Our readers will have seen the end of Lord
Darnley's motion for an inquiry into the state of
ireland-;, and by the more reasoning portion of
them, no doubt, the arguments of Lord Liver-
peel, for refusing that motion, will be considered
ismong the curiosities of logic. "Give me,"
tooth he, 4‘ a specific grievance, and I have no
" objection to examine it; but the purpose of the
" proposed inquiry is so general, that it must do
" more harm than good." The Noble Lord, it
appears, .is satisfied to practice as a barber-sur-
geon : lie will probe a cut finger, or apply caus-
tic to a scratch ; hut for the higher otlices and
more arduous duties of the profession, he is want-
►ng either in nerve or intelligence. lie lets the
unhappy patient " minister unto himself."—
" Specific evils !" Why, have you not a thou
said of them ? Diseases from top to toe ! Land-
lord and tenant--magistrate and mob—parson and
parishioner--Catholic and Protestant--population
and subsistence—Government and• people—all
these relations, and a myriad of others,are so litany
specific, definite, and indisputable mischiefs, the
least of them deserving the most earnest inves-
tigation, and the most decisive remedy ; but all
together, according to Lord Liverpool, affording
such proof of a desperate case, with which no
Duman skill, or spirit, or power can struggle,
that he tells the Parliament to shut its eyes, to
drop its arms, and leave the sufferer to shift for
himself ! Is this the language of a Statesman ?
er of one who is at once weak. enough to fancy
that the world will detect no rottenness which
is not recognized by the report of a Com-
mittee, and uncandid enough to resolve on con-
cealing it, lest, if published, the nation might
extort from him the necessary cure ?

[MORNING POST.J 1 _ -

In the House of Commons last night the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer moved a Resolution to
give effect to the grant of 500,0001. for the build-
ing of Churches, and ably proved the necessity
of the measure. He showed that notwithstand-
ing the erection of ninety-five churches out of
the grant of One Million already applied by
Parliament to that object, there were still 179
places, with a population of 3,548,000 indivi-
duals, in which there was no Church accommo-
dation for more than one out of seven. Mr.
Hobhouse contended that a want of religious in-
struction was not one of the immediate wants of
the people, arid moved a set of counter Resolu-
tions, declaring that it was inexpedient to make
any further grant for the erection of new Churches.
Ile was only supported in part by Mr. Smith and
in Coto by Mr. Ilume, whose arguments, how-
ever, were of such a nature, that although urged
against the measure, they determined some of his
own friends to vote in its favour. Powerfully
supported by Mr. Secretary Peel and Dr. Lush-
ington the original Resolution was carried by a
triumphant majority of 148 to 59. The business
in the Lords was unimportant. The Irish Burials
Bill was read a third time and passed, and the
Marquis of Lansdown postponed the Committee
on the Unitarian Marriage Bill till after the
holidays. -
