" AN IRISH GENTLEMAN."

Mr. HENNESSY asked for information relative to the
law in Ireland in consequence of a most extraordinary
statement which appeared m the newspapers this morning.
This statement was to the effect that on Monday. last a
man named Patrick Doyle was convicted at the assizes at
Kilkenny of vagrancy and sentenced, in the absence of
bail, to some years penal servitude. That convictionstoo

On the motion of going into committee of supply,

Mr. A. MILLS caned the attention of the house to the
state of affairs in New Zealand, and moved an address to
the Crown on the subject of the war in that colony, but
said that in consequence of an alteration in the policy of
Government towards the colony, he would not press his
motion. However, he condemned in strong terms the con-
duct pursued towards New Zealand by this country.
Mr. ROEBUCK denounced the cry that had been got up
on this subject as one of the shams which should be ex-
posed. He contended that in prosecuting conquest and
colonization this country had
extended

savage and vindictive race, as a proof of his assertion, and
the advantages effected by the dominion of a civilised
nation.
Mr. BAXTER, at some length, denounced the policy of
