ract,er, and that, too, from a high dignitary in the
h
Lomsua Catholic Church. He alluded t e 'epeech of
Archdeacon .
Laffan, which the people sef England
were stigmatised as Saxon scoundrels, who, if men
enough, would, when suffering the same pr tvations as the
Irish, stand on one side, and shoot every •
decent elan who had a
coat on his back." There were fe drr Members of
Parliament present when that speech ware made—among
.
the rest the lion. and Learned Member for Kilkenny—
and not one of them had thought fit to niake a reproving
obeervation.—(llear, hear.) Assassin Aden had been the
result of such harangues. Accordir br to the returns of
the Poor-law Commissioners the ra
,Ceeble rental of that
country amounted to fourteen mil' eons—he believed that
twenty was nearer the mark— and until that had been
fully taxed he would not consrest to any more subsidies
from England.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that in the
present state of things full '',ewers should be given to the
Lord-Lieutenant, and he for one was prepared to grant
those powers.—(Hear.)
Mr. M. O'CON'N:caa, said that the speech the House
had just beard was exactly such a one as was calculated
to ecccite to frenzy the already inflamed people ot Ire-
land. The lion. Baronet had been particularly face-
ti.ous on the subject of certain Irish Members dying on
'the floor of the House. He (lir. O'Connell) believed
that the necessity for such an extremity would not occur,
because the Irish Members could, as they had done
before, defeat any Coercion Bill that might be brought
fierward. The Hon. Beroiset had alluded to a certain
eTeech made by Archdeacon Laffan, but he had only
quoted the commencement of that speech, omitting the
conclusion, which denounced crime, and exhorted the
people to peace and order.—(Hear, hear.) It should he
recollected also that the commencement of the speech,
however ill-advised it might be under other circum-
stances, had been provoked by the constant calumnies
and abuse of certain English newspapers. Ile would
ask that House, did they think that if the people of
England suffered one-tenth of the oppression under
which the Irish laboured, they would have remained
quiet under it ? The Honourable Baronet had alluded
to the address of 1762. Why, the peoelu of Ireland
had preserved the peace ever since that time —(A
laugh.) As to the grant of eight or ten millions, he
could assure the House that not more than one-fifth of
that sum had reached the people, and even of that a
large portion was absorbed in paying the army of 15,000
officials. The Hun. Baronet had asked what had certain
Members ot that House done for Ireland ? He had last
year remained in Ireland to endeavour to mitigate the
sufferings of the poor its his own neighbourhood, and he
was glad to say that his exertions had been so far suc-
cessful that no district in the county was more peaceful.
But in that district it was proved that there was now re-
maining surplus of the last harvest not food sufficient to
supply the people for two months. The majority of the
people there spoke Irish, not understanding, a word of
_English ; yet they soughs to improve the condition cf
those people by sending a man to teach them agriculture
who could not speak a word ot Irish. Let the House
wait until the returns of the amount of distress existing
and the quantity of food remaining in the several pa-
rishes of Ireland were sent in, and then say whether
they thought the poor-law would he a sufficient depend-
ence for the Irish poor until the next harvest, and
whether sonic further assistance would not be needed.
Mr. S. CRAW FORD, but for the allusion which had
been made to the landlord and tenant question, would
not have addressed the House on the present occasion.
The Right Hon. Secretary fur the Home Department
had stated that a measure on this subject was shortly to
be brought forward by the Governmera. But that de-
claration was not satisfactory to him, for during the last
session the then Secretes., for It clime had told them the
same thing. Over and over again they had been told in
the previous session that the subject was under conside-
ration by the Government, and that a measure would be
speedily submitted to Parliament. Yet nothing was
done, and he was apprehensive that unless the Govern-
ment were forced on by the exertiens of others, the
present session wool I pass over without any legislation
its reference to it. For twenty years p eat it Lad stood
upon the records of Parliament, that sue existing rela-
tions of landlord and tenant were the cause of many of
the evils under which Ireland lateared. He referred to
the reports of the varieus Committees in proof of this.
It was his conviction that had a satisfactory measure
been carried during the last session for the settlement of
the landlord and tenant question, those murders by which
the country had been of late disgraced would never have
occurred. English tenants receive:l compensation, but
Irish none; and when they neglected to secure the rights
of labour, ho could they expect the rights of propery to
be respected? English gentlemen had scarcely an idea of
the state of the Irish tenants. During the Government
of Sir R. Peel two Bills were brought forward for the
wtlement of the landlord and tenant question, one of
ich was still before the House when the Right Hon.
Baronet left office; when subisquently that measure was
abandoned the Noble Lord (J. Russell) stated that the
question would be considered early in the next session.
The Noble Lord was therefore doubly pledged in this
matter. The tenants now looked upon their landlords
as tyrants, and when they looked to the machinery of
landlordism, with its ejectment processes and its bailiffs,
it was not surprising. It was all very well to talk to the
people about the advantages of self-reliance ; but how
could the Irish tenantry have any self-reliance when
they had not six months' secure possession of their
land, but on the contrary were almost certain of being
dispossessed if, in the exercise of their self-reliance, they
endeavoured to improve their holdings and better their
condition? In all cases where tensat-right was given
(as in the county of Down) there was no want of
confidence between the tenant and his landlord, nor was
there any difficulty of providing for the poor. In
the north of Ireland tenant-right had been established
by legal decision, as against third parties in the case of
property required by the Irish railways. A simple
measure giving the same right as against the landlords
throughtout the country was all that was required. In
some parts of Ireland it was the custom to give the
tenants notice every six months, in order that they
might always be in the power of the landlord. As no
private Member had any chance of carrying such a mea•
sure, he hoped the Government would redeem their
pledge by passing an efficient measure of tenant-right
without further procrastination. It was useless to send
lecturers to improve the knowledge of agriculture
amongst Irish farmers until they gave them security of
tenure. He did not expect that any measure would have
the effect of immediately or very rapidly improving the
condition of Ireland, but the landlord and tenant mea-
sure was necessary as a groundwork for any improvement.
There was no one more ready to give the Government
the powers necessary to pet down assassination than
himself, but he would not delude the House or the Govern-
ment with the idea that it could be put, down by coer-
cion alone. If remedial measures went hand in hand with
coercive, he would give the Government the powers
they required to repress outrage, but not without. He
could not consent to a measure for drawing from the
labour of this country the funds which ought to be pro-
vided by Irish property, as the resources of Ireland
were sufficient to maintain the poor of that country; but
if the Government and Legislature would not do that
which was necessary to enable the people of Ireland to
support themselves, the English House of Commons and
the English people must pay for the neglect.—(Hoar.)
Mr. MEAGHER said a few words in defence of the
conduct of Archdeacon Laffan, and stated that on all
occasions he had h ex-orted the people to obey the law.
He had, in more than one instance, assisted him (Mr.
Meagher) in apprehending persons who had infringed
the law; and, on one occasion, eight men had been
apprehended, brought to trial, and convicted through
his means.

