The debate d Thursday evening on Mr. O'Connell's
motion for a repeal of the Irish Sub-letting Ant, was gra-
tifying as well fur the general concurrence of the moat in-
,telligent members in certain leading anti impertent views
kiat.regard to the interests of Ireland, as for the absence
of that abornitothle spirit of acrimony and personality whirls
bad hitherto displayed itself on every occasion in which
Mr. O'Connell but made himself a conspiettotos patty.
The condition of landed property in Ireland which called
for sotne remedy in the nature of the Sub. letting Act, is well
known to have been the most miserable that could be ima-
gined. lake an estate of one thousand acres, or a smaller
one—say two hundred, for the sake of shorter and
simpler calculation—A, the proprietor, resident (for
the most part) at a distance, hail (or it had been &sue fur
hitn by his ancestor) let this land to Bat ss. per acre, on
is lease, perhaps, of ninety-nine years ; B having so va-
luable an interest in the soil, consulted at once his ease anti
profit by re-letting it, in four equal divisions, to C, D, E,
and F, at 10s. per acre, and for a shorter, though consi-
derable, term. These under-tenants, as gentility was ra-
ther cheap in Ireland, and descended some steps lower
than with Englishmen—these under-tenants, we say—
would, in thousands of cases, not think of cultivating
in their own persons, or even on their own account, the
fifty:iteret each which they rented from B, their im-
melliate landlord. They would calculate what advance
-tint their rent conlit be-obtained from another and inferior
class of tenants, living in idleness themselves ; another di-
vision of the 200 acres would then take place amongst a
new generation of occupants, who, possibly sixteen in
number, might each have his 121 acres of ground, at the
rent of 20s. ; nor was even this twice-told multiplication
of tenants in a duplicate ratio extravagant enough to an-
ewer the tastes anti requisitions of the people. With the
growth of human beings, whose rapid increase was un-
checked by the fear of poverty or the appetite for com-
fort, came a fresh competition for land, as, offer from un-
calculating peasants of still higher rents, and a subdivision
of the 121 acres, held by each of the third class of lease-
hollers, into four parts or fractions, at the rent, in all
human probability, of 41 per acre ; thus raising the num-
ber of occupants of the 200 acres, originally held by one
tenant, 13, at a rent of 251. per annum, to 64 persons--
or, more properly speaking, families—paying, or promis-
ing, in the whole, to their 16 immediate landlords, no less
than SOU per annum. The details of this picture may be
not quite exact; but theoutline is so, presenting one !mad
landlord, three ranks of middle-men, each sucking the pro-
duce of the soil in idleness, or with no other trouble than
that of pressing for his rent; and, lastly, the mi-
serable, degraded, racked, anti prostrate occupiere, toiling
for all above them, half starved, and in tatters. Well,
these swarms of paupers hail to find the rent for every
order of middle.tnan between them and the head landlord,
and for bins likewise, being bound to pay just sixteen time,
mere for the ground than A, the owner of the fee simple,
received from his immediate tenant 13. But here was the
crying and insufferable cruelty of the system. upon the oc-
cupying tenant. He paid his rent in full to his own im-
mediate lessor ; but if this lessor failed to pay over his
rent to the middle-man, who stood one step higher than
himself, the latter might have recourse to a distress upon
the honest occupant who had paid already, and so on up
to the head landlord, the default of each middle-man in
succession being visited upon the poor creature who tilled
the earth, who might thus be distrained upon four
times over, with no remedy but by action at law against
the swindlers who defrauded alike those who paid them
rent, and him or them to whom they owed it. This
grand and dreadful evil was put an end to by the Sub-
letting Act, which made the exhibition of a receipt
front the lowest middle-man, as was . stated the
other night in the House of Commons, a valid de-
fence for the occupying tenant against all other claims for
rent. This was undoubtely a humane and decisive bene-
fit. But there was something else contemplated by the
Act—and something else, we grieve to say, too effectually
accomplished under it, The Sub-letting Act, considering
that. the, main rause of the misery prevailing thioughont
Ireland was the infinite multiplication of people, comp tree,
with disposable capital, and the almost infinite subdivision
of hind, produced by their competition for even its bona Vest
portions, gave a new anti peremptory effect to the prohi-
bition of subleases hitherto dormant; the result of which
was, that in numberless cases the head landlord became
armed with a power to eject the unfortunate occupying
tenants from his estate,--that is, to consign them to
famine. It must he confessed, that the nature of the
evil to be provided against by this law, was one which
incorporated in the very appllication of the remedy
another, and not less appalling evil. If the thing com-
;deified of was the multiplication and consequent misery
of the poor, the safeguard against the recurrence of the
mischief was the plunging them from wretchedness intd
desperation,—from a life without hope to death by hunger.
To diminish the swarm of paupers upon an estate, the
law said,"Elect them,"—that id, let them expire. That
infinite suffering—a vast increase of suffering—has ac-
tually resulted from the prompt and heartless manlier in
which the ex-post facto powers of this new law have in
many instances been exercised, we have unhappily no reason
to doubt. Poor families who had hitherto been enduring
life, have been compelled to struggle with the pangs of
death. They have been literally cast out to perish. Mr.
O'Connell moved to have the act repealed. We are glad
that his motion was rejected, for the principle of law is
excellent, if judiciously applied to Ireland ; and its ex
post facto operation, which has caused the above mischief,
is immediately to be cured by a bill of Which Sir Henry
Hatdinge has given notice, for mollifying and amending
the Suit-letting Act. This subject is indissolubly eon-
named with that of Irish poor laws, on which it will ere
long become our duty to enter.- Times.
We have inserted two letters respecting tire New Police ;
We might insert many others, the authors of whieli trust
to our 6, liberality" for their publication, without being
liberal enough to trust us with their names, for the pur-
pose of verifying their statements. We are induced, how-
ever, from hence to take occasion to correct some misap-
prehension with respect to our opinion on this institution.
We have said, and with truth, that the late was a mere
struggle between thieves and policemen, which would
drive the other out of the streets ; and in such a contest
it cannot be doubtful who ought to succeed. In general,
also, it may be taken fur granted, that whenever there is a
cry 4. Down with the Police," such cry proceeds from
characters of the worst description. But this does nut
decide the question of the constitutional nature of the
force. On the contrary, we are inclined to think that
parisbee by whom the New Nice is supported, ought to
114VO something to do with the appointment, or at least
with the dismissal, of those whom they pay. Why might
not complaints be received, and proceedings had upon them,
by parish vestries ? If misconduct be satisfactorily proved
before these tribunals, the individual guilty of it might be
returned to head.quarters, under an incapacity, at least, of
returning his former station. Perhaps, the system requires
reconsideration; but in any case, those who are the pro-
per objects of its animadversion are not to decide whether
It shall exist or no. Times.

