ant, it coohi n't cast censure nn the. great body of 'Magis-
trates_ in Ireland. The Hon. and' Learned Gentleman had
stated the law in contemplation to he worse than it really is.
The flonso•was told that an individual for being absent front
his twine might be sent to Botany Bay,; it would bring an
individual before a Magistrate, and if he did not account f.,r
his absence, he was to be transported. The inference could
not be fairly drawn, that every man ahsent from his hiime
was to be trans:,nrted. If the Magist tzttes of Ireland were as

corrupt as described, they could nut commit the acts of op-
pression the Houourable and Learned Gentleman had stated.
The law required a Sergeant and a King's Counsel, alsu
some others of !real character, to watch the conduct of
Magistrates, and unless the Magistrates and Lawyets were
all corrupt, injustice could not he done. There .was also
an appeal to the Lord Lieutenant. The Noble Lord
expressed a hope that Ireland would never require the opera-
tion of -such a law for a long period ; hut when rebellion
stalked abroad. ant men were nut safe by their fire side,. he
for one wm.sld not be deterred from bringing in a Bill fur the
protection. of the peaceable citizen, by the bugheats of the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman, nor by the dictatorship he
might set up.- The midnight assassin'and robber must be
kept from
.1 he abode ut peace and industry. If there was
any one provision in our laws that most touched his hi art,
it was titect to repeal the Habeas Corpus, but it was ne-
cessary, anti must be passed. It was not intended to ap-
ply to til4% unfortunate men with arms in their hands
upon .the ihmlls, but to secure emigrant disturbers in
ostler. ptits.:of . the country. • Lord Wellesley had called
'upon Parliament for measures in which be c6old
strew kindness to the people of Ireland. His views
were taken for the peace and welfare of Ireland. They
slight have been pres.ented to the House, but it would not
been tth present theni in a naked state. As a Minister
cf.the Crown,im his plate in Parliament, thcNoble Marquess
tieciared he had taken no steps upon his own responsibility,
istst t he; desire arc request ot the.persou at the head of the
Governmeut. He had to repeat the wish of the Noble
Marquess that the House would enable him. to to his duty to
th Country by giving him power, to protect time 'people. If any
Gentleman wished to make the Noble Marquess dictator, he
wv::ld give hint praise, but not as the Honourable and Learn-
el
Uttitirmau gave it. Lord Wellesley was only desirous to
preserve.public liberty by the exercise of power. He felt it
was his„duly to tranquillize time cunntry,and at the same time
couvince, the disturbers that they mast submit to the laws.
The Honse,would do well to pass these Bills this night, and
it might be right to state there was no material alteration
from wliat w!.s passed r,u a former occasion. There was one
new clause which he should state in the Committer. It was
make every individual the object of the Act who stay send
threatening letter; to proem e arms or money. The Noble
Lord had.also the satisfaction of saying these Bills had nut
only been-prepared by the Government of Ireland, but revised
by.the Attorney General for Ireland.
Mr. BROUGHAM begged to say one word in explanation.
The Noble Lord bad intimated, partly, be presumed, as se-
riously speaking, and partly. in his jocular way, that he (Mr.
Brougham) had spoken as if desirous of conferring on the
present Lord Lieutenant dietattirial poiver. He never wished
to give such 31 power to any man ;, but what he said was this—
that whets it was proposed to give up to local Magistrates
these large and extraordinary powers, under such acts as
these, lie (Mr. Brougham) would rather confer them upon
an experienced and respected officer like Lord Wellesley,
without them. _

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY understood, then, that
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would rather desire that
Lord Wellesley should sit as judge in his own palace and per.,
sou of all cases in which •individuals had been detected out
late at night.—(A laugh.)
Mr. DOMINICK BROWNE then addressed the House;
bnt the reiterated cries of " thiestion,• question," . and
" SlAtkr," rendered him totally inaudible in the Gallery.
The House was then cleared for a division, which took
place:— • •
For bringing in the Bill, 195—Against it 68-4 Maj irity 127..
During the reclusion of strangers, another division took
place on the question that the hill he read a first time. The
uu•nbers were understood to he,
For the first reading. 202—Against it, 44—Majority, 158.
she second reading of the Bill, as was collected, was then
agreed to without a.division, But on the question of printing
the Bill, the House again divided. The numbers were stated
to be,

For the printing., 143—Against it, 25—Majority, 117.

