POOR, LAWS.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to knOw from the No-
ble Viscount at the b cad of his Majesty's Government, whe-
ther it was the int9r,tion of his Majesty's Government to p!o-
-pose any Bill for amendment of the Poor Laws. As the
Bill at prese,. ent existed, there Were several parts highly ob-
jectionabl
Lord MELBOURNE, as we understood, said that the
subject tva.s under the consideration of his Majesty's Govern-
ment.
Thy, Exchequer and the Surplus Fon(ls Bill were
read a, second time and ordi..recl to be committal. Tha other
Bills.ein the table were forwarded a stage.
ORANGE LODGES.
'The Earl of WINCH' E A said, that in consequence o!
e' stain resolutions rroposed and adopted by the Lower Roust,
of Parliament, be rose for the purpose of taking the liberty 01
rutting one or two questions to the Noble Viscount at the head
of his Majesty's Government, for the purpose of clearly ascer-
taining to what extent those resolutions should extend.
He wished clearly to satisfy his own mind upon the subject,
in order that he might be prepared to offer such advice to the
Orange societies as might he desirable under the circumstances
of the Case. He wished to know from the Noble Viscount at the
head, of the Government, what was the extent of the resole_
iris, and how far it was intended to act upon them ? Was it in-
oded solely to apply to Orange Societies as they at present
fai/ited connected together by oaths and secret signs, or whether
The Duke of CUMBERLAND, there are no oaths.
The Earl of WINCH ELSEA. in continuation, or whether
at was intended fur the suppression of societies formed for the
maintenance of a Protestant religion in these countries, and
upon the principles which placed his present Majesty upon
the throne of these realm& He could not help thinking that the
existance of allassociations using secret signs,and bound
together
bnsecret oaths was to he lamented, but it was a matter for consi-
aeration, whetltv, under the extraordinary circumstances of
the case, an exception might not be made in favour of the
Orange institutions. He was no advocate for secret signs and
oaths. He believed his hole life showed that he would be the
last man to join the association which had notfor its object the
preservation of the institutions of the country. He had been.
but a short time in Ireland, and he went there without the in-
tention of becoming an Orangeman. He was free to confess he

was not long in Ireland until he became a member of the institu-
tion, and he was determined to declase Ills readiness. to make cern-
.non cause with the Pro.-
, sn.
tide of revoluties -i.e. tat
,ita that country In resisting the
tvgraten the Course that had been pursued
as regar,edLb Otange Lodges. He Weald not admit that
t'l.ay were an illegal body ; but it seemed strange that the
concurrence of the three branches of the legislature was not
asked to the passing of such rerolationls, anti he though! it
tended to break down the constittitiOn and to inipair the liberty
of the subject. He should 'shape his "Conalttct i4eordinitf to the
terms of the answer he expected thd Noble Viscount
opposite, and if on reflection lid Considered these secietl.,
il-
legal, he would give
his hest advice to his 'orothers to discon-
li
tinue their pr_oceed:,ngs. He believed that the principles of
the Orangeociety
were those of protection to the best in-
terests of the
..State, and they were those which had been pro-
fessed by the-Noble Lords who had endangered their titles and
' their lives, and were foremost in bringing over the very family
vlio now reigned in that country. He wished to know what course
ass intended to be adopted with respect to these societies—
whatever it might be, he was determined not to renounce his
principles. He believed that gross calumnies had been circu-
lated and believed relative to Orange societies s but he feared
that if they were put down, if the principles of the Orange so-
ty were laid aside, it would lead to the dismemberment of the
empire. Had not one individuals who had a fearful and most
unfortunate influence in that nseuntry, declared that he never
would be satisfied until he had effected the separation between
the two countrkes. The Government had said that there was
protection I.:or every individual in the sister country, but he
(the Eas'i of Winchilsea) would read a letter which had been
just '-eut into his hands, showing the fearful state in which the
protestant clergy were placed in that country. The Noble
Lord then read the letter, omitting the names. One indivi-
dual had a most miraculous escape from being assassinated,
tent had been again denounced by the priest. Another was
,bliged to have a guard of police in his House, and his life was
threatened whilst walking in his lawn. In another instance
there was a great assemblage of the peasantry, who were pre-
vented from doing mischief only by the'presence of four con=
panics of infantry, and two of cavalry. And a respectable
curate had been struck with a stone on the head, and that at-
tack could not have prooceded from the tythe system, as he
was not the owner of any. He (the Earl of Winchilsea) could
bring hundreds of similar instances of the tea, ful state in which
the Protestan; Clergy were placed, but he trusted that he had
said enough to satisfy their Lordships as to the frightful posi-
tion in which they were placed. He implored the Government
to come forward and support the supremacy of the law. He
did not mean in his observations upon the Catholics of
Ireland to include the Roman Catholics of England. He
should not intrude further upon theirr Lordships' tittle upon
that point ; but there wai another subject on Which it was ne-
cetsary for him to make a few observations. He was sorry to
say, that the Representative of the Crown bad not acted
wisely, he might almost say unconstitutionally, in removing
from office individuals because they were Orangemen.._
(Hear, hear, hear.) He alluded to the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, and it appeared from a statement put into his hands,
and to which he wished to call the attention of Noble Lords,
that an individual had been in the usual way appointed Sheriff
of the county of Waterford—that be bad received the writ
from the Secretary for Ireland ou the 4th of December, an-
nouncing his appointment, arid on the 13th of February,
when he was about to incur thg expenses of his uniform and
other matters he was informed that he was not to fill the office,
The gentleman in question immediately wrote to the Secretary
of State on the subject. The Noble Lord read the torte-
spoidence which took place between Me. Lee and the Irish
Government. The fact was that Mr. Lee never Wits ah
Orangeman, yet he was set aside upon that ground.—
( Hear.) If the Government had come to the resolution
that no Protestant a'aould fill any Ace in Ireland ; in God's
name let it be ';owed, but do trot insult gentlemen in such a
manner as :dr. Lee heal been. He didbbelong to those so-
cieties, and he gloried in it, for he believed they would prove
the *salvation of Protestantism ; he did belong to them, and if
A cost hint his title or his life he would support them to the last.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND said after seeing the Ad-
dress, and his Majesty's most gracious answer to it, he and
those who acted with him bad felt that no time was to be lost
in recommending to the Orange Societies of Ireland to dis-
solve. He would not say more than that there were no oaths
required by the institution, and though the Societies were
abolished, he would still continue firm to their principles.