Various reports and rumours—portentous signs—con-
tinue in active circulstion on the subject of the present
singular Ministerial crisis. Even the friends and personal
adherents of the Duke of Wellington make no secret of
their astonishment and dismay at the total luck of tact and
stratagem which has sigalizerl the opening of his pre-
sent campaign. The developement must, indeed, be nex-
traordinary, to reconcile the tactics of bin Grace with
sagacity or common sense. Ile hiss exhibited a species
of chivalry on behalf of the Boroughmongers, as un-
expected to them, as odious and astounding to the whole
country. The under-men in office—generally the most

agree that it is incomparable—were intended as a decoy for
the Ultra-Tories. Ms Grace,
by some of those political
manteuvres, well known in the theory and practice of the
Constitution, had contrived to cut off the Duke of New-
castle and the Marquis of Londonderry from their main

chases. and Falmouth, and the Commoners attached to that
ugly party. But old ldrds are nut caught with chaff; and
it is said, that inunedietely after the close of the Premier'.
Tuesday sainnight, a Noble Lord (111—d—d)
exclaimed to an Ex.Chariceltor on the Woolsack,
him, I'll bet a hundred he has a Reform liill in his
pocket ; recollect the Catholic .Rae." We will not at-
tempt to estimate the chagrin of his Ware, when his gra..

toitoris and bed-ridden fulmination against Reform w •
answered by Radical speeches from Ultra-Tories. A more
abortive nrincguvre was never planned. Some credulous
persons affirm that the liiihe of Wellington is a real
Alarmist ; and that the man whose nerves stood the
d-eaults of the barbarians of the East and the attain of
Europe, has fallen a sacrifice to the night-mare of the
Chief Magistrate of the Ott! We attribute, however, the
political obstinacy, of the Prerolel to his ignorance, and
contempt of the people of Great B:itaiti---hot to Lk fears
of them. The Duke of Wellington is not art alartfilst, he

