Lordships.
We have just learned that M. GUI VELA DE, com-
mander of the Carlist corps in Guipuscoa, and SimoN
FARIES, another Carlist chief, who was wounded be-
fore Bilboa, are both dead ; the first naturally, the
second of his wounds. Their death is a heavy cala-
mity to Don CARLOS.

The German Papers received to-day bring further
intelligence of recent outrages committed by hordes of
banditti in Bosnia, but the details would hardly in-
terest an English reader.

Advices from Berlin assert that any intervention in
the affairs of Spain will not lead to a disturbance of
the peace of Europe. Did we not assert this months
since ? We knew Russia too well to fear a declara-
tion of war against England and France. There is a
material difference between threatening and carrying
such threats into effect.

District Reform Associations are getting up in every
quarter. At Plymouth the Reformers are particu-
larly active, and on Thursday last held a public meet-
ing at the Freemason's Hall, in that town, which was
most numerously and respectably attended, and at
which it was resolved to endeavour, by every possible
means, to " procure the registration of all qualified
persons attached to liberal principles, and to diffuse
sound political information." We do not forget the
exertions of the Plymouth men during the mbmorable
period of the Reform struggle, and are glad to find
that they are just as zealous now, as they were then,
in the cause of Constitutional principles. Let theme
but join hand in hand with other neighbouring towns,
who may be in need of their influential assistance,
and we shall have no more PARKERS returned in
opposition to RUSSELLS, for South Devonshire.

MEETING FOR THE IMPROVEMENT

OF IRELAND.

The adjourned meeting upon the above subject was held
his day at the Exchequer Coffee-house, and was very fully
attended.
Mr. O'CONNELL in the Chair.—The Learned Gentleman,
after depicting in strong colours the miserable condi.io i in
which the Irish peasantry were sunk, said, that the meeting
was held for the purpose of working out practical results,
and they had now some hope, for they had obtained_ an
appointment for Thursday with the Government, in order to see
whether their prospects were to be realized, and how far._..
(Cheers.) There were three points—three great branches of
public works, which would not only give immense employ-
ment to the poor of Ireland, but would, he contended, be of
the utmost importance in a commercial point of view to the
whole country. The first of these works was the connec-
tion of the lakes of Connaught, which of itself would
give employment to thousands of industrious men, and at
the same time be most beneficial to that province. The next
was the mighty estuary of the Shannon, which ran for sixty
miles through the country up to Limerick. With an adequate
expense laid out upon that beautiful river, there might be the
very best of harbours along its whole line. If only one-fiftieth
part of the money was laid out upon that river which had been
sunk under the sands at the mouth of the Mersey, it would be
one of the finest commercial rivers in the world. With a few
canals from it, and with a few short railroads branching from
it, that river would be the means of giving the advantage of
an internal water or railroad communication to three entire
provinces of Ireland. He did not need to say much in praise
of the Shannon. He would only refer those interested in the
matter (and he hoped all were), to the many Reports from
Committees of the House of Commons, which had often recom-
mended its improvement. The next topic led him to the West
of Kerry, in which place he was much interested, and therefore
they wouldon it receive his statements with caution—he would
only beg of them to look at the map of Ireland and find out the
port of Valencia, which with a few railroads, and by
a connection with the Shannon, would give to every town in
Ireland the means of export, not only to great Britain, but to
the whole world. It would make Valencia one of the first of
commercial ports, and surely that would not only be a benefit
to Ireland, but also to England.—(Hear, hear.) These
facts were so apparent that it was only wonderful that
they had not been seen and acted upon before—there was
only one reason that could be given—that was the great
curse of Ireland, the absentee rents which were drained
from the country to be spent in a foreign land.—( Cheers.)
The question then came to this : how was all this to be done?
Private capital could not do it ; and heretofore they had been
refused all aid from the public funds. They were public
works, and would be for the benefit of the public; and though
we were now happily living in times when the greatest economy
was carried into all departments, still in his opinion it ought
to be by public money that suck things should be done.
He was in a Committee not long ago, where it became his
duty to examine into the manner in which matters were done
in times past, and ho found that about thirteen years
ago, when the Whigs were not in power, a linen-draper came
up from Edinburgh, and represented that the Corporation
would be much the better of an advance of 240,0001. for im-
proving the harbour of Leith, and one fine morning it was
granted.—(Laughter.) That was expended upon a place that
never could be a harbour, for they had the Report of an engi-
neer that it could be nothing of without another outlay
of 250,0001. They were Scotch—we, unfortunately, are
Irish.—(Great cheering.) He might instance the Cale-
donian Canal, the Highland roads, and many other things.
But let them go to Canada, and there they would find
600,0001. laid out on the Rideau Canal—they did not be-
long to the colonies, they were Irish ; and there was
none of the public money for them. Now he thought the
time had arrived when Ireland should participate in all the ad•
vantages of England, as she did in all the burdens.
(LEFT SPEARING. )

PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS last night Assent was given by Commission to
the Western Australia Bill, the Indemnity Bill, the Sugar
Duties Bill, the Corn Importation ( Isle of Man) Bill, and to
several Private Bills. Lord AUCKLAND, in reference to the
importation duties charged in France on our wool, stated that a
reduction had been made by the Government of that country,
and that the President of the Board of Trade would not fail to
attend to a subject so important to the agricultural interests of
England. Lord BROUGHAM having withdrawn his resolutions,
now introduced a Bill to provide for the Education of the
People. It was read a first time, and ordered to be printed.
Lord LONDONDERRY again returned to the decree of Don
Catt Los, which had the evening before been proved a forgery.
On this occasion the Noble Marquis came to the charge with a
copy in Spanish ! obtained from some correspondent. After
adducing this irrefragable evidence of the authenticity of the
decree, the Noble Marquis, in conclusion, asked, inter olio,
whether his interpretation of the treaty was not correct ? No
answer whatever was given. In order to forward the two great
questions now in progress through the House of Commons,
Lord BROUGHAM suggested a mode of proceeding by way of
resolutions. Lord MELBOURNE thought such a mode would
add to the labour of their Lordships, and consume more time
than waiting till the Bills were sent up to them. The Mar-
quis of LONDONDERRY said something about a circular sent by
the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, to which Lord MELBOURNE
briefly replied.
In the COMMONS, Mr. H. L. BULWER presented a petition
from new South Wales, for the adoption of a Legislative As-
sembly in that country. Six thousand (out of a population
of 60,000) had signed the petition. The Hon. Member, in
supporting the petitioners, cited Sir James Mackintosh's au-
thority in favour of his view. Sir G. GREY would not commit
the Government by any pledge on the subject; but the ques-
tion would necessarily come before the House on the expiry
of the present Act for the Regulation of the Colony, when
the maturest consideration would be given to the expediency
of extending to New South Wales the privilege prayed for.
Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. HUME supported the Bill : the latter
entered into a lengthened discussion upon it, and thought two
years too long to wait. Sir H. HARDINGE said that the Co-
lonies now, since the boroughs had been thrown open, had no
Representatives, excepting only Mr. Roebuck, for Canada.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. HUME protested
against the Hon. Baronet's assertion ; who, with Mr. WILKS,
declared that the interests of the Colonies were much better
represented in the House now than before the passing of the
Reform Bill. In the Ipswich case, a motion was made by
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that the Report of the Evidence taken
before the Election Committee, which relates to the Magis-
trates and others, be read and referred to a Select Committee.
On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, it was agreed that the
House should sit, during the remainder of the Session, from
12 to 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that the sittings
should be resumed at 5 o'clock. Lord MORPETH announced
that a Municipal Reform Bill for Ireland would be introduced
this Session. The House then resolved itself into Committee
upon the Corporations' Reform Bill, beginning with Clause
56, and proceeding as far as the 94th Clause. The CHAIR-
MAN then reported progress. In reference to the Report of
the Lighthouses' Committee, Mr. HUME said it was his in-
tention to bring in next week a Bill founded on that Report.
