Mr. Graly ist the same portliest wife', it
was slot likely that any political soisonderstantling
wniii,l occur hetween thew. He stated, th.it the

following flay In received • letter from Mr. QOlll
nn the rubjeCt. which had been produced to the

Hattie. -
The nest witness was Mr. Richard Smith, the
pre.iesit Clerk of the Peace for the county of Li-
merick. He stater, that he was tritely to give up

lbr rum Or
4001. s year. Use witness certainly
'lid not appear to have a very perfect recollection.
0 ',necking of the number of voter', he confounded

the ltsing anti the dead.
Ile ohnuld not tre►yasa much longer on the at-
tention of the !louse. They had a solemn duty to
peiloim—a duty to the country and to themaelver.
It nn•uld he fur them to decide on the evidence.

Ile (Sir Robert) thought that the Hon. Member
Berea in a manner iticon.ittent with hie high

office, i list he violisied the freedom of election, oid
was guilty of • breach of the privileges of the
House. He did not menu to indulge in any

language—he wished to discharge his duty without
any unworthy prejudice towards one, or any on.
worthy favour toward* the other party. In
that spirit, no doubt, the House would proceed—
every man who heard hint would see the importance
of the subject, and would feel that he was called
opon to diveliarge with fidelity and with honour an
important dilly to his country and to himself. The
Hon. Member concluded by proposing a series of
It's 'lotions:—

The Ist, stated the time that Mr. Quin was appointed

Custom Ibisknows.
The tot, Tbat be appointed Mr. Richard Smith as Cleric
of the Peace in the room of the Petitiorrer, nod that Mr.
Qum stipulated to give out of the profits of limonite a sum

•
of 200 n f. .year to the Pennloser.
The 3d, That in a conversation at 86Dorgan. near Dub-
lin, be undertook to insure the Petitioner * sum of 2001. a
year, on the terms of the Petitioner siring bins his political
support; that the substance of what ucrurred at that Meet-
ing was reduced to *right'. aud, teat rAlly, that he had act.
ed in the mailer in violation of the freedoms of election, and
bad been sadly of a breach of the privileges of that House.
Mr. BOOM% WILBRAHAM, lifter expressing his
approbation of the tit:miler in which the Hun. Geis-
aeons', (Sir Robert had brought the sub-
ject under the consideration of the House, ileelar-
ed, however, that he could not agree with the Reso-
Intim,* proposed by him, nor with the view he look
of the subject. He did not, however, feel it neces-
sary to go at any length into the subject. It was,
he believed, eu opinion generally received, that the
Moo. Member (41r. Quin) was the victim of a foul
conspiracy. and that opinion gained strength from
the very laliguao of the elder Grady. In one of
his leittla to Mr. Carew Smyth, there was a re-
markable passage, whit h he would read to the
House. It was tins.—
_ . .

" Your perseverance was manly, kind, and disintemted,
sad I MO perfectly satisked with the result of your admi-
nistrarion. know not what purl of it most to admire—the
coolness sod ingenuity wish which you led Quin on, at his
ioterview with you in Dubliu, from coquetry to a full
declination of 114 passion for bribery and corruption;
the simplicity wills which you coudneed him to ■
written testintotual of that declaration; or the tact
with whirls you handed him my letter, at your
farewell interview with hint at Adore; it was a kind of
. .

P. P. C. compliment, which you made ium at the very nick
of time; use moment gooneetwould havt been too early,
one moment later Iwould have been too late—but you grip-
ed the moment whew be was glorifying himself upon his
triumph, to satisfy bin that the battle was only io its in-
fancy."
W hen lie read this, lie did not mean to reflect on

the honour and character of Mr. Smyth. He was
not, he (Mr. W.) was sure, a party to ally con-
spiracy ; he gave his testimony at their bar in a fair
and manly manner, and with an honest zeal.
When he said so much for Mr. Smyth, he might
be allowed to claim a little for Mr. Goold ; he was
thirteen years one of his Majesty's Counsel, and at
the head of the Munster Circuit, and it was
too hard that becAise be forgot one fact, that
his character should be tainted und his pro-

