4.IIPRIMITS OF JUSTICE IN IRELAND.
Ilf,*lllllllA Rica, in making the motion of which
had given notice, relative to the Courts of Jos.-
Ireland, said, that if he was right in his re-
'collection, when the Report was brought in, which
stated, that in the opinion of the Committee the
letter of the Chief Baron was not satisfactory in
some points, sod that on others it was desirable that
furthet information should be furnished, a pledge
Was given by the Noble Marquis. that in the inter-
ims between the close of the last Session and the
opening of the prevent, steps would be taken by
Government to procure the information desired.
He did not knew Whether any steps had been
taken for that purpose, and one object he now
had in view was, to ascertain what further infor-
motion had been obtained. He hoped that tin-
der the new regulations of the Courts in Ire.
laPaisilie most 'intim:int measure of reform which
since the Union had hero applied to Ireland—
nonippointment to any office in those Courts would
he given to any individual who had been held up in
the Report as a delinqoent. The Chief anon in
his letter had referred to the conduct of the Court
of King's Bench, as justifying his own pro-
ceedings; but he (Mr. Rice) believed, that so
far from that being the case, it would he found
that the conduct of the Court of King's Bench
would by no means bear him out in his justification.
It was therefore important that if any communica-
tion had taken place on this subject between the
Court of King's Bench and the Government, it
should be made public. It was due to the charac-
ter of the venerable Judge who had been so many
yens at the bend of that Court, upon whom this
was the first time that any imputation hsd been cast.
He therefore moved for—
" Copies of all !esters between the Irish Goverment and
the Jokes of the Courts of law is !reload since Ow 11th
Mar, 1151. respecting Ilse proceediogs of the Coasosiosionere
of 'poky into the Courts of Justice is Ireland."
Mr. GOULBURK said, he had much pleasure in
. .

assuring the House that a Report, whtch he had
al►esdy laid upon the table of the House, and which
was in the course of printing, contained much that
bore upon this subject, and would afford much of
the information which it was the object of the liish
Government to obtain; sod he hoped ut no distant
period to be enabled to add to it whatever further
information the subject required. Whatever sp-
poiutments the Irish Government had made, or
might bereiifter make, under the new regulations of
the Courts in Ireland, would be regulated by a
ihicere desire of appointing none but persons who
were every way qualified fur the discharge of the
dories of those offices.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, that owing to the order
of proceeding adopted by the Commission, for
which he by no means blamed thrtn. the Report
on the subject of the compensations to be granted
to perimos holding offices which were to be abolished
would he made at as late a period of the Session,
in to preclude the House from exercising that dis-
cretion of careful scrutiny tutu the propriety of the
adjudwatioo of compensation agreed upon by the
Commission, which it was desirable the House
should at all times exercise on such subjects. And
as by the form of the Bill antler which that Com-
eti;smon was framed, the House was required to say
Ilisy to such part of the said adjudication as it
might not thinic proper to approve of, before
the close of the Session in which the Report should
he made, otherwise such adjudication would be
tnial, he recommended un *lteration to be made in

the Bt for the purpose of declaring that the ad-
judication shookl not he considered as final until
the close of the nest Seeslon. He fully concurred
in opinion with the Hon. Member for Limerick,
that it was due to the Chief Justice of the King's
Bentltifiat the correspondence for which he moved
should he laid before the House.

Mr. GOULBORN sgid he had not addrewied hint.
•elf to the last topic mentioned by the Mtn. Biro•
nee, because at the lime when he left Ireland lie was
sow aware that any such correspondence existed.
The mmion was then put. and agreed to.
Mr. SPRING Rice then moved for a retnrn of
the number of Commissions for taking affidavit,.
and the fees taken on the same in the Court of
King's Bench, in Ireland. in 1821 ; also for a re-
turn of the amount of fees charged in the Court of
Excl►eyuer in Ireland on the swearing in of She.
alai in 1821.—Ordered.

Mr. DickiNsoN moved the appointment of a
Select Committee, to inquire into the laws end
practice of the Commissioners of Sewers—which
was agreed to, and e Committee appointed.