Sir W. SOMERVILLE could not see in the speeches
of the Hon. Members for Meath and Cork any justifica-
tion of the present amendment, and he had hoped that
after the speech of his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, it would have been
withdrawn. He regretted he could not say that the
picture which had been drawn of Ireland's distress and
crime was exaggerated; but, as regarded crime, it was at
least satisfactory to think that it was quite local—being
confined to part of the King's County, Limerick, Clare,
Roscommon, and Tipperary. Crime now, he must ob-
serve, differed in its character from that of former years.
At the close of 1846, though outrages were frequent,
they were mostly connected with distress, and exhibited
themselves in plundering of provisions and slaughtering
of cattle—but they now arose from a spirit of resistance
to the payment of rent, and were committed principally
by armed men. The Hon. Member for Kilkenny said
that the existing law had not been put in forces but he
(Sir W. Somerville) knew not upon what authority
Lis Honourable Friend made that assertion, be-
cause he believed that the law had never been
enforced with greater rigour than by the present
Lord-Lieutenant. (Hear, hear, the Hon. Member
for Kilkenny observing " Special commission.") If cir-
cumatances arose to justify a special commission, ho had
no doubt that the Lord-Lieutenant would immediately
direct one; but his Hon. Friend must recollect that as
regarded the murderers of Mr. Roe, Mr. Lucas, Major
Mahon, and Mr. Bayley, the murderers had not yet been
discovered, and a special commission in this case would
be a nullity.—(Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend was also
wrong
in supposing that it was in the power-of the Lord-
Lieutenant, to increase his constabulary force ab libitum;
'lnd before he charged the Government with introducing
miseeearhrz
thofehardship, he thought he ought to wait and
Somerville'sjeo measures

Hon. Gentleman in that House. The

of rents, not of aiding
in the collection, but of me=eting

their juPst
fectly novel, and would teach those°7
who had the means and the power to discharge
debts, and would not do so, that they were not to the
set
law of the country at defiance. While, however, the the
had of Englishmen was raised by the crime s h
had alluded to, let them not forget that the people in thee
western districts were not stained with these atrocious
perpetrations, but were still suffering from the severest
affliction with which any nation was ever witnessed.—
(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Baronet then proceeded
so praise the Ration Act, by which, in one week in July,
2,339,965 persons had been fed; after which ho detailed
the peculiar circumstances of distress under which the
poor-law came In
into operation. three-fourths of the
country it would, however, be successful, and he con-
sidered that a great deal was achieved when three-
fourths of Ireland were made self-dependent. It had
been said that several boards of guardians had thrown
up their offices, but that was nut the case. Several had
been dissolved on account of other circumstances, which
rendered it necessary; and Ballinrobe, Castlebar, lisn-
tark, and several others were managed by paid guardians.
The Government had endeavour( d to carry out tte
poor•law in such away as to conciliate the people, not

