HOUSE OF PEERS.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10.

The Bilis,before the House, chiefly private, and those
for the most part Naturalization Bills, were forwarded in
their reSpective stages.
An °Meer from the Con mLsioners of Excise presented
several Accounts from that Department.
lq answer to a question from the Earl of SorTOLK, re-
specting the period of bringing forward his proposed 1110-
tODk _ . _

The Eirl of D/IRNLEY observed, that if the Nolile
Earl had been present when he stated I.is reasons for with-
drawing the Motion for summoning the Roux upon that
subject, or attended to what he then said, he would not
feel it necessary to call upon him now; the same reasons
which induced him to withdraw the Motion still operated
with him, to forbear renewing the notice for bringing it
on, namely, the existing state of affairs ; the moment
that it could be done, consistent with decency and pro-
priety, he meant to bring on the discussion. This, his
Lordship seemed to say, would not, in his mind, obtain,
until some communication should be made to Parliament
on the subject he obviously alluded to. When it should,
he certainly felt bound, on these public grounds and prin-
ciples he had repeatedly adverted to, to come forward and
urge the discussion. And, the Noble Earl and the House
may be confident, he repeated, that as soon as he felt he
could with decency. and pmpriety come forward, he should
certainly, lose no time in doing so. • -
Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow, when,
at half past thrm o'clock, the. Loin CHANCELLOR comes
down to the House.
PRIVATg COssietti*sts. —The Lords' Committees
meet precisely at one o'clock, for the investigation of the
Duke of Noit totk's Estate, andthe Aberdeenshire Canal
Bills. .

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10.

Mr. TRENCH moved for a Month's Leave of
Absence to- Mr. MARCUS SOMERV IL LE, to at-
tend the Assizies for the County •of Cavan.
-41r.'SitElaP .IN said he did not rise for the
purpose of making any 'specific °Nation to the
Motion as it related to' the Hon. Gentleman, but
rather for the purpose Of protesting 'against the
principle; which in several instances had been
made the foundation of" Motions similar to this,
that an attendance at the County Assizes must
be regarded, whilst the attendance of Mem-
bers of Parliament, and notwithstanding a Call
of the House, was to by dispensed with.
Mrt TRENCH replied, that the attendance of
Members of Parliament upon the Assizes in Ire-
land, was of more importance than that of an
attendance upon the Assizes in this Country; for
that .a great deal of Public. Money was disposed
of at the Public Assizes of Ireland, which made
the attendance of Members of Parliament there
more, requisite.
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he niust observe, that
there were also some lenall sums of Public Money
vet.,-.d away ii that Hnn e, whiCh he apprehended
ought to render the attendance of its Members in
their places equally necessary.
HENRY lIIILDMAY, (in•a low tone of
voice, which was very indistinaly heard in the
Gallery) made some general observations in
favour of his intended Motion, to allow the
Clergy to grant Leases of their Tythes, for
certain period. He said, a measure of this na-
ture would have a beneficial tendency, and con-
tribute most efredually to the wealth and pro-
sperity of the Country. From all the experience
and information he had obtained, he believed,
such a measure would be proper and beneficial.
He then moved, " That leave be given to bring
in a Bill to enable the Clergy to let Leases of
their Tythes for a limited period, under certain
rentriftions."—Agreed to.
Mr. RYDER moved the Order of the Day for a
Committee of the !louse to consider the third
appointed to consider
IterOtt of the ClOmmittee.
of the present High Price of Provisions.
Mr. RYDER said, that the Committee above
stairs was of opinion that it was adviseable to
grant bounties upon the importation of grain into
Ireland, as had been done upon the importation
into England ; but as it had been found that the
price of wheat was not so high in Ireland as in
England, , and that both Countries could not be
On the same footing, the encourage.
put exaaly
mint proposed by the Committee was only to
grant an indemnification from loss to the impor.,
ters, to a certain amount; in cast the price of
grain should fall below a certain extent; It had
hitherto been a discouragement to the convey-
ance of Corn into Ireland, that the importers had
not the same security against loss as was the case
in this Country: Such an encouragement was
now bteome the more necessary, as it was under-
stood that there bad been lately a great deficien-
cy of potatoes in. Ireland; Mr. RYDER then
moved a Claw; " That it was expedient to grant
bounties on the importation of corn into Ireland,
similar to those paid on the importation of corn
into England, subjed to such regulations as may
be applicable to the circumstances of that Coun-
try."

Sir y. PA/ULU said; it appeared from the
statement of the Committee, that a much greater
scarcity prevailed in Ireland than in England ;
but on this topic he shoal hot dwelli as he thought
it tended rather to increase* than to diminish the
scarcity to have much said on the subjet.
,He
wished only to say at present; that it ivas his
-intention, after the Report :was brought up, to
propose a Measure which appeared to him more
et caciOus than the present one, as a remedy for
the famine now prevailing, The Measure now
proposed cOuld only satisfy the feelings of. the
People of Ireland, in so rfar as it put them on the
sarne footing with this Country; hutlit would
not yield an effeetual remedy to the evil, be-
cause the price and scarcity of Corn were still
greater in Ireland than in this-Country.
The Clause being agreed to, the House was
