THE IRISH DEBATE.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
(From. the Morning Chronicle.)
The division of Thursday evening has, for the present, saved
Irektnd and defeated the designs of the Tory party. So far every
friend of Liberal principles, every advocate of religious toleration,
every subject to whom the honour and security of the British em.
pire are dear, has reason to rejoice, But, on the other hand, there
is much in the recent debate and division to excite Serious and me-
lancholy reflections. That, fourteen Years after the passing of the
Emancipation Act, and nine after the passing of the Reform Bill.
294 Members should have been found to vote against a measure,
the only objection to which is that it proposes to carry out
the principles then established ; that after the experience of
the last five years, proving to demonstration the facility
and advantages of governing Ireland on principles of con-
ciliation,. 294 Members should have been found to vote
virtually' for a recurrence to the exploded Orange sys.
tem ; that of the two great parties which divide the state one
should have committed itself finally and irrevocably to a
course of policy which, in all human probability, mvst lead to con.
sequences disastrous for the peace and welfare of the empire ;
these, we say, are facts which may well serve to sober any exulta-
tion that might otherwise be felt at the victory which has been
achieved. Above all, the speeches of the Conservative leaders in
the course of the debate are calculated to excite at once disgust
and alarm. Are these the men to whom an accident or caprice of
fortune may intrust the destinies of this mighty empire ?—men

This i is which explains the embarrassment-and conscious inferi.
ority under which the speakers on the Conservative side appeared
to labour throughout the course of the debate. The fact is, they
were afraid to speak out. On the other hand, the language of
Minister's and of their supporters was that emphatically of honest
men; of men who had filly matleitp.thtir minds, and hacl nothing
in reserve which they were afraid ./oriairairined to. avow. The.de-

" resigning." The world well knows the progress of that scandalous
manoeuvre, and its prepared rcsuks. The interests of 26,000,000
white men, and 100,000 Ilindoos, were sacrificed with re-
morseless levity to an intrigue of the Bedchamber, characteristic of
the French Court before the revolution ; and the Sovereign's name
and feelings disrespectfully compromised, as if her Majesty had
been left in ignorance that her dominions, or her duties, extended
beyond the Palace wa'ls. You, Lord Melbourne, cannot look back
upon such a transaction without shame. You will not repeat the
farce of last May twelvemonth; and, otherwise than in the spirit
of farceplaying, you have become not capable of even the formality
of a resignation. The Ministers, then, will not immediately re
sign. That the country is prepared far. But what is the amount
of their victory ? We long ago warned them that the second
reading would not carry with it the principle of this atrocious
Bill—that it would nut carry the five pound franchise, in
hick alone the real principle of the Bill consisted, We will
tell Lord Melbourne what the vote of Thursday night
has done for him. It secures to the House of Commons
an opportunity of rejecting the 5/. qualification on its especial and
peculiar wickedness, at whatever moment the Melbourne Cabinet
may dare to take their stand upon it in Committee. They have
already been ridiculed and lashed by the Times out of their scheme
of bringing up this criminal measure for the remainder of the pre-
sent Session of Parliament. They have talked big about fixing
an early day for co omitting the 51. clause. We trust it is no
make-believe—no sham Committee. We trust that Sir Robert
Feel, whose speech on Thursday last exhibited such masterly
ability, and so abounded in plain speaking and in pluck, will not
endure to have the Committee on this most profligate and dishonest
measure shoved off, under any pretext however plausible, beyond
the shortest period at which it can be finally disposed of, and the
public indignation caused by it laid safely asleep.
(From the Morning Post.)
We cannot see the slishtest chance of any good results to Ireland
from the Ministerial majority on the new O'Connell Reform Bill.
As to the mass of the peasantry, who ought to have no concern in
politics at all, they will be inflamed upon the occasion, according
to the further views of the agitating ltomish priesthood. and what
these personages nay think of the majority of five we cannot yet
very well determine- But all intelligent persons in Ireland, what-
ever party they may belong to, must be well aware that a Bill which
all the force of Ministerial whipping can carry through the second
reading by a majority of only five has not the remotest chance of
ultimate success. The end, then, is, that there has been, and
may be, a great deal of excitement on the subject of the Bill.
But surely that is no good for Ireland. No one can suppose
that an additional dose of excitement is needful to the politi-
cal health of that part of the United Kingdom. The practical
evil which every one now acknowledges— the continual stream
of fraud and injustice in respect of the registration of voters—
will continue. No check will have been applied. Instead of re-
dressing the evil, it will prove that Government, upon the sugges-
tion of Mr. O'Connell, have preferred a party struggle—have pro-
post d a mockery of a settlement—because clogged with a condition
which the Government is not strong enough, and knows it is not
strong enough, to carry. We may be told that this is no reason
why the Goverment should consent to the measure of Lord
Stanley, which it deems a bad one. We reply that we are not now
discussing Lord Stanley's measure, but that of the Government.
The Administration, if it did not like Lord Stanley's remedial
measure, might have tried another of its own, but that would not
have answered the purposes of factious disturbance which Mr.
O'Connell always has in view. The Government tries to overleap
the mark, knowing that it has not strength to do so, and that
the measure will tumble down midway, making much
but ltavium all the existing and admitted
evils just as they are. - And this is what is called a wise
and a liberal Government! That which the present Government has
done can but promote uneasiness and uncertainty in every quarter.
It has given way upon the principle of the Reform Bill. "Ilie
men who proposed that new constitution are ready to abandon it
where it is ♦iolently opposed, but still they hold to it where they
are allowed. They avow their readiness to abandon it without hav-
ing the power to make any change in it. All this can but add to a
state of unsettlement and confusion, which is already far too great.
But it cannot be too great for the enclitics of the British natii,n,
and to these enemies the present Government is willing to succumb.

