the part of the Ministers, who had at last yielded to the
mp.:rt unities of the sister kingdom, and giv,n I, eikted
monopoly of supplying the shipping with beef and pork.
He wished Ireland well ; but he did not think fief entitled
to that monopoly. In fact, they were ruining the sitlng:ig
interest, in order to uphold a general system of monopoili
especially that of corn. (Hear.) Abolish that monopoly,
and encouragement woulu at once be afforded to the ship-
ping interest, while the great body of the people, the con-
sumers, would be at the same time greatly and extensively
benefited. (Hear.) His hon. friend, the member for
Tynemouth (Mr. G. F. Young) had made out a good
enough case for free trade, but not, in his opinion, for the
repeal of the reciprocity acts. ( Question, question.)
Mr. ROBINSON rose amidst loud and general cries
of " Question," which for some time rendered him inaudi-
ble in the gallery. He was understood that if the speech
of the hon. member for Middlesex, and the hon. civilian
opposite (Dr. Lusbington) were to be taken as answers to
his hon. friend's (Mr. Young's) motion, the shipping in-
terests of the country must be content to remain in a state
of utter declension and helplessness, without the slightest
prospect of any improvement in their condition. He had
not expected the taunt of the hon. member for Middlesex
that the shipowners, having refused the repeal of the tim-
ber duties, should not now be heard to complain. They
felt that they could derive no advantage whatever from a
mere change of duties, which might at the same time de-
prive them of the carriage of the colonial timber. He
admitted most candidly that much had been said by the
right hon. gentleman opposite, which operated materially
against the assumed argument of his hon. friend near him
( Mr. Young) ; forhe was unjustly charged with advocating
the shipping interest at the expense of the other interests
of the country. Why, the shipping interest was the only
one in the country which was placed on disadvanta-
geous terms, with the most onerous restrictions,
and without any protection whatever. The hon. member
for Middlesex spoke of the corn laws, but that monopoly
was kept up, not for the shipping, but for the agricultural
interest. ( Hear.) The hon. member had referred to the
state of the American tonnage, and stated that within the
last few years it had decreased 400,000 tons. There could
be no doubt this was a great blunder—a very natural one
for the hon. member to tall into ( A laugh), thereby mis-
taking an actual increase for a decrease. (Renewed and
general laughter. ) This was a question, he was ready to
admit, of considerable difficulty, but he would support the
motion of the hon. member for Tvnemouth (Mr. Young);
because he denied the right and power of The crown to
form treaties of commerce with foreign powers indepen-
dently of that house. (Hear.) He wished Parliament to
be the judge on such an occasion. (Hear ) Sure he was,
if this motion was negatived, and if there was no assurance
from government that some other remedial measures were
about to be proposed, in order to relieve the shipping inte-
rest of the country, that most important branch of the
commercial greatness of the country would soon dwindle
into insignificance, if not perish in ruin.
Mr. RUTH \TEN was understood, amidst loud and re-
peated cries of " Question," to support the motion.
The house then divided—

Alajority against the motion...----65
Mr. CHAPMAN moved for the appointment of a select
committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with
the application of the coercion act to the barony of Delvin,
in the county of Westmeath. The hon. member went into
a number of details to show that no grounds had existed to
justify the extension of the act to that district.
Mr. LITTLETON contended that the Lord-Lieutenant
was perfectly justified in applying the provisions of the co-
ercion bill to this barony, especially as the application for
it came from thirty-seven magistrates of the highest re-
spectability in the county. The right hon. gentleman
read a number of documents to show that disturbances had
occurred in the barony during the last six months, to an
amount and of a nature that warranted such a decision on
the part of the Irish government.
Mr. F. O'CoNNoit and Mr. N. FITZSIMON supported

the motion.
Colonel PERCEVAL opposed it, and thanked the
government for having done its duty in this instance. He
took that opportunity to ask the right hon. gentleman
whether it was the intention of the Irish government to
renew the Coercion Bill this session ?
Mr. LITTLETON made no answer.
The house then divided—

OFFICE OF POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
On our return to the gallery, we found
Mr. WALLACE proceeding with his motion for an ad-
dress to his Majesty, praying that he would be graciously
pleased to place the office of Postmaster-General in com-
mission. He remarked that nothing but the peculiar situa-
tion in which he was plead, could induce him to think of
bringing forward his motion at that late hour.
LordA LT HO RP trusted the hon. gentleman would not
proceed, it being so very late.
Mr. WALLACE observed, the only cause of his doing
so, was the fear of the office being tilled up before he
should have another opportunity of bringing the motion on
again, being satisfied he should be able to convince the
noble lord the office ought to be put in commission, in ac-
cordance with the recommendation of no less than four re-
ports, after due inquiry. But he would agree nut to pro-
c..ed, provided the noble lord would inform the house the
office had already been filled up.
Lord ALT Ho ...:P—Certainly not as yet.
On Mr. WALL c E proceeding, Mr. Humz remarked his
hon. friend would perhaps withdraw his motion if the
noble lord would agree not to fill the office up until the discus-
sion had taken place, to which the noble lord said be could
not consent.
Mr. PEASE suggested to the hon. member whether it
would not, at such an advanced hour, be better to post-
pone such a motion. If he proceeded with it, the house '
would be counted out, and much pubiic business retarded.
Mr. WALLACE said he would persevere. He accord-
ingly, after a few observations, concluded by making the
motion.
Mr. PEASE moved that the house be counted.
The gallery was then cleared, and there not being forty
members present, the house adjourned at half-past two
o'clock.
