SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS IN
IRELAND.

The Earl of ESSEX said that he would ask the noble
lord at the head of the Government what course they in-
tended to pursue in regard to the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act in Ireland. It appeared obvious if the Habeas
Corpus was again to, be put in force that many misguided
persons would again flock to Ireland to create further dis-
turbance. He earnestly hoped that in spite of the opinions of
Exeter Hall that a thorough example would be made of
those offenders who should be caught in the act of re-
bellion. •

Tie Earl of .LEITRIM remarked that the people of
Ireland were excited* by the fact of people coming over
into their country,*and that he should ask on the same
ground the Government to suspend the Habeas Corpus
Act in Chester.

Thu Dail of DIMMC 0n.1,1 6has as Int ao L.
the noble lord who had first spoken to say that he asked
not only the suspension of the Habeas Corpus, but that
the utmost rigour of the law might be inflicted upon any
unfortunate rebel who might be captured. With regard
to the Habeas Corpus Act it was not the intention of
her Majesty's Government to make any alteration.
With regard to the late attempt, which had been compa-
ratively insignificant, it had boon completely put down. As
far as the unfortunate persons were cin•erned, who might
have been engaged in the disturbance, his noble friend
might rely upon it that the Government would carry out
the rigour of the law. As to the state of Ireland, he could
not decide what it was until be had consulted the Chief
Secretary, who had returned to England that morning.
THE RAILWAYS IN IRELAND.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then asked when the
report of the Royal Commission relating to railways might
be expected, and whether her Majesty's Government had
yet had under consideration applications for the inter-
ference
of Government in the concerns of Irish railways.
The Earl of DERBY could not say anything till the re-
port was produced.

After further discussion the subject dropped.
TRA FFIC REGULATIONS (METROPOLIS) BILL.
The Earl of BELMORE moved that the Marquis of
Westmeath, Earl of Airlie, and the Earl of Stanhope be

ARMY ESTIMATES.
General PEEL laid on the table the army estimates.
They did not, however, contain anything respecting the
recommendations of the Royal Commission relative to re-
cruiting; that would be dealt with separately. The copies
of the estimates would, he hoped, lie in the hands °
members on Wednesday, and he would then state when
be intended to proceed with them. It would, however, be
at the earliest opportunity.
