IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING•)

HOUSE OF LORDS:

The LORD CHANORLLOR took his seat on the Wool.
sack at Five o'clock.
LORD CLANCARTY.
Lord CLANCARTY came to the table to be sworn, but
the Noble Lord refused to take the oath of supremacy,
and, therefore, after a, short discussion, the Noble Lord
was directed to withdraw, which ne did accordingly.
DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND.
The Earl of RODEN then rose to put a question to
the Government on the subject of the outrages in Ire-
land. Since he last had the honour of addressing their
Lordships on this subject additional threatening notices
had been sent to some of the landed gentry in his neigh-
bourhood, and he was very
much :afraid the failure of
the Special Commission would have the eff,ct of aggra-
vating the evils. A meeting of landed proprietors
and agriculturists had been held in the county of Louth,
and they had passed a resolution expressive of their
opinion thatit was the duty of the Government to take
immediate. steps to suppress the secret societies existing
m Ireland, and thus arrest some of those agrarian crimes
which some members of those societies had in contem-
plation.—.(dear, hear.) Many of those societies had
other objects besides agrarian; they were, in fact,
dangerous political Foci; ties, and it was hope-
less. to expect psece or prosperity in Ireland
while they wore allowed to carry on their proceedings
wish impunity.—(flear, hear.) It was not for him,
or those who urged him on this matter to suggest the
means by which these societies could be suppressed and
the terrible crime prevented, because it was the duty of
those who undertook the Government of the country
to be prepared of their own accord to meet the
emergency.—(Hear, hear.) It was a lamentable
fact that crime of every description, but more
especially that of murder, was rapidly on the increase,
atd the peaceably-disposed portion of the community
had a right to look to the Government for immediate
rotection and redress.—(Hear, hear.) Justice was
defied in many parts of Ireland, for those who made
ant. attempt to maintain or enforce the law went in fear
of their lives; and already, as the re,urns o • the
table showed, a worthy and humane gentleman
had been barbarously murdered t r having done his
duty as a magistrate.—( Hear, hear.) Now Govern-
ment, instead f taking measures to remove this shock-
ing stat 4 of things, were lukewarm in the discharge of
their duty to the state, and no later ago than last Tues-
day two policemen were fined 10e., or ordered to be im-
prisoned as many days, for stopping people on the high-
way whom they suspected as being in possession of arms.
It turned out, however, wbee they came to search one
of them that, instead of a blunderbuss, it was a bottle of
w .uky the man had under tis coat. The policemen,
however, erred in the right direction, and they were,
therefore, not deserving of any punishment.—(Hear.)
He trusted this and all other similar cases would bein-
quired into, and that care would be taken to. protect the
police under all circumstances in the execution of their
duty.—(hear, hear.) He concluded by moving for cer-
tain returns cone' cied with the state of the counties of
Loath and Armagh, and relating to the crimes of
murder and other outrages committed in those counties
since the let of January.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was scarcely
audible in the gallery, was understood to say, that Go-
vernment was tully alive to the evils which existed in
Ireland, and the importance of applying a remedy to
them as speedily as possible.—(Hear, hear.) Govern-
ment had done all in their power to discover the perpe-
trators of these murders, and he was not aware that any
of the police force bad been ever blamed for exercising
an undue vigilance in the discharge of their duties.—
(Hear, hear.) There would be no objection to make the
return which the Noble Earl called for.—(Hear, hear.)
The Earl of WICKLOW hoped the Government would
not lose sight of the fact that many of the evils could be
removed by legislation.
The Earl of GLENGALL blamed the Govern-
ment for having appointed the recent Special Com-
mission; it would have been much better had
the law been allowed to follow the usual course, and
there might have been a chance of insuring a con-
viction of the offenders. As it was, the Special Com-
mission had only had the effect of increasing the alarm
which prevailed in Ireland, for while some of the jury
were for a conviction, only three were for an acquittal,
and as those three would not give way, an im-
pression had got abroad that this might
be the result of the trials in other cases.
and thus neither property nor life was safe in the
country. The criminal law of Ireland required amend-
ment, and he hoped the present session would not be al-
lowed to close without an effort being made to effect that
amendment.—(Hear, hear.)
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

ALDBOROUGII fIAttBOUR OF REFUGE AND
INIPROVENIENT BILL.
The second reading of t'ais Bail was postponed for a
month.
CHELTENHAM STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE

BILL.

On the motion for the Second reading of this Bill,
Mr. G. BERKELEY moved that it be read a second
time this day six months. There were twenty-six un-
paid magistrates residing in Cheltenham, who discharged
their nuaes with efficiency and impartiality, and as the
inhabittint rat. payers did not desire this Bill he hoped
the House would not put the borou4h to the expense of
going beture a C.,raraittee to contest the Bill.
Mr. HALLE WELL seconded thr, amendment, and
having resid,d in Cheltenham for several years, he could
state positively thero were no valid grounds for this
measuri-.

Mr. HUME thought it extraordinary that neither of
the Members who endorsed this Bill were present; it
tiumewhat suspicious, and convinced him some-
thing was wrong. He should, therefore, vote for the
amendment.

The amendment was carried without a division, and
the Bill was ordered to be read a second time this day
six months.