(Fleur, hesr.)—The statements which he had
made were from the estimates before the Douse ;
but, strange to say, those statements had been met
by others from the Honourable Secretary, whieh
were not to be found in ally ratinititeo whatever.

as the means within his power would permit him;
and any inaccuracy which might here escaped him
was sot lobe corrected or disproved by the flourish-
ing of the Honourable Secretary shout his not being
able to distinguildi sea from laud, wood from stony, '
and barracks from ships. He could ow; in the high
rhetorical flourish of the Honourable Secretary,
desesot on the connexion and dependessce of the
prosperity and welfare of the country na the '
prices of beef and pork at various periods; hut
he treated that he was able in speak plain
facts, and to those he had confined himself...—.
To Come to the two must important points. the di&
ferenee between his statements and those of the
Hon. Secretary (Mr. Cruker). He (Mr. Hume)
listed on the farmer eireiling that the Navy
Estimates in 1817 were 5.985,0001. sod the
Honourable Secretary then rose up and charged
him with the blunder of forgetting to add 671,0001.
to that sum for old stores; but lie refused to
add that sum, and he should .tidy the House that
he was correct, anti that the Hon. Secretary to the
Admiralty was wrong. It happened that in the
Bth Report of the Finance Committee he (Mr.
Home) found the same estimate drawn up ; It
Sage 54 of the Report, after enumerating the
items, the total amounted to 5,985,0001.; yet the
Hon. Secretory, with that coolusion of iutellect
which he attrtbitted to others, had charged him
with error. There was another statement of still
more importance that he hail to make. In looking
at the publications of the day, he observed, in a
certain Evening Paper, his own statement pretty
fairly given, indeed it was a transcript from the
Morning ehresick; hut the speech of the Ho-
nourahle Secretary was changed bruit in matter
and style. He (Mr. Hume) had stated, that
from the termination of the war to the end of
last year, the sums voted by that House amounted
for ordinary repairs, building, rebuilding, and re.
pairing ships of war, to 17,738.6451.; every item
of this had been compared and verified since by
an Honourable Baronet who sat near hint, and
the Host. Member fur Rochester (Mr. Bernal).
Yet the Hon. Secretary challenged him (Mr. Hume)
to make up even a sum of five millions. The
House would recollect the mode in which the Rona
Secretary charged him with ant understanding the
subject, because he called it WA, and wear instead
of wear an 1 tear. The Hon. Secretary was tier.
fectly at liberty to exercise his wit if he only stuck
to correctness. Those who went to war take their
chance for blows, and he (Mr. Home) was quite
ready to take his chance, hut he hoped for fair
play. He (Hume) stated the charge from 1815 in
1821, to be seventeen mtllions and upwards. and
from the papers on the table it appeared there was—

For ar,ar and tear.... i 6,131,110

For ordinary repairs
For building, rebuilding, Ike 8,566,896
For merchant: pied* 438,111