On our re-admission into the gallery, w fuund

. ,
Mr. SPRING RICE on his legs. As well as the noise and
confusion prevailing in the House would allow his meaning to
be collected, be intimated that Ise should feel bound to take
tic sense of the House upon the Bill's now going into A
CL\lTlAlittele.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY expressed 'a wish, that
the Hon. and Learned Genti.,titan would not persist in his
;notion, but allow the bill to pass its several stages to.night,
se nett it might be sent up to the other House to-naorrow,
receive the Royal sanction on Saturday, and be transmitted
to ;rebind this week. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman

n.ot gravely persist in his motion of adjournment.
Nt. DENMAN said, that he would use his• privilege as a
Member of the House, and oopose the passing of the Bill to.
pight, if the Noble Lord persisted in his determination of
pressing it. Such a measnre as this, involving the liberties
arid rights of a great country, ought not to pass like a formal
iorti;moity-bill, to which no objections could he made, and on
sr).ch no information was required.• Powers like those grant-
c,l by this bill ought not to he granted without the fullest
deliberation ; and he was sin prised at the lone of levity which
Noble ',old employed ou a 'question so grave ant momen-
totn.• He concluded by giving notice, that if the N,•hle Lord
persisted in his motion, he would employ the forms of the
House to prevent such a ureeipitate vole.
The--MArquis of LONDONDERRY said, as the Hon. and
LearnM Gentleman intended -to employ those forms which
:night stilt the passing of the Insurrection-Bill to-night, he
would not press it, but would only beg, that the other Bill
(+ he Habeas Corpus Suspension) might be allowed, without
opposition, to pass through the same stages, that WI might.
p-cceed together.
This motion was agreed to. •

Tar Habeas Corpus Suspension. Bili was introduced, rend
a•first and second time, and ordered .to be catuntitted to-mar-
:ow.

The Hooie then adjourned at a Quarter pist ONE O'CLOCK

From' the great length of the Parliamentary
IDehates, we are precluded from entering upon
the consideration of the important topics descant-
ed upon- in both Houses..
,In tlae House of Com-
mons, upon the question for bringing .in a Bill
for the 'renewal of the Insurrection Act, a
division took place, when it was carried by
a majority of 193 to GS. The Bill was then
brought in, and was read a first and second
-time, as was also the 41abeas Corpus Suspen-
sion Bill. Both Bills were Ordered to be
committed this day. They will probably reach
the House of Lords to-morrow, the Earl of
LIVERPOOL having given notice that he in
:tends -to move the suspension of the Stand-'
Order of the House.. 'the speech of Lord
,LONDONDERRY will be read with much interest.
His Lordship attributed the disturbances to the'
state of ignorance and suffering in which the pea;
sintry are placed, and not to the excitement of
bad passions, frOm religious or political motives,
.Still, whatevermight be the cause of the rebellion,
it was necessary that, strong measures should be
adopted forputting itdown. Lord MOUNTCH ARLES
thought, from his knowledge of Ireland as a Magis-
trate and Landlord, that the strong measures pro-
posed weriabsolutely necessary. There wasnot,in
his judgment, any religious or political feeling
concerned in the insurrection. The people were
in a state of starvation,—it was now at the door
of every man. The potatoes were rotted in the
ground ; the corn was molted ; the cattle were
destroyed. Such was the picture which the
outh of Ireland now presented ; and he thought
that before long the Gentlemen of this country
(England) would have to make advances to
lighten the pressure of that distress which weighed
down the people of Ireland.
-In speaking of the agricultural distress, Mr.
CURIVEN, than whom no person in the country
has a greater knowledge of agricultural affairs,
stated, that, " if adequate relief was not speedily
administered, a great part of the land would be
thrown out of cultivation, and then, instead of
the present low prices, the produce would be
raised to high ones, which would prove, if pos-
sible, still more injurious."-:—Mr. CuawEN'also
thought that" it is absolutely and imperatively ne-
cessary that all taxes upon the necessaries of life
should be repealed or reduced." Mr. RICARDO,
on the other hand, maintains that the notion that
the pressure of taxation is the cause of the agri-
cultural distress, is absurd, and is utterly incon-
sistent with every priOciple in political economy.
Our readers are in possession of our sentiments
on the vital question, to the further illustration
of which, however, we shall take a convenient
opportunity to recur.

IRELAND.—AII accounts from the neighbour-
hood of Macroom, and the Western parts of the
County of Cork, concur in representing that the
peasantry in that quarter have returned to their
usual occupations. We do not perceive, how-
ever, that there has been any thing like a gene-
ral surrender of arms by the insurgents of that
district. The severe checks which they have
--experienced appear only to have suspended the
prosecution of their criminal career. There are
-no symptoms of repentance,—no manifestations
that the disposition to outrage is quelled.
The party of Police who suffered so severely
at Churchtown, were stationed, it appears, in
one large house, of two stories. Some accounts
say that' they did not surrender, but that, just
before the burning roof fell in, they made a rush
upon: the assailants, and repulsed them. The
statement, that they sued for mercy, and deli-
vered up their arms, after four of their number
had been killed, and all but one wounded, seems
however-to lie correct. A Limerick Paper says
that two of the Police only'were killed, one miss-
ing, and five wounded.
The spirit of outrage has broken out with
greit violence in the COunty of Kilkenny. There
has not as yet been any affair with the military
or police, nor any very numerous
,assemblage of
the insurgents in a particular quarter; but a
great number of houses have been attacked, and
robbed of arms and other property.
The County of Limerick, in which the system
of outrage originated, presents a very alarming