enforcing their rules in a harsh and arbitrary spirit;
and he trested the law would soon begin to take root in
the country, and become popular with the people, and
that the, would cease to consider it as oppressive, but
as intender as a provision set apart by the State for the
support of the poor.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped, after
this explareetion, the amendment would be withdrawn.
Another Honorable Member had alluded to him in very
unkind terms. He did not know what he had done
since he accepted office to deserve such remarks; and
he ventured to say that if he in any degree merited
them he should not be a fit colleague for her Majesty's
Ministers, who had ever acted towards Ireland with the
warmest desire for her welfare.—(Cheers.) The Hon.
Baronet concluded by again expressing a hope that
the amendment would be withdrawn, and resumed his
seat amidst cheers from the Ministerial benches.
Mr. A. STAFFORD said he entirely agreed with
some gentlemen who had spoken, when they said
that it was the wish of the House that
the amendment should be withdrawn. He should
wait and see what measures were brought for-
e aril by her Majesty's Government. On the very
mild and temperate speech which had just been de
livered, he would venture, in the first place, to remark
upon what he considered a discrepar.cy between one
statement which had been made and the statement which
had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary
for Home -Affairs. He had understood the Hon. Mem-
ber for Drogheda to say that the poor-law would be self-
supporting in three-fourths of Ireland, but that in the
lest quarter of the country it would be necessary to have
another grant from the Government. Now, he (Mr. A.
Stafford) had understood the Right Hon. Gentleman
the Secretary of State fur Home Affairs to say that the
funds of the British Association would be found suffi-
cient to meet this difficulty. Then, if the Hon. Member
for Drogheda stated that in one quarter the poor-law
would not be found to be self-supporting, and the Seers-
tery of State for Home Affairs that there nee d be no
grant from the Government, it remained to be stated by
tee Government what became of the one-fourth.—(Hear.
hear.) But he (Mr. A. Statfor3) must say that the poor-
law in three parts of Ireland—the experiment having
been made at a time of the greatest difficulty—proposed
an experiment on the property of the country unprece-
dented in the annals of history, except in times of de
ciared revoluth n. When it was said that Government
came forward to ask for Coercion Bills, it should be re-
membered that there was a great difference between the
periods past and present, and that now, by law, no man
need starve in Ireland. A legislative provision had been
made, and the property of Ireland had been taxed for
the support of the poverty of Ireland. The llon. Mem-
ber for Drogheda had stated that the peculiarity of the
assassinations, and the attempts at assassination in Ire
land, consis:ed in their being all connected with land.
Now, he would grant that the greater part of the crimes
were connected with land and the collection of rates, but
the Hon. Gentleman should not deceive himself— should
not take too favourable a view of the state of society in
Ireland, as he assuredly would da if he considered that
crimes which had begun in the resistance to the pay-
ment of rates would stop when other objects were in
view. Take, for instance, the last murder committed
in the county of Limerick, and the particulars of which
had just reached the metropolis. A farmer, of the name
of Dillon, found it impossible to procure the return of
some money, and he went to Limerick to consult his law
agent. On his return, :Mr. Dillon was barba-
rously and brutally murdered. Many of the
crimes were committed for purposes not connected
with land or with rents. Treat the matter as
they would, the civil war which was raging in some
parts of Ireland was a war, not only against rents, but
against rates, as a part of property. The evil with
which we had to deal iu Ireland was not the solitary
assassination, but a system of connivance and sympathy
with the perpetrators of assassination. And if it was
found that the system of criminal law of England
worked ,well, because it met with the sympathy of the
people, it was because in Ireland no such sympathy ex-
isted that the law was inoperative. He (Mr. A. Staf-
ford) had never stood up for old abuses—he had never
contended that the landed proprietors were blameless—
he had never advocated the existing law of landlord
end tenant, and he should accordingly receive with
levour the measure which her Majesty's Ministers
might bring forward. But it would be useless to con-
sider this question unless property and life were se-
cured in Ireland. He did not allude to a law which
should protect the rich at the expense of the poor.
Ile challenged any one who had been in that country,
in the most disturbed districts, to deny that it was
the wish of the improving tenant, of the best class
of farmers, and of the friese-coated peasant, that
some such protection should be given as was now asked
at the hands of her Majesty's Government.—(Cheers.)
Never imagine that because the murder of a magistrate
was read in large letters, the system of crime and terror
would cease—never imagine because there were resolu-
tions of magistrates and letters from persons in respect-
able positions, that there were not near that spot a set
of men for whom it would be necessary to provide
employment in agriculture, and whose condition it would
be necessary to improve.—(Hear, hear.) When he said
that he approved of all that Lord Clarendon had done
fur the assertion of the rights of property and the pre-
servation of life—when he said that he tendered to the•
Government thanks for what they had done in that
country, let it not be supposed that he stood up to
advocate partial measures. He stood up in vindication
of the honest labour of the tenant, and in reprobation
of crime and murder. Some Hon. Gentlemen who had
spoken in the course of the debate had said that the
people were driven to commit all those acts of violence
and blood. But he had listened in vain for the
connexion between the provocation and the bloodshed.
Did Honourable Gentlemen mean to say that it was
only in Tipperary, Clare, and Roscommon, that the
system of landlordism prevailed ? Did they mean to
say that there were ejectments in no other counties ?
If crime, however, could be traced to other causes—and
it was known that there were ejectments in Mayo, Kil-
kenny, and Donegal—the argument of Hon. Members
fell to the ground. If other causes could be found they