•
'peva blasted for ever, and that fart too not of
very material kind. In the present case he thought
at least there were great doubts, and he only asked
for Mt. Quits that indulgence which a maii so cir-
cumstanced would receive at the hands of any other
tribunal. Do not, said he, put him in a worse
situation than he would be soy where else, in a case
where the consequences of your condeinnation
would be fatal to his character, nod would
sink biro below Isis level in society. It war, he
said, the opinion of many Gentlemen flirt the
imputed fact, even if fully proved, did net amount
to a breach of privilege. The disposal of the office
of Clams did not, it was supposed, come within the
meaning of the law on the subject. Whether that
war so or not, it was clear, ut all events, that
Mr. Quin did not commit the act. The most that
could be imputed was intention, and 'Melanin was
different from the commission of the art. He had, he sold,
a Resoled.* which, is his opinion, would meet the case
fairly ; it did not go to acquit, roe uotirely to condemn the
conduct of the Hum. Member (Mr.thoio). He concluded by
appealing to the generustity of the House, nod hoped that its
• can like the present, they would sot visit the Hon. Mem-
ber with tkeir severest menu,. sod by moving an amended
Resolution to the following effect :
" That it did appear to the Hasse that Mr. W. W. Quin
on the oth of July, 18111, did offer as %enmity of 400/.
• year to T. W. Grady without any expectation of future
political support. That on the 2lst September, at ass Mier-
view sought by Mr. Carr. Smyth, Mr. W. W. Quin did in-
directly attach a political modistes to the gram of this an-
nuity to T. W. Grady—bat that on the 10th Odder. he
did expressly disclaims this coodition, and declare that if
T. W. Grady did withdraw his Nippon from hies (Mr. Qsiu)
at the next election, he would not, on Hood account, de-
prive him of his aismity."
There were other Resolations admitting the impropriety
of the condition under any eiressistasees assd that if car-
riedinto executioss it would be a high breach of privilege,
but that this breach hid sot, !order the tircamotaaces„ heel
committed.
The Symms* suggested, that as limiest Restolutios of the
Hon. Member was proposed to he pat after Ike third Rem-
lutiou proposed by air Rollers Wilma, the precediug Rem-
Inflame should be previosely disposed of.
The Mos. Fosnaston Milieus said, that however 'Mus-
cat it might be, he, as a Neither of that House, mold not
shrink from the performers* of • public slid mend duty—he
would support the Reoulotioss proposed fay she galiMat Offi-
cer. The fitted* of the Ham. Member (Mr. Q.) appeared, he
said, to rest his detests, not am the denial of the tact, bet on

Mr. Peel.. after complimenting Sir Itobest
Wilson for the manner in which he brought this
subject forward, said, he woe confident that the
House. recolle.:tiog they had, in the pretreet
case, not deliherattee, but judicial functons
to discharge, would readily make any sacrifice
of tune and attentiou necessary to come to a
right declaim' on it. Perhaps, lief ire goi g joi-
n, the examination of the principal question,
he should answer the reference made to him
by the Hon. Baronet opposite, respecting the cons
tents of the letters which hail not been produced
by Mr. Grady, senior. and which. to some minds,
might have left a gap in the evidence. It had as.
turally. occurred filet some letters must have pass-
ed from Mr. C. Smyth to Mr. Grady, urn, to draw
out the compliment syhielt had been paid by the
latter to the fortiori fur his adroit insuagement.
All the letters which were welding load been pro-
duced—they amounted to four, dated the 3il,
loth, 13th, end 14th October. They had been
submitted to himself, mid he thought it due to
Mr. C. Smyth to state, that nothing whatever ap-
peared therein to warrant the expressions used by
Mr. Grady, sett. ; but then, on the other hand, there
wee nothing to skew tlpst he had rejected the com-
pliment. As it seemed to be taken for granted
that all the charges contained its the Petitiou had
been established, it was necessary to call the alien-
tiott of the House to each of them distiiictly—that
was particularly necessary on account of the speech
of the lion. Gentleman who had spoken last, and
who ermined to look upon the tone of the [leis,
Member** defence as an odusission of every timig
alleged agaiust him. The Petition began by
stating " that the said Wyedhain Quin perceiving
at the last general election that his popularity had
considerably decreased, found it necessary to avail
himself. for election purposes, of the patronage he so
obtained from Government, and broke up the said
office of Clerk (Attie Peace into lots, its order to
distribute the several lots among such persons, coin-
inasidieg an influence to the county, as he knew, or
presumed would undertake. an cousideration theieof,
to pupped him ost any future contest. appoititing
them only during pleasure. jib order to maintain his
control over them for these purposes." Now he
should say, not only that that allegation bid not
been proved, but that it had hero effectually dis-
proved. Ile shoold also assert that the next charge
bad been disproved, viz. " that the said W. W. Quits
finding his billion tttt nit candidate now more piece.
rious thou it had been, thought it expedient, if
possible, to secure the future support of your Pe-
titioner sod his tenantry, by a deed of bargain said
tale." 'flue third and the must material charge
had been most completely refuted, and that on the
admission of his lion. Friend who had spoken last.
Mr. Quin had given a distinct disclaimer to his for-
beariog to require the petitioner's political sop-
port, from the apprehension of a parliamentary is-
vestigation. But what was the etatenneut of the
Petition ? " That Daniel Gabbett, of the City of
Limerick, Esq. law agent to the said W. W. Quin,
being apprised of such your Petioner's issieneoes,
itionglit it his ditty to expostulate with the said
W. W. Quits upon the stature of the proposal lie
had to make to your Petitioner, and cautiotiing
him of the danger he thereby incurred, recom-
mended to bins to endeavour to rescue himself
from the consequences, by offering to your Peti-
tioner the said aOO/. a year,
_independent of any
pledge for election service : That the said We We
Quits being apparently alarmed at the aforesaid
suggestions, wrote the following note to the said
D. Gabbett, ii; order to its being *hewn by him to
your Petitioner. viz.—
' hie Grady may vote as he pleases ; if be chooses to
vote ageism me, 1 will not on that account deprive him of
his siteatielle ' W. W. QUIN. '
Now be should contend, that that statement hail
been wholly negatived lay the evidence, and allowed
on the oppooite side to bare been so. lie should
now lay down three propositions, which he thought
lie should succeed in proving, not on the evidence
of Mr. Gould, or any witness on the part of Mr.
Quin, but by the evidence ass the pert of the Pe..
titioner :—lst. That Mr. Quits had not made the offer
of the 2001. a-year in consideration of future political
support; gel, That up to the 21st September, the
time of the interview between Mr. C. Smyth and Mr.
Quin, at Stiflorgati, no mention had been made of
political support; 3d, That Mr. Quin hod, from
the ouggestioiss of own mind. and not from any ap-
ptehension of Parliamentary inquiry, voluntarily
renounced the eueiditiun of such support.—As to
the first, he conteseded that the original motive on
Mr. Quin's miud in inakis g the offer. was, that lie
might be relieved from the neceesny of dismissing
s person who had voted fur him at the toht elec-
tion, end who (he should allow) had some ground
to expect that he should tie continued id the of.
flee. That such determidation bad been produced
from a consider** of, the young mass's situation;
he thought could fairly be Mimed from the re-
presentation made of it by himself. llii a letter to
dlr. Quin, he said—

