Mr. W. S. O'Brien—That with a view to diminish the

olnee in Irektnd.
Colonel Stbtharp —Return of the documents upon

taterne-a, tzii the 14th of February, 1845, Of the &enema
,f the rercteue anticipated by him on the sth day of
April, 1846.
Mr. W. S. O'l3rien-1. That it appears from the re-
cords of this House, that several royal commissions have
;Tom time -to time been constituted un.:er the advice of
,uocessive Ntinist: ies, and that many S lect Committees
nave been appointed by this House, for the purpose
ef ingairin g into various subjects connected with
the interest ; of Ireland, with a View to the improve-
nent of theit country. That sueh Commissions and
7,,mmittees have laid before Perliarnent a le, eat
number of suggestions, des-geed to improve the c ,a-
dition of the Irish people, whica have never been carried
into effect. T. eatarnongst the most recant instances which
may be adciu cei in support of this assertion, it appears
chat a royal commission appointed for the purpose of
,nquiring int i the state of the law and practice in respect
to the occupation of land in Ireland laid before Parlia-
ment early an the year 1845 nearly fifty specific recom.
inendations, the adoption of which has not yet been pro-
posed to this House by the Government which nominated
that commie sion. 4. That to institute solenin inquiries
ieithout any intention of realising useful results from
them, is not only a waste of public money, but is a de-
lusive na„e ry, cherishing hope only to disappoint it ;
:which is caioulated to excite just indignation on the part
if the people of Ireland ; and that it is, therefore, the
ut..v of Go vernment to submit to the consideration of
parlifim,nr.,, with the authority and influence which
Government alone can command, such useful measures
.4s may have been recommended by the com-
missions which they have appointed. 5. That
'he press in Administration has voluntarily crip-
pled its power of effecting useful legislation
or Ireland,, by advising her Majesty to fill the offices of
Chief Seen Am.)", Attorney-General, and Solicitor General
or Ireland with individuals who, not possessing the con-
fidence of .sily constituency in the United Kingdom, are
xcluded from Parliament. 6. That, under these cir-
cumstance.:, it is expedient that this House should ap-
point a Co; Timittee, for the purpose of considering which
)f the measures relating to Ireland, recommended by
such commissions and Committees, may be beneficially,
made the so lbject of legislation during the present see-
sion; and tha,t the assistance of the public officers of the
several depser tments should be afforded in framing and
giving effoct .to ouch measures.

this House has not tailed to ooserve that there is not at
present amongst the confidential advisers of her Majesty
any Minister of State who, by residence or immediate
personal connexion with that country, is acquainted
with its existing condition; that the local Government
has been confided to persons who have been perfect
strangers to Ireland, until appointed to exercise the
highest and most responsible functions in that
kingdom ; that Irishmen appear to have been
of late years systematically excluded not only from
participation in the general Government of the Empire,
but even from control over the several departments
of local administration in their native land ; and
that, under these circumstances, it is not surprising that
there should be found on the part of those who conduct
the affairs of Ireland, ignorance of Irish wants, disregard
of Irish interests, want of sympathy with Irish feelings;
and reciprocally on the part of the people of Ireland, a
total absence or confidence in those who exercise autho-
rity in the name of her Majesty.

De. Bowring—To call the attention of the House to
the following passage in the report of the Tidal Har-

of the deiaiy in transmitting the accounts of the
harbours in the Isle of Man, they having been
twice called for by the House of Commons :—" The
Isle of Man occupies an important position in the
Irish Channel, directly in the track of commu-
nication between Livr•rleool, Glasgow, and Belfast, and
of the coal trade from SVhitehaven and Maryport, to the
whole of the east coast of Ireland. It has been aetly
termed the Beacon of the Iri.l► Sea,' and as such,
everything that care and •kill can suggest as to lights,
beacons, improvement of its harbours, would be well be-
stowed, and tend to prevent that recurrence of the nume-
rous wrecks that have taken place around its shores ;
yet such is far from being now the case ; on the con-
trary (with the exception of the coast lights maintained
by the board in Scotland) marked neglect prevails
throughout ; and here the evils of irresponsible self-
elected authority are but too manifest, the Commis-
sioners meeting only once a year to go through the form
of auditing their own accounts, keeping no regular
minutes of their proceedings, and practically leaving
the whole power and authority in the hands of a single
person."