_
must be gi;ppled with. Only prove that where eject-
ments were most rife life was most insecure, and he
still said that that did not account for all those dis-

turbances and assassinations of which we had daily in-
telligence, but that it offered an additional reason for
giving discretionary powers to the Lord Lieutenant.
The Hon. Member here gave a most painful account of
the recent attempt to murder Mr. Bayley at Nenagh, and
showed the sympathy which was evinced by the people
of the neighbourhood for the crime and the criminals.
He (Mr. A. Stafford) lived in that part of the country
in which this attempt was made—he lived, as had been
said, on the opposite side of the house, without barred
windows or locked doors—he had never had a threatening
notice, and his life had never been attempted. But he
would not speak less strongly on that account, nor at•
tempt to lessen that responsibility which the Govern-
ment, by calling upon the House to consider the state of
Ireland, had thrown upon them.—(Cheers.)
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said that this was confessedly
the commencement of the programme of the usual ses-
sion, and he was not at all astonished to find the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer checking the exuberance of the
Member for Drogheda. He objected to the high co-
louring which Hon. Members used when describing
crime in Ireland, and offered to pourtray murders com-
mitted in this country quite as vividly. He could not
see what great advantage the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer would derive from his financial programme, after
the communications which had been made by the Right
lion. Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland. The object
of calling Parliament together was to give stability so
the money market, and what had the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman told the House? He was about to show that
two million s'x hundred thousand had been imported
last year, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer stopped
him, lest, in his exuberance, he might damage the cause.
But ho had not been stopped in time, for the Right Hon.
Gentleman told the House that the potato crop was
valued at only four millions, whilst its usual value was
sixteen millions. Ho suspected that tranquillity could
only be procured by coercion ; he objected to
a Coercion Bill, which was to punish those
who were confessedly the victims of bad govern-
ment. He asked the Government whether they
were going to found a Coercion Bill upon their own mis-
government, without first inquiring into the cause of
crime? He thought that one of the chief caxses of crime
in Ireland was the premium which was offered to idle-
ness. Ireland was a fruitful country, and the people
were industrious; and why was it that she did not pros-
per whilst others with inferior advantages were pro-
gressing ? If one Coercion Bill was to pass, what re-
medy had the Government against the necessity of other
measures of the same sort ? There was only one re-
medy now, and that was, to set the people to work in
reproductive labour, and, to give them a perpetuity of te-
nure.—(" Bravo" from some Irish Member, laughter,
and cries " Order.") Give the Irish people reason to be
industrious, and they would be so. They had heard
much of the virtues of the gentlemen who had been
murdered, but they should also hear, and think too, of
the sufferings of the people. He called upon the Mem-
bers fur Ireland to sink all their differences for the sake
of their country. If an attempt were made to coerce
Ireland-again, he would consider himself as a soldier in
her cause, and sit, nay, even sleep, in that House—
(Great laughter)—in order to endeavour to prevent such
a result. The Hon. Member concluded by observing,
that he would only give the Government his support
on their Irish policy so long as they did—what he did
not think they were likely to do—bring forward
good measures in reference to that country.
Mr. GRATTAN said he withdrew his amendment.
The amendment having been withdrawn accordingly,
The SPEAKER was about to put the question on the
Address, when