The Hon. Member proceeded to argue that Mr.

ber : and gooiest the evidence of fir. Metetisell, whit,
deposed that he bed not hoard of a parliamentary

thought, therefore, he had established that illy.
Quin was entitled to all the grace of repetitette,
said to whatever mitigation of punishment that cir-
cunistatice should operate to produce. Ile those
referred to the minute, and thought the mode iii
which it came into existence divested it or that cha-
racter of guilt which it would bear, had it beets a
formal written proposal coming from Mr. quill ;soot .
that the swestiments expressed by Mr. Quist. at Sill/
'organ, were precisely the same es those entertained
by every person who disposes of patronage, us by ss
landlord giving a lease at will. He ittgiled that
the eonditional offer could not fairly he mid to have
originated with Mr. Quin, inasmuch as the first mep-
hitis of political support was made daring the in-
terview at Stillorgan, to Whieh Mr. Quip had relisc.-
sully consented, at Ilse presssing solicitations of Ma.
C. Smyth, and to which, if he had r
tie_ cousetitud„
the minute which constituted the foundation of the
charge could never have existed. The most pain.

occasion was to balance the opposite testimony of

Mr. Goold b,d enjoyed the intimaey of the most valued and

however, Out what he said, would not Ise so much mistin- •
deratontl, a. In be construed into a desire of thruwenz the
slightest tallow:it:sin on Mr. C. Smyth. He had heard that ll.e
manner of giving his testimony had produced a most favour-
able itupre.tuun on the House ; be kuew that his faintly RIO
coourxsons ware must respectable, and that on his chat meter
the shads., of a charge had never been attempted to be affixed.

tion of the limier to four points of difference be..
tweet) the le-Om/my given by Mr. Goold, and that
given by Mr. C. Smyth, from winch, in his mind,
sufficient might be deduced to prove the correct-
ness of the farmer. Of these points the first was,
it W 34 positively asserted by Mr. C. Smyth, that
the refusal to stem the paper was made by Mr.
Goold and not by Mr. Quits. The second was,
the in the conversetinn of the 2241 of September,
the refusal made by Mr. Quin referred merely to
the signature of 11w minute, and not to the troth
of the statemetot contained in it. The third was,
that Mr. Gould declared he was always ready to
attest the facts continued in the minute. And the
fourth, on which he thought the question might
fairly be rested, was. that Mr. Quin, at a converse-
tion on the fits' of September, sit which Mr. Guold
was prevent, proposed the conditional grant of this
annuity. A• to the first it appeared by the evidence
of Alr. C. Sonya'. that before Mr. Quin had time
to a:sswer Mr. Ssnyth's request to sign the minute,
Alr. Goal interfered and p . -vented Mr. Ruin i
from riguiing it. The first observation he would
make on that was, Mr. Smyth's evidence was ton-
it/dieted by the minute itself. for the iloue would

