allowed to 'suspend the constitution, he implored them
to look the evils of Ireland strongly in the faee. Ire-
land was now held as a garrison, and that expense fell
as a punishment upon England, by which they were
running the risk of bringing England to the state of
Ireland. Let them sit from to clay day, and devise
measures for Ireland—improve the state of the Church,
and extend the franchise, which was far too limited.
lie asked the Government to turn their attention to
the grand jury cess and the municipal corporations.
He for one would cordially support her Majesty's Mi-
nisters in bringing forward this measure. Judging from
the, last speech of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member
for Tamworth before he went out of office, it was his
opinion that great social improvements were necessary,
and he (Mr. Hume) now only regretted that the mea-
-1 sures which the Right Hon. Baronet had in view to ame-
liorate the condition of that country had not been carried
into effect.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Divide.")
Mr. NEW DEGATE gave her Majesty's Government
his most unqualified support. He would not have in
terrupted the progress of the debate, except that he felt
it necessary to say that the measure .of the Government
was absolutely required for the preservation of peace in
Ireland. He looked upon it as a great measure, and
one which was entirely unexceptionable.—(Loud cheers,
and cries of" Divide.")
Mr. GROGAN said, in the name of the laborious
and industrious classes in the city of Dublin, he begged
to return his thanks to the Government, for having at
length determined to graPpie with this monster agita •
tion, which had kept the whole "country in a state of
uneasiness and apprehension, which had paralysed trade,
put a stop to employment, and brought thousands to a
state of poverty and bankruptcy.—(Hear, hear.) He
regretted that the Government had delayed so long be-
fore bringing in the measure, but he would say
" better late than never." It was on the ground of
humanity to the humbler classes, those poor deluded
persons who had become members of clubs, and
of a revolutionary army who would unfortu-
nately be punished for their misdoings, that he
regretted that the measure had not been intro-
duced earlier. He would conclude by making one
observation. There were a great number of
Lord-Lieutenants and Deputy-Lieutenants of Irish
counties at present in this country, and he trusted that
the Government would call upon them to return to their
respective counties, in order to aid the Government in
their endeavours to suppress disturbances.
Mr. REYNOLDS said he represented another por-
tion of the inhabitants of Dublin, and be begged to
enter his entire dissent to the measure which had
been introduced to the House. Although not dis-
posed to pursue a vexatious course, he was prepared
to vote against it in all its stages, and he hoped they
might be long and tedious.—(Laughter.) If the Bill
were passed, as no doubt it would, he would prophecy that
it would be inoperative and altogether a failure. It
would increase the discontent and dissatisfaction which
now existed, multiply the number of Repealers, and
convert men to the doctrine of repeal who had previ-
ously held entirely aloof from it. He disclaimed osi the
part of the Repealers of Ireland that they participated
in any of those doctrines which had been imputed to them.
He could not conclude his address without recalline,
the recollection of the House to the declaration or the
Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tarn-
worth upon going out of office, that Ireland could
no longer be governed by coercion, and if the Right
Honourable Baronet were sincere in that opinion,
he now called upon him to come forward and assist in
governing Ireland by conciliation.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. MUNTZ rose to ask the Honourable Gen-
tleman the Member for Rochdale to withdraw his
amendment.—(Hear, hear.) It could do no good
to the people, God knew they were in a dreadiully
miserable state, and he wished he could find an excuse
for opposing this Bill. The truth was, however, the
present disturbances in Ireland were crippling her trade,
and he felt bound togive this additional power to her Ma-
jesty's Ministers.'4 would be, however, upon the condition
that they at once 'set about• considering what remedial
meastires'eould be applied to Ireland. Two years ago
he suggested to them the propriety of setting the poor
to work.upon the waste lands, but his suggestions had
never been adopted by Government. He must
therefore tell them now that, if after the passing of this
Bill, they did not apply conciliatory measures to Ireland,
he would never give them his support again.
Sir H. W. BARRON regretted that this measure
had been so long delayed, but upon the principle
of better late than never, he hailed the introduction of
this Bill with the utmost satisfaction, and he could assure
the House that feeling was participated by the majority of
the inhabitants of the south of Ireland.—(Hear.) Nay,
more, he would venture to say that many of the
parties who had joined in this movement would rejoice at
the passing of this Bill. They wanted something to
enable them to back out, for they felt they had gone too
far; and he was quite sure that they, as well as the
great mass of the Irish people, would hail this Bill as
an act of mercy.

