The Earl of R(/SEBEIIIIY moved that a message should be
sent to the Commons, asking for certain returns, the nature of
which we could not hear.
STATE (IF IRELANI).
The Earl of II.IIINIdEY, in rising to postpone the motion of
whkh he bad given notice for that night, said that he owed some
eprilon to their Lordships for the delay lie was about to propose.
The case was :Mare that it was his intention to bring forward
the great and extensive subject of which lie had given notice so
that night, but he was induced to defer it, because lie wished for
the assistimee of many Noble Lords concerted with Ireland: and
in the hope that those Noble Lords might attend on a future day,
lie was induced to defer his niotion. lie was also induced to post-
pone it on another gmutal, in order to attain Nome useful inthrnia-
don before the day he should fix for calling their lordship's atten-
tion to the State of Ireland. lle should move for more paper. OD
the subject, but lie should take that opportunity of makitig a few
observations before he wit down. Ily what had passed elsewhere,
it sculled that it was in the contemplation of Government to take
offithe bounties on the linens of Ireland; on those of a tine fabric
they were to he taken offgrailually, and on those of a coarse fabric
they were to he taken for immediate y. Want of employment was
the great source of the evils that afflicted Ireland; and it was cx-
traunlinary that it did not occult to Ministers that in taking oil' the
bounty on linens they would add to the evil. ljut if the bounty
was to be taken wby were fine Linens ts be favoured more than
envie onto i• !le know DM what part of Ireland waddle bene-
fited by it, or what cireunniumees could have induced Ministers to
give up the Transit Duty ; but he Would put it seriously—if the
infant manufacture struggling in the North of Ireland should not
be considered ; and if it was politic to remove the great source of
employment of the people there. Ile would now say something of
what had been called by one of his Majesty's ltlitosters "a God-
mend." Ile remembered the Austrian halo, when it was made, and
saw the (lancellor off tlic Exchequer of that day (who WAS no leas a
man than lit. Pitt) upon it, and lie then prognosticated that it
would never be paid. The country, however, had rirelved a part,
and he thought sonic portion of it ought to be appropriated to the
starving population of Ireland. Ile could not help feeling part:cu-
larly for the starving population of the South of Ireland. The dis-
grace of not attending Divine Service belonged to the rich ; the
Ihurches were in mins in many parts, so that a portion of this
"Nod-acted" nii‘lit have been applied towards repairit:g :lurchesin Ireland. In a country where nature presented such fat Hines,
and the population were in want of work, it was surprising that it
did no; occur to tiovemnient to give wane part of it to (rebind. With
• view to the particular object of the eniffloyntent of the poor,
he would move their Lordships, that an account of all sums paid
by Parliament for the employment of the poor in Ireland for the
last seven years should be laid hekire the Goose; and also an
account of all sums, whether by gift or loan, that have been paid
for the same ',unitise. Ile felt great difficulty in bringing the
state of the Church establishment of Ireland before the House;
but be should not do justice to the question that lie proposed to
bring under their Lordships' vier without he went into that
branch of it which was so materially connected with the state of
Ireland. Ile xould therefore more for a return of all parish
Churches in Ireland, stating the parishes in which they were
situated. Ile mould bring the whole state of Ireland before their
Lordships, without disguise, and endeavour to rescue her from the
unfortticate situation in whisk she at present stood. lie held in his
hand an account of the operation of the Tithe Bill, which was not
quite iatisfactory. Ile wished some additions to be made to it, in
order further to elucidate the subject. lie would conclude by
moving that their Lordships be summoned for Monday, sdi Arid.
to consider of the state of Ireland.

The Earl of IrIVEIiPiN fir felt no inclination to say much off
the present occasion. as he had no objection to the ITIMI4NI of the
Noble Earl. In answer to the observatitm of the Noble Earl, with
regard to no part of the " tiod-secti," as he termed it, being ap-
propriated to Ireland, he would to tiark. that it went to the relief
of the Consolidated Fund, a part of which had been appropriated
to the erection of new churches, and the Chancellor of the Evelii.
quer had received a grant out of it for the repair. of Windsor
Castle ; so that this repayment by Austria, although apportioned
to the erection of churches and the repair of palaces, was tr. fact
assisting the finances of the country, by relieving the Consolidated
Fund from obligations to which it was pledged. But it should
seem, from the statement of the Noble F.arl, that no sums had
ever been granted to Ireland for carrying an public works. Tile,
fact was, that the only sums that had been granted fur the conduct-
ing of public wicks had been given to Ireland and Scotland. No
grant for that purpose had been made to England for the last
twenty or thirty years, except such at had been advanced for the
erection of new churches. Be could assure thk Noble Lord and
the !louse, that not less than a million had been expended fur Ire-
land since the 'Won, which showed that neither Government nor
Parliament was indisposed to make grants to Ireland. Ile had
only another ratint that be wished to advert to before he sat down.
With regard to Imitates on linen, nothing could be so absurd as
granting t bounty out of the pockets of the people for the purpose
of exporting manufactures. But when this absurd system existed,
it was a question whether it should be got rid of suddenly or not.
Hut the question was, whether that branch of industry received
any advancement from the bounty P It apptared to him as a mere
domestic
!watch of nianufarture, that could not be operatic! upon
advantageously by the bounty. When the subject came fully
before the House, he should have an opportunity of delivering his,
sentiments. and on that account should not trouble their Lordships
with any further vbeiervations at present.
Lord KING thought that the 11K/,0001. voted for Irish churches
a most enormous job.
Lord Darnley's motions were then agreed to.

Thy Earl of 11A Rllol%lll' said a few words, whirl were In-
audible below I:. e bar.

LICENCE DI'TIES.
Mr. DENM.tN presented a petition from the Innheidess end

Mr. ASA HURST objected to the reurti now cared fir being
produced, and observed, that if it should appear tiist a Magistrzae
had wilfully violated his duty, the law was open to those who fool
euxtaiued any injury theverrom.
Mr. DENMAN was surprised to bear it urged, that, If phi
motion had only eitended to police magistrate, it would not lir/

could lie no doubt but that magistrates would away: he defended

what Intl teen said about the trouble and expense of (unit& .-r

seriously wish that pubhAty shout! net be e'en to *elf pro.:

of any corruption in the execution of theiroffice, the ('sort alit:ie.

iillr It. IiCHON expressed his surprise-that so much of the 81,-.
sion should hare been allowed to pass without some menilax of
weight and respectability in that House haring odors token up tate
soloect.
The A TTOR N CV-fi ENEILII. said, that if it had been Imo-
gested that In the administiation of the criminal law of the erremy
there had been any undue bias or partiality, such a charge, he he •I
no hesitation in saying, might to be sifted to do very bran. l'..e
lion. fileintier(3lr. flume' had stated, thit from a paper which b:
hell in his hand there appeared a great disproportion its the convit -
tion of the committal', tit hoodoo and Coumy Magistrates. Nov
Ire thought it incumbent on the !louse, before it enterteinal this
motion, to ascertain the fart, which might be done ',Chem gall' r•;*
fur the names of Magistrates ; and if the suggestions of the llo• •
Member were found to be correct, then it would be time !o think.'
further measures ; in the mean while he may so modify his mourn
as to met; the objections of those who were at present oppoinil
to it.
Mr. I'EEI. put it to the candour of the lion. `(ember Pe Aber-