VICTORIES OF TILE ENGLISH: IN
INDIA.
(From La Presse.)
" A campaign of less than teo months has conducted
the British army to the gates of Lahore. Sir IL Har-
dingo roles in the holy city. The canrans of Pomba),
and the Tower of London, and the enthusiastic applause
of the House of Commons, have hailed the inemerable
victory of Aliwal, the Waterloo of the East lidies, as
Sir R. H. Inglis exclaims, who does not hesitate to
place General Sir IL Gough on a par with Mariboreueh
and Nelson. This parade of panegyrics sufficiently
attests the importance attached by our neighbours to
the new conquest ; it is at the same time the highest
gl ,rification of the heroism displayed by the vanquished.
Five successive battles, fought with an unparalleled bold-
ness and obstinacy, have swallowed up the moiety of an
army of 70,000 men, desperately struggling for the de-
fence of their territories ! But who can resist the fortune
of England? Th kingdom of Itunjeet Singh will soon be
added as a British province to the defunct empires of
'Pippo() Saib, of Timour, of Seradjie, and of Holkar. The
Seikhs, like the Mahrattas and the Moguls, will only
live, at some future period, in recollection. Let us
hasten, then, to rescue the name of this valiant nation
before it is effaced from the map; let us render a last
homage to this expiring nationality, which reflect., as
it gradually expires, so glorious a lustre. Its history is
worthy of mention ; it is distinguished by a special cha-
racter of independence in the midst of the uniform sub-
jection of the Asiatic tribes. Its history testifies how
tar the influence of institutions can regenerate mankind.
It shows that a race like the Hincleos, which seems
eternally condemned to vegetate in slavery, may, if it is
delivered from the brutalizing yoke of a berbarous reli-
gion, and from the petrif,,ing division of castes, recon
stitute a progressive society, and live the life of nations."
La Presse then gives a long and elaborate history of
the Punjaub, which it is not at present our purpose to
quote, nor is it necessary to do so, and resumes his re-
marks as follows :
" The present Maharajah of the Seikhs, Dhouleep
Singh, is a child of ten years of age. The Seikh army,
formidable by its force and its discipline, was the real
power which ruled the Punjaub, and the English have
rendered this fact very clear by their fury in massacre-
ing. for a space of two hours, the fugitives in the river,
and by exacting, after the victory, the disbanding of the
Seikh troops. It is not doubtful, if we judge from the
decision and skilfulness of its movements, that the Seikh
army was directed by European officers ; but the intre-
pidity of which they have given such proofs belongs to
themselves. After the death of old Runjeet Singh, the
animosity of the inhabitants of the Punjaub broke out
against the English in a thousand disorders. Thus, the
recent Governments of India have not ceased to main-
tain on the left bank of the Sutlrj, at Loodianah and
at Ferozepore. of which they are masters, a corps of
observation for the surveillance of the Seikhs, aed to
interfere immediately .circumstances had attained the
necessary degree of maturity. A bridge of boats pre-
pared by the English and various other significant mea-
sures having warned the Seikhs of the imminence of an
invasion, th, y decided upon preventing it. Their army
crossed the Sutlej. resolutely attacked the English camp,
and feught for three whole days the blo )(Hest and best
disputed battle that the English have encountered since
they set foot in India. It is this aggression which has
served as a pretext for Sir Henry Hardinge to justify
the invasion of the Punjaub. England has not always
such good reasons to give, and we must be satisfied with
her—at all events for the care which she takes to have
appearances in her favour.
" We have shown the progress that these conquerors
have made in fifteen years. It was in 1831 that Sir
Alexander Burnes first unfurled the British flag on the
Indus. On beholding it, a chief exclaimed---4 It is all
over with Sinde, now that the English know the river
that leads thither.' He was right. Toe disasters of
Affghanistan did not repel this devouring ambition, they
only rendered it more circumspect.
"The conquest of the Punjaub is the most important
event in Indian history since the fall of the empire of
Mysore; it is the complement of the gigantic work com-
menced by Clive just a century ago, and followed up by
Hastings, Wellesley, and their successors with.such per-.
severing skill. England, mistress of the Ganges and
the Indus, reaches the natural limits of her empire from
east to west. On the north, the Himalayas scarcely re-
strain by their barrier of 8,000 infixes this covetous ge-
nius, always ready to overflow its boundaries. If,
however, the policy of England be carried on in confor-
mity with wise principles, she will not go beyond; and
his seems to be the gist of Sir Hebert Peel's words in
concluding his speech to the House of Commons with
the expression of a hope that henceforth peace will no
more be disturbed in India; which, probably, means that
England for some time hence will not seek a quarrel
with anybody.
" The extraordinary enthusiasm excitel in London
by the success of Sir H. Hardinge testifies how well
the advantages of his new conquest are comprehended
in his own country. It is not for vain glory that so re•
fleeting a nation is moved to this degree ; and a simple
apergu will suffice to render it apparent.
" Already in 1843 a solemn act incorporated the
Sinde territory with the Company's possessions, after
the Emirs had been crushed in two bloody battles. Cer-
tain grievances, of a futile character, served as the pre-
text for this war. Besides the Earl of Ellenborough
wanted a success to avenge the defeat in the defiles of
Caubul, and to prepare for the invasion of the Punjaub,
the only military road leading to Affghanistan. roe
annexation of Sinde gave the English all the Lower
Indus ; and the conquest of the Punjaub puts them in
possession of the rest of the river. From Attock, at
the foot of the mountains of Client], to the tiea, the
Indus is navigable for an extent of 500 leagues.
" At present trade is carried on there by flat-bottomed
boats nf 50 Ic;IIS ; in a little while the river will be
ascended by steamers, scattering on both berths the les°,
duce of ilasgow, Birmingham, end Manchester, and re,