After a few-words from Colonel DUNNE, who sup
ported the Bill, not, however, upon the case made ou
by the Government, but upon the strength of informa.
Lion he had received from Ireland.
After a few words from Mr. SCULLY,
The House divided, when there appeared—
For Mr. Crawford's amendment... 8
Against it
Majority against the amendment... --263

Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then brought in the Bill,
which was read a first time. The Noble Lord expressed .a
hope that the House would allow the Bill to go
through all its stages and pass it immediately.
After some short discussion, the standing orders were
suspended, and the Bill was read a second time.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in Committee on the Bill,
stated that the only alteration from the Bill of 1822
was the omission of the clause with respect to Members
of Parliament.

Mr B. OSBORNE moved that the Bill should only ex-
tend to the Ist September, 1848, and nOt Ist March, 1849.
The motion after some discussion was withdrawn,
the Bill passed through Committee, and was read a
third time and passed.

The House then adjourned shortly before Seven
o'clock.

Major-General W. Rowan, C. 8., has been ap-
pointed to the Staff of the Army in Canada, in succession
to Major-General Sir R. Armstrong who has resigned.
Major-General Rowan served with the 52nd Regiment
in Sicily, in the years 1806 and 1807. He subsequently
proceeded on the expedition to Sweden in 1808 ; went
again to the Peninsula, under Sir John Moore, in
1808 and 1809, and was also at Walcheren in 1809,
including the bombardment and surrender of Flushing.
During the first half-year of 1811 the Major-General
was in Portugal, and was present at the action of
Sabugal. From the begining of January 1813, to the
close of the war in 1814, he served in the Peninsula
and the South of France, sharing in the battles of
Vittoria, the Bidassoa, the Nivelle, Nive, Ortheus, and
Toulouse. He concluded an active career at Waterloo.
where he received the Brevet Rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
—United Service Gazette.

Major-General P. Bainbrigge, commanding the
Belfast District. has succeeded to the increased pav of
twenty-five shillings pez diem, from the 4th instant. The
name of Major-General Bainbrigge has long been known
to the army in connexion with activity and efficiency in
the Quartermaster-General's department. He served in
the Peninsula in that department from 1810 to 1814, when
the war was brought to a close. He was present at most of
the great actions in the Peninsula, including Torres
Vedras, °livens's, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, Salamanca,
Burgos, Vittoria, and the Pyrenees, San Sebastian. the
Nive, and many smaller affairs, dowa:to Toulousa.—lbd.

Rifles and 89th Regiment are under orders to proceed
from the Northern District to Dublin, and to be relieved
by the 33d from Edinburgh, and the 90th Light Infantry
from Chatham. The 17th Regiment is to leave Ports-
mouth for Chatham. Four Companies of the 62d, under
the command of Major Goode, passed through London

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.---OR Friday an in-
quiry, adjourned from Monday last, was resumed and
concluded before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on
view of the body of Christopher Broderick, aged 28, a
journeyman tailor, who is alleged to have died of in.
uries inflicted by a man named John Donovan. It ap-
peared that on the night of the 26th of June, deceased,
who was in liquor, was going along the East India
Dock-road, Poplar, when a man, named John Donovan,
came out of a court and knocked his hat off. Deceased
went up to Donovan and tried to kick him, Donovan
then gave deceased a violent blow on his forehead with
a brick-bat, or stone, which knocked him down, and in-
flicted a deep gash over the left eye. He was taken up
in a state of insensibility, and, after having been seen
by a medical gentleman, was removed to the London
Hospital. He went on favourably till the 6th instant,
when erysipelas came in the wound, and led to his death
on Friday last. Deceased resided at a common lodging
house in George-street, Whitechapel. Verdict " Man-
slaughter against John Donovan," who loft his lodgings
immediately after the assault, and who: has not been
heard of since.

AN ACTIVE WOMAN.—On Wednesday last, a
woman named Foley, who had only arri►ed from Ireland
on the preceding day, was brought to the police-office on
the charge of pocket-picking. She was liberated on
Thursday forenoon, however, for want of suffi-
cient evidence, and within an hour afterwards
gave birth to an infant, in a court off Bell-street,
from which she was removed to a place of
shelter. On Saturday morning the woman, accompanied
by her child, called at the police office to make inquiry
regarding a relation, and on the same evening she was
again lodged in the office, on three separate charges of
picking pockets, which bad been committed during the
day. This indefatigable personage and her infant re-
main, of course, in custody till liberated in due course of
law.—Glasgow !Jerald.
The Chairman of the Customs had an interview with