Mr. HERRIES rose, and (in a very low tone of voice,
which rendered it difficult to catch more than the mere
purport of his remarks) said that there was one part of
her Majesty's Speech to which but little reference had
been made, and yet it was one which appeared to be the
very cause of their being assembled on that cccasion—
(Flear)—viz., the state of commercial distress that had
recently prevailed. This question required more notice,
any
the part of some member of the Government, than
other subject demanded at the present crisis. Her
MajestY's Government had interfered in the subject of
the Act of 1844, and he thought they had wisely inter-
fered to avert al. impendingll calamity. Two members
of the Governmen,tw without
had proposed to. the Bank of England
promise
ehaotf wiandieehamit . t such suggestion, and without a
could not have done. 3 he g- directors of that institution
pa
erg expect that the Government
would have produced g. 14 and
ha documents as to this
event, and that the
that House for what the,had done. They asked II tehye

yet been given how far any arrangement of to sort had

been carried out—to what extent the Bank had acted •
on the suggestion.—(Hear.) He need not surely tell
so constitutional a man as the Noble Lord (Lord J.
Russell) that the act of raising money without the con-
sent of Parliament was highly unconstitutional. It had
been suggested in the public papers, that inasmuch as
the Act of 1844 had not actually been infringed, the
proposal to which he had referred would not have effect.
But they ought to have information on the whole matter.
—(Hear, hear.) He was sure he should receive from
one of her Majesty's Government some explanation as
to whether the House were to calulate on a renewal of
a measure similar to that of 1844, or whether her Ma-
jesty's Government would adopt some measure that
would prevent a recurrence of such a monetary crisis as
that through which the country was passing.—(Hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his
Right Hon. Friend must have forgotten his Parliamen-
tary practice, or he would not have expected that a dis-
cussion on monetary matters would be taken on the
amendment moved on an Irish subject. There wculd be
great inconvenience experienced if two different subjects
were mixed up together in the same debate. He (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) hoped, therefore, that he
should be excused for not having, on that occasion, made
a speech on financial matters.—(Hear, hear.) No doubt
he had come down to the House expecting that the con-
duct of the Government would be made the subject of
observation, and fully prepared to take part in the de-
bat,'; but, at that hour of the night, ho thought it
would be exceedingly inconvenient to do so. He would
be perfectly ready on Tuesday next, when a motion
would be before the House—a motion for the appointment
of a Committee to inquire into the Bill of 1844—and
which would afford a fair opportunity of discussing the
question. He would then fully state his views, and those
of the Government, on this question, if required.—
(Hear, hear.) He was glad to find that the course pur-
sued by "the Government, was approved of, And that it
had not led to an infringement of the law. That being
the case, the Government required no Bill of indemnity,
and, therefore, had no proposition on the subject to sub-
mit to the House. With regard to the correspondence
with the Bank, he should take the earliest opportunity
of explaining why that correspondence was not laid on
the table of the Reuse. There were now upwards of
10,250,0001. in the Bank, and that circumstance was
quite sufficient to inspire the commercial world with con-
fidence.—(Hear.)

Mr. J. U'CONNELL exp:essed his approval of the
course taken by the mover of the amendment, and hoped
the Government would be induced thereby to adopt Im-
mediate measures of relief for the people of Ireland.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the Address
was agrt ed to.

The Home adjourned at Five minutes past Twelve.

at a time when, notwithstanding her MAJESTY'S
assurance that " the pressure on the banking and
commercial interests has been mitigated," it is still
obvious that those interests are in a great measure
paralysed by debility and by a very rational want of
confidence ; and when, notwithstanding the assertion
of the same authority, to the effect that the late
abundant harvest " has alleviated the evils which
always accompany a want of employment in the
manufacturing districts," it is indisputable that
those evils are at this moment of an enormous
and imperative character. The agonies of her
position render Ireland blind to these facts—her
garrulity is redoubled—her importunities are more
than ever importunate. If we bear in recollection
the efforts of amelioration already made by the
Government—the grant of 10,000,000/.—the sup-
plies'of meal and other articles of nourishment trans-
mitted by the vessels of the State to the most impo-
verished districts—the benefactions ensured to the
destitute through the agency of a benignant poor-
law—and a variety of subordinate attempts to aid
Ireland in the midst of her late gigantic tribulations;
when we remember, moreover, the circumstances
that the Legislature consumed its time and its pa-
tience in the service of Ireland, and that
the nation perilled its commercial strength
and its financial credit in struggling to
extricate that portion of the United Kingdom
from its embarrassments—we shall be astounded to
hear the State accused of indifference and callousness
to the miseries of our fellow-countrymen.
That a cry of indignation should be raised by the
Irish Members at the proposed introduction of coer-
cive measures for Ireland is but natural. It is but
eatural that they should protest against the adoption
of a course which was formerly reprobated by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL. It is but natural that they should
threaten with discomfiture a scheme which led imme-
diately to the overthrow of the late Government ;
and that they should tax the present Cabinet
with a wilful and flagrant recalcitration. Until such
time as the authority entrusted to the Lord-Lieute-
nant shall have been tried and found insufficient for
the prevention of crime and the punishment of crimi-
nals, new measures of a coercive character will be
cruel and unpardonable. Even then those measures
of coercion should be preceded by others of a reforma-
tory nature, such as would tend to the diminution of
the incitements to crime, and to the alleviation of the
condition of the peasantry. That the majesty of
the law should be vindicated—that bloody as-
sassination should not flourish with impunity
—that the lives of the peaceable and un-
offending should meet with adequate protection—
that murderers should no longer awe the peasantry
into connivance with their guilt by the beck of their
ensanguined hands—that the history of the country
should not continue to be incarnardined with the
blood-stains of triumphant sin—are truths beyond all
denial or objection. Yet while her MAJESTY may
with perfect truth " lament that in some counties of
Ireland atrocious crimes have been committed, and that
a spirit of insubordination has manifested itself, leading
to an organized resistance of legal rights," Heaven
is the witness of those criminal peasants, that years of
wrong, and centuries of misgovernment have been
goading them on to those paroxysms of desperation !
Let us with a bold hand and a sagacious judgment
re-organise the social and political system of Ireland,
and agrarian assassinations will only survive in a
series of dismal recollections ! Let the Irish, in
truth, be placed upon an equality with ourselves,
and the Celtic Thugs will be no longer in existence.

