IRISH MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex—
CHEQUER the Huwe resolved itself into a Cons•
tnittee of Supply, to which the Irish Miscellaneous
Estimates were referred.

Mr. PEEL moved, " That a sum not exceeding
8.000/. be granted for carrying on the works of
Dunmore Harbour."
Sir J. NEWPORT said, that no sum was ever
granted more calculated to improve the connection
between the two countries than the sum now moved
for. He hoped on some louvre occasion that a
much larger sum would be granted ; and, in proof
of the advantage of such a disposal of the public
money, he need only mention, that even since the
commencement of the present Session, not less than
100 vessels had, on more than one occalorm, been
detained in the harbour of %Vateiford by bad ord.-
ther—whereas, had the harbour of Dutimore been
calculated for their admiss 1111 l they %ymild liave
been, for the most part, enabled to proceed upon
their voyage.
Mr. PLEL raid, that an engineer had exatiiiiied
the harbour with the intent of a further [moose-
ment, end had reported that the work. i tt...tivut
to be instituted would not prevent farther ex-
tension of similar itoproveinents.—TL.: sum ..as
then voted.
The sum of 5,0001. was voted for carrying on the works
artlowth Harbour.
Tire sum of 15,0001. was votett fur improving, ealarging,
and .uppurting the Fever 11,sspitals of Irellaust

Sir M. W. RIDLEY asked, whether the sum of
15,0001. could be thought auflicient to counteract
the extent of the present contegt in Ireland ? If
more were thought reqinsite, he should nut hesitate
to vote fur it.—(!fear, hear.)
Sir J. NEWPORT feared the sum of 15.0001.
would be found quite inadequate to obtain any
cisive advantage, particularly alter the etetemena
that had been lately received from the Bishop of
Cork, whn mentioned that a sum not less than
9,0001. had been raised in that city alone by private
contributiou, towards th. relief of the itirLgent sick,
Mild that not more now remained in his hands they
would be sufficient to stivpirtt the hoviials for tire
weeks. He should he as unwilling a, troy one to
draw improvidently upon the purse of the tiatiari.
but the present was au extreme case, a dreedfiil
dispensation of Providence, which would justify
the utmost liberality on the part of Parliament.—
(Hear, heat.)
Mr. Peg!, said, that the present sum was in Atli.
lion to 3,000/. inure which had been previously
transmitted. He was convinced that if 39 or
40,0001. were adequate to stop the prown ss of this
dreadful contagion, the House would readily grant
it ; but he w,a of opinion, that if the Government
were to take the matter into their own hands alto..
gether, the exertions coP private charity tort bt he in-
terrupted, front which alone any efficient advant ge
could be expected. There were, however, seveiat
districts of Ireland where, in consequence of the
absence of the Gentry (their natural guardian.),
the pour were altogether destitute—/lit
the Government were obliged to take time inaAer
into their own hands.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT remarked upon the oli,iitie-
ful indifference shee) towards the soil', rings et t is
poor of Ireland by the Noblemen and Gelidf men
who, residing in this country, drew from [ribald
millions of its weulth.—(llear, the re.
treme misery of the ulifietunote people of flit
country from which they derived their means of
support, they did not semi, to the one-tenth lore
of what they wimld have been compelled to do, had
any laws existed for the parochial relief of the
indigent.
The sum of 18,4611. was voted for the building of
Churches and Glebe houses in Ireland during the pieseut
year.
Sir JOBB, NEWPORT, censured the gross abuse
that was daily cotumitted by the Privy Collard of
Ireland, la uniting parishes. It was reitiark.iole
that in proportion as this took place, the unioher
of Protestant inhabitants decreased.

............... .....
Mr. PEEL said, that the unions were caused
chiefly by the want of a sufficient ',umber of
churches in Ireland ; and where tilt re %%aft 110 chords
in a parish, it was Otinccessitry to have a
Sir JOHN NEWPORT—II there was not a chtirvis
in the parish, nor even one Protestant, it would bit
of advantage that a clergyman should reside. their.
The people should have the ail% aiitage of' his pre-
sence, his moral., and his exiiinu:e.
Mr. PEEL moved, that a rout not axereding
15,000/. be granted for completing the inland Nu-
vigattosi between Dublin and the r Selllllllol/
Thus great object had been party effected, but
shoal. were found to interfere, and it lind been esti-
mated that the sum of v 10,600/. would he sufficient
to complete it, of winch lie should require only
15,000/. this year.
The question was then carried.
L itit CALMERSTON
Thal the sum of 21e7,8131. be granted for the iEsem'io.t.ied
Militia of Ellll4lllll.+o,dere.l.
Also the sum or 114,0001. fur the disentloodi.ll Mu' ii 3 of
Ireland —Granted.
The Speaker then resumed the Clair, and the

Report ..l the Committee was ordered to be
brought op t♦morrow.
JUSTICE-GENERAL OF SCOTLAND.
Mr. BANKER moved that the Bill for regulating
the office of Justice-General of Scotland be read
the third time thi• day three mouths.
Mr. J. P. GRANT had no objection to the
motion, although no argument had been given by
the Honourable Member in support of it.
Mr. TIERNEY hoped the Bill would not again be
brought in neat Session. The whole was au
abominable job, and this would he the last of it.
Tife CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that no such engagement could be held out. The
Bill had been brought in under the advice of the
Finance Committee, who had recommended that
the office should be regulated.
Mr. TIERNEY believed that the Finance Com-
mittee bad recommended that the office should he
abolished fo► the sake of saving the War} to the
public, sot that the office shu.uld be united to
another, end the salary thus continued.
After eomr conversation between Mr. Hunts-
lON, Sir J. NEWPoST, and Mr. J. P. GRANT,
the minion was carried.
