RIOTS IN IRELAND.

Mr. O'CONNELL moved fur; return of the number
of persons killed and wounded in I►elaud in the rains
contests with the police.

Mr. DOIIERTY said it waa imposeilde that any such
return could be made. The number of killed might be
made; but there were no means of asorrtaining the num-
ber of wounded.

Mr. O'CONNELL expressed his surprise to find that
the live* of the people were of u► little value in Ireland
that the Government could'-give no satisfactory account of
the results of the contests in which they were lost.
Sir If. lIARDINGE said, that the number of killed in
these affray*, between the constabulary force armed on one
side, and the people alto armed on the other, were known
by the return of the Coroner, who inquired into the cause
of death ; but it must be obvioui to any man that no ac-
count could be taken oldie number of wounded. Ile begged
at the came time to express his Opinion that the consta-
bulary force was moat efficient us a body, and he believed,
most sincerely, that to their good conduct and meritorious
exertions the preservation of the peace of Ireland was
mainly to be attributed, )

The return was then ordered, to such an extent a i
cold be ►nade.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS (IRELAND).
Mr.O'CONNELL presented a petition from the debtors
and uneertificated haat opts confined in the Marsha!sea,
Dublin, complaining of the law affecting insolvent debtors.
Mr. lIVAIE expressed his surprise that no amendment
had taken place in these laws. Ile did not indeed see why
the law of England and of Ireland should not be the same
on the subject of imprisonment for debt.
Mr. DOHERTY s,id, that the Acts connected with
the law as it stood in England, required attentive exami-
nation before any assimilation of the Insolvent Debtors'
Law could be effected, but the subject was under conside-
ration, and the result would be, as soon as possible, sub.
!flitted to the House.
PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Mr. O'CONNELL preseute+l a petition from Cocker-
mouth, praying for reform, and declaring that annual
Parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by ballot were
necessary for the salvation of the country. The pt,
titioners also said, and he (3lr. O'Connell) thought their
words prophetic, that vengeance would speedily fall on the
heads of those who lent themselves to the oppression of

the people. The Government was as imbecile as it was
mischievous, for it had put into the mouth of one of the
most popular Sovereigns who had ever sat on the Throne,
a Speech which could have no other effect than to maktt
him disliked by his subjects. What else, however, could
they expect when Oero was insanity at the helm ? Re
said insanity, and he was justified iu saying it. because the
Premier, but one year Udine his elevation, declared that
he would ha tutu if he thought himself capable of filling
the situation of Prime Minister of the country. He since
accepted that situation, and, therefore, he (Mr. O'Con-
nell) felt he was at liberty to call him insane.
Mr. BEAUMONT, although one of the most ardent
friends of liberty, felt himself called on to protest against the
sentiments of the Hun. Member for Waterford, and to de-
precate the use of expressions which he considered abo-
minable, and language which he must charactaise as most
offensive. As one of those who had always proved them-
selves the friend* of liberty both in and out of that House,
he deprecated the use of such language; tint hoped the

Hnn. Member would refiain from using it in future.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, that if hi* Majeity's
tent were thought to he unworthy of the confidence of the
Ham and the country, it war in the power of the Mem-
helm to express that opinion and effect their removal; but
he thought that it would be derogatory to the charater of
Parliament to take any notice of Panguage such as that
now addreased to them.

After I few wards from Mr. O'CONNELL, in justifi
cation of the exprra,ion be had
Mr. BEAUMONT repeated his hope that the lion.
Member wou'd, fiir the future, preserve a greater temper-
ance of language, although he might feel as strongly as he

CROKER was much surprised that the Hon.
Member for 'Waterford, if he felt so strongly averse to the
language of the Speech from the Throne, slid got record
that feeling more effectually by taking the sew of the
Rouse on the subject when that Speech was under ill c""
sitleution the other night, and when he had the oppor-
tunity of aseertainiug the feelings of the Members in one
of the most numerous assemblies ever congregateti on such
an occasion. lie protested al,ttinst a declaration such as
they had beard front the How Member, AO immediately
after be had given his assent to an Address in reply to the
Speech which he had so heavily condemned. tie did not,
however, pram so moult against the language of the
Hon. Member, nor was he disposed to teed him a friendly
teetute, like the Member for Northumberland (Mr..Betu.
mont) ; but he protested against such attacks -being di-
rected against the Members of his M tjeaty'e Government,
at a moment when there was put one of the persona
attacked in the Houle t ► reply to them.