the words 66 Mr. Quin." In a subsequent Hirt of
Isis evidence Mr. C. Smyth attempted to correct
this, and stated, that the word he alluded to Mr.
Gould. In Mr. Smyth's; letter, however, he himself
litaird that Mr. Qum had refused to sign it ; and
gave as a refines tor Mr. Quito's hesitation by these
OVOISP—" he declined signing it on account, I
believe, of the alarm you created in his mind about
breaking up the office." This then was the first
materi .1 point of difference between Messrs. Gould
nod Smyth. and though Mr. Smyth undertook to
correct the error of the note to the minute, yet his
own letter refuted lite correction, and proved that
it was 11r. Quasi who refused to sign it. He (Mr.
Plunkett) did not mean to represent this as • wilful
mi.iiatement on the part of Mr. Smith, for soh*.
booms'. mid -ity he had the highest esteem, but
me, eh. to shear that Mr. Stnytlsia recollection was

allegation of QUill'a or Mr. Gould's aerosol to sign the

Mr. WYSS, said, there was no man on whose joilgenent
he would scanner rely than on that of the Right Hon. and
Leerned Gentleman who spoke last, but after the most sessi-

conclusion. He. admitted that this propireition might have
conic originally from Mr. Grady or his friends, hut the agree-
ment seemed, if confidence could be placed in the evidence
of Mr. C. Smyth, to have been completed, and that 21101.
a year was to he given on condition of Mr. Grady's Parlia-
mentary support. This was an of of bribery situ cof-
risption which was punishable, not only at common law, but
also by the statute of Geo. 11. He then entered into
an examination of the conflicting 'Wow of the evidence
of Mr. Gimlet and Mr. Caterer Smyth, and remarked, that
Mr. Gook' appeared to be quite absent, and took no
particular notice of the conversation that was carried on be-
fore him. Ills mind appeared to be employed exclusively
in considering of the result of the application which Me.

breach of privilege.—( Bear, hen) ;—lle alluded to the

be satisfied with oreeely !Haying the Crown to remove him

Mr. Jon* SNITII said he was sorry to hear, in the course
of the debate, certain imputations attempted to be thrown
out against Mr C. Smyth, to whose high character, fur ho.
nous and integrity, he bore a ready and soierie testimony.
With respect to Mr. Goole', he remarked, that although in
sumac parts Isis memory ..armed to fail him, yet, in other
respects, he was vuay will enabled to recite vet y long and
minute couversations, which skewed that whenever it solo il
the wishes or couvenienee of that gentleman, his memory
could be as throng as any one'r. Fie remarked, that if Mr.

as had fallen from Mr. Gould, hi would have been committed

the debate ought to be adjourned to see if the report was

which it would be unjust to attempt to sketch, soul which the

he sever meant to commit. lie had, however, thought pro-
per to make a denial of the charge, and to retort a foul CON.
'piracy upon his accusers, including that niost respectable
witness, Mr. Carew Smyth. With respect to Mr. Goolral, all
he should say was, that he could reconcile the lapse in his evi-
dente with atoll idea of his honesty. After the testimony home
to his honour by the Member fur the University of
and by that great and venerable 'obesity near him (Mr.
Grattan), and also the opinion which they had heard the late
lamented Mr. Ponsunby entertained of him, it was impossi-
ble not to consider the honour of such a character in a fa-
vourable light. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then at
considerable length, and with great force, replied to the Sr.

trasted in detailgthe chain of evidetive in support of the

was sustained against Mr. quiff

Smyth.

Sic Jona NEWPORT bore testimony to the characters of
Mr. Gould mad Mr. Carew Smyth, scuil was convinced the er-
ror into which the former had fallen arose from a lapse of
memory. He was at the same time bound to slate that he
felt the chaige proved against Mr. Qum. With respect to
the office of Clerk of the Peace, he would, when lids sits-
firm was disposed of, gise notice of a motion for placing
that office ou the same footing its Ireland as in England

deficiency on the Consolidated Fund. If this be
the case, the whole measure is founded in a pre-
meditated delusion.

In the Ilouse of Commons last night the case of

to adopt a new system. Instead of sending out
her forces in detail, the smallness of which exposed

danger will not be diminished by increasing the