in the modern miracle of the House of Commons reform.
ing itself without help from the people. But the war
now waging between the Boroughmongers and the people
is becoming critical. Time will reveal the result. There
will never be a " strong Administration" till the House
of Commons is restored to the people. • The contest is
one between the whale arid his harpooners. Ever and
anon the monster of the deep runs the length of his line,
but pierced by fresh strokes, he grows weaker arid weaker.
The Aristocracy cannot maintain the contest very Idrig;
if they are wise they will not attempt to perpetuate their
ascendancy. The Duke of Wellington cannot save them,
nor can they sive the Duke of Wellington. In the Houle
of Commons the solitary situation of Sir Robert Peel is
most pitiable; he is politically laustled.—liforn. Chron.
What a strange idea the Duke of Richmond and some
other Noble Lords must have of the understanding of the
people ! We noticed yesterday the attempt of his Grace
at sn)stification with regard to the compulsory increase of
I labourers' wages in Kent and Sussex. Last night his
II Grace resumed the subject:-...cc A Noble Lord opposite
(Lord Teynham) had asserted, that the farmers its the
county of Sussex were compelled to raise the rate of wages
in consequence of b,.ing subjected to intimidation from
their labourers. Now this assertion lie had felt himself
warranted in denying, at loot with respect to the county
of Sussex. It might have been so in other places, but in
Sussex generally, lie believed, it was not the case. Ile
did nut then mean to say that there were not one or two
places in which intimidation might have been used, but
in the west of Sussex, with which he was connected, no-'.
thing of the kind had been attempted."—Nothing of the
kind attempted ! The farmers in Kent and Sussex have
increased the wages of their labourers, at a tune when they
are known to be in such a state of embarrassment that
they cannot employ the usual number of hands, but they
did not do this because they were intimidated. 0 dear,
no such thing. They took the opportunity, when them-
selves limited by the idea of the work-house, to disregard
their own distress and the distress of their families, and to
consider only the distress of their labourers, who owe the
sixpence a day to the most exalted benevolence—the very
quintessence of charity. What driveling !' But let us
hear his Grace further
He was sorry to say, that no man who heard the speech of
the Noble Lord could avoid receiving the impression, that its
expressions were calculated to inflame tha minute of the people,
and aggravate the difficulties in which the farmers were placed
with respect to their labourers. He was one of thosewho thought
the agricultural labourers of title country were not adequately
paid for their services ; he was quite certain that no course could
tie adopted more prejudicial to their interests, and the interests
of their masters, than by making declsrations in that House, or
in either House, which would lead the labourers to believe that
their objects could be eltbcted by intimating their toasters. It
was because the people of Kent and Sussex were, unhappily, in
a state of excitement, that he thought nothinK should be done to
widen the breach between the labourer and the farmer • for it
could not be too often repeated, or too widely disseminated, that
the interests of the farmer, the landlord, and the labourer, were
one and the same."—(Hear, hear.')
His Grace cannot stomach the ugly word intimidation.
Perhaps the old Parliamentary expression of " acting on
tine prudence" of the farmers would have pleased him bet-
ter. If the labourers are, as his Grace says not ade-
quately paid, is this the fault of the farmers or is it not ?
If it is not the fault of the farmers, who pay as much as
they can afford, what is an increase of wages but spolia-
tion of their property ? It was well remarked by a much
more acute mats than his Grace, Edmund Burke, that a
very small advance upon what the farmer pays to his la-
bourers, when he pays all that he can atThrtl, amounts " to
an actual partition of all his substance among them. A
perfect equality will indeed be produced; that is to say,
equal want, equal wretchedness, equal beggary, and, on
the part of the petitioners, a woeful, helpless, and despe-
rate disappointment." Now if an increase extorted from
farmers struggling to keep out of the workhouse (for that
is their condition at present) amounts to spoliation, would
any man consent to spoliation except under intimidation?
But let us hear the farmers themselves on the subject.
The following account of a meeting at Rochester, which we
take from the Kent Iferald of Thursday speaks volumes:—
" Lord Clifton addressed the farmers at considerable length
upon the expediency of re-embodying the Yeomanry Cavalry, in
consequence of the disturbed state of the county. His Lerdshie
stated, that the wish of Ministers had been intimated to the Lora
Lieutenant that tide force should be revived, lie dwelt much
upon the constitutional nature of that force—the loyalty and seal
which had always distinguished the men of Kent--and hoped
that, upon the present occasion, similar feelings would be mud-
tested. - -