appearance. It was hoped
.that the proceedings
~of the special Commission had' struck the
peasantry with dismay; but the calm which
ensued upon those proceedings has been mo-
mentary. The instigators of the Whiteboys
now parade the county in open day, is par-
ties of two or three together, and even
singly, doubly armed, arranging all the local
concerns of the county, and even dictating, by
formal treaty and personal interview, to the ma-
nagers of the Courtenay estate, as to the parties
to whom the lands shall be let. In many in-
stances, Gentlemen have left their houses, and
having thus abandoned their property to the ca-
price of the Insurgents, have sought protection
in the villages in which parties of the military
are stationed. The peasantry refused to aid
THOMAS FuaLoNc, of Ballydaniel, Esq., in re-
moving part of his furniture to a place of secu-
rity, though he offered_ great rewards for their
services.

The Kerry Evening Post announces that nine
persons have been apprehended charged with being
concerned in the murder of Mr. L3KERETON. In
this county; a body of about two hundred insur-
gents were, on Friday night, repulsed by the
spirited behaviour of WILLiAM Twtss, Esq. of
Tullerees, and of his son, and one other person.
One of the banditti was killed, and taco made
prisoners.

At a village named Turryglass, near Barris°.
kane, county of Tipperary, in a district hitherto
peaceable, the cattle of a farmer, named Boland,
were driven under a decree. The constables
were attacked by the peasantry, the cattle res-
cued, and odle of the men, named Larkin, killed.
This occurred on Thursday ; and on the follow-
ing day, Mr. Tow Ens, an active Magistrate, took
with him a small party of "soldiers from Portumue,
and proceeded in search of the murderers; but
he had not gone far, when he and the party were
compelled to retreat before a numerous body of
the peasantry.

(FRO3I THE WATERFORD MIRROR.)—We are enabled to
give a most satisfactory and particular account of the extraor-
dinary large force opposed to the deluded insurgents in the two
disturbed Counties of Cork and Limerick, viz. :—The 6th Dra-
goon Guards ; 3d Light Dragoons ; 6th Enniskillen Dragoons ;
11th, 22d, 39th, 40th, and 84th Foot; 42d, 79th, and 93d
Highlanders ; Ist and 2d battalions of the Rifle' Brigade ; Ist
Royal Veteran Battalion ; a troop of Horse Artillery, and two
demi-brigades of Foot Artillery.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Tuesday, which do not contain any further
details respecting the affairs of Turkey. The
Anstrian Journals at Vienna are incessantly'cir-
culating reports favourable to the maintenance
of peace between the Porte and Russia ; hut
private letters, and especially those from the
mercantile community, without any exception,
contradict these reports. It is however a well
known fact, that SALEII PACIIA, the Turkish
Commandant in Moldavia, has transferred his
head-quarters from Jassy to Foczany, and
that the principal forces of the Turks are
concentrating on the Danube.. That the Aus-
trian Government arse very doubtful of the
continuance. of peace, may be inferred from
the nature of the confidential circular, said, in an
article from Frankfort, to have been addressed by
them to • all the Members of the Germanic
Confederation. The Cabinet of Vienna urges
the absolute necessity, in the present state of
Europe, of a system of armed neutrality being
adopted by all Germany. " The union and con-
cord," says the circular," which reign among the
German Governments, aided by the energetic mea-
sures taken by theCabinets,have hitherto preserved
Germany from the anarchical spirit manifested in
other European States-. Notwithstanding the same
union still reigns between the two most power-
ful States of Germany (Austria and Prussia) and
that this union is the surest guarantee for .the
preservation of internal peace in Germany, yet
the troubles which may break out in foreign
countries serve, under present circumstances, to
demand eXtraordinary precautionN and on this
account an armed neutrality of Germany appears
to us very desirable."

Accounts down to the 28th ultimo have been
received at Paris by express from Madrid. 'They
state that the Cortes have acknowledged the
independence of the Spanish Colonies ; that Sr.
OSORTO, who was Minister of Marine in 1814,
has been again appointed to that office ; that Sr.
BALLASTEROS, Ex-Director-General of the Pub-
lic Revenues, has been nominated Minister of
Finance; that the Ex-Minister of War, D. SAN-
CHEZ SALVADOR, has resumed the functions of
Chief of the Staff of the Army ; and that Sr.
VALLEJO, Ex-Minister of Finance, goes to Cata-
lonia in quality of Political Chief. Advices are
also said to have been received of a popular
commotion at Cadiz, which terminated in the de-
position of the/newly installed Civil and Military
Authorities, and the appointment of individuals
in their places chosen by the people.

