with inconsistency in the course then pursued for
the purpose of embarrassing the Government.
Every one, we take it, has a correct notion of what
Parliamentary inconsistency really is. Amidst all the
bickerings of faction, and all the potterings of party
politicians, that single thing has never elicited any 1
dissentience of opinion. It is not a vague idea which
maybe distorted by an adroit quirk ; it admits of
no misapprehension from the utmost obtuseness of
intellect. Inconsistency to the Conservative is iden-
tical with inconsistency to the Liberal ; it assumes no
novel or Protean aspect, whether viewed from the
Ministerial benches or the Opposition benches, or
from the pleasant locality below the gangway.
To proclaim for one principle and vote for another, is
inconsistency ; to avow such political doctrines one
evening and the very opposite the next, is inconsis-
tency. It is, we humbly conceive, inconsistent to
announce oneself an advocate for such commercial
justice to our colonial possessions as we believe
may most certainly ensure their mercantile pros-
perity, and immediately afterwards to thrust
upon the attention of the Legislature the advi-
sability of passing an Act of the most monstrous
and manifest injustice to those colonies. Such incon-
sistency is that with which we impeach Lord GEORGE
BENTINCK. To skin his proposition of its trans-
parent sophistry, and to produce it before the pub-
lic in its nakedness, it literally amounts to the
following :—" Because we have been unable to
administer our old quack panacea against the
disorders incident to colonial commerce, and
because you have placed the colonists under a
wholesome and natural regime, let us administer to
them a dose of the most deadly poison. England is
to be allowed, so it appears, to purchase her corn
and her sugar and what not in the cheapest markets ;
don't let her colonists purchase their manufactures
according to a similar discretion. England is no
longer compelled under a heavy penalty of duties to buy
timber from the Canadas ; nevertheless Canada must
still be compelled to buy calicoes at Manchester, and
cutlery at Sheffield, and needles at Whitechapel, and
gloves at Woodstock, no matter how much cheaper
or how much better the commodities which might be
purchased elsewhere. The exports of the colonies will
henceforth have to compete in cheapness and excellence
with the whole world ; their imports must, however,
be forced upon them at any extortionate price which
cupidity aided by monopoly may devise. We are,
upon my honour, very fond of our colonial posses-
sions, very fond indeed ; and as a testimony of our
regard to their prosperity, we here solemnly adjure
you to accede to our entreaty. They are now com-
pelled to send us good, cheap things, let us compen-
sate them for that concession, and at the same time
evince our unselfish regard to their interests, by
enabling ourselves to send them bad, dear things in
return !" Silly and preposterous as these expressions
may appear, they are literally the gist of this re-
doubtable proposition from the Noble Lord the Mem-
ber for Lynn. What by an egregious misnomer has
been hitherto designated " Protection to our Colo-
nies " being now virtually abolished, the Noble
Lord sagaciously demands the retention of that so-
called "Protection" to the manufacturers by whom
those unfortunate colonies are supplied.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK always has an accumula-
tion of the most astonishing and unheard-of statistics,
which he introduces for the purpose of bolstering up
his very eccentric schemes. Statistics, like the ar-
mour of a minor theatre, very showy, and apparently
trustworthy at the distance, but on examination,
all brown paper and tinfoil. On Saturday,
for example, on introducing his amendment, the Noble
Lord presented to the House an appalling narrative
of the condition of the manufacturing districts.
According to the Noble Lord, the ruler-turners had
received a heartless intimation of a decrease in
wages consequent, upon a decrease in the price
of provisions. According to him, farmers would
buy no more fire-irons or pickaxes, be-
cause wheat was falling to 40s. a quarter :
divers millowners had proclaimed a reduction of five
per cent. upon the wages of their workmen : circulars
',lora being issued by influential firms bewailing the
miserable stagiwa,,,, of trade. That was the lugu-
brious panorama displayed to the 3.1.,... of Commons
ably it was enough to make even the most
1 sanguine minds despondent. Fortunately, how-
-1 ever, a Member was present infinitely more
cognisant of the condition of the manufactories than
the Noble Lord, the representative of Lynn. And not
only did the Hon. Member for Durham cast dis-
credit upon the assertions of Lord GEORGE, but he
plainly and definitely contradicted each of his com-
prehensive statements. Wages had not been
reduced; the labouring classes were never in
the enjoyment of more comfort; provisions were
cheap, and employment was abundant. Those
were the revelations made by Mr. BRIGHT in regard
to the manufactories of Lancashire and Cheshire. We
suspect the manufactories described by Lord G.
1 BENTINCK were literally the manufactories of his
imagination.
Nevertheless, RIGHT and MIGHT appear now to be
co-operating in the legislation of this great em-
pire ; and, as we have previously congratulated
the inhabitants of the mother-country upon the
realisation of an equitable freedom to trade, so do
we now congratulate the inhabitants of her colonial
possessions upon the adjustment of a benefit which
had previously been only half obtained. In the
frivolous amendment of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK we
almost fancy we can perceive something more than
mere obstinacy. Did not the Noble Lord intend to
take a sweet revenge upon the manufacturing dis-
tricts by cursing them with the perpetuation of the
Totective system ?