The letter of the 25th of October, by which the
Bank Charter Act of 1844 was virtually suspended,
was yesterday withdrawn. The first day of actual
business by the new Parliament was that on which
the law that had been proved to be so deeply injurious
to the country was again restored. It appears, by the
Speech from the Throne, and also from the statements
made by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in the Upper,
and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in the
Lower House, that no infringement of the law has
actually taken place—that the directors did not avail
themselves of the powers bestowed upon them by that
letter. Whether the intimation, that any additional
profits which might thereby be gained should be con-
sidered applicable to public purposes, had anything to
do with that result, it is of course impossible for those
not in the secrets of the directors to say. They have
avoided the necessity of any application to the Legis
lature being made on their behalf, and the 8 per cent
interest, and the large gains thereby acquired, will
remain the property and swell the dividends of the
proprietors. We are now told " that the alarm has
subsided, that the pressure on the banking and com-
mercial interests has been mitigated," and the Finan-
cial Minister assures us, " that the reserve in the
Bank is now upwards of 5,000,0001., that the bullion
in her coffers amounts to 10,250,0001.," and adds,
" These circumstances are sufficient to inspire the
whole commercial world with confidence, and I do
not think that it is now necessary to continue that
letter, and may conclude by saying that her MA-
JESTY'S Government do not mean to apply
for further powers than Parliament would
be ready to give in case any emergency
should arise." We cannot, under such circum-
stances, conceive any reason why the directors should
so long have maintained a rate of interest so exor-
bitant and so ruinous to all the best interests of the
nation—acting as a positive prohibition to produc-
tion. Nor can we believe that the alarm has sub-
sided, or the pressure on the banking and commercial
interests been materially mitigated, while seven per
cent. is still the minimum rate of discount, a fact
which in itself is indicative of a state of panic, and of
serious derangement in the money market. The
Bank is now, however, left to its own discretion. The
directors are no longer fettered by the conditions
annexed to the Ministerial letter, and we may rea-
sonably look forward to very considerable reductions
being almost immediately announced.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has given
notice "that, on Tuesday next, he will move for a Com-
mittee to inquire into the causes of the recent com-
mercial distress, and how far that distress was affected
by the law regulating the issue of bank notes payable
on demand ;" and he has also promised, "that on
that day certainly, if not before, he will be ready to
go into a full statement of the views of the Govern-
ment, and to give the fullest explanations that the
House can desire." We must, therefore, be con-
tented to await that information which we had hoped
would have been afforded at the earliest
opportunity. If the Ministry are not prepared
to introduce measures on the knowledge already pos-
sessed of the baneful operation of our monetary code,
it is quite right that every additional light should be
thrown on the subject, and that intelligent and com-
petent persons should be invited to communicate the
results of their experience, in order that sound con.
elusions may be arrived at; but what is to be done in
the meantime ? Are matters to remain in what,
with all due respect for the Right Honourable
Baronet, we cannot help designating as their present
untoward state ? Is that Act, that has been proved
to be so wholly inefficacious, but which, on the Mi-
nisterial showing, has in a great degree led to the
fearful calamities we have witnessed, to be continued
Pending the inquiries of the Committee that may be
appointed ? A stronger condemnation of that law
could not be uttered than the simple recital of facts
by the Ministerial leader in the House of Lords.
The Noble Marquis stated " that if the dis-
tress had been confined to persons actually
in a state of insolvency, and if it had
been only that species of inconvenience which
must always, from time to time, follow upon
over-speculation, the Government would not have
felt justified in giving such advice. But when it
did appear that not only was there this amount of
insolvency in the country, and that a panic had
arisen from causes not very difficult to discover, but
that the most respectable, the most firm, the most solid
houses in the country were placed in a state of danger,
then the Government felt that the period had arrived
when they might give that advice which they had
offered to the Bank of England." Here, then,
is the direct admission that the most respect-
able and solvent houses in the country
were placed in jeopardy by the state of the
law, which involved them in the most imminent
dsnger —a law which, when financial affairs were in
vsas wholly useless and unavaiiingi
but wiiieh, when mitten Wtte in a worse coi.dthun,
led to all these evils, not merely from its actual ope-
ration, but still more from the fears it save

