to vote against it in all. its stages, and he hoped the
might be long and t-sunous.—(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 Repeaters, and
convert risen to the doctrine of repeal who had previ-
ously held entirely aloof from it. He disclaim, d off the
part of the Repeaters of Ireland, that they participated
in any of those doctrines which had been imputed to them.
He could not conclude his address without recalling to
he recollection of the house to the declaration of the
Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tam-
worth upon going out of office,, but Ireland could
no longer be governed by coercion, and if the bight
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 withdrew his
amendment.—(Hear, hear.) It could do no good
to the people, God knew they were in a dreadfully
miserable state, and he wit tredle 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 to give this additional power to her Ma-
jesty's Ministers. It would be however upon the condition
that they at once set about considering what remedial
measures could be applied to Ireland. Two years ago
he suggested to them the propriety of setting the poor
to work upon the waste land, 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. Be bailed 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.—(Hea.) 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 out
by the Government, but upon the strength of informa-
tion he had received from Ireland,

Dave was then-Oven to bring in the Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then brought in the Bill,
which was read a first time. The Noble Lord expressed a
hops 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.
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.
The House went into Committee on the Bill.
Mr. BERNAL 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,
and the Bill passed through Committee, and was read a
third time and passed, and
The House then adjourned shortly before Seven
o'clock.

BRISTOL. SUGAR MARKET, JULY 21.—The opera•
tions in our sugar market have been quite suspended
this week, and prices must be considered nominal. The
business of the refiners will be seriously interfered with
by the proposed admission of Dutch refined sugar at a
duty of 245. Bd., instead of 635., under the law of 1846.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
DOUSE OF LORDS, July 21.
IRELAND.
The Earl of GLENGALL, in continuation said—
Another great evil was w jib reference to the evi-
dence. On all such occasions it was d iflicult to obtain
juries Ind witnesses. Special commissions were so fre-
quent that they almost became regular assizes ; and if a
witness in Ireland told the truth, it was necessary that
he should at once expatriate himself and his family.
Whether these commissions succeed or not depended on
the sheriff, for if he did not return the first persons in
the county, they would have no juries at oh ; and in
consideration of those persons. the Government ought
to putdown the agitation which existed. How was it
possible with so much division of opinion that evil
results could be avoided ? Until this agitation was
put down, until these clubs were put down, and
such meetings as those at Conciliation-hall were
put a stop to, proclamations would be vain. The far-
mer and labourer did nothing but think and talk
of politics, and persons now were progressing through
the country to sow dissension in every quarter. People
were obliged to take part in these proceedings or they
became marked men. The Roman Catholic gentry, he
believed, were as well affected as their Protestant bre-
thren, but their case was far different. If a Roman
Catholic gentleman actedagainst agitation, he was imme-
diately singled out and termed "an Orange Catholic,"
and when a person received that appellation, the sooner
he made his will the better. He had received most
frightful accounts from many gentlemen in districts
which had not been proclaimed. Their own tenants
they said had come to them and stated that the day of
insurrection was coming on the Bth of August, and they
were obliged to join these traitors—they dared not re-
sist them. Tumultuous assemblages and most sedi-
tious acts were committed in proclaimed dis-
tricts, and the parties who committed those
outrages in some instances had but just been
charged with misdemeanors. Mr. Doheny ought to
have been prosecuted under the Crown and Government
Security Act. The moment he was liberated on bail he
put on certain uniform worn in 1782, and proceeded to
Cashel, where he advised the people to arm. He also
met between ten and twelve thousand men last Sunday.
A man who had been tried, but not found guilty, of
sedition, had also attended a meeting, and so serious
was the demonstration made that the military was held
in readiness to act. At Carrick-on-Suir a most serious
disturbance had occurred. It was not true that a priest
h
had been arrested; but three other parties

attempted to dissemble. It was unnecessary to state in
what degree, in an ordinary state of society, clubs might
be more or less permitted, and when they were danger-
ous and when they were not. It would be difficult to
take the precise gauge and dimensions of clubs, and
point out under what circumstances they might be per-
mitted; but, at this moment, the clubs referred to had
reached a pitch in Ireland which he would affirm to be,
on the authority of the Lord-Lieutenant, and on the au-
thority of all the servants of the Crown, subversive of
public peace and the prelude to civil war.—(hear.) Their
proceedings were before the public. Their secret move-
ments he could not attempt to discover, but when he
looked at the systematic formation of these clubs, and at
their increase, and when he regarded their language,
and looked at their objects—when he also observed the
military array by which they sought to attain those
objects—they had all the elements of insurrection before
them, and they only wanted an absolute declaration of
war.--(Hear, her.) When he saw this military array
directed by a person who went to Paris with the avowed
object of seeing the clubs there, and, having been rejected
by the Government of that country, went about knocking
from door to door to seek out the enemies of his own
country—(Hear, hear)—and, when returning from that
mission, be was placed at the head of these clubs in
Ireland, there could 'be no doubt of the object.—(Hear,
hear.) When that person was engaged afterwards,
not in a conflict with the Government, but with
his own countrymen, and talked of abandoning