frequently was avenged by the most outrageous
assaults on the person unable duly to respond on
being interrogated. Not a meeting could take place,
whether for business or pleasure without the public
peace being broken, the public tranquillity dis-
turbed by contests and fights between the opposing
factions—human life too frequently became the
sacrifice, and riot and bloodshed affixed a stain
on the locality. Of late years the superior classes
have seen the folly of these exhibitions. On the
passing of the Act for the Suppression of Secret So-
cieties (one of the most beneficial, for Ireland gene-
rally, that could be brought forward), the Grand
Orange Lodge, in obedience to the dictates of the
law, declared the dissolution of the society ; and the
better disposed and more prudent of its members
withdrew from all further communion therewith.
Unfortunately the more violent members, who
were well aware of the influence and power
which the system gave them among their
poorer brethren, did not exhibit the same obedience
to the law, the same wise submission ; they set aside
the opinion of the majority, adopted steps to evade
the law that pronounced their body an illegal one,
and throughout the entire country denounced the
seceders as traitors to the cause : there was no longer
anything of discretion or judgment in the pro-
ceedings of the society ; those qualified to
counsel were no longer of them, and their
every act exhibited the grossest folly, the
most unceasing obstinacy and mental blind-
ness. The Party Processions Act for a time
mitigated the evil, but it was not without the
greatest exertions on the part of the Executive that
the processions were kept down. Strange as it may
appear, vast bodies of the people were prepared to
undergo severe punishments and stringent penalties,
rather than consent to refrain from the comme-
moration of events long since past and gone—
the celebration of the triumph of principles
that happily no longer prevail. A juster, a more
equitable principle has been enunciated. Ireland is
henceforward to be placed on a footing of perfect
equality with England in her civil, political, and mu-
nicipal institutions. No man hereafter is to be the
sufferer for the religious feelings he may conscien-
tiously entertain, and every man will be allowed to wor-
ship his CREATOR in the manner which he deems the most
correct, and opinion will no longer be controlled by
penal enactments or civil or religious disabilities. It
is, then, the duty of a Government, extending tole-
rance to all, to take care that insults shall no longer
be offered to any, and to interpose their authority
for the prevention of such ridiculous, but injurious
proceedings. In the language of the County Cavan
memorial, there is yet time, during the present ses-
sion, for the passing of such enactment. We cannot sup-
pose that opposition would be offered from any quarter,
and if it should be neglected, muck mischief may
occur during the ensuing recess, which it may take
many years to remedy, and a serious responsibility
will be incurred by the Government. We place every
confidence in the good intentions of our present
Administration, and we sincerely hope that measures
will be adopted ;by which the majesty of the law
may be vindicated, the peace of the country may be
preserved.