rise to, and the consequent depreciation of credit.
Let us learn, from the same high authority,
the consequence that followed its suspension. His
Lordship says, " The instant the advice of the
Government had been given to the Bank, the panic
had, without any violation of the law, subsided, and
there had been an increase of bullion in
the Bank from the amount he had just
named (a reserve of 1,600,0001.) to 3,208,0001.,
thus no less than one million of bullion had been
accumulated in the cellars of the Bank within so
short a space of time as fully to accomplish the
object at which the Government had aimed in their
interference."

With such conclusive evidence against this most
impolitic enactment, we trust that it may no longer
be retained on the statute-book, but that it may be
immediately repealed without waiting the result of
the proposed inquiry, or deciding what measure (if
any) shall be introduced as a substitute therefor.

The accounts from Switzerland bring no news
from Lucerne. The new Government of Friburg has
chosen Dr. BERCHTROLD as Chancellor. They have
reinstated the Communial Council, which was arbi-
trarily dissolved by the Jesuits in January last, and
have annulled all the acts of the late Council from the
time of the accession of the canton to the Sonderbund.
The house of the late Avoyer FOURNIER (a furious
partisan of the Jesuits) was pillaged by the Landsturm
of his own party, who are now outrageous against the
Jesuits, and their partisans for the deceptions which
they have practised upon them. Several chiefs of the
Sonderbund have been preserved from their fury by
the Federal troops. At Schwarzenbourg two Land-
stunners, who were about to return home, were heard
to swear that they would not.go to church for a year,
because they had been deceived by the priests. The
priests took to flight when the first shot was fired.
The Federalists are using their victory with great
moderation ; not a single arrest has been, or will be,
made on account of the past ; not a single Conserva-
tive has been insulted ; and the only disorders that
have been committed have been committed by the dis-
banded troops of the Sonderbund.
Madrid papers of the 16th have arrived.

Senor Mora was elected President of the Chamber
of Deputies on the 15th. lie had 135 votes ; Gene
ral EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL, 39; and Senors OLOZAGA,
BARONA, and TEJADA, one each. The Committee of
Afrancesados, charged to draw up articles of im-
peachment against SALAMANCA, have commenced their
labours.

MADRID BoLse., Nov. 16.—The Three per Cents. were
dor.e at 26i, at 50 days ; the Five per Cents., at 14i,
for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 4i ; and the
Coupons, at 11.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The withdrawal of M. Bois LE COMTE from
Switzerland is commented on in all of them, and
they all, with the exception of the Debats, justify
the conduct of the Swiss Government. The Union
Monarchique declares that M. Bois LE COMTE was
placed in the falsest of positions at Berne, in conse-
quence of the undecided conduct of M. GuizoT, who
sufrered him to remain accredited to the Diet, while
at the same time it was easy to see by his notes and
his proceedings that he leant towards the Sonder-
hund. The Presse, too, considers that under the
suspicious circumstances in which M. Bois LB UOMTE
was placed, the refusal "the safe conduct solicited
by him fur one of his secretaries for a mysterious
mission to Lucerne," is in no way astonishing. - The
Presse also combats the absurd position taken up
by M. GUIZOT, that the Ambassador was accre-
dited to the twenty-two cantons individually, and
declares that he is accredited to the Helvetic Govern.
ment, and cannot treat but by the intermediation of
the Vorort, and sneeringly asks what next is to be
done, since M. Bois LE COMTE has gone to Basle to
sulk. " All these embarrassments," says the Presse,
"are the consequences of an equivocal and shirking
policy which does not know clearly what it wants, or
what it aims at." The Constitutionnel considers the
surrender of Friburg without striking a blow as a
proof that the insurrection of the Sonderbund is
quite factitious, as its starting point is a series of
lies which have been propagated and encouraged, not
only by the Jesuits of Switzerland, but by the Go-
vernment of Austria, and by that of France.
Accounts from Algiers of the 11th announce the
arrival of the Duchess of AUMALE on that day. It
is said that Ann-EL-KADER has, through the inter-
vention of the Governor of Mellila, made new ad-
vances towards a treaty with France.
The number of persons injured by the accident on
the Orleans Railway is thirty; of these two are since
dead. A land slip to the extent of 100 yards has
taken place on the Rouen and Harm line, between
Beugeville and Niontot.