eeiving in exchange precious stuffs, the rich and
wondrous works manufactured by the ingenious in-
' habitants of those districts. Tatta, in Sinde, supplies
the adjoining countries with figured calicoes and muse
lins, and clothes the Bayaderes in their scarfs, woven in
gold. Moultan, which has just been annexed, and which
includes more than 60,000 souls, in a territory five miles
in length, is only peopled with weavers and dy: rs. Cash-
mere, the fabulous valley, renowned in Oriental legends,
and so long covets d by the Company, at length falls into
its hands, and surrenders to it the monopoly of
the Indian shawls. Runieet Singh had at Utnritsir
an earepot of cashmeres valued at upsards of.
1,250,000,0001 The revenue from the shawls alone gas
worth to that monarch 18 hies of rupees (450,000 0001:)
By Herat, Cautml, and 13,-,khara on the north, and
by the Indus .and the Persian Gulf on the south,
!he trade of the 5,000,000 or 6;000,000 inhabitants of
Sinde and the.Punjaub already supplies Persia, Turkey,
,ol even Russia with shawls, velvet, satin, and carpots.
Judge, then, what their immense manufactures will be-
come when their produce is a thousand times centupled
by the power of machinery, and regulated by British
intelligence

' ‘' Whatever may be the prejudice of individual politics,
it is i►npo.,sible not to admire this great destiny of the
English people, bursting, in its irresistible expansion,
the last barriers which are opposed by the lethargy of the
Ea- tto European activity. By it it must be hoped that
trade will, at no distant period, resume its ancient route's
through the massive continent of Asia, intercepted for
890 years by the savage suspicions of Islamism. It the
right of nations and equity have often to complvin of the
means employed by England to attain her object, it is
only just to admit that no nation more extensively fulfil■
its providential mission. In one and the same year she
opens to herself China, establishes herself in Borneo,
and crosses the Polar Sea. The conquest of the globe,
commenced in the 16th century by Spain and Portugal,
is completed in the 19th by Englund Is it not time
for France to have her turn ? "

OUR INDIAN VICTORIES.
The following is the form of thanksgiving to Al.
mighty God, as recited in all the German synagogues
throughout the British empire, on the Ist day of Peaseh;

troops to India over the army *.f the Seikhs.

" God is our refuge and strength, a very present help
in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the
earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea ; though the waters thereof roar
and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the
swelling thereof: Selah. There is a river, the streams
whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place
of the tabernacles of the Most high. God is in the
midst of her ; she shall not be moved ; God shall help
her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the
kingdoms were moved ; he uttered His voice, the earth
melted. The Lord of 11,,sts is with us ; the God of
