THE MINISTRY.—It is rumoured that the forth-
coming motion of Mr. Disraeli on the state of the country
will seriously damage, if not effectually destroy the Ministry.
Recent events have tended to concentrate the power of the
great Protectionist party in.and out of Parliament. Timid
men who, from a mistaken notion of the futility of their
efforts, have held back, are now ready to put their shoulders
to the wheel. The great meeting at Drury-lane must have
convinced the most sceptical that the country party is by far
the most influential, and that it requires but the will to re.
verse the whole of the mischievous legislation under which
every class of the community in England is at present suf-
fering. Should a Protectionist Ministry be formed, it is
understood that Lord Stanley will lead in the Upper, and
Mr. Disraeli in the Lower House of Parliament.-- Cheltenham

CONVICTS IN IRELAND.
Sir 11. W. BARRON said he understood that the
Lord-Lieutenant in his discretion had commuted the
sentences of several prisoners in that country from
transportation to imprisonment. Under those circum-
stances, he (Sir H. W. Barron) wished to ask if the ex-
pense of the convicts thus kept at home was to be thrown,
on the counties; for if that were so, it would be estab •
lishing a precedent which might hereafter be severely
felt by the rate-payers of counties?
Sir GEORGE GREY said he was not aware of the
cases to which the lion. Baronet referred. However, if
sentences were commuted by the Lord-Lieutenant from
transportation to imprisonment, the expense of main-
taining the prisoners in the country would unquestion-
ably fall on the rates.
Sir W. H. BARRON asked whether it might not be
managed, as in other instances; to have the prisoners
sent to the hulks and other depots which were provided
in both countries, thus preventing the expense falling so
directly on the rate-payers,
Sir G. GREY said the law would not permit of such
an arrangement being made.
POOR-LAW (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day being read for the House
going into Committee again on this Bill,
Sir W. H. BARRON moved the insertion of the fol-
lowing clause ;—" And whereas it is found that out-
door relief demoralises the paupers, leads to great frauds%
pauperises the rate-payers, and destroys all motives for
exertion on the part of both landed proprietors and
capitalist?, be it therefore enacted that, from the Ist of
January, 1850, it shall not he lawful for any board of
guardians in Ireland to grant relief to the able-bodied
poor out of the workhouse." The Hon. Baronet pro-
ceeded to state he was induced to submit the clause from
a conviction that this country could no longer defray the
enorm Ms expense of out-door relief. Did the House
know the extent of the increase of out-door
paupers. A recent Parliamentary return showed
that .in the Balling Union there were 34,000
paupers; in Ballinrobe Union 46,000; in the Castlebar
Union, 21,000; in the Castlereagh Union, 16,000; in the
Newcastle Union, 17,000; and in the West Port Union,
27,000. Could any one believe that the property of
Ireland could support such a mass of pauperism. A.
great number of the unions in the south and west of
Ireland were bankrupt, and in others it was of late found.
impossible to collect the rates. In the union of New-
Ross, in one of the best counties in Ireland, Captain.
Newport, a vice-guardian, reported that in one day he
had 300 applicants for out-door relief, and that rates in
the union were no longer collectable. He asked whether
the Government was prepared to perpetuate a line of
policy which had been condemned by the Committee of
the House of Lords, and also by the Committee of their
own House? He warned the House that if they per-
sisted in this system they would have to return, as the
Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tam-
worth had told them, to the legislation of former
years, and refuse to give out-door relief.
He cited a case in which about 150 young men walked
out of the workhouse one day when the stone-breaking
teat was applied to them. This was an important
fact. Also a case that occurred under his own ob•
servation in the Waterford union, whereof one hun-
dred and two paupers applied for admission, think-
ing that out-door relief would be afforded theme
since they believed the workhouse was full;
room, however, was found for them; but the next
morning they decamped ; such was the success of the
in-door test. Again, many instances had occurrred
women bringing up children that were borrowed for the
occasion, in order to obtain relief, and of the same chil-
dren being brought up again by different women for the
same purpose. It had been said that the rich parish of
Manchester had become alarmed because in a period of
great distress 1,200 or 1,300 people were receiving out-
door relief. 4, Surely if Manchester was alarmed at this,
with all its great resources, how much more reason lead
they, in Ireland, to be alarmed where they had no re-
sources to meet the increased demand made upon the
impoverished farmers; for instead of having but 1,200
or 1,300 out-door poor to provide for, they had 10,000,
20,000, and even 40,000 to provide for. He dis-
claimed having brought his amendment forward
as a party question and to embarrass the Go-
vernment, seeing that the landowner was being
eaten up by this out-door relief, which should
be materially reduced in amount—that land was
going out of cultivation, and that their best farmers
were selling off, and flying from their country to
America, where there was no out-door relief. Such
was the state of the country that it was Take an
erratic bog, end if it had been submerged in the
Atlantic, or 300,000 Cossacks had invaded, it. He
wished the House to express its opinion upon Coss matter.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed the cheuse. It
was hardly proper, after having discussed the
broad question and decided upon it, that such
a clause should be brought forward. If they
were to refuse out-door relief to the able-bodied, in the
end, he feared, it would not be found economical, since
they would subsequently come to them as sick and dis-
abled poor. 700,000 were at present receiving relief, but
they were not of the able-bodied class, therefore the ob-
servation of the Hen. Baronet could not extend to them.
Mr. DICKSON characterised the opposition of the
Government as evincing a disposition to throw over the
Irish Members, which characterised also, he might say,
that House. Hon. Members unacquainted with Ireland did
not know the class of men they had to deal with in Ire-
land. They were just those who so long as they could
get a pull out of the poor-rates would not labour.
Out-door relief was demoralising and impoverishing the
country.

ROTHSCHILD, the CHAMPION of FREE-
TRADE.
And what does " FREE-TRADE" mean ?
It means:—
Using French boots and shoes, and leaving the English shoemakers
to starve.

Using French gloves. and sending the Worcester glovemakers to the
workhouse.

Using Geneva clocks and watches, and ruining the Clerkenwell
Watchmakers.
. Preferring Brazilian sugar, and ruining onr own West India colonies.
Opening our ports to foreign ships, and sending our own sailors to
break stones on the roads.
Using French silks, and pannerising Spitalflelds.
Admitting Polish and American corn, and ruining our own farmers.
1.11!a is " FREE-TRADE." There is not another nation on the
face or the earth, besides England, so stupid as to tolerate it.
The Americans, a free people, and pretty good judges of their own
interests, raise nearly all their revenue by taxes on British manu-
factures. We, in return, admit American produce duty free. This
we have the happiness of paying not only our own taxes, which
are pretty heavy, but of paying nearly all the American taxes
likewise !
And now look at the
