TUESDAY EVENING-, MAY 4, 1852.

that the whole postal communication of Northern Europe
with America would inevitably flow into this line. As
had been pointed out—ore was Galway, and the other
a prt on the Shannon. He hapsd his Noble Friend
would institute a local investigation into the actual cir-
cumstances of thew two ports, aud in the meantime he
wauld take the liberty of moving that the memorials ad-
dressed to the Treasury on the whole of this subject be
Lid on the tab's of the House. _ _ _

Earl GRAN VILLE supposed there would be no ob-
jection to the production of these memorials; and, after
they were laid on the table, perhaps the House could go
further into the subject.—(ffear, bear.)
Lard CAMPBELL said, their Lordships would per-
haps be surprised that he should rise to take part in
a debate of this kind; but, as he had lately had the
honour thrust upon him of becoming an Irish pro-
prietor—( laugh)—and as ho had been requested,
if an opportunity presented itself, to put in a good
word on this subject, and particularly in favour of the
port of Galway, he wished to make one or two obser-
vations. He was much afraid that nothing could be
expected to be done in this matter in favour
of Ireland or of Galway; but, as the Noble Lord
(Lord Derby) had told them that the completion of
the submarine telegraph might alter the state of affairs,
and as they had seen sudden revolutions on other sub-
jects of late years, it might be that they would expe-
rience-a sudden revolution in this matter also.—(Hear,
bear.) He had been informed that the submarine tele-
graph would be almost immediately put in operation,
and then communications would take place between Lon-
don and Dublin in the coarse of a few seconds. When

that was once done, he hoped they would see the very
desirable object carried out of a packet station at Gal-
wsy.—(llear, hear.) With referenoo to the condition of
property in that part of the country, he- might mention
that he knew an estate which used to produce 3,0001.
a-year that for the last five years had not yielded enough
to nay the rates.
The motion fur the production of the memorials was
then agreed to.
The Copyright Amendment Bill was read a third time
and passed.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
