PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 9.

nitoontx and others, from the Commons, brought up
several Private Bills, which were read a first time.
The Irish Four, per Cents. Bill, and the Judges Accommo-
dation Bill, were read a third time, and passed.
The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a petition from the
Preeholders of the County of Elgin, relative to the Salmon
Pisheries.7-Laid on the table.:

SECRET SOCIETIES IN IRELAND.
The Earl of LIMERICK held a petition from a Body. of,
sue, who, he thought, had been really ill-treated by not being ngexempted from the operation of the . Act for preventing. the
assembling of Secrets SoCieties in Ireland. It was from the
Freemasons of a town (we did not hear the 'same), .in that
C°untrY, and prayed to be relieved from ' the operation of
that Act.
The,Earl of LIVERPOOL did not rise to oppose the peti-
tion, but to remind their Lordships, that when the Acts in ques-
tion was
progress through their House lait year, a clause had
1-,tten moved by a Noble Duke connected with Ireland (the
'Joke of Leinkter), to preient its extending to Freemasons.--
he (the Earl of Liverpool) had objected to that clause, not on
the ground that the Freemasons of Ireland had ever mimed the
9bjects of their Institution to political'purposes, but because
bein g the policy of the Government to put down all secret
..ocieties and Institutions, the law ought to be general, and
should show no partiality to any of them,. whatever was their
I'high), or hwever loally disposed. Te information which
le had since o
r y
eceived would haye confirmhed the opinion which-
ne had then formefl, if it had needed confirmation. It was ne,
l'eßsary for the public peace of Irelarld that the antopaion of the
•atr should be universal. From the moment that exception
should be made, the law would act invidiously, -and the great
abject of putting down all those Secret Societies and proces-
itions which were the cause of so much irritation and mischief
would be defeated.
The Earl of LIMERICK, in explanation, stated, that. the
Freemasons of Ireland had always strictly confined themselves
to the original objects of their institution, which were those of
charity.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN agreed with the Noble
tad at the head of his Majesty's Treasury, as to the propriety
fi.4. introducing no exception whatever to the operation of the
lave for preventing the Meeting of Secret Societies. At the
same time he must express his conviction that no instance had
(marred in which the body of Irish Freemasons had applied
however
institutionto
political purposes. It was not too much;
iovrever, to expect from their patriotism, that they would for
a time sacrifice their own feelings in consideration of the great
benefit which was to result to the peace of their country, from
the unity and universality of the law. He rejoiced to hear that
she Noble Earl opposite thought it expedient to use the info- •
ice of Government to prohibit and put down those meetings
d those processions, which that Noble Earl had truly stated
Were at the bottom .of more than half the mischief existing in •
Ireland, particularly in the Northern parts. An eloquent Irish.
Orator, speaking of the magnificent edifices of Dublin, had
once said that in looking at them he saw the wing of office
overshadowing the metropolis.. He (the Marquisof L.) wished
at last to protection ng of office overshadowing the country, and
yielding to whole people.
Earl DARNLEY concurred in thinking that no exception
should be made in favour of any society and d t
the act of last year had failed .to
put an end t
to all truste
Secret Sociehattieas.
s and Processions, the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's
Government, would take the, in the course of the Present Ses-
sion, to amend it, and render it effectual.
The petition was then laid on the table.
IRISH BURIALS.
~ Lord STOWELL presented a petition from a Society cal-
ling itself the Protestant Union of Ireland, against the Irish
Burials' Bill. •
Lord KING observed,
si
that this petition proved that the
Catholics were not the sole and exclusive petitioners against the
measure. • , . ,
The petition was then laid upon the fable.
On the motion of the Earl. of LIVERPOOL, the Irish
Burialet Bill was then read a third time and passed, after hav-
