IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE Or COMMONS.
POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) PILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Mr. E. 13. ROCHE telt convinced if any attempt was
made to diminish the area of taxation, encouragement
would be given to unprincipled landlords to exterminate
the people of Ireland.
Air. BLA CKALL said when the country was in dis-
tress and difficulty they gave it an extended law, but
that extended law had entirely faUed. if the maxim❑m
rate which was proposed would eventually do great in•
jury to Ireland, they ought not to pass it simply because
it would give some temporary advantage. To do Ire-
land any wholesome good, and improve its social rela-
tions, they must look to the occupiers, and not
to the hndlords.—(Hear.) The principle be wished to
see adopted was to reduce the area of taxation, and thus
to create a local interest, and to secure local supervision
with respect to the support of the poor. He would ra-
ther that this were a temporary measure, for he objected
to any permanent alteration in the poor-law at
the fag end of the session, when there was no
time for deliberation, and w hen many measures of
immediate importance were waiting to be discussed and
decided.

Mr. SCULLY gave his support to the measure of the
Government.
After a few observations from Mr. P. SCROPE,
Mr. CLEMENTS advocated the 7s. in preference to
the ss. rate. But the first step to a national rate would
be to impose an uniform rate of 2s. upon every union.
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT supported the amendment
on the ground, that if they conceded to the proposition
of the Government, they would be acting upon erroneous
principles. In England the principle adopted was to
make every district rest onsible for its own poor, but this
measure proposed that one district should support the
poor of another district, that in fact the liability of the
responsible person should be transferred to the person
who was not responsible. That Frinciple was foreign to
the English poor-law, and was less applicable to Ireland
than to England, because in the latter country self-
government had been so long known that a greater extent
of area might be adopted with loss mischief and les
advantage to society than it could be in Ireland. Their
great object ought to be to force home responsibility to
every man's door, and not to impoverish others who had
used every effort to support their own poor by placing
additional burdens upon their shoulders.
After a few words from Sir J. YOUNG,
Mr. SHEIL said he represented a borough in which
there was much poverty, owing to an influx of poor
from the agricultural districts; and be, therefore, thought
that those districts which had thus been cleared of their
poor ought to be called upon to contribute to the maxi-
mum rate. This was a case, in fact, of town against
country. If the amendment were carried, the land from
which the poor had been expelled would be wholly
exempt from contributing to the wants of the poor, and
the whole burden would be thrown upon the towns. He
as much experience as any man of town and country
in Irelat.d, and if he spoke. for hours he could not state
the case more truly.
After a few words from Sir J. YOUNG,
Mr. MONSELL could rot conceive upon what prin-
ciple a maximum rate could be recommended, because,
instead of producing confidence among landlords, as had
been alleged, he thought it would remove all interest in
the reduction of poverty in the different districts.
Mr. CALLAGHAN thought that the mea,ure of the
Government would be of great use in the present dis-
tressed coi.dition of the country.
Mr. SIIARNIAN CRA‘VFORD opposed the propo-
sition of the llon. Memint• on the same ground that
he opposed every p7oposition for a rate in aid. If re-
lief was given by union rates a national rate must fol
low, which would had to the utter destruction of all
property. This ought to be N 301:, nof as a landlord's
question more than eccupi, r's. That House ought to
adopt such a course with reference to landlord and tenant
as would compel the landlord to give proper ranum ra-
tion to the occupier of the soil. lie should vote for the
7s. rate.

Mr. HENLEY said that those gentlemen who had
objections to the maximum rate were placed in a difficult
position. They would have to put up with a union rate
which they disapproved of, or a 7s. rate, which would
not be suffiJient to relieve the distress. He should vote,
however, for the last, and for the 2s. rate too, on the
principle that he would take as much as he could get.
Pauperism could only be kept down by the employment
of the people, and the occupiers of the land only could
do so, and if they had not the power all classes would
be eaten.

Sir A. BROOKE, amidst loud cries of " Divide," rose
to support the amendment. He thought that as soon as
the ss. rate was exhausted the Consolidated Fund would
be attacked. Ho was not opposed to a maximum rate,
but he thought that a ss. rate was not high; 7s. was not
either, and he would have voted for a 10s. rate if he
could have got it. He concluded by calling upon the
House to vote for the 7s. rate.

The galleries were then cleared, and the Rouse divided.
On the original question that the words " five" be

The amendment was consequently rejected.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and ob-
tained leave to sit on Thursday.
The House then adjourned until half-past five for a
Commission, and until six o'clock for business.

The House re assembled at Half-past Five o'clock.
