstruct and
check emigration to British North America, aml done' too,
at the suggestion of the nobl • lord himself, and to the deep
disappointment of those interested in the experiment. The
noble lord read extract+ from various epeechei and docu-
ments to prove those allegations aeainst the government and
the n earl—amonest others extracts from despatches in
which the noble earl admitted the want of and ev in promised
tome comprehensive and systematic scheme of colonisation.
Where was that scheme 1 Weld the noble earl come for-
ward and address his governor, Lord Elkin, with a view to
the introduction of any such practical scheme, or would he
attempt to me t those diffieul ies and discharge those duties
which he had himself admitted ought to he met and dis-
charged ? The noble earl next referred to the address of the
'meeker of the )louse of Assembly in t toe of our Australian
ramjets and to other authorities, to show that so great was
the dearth of labour that they had not a sufficiency to cut
their abundant crops ; and his recommendation would
be, instead of importing Indian corn to export labour.
The same might be said of the Cape, Canada, and other colo-
nies, where there was an almost inexhaustible soil, but a de-
ficiency of labour. The question of emigration was now be-
ginning to be considered by the people of thes country as an
imperial question, apart from the mere selfish motive of
clearing If a reduellant population, and as a qu.s'ion in-
volving the well being alike of the colonies, the emigrants,
and the mother country. It was the duty of parliament to
do that fi ir the coloeies in providing them with labour by a
large and comprehensive scheme of emigr.sticn which they
could nut do for tuemselves. Colonisation would then be-
come what it ought to he—a source of prosperity to all ; to
the colonies by giving a value to their uncultivated lands,
which they had not now ; aid to the mother country by re-
lieving the overpopulated districts ofthe pressure which now
weighed upon thi m. He was sorry to say that there was
nothing in the noble lord's explanation to lead the house to
suppose that any such lane and general scheme wan in con-
templation by the government, or that his noble friend pro-
posed to redeem the pledge he gave in that respect. He
regretted this on general grounds hut I specially in .egad
to Ireland, fur it was impessible to say what danger might
arise from the id. eta of the next few months on the physical
condition of the people of that country.
Earl GREY denied that in the speech he made on Mr.
Buller'a motion in the House of Commons he had urged
measures of extensive colonisation on principles different
from those which he now supported. He had newt dis-
puted the value of increasing our intercourse with our colo-
nies, or of creating in them new markets for our manufae-
tur,s; but what he doubted was the value of emigration
when looked upon merely as a means of effecting any posi-
tive reduction in the population. Now the shackles of
labour were removed, and men were allowed to turn their
labour to the best account, he believi d there never would be
wanting here, for any length of time, the means of employ •
meat fur any great number of the people. There would be i
occasional difficulties of .ours:, but those difficulties would
be temporary, and that there were no, the means in this
country of producing comfort and wealth for those who
would labour he did not believe—and any attempt on the
part of the state to create any undue or violent dimi-
nution in the number of the population by arti•
finial means would be useless, se it would nee scanty and
inevitably be followed by such an increase as would rapidly till
the vacuum thus occasioned. In Ireland, howl ver, the case
was, in some respects, different. In that country there were
difficulties arising from political as well es economical cir-
cumstances, which operated against the employment of
labour, and which gave a greater value to emigration as a
means of reducing the competition of labour. This had
always been his opinion, but to look forward to it as a syste-
matic means of carrying off an immense number of the popu-
lation to the colonies had never been the view in which emi-
gration had been regarded by him. The sentiments he had
expressed to-night were the same as he had expressed in
1843 in the House of Commons. The great difference bi -
tween his noble friend and himself was, that his noble friend
thought an enormous grant of public money—several mil-
lions—should be applied to emigration purposes. lie, on the
other hand, considered it unjust to that part of the pepula-
tion that remained at home that large sums should be taken
from the taxes of this country for such a purpose—and that
the more prudent course for the state to take was rather to
assist and direct, leaving the emigrants to act Ppontaeeously
for themselves, than to undertake to plant great numbers of
the people of this country on the vacant lands of the colonies.
