TYTHE SYSTEM, IRELAND.
Mr. S. COOPER presented a petition from the county
of Sligo, complaining of the extensive distresses in that
county. as %tenni; of the tythe system. The hon. mem-
ber ob ,d, that the evil which abated the south of
Ireland was to be introduced into another district.
Mr. ABERCROMBY said, the Petition merited the
moat serious attention. He hoped the house would pre.
vent that extension of the evil whirls was feared. Speak-
ing of the t) the system, lie mentioned an instance where
a clergyman in Ireland, in the costae of 15 years, had
issued 6,000 processes for the recovery of tyilies. He
admitted that the law was on the clergyman's side; but
lie mentioned the subjert to show the House of Commons
what the law sanctioned.--(Hear.)
Sir J. NEWPORT spoke of the tythe on potatoes as
one of the severest scourges that afflicted Ireland ; and
if there was not some rrtnedial measure, suffering and
outrage, unequalled by all that been heard of, would be
produced. _

Mr. GOULI3URN explained some circumstances con-
nected with the petition. particularly the facts that led
to the enforcement of the tytbe upon potatoes.
Mr. HUME said, he bad postponed his motion on this
subject at the request of the right bon. gentleman s and
be had daily expected to hear that the government was
about to do something to effect relief t but week after
week had elapsed without any intimation being given;
and if left to the right hon. gentleman and the minister,
the whole session would, doubtless, be allowed to pass
away without any thing being done. He daily received
communications that convinced him of the importance of
the subject, and he was only surprised that no member
from that part of the kingdom had taken up the question.
(Hear, bear.)
Mr. S. RICE said, that the existing evils in Ireland had
their origin in tythes, and not iu the rents; and he trusted
that 'ere long, that the tythes would be cast ou the Pro-
testant land-owner.

Mr. PLUNKETT admitted the greatness of the evil.—
He knew of no remedy that would not affect the security
of property; and then he feared that evils would be pro-
duced greater than those it desired to remedy. If they
began with the property of tit.• clergy, lie did not know
how that of the laudlord would escape; and thee where
was the change to end t
Sir N. COLTHUR.ST trusted, that the subject of tithes
would be brought before the house previous to the end of
the session. It ought to be brought forward by the mi.
utsters.—(Hear, hear.)
CIVIL LIST.

Mr. LENNARD brought forward his motion for a
coninsittee to inquire into the expencea of the third class
or the civil list ; that respecting ambassadors, envoys, disc.
to ascertain what savings could be produced. The hon.
,u.•mber said, the di►tress of the country was generally
admitted, and it was idle to talk of maintaining our dig-
nity by extravagant expenditure, when every post con-
vc) ed accounts of our distresses. Since 1792 the expence
had been greatly inctcased, and where was the necessity
fin it ? Some expellees had been trebled and quadrupled,
particularly the embassy to Russia; and our ambassador
to America cost 6,0 ml., which was 491. more than the
salary of the President, (Hear.) He would not allude
to the extravagant appointment to Switzerland (Mr.
Wynn's), because it was to be made Ite subject of a die
motion, and because it was an exception to the ex-
travagance even of the civil list. He thought there could
be uu objection to inquiry, as there was so vast an Increase
since 1792 there was au increase of 1890001.; where
was the advantage of continuing It ? He thought the De-
fendant and the Crown would hest consult the interests
of the country by acquiescing iu seductioue. He con-