The Three per Cents. closed at 76f. 75c. ; New

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
DUNCAN V. BENSON.

The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this case
to-day. The ease arose upon a demurrer to a plea in
the first count of a declaration in assumpsit, brought by
the shipper of certain goods from Pernambuco to a
London agent, for the purpose of recovering from the
owner compensation for the loss he sustained in conse-
quence of damage to the ship by perils of the sea in a
foreign port, the master having properly hypothecated
for the due repairs of the vessel.
The case has been before the Court on several occa-
sion?, and his Lordship now decided that the judgment
should be entered for the plaintiff.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner BIILLOCIE.)
This Court sat this morning for hearing causes under
the Small Debts Act, but nothing of the slightest in-
terest transpired.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.'

(Before Mr. Justice ColTmeN.)

Thomas Stiff, a letter-carrier, having pleaded guilty
to an indictment for stealing a letter from the Post-office,
containing ten shillings, was sentenced to be transported
for twenty years.
James Mordan, Thomas Shires, and Thomas Cummins,
each eighteen years of age, were indicted for an assault
and robbery in King-street, Cheapside, on the 9th of
November last, during the Lord Mayor's procession.
The prosecutor, Mr. Richard Hibbs, stated that
on the day named he was turning from Lawrence-
lane into King-street, about the time of the procession,
when he was surrounded by a mob in which were the
three prisoners, who beat his hat over his eyes, and
knocked him down. In the scuffle his watch guard was
broken, and, together with his watch, was pulled away.
Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the prisoner Shires.
Mordan said that he was in the crowd, and that he
joined them in bonnetting Mr. Hibbs and others, but he
had nothing to do with the robbery.
Cummings denied that he had taken any part what-
ever in the riot.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty of the assault,
and not guilty of the robbery.
They were sentenced to six months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

•
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
Jane Bellard was indicted for stealing a gown, a
velvet shawl, and various other articles, the property of
Leonard George Needes.
The prosecutor was a pawnbroker, and on last Thurs•
day the prisoner went to his shop and stole the gown,
which she pledged at another pawnbroker's in the next
street ; and on the following Saturday she paid him
another visit, and took the shawl, which she disposed of
in a similar way.
She was found Guilty on both the charges, and sen-
tenced to two terms of imprisonment of three months,
and six weeks with hard labour, for each offence.

speech.—Brighton Guardian of this day.
The rumours at Westminster on the subject of the
illness of the Lord Chancellor were yesterday rather unfa-
vourable. It is stated that one of the consequences of the
inflammatory irrit,tinn, accomp9nying the severe cold with
which his Lordship ben afflicted, 'has been the rupture
of a with

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool yes-
terday. Sales, 3,000 bales. American advanced P. per
lb.—Railway Shares were firm.
It should be remarked that The Sun, with the Queen's
Speech, arrived in the City at about a quarter past two,
a most unprecedented instance of dispatch.
The Madagascar has arrived from the Cape of Good
Hope, with dates to the 25th of September. The
troops were on their march, and the Kafir chief
Maeomo was under strict sur►eillance, near to
Graham's Town. The flocks had been removed
to places of safety. It is stated that Sir Henry Pot-
tinger was in favour of Sir E. F. Young remaining as
Lieutenant• Governor of the Eastern Provinces.

The correspondence between the Government and
the Bank of England, which appeared in a Third Edi-
tion of The Sun of last night, has not caused
any remarks of consequence, nor has it affected the
Funds. Most parties connected with commerce and
trade in the City are at a loss in what department
there has been any such improvement as that noted in
the letter from Downing-street to the " Chairs " of the
Bank of England.
An account made out of the affairs of Mr. M. L,
Bensusan is before us, and certainly not a very favour-
able one ; indeed, it has been the subject of much con-
versation. The debts are 52,0161., and per contra there
is 3,951/, 16s. 6d. The accountant, Mr. James Hatton,
had, it is said, a difficult task to make out the statement.

The market for public securities has been very firm
this morning. Consols for the Account have reached
85k, and the same for Money. The proceedings in
Parliament last night were read with some satisfaction
in probably all points excepting those connected
with Ireland. The present value both for
Consols for Money and Time is 851 I. Exchequer-
bills are 2s. discount to par. Bank Stock opened at
189 to 187. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been sold at 8.1.
In the Foreign Stocks the bargains done to-day were,
in Chilian, at 89 ; in Mexican, at 15i ; in Spanish Five
per Cents., at 174 ; in the Three per Cents., at 284 ;
in the Venezuela, at 35. Dutch have advanced to
54 for the Two-and-a-Half per Cents., and in the
Four per Cent. Certificates to 83k.
The Railway Share Market is little
as
by the
approaching exposé of the Ministry as to extensions,
grants of further time, &c. The prices are very
variable.