The noble lord, by contrasting the present position of South
Australia with Western Australia and the eastern division
of the Cape, showed tbe'advantsge of the system of making
the sale of the colonial lands the means of providing the
colonies with labour over that of government grants His
noble friend complained that nothing had been done by the
governmsn; in reference to the address of the House of Com-
mons of last year. True, it was, that that addrs as had net
been transmitted to the governors of the colonies with
directions to make inquiries and report the result,
but, previous to that address and since, he had been
in constant communication with those governors upon
the sueject of emigration, and the best means of pro-
moting it, and the result of those communications was
the papers he had now laid on the table of the house. With
regard to Canada, the attention of the executive council had
been earnestly directed to the subject of colonisation, and it
was because he did not consider it his duty to press his opi-
nions against the experience and knowledge which the Cana-
dians must have of their own affairs, that be bad not pressed

which they were not at New York. (Hear.)
There was in Canada the moat perfect system
for the assistance and guidance of the emigrant
in seeking far employment, and it had worked to the mani-
fest advantage of those persons. But to say that government
was to select emigrants, and that in such numhen as was
suggested by the noble lord, was ridiculous. What a task
would it he for government officers to select a body of
260p00 emigrants ! Why the thing was physically impoa-
sible. (Hear, hear.) What government ought to do, and
what they would do, was to hold out every inducement to
those who were fit to emigrate to do to of their own accord.
Thit was the plan which they had hitherto pursued both in
Australia end Canada; and they had no reason to be diss de-
fied with the results.
UNLAWFUL OATHS (IRELAND) BILL.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR, in moving that this bill be
read a Si coed time, said that their lordships were aware that
certain acts had been passed at varium 'times for Ireland,
making certain oaths unlawful. The first was the 60 Oeo.
111., the second the 4th Ono. IV.. and the third was the 2
and 3of her present Majesty. The first of those acts
made certain societies unlawful, and the second and third
provided against the administering of unlawful oaths, de-
scribed certain societies which wire to be deemed unlawful.
and ordained that certain penal. its should be inflicted on the
administering of unlawful oaths. Now, if it were possible,
without adding any further provisions, to ascertain what were
the objects of societies considered dangerous by the govern-
ment—if what was going on at these meetings could
he discovered—the law WI it stood would be suffi-
cient, but, unfortunately, although a society might be deemed
illegal, there was still great difficulty in ascertaining the
nature of its proceedings. This was illustrated by what had
recently taken place in Ireland. Societies notoriously sedi
tions had been formed, and had held frequent meeting,,but it
had been found quite impossible toget at their proceedinge, and
the consequence had been, that by means of these societies
or clubs, as they were called, that rebellion, as it was termed,
had be- n organised which had led to so much mischief and
alarm. Fertunately that rebellion had not gone on to the
extent intended by its authors; hut he need not tell their
lordships that although a rebellion might he suppressed by
the authorities, still, unless means were formed to suppress
secret societies and the various ramifications o: conapiracy,lt
was vain to expect any:hing like permanent tranquillity in
Ireland. (Hear.) By means of societies of this description the
peace of that country had been disturbed, and war had been
carried on against her Majesty', forces, although, fortunately,
to but an inconsiderable extent. The government hod lung
known, an l circumstances bail ultimately proved, that these
suspicions were not unfounded, that conspiracies were going
on in these secret societit s, and used what means were in
their power fir the purpose of checking the mischief. The
bill which he held in his hand proposed to renew the acts
which made certain societies illegal, and having declared
such societies illegal for a further period of two years, the last
clause made the previous enactments effectual by tarnishing
the means of preventing these societies from carrying on
their machinations. To provide for the swearing of meet
informations before a magistrate was impossible, but as much
as could be done was clone by this clause. It required that de-
positionashould be sworn to helore a magistrate to this effect, I
that reasonable suspicions existed that certain societies were I
carrying on illegal practices, upon which the bill empowered
the magistrate to issue his w , authore.ing certain offi-
cers of the police to attend those meetings, and if necema
to force an entrance, and having made his entry, to seal
for documents and books likely to discover the object: of th
society. It had been suggested that some more immediate
remedy should have been given against the persons found ;
hut on consideration that would be found to be unnecessary,
because the societies were unlawful under the former bills,
and all that was accessary was to obtain the means of making
out • cue. All the authorities rewired was means of pre-
venting these societies being carried en in private. The
officer acting on the magistrate's warrant would
remain as long in the meeting as he thought
necessary. If the proceedings were reasonable he would
not offer any opposition ; hut he would nave power to
ermine all books and pap is, in order to ascertain the it
oblect. It he found that the society was legal, of course he
would not disturb it—if illegal. he would at once put the law
in force. This might be called an invasion of the rights and
privileges of British subjects ; but it was an invasion which
was not carried further than was absolutely necessary, and
he believed it would oe found that nothing Awn of the
powers 'eked for would prevent in Ireland a repetition of
these societies and combinations. (Hear, hear.) Under
these circumstances he trusted that their lordships would
give their sanction to the bill.
