qu.r Bill% Bill.

IRISH TITHES.
' Mr. GooLiman moved the Order of the My
for the third reading of the Tithes Leasing Bill.
Col. Fleenor said he wished in that stage of the
Bill, to make a few observations. Souse surprise
had been expressed by • Right Hon. Baronet op.
polite, that he should give his support to a measure
which appeared to him a perfect nullity. The rea-
son he did so was that the Bill recognised the prin-
ciple of a commutation of tithes, and that a pros-
pect was held out of the practability of such a mea-
sure. He was anxious to take that opportunity of
correcting an error which had. gone abroad re-
specting a statement made by him on a former oc.
catioa. He was represented to have said that in the
county of Mayo the distress was at au end. He
never had said so, but he stated that in the course
of a few weeks considerable and extensive relief
would be afforded by the potato harvest coming in,
but that the interval was the most anxious and fear-
ful period of all. He was happy to find that the
Government and the resident gentry seemed per-
fectly aware of this circumstance, and that every
precaution was taking to avert the calamity. He
could not omit that opportunity of expressing his
admiration of the indefatigable exertions of the
Archbishop of Tuam, whose sympathies for the
distress of the unfortunate peasantry and efforts to
relieve them, were highly honourable to himself
and the station he held is that country. The Hon.
Gentleman then eulogised the conduct of the Ex..
male. Government, and stated that the liberality
evinced by the people of this country had made
such an impression upon the inhabitants of !reload
as was to be expected from an ardent, grateful, and
sensitive people.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir W. De CII2,PIONY hoped that the relief
afforded to Ireland would not be temporary. He
was averse to the system of poor's rates, but it'
nothing else would answer, he should wish to see
them introduced into Ireland.
Mr. COULBURN eulogised the conduct or tl.t.
Gentlemen who composed the Committe in Dal, •
lin. Whatever might have been the t'
the London Consmitee, and he was not dippo.,.l
undervalue them. they could not he more vAiu.an
than the services of the gentlemen in
runny of whom had extrusive business of then
to attend to, but who. had daily sacrificed rtisi,v
hours of their valuable time to apportion the 111thi, y
placed in their hands.
The Bill was tiara read the third time ei
passed.__ . .

Alt. Hums wi.hed to take that opportunity of
correcting a misrepre.entatiou which tind appeared
in one of the Irish papers, of what had fallen front
him on a former evening: He was represented to
hare objected to the appointment of Alt. Plunkett
to an office in Ireland, on accoout of his want of
professional
•Hain': uts. He never made use of
such rapt...salons—his apposition was to his you'll
and want of experience, and he should be extremely
sorry to give offence to that gentleman.
Mr. WsrugaeLL said, that breilag been Pre-
sent oo the occasion, be could corroborate the state..
meut of the Hou. Gentleman wbo bad just
.set
down. But he understood that not only were
Mr. Pluukett's rrefeuioual attainments consider-