and in that he had not taken in half n million for
rigging. He (Mr. flume) entreated the protection
of the House against the sort of treatnieut he had
received from official men. Hr had no object but
to lay the truth before that House and before the
public, and lie must consider himself treated in en
unfair, unparhanientory, and unhandsome mariner.
He then moved, wash amendment, for a detailed ac-
count of the coin of 1,781,3i5/. which they were
now called upon to vote in confidence.
Mr. Commit did justice to the sincerity of the
Hon. Member's statements, or he would not have re-
peated theta to-night, when he had got only deeper
into the mire—fur the statements he had made, were
either inaccurate in amount, or where the amount
was accurate, the Hon. Gentleman was mistaken so
the meaning which he affixed to thew. The Hon.
Member had spoken of his own statement as cor-
rectly mitten in an Evening Paver. but that his (Mr.
Croker's) was corrected by some mysterious hand.
He could assure the Host. Gentleman he never cor-
rected bat two of his speeches; one was on the Duke
of York's question, the other on the subject of the
Catholic Claims, and he had not, he believed, writ-
ten a word in any newspaper for the last two years.
The lion. Member Now stated, that he had on a
former night said the naval estimates in 1817 were
5.985,0001.; hut what. he (Mr. Croker) lesrles.ly
asserted was, that the Honourable Member had
called it 5 300.0001. [rite Honourable Gentle-
men here entered tutu • detail of the circumstances
of the former debate, to prove that what he now
stated man correct.]—The Honourable Member
was led into the mistake by the awkward manner
in which the old stores were deducted from the
total amount in the printed estimate—(Hear, hear,
hear)—fur which indeed the office was nut liable,
as it was ordered by the Act of Parliament so to be
made up. The Honourable Member had on the
former evening said the 17 millions were expended
for building of ships, arid added, that it was a sum
liege enough to build the navies of the universe.—
The Honourable Gentleman opposite might now
wish 10 change the terms ; but in the Ho-
rinsirable Member's speech he confined the expen-
diture to budding only ; besides, now he bad taken
two years hue than he (Mr. Croker) understood
him. lie lhouglst he had stated the expenditure was
from 1817, and nut from 1815, and when he (Mr.
Croke") read the items from • hound volume of
the Nary Earirnates which lie then held in his hand,
be commenced is 1817 • and the Hon. Member, though
he was correcting sod eierkiste him, yet seasserced, and
did not slop him to say he should have begun at 1615
The Host. Member now came down to more fur a new trial
at two points only, bat in hiss former statement these were
many points. [Mr. Center here receptinlaird some other
diffi renew, that he coustilcreil as inaccuracies its the Hon.
Member fur Aberdeen ] He concluded by assuring that
Hun. Gentleman that it was not hie faith but hie iigures
who h he doubted; hut it appeared that be bad puzzled
himself with his apneas, and then came down to imitates(' the
Moore.
Mr. BERNAL amid, that on she former evening his ears
were open, mad he hail understood bin Hon. Fliend (Mr.
11"111e) in say, Old 17 twill were expended in seven years
in the building, re-building, and repairing of ship". The
Hun. Member then noticed some variant ea in the navy "cli-
mates and lb. detailed account of the years 1817, 1818. and
1819,in inetchantie sod the East lushes. Hr concluded
by sh chrius that he was eunvinceil of the accuracy of his
Hon. Friend, and was 'whaled be was right ist bus statement
of the 17 millions.

However, he could not help reenioking that he had sees •

LONDON;

THURSDAY, FssavaßY es, 1822.

We entertain a kojie, in consequence of what fell
last night in the House of Commons from Dlr.
WALILACIN that Parliament will be required in this
Sevaion to consider the propriety of removing the
duties of import between England and Ireland.
The existence of soch duties betray a feeling of
jealousy which ought no longer to exist, and are in
principle opposed to every currect notion of politi-
cal economy. • Private interests may undoubtedly
be effected by their sodden end total removal, but
the public welfare demands the sacrifice; end sooner
or later it moat be accomplished. The union of
the two Islands is incomplete until this great work
be perfected.

If the Ministers of the Croon be sincere in the
declaration of the.epinion that no relief cotdd arise
to the country from the reduotion of-any pdrtion of •
the taxes, lU:becomes a matter:of suriniee that.
they stsonldat so'early petiod of the. Session have.,
with an opitarent readiness,' voluntarily proposed to
.
decline the renewal of theannual osalt,t4x4 This is

meant of aiunlitti Is
comiusunity, is to enable itrimimen
enssets fur the
liqaidittinn of the debt to large sums of
mislay esery year into the Market. We have
adviiedly used this Mode of 'ertPres.ing the opeva:
lion of the .inking fund; for it would be a siloehery
to talk of reducing the national debt at the Motimeut
utheu the capital of the debt is about to be inerroord,
weer% millions by the transfer of the 5 per crow..
and four mafiosi by a loan from the Bank to pee-
mote parochial •rieteutagance. There is io the
*hole of the proceedings of the Ministers so moth
of inconsistency and of contradiction', that if theit
Principles were to be collected from their actions.
Ilse pursuit would porezle many a careful i quiver.
We cannot doubt, however; from their own declare-
Bone, that they are the devoted advocates of hie-
lion, and we must thence infer that the proposed
remission of the annual malt duty .rises from a feel-
lug upon their part more nearly allied to prudence.
if not to absolute apprehension, than to a sincere
desire to relieve the sufferings of the country.

