NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION.

The Council of this Union met last night, at
eight o'clock, at Saville House, Leicester-square,
and the meeting was numerously attended; among
others by the Polish Count, Czapski.
IRISH REFORM BILL.
A petition had beet' previously adopted by the
Council in favour of a Reform Bill for Ireland,
equally equitable in its principles and extensive in
its (I,tals as that for England, and had been nume-
rously signed by the members of the Union; but
owing to an unforeseen circumstance, it had been
accidentally destroyed—wherefore,
11Ir. THOMHS MURPHY now moved that the pe-
tition be re-written as soon as possible, and pre-
sented at the earliest opportunity.

their magnanimous conduct during the late ten days
of May, in preventing the domination or adminis-
tration of the Tory party, and so determinedly de-
manding the recall of the present Ministers to the
Government, asserting that the Irish had aided in
the struggle, hoping that the scndeavours of the
English for Legisla'ive R form would prove suc-
cessful : and hoping also that in the anticipated suc-
cess of the English, they would not forget nor forego
the pet tensions of Ireland, which has been too long
the subject of misrule, made the madness of the
many for the gain of the few, oppressed, deserted,
and despised, solely because it had borne its chains
thus unjustly and ungenerously imposed.
The address was warn.ly received; and the mo-
tion of Mr. Murphy unanimously passed.
BARING'S LATE BILL.
Mr. CARPENTER moved that a petition be presented
to the House of Commons, praying that a Bill now in
that House, entitled " A Bill to preserve the Dignity and
Independence of the House of Commons," &c. might not
be passed into a law. This Bill (he remarked) had been
introduced into the House by that eminent and patriotic
man, who was to have been his Grace of Welllington's
Chancellor of the Exchequer—Mr. Alexander Baring;
and that fact alone would have induced him to believe,
notwithstanding its taking title, that it had only a mis.
chievous object. When he looked at the clauses of the
Bill, he found this to be the case. He need only read
one of them to show this; and that was a clause which
enacted, that no person who had ever taken the benefit of
the Insolvent Act, &c., should be eligible to be elected to
srve as a Member in Parliament, unless he had fully
paid or satisfied all the creditors from whose claims he
had been thus discharged. What was this but an attempt
to shut the door of that House against certain obnoxious
individuals who bad the misfortune to he poor? Was it
not an outrage upon the good sense and feeling of the
people of England, to see a man who had been for a
quarttr of a century sitting in a House which had been
not only a refuge for the destittre, but for men of all sorts
of character and of no character—men who had been kept
in prison until after they had been elected, and then
walked out under the privileges of Parliament, and
laughed at their creditors—coming forward just upon the
eve of the passing a Bill which would render that House
the people's own House, for the purpose of preventing
them from electing whom they chose—if the object of
their choice happened to have been an unfortunate man.
In conclusion, however, he of jeeted to the Bill, on the
ground that the present House had no right to legislate
tor any purpose not absolutely necessary to carry on the
business of the Government.
Mr. PLACE ably answered the objections of Mr.
Cirpenter, showing that the Bill had been brought
in and printed like other Bills ; lie showed that it
was excellent in its provisions, enforcing only moral
honesty as the guarantee of political integrity or le-
gislative eligibility.
i% uses. EVANS and CHURCHILL supported the ar-
guments of Mr. Place ; but
Mr. ROGERS thought the Bill was intended to
taunt the poor, and was levelled against particular
persons.

Mr. MURPHY also supported Mr. Carpenter's !no-
tion, and deprecated the tendency or propriety of
the Bill.

After a few words from Major REVELL,
Mr. LEONARD moved, and Mr. PLACE seconded,
the adjournment of the further discussion of the
question.

Captain COWAN gave notice, that at the next
meeting, be would move for a petition to Parlia-
ment in favour of the Ministerial Plan of Education
for Ireland; and

Major BEAUCLERK postponed sine die his motion
concerning the propriety or expediency of abolishing
the hereditary system of legislators, because family
circumstances called him to Ireland for a short time.
A notice was given of a motion to adopt the Bir-
mingham declaration concerning the Duke of Wel-
lington ; and of another to petition against the Irish
Tithe Bill, and to protest against using any Govern•
ment interference or coercion between the people
and clergy in their patriotic struggle against the op.
pressive exactions of tithes-in Ireland.
