POOR'S SILLS.
Mr. WHITBREAD rose to move for leave to
bring in 13illa similar to those which he had brought
forward last Session, relative to the Education of
the Children of the Poor in Parochial Schools, and
ameliorating their situations. Wiley that time he
had taken the liberty of publishing a pamphlet con-
certing it ; and he was hopeful that now there
would be no Oprition to the measures he was to
subrnit to the once. He had formetly found an
opposition, coming from a quarter he least of all
expected; be was not, however, to be discouraged in
the pursuit, as he was more and more convinced of
the necessity of his plan being adopted, having had
an opportunity of observing the manners and con-
daft of the different classes of the community
during the late election. Where he lived, the elec-
tion happened to be strongly contested, and from
the behaviour of the populace upon that occasion,
lie was more convinced than ever, that insulation
was the best boon that could be given to the people.
as well as the b-st security to the country. As this
ail .fid no: differ in any ore particular from the
One hrougla .3 during last Parliament, it would be
needless to reprint it, as there was a sufficient
number of copies. He should take the liberty,
therefore, of presenting that Bill on Saturday, move
the second reading on Monday, and the committal
of it on Monday sennight. Ile then concluded
with moving for leave to bring in a Bill for es-
taltlishing Parochial Schools in Eitgiand and %Vales

Following now the same et...arse be had formerly
chalked out. except that he proposed to leave out

should therefore move for leave to tiring in a Bill
for presenting and encouraging industry amongst
the labou ~ class of the community.—Leave given.
He sttygeqe3 aLtyhat these would be no occa-

. a...a.eteee of the Land

motion of account of the length of time it would
take to prepare such an account, the matter being
so intermixed with Treasury warrants, as to occa-
sion the turning over of the whole books for thir-
teen years back.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought that the obje& wanted might be as etralti-
ally accomplished by the Hen. Mcmber confining

REPRESSION OF INSURRECTION IN IRELAND.
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY rose to move
for leave to bring in a Bill to repress insierredion in
Ireland. He believed every gentleman would re-
cancel the circumstances of the late rebellion in
that country, and that those who witnessed it would
be of opinion, that some legislative measure was
recess 1•, ,n order to the continuance of tranqaila
lity. The Irish Parliament, in 1796, passed a law,
in cyder to remedy the deficiency of the then ex-
isting laws, an 1 to put a rap to the rebelli en which
then rai;•ca. By that law it was pemrided, that per-
sons shirald be more effeSually prohibited from ad-
iniu:steTing unlawful oaths, or oaths for rebellious
or u. lawful purp3Sei ; And measures were taken to
find our those parts of the country whete the pen-
ple were most disposed to comma •.utrage Persons
were required to remain in their houses between sun-
set and sun-rise, and .he Magistrates, and Lords
Lieutenant of the County. were empowered to send
persons, who were found nut after that hour, on
board the fleet. It also reps red all persons found
with arms to surrender thin These, with otoer
such regillaeons, unque;rinnahly had a good effea,
and rendered the Bill well calculated to meet the
insurreSion of that period. 'LIU% had been proved
by those persons who were employed to perform
the provisions of that Bill, swing, that the insur-
reSion law was well calculated to produce the pur-
poses for which it Weli breaded. Although it be,
no doubt, necessary to continue it in its original ex-
tent, he conceived it would be also advantageous to
alter and amend it in some particulars, so as more
effeelually to guard the counties, and to bring per •
sons offending before the Quarter Sessions, attended
by a Barrister and K•ng's Counsel. Besides this,
he meant to introduce into the Bill some more effec-
tual means to empower the Magistrates to search
for arms. lie had no doubt, but that in the pre-
sent situation of that country the Bill would he of
much service, it being almost entirely the same with
that which was intended to have been brought tin-
ward in the last Parliament, by the former Admini-
stration. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by
moving for leave to bring in a Bill to suppress insur-
reftion, and prevent the distuiba.,ce of the public
peace in Ireland.
Sir JOHN NE\VPO It I' wished to know whether
it was intended to limit the Bill to a certain period
or duration ?
SO- A. WELI.FSLEY answered, that he had
not yet made up his mind upon that part of the sub-
jeti.
Sir JOHN NEWPOR l' thought it ought only
to be made annual He oas of opinion also, that
too great a responsibility was likely to attach upon
the Barrister, should he be a person eonneeded with
the comfy.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
seemed inclined to concur with the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet in his first sugseittiont but wish respea to the
other, be thought it would be better to suspend or
postpone his judgment upon the clause alluded to,
until he had an opportunity ra eestng it in the Bill.
as it might therein be rendered seholly unsibjeftiona-
ble. lie apprehended that the plan of last Session, as
to the King's Counsel, was liable to great objections,
by exciting a jealousy in the Magistrates nf counties,
if another person was set over them, havieg a con-
trouling authority. Tli.re would surely be great Ms.
je.iions to it inthis country ; but, the UM' time that
he was ready to enter into these feelings, he was aware
that in a lase of this kind there ought to be some
sort of check, in or.ler to give security. if pos-Ohle,
that local piejudicea should not be carried •ri any
improper extent, and to guard Against their opera-
tion. These, and other such niao..rs, however.
might be mere properly discu.sed in tonic future
stage of the Bill. Tlte Hou.• seemed to be agreed
upon his side as t• the necessity of the general m2a-
sure. and the only object in altering or amend-
ing the fnewer Bill was to add greater security
to the lenien, • vireise of those powers already af-
forded by the eassang law.
S•r A. WELLESLEY said. that the Right Hon.
Strums seemed to have misunderst-ed him.