Tbc Earl of GLEN LL would defer some observations
he hail to make on the principles of the bill until the nez(
stage. He had then an amendment to propose, the effect of
which wou:d be to put down the Repeal Association on
Burgh quay. (Hear, hear.) His opinion wail that so long
as they permitted the existence of that pestiferous assoeie-
Ceti there would be no peace in Ireland. (Hear, bear.: He
should merely further observe, that the 2 and 3 Vict. re-
quired that persons should be bound by i.legal oath to render
them reoponsible, and as the members of these clubs avoided
that difficulty he feared that the present act would be im-
perfect without some specific provision on the sul.jcot.
Lord CAMPBELL aid that the noble earl seemed to for-
get that there was such a thing as common low. Meetings
held for ter asonable purposes were always illegal, and pun-
ishable at common law, and the object of the present bill was
merely to oho in evidence for that purpose.
Lord RE D ESDAL E ol.iect' d to the temporary character
of tie bill. The 2 and 3 Victoria was in elm for five years,
and he thought that the same term should be inserted to the
present bill.
The bill was then read a second time, and the committee
filed fur Monday next.

Lord CAMPBELL moved that the reasons given by the

incorporated far the plantation of Ulster, and who Were
possessed of sonddereble property in Londonderry and
Coleraine. Their estates, which they held for pub-
lic purposes, were immediately struck at by this bin,
and they were to be comprehended in this drag net
of a measure, which was intended to convert the property of
the proprietor in lee into nothing more than a fee farm rent,
and to confer on the middle mail the freehold, of which the
present proprietors were to be divested. The hon. and
learned gentleman, after detailing the history of the foun-
dation and incorporation of the Irish Society of the City of
London, proceeded to observe that the first few lines of the I
hill contained all the information which the Home of Cora
mop s had yet received as to the objects and supposed utility
of this bill. The preamble towed that, " whereas many
estates in Ireland are held under leases for terms with cove-
nants for perpetual renewal, much inconvenience and bilge•
tion has arisen from such tenure, it is deairable to convert
the tenure to tenures is fee." Now, those who framed
this bill must be aware that by a clause contained
in the leas. s granted by the Irish Society it was pro-
vided that in cue any disputes between the society and
their tenants should arise the matter in dispute should
be referred to arbitration, and that in consequence
nothing approaching to litigation had arisen with the society.
He should not have adverted to this but that he found the
Irish Society had informed the house that one of the pro-
moters of the bill was a gentleman a =critter of the house
who held an estate under the Irish Society, whose estate has
been forfeited by a breach of covenant, and yet he sought by
this bill to create a freehold in place of the ferfeiture. ("No,
no," from Sir R. Ferguson.) He did not know whether the
hon. baronet meant to say that he had not received notice of
forfeiture, or that he was not one of the promoters of the
bill, and whether the effect of the me enure would not be to
confer on him a freehold, when the Irish Society held a for-
feiture had been in, urred.
S-r It. FERGUSON was understood to deny that euch
would he the operation ot the bill.
