IRELAND.

Mr. B. OSBORNE said that as considerable anxiety
prevailed On the subject in Ireland, he wished to know
from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State
for Ireland, what course was to be pursued with regard
to the three Bills brought in by the Noble Lo-rd the
late Secretary. Did the present Government intend to
bring the Bills forward in any shape, or did they intend
to introduce any of their own ?
Mr. LA BOUCIIERE said, in reply to the question of
the Hon. Gentleman, he thought it would be more con-
venient if he delayed • till Thursday next to state the
course which the Government proposed to take: All
he would say at present was, that he was engaged in a
careful consideration of the whole question, and he would
undertake to say that no benefit secured to the Irish people
by these Bills would be lo,t. On Thursday; however,
he would state the course which the Government in-
tended to pursue.
REGISTRATION OF MEDICAL OFFICERS.

Mr. WAKLEY wished to ask her Majesty's Govern-
ment whether they would consent to the pi,ssing and
enactment of a Bill during the present session, provid-
ing for the registration of duly qualified members of the
medical profession?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not think there would be
Sufficient time during the present session to consider lully
a measure of so much importance.
Mr. WAKLEY considered it a very small measure,
and would not hmg occupy ti.e attention of Ministers.
CAPTAIN WARNER'S INVENTION.'

On the order of the day being read for going into a
Committee of Supply,
Lord INGESTRIE rose, pursuant to the notice
Ihe had given, to call the attention of the
to the subject of Captain Warner's next inventions, he
proposed that a humble addre,s be presented to her
Maj:sy, praying that she wculd be graciously d
to give directions for the investigation of Captain War-
ner's inventions. He was sorry that this subject had re-
ceived so little of the attention which it deserved from
Parliament ; he felt confident, however, that before
long that inattention would be at an end. Attacks had
upon former occasions been made upon the veracity of
his Gallant Mend, those attacks had been utterly un-
founded. He hop, d that this question might be con-
sidered by her Majesty's Government, for he could
assure them that however much disposed they j
might be to trent it lightly he considered it one
of the most important subjects which could be
brought under their notice. He wiahed in the
first place to correct a strong impression which had
arisen out of an erroneous statement made in that
House, and he was sorry to see that the Right Hon.
Baronet who mate the assertion was not in his
place. The Right lion. Baronet had said in
1842 that Captain Warner refused to make
any comaomication unless he had the distinct
promise of 400,0001. In the correspondence which he
had moved for in 1844, there had been omitted by a
mistake a letter which he could produce to the House,
and in which he distinctly stated that he would leave
the question of remuneration to her Majesty's Go-
vernment, provided he t•hould receive a guarantee
that he should not go without remuneration. There
had also been a statement read that when the experiment
was tried at Brighton several pilots said that there were
several ropes hanging over the side of the vessel.
leaving ample room for any deception. He had a com-
munication from a gentleman who had ascertained the
truth of the statement, and he could show that the pilots
as a body had denied the assertion, and had stated that
there were no ropes hanging overboard but the tow ropes.
Captain Warner had made many similar offers, and had
desired to be called before the Prime Minister or the rst
Lord of the Admiralty, offering to explain his invention
to them without any stipulation fora reward, but he had
very properly refused to explain it to any Commissioners,
who were not authorised to do more than make a
report upon the subject. He said, if any one would take
the trouble to look into the history of this affair, he
would find that offer a`ter offer had been made by Cap-
tain Warner to the late Guvernment, and
all had been rejected. The Honourable Gentkman
referred to the language of Sir George Murray on
one of these occasions, to show the over degree of caution
which they had taken, treating Captain Warner as
though he were an unprincipled person and a swindler.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

During the last week, a great deal of rain has fallen
in this country, much to the advantage of the barley
crops, tthreemtuziphso,t days&c.L a; it seems to be allowed, byst Saturday and Sunday were
universal consent, that the latter was one of the mist
• oppressive, from the heat, ever experienced. I, the
afternoon the wind rose, and about six o'clock blew a
perfect hurricane, raising the dust and rubbish on the
roads like a whirlwind. From that time, the air be-
came cooler, and was much more refreshing. Heavy
clouds passed over the city a short time subsequently,
charged with electric matter and rain, but they did
yield.ith e n There are, also,aoods of

of this county, in the neighbourhood of East Ruston,
Ludham, Loddon, Chedgrave, Yelverton, and other
places. There is plenty of straw, and every p;.0„

possible for the wheat crops to look more promising than
at the present time on soils of every description, and the
only anxiety felt by the farmers is, lust the heavy
showers should now lay and bruise those which are heavy
in the ear. Should the present weather continue for a
few days, the harvest will probably commence in a fort-
night. So favourable an account cannot b.?. given of
the barleys. The soils in the principal barley districts
being light and sandy, have been completely parched up
during the late long and continued drought. In the
neighboitchoods -of Tti-Corii, Croxton, Wretham, awl

most exposed places begin to die off ; and those which
were in more sheltered situations from the sun, were in
