BOROUGH OF SLIGO.

Mr. Cnorm was very much surprised to :earn from the

setited to the House from a Mr. Flanagan, Walla was 1./Oki-WI
to be printed. Had he been present at the time, he should
have thought it his duty to have let tb- House into some-
thitig of the history of this Mr. Flahagan. As matters,
however, stood, and that he found the fluntoirable Mt nth,
who presented the petit' was of opinion, as he was, that
lie had been imposed upon, lie should 1111/1,111 hem•rll anti

the country. He had nothing to du with the municipal go-
vcrument of the town of Sligo, but he was well NC4ll,lltited
with some of its members, and particularly with the Protest
of that town, and was of opistieu a more honourable sod tip-
rte:: man did not exist. He should only add, that it Mr.
Flanagan slithld venture to make his •opearance in that
House again, lie should move fur the ropy of a record of his

Mr. LO3lO Wint.m.air eiridended that this Dill did nut

of. Within the last few 7,ear: the number of persons

creased from thri e or fr.ue to eighty us. the average.
The evil was, Ho erfore, gamily augmentiog, awl it would
appear there was an adequate remedy. In the old law, deer.

Mr. G. BAVIIIM strongly opposed the Hill. He objected

Mr Witcseneottcv. plimented his young Honourable

11 Ice preferred to have heard those Weals employed on any
other subject. Hi a 110 11111 l table Friend must have forgot-
ten the existing slate of society, fur lie ought to have known
that there was a very great body of the politic who must
have game at their tables—whose view of hospitality, and
compliment to guests, imposed this necessity -upon them.
This being the case, the question was how sods a demand
could be etipplied! Sn pplis it some way it must he, and the
feel questims was, whether it shout.' he, hid by the regida-
tions of a Hill like the present, or by the tacit encourage-
ment of what was admitted to be is go at crime.—( Hear,
her!r —WII.II IN. Franklin saw sugar at table, durtsig the
full sway of the horrible practice of the slave trade, he said
he almost shrunk Gum lasting it, on aceuont of the lima-able

now on a fashionable table' it was impossible to taste it
without feeling that as the law now *timid such • luxury
was °Waitron', to many iunances, by a disreearil of all moral
feeliesc—(ffeur, heor.)—lle was sure that in the present nil.
solaced state of moral and social feeling, the old Game Laws
could nut lie maintained; they mast give way to a more
tn.Hlifi.d system of legislation as affecting this practice.
Those laws Must, in fact, be put an end to, and the real
question was, in what manner ! He thought the present
Bill would have a tendency to ameliorate 11w evil, and there.
for, it should have his support. In voting fur it, be gin-
cerely and cordially thanked the Honourable Member (sir.
Brand) fur its introduction. The flutes-tits of the public, the
religion, and humanity of the people called fur
such a necessity.
Mr. ll6sßv BALI IL ES, in reply to the observations of his
Hon. Friend who spoke last, denied that the effect of this
Bill would be to remove the evil. The Roman law was
foundation of the general law of Europe, and it certainly
cotsferted no such privilege as the present Bill was intended
Is. Cl/11fre The effect of granting licenses fur the sale of
game, would be to legalise poachers—it would increase that
offence tel told—it would further tend to destroy game in
such a matters as to prevent eta reproduction fur those who
were really the cousunors. 'File effect would then be 11141
ire runt ‘ra. • there would be no game, but a legalized class
of poachers would present a formidable existence, whose
halals would at mice direct them to other acts of ewes-
. 1,11111 upon the property of the public. Ile thought a quali-
fication tif emir description (he dill not surge to say that re.
"sired by the roosting law was the best) sees a must wise
provision. The Bill, in his opinion, went ors a principle
totally wrong; and hw all the erasion be bad meutiumed, he
should oppose the maim,.
Sir Juits SIMIUGOIT explained.
Several Members then stood up to address the Chair at
once, considerable confusion prevailed fur some minutes,

