IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

OF THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Lord KING presented petitions from Kirkconnell and
Gorinanstown, county Kildare, against tithes.
The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from an
individual in Devon, against the new System of Educa-
tion in Ireland.

On the motion of Lord AUCKLAND, the Tobacco (Irish)
Bill passed the Committee, and was reported without
amendment.

Lord LORTON presented a petition from the county,
of Westmeath, complaining that that county was not pro-
perly protected, and praying that the hands of the Magis-
tracy might be strengthened. The Noble Lord said, the
petition was sinned by the Lord Lieutenant, and 51 out of
52 Magistrates in the county.
The Rarl of WICKLOW presented a petition from King's
county to the same effect.
On the motion for the second reading of the Coal Irish
Bill—

Earl WICKLOW wished to impress upon the House
the claims of the petitioners whose petitions were presen-
ted last night. He meant the coal meters of Dublin. Many
of them bought the places, expecting that they would
be continued in them for life. He understood also that
the meters of London had been compensated, and he
thought the meters of Dublin had as good a right.
Lord AUCKLAND said that it was unusual to insert
compensation clauses in bills of this kind. The practice
was for the Treasury to grant compensation after the pal-
ties bad lost their places.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, no doubt that was the
practice that had been acted upon, but he would only
state to the House, that if they passed this Bill
without a compensation clause, upon the under-
standing mentioned by the Noble Lord, they
could not afterwards interfere. If he recollected right
the meters of London have been compensated to the
mount of 13,0001., and be saw no reason why the meters
of Dublin should not be put on a different footing.
Viscount STRANGFORD wished to ask of the Noble
President of the Board of Trade whether he had re-
eeivcd any official information from the French Govern-
ment if it was intended that the tonnage on British ship-
ping arriving in French ports was to be reduced ?
Lord AUCKLAND was rather taken by surprise by
the question of the Noble Lord, but had no hesitation in
saying that he had received no official information
on the snhject, but he expected it every day, and he believed
the plan was to be that the tonnage dues should be re-
ducad to one-third, so as to make them equal to the har-
bour dues.
The Marquis of SALISBURY enquired whether the

Lord MELBOURNE said the Commission had been
competent, and he was aware of no objection to what the
Noble Lord had stated.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved that Counsel be called
in and heard upon the remainder of Nazeed's Bill, when
Mr. Seijeant Spankie and Mr. Stevens appeared for the
East India Company against the Bill, and Mr. Harrison
and Mr. Wigram in favour of it.

Mr. Serjeant SPANICIE had merely commenced his ad-
dress when our reporter left.

STATE OF IRELAND.

Mr. SHAW after having presented a petition from
Galway in favour of the Galway franchise, presented one
from the nobility, magistrates, clergy, and gentry of the
county of Cork, relative to the present alarming state of
Ireland. That petition was signed by the majority of the
resident nobility and magistracy of the county, and he had
the authority of an Hon. Friend, Member for the county of
Cork, to state that the petition was more numerously and re-
spectably signed than any which had been received from
that county. It called the attention of the House to the
evils which now threatened Ireland with an awful crisis,
old to the efforts which were making to dissolve the Union
with Ireland, and it lamented the want of firmness in his
Majesty's Ministers in yielding to the demands of factious
.and discontented persons.--( Hear, hear.) The peti-
'loners stated that they had moreover the greatest desire to
promote unanimity among all classes of his Majesty's sub-
jects, and they implored the House to take into con-