- In the French• Chamber of: Deputies-on Mon-
day', the discussion on the law for repressing of-

fences of the Press was resumed. The 14th
article, as amended by the Committee, which
proposes that all offences of the Press, ex-
cepting those provided for in the preceding
article, shall be tried by the Judges, thus
removing them from the cognizance of Juries,
gave rise to a very warm and animated
debate. M. M. ANGLES and DE MoyrnaoN,
and the Minister of the Interior, supported the
Article, which was opposed by Mb M. DE LA
BOULAYE, B. CONSTANT, and ST. AULAIRE, the,
first of whom delivered a most eloquent speech
in favour of the Trial by Jury.

Weireceived this morning Quebec Papers to
the Ist January. The following are Extracts :
" Captain TOUPIN, of the schooner Annabella,
has arrived from below ; his schooner is totally
lost ; saw the masts of a brig out of water a little
below Isles Magdaleine, on the south shore, and
another schooner, deserted, which he heard had
been bound to Miramichi. The Indians had
found the bodies of three men, supposed to be-
long to the schooner : a trunk and some barrels
of flour, part of the cargo of the Prompt, had
been found ashore near Father Point."—(Quebec
Paper, Dec. 28.)
" The British Commissioners' at Sierra Le,--le
announce a sensible diminution in the Slave
Trade, and add, that it is ascribed, in a large
degree, to the efforts of the public vessels-of the
United States cruising in that quarter."

RICHARD WROUGHTON, ESQ.—This Gentle-
man, who had long and deservedly held a con-
spicuous station on the London Stage, died yes-
terday at his house,in Rowland-street, in the
74th year of his age. Mr. WROUGHTON. pos-
sessed a sound understanding, and had observed
the world' with a discerning eye. His talents as
an actor were not of the very highest order, but
were in the next degree, and, in the prime of his
life, he occasionally appeared with great credit
in first-rate characters. He was of the OLn
Sett oor., as it is now styled, meaning the Scnoot.
of GARRICK and of Nature, which entirely over-
turned that cold and pompous style so highly •
praised by COLLEY CIBBER, who, however, had
published his apology many years before GAR-
RICK appeared, and whom at last, though with
much reluctance, he admitted to be the true
ACTOR of NATURE. Mr. WROUGHTON was much
respected for his. theatrical talents, at a time when
GARKICK, BARWY, and SMITII, wore high in pub-
lic favour. His performance of Darlemont, in
the play of INV' and Dumb, was equal in
conception and effect to any theatrical per-
fortuatwe that we ever witnessed, and the
late Mr. Fox declared that he had - never
seen such acting since the days of GARRICK.—
The truth is, that the good sense of Mr.
WROUGHTON induced him to keep his eye
steadily upon human life, and to study atten-
tively the nature of the character which he was
to perform. Hence he was totally free from
those trickeries of gesture, and that affected mix-
tute of the terrific and the familiar, which have
degraded the stage of late years, and which,
while they captivate the ignorant and vulgar,
can only make " the judicious grieve," Mr.
WItOUOIITON was a model of integrity in private
life, and all who consulted him might safely de-
pend .upon the suggestions of his knowledge,
prudence, and experience. As a companion he
was humorous and well-bred, with something of
a satirical tmartness that gave point to what he
said, and his conversation was always, enlivened,
by anecdotes, which he related witli force and
effect, but without any obtrusion Or parade. He
Was highly esteemed by a large-circle of friends,
.and..hits left'an amiable and accomplishes) widow
to lament the loss of a pleasant companion and
an affectionate protector.

The . Whigs., as, by courtesy, they are still
yclePtOliciugh fithbbins would be the proper term,
assert that Lord -LONDONDERRY'S answer to Sir
ROBERT WILSON was delivered in so low a
tone as to be inaudible in. the .gallery." How
comes it then that it was fully reported in
all the Morning Papers ? :This is obviously
L" a weak invention of the enemy." But, with
the usual " prognosticating prediction " of the
Paper alluded to, they. have also discovered, and
boldly affirm, that " it. is evident from this att•
swer (though " inaudible") that Ministers mean
to entrench themselves behind the Prerogative."
We advise these Gentlemen to wait at least till
Tuesday next, when the gallant Ex-Officer will
bring for vard the subject in the House of COM.
MODS, WWI the full array of himself and his
Party.
It is said, that 'Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S scheme
for a Parliamentary Reform is NOT intended to
prevent occasionality at Elections in Close
Boroughs, which are to remain on their present
footing ! ! For correct information on this sub-
ject, we can most safely_ refer our readers to the
recent publication. of JOHN NicuoLs, Esq., who
was so many years in Parliament, and who had
so many opportunities of forming a just estimate
of the real character of the Whigs.