The following is an extract of a letter from Con-
stantinople of the 29th of July :
" Great changes are soon expected in the Turkish Ca-
binet. The present Minister of Finance, Hafiz Pacha, is
to be replaced the first, and then the Grand Seraskier,
Kosrew Pacha. The successor to Hafiz is not yet known,
but for the post of Seraskier, it is Riza Pacha, who is gene-
rally designated. It may even be admitted as certain that
Riza Pacha, in place of being named Minister of Finance,
would have been at once appointed Seraskier, had * nob been
for the arrival of Mehemet Ali. You are aware that the
Viceroy of Egypt and Kosrew Pacha are old enemies ; the
dismissal of Kosrew occurring at the same moment as the
arrival of the Pacha of Egypt would have been interpreted
as a desire to flatter his sentiments, and that is what the
Government wishes to avoid. The dismissal of Hafiz and
Kosrew will not certainly be disagreeable to Reschid Pacha,
for since his accession to the Ministry he has constantly been
on bad terms with these two Ministers. They belong to the
old school of corruption, and each act of their life is in
flagrant opposition to the principles which Reschid Pacha at
present represents. In Turkey, M. de Bourqueney had assured
Sir S. Canning that he agreed perfectly with him in the pro-
test which he had made, as senior of the diplomatic corps,
against the nomination of Riza Pacha to the finance depart-
ment. The Internuncio of Austria also used strong language
on this occasion."

Several towns having petitioned the POPE to with-
draw from the Jesuits the monopoly of education,
which they have hitherto enjoyed, his Holiness decided
that, at the re-opening of the schools in November,
secular priests, chosen amongst those who offer satis-
factory guarantees of morality and capacity, should
replace the Jesuits, wherever the mayors of towns and
bishops should think it advisable. This declaration
of the POPE produced such a sensation, even amongst
the people of Rome, that his Holiness, in proceeding
to the Jesuits' church, on St. Ignatius' day, to hear
mass, was greeted with cries of " Accept nothing
from these men, they are quite capable of giving you it
boccone !" (poison.)
His Holiness has dismissed M. MArtutr, the
Governor of Rome, for having attempted to prevent
the director of the opera from representing The
Clemency of Titus.
The POPE has sent a Vicar-General to Imola,

Accounts from Berlin state that the labours of the
Congress of the Zollverein, sitting in that city, were
nearly terminated, but that the difficulties raised in
the last Congress of Carlsruhe have been renewed,
and no solution could consequently be effected. The
southern states of Germany had protested anew against
all increase in the tariff duties on cotton threads, whilst
the northern states claimed that augmentation as
indispensable for the prosperity of their manu-
factures. The Prussian Government, thus placed
between the prohibitive system, and the system of
free trade, will, it is said, confine itself to publishing,
after the close of the session of the Congress, an im-
partial statement of the debates, in order to prove to
the merchants, manufacturers, and agriculturists of
Germany, that the long desired solution of these
questions can only be arrived at when the general
interest shall have succeeded in triumphing over pri-
vate interests.