restedovould contribute, by &liberal abatement ()front and tithes,
towards alleviating the burdens that now pressed heavily upon the
farmers—and which, it was evident, would be considerably in-
creased by the proceedings which now agitate the county; and he
teriappUiFi tirtrafe:l
asked his Lordship whether he would sanction a reselution to the
eilect that such assistance was expedient
" To this proposition his Lordship replied, that standing there
as an individual, he must decline pledging himself to any resolu-
tion of that nature; he conceived that it was not connected with
the question of raising the Yeomanry corps. The law bad regu-
lated the proportion of .public burdens to be paid by diflbrent
putties, and IT any disproportion existed, It was a subject for the
interference of the Legislature; and that. in his opinion, it was
the duty of every liege subject to come forward In support of the
State, upon every diaturbauce, without first inquiring into the
causes, or insisting upon a remedy Mr the abuses which am.
stoned it.
" Mr. Larkin contended, that the present force, if properly
applied, was sufficient for the preservation of the peace against
open riots, and that cavalry could not guard against the midnight
incendiary. He thought that, In all probability, an event would
take place in a few days, which, by restoring the public
would obviate the neceseity fur any additional furce...namely,
the retirement of his Majesty's Ministers; and that, as it corrupt
representation was the cause of most of the evils that afflict this
country. so a reibrni In Parliament could alone remove them,
and prevent their recurrence
" Mr. Newton strongly objected to the re-establiahment of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, particularly upon the recommendation of

force at all questionable. He could but recollect, that upon the
only occasion of the employment of that force—namely, the mas-

remain as a slain upon the character of Englishmen.

could he have explained himself more clearly to any man
whose ears are of moderate dimensions, if be bad said, we
pay this additional liurtlien under the alarm produced by
the torch of the midnight incendiary ? What do the
farmers mean by alarming times y Do they mean that
they are alarming, because petitions for Reform have been
agreed to? Because the Irish are discussing the propriety
of repealing the Union? Because the philanthropists are
agitating the Abolition of Slavery ? Or, because Legiti-
maey has received a stab in France, and is about to receive 1
a still deeper stab in Belgium ? It would have been long

(he said) the labourers should know' that any attempt at

or the country et large. lie hoped, therefore, that the
opinions of Parliament on this subject would go forth to
the country, and that it would he emir ratood both in
Kent anti elsewhere that no man of either House apprioved
of such a system. Any undertsking to raise the wages
of the labourer, udder such circumstances, must fail,
because the nutmeat was much greater than the farmer,
at present, could afford to pay." So, after the &Wis.

I (for a recommendation from them amounts, in fart, to

why then was he compelled to pay it ? for he would 'not

under compulsion. Lord Darnley observed, that "the
disturbances did oat aria from an inadequate rate of
waget, hut from the ouperabundant* of labourers, and
the want of employment. Throughout that part, of
Kent, the wages of an able-bodied man were two
shilling, s"day ; and if the farmers were disposed
to give, as he understood some of them had aimed
to give, two shillings and sixpence, then, in his
opinion, the distress would be increased ; because the
farmer could not afford to employ so many labourer;
ut two shilling' and sixpence as Ito had formerly employed
at two shillings." Of course the farmer's payments moat
be limited by his ability. When the Duke of Richmond
talks of the interest of the farmer, the landlord, and the
labourer, being one shit the same, we cannot help remind-
ing him of the story of the Giant and the Dwarf, who
set out together an a warlike expedition. The farmer is

