into such a subject as that before them ; amt

pletely unnecessary. A• to the pamphlet said to have

if the tithes were abolished in Ireland, why not a bo-

great similarity between the sentiments of the nom
Cefirlemittin opposite, and those contained in the

those two authors, o as a moo who was certain of be-
ing hanged fur his conduct, and who aggravated
his conic by disclosing upon Isis accomplices—he
meant Arthur O'Connor. But the assertion, that the
itholics slowed the burden of the tithes, was Ole-
c:otts,s- that body of people, unnterunr Ms they mffight
be, were totally exempt front any such burden.
Mr. Musirsuut MATTHEW ,aid, he thought that

to have hero exeinpted. As to the tithes, what
had been stated by the Gentleman alluded to,
wee perfectly correct. He could call the attention
of the Ctiaucellor of the Exchrqio-r to a promise
which had been made to him, with respect to
a petition from 'I ipperary, which he (Nlr.

sufficiently ditsitisficd at the manner in which the
money was at present issued from thence, soil if an

Mr. HVTCIIIMI.OII said, if this country meant to
• bold any faith with Ireland, an inquiry should be
immediately instituted. England was pledged by
the Act of Uniou to do all in her power to amelio-
rate the situation of the people of Ireland.
Mr. WI Lammas:a adverted to the mis-
chievous operation of the tithe* ; it was of high
cmsequelier to the people of both countries, that
this Committee should be appointed for the pur-
pose of imitury—a purpose of praetieal wisdom.—
If Ireland enjoyed a state of unmixed happi-
ness, the ease would be very different; but
whets that country was evidently suffering under
pain end poverty, the prtertit was a noble Op-

Mr. Letitia FOSTER hoped that the subject of
the drainage of bogs ill Ireland would come under
the eonsideration of the llonse at as early day be-
fore the recess. His reason for being thus urgent
was, that there was no money left.
Mr. Pousomay, as one of the Commissioners,
begged lease to state, that there was II thing called
a Report upon the subject, which gave tin act:omit