Lord MELBOURNE had heard tne declaration of the
Noble Duke with much pleasure, and it was what he expected
from one occupying his station He and the Government were
glad that such a course had been pursued, for they were most
anxious that they should not be called upon to take any strong
measures in order to carry the resolution into effect. In
answer to the Noble Earl who had put the question to him
—however he might give that Noble Earl credit for sincerity
he could not do for prudence. Neither his title nor his life
were in danger; and he would find that Protestantism would
be much more safe, and stronger, without the aid of
such Societies as these.—(Hear.) He was not prepared
to enter into the case alluded to by the Noble Earl ; but
there was no doubt Mr. Lee had been set aside from the
Shricvalty of Wexford upon the principle which the
Government of Ireland had acted upon, of not appointing to
any office, but particularly to one connected with the adminis-
tration of justice, one who was connected with secret societies.
The Earl of WINC HI L SEA said Mr. Lee never did be-
long to any Orange or other society. He had refused to sign a
requisition, calling upon the Sheriff to call a county meet-
ing to address the Lord Lieutenant, and that was the
reason given for his being used ha the manner he had described.
With respect to what had fallen from the Noble Viscount
he must be allowed to say that he should act according
to his own judsgment—( Hear, hear, from the Ministerial
benehes)--ns to what course he should pursue from
the bet*. interests7of his country. He was not ambitious, and
b;:s only desire was fo protect his church. He hoped the
advice offered by his Royal Highness would be followed,
although it was notorious that there were schemes formed for
the purpose of subverting the Protestant Church.:
The Marquis of LONONDERRY should not have trou-
bled their Lordships but for what had fallen from the
Noble Viscount.—( Hear.) The whole of the proceedings
of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland since he had been there
had been solely and exclusively directed to uphold the
Catholic party against the Protestant party. He said that
advisedly. If the Noble Viscount would act upon his declara-
tion, that there should be a fair and honest upholding of
Protestant as well as Catholic interests, he should have his
cordial support upon every measure he might bring forward
for such an object. But the fact was, and no one con-
nected with Ireland could deny it, that there was one universal
degradation to which the Protestants of Ireland were at pre-
sent subjected, and unless the style in which the Govern-
ment of Ireland had lately been conducted was changed,
the most fatal consequences would result.—(Hear, hear.)
He could not but lament the name of that Noble individual,
whom privately he must ever respect, should be con-
nected with one of the most monstrous, he had almost said
one of the most unjustifiaale acts that had ever been done in
Ireland, who had held the situation of the individual.
That that individual should entertain a person who
had been making speeches so monstrous—those speeches
reviling at royalty on one side, and treating their Lorzi -
ship's House with derision on the other—(hear, hear)—
that he should have treated that person as a guest
at-his table, and that that circumstance should have been
passed over by the first minister of the Crown,
without having called it to their Lordships' attention, and
without having recslled that Lord Lieutenant, and that Ireland
should have been witness to such a degradation and such highly
reprehensible conduct was, he must say, most monstrous.
Not a single Conservative gentleman of the Province of Ul-
ster attended the banquet 'given to the Lord Lieutenant—
( Hear.) But what had happened six weeks after ? There
was a Protestant Conservative meeting in Belfast, and no less
than 800 Protestant Conservatives attended it, not one of whom
would go near the Lord Liutenant. At one table there was a
rental of not less than 400,0001. of landed property assem-
bled to promulgate opinions in opposition to those of his
Majesty's Government. This was a proof against the
Noble Viscount's Lord Lieutenant, or rather against the Lieu-
tenant of the lion. and Learned Member for Dublin. These
facts were not to be controverted. He charged that Noble
Lord with misconduct, and oe defied the Noble Viscount
opposite to defend him.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") As
long as he knew the present system pursued in Ireland—as long
as he 'saw a power behind the Noble Viscount stronger than
ti-e Noble Viscount himself, so long would he treat the Noble
Viscount's words as wind—giving them no confidence, and
having no faith in him, but when he saw a change in the con-
duct Of the Noble Viscount, he would then be prepared to do
him justice. _ _

- -
The Noble Marquis sat down, and no other Noble Lord
rising to reply, the House adjourned.
