IRISH CORPORATIONS.

Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether it was the
intention of the Government to abolish the minor guilds
in Dublin ?

Sir J. GRAHAM said, that although he had not been
prepared for the question of the Hon. and Learned
Member for Cork, he was yet enabled in some degree
to answer his inquiry: The lion. and Learned Member
was doubtless aware that, with respect to Scotland,
a Bill was prepared for the purpose of abolishing the ex-
clusive rights of which tho Hon. and Learned Member
complained. The same evils had been found to exist in

Ireland, and a deputation some short time ago waited on
the Lord-Lieutenant and represented the great hardships
which had arisen under the course of legislation with re-
sp+ ct to minor guilds, and they prayed that such guilds
might be abolished. A promise had been made, which
had been already so far carried into effect that a Bill was
prepared for the remedying of the grievance, and which
would iu two or three days from that time be introdaced
before the House.
ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE IN IRELAND.
Mr. WYSE would wish to put a question to the Right
Hon. Baronet which was in some degree connected with
the previous questions from the Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber for Cork. He wished to know whether any measures
had been taken for the encouragement of public compe-
tition with respect to the plans for bui`ding the public
colleges, thus giving an impetus to the fine arts and the
architecture 't Ireland ?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the answer might
have more properly come from his Right Hon. Fri, rid,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was more compe-
tent to reply to the question than he was. He believed,
however, that the site of only one or the colleges had
been determined upon, and in this case the architect bad
been appointed.
THE HEROES OF THE PUNJAUB.

Mr. BAILLIE said that as a vote of public money had
been proposed by Government for the purpose of erect-
ing a monument to the memory of Sir Robert Sale, he
wished to know whether it was intended to grant a situ'
lar tribute to another officer of superior rank, who had
equally distinguished himself in Affghanistan, and who
had also fallen in the late successful campaign—he meant
the late Major• General Sir John M'Caskill ?
Sir R. PEEL said, I beg to state that, cowidering
the services, the high character, and the circumstances
attending the death of Sir John M•Caskill, it is my
intention to propose that the same tribute of respect be
paid to that lamented officer that the Government has
already submitted to the House in the case of Sir
Robert Sale.

OUTRAGES IN THE TOWN OF CARRICK-ON-

SUIR.

Mr. WYSE said that he collected from the public
papers, that on Wednesday last, outrages of a terrific
character had taken place in the town of Carrick-on-
Suir, and that the military were obliged to be called out.
Apprehensions were entertained at Waterford that
they would be subjected to the same excesses.
He believed that these riots had been of a very serious
character, and he was happy to say that, from what he

had understood, the memlie-rs of the C-..tthulie Church
had been most peaceable. lie had been also infurmed
that serious apprehensions were entertained by the
members of that Church of the pernicious results that
were likely to arise from them, and he wished to know
the intentions of her Majesty's Government.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that from sources that were
open to all Hon. Members were aware that very serious
riots had occurred in Tipperary, but he was happy to
say that from information which had been received by
the Government during the last week these disturbances
had been entirely suppressed, and that measures had
been taken to prevent their recurrence.
