The Morning Herald makes the toilewieg observations
nn some of the principal see Akers who distinguished them-
selves last night in the Haute of Commons Mr. T
Duncombe resumed the debate last night in a speech es-
,entially heavy and poiatless, set full of pretension mid
swagger. Sir C. Style followed io a lumbering h4rangue,
and was succeedeu by Sr G. Sinclair in a speech oe
exceeding liveliness, hater, and ffeetive withal. Mr.
Ingiviu, who styles himself a Conservative, delwered a
sneaking speech in favour of Lord John Russell's
motion Mr. Leader poured out on :Ministers one of
the bitterest attacks to which even they, girded as they
are of all men, have recently been subj- cued. Mr. Shiel's
speech was extra-elaborately Sheilish in other words, a
laboriously bad specimen of the worst school of oratory that
ever offended good taste. The afflatus tinder which he affects
to labour, is no true outpouring el tne s.pirit of eloquence. Ail
is false, meretricious, affected. The earnestness is feigned,
the pathos is maudlin. Mr. Shell dresses his thoughts in
tinsel phraseology. There is no lack of spangles. There
is a profuse display of paste, and of mosaic gold. Lord
Stanley reviewed the whole question before the House in
a speech of consummate ability. Mr. O'Connell haran-
gued for nearly two hours, yet during the whole of that
periori, not one syllable did he utter, bearing in any very
distinct or direct way upon the queinirat before the House."
The Morning Advertiser contains the following obser.
vations suggested by Sir James Graham's speech in the
House of Commons on Thursda,y night :—" Sir Jane's
Graham professes a great respect fur the Irish Ct.urch,
and no doubt aqaches great weight to the opinions of its
pastors. Pending the inquiry in the Lords. for %inch l e
is so anxious, we will favour him with an extract from a
speech of the R"v. Marcus Beresford, ats affording some
clue to causes which render the Irish peasant so savage
and so desperate. The Rev. Marcus Beresford, in speak
ing of toe Irish poor, says, " We will get rid of the bloods
Popish rebels from among Its; we will stock our lands with
honest Protestants. I would rather eat a potatoe aryl t
among Protestants, live a king amt nit Papists?" We
agree with Sir James Graham, that a Government could
not list long which acted on exclusive princip!es; but he
little knows the Irish party he has joined, if he believes that
they would allow him or Sir Rober, Peel to conduct the
Government of Ireland on the basis of impartial jus ice,
and a fair and equal distribution of patronage."
The Titnes contains a lengthened summary of last
night's debate in the House of Commons, in the course of
which, speaking of the majority in favour of Ministers,
our Contempotaiy calls it, "the paltry majority of twenty,