The memorial just presented to the Irish Govern-
ment by the leading magistrates and clergymen of
the county Cavan, is deserving of immediate atten-
tion—of the promptest consideration. It is gratify-
ing to find men of the most opposite political feelings
at length uniting together, and joining zealously in
their exertions for the abolition of that which is now
admitted to be a most serious evil, leading to the
worst results, and keeping up those religious dissen-
sions and animosities that have ever been pro-
ductive of the most injurious consequences.
Amongst our Irish brethren we find Lord FARNHAM,
formerly one of the grand officers and most influential
members of the Orange Institution, one of the chief
resident landed proprietors in the county of Cavan,
co-operating with Dr. BROWNE, the Roman Catholic
bishop of the diocese, and impressing, in the most
forcible manner, on the minds of the Execu-
tive, the absolute, the imperative necessity
of urging Parliament to pass an Act against
processions of all descriptions whatever, stating
that the excitement which unhappily exists in several
parts of the country has arisen from the most trivial
causes, but still that the most fatal consequences
may ensue ; that there is still time, during the
present session, to pass the necessary enactment,
and urging it as the only remedy for the evil.
In addition to those whose names we have already
mentioned, this memorial has been most numerously
and influentially signed by magistrates, clergymen,
and gentry of all shades and varieties of politics,
and we sincerely hope
t that not a single measure
will
be lost in submitting o the Legislature a
calculated to effect this object. The county of Cavan
has long been the theatre of those unmeaning and
mischievous processions. In that district parties are
perhaps more evenly balanced, more near equality as
to physical force, than in any other in Ireland.
The Orange party lost no opportuuity of swelling
their own ranks ; neutrality was not allowed on either
side. You must select the banner under which to
fight, and strenuously combat on all occasions. It
was impossible to conciliate the good opinion of the
opposite party ; the terms Orange and Protestant be-
came synonimous, and the more violent the denun-
ciation, the more outrageous the insult, the more
bitter the hatred entertained and exhibited towards
his Roman Catholic brethren, the more popular did
the exhibitor become amongst his own party. The man
who was not with them was against them, but he who
could succeed in making himself peculiarly obnoxious
to the Roman Catholic party, thereby, immediately
attained power and influence amor.gst his own. On
the other side also parties were not idle. If Orange
lodges subsisted, so was tiler* Ribbon Association
organised, and offences that disgraced the country
had their origin in the party feuds, the religious dif-
ferences thus created and kept up ; secret signs and
pass words were made use of, by which the members
of either confederacy became known to their
associates, and the ignorance of these secrets too

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-

has been received from Lisbon, of the 10th. The

permit Spain to invade the Portuguese territory
on any of the pretexts hitherto put forward. The
Miguelites, meanwhile, are endeavouring to turn
any confusion that may arise to their own profit.
General MACDONNELL, an active Miguelite partisan,
was known to be in the province of Tras-os-Montes,
endeavouring to excite an outbreak. Some of the
officers of the Albion have, at the request of Lord
HOWARD DE WALDEN, been dispatched to the frontier
to observe the movements of the Spanish troops.
Their presence will afford a guarantee to the Portu-
guese that England will not quietly allow Spain to
invade their country.
Great complaints were made in Lisbon of the
scarcity and dearness of bread and oil. A monetary
crisis seems at hand. The discount on Bank of
Lisbon notes had at one time risen as high as 15
per cent. The bank directors have, however, issued
notice to the following effect :-
1. That all persons willing to capitalise the notes they
hold will be allowed interest at the rate of 9 per cent., pay.

the ladies and gentlemen of the royal suite, attended Divine
Service on Sunday afternoon in Whippingham Church. The
royal party afterwards took a drive towards Newport and

In the evening her Royal Highness's town tradesmen il-
luminated, and dined together at the King's Arms, Kensing-
ton, her Royal Highness having most liberally supplied them

Madrid papers to the 10th August have been re-
ceived. _ _

The return of NARYAEZ to Madrid may be shortly
expected. The Esperanza states that his petition to
the QUEEN for permission to return is warmly sup-
ported by the French Government, and therefore
there is every reason to believe that it will be
granted. Several persons have been arrested at
Cordova, charged with being concerned in a Carlist
conspiracy. The Eco del Comerio repeats the
rumour that the Government bad ordered all the
troops to retire from the Portuguese frontier, and the
Clamor Publico again asserts that GONZALES BRAVO
has been recalled.