lu the mode adopted by the Ministers and their
friends to support their position in favour of tats.
Lion, there seems to be a want either of candour or
of precision. They affect to believe that the only
complaint now urged by the agriculturists is tl.e
extreme depression of the prices of agricultural
practice, and that those who pronose the reduction
of taxes are impressed with an idea that the only
way.,in which such • measure would operate bene-
Ikially was •by raising the price of corn in the
market. There can be no doubt that if, by the di-
minution of taxes affecting generally the great mass
of the people, the power of consumption could be
enlarged, the increased demand consequent thereon
must have the effect of proportionally raising the
prices of such articles as might thus come more
extensively into regnesl, sad in this way the agri.
culturist might indirectly obtain relief. But it is
a mistake to suppose that the farmers complain of
low prices in the abstract, and nut because such
juices are found inadequate to meet their expendi-
ture. All that the farmers require s, that their
incomes should bear such a proportion to their out-
goings as would remunerate them for their indus-
try and the employment of their capital, and to
them it matters very little whether this object
be effected by the enlargement of the one, of
the diminution of the other. Some very nice
calculations have been made, both in and out
of Parliament.- to shew that the amount of taxes
paid by • farmer fortes but a small item in
his expenditure in comparison with his rent, and
that it is to his landlord he ought to apply fur re.
lief, and not to the country. The question then
lies between the landlords of Great Britain and the
Ministers ; but it cannot be forgotten that the
landlords hare already made large sacrifices from
their rents, and that unless relief be extended to
themselves by a diminution of their taxes, •sod s
reduction in the various demands which, from the
weight of universal 'elation, fall upon. them
directly and indirectly, they must reduce them.
selves to very serious distress if they make
any further reductions. The tenant of the soil
is certainly entitled to the first place in public
consideration, but we ought not wholly to deny our
sympathies to the interests of the landifwners,
whose capital is the laud which is intrusted to the
skill and integrity of the cultivators. The only
question, therefore, that properly belongs to Par-
liament, is the expediency of continuing any tax
which might with safely be remitted. We confect'
that we think the speech of the Marquis of
LANSDOWN, on Tuesday evening, was, upon this
topic, wholly unanswerable.

We have received Paris Papers of Sunday and
Monday. The former contain reports of the pro-
ceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday,
in which some matters occur that at this particular
juncture of our own financial affairs are well de.
serving of attention. A project of law cori?erniog
the regulation of the accounts of 1820 was discussed
in the Chamber, and the opportunity was seised to
offer to the people of France a general view of the
financial condition of the country. M. Dumatsa
Di H•traANNE, after observing that the receipts
and expenditure of the Government were consider.
ably larger than they were before the Revolution,
said, Our financial situation is highly flattering ;
it is, I believe, the best in Europe. A floating
debt of 67 ni,llions of francs (about 2,800,0000
offers nothing to alarm us. Not only . have (it
resources been sufficient for our expenses in lux I
and 1822, but a cons :1-.able excess of receipts
has permitted us to diminish the land tax. The
excess of 1840 was 37 millions; the year 1821 was
nearly the same. More than forty millions of tem-
porary expenses will be extiogssiihed from year to
year, and the liquidation of )Ite consolidated debt
will proceed with rapid pace. It is from the midst
of misfortunes which eeentedeready to overwhelm
our country with embarrassments of every kind,
it is after the liquidation of enormous tributes that
France rises more prosperous than ever. Honour
to the Government of the Kim and to the
Chamber, which have never despaired of our
safety, and• which in happy Concurrence hareec-
:4elipliehed the restoration of •out flounces.st - This
,es. a most flattering' pict ore the state of the
• Peach treasury, bat we believe it to be fully
llittimited. The Minister of Finance did not take
a part in this discussion, wllich-referred to the de.
