LATE LORD CIIANCELLOR OF IRELANI).
Mr. IIIiSKiSSQN regretted that the Noble

bad last night 'addressed a question respecting the

Chatteellor, on Ins retiring* front Otliee',"of the usual

Gentleman agiiit acee:A a situation of trttst.or onto,

this was owing to a mistake in the grant on thk side
pf ili watei, and that in tl4o,varratit issued from

certain the truth of the Hon. Gentleman's assertion;
Mr.fonsoulay,could not inform him whether or not
the grant contained the clause alluded to; but he
assured him that he had never the slightest idea Or'
intention whatever of accepting the pension, with-
out the usual conditions; and he had 'Since then
written to Lord Hawkesbury, . stating, that should
the Clause adually have been omitted in the Grant,
he was ready to surrender it fOr the purpose .of
insertion. He (Lord Howick) confidently appealed
to the Gentlemen of Ireland, and more partiOular-
ly to the Gentlemen of the Irish Ear; whether
there had ever been a. Chancellor who had dis:-
charged the important duties of his. high oilice
with greater ability,' diligence, and advantage W. the
public. When he first succeeded to the otliee,! the
Chancery Court of ,llublin was, in arrears for six
years of Notices, for OW' Motions, and for :427t,
Causes; when he quitted office, he had got under
all the Notices and Motionsi.and had brought down
the Causes to 200, :besides. goiAg•ibrough. with the
current business. Had ht.t rentaincd in office a few
'months longer, riot a single Cause would have been
left Undetermined. He wished:that the Hun. Goe,.-,
tleman opposite would, in future, be more cautious
in .preferring his accusation t ; it would have been
more candid, had he carefully inquired into • this
subje& before he brought it forward for t 46 consi,
deration of the House of Commons. ,

BusxissoN repeated. his ..forther .statement..
The Clause had certainly been omitted in the gr4nt..
on this side the waier, and ha vas therefOteibStified
in imagining that it' might 'lino heed omitted iti
Ireland, nod that it was intended to Le an: Ile now,
however, disclaimed any supposition of thattature,.

successor in office, for enabling Half,pay,
the Widows.of °dicers, and,those on the Compas-
sionate List, to receive the Stipends at their awn
Residence,' enquired when the Right Hon, Gentle-
man meant to propose this measure. •
The SECRETARY AT WAR replied, that the pre-
paration of the Bill was in great forwardness, .and
that it had been delayed only on account of some
necessary communication with'the Navy Pay Office,

Mr: finding that it was understood
by several Gentlemen, that he had postponed his
motion orythe State-Of the. Nation- from -Monday tri
some future day, rose to'state;lhat it was certainly
his intention to bring it forward on Monday. -