M. SAUZET is the Ministerial candidate for the
Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. " We trust,'

says the Journal des Dgbals,
" That no member of the majority will attempt to create a
division by supporting any other candidate, which certainly
would lead to no result. M. Sauzet is the candidate of the
Conservative:party, and to vote for any other Deputy would
be voting for a candidate of the Opposition. Let every one,
therefore, make a sacrifice of his pretensions and private
preferences! There are, no doubt, amongst the majority
several eminent men who might divide the suffrages of the
Chambers, if M. Sauzet was not, as it were, in possession of
them. It is of importance to-day that the first political
vote of the Conservative party should be an unanimous one.
We are bound in justice to declare, that though other Depu-
ties might make as good presidents as M. Sauzet, yet the
Chamber would not easily find a more faithful and more
devoted one."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa
turday, but without any alteration in prices. Shares were
firm generally.
It is understood that the emigration from this country in
the course of the present year, although not perhaps so
great as on several previous seasons, will still be very large,
and principally to the British North American colonies and
the United States. As respects the South Australian colo-
nies, there are but few data to arrive at any definitive con-
clusion as to the number of settlers who have proceeded in
that direction. As connected with this important subject,
it is worth notice that the " bounty system," still pur-
sued by Government, though objected to by most practical
men, is continued. This system, in principle, is said
to be objectionable, and practically works injury to the ship-
ping interests of the country. It is considered most
consistent and advantageous that engagements for the
conveyance of emigrants for the Government should
be made by the shipowner directly with the department in
whom the superintendence of emigration is vested. The late
Colonial Secretary was opposed to any alteration, upon the
general ground " that her Majesty's Government must be
guided by the circumstances and the wants of the different
colonies to which emigration may be proceeding." However,
the shipping interest, it is understood, intend to press the sub-
ject upon the present Colonial Secretary, through their Com-
mittee. It is a matter of very considerable importance, not
only to the shipowner, but to emigrants, as well as the
colonial interests.
Much interest is taken in the City relative to the promised
exposé of Lord John Russell, in Parliament this evening, of
the measures his Lordship intends to propose to alleviate
distress in Ireland. Some bold and comprehensive steps, it
is admitted on all hands, must be adopted to procure other
food than potatoes for the destitute poor of that country, as it is
now in vain to calculate upon any liberal supplies of the
esculent either from England, the Continent, or the British
colonies, in all of which, or very nearly so, the disease is ex-'
tending far and wide. The calamity has rather tended to
depress the mercantile classes here.
The following extract from a communication from New
York is of interest at the present moment, as exhibiting the
feeling of the merchants there of the probable working of
the new tariff:—
" The passage of the ad valorem Tariff Bill has created con-
siderable activity at the Custom-house, and everyone appears
to be in a great hurry to get their goods through and into
the market. The cash entries have been unusually large.
We have no doubt but that the month of August will be a
very busy month at the Custom-house, in the way of entries
for importation ; and after that the principal business will be
entries for exportation, as an immense quantity of foreign
merchandise will be exported during the months of October
and November, for the benefit of drawback and re-impor-
tation under the reduced rate of duty.
"The importation of foreign merchandise, after the Ist of
October. until the new tarif goes into operation, will be ex-
tremely limited, and only to the extent of the actual and im-
mediate demand for consumption, and only in instances where
there will be, after the Ist December, an increased duty. The
revenue from Customs from this to December Ist, will be very
small, while the expenditures are going on at the rate of
several hundred thousand dollars per day. The ten millions
surplus and the ten millions Treasury notes will be expended
long before that time. The expenditure of that amount has
already been incurred, but as yet the payments have not
been made; when the drafts come for the money, the depo-
sits to the credit of the Government in our banks will be
swept away very rapidly."

for the market a who suffered by the
late storm is respectably attended. His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge took the chair. A good subscription
is anticipated.
Consols for the Account have been fiat this morning at
953%. For to-morrow Money Stock has fallen to 951/2, but a
rally has since taken place to 9534. Exchequer-bills have
fluctuated from 85. to 12s. premium. The Reduced Three
per Cents. have receded to 96, and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter to 953,4.
There has been a further fluctuation in the Portuguse Four
per Cents. this morning. On Saturday afternoon the current
value was 421/ • the opening price this morning was 43,
but the Bonds have just dropped to 411,4 34. It is difficult to
account for these changes. Spanish Consols are flat at 25%,
and the Three per Cents at 361/g %. The Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents are at 591/2 ; Mexican at 23%, and New
Brazilian Bonds at 87.
The Railway Share market is pretty steady this morning,
prices are much the same as on Saturday.
BRITISH FUNDS. ONE
O'CLOCK.