The farmers laugh at the idea of relief from Yeomanry

The proceedings in the House of Commons last night
had reference to that part of the Speech from the Thrum
which called the attention of the new Parliament to the
condition of the Civil List. Of all the propositions in
the Speech, this is the one which has hitherto received
the least share of public attention ; but this has arisen less
from any want of Interest in the subject, for it is inferior
to none at the present moment, but that, being matter of
promise only, and a pledge of the future, rather than an
evidence of the present policy of the Government, it wee
thought fair to postpone it to the day when the fulfilment
of the promise would render the question more tangible to
twiticistm That day has now arrived, and we Mittalo
much if the topic in question he not the text for as large
and as angry an amplification as any other portion of the
ltoyal Address. It will be seen whether the proposed re-
ductions merit the ostentatious display with which they
ware first ushered to the public. Pursuant to notice, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer brought the matter before
the House, He began by suggesting that the House
should 'Merely go into a Committee to-night, hear the
statement which he had to make, and • then postpone
the general discussion till Monday. The Right Hon.
Gentleman then entered into a detail of his plan,
premising , that he should confine hirmelf to one
resolution, which would be to de effect that a
sum of 070.000/. ft year should be flint as the amount
of the new Civil List. This sum wee to include not only
the provision for the Sovereign and his Royal Consort, to-
gather with the usual items of Crown expeuditure, but
also compensations to such of the servants of the late King
as were not taken into the household of his successor. He
proposed an entirely new classification of the Civil List—
a consolidation of charges which were now dispersed
through a variety of accounts, and a general simplification
which he hoped would give satisfaction. The effect of the
new arrangements, and of the reduced charges, would he
a saving this year to the public, as compared with other
years, of 161,000!. No pains had been spared by Mi-
misters, and no sacrifices refused by their Majesties, to
contrast the public burdens. The privy-pulse which
the King and Queen were now to be provided with was
exactly the same that his Majesty's father had received at
the bands of Parliament-110,000!. Other particulars
of his plan were that the salaries of the Judges should
heneefiwward be discharged out of the Cansolidatell Fund,
instead of being, as before, partly paid out of that fund,
land partly from the Civil List, and that the salaries of all
officers, Sec , included in the Civil List, should not be
subjected to deductions at heretofore, but flied at a
certain sum. A saving in the expenses of Ambessedore
of about 25,000/. a year is proposed, and in the outfit
a sum bearing a similar proportion. The Consuls
to be placed on the old footing, and a vote annu-
ally asked from Parliament for their support. Lord
Althnrp complained of the confuted mode of drawing up
the Civil List, and contended that many of the sums so
introduced did not properly belting to the expenditure of
the Monarch. Sir H. Portal followed, and contended
that a Select Committee should bit appointed to inquire
into tie subject more fully,.and that sufficient time should
be given for the investigation of all the topics embraced ih
the arrangement. Mr. Hume expressed great disappoint-
ment at the proposition of the Chancellor of Exchequer,
which he eigmatised as extravagant and complicated. He
thought that the whole Civil' iat,,when the extraneous
items were removed, ought not to exited 413,000/. Mr.
Broughtim complained that the unparliamentary revenues
arising from the Duchy of Lancaster were not given up,
though the word' 0 without reserve," ht his Majesty's
Speech, implied that all; without, exception, were to be
placed at the disposal of the Howse. Sir Robert Peel de-
fended the plan oa the ground that it wise in accordance,
as to terms, with those of George the Third and George
the Fourth, in neither of which reigns had the revenues of
the Duchy of Latiouster been included amongst those given
up by the Sovereign. Mr. Brougham said the words
" without reserve" were not in the former Speeches. Sir
Robert Peel old it had been explained on the first , night
of the seetion that "hereditary revenues" did nut Mean rtovo-
- of the Duchy of Lancaster and Cornwall. The Attorneys
General could never suppose that any person could have
otherwise undenitood the terms. After a few observations
from Lord Palmerston, the resolntion was agreed 5,t. The re-
malodor of the husiresua was of a miscellaneous kind. A stun
of 3,2,50,8821. was voted, to make good the supply
granted in the lad Session of Parliament. Sir Henry
II trilinge obtained leave to introduce Bills for amending
the Irish Sub-letting /tot, and for taking a census of the
populltion, to he constructed on the principle of that of
ISM That return gave a total of 6,n01,827 souls, ex-
hibiting a three-fold increase of the population of Ireland
within the preceding ninety year.. Ireland might, he
stated, be considered as now doubling its population in
every forty-five years to come. Mr. P. Thompson gave
notice of his intention to repeat, after Christmas, a motion
which he had made last year, for a reduction of the ditty
upon newspapers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
answer to a *petition by Mr, C. Grant, deelined saying
whether Government had any intention of remitting the
duty upon sea-borne coals. Sir M. W. Ridley pressed
upon the Right Hon. Gentle Man the propriety of repeal-
ing all those taxes which pressed upon the poor—thoue
upon eta-borne coals, soap, candles, and the house end
win 'ow taxes. Sir John Wrottealey thought that any
mutinies of the duty on coals, under the present Monopoly
of the coal-owners, would only put money in the pockets
elthe latter. He instanced the repeal of the leather tax
Mr. Bell repelled the insinuation of monopoly amongst the
coal-ownera. Sir Robert Wilson would prefer a Property
Tax to the duties upon coals and winch Sir Robert
