EVENING EDITION.

This is my understanding of my Noble Friend's expi
nation—( Hear, hear)—therefore it was not corgi
r.:ect
his
misrepresent him as adopting expressions put lido hi
mouth—" that the Irish Church Establishment 'was
a,
stain and a disgrace to that country." My Noble
ot hod
meant its present overgrown dimensions, and no her.
He has given the best evidence that he himself, acting
in his own capacity, confronting the outclying clamour
that has been raised, has rendered implicit obedience
to the laws. Therefore, my Lords, I hold this expla-
nation' importance
to be of great impoance ; for it now appears'
from my Noble Friend's own declaration, that whdever
has represented him as an enemy to the Church Jll9
grossly and foully misrepresented him—that whoever
expects from him overt acts of hostility to that Est:i
blisbment will be utterly and entirely disappoint
—that whoever may dream of seeing him attempt'
ing to do that indirectly, which he dares publielY
not avow—that whoever, as the Noble puke
well, and justly, and accurately observed, shall expect
from my Noble Friend, the new Lord Lieutenant 0
Ireland, an indirect and silent countenance of the
scheming of some parties against the Church Establish-
ment, or the Constitution of these realms, will fill
they have to do w;th a man who is by far too honest and
plain dealing for their sinister purposes.—(Cheers)
That whoever hopes to find in him a ready tool for their
own private ends, will find their hands deprived of the
instrument which they had smilingly opened to grasp.'
(Laughter and cheers.) That whoever looks to biln
for allowing all the measures to be introduced, la the
language to be suited to their palate, and all the patroosgiei
to flow into their particular channels, will be instantly,
immediately, and bitterly disappointed. My Noble Frieaut
has told them, quoting the words of one of his weas„
illustrious predecessors, whom to name is at, once ';
pr.:ise—l mean the Marquis of Wellesley-- 03
whatever his opinions may be of the form and structure°
of the law, he goes to administer that law and not ta,
change it"—( Hear, hear)—by which is meant, t° a e
minister the law, and see that that law is carried int.
execution—to see that crime is sought out, and oil°
nals found out, and trials had and convictions take,
place, and the sentence executed—(Loud cheers)-'1:
order to deter evil doers the like behalf of offendie4
in future, and to make those laws, if they cannot vs
amended and improved, at least obeyed. So long 60(
my Noble Friend pursues that honest manly r'ourgeD.
strict duty, he will entitle himself to the o'd
dente of the country—to the forbearance ca'r'p
iter
his adversaries, and to that which is
than the one or the other,. to the approval of his
tb
honest conscience.—(Cheers.) If he takes ane
course—( Hear, hear)—if he submits to dictation frvi,
any quarter—( Hear, hear)—if he suffers any rota
tell him," I have 6,000,000 of men at my back, u"'"1
N
between their plaudits or their hatred"—(Cheers)
he does not honestly make his election, and preferttbe
hatred of all the lawless, and against the law bas
comes back from what lie has to-night laid down a° pf
principle of action—if, instead of an administratioaLe
the laws, he makes himself only the executor of the
wishes and designs of certain parties—then all that b,"
been done by my Noble and Learned Frierid's notice,
all that has been done by the Noble Duke's ober:
lions, all that has been done and all that has been,rei;;
porarily and provisionally accomplished by my I'4°d.
Friend's explanation, and by his avowed and declur,
intention, will all redound to his shame and dise,
to the discomfiture of those who have appointed h!,,',;
instead of conducing to his own glory and the 1011;4
lignefit or advantage of the country.—(Cheers.) ' oof
then men will say, "you sent over a firebrand aud
combustible materials ;" and men will say even his gore
qualities are noxious if used as a firebrand among t'',l
materials ; and then I shall have the sorrow to 110;
and the country will have the sorrow to feel, that t"0,41
great qualities which have long experienced that ger
character to which the other night I bore my feeble to
timony—that long experience of public affairs--Ae
descent and lineage, and the name he bears, from on
the greatest Judges that ever sat on the bench in '.!)
land, will all vanish, will all go against him, will u, " jet
concerted into materials of which torches and firebrlin
are made—his race arid name will go for nothing---

" Quamvis pontica pinus,
_ Sylvm filia nobilis,

Jactes et genus, ct nomen inutile." tfra
—(Cheers.) My Lords, I know which of thee be
parts my Noble Friend will choose, if he acts UP 1° the
declaration which he has this night made. The enealibis
of the Constitution, his own worst enemies—for Jo ir
instance, the praise which has been lavished on hiale
posed speech, which he turns out never to have Ina"

Pessimum inimicorum
Genus laudatores— tbe
will find that those who wish so to employ him, ere tor
most pernicious of his enemies, as they are the worsti)ol
mies of the State. My Noble Friend will, however' bit
the balance even between the conflicting parties, Idle
Noble predecessors, the Marquis of 'elleslel:_ftg
Marquis of Anglesey, have formerly done ranuT;iand
Noble Friend, who has just returned frog' "'" yoo
(so far as circumstances allowed him, to hold itt,e '
between both parties) has done.—(Cheers and laugeelo
Lord WH ARNL IFFE begged his Noble Friend ble
to suppose for one moment, that he or his ;Id
Friends found fault with him for the speech whiePto
been alluded to, that speech was not discreditable OE
him—he had a perfect right to make it as a IVleether
Parliament, but in their opinion there was sogif-iill
which ought to have prevented the Government
appointing him to the office of Lord Lieutenant of lire:
land. He found fault with the Government for rev;
ing the appointment in the particular circOmstaal it
his Noble Friend was then only a Commoner, °d
was usual that the office should be filled by a Peer, (01
he was raised to the dignity of a seat in that ibutsdir
the purpose of the office. They might attempt ; big
guise it as they liked, but it was impossible thli"ty
Noble Friend could go to Ireland, without filling the
Protestants with fear and alarm, and raising hopes,ina io
breasts of the Catholics. Were they not justifle eel
taking that view of the conduct of Goverat° of
and view with jealousy the appointmeeti.terl
his Noble Friend? That was not an isc",so,
case.—( Hear, hear.) In October last a Nohltbl,
then holding a situation in her Majesty's Hoosept
within two months after her Majesty expressed a, ty
that the Tithe Bill would work for the benefit of ty
country, signed a requisition calling a meeting fqrsa4
total abolition of tithes—he attended that meeting ty
supported its object, and yet he belonged t°, tot
Household still. (Hear, hear.) That alone; 01
sufficient to make them jealous of the conduct' (7
Government in any appointment connected With
the
land. Such facts gave rise to much jealousy as °fro'
policy and intentions of the Government. The AO'
testants of Ireland would naturally view the aPPor
ment of his Noble Friend with much alarm, in abed
quence of the speech, which there was no doubt be
a perfect right to make.
The Bishop of LONDON moved the second ' 50,
ing:of a Bill to repeal a Clause in the Act of last fie
sion for suspending Eccle.siastical appointments.• er
was in this case only the orgat: of those eminent lot
clesiastical law, who said much inconvenience vig' of
result of it. He did not deem it necessary t°' ote
more upon the question, as the Bill bad no other
ject.—Read a second time.
The House then adjourned.