On Friday evening an accident of a trifling nature
occurred on the Versailles Railway. The following
account is from the Gazette des Tribunaux :

" The mail train from Paris to Rouen leaves at twenty-
five minutes past seven, and the train for St. Germains at
twenty-five minutes to eight. The Rouen train had scarcely
left the station when the engineer, perceiving that the
engine worked badly, stopped at the Batignolles,
either to change it or take a second engine.
The conductor of the Versailles train, which started
five minutes after the Rouen train, having perceived the
signal for stopping, slackened his speed, and stopped
the train a short distance from the Rouen one. But the
train of St. Germains coming up, and the engineer being
unable to arrest its progress in time, both came in violent
contact with each other. We have not yet learnt the full
particulars of the accident, but from what has already
reached us it would appear that the passengers escaped with
only slight contusions. A single passenger alone was se-
riously wounded, and which entirely resulted from his leaping
from the top of a carriage. As soon as the alarm and con-
fusion had subsided, the passengers resumed their seats in the
carriages, and the three trains continued their course."

THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snt,—A paragraph having appeared in the Sunday Times
of yesterday to the following effect :
" The Princess's Theatre, it is is said, will close on Satur-
day next. Notwithstanding the attraction of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Mathews, the house has been very indifferent of
late,"
I beg most distinctly to state, in order to prevent any
portion of the public being misled by so unfounded and ill-
natured a representation, that this theatre will remain open
every evening.
The insertion of the above in your valuable journal will
greatly oblige Your moat obedient Servant,

ADELP FATRE.
A vinous ouriesque (trom tile proiinc pen ot beiuy)
Jugement de Paris, and Le Pas des Deesses' was produced at
the Adelphi last night, under the title of The Judgment of
Paris, or The Pas de Pippins. The getting up is magnificent,
the scenery and costumes splendid, and the burlesque itself
full of broad fun. Ryan, Paul Bedford, and Wright are the
three goddesses. Glorious Paul, as Juno, appears riding on
a peacock, and is turned round a la Keller, on a pedestal,
the spread tail of the peacock appearing as
though it were part of Juno's proper person; and Wright,
as Venus, rises from the sea, after the most
approved manner of the Hall of Rome. The Pas de Pippins
was superb; Wright's imitation of Taglioni was most close,
and at the same time most ludicrous. He was encored as a
matter of course, and his mineing and deesse-like manner
of advancing towards the orchestra, for the purpose
when and where to recommence the music, was most rich
caricature, and elicited roars of laughter. Then the bouquets
were showered in such profusion that Mercury was obliged
to gather them up, and trundle them off in a wheelbarrow,
and at the conclusion there was a second shower, which the
goddesses gathered into their aprons. The costumes
were grotesquely classical, all save that of Jupiter,
who appeared as Young England, in blue dress-coat and
metal buttons, white satin waistcoat, black silk stockings,
and smalls. The bill of fare—furnished by Soyer, of course—
was full of fun. Some of the best jokes, however, were too
recherché for the audience; for instance, Alouettes ( Larks )
ala Waterford, passed unnoticed. The dances are admirably
arranged; and some of them, the dance of the houris for instance
exceedingly graceful ; and one or two beautiful melodies are
introduced, which are tastefully sung by Miss Marian Taylor.
This burlesque is a palpable hit—as great a hit as the original.
The House was crowded to suffocation, and will continue to
be so every night that the Judgment of Paris is acted, for
months to come.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YEsTERDAY.
The most striking feature in the St. Leger betting yester-
day afternoon was the advance of Brocardo and Sting; both
were in great request at an improvement of several points on

certainly a very taking and attractive name for a work of
fiction, and promises much of that pathos and sentimentality
which often afford so pleasant a contrast to the stirring
inci-
dents of peril, or the black deeds of crime, which usually
form the elements of such tales. The novel will be read and
admired by a large class ; the lovers of animated fiction will
dwell upon its pages with delight, and, its popularity will
have a longer existence than the generality of three-volume
tales are known to enjoy. The profound, sincere, and almost
idolatrous, passion of Hartley is beautifully described ; and,
as the author possesses great command of language, her
graphic pen depicts those refinements and delicate points in
the human mind with great effect. Sir Frederic Cleveland,
the great landowner in Devon, is a well-drawn character.—_

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE TNAMES.—Coombes and

THE IRON TRADE OF SOUTH
STAFFORDSHIRE.—
The iron trade of South Staffordshire is now in a more flou-
rishing condition than it has been for some time. Orders
have been pouring in from all quarters for railway iron. A
contract has just been made by several of our large iron-
masters for 8,000 tons of iron for the great Menai Strait
Bridge, in connexion with the Chester and Holyhead Rail-
way.
EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE.—The weaving trade in
Scotland has sensibly improved since the passing of the

HOUSE OF LORDS, August 17.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Wool-
nck at Five o'clock.