Mr. LAW said that might he the hon. baronet's construc-
tion of the bill, but he (Mr. Law) was prepared to show that
such would be the effect of the operation of the measure. He
objected that thou who held these estates should sit these in
judgment upon their own interests. But now the name acci-
dent occurred to the Chief Rememhraacer of the Court of
Exchequer in Ireland, who also held an estate under the
Irish society—who also had incurr.d a. forfeiture, and yet
under this bill was appointed the referee to adjudi-
cate upon petitions presented by the lessees against
the proprietors of the estates, the tenure of which
it was sought by this bill to change. The bill
was nothing more nor lees than the confiscation of
every fret hold proprietor in Ireland. The objections which
he urged against the hill might be answered or explained in
mail eases; but, with regard to the Irish society, to inter
fere in order to change the tenure in favour of the middle-
man, was nothing but spoliation. The power girt n to the I
Chief Remembrancer by the third section was very large, and
the wording of the clauses generally would not carry out
the principle which the bill had in view. The lease@ of the
Irish Society stood its a dill. rent position from the leases of
other prof rietors, and to divest them of the tenure which
they at present hail, would destroy their character as a
public body, and disable them from pertaining their con•
tracts with the crown. He had not heard any valid reasons
alleged to justify the house in interfering with the estates of
the Irish society, which had been granted by the crown for
purely pullic purposes, which purposes. they had fulfilled.
They w. re the best landlords in the district, and they ap-
plied all the rents to public purposes. Under those circum- '
stances he hoped the house would not consent to a bill sub-
versive of the rights of property submitted to them at a period
of the session when there was scarcely a sudicient attendance
of members. He hoped the noble lord would give him the
assurance that the Irish Scciety would be exempted from the
operation of the bill ; or, if he did not do that, that he wool-.
postpone it till next *union, when all the parties interested
would have time to give it more consideration than they
could now.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE defended himself from the
charge brought against him as to the mode in which he in•
frodeced the bill. He hal not heard up to the present nio
went that there was any objection to the principle of the bill.
So long since as 11435 her. Lynch, a master in Chancery in this
country, recommended such a measure as this, and he believed
it met with the approval of the most eminent judges in
Ireland. Lied liceiesdisle, a high legal authority, approved
of the principle of the measure, the real object of which was
to give increased security to property is Ireland. Its ols•
jsct was not is leave the tenure of property dependant en
the r newal of a lewe. Sir Michael o•Loghlen condemned
the present system of granting renewable leases, which led
to great uncertainty with regard to the tenure, and was pro-
ductive of unnecessary expense. The report of the Devon
Commission also matte a special recommendation for the
abrogation of that system, which was the tenure existing in
one-seventh part of Ireland. Persons who held property in
Ireland where the custom of granting renewable leases pre-
vailed would not lose toy portion of their power to ( nfo:ce the
conditions in their leases. (Hear, hear.) He would not say
a word in disparagement of the Irish society. but he could
not help thinking it strange that a Society existing in Leaden
should be the . nly persons objecting to a measure which was
to apply to every proprietor in Ireland, and which was sup-
ported by the Irish members generally. Sitee he introduced
the bill he had not received a single letter from Ireland com-
plaining of it. That being the use, he thought the hen.
and learned gentleman ought to leave the people of Ireland
to he the judges of their own interests. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. LAW said that the lease's only were in favour of it.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that he had not heard of a
single levier objecting to it, except the body represented by
the hon. and learned gentleman. If any of the details were
objectionable, he would be ready to consider them in com-
mittee ; hut he hoped the house would not consent to the
motion of the hon. and hutted gentleman.
Mr. 0. A. HAMILTON regretted that his bon. and
learned friend spoke as he did of the hon. member for Lon-
donderry and the Chief Remembrance rof Ireland. (Hear.)
He denied that his hon. and learned friend we. justified in
saying that the Irish members were only attending to their
own in:trete in supporting the bell. lie believed that Mr.