Mr. NARRYAZT Then spoke en the questiuu, but we regret

to say was wholly inaudible in the gallery, from the noise in
the House.
A Member, whose name we could not !taro. said, that
whatever might he the result of the motion or the fate of
the Bill, the shanks of the country were sine to the Hon.
nentlerami (Mr. Braid) fir the independent Manner, and
the indefatigable seal with whirl. he had come forward to
expose a system pregnant with danger to the Constitution,
and with the Bettis of vice, the fenits of which crew op with
all the limuliauce of the se nrc•2 from whence they were
derived.
Another Member, of whose name we were ignorant, said,
the Bill was any thing but a Caine Bill, or if it was to he
so called, it wa■ to make game of the Constiiiition.—(.4

great caution 41141 jealousy.
A new Member said, the Bill seemed to he directed
against a system of law, whirls had nothing in it but oppres-
sion of the poor for the convenience or the iieh•-w. Haul—
which, for the benefit of the great landed proprietors, ex-
cluded all persons or moderate property fr a share in the

CoRPORATIONS IN IRELAND.

Mr. V. I:1.A E rose 1111 1/1/10.11.1i111. of hie notice,
to move for leave to bring in n 1;111 to explain and
omens! nos Act of the 33.1 (leo. 111. chap. 21.
I lis object wee to Once Room Catholics, who may
lie entitled to the firestone of Corporations in Ire-
land, on an equal footing with their Protestant
townsmen. By an Act of the Iris!' Parliament,
passed in the rear 1793, Catholics lovenone entitled
to hr admitted to placra iu Corporat ttttt s, but diffi-
culties intervened in the assernoss of their rights,
which it was the object of his Bill to remove. He
then moved for leave In bring iu a Bill to provide
fur the more easy smer • of the rights of freedom
in Corporations in Ireland.
Mr. MARTIN (of Galwa)) seconded the motion.

Sir G. HILL Compluiiirii that the Hon. Member
had given notice of a 'notion winch seemed to pro.
mist, one very difFerent from that which the House
had now heard. From the notice, which referred
✓eterelly •• to the manufacturing classes it, Ire-
land," he could never have expected a motion so
very important; and such, lie was couvioced, was
the feeling of the greater number of the Members
who had retired to their rest, not expecting
any business of general interest. Although he
might not go .•o far a,. the lion. Member, yet he
would willingly grout to the Roman Catholics
every assistatice in the assertion of their rights; but
hr could not countenative a motion like the present,
whirl. %sea to open all the Corporations in Ireland
to Homan Catholics, abrogate the by-laws, and
render it ir.,peraiive on the corporate body to admit
them to the tie glom of the Corporation.
Mr. MARTIN contended that the notice was
similar to what was usually given.
Mr. BLAKE said he had no it,tention whatever of
subverting the original Constitution of the country
—his only wish was to preserve il, and to secure to
Roman Catholic tradespeople the rights they were
already allowed to po►sess by the laws of Ireland.
Sir .1. STEWART remarked, that if the rights
now existed by 14w, the present Bill of the lion.
Member was wholly unnecessary. He complained
that the notice wes not sufficiently explicit, and
suggested the propriety of the Hon. Member's
withdrawing his motion.
Mr. BLARE repeated, that his object was merely
to ph:l.st. Boman Catholic tradespeople in corporate
in Ireland on an equality with the Proles..
tams. %Vitt, regard to the notice, it referred to
ihr Act of the 331t1 of the Kii4, chat). 21, which
was the Act that removed the disabilities from the
Roman Catholics, and rendered them eligible to
'dares in Corporations.
Alter sonic further remarks from Sir G. HILL
and Mr. J. SMYTHE, Mr. 81. A ISE consented to with-
draw his mount,.
Mr MANSFIELD moved for leave to bring in a Bill to pre-
vent hands in the manufacture of Stoeltings. This motion,
be ..h.trrved, was blooded on the Report of the Committee
ou Frame-work Knitting.

The motion was ■greed to, and the Bill was then brought
in, pail a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
on Thursday next.
The wilt) examined on the Eenryn Election were or-
dered In be discharged.
Mr MAKE gave notice, that on Monday next lie would
tower for leave to bring in a Hill to amend the Act of the
:ad of the King, to provide fur the more easy assertion of
thr rights of the Koolau Catholic Tradesmen in Cos porations.

of nwily of which have already been taken at kis expense,
becanse his work is to contain the histoly of civil architec-

there are such noble specimens in a .7..,eat meow churches,
from Spain to Riga, and from Italy to Sweden and England.

general consternation and ilispundency consequently prevail.
Under these circumstances', must of the Professors will be