Messengers from the Commons brought up scveral
Bills, praying their Lordships' concurrence.
Lord FAVERSHAM presented a petition from the
West Riding of Yorkshire, praying fur the repeal of the
Poor law Amendment Ac;.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.
On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE,
this Bill was read a first time.
MAYNOOTH.
Lord REDESDALE, in pursuance of the notice which
he had given the other day, with respect to this College,
felt bound to make a few observatik ns respecting it,
and on the report of the visitors. He would remind
their Lordships of the arguments made use of for the ad-
ditional grant to that institution. That grant was very un-
popular with a large portion of the people, and one of the
reasons by which their objections were reet was, that in-
stead Gran nsufficient vi itation, there would be a complete
inquiry into the whole of the proceedings of the esta-
blishment ; but he was sorry to say that the report
of the last visitation was most meagre and unsatis-
factory, and very contradictory in itself, This report
stated, that on the visitors calling for the number of
reid.mts, they found 19 superiors and professors, 522
students, one professor absent on leave, and 10 students
absent from sickness ; but he found from the books of
the College that there were only 512 students on the
books, instead of 522, and only eight on the sick list
instead often, as stated in the report. Now with respect
to the professors, there was a grant of 6,0001. additional,
but only 4,5001. had been used, allowing a very sufficient
margin for any contingency ; yet nothing whatever was
said of the absent professor, who or what he
was. Then with regard to the students, it ap-
pears that there were 262 in the first class, and 241
in the second. With respect to the first class, there was
an allowance of 20/., of which nothing whatever was
said. The same was the case with regard to the Dun-
boyne students. It was also stated, that the number of
these students had been increased from fourteen to
twenty. Why, the number of this class was always
twenty, and was so stated in the Act of Parliament.
Then, with regard to accommodation, it appeared that
that there were 552, with a room each to themselves.
There were twenty-nine apartments where there were
three in a room, twenty-nine where were four, and one
where there were six. And, considering the early age
at which these students are admitted—sixteen or seven-
teen years of age—it did not seem to be so objection-
able to put several into a room as it would have been if
they were older. It appeared, also, that 200 of the free
students had been taken off from their own expenses.
In fact, the whole of the report was meagre in the ex-
treme. The visitors appear to have passed through
the rooms, and that was all, but as for any care for
an improvement in the state of education, that was a
matter entirely overlooked; and unless some measures
were taken for acting up to the principle for which the
grant had been made, the country would be very dissatis-
fied with the grant which they had authorised. He did
not think a six hours' visitation was sufficient for such an
institution as the present.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that in the
absence of the two Noble Lords who were appointed
as visitors to the institution, he could not pretend to
reeoncile the discrepancies pointed out by the Noble
Lord. He thought that it was very probable that
the attention of the Government of Ireland
and of the visitors would be called more closely to the
subject, in consequence of the observations of the Noble
Lord. He was happy to see, by a statement in the re-
port—which his Noble Friend had overlooked—that a
great improvement had taken place in the course of edu-
cation, and that a more liberal system of education had
taken the place of the former one.
Lord STRANGFORD pointed out some further dis-
crepancies in the report.
After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE
and Lord REDESDALE, the subj,Tt dropped.
SHANNON NAVIGATION BILL.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that he did
not think it desirable to proceed further with this Bill
during the present session.
The Bill was accordingly withdrawn.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented a petition from
the magistrates of Oxford, complaininv.; of the establish-
ment of beer shops, affording refuges to the worst of
characters.