Lynch, who had been mentioned before, very correctly de-
scribed the nature of this tenure when he said that it was a
lease for 21 years, with an equity suit at the end of it
(Laughter.) No bill introduced (haul the present session,
relating to Ireland, was received with so much favour by
the people of that country.
Sir R. FERGUSON el• flied thet the trusts of the Irish
Society were interfered w•th by this bill. They would have
the same power that they ever had to enforce their rights.
Mr. CALLAGHAN said that the bill was gent tally ap-
proved of in Ireland, and wou'd, he believed, be productive
of great benefit.
Sir H. W. BARRON said he was a lessor of property of
this description, and he was in favour of the present bill.
Tee opinion of the people of Ireland was generally in favour
of the bi.l.
Mr. GROGAN Reproved of the bill, though a lessor. He
thought that if the rights of the Imo, were to ler operated
upon, the rights of the lessees should lee also operated upon.
(Hear, hear.)
fur. LAW said be would withdraw the motion, and would
content himself with prewing the clause, of which he bad
given notice in committee.
Mr. T. M'CULLAGIt defended Mr. Lyle, the chief re-
membrarcer of Ireland, who hal leen SO pointedly alluded
te in the present debate. The only interest which Mr. Lyle
had ns a lessor was 381. a year, and it was not likely that an
interest of that nature would have any influence upon him in
his judicial capacity.
Mr. LAW disclaimed any intention of speakine
diarespecifully of Mr. Lyle. He merely said that the bill
scull place him in an awkward position.
Mr. WOOD regretted that the hon. and learned gentle-
man, the Recorder, mixed up the case of the Irish Society
with other considerations. lie thought the ease of the Irish
Society a very strong one, and he was >Reposed to nipped
their exemption from the operation of the hilL
The bill was then committed pro fornel.
TITHE RENT CHARGE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order toe the committal of this bill,
Mr. HAMILTON expressed a wish to go on, but
Mr. MONSELL said he wished the hon. member would
agree to a suggestion he had made to pus the fith clause, but
powpone the rest of the measure until the next seleion.
Sir G. GREY should have no objection to that, but really
thought the rest of the measure too important to proceed
with this •eesion.
Mr. E. B. ROCHE said this hill opened the whole qua-
Lion ot the laish church. Why give the Irish church add l.
tionsl facilities to collect tithes ? The church property was
absolutely the only property that was worth anything at pre-
Rent in Ireland. The church got tithes when the landlords,
got no rents. 1 f ,here were po it protestant clergy, were there
no poor catholic clergy, and were there no rich protestant
bishops ? He strongly urged that the measure should be
postponed.
Mr. HAMILTON uid he would take till a later period of
the day to consider what he should do.
The SrEcnna then left the chair.
The SPEAKER resumed the chair at 6 e'clock.
JAMAICA AND TRINIDAD.

Mr. HAWES stated, in answer to a question from Lord
G. BENTINCK, that Earl Grey had not yet informed him
whether he would lay the despatches lately received from
Sir C. Grey and Lord Harris on the table. He would in-
form the noble lord to-morrow of the noble earl's intention.
CONFERENCE WITH THE LORDS.

Lord hi6RPETH appeared at the bar, and stated that the
Lords desired a present conference with the House of Com-
mons, relative to their amendments in the Health of Towns
Bill. A sufficient number of members having been appointed
to conduct the conference on the part of the Commons, Lord
Morpeth proceeded with them to the Upper House, and
after the lapse of a few minutes returned, and stated that
they had lett the bill with the amendment in the hae da of
the Lords, having stated the reasons of the hon. honee for
disagreeing with their lordships on the bill.

Sir 11. HALk ORD again called the attention of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to the subject of the nomination of a
letter-carrier het• een Leicester and Market Harborough.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
letter-carrier in question had been appointed by the post-
master general on the recommendation of a railway auditor,
and his qualifications for the office as well as his good char-
acter fully warranted the appointment.
Sir H. HALk'ORD asked bow this explanation could be

tary, who informed him in a letter that the nomination of
the letter-carrier had been made at the instance of Mr.