(From the Morning Herald.)
From the analysis which we publish in another column of the
memorable division on the second reading of Lord Morpeth's Regis-
tration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, of yesterday morning, a most accu.
rate notion may be formed of the broad lines of demarcation which
separate the respective political opinions of the county and borough
interests, of the landed and the manufacturing proprietary of Eng_
land, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. What may be the view in
which Lord Morpeth and hiscolleagues in the Government indulge,
when they contemplate the motley composition of their sacred le-
gion, we do not pretend to divine. No doubt they feel all that
elevation of spirit, all that lofty enjoyment, all that pride of victory,
in looking back at their overwhelming superiority of numbers (a
superiority represented by a quintupled unit'.) which Abulfeda
ascribes to the first conquerors of the Punjaub when their victorious
standards had been borne, in succession, across the five great
rivers that suggested the descriptive designation which that region
stil maintains. Have not her Majesty's Government the gratify-
ing triumph to number among the illustrious band which pro-
duced this wondrous majority of five, the five great O's
O'Connell, Daniel ; O'Connell, Maurice; O'Connell, Morgan
John ; O'Connell, John ; O'Connor, Don; to say nothing of
those who figure in the old song, the
" O'Callaghans, 13rallaghans, 0'
&1.-rail, O'Brien likewise :"
Have not the high-minded, self respecting, conscientious, patriotic,
pure, public-spirited, disinterested, stern-of.purpose advisers who
at present sway her Majesty's councils, the happiness of being
elevated on the shoulders of those who maintain with most vehe-
mence and earnestness the scheme of dismembering her " United
Empire ?" Have they not all the people who, like Mr. Muntz
(a Brummagem " Auld Beardye,") have denounced royalty and de.
clared their unhesitating preference for republicanism, or who, like
the family of the four big O's already named, have held up the
federal Government established in the United States over and over
again as the only Government worth having, while they have jeered
and scoffed at the notion of Englishmen desiring to retain inviolate
their boasted Constitution ;—have not the Government, with them
heart and hand, these stanch supporters of a Crown—these ardent
friends to the existing order of things ? But what is the account
which they find, after allowing for the whole of their own number,
and fur all their official retainers, whether in possession or expec-
tancy, and for nearly all the joints of the man of Kerry's tail ? Let
us first see what is the feeling of the great landed interest in, Britain,
as represented by Members fez' count i2s of England and W ales, and.
Scotland. There voted of these Members, 12.0 and four University
Members, againathe second reading cf a 1311, wnich th thus emUm.

tically denounced as a covert and dlsgracefulattempt to introduce

versa! Suffrage into one of the integral members of the Empire. Seve-
nteen Members for Irish counties, the majority of whom have never
lost an occasion to put upon record their distrUst 'of and contempt
for a Government played by O'Connell, and four Irish University
Members,' concurred with their Conservative and loyal brethren.
So that for Great Britain and lc:land 137 county representatives,
and 10 (the whole number) of the University Members, in all 147,
voted against the second reading. For tl.e second reading, the
whole force which "the solemn and irrevocable compact," as
Mr. Shell bombastically termed the cabal of Lichseld House,
which brought the O'Connelites, quousque 7:omi,e, into a
league with the Government ; the whole force which
the compact could muster, was for Engia,;(l, Wales,
and Scotland, respectively, 35, I, 5 ; in all 41 county
members. Thus, the sense of the great seminaries of British learn-
ing and piety was manifested against the Ministerial project—not
by any mere relative qu .ntity of votes, but by the unanimous voice
of their ten Representatives. The feeling of the landed interest
—the prime commoners, owning and cultivating the soil, giving
life to agticu'lure, and affording the best market for the consump-
tion of the manufactures produced by the industrial capital and
community of the United Kingdom—was declared to be hostile to
the Bill by a majority of 96, the proportion of this body who voted
against, over those who voted for the m2asure, being about 62 per
cent. (137 to 41); and, including the University Representatives,
hostile by a majority of 106, or about 68 per cent, against.

the elasi otlandOwners to oppress the other industrious classes, by
imposing.olititem, in addition to their fair share of taxes to the
§tate; a heavy tax through a monopoly of food.
We would wish to see all classes-,•of -the, emnniunity lislng in
peace and harmelny together :" but the oppressed and the oppressors,
from the very nature of things, must hate each other. At this present
moment, the industrious elasseS do generally view the landowners
in the light of men who have abused their trust—of spoilers of
their fellow-citizens—of authors of the diseases engendered by fa-
mine, which scourge our cities and towns. There is not a reflect-
ing man who witnesses the appalling destitution in Manchester,
G.asgow, Leeds, Dundee, and Paisley, who does not exclaim-
-I:his is the work of our landowners. It is time that an endeavour
should be made to propitiate the people by a return to justice. It
is only the bankrupt landowners who can have anything to fear
from the termination of the monopoly. .
Mr: Colsclen„,pf-i-Manchester, Spoke a language which will sink
deep into the.l4,garts of the people, when he exclaimed—
" But 'Wflatulay our governors—what say the very men who

their own comforts or their own luxuries? Do they forego erre
