THE STATE OF IRELAND

Mr. MAGUIRE then rose to move the following reso-
lution :—" That this house will upon resolve itself
into a committee, with the view cf taking the condition and
circumstances of Ireland into immediate consideration."
He said, in bringing forward this subject, ho had to
ask for the indulgence of the house whilst he did so, be-
cause it was a motion of the gravest description. He
thought the time had arrived when the condition of
Ireland might be considered irrespective of party and
sectarian feeling, because at that particular time
its towns were now such as only could be com-
pared to a beleaguered place ; its barracks were
crowded with soldiery, and there were in addi-
tion to all that a force of 13,000 constabulary, all
armed with the most deadly weapons known to military
authorities. The station-houses of the constabulary were
being loopholed—thero were gunboats in the rivers,
and there was " watch and ward" all round
the coast in looking out for suspicious cruisers.
(Hear, hear.) They had had trials in all the
courts, and also by commissions. There was unusual
searching of houses, the ransacking of whole streets in
search for arms; and, to crown all, the Constitution was
suspended. Any man now who spoke freely his
mind on the present condition of Ireland was looked on
with suspicion, and, in fact, such was the state of personal
liberty in that country that it was to be equalled
only by that enjoyed by the subjects of the
Emperor of Morocco or the King of Abyssinia.
(Hear, hear.) The state of Ireland in 1851 was
not to be at all compared to what it was in 1867, and
it was altogether ridiculous to contrast the state of things
of these two periods. It appeared to him that from human
causes alone the productive power of the country was
going back, and the reason for such state of things
was that the farmers were beginning to lose heart
from a want of security, and withheld their means from
those laadlords who were not guided by a higher law than
Parliament enacted. The towns of Ireland were falling to
decay ; of course he excepted such places as Dublin, Cork,
Water ford, Limerick, and one or two others, but with that
exception a sense of despair seemed to fill the minds of the
traders in the other towns, and their only hope appeared
to he in emigration to other lands. And what was the state
of Irish feeling at the present moment ? If he said there
was general discontent, he thought he should be using a
mild definition of it, but if ho said there was almost
universal disaffection he should be a great deal nearer
tlie truth. Ho did not say Parliament was responsible for
all that existed, but for a great deal of it, and it had in a
great measure been brought about by the attempts made by
England to blot out the history of Ireland. (Cheers from
the Irish benches.) What had England done for Ireland
since she had assumed the responsibility brought about by
the Union ? Why, the manufactures of the country have
been destroyed, and trado and commerce almost
annihilated ; and, then, how was the Union
brought about ? Why, its perpetration was dark and
hideous. It was effected through terror, of false promises
and corruption, and all the great and brilliant inducements
made at the time had been totally and systematically dis-
regarded. Cork had been promised docks and
arsenals, but we should like to know when it
was likely they would be erected. Other and great pro-
mises had been made for other places, but like all that he
had said, they were altogether passed over and totally dis-
regarded. One of the great grievances of Ireland was the
state of land tenure. (Hear, hear.) He had spoken some
time ago to an American gentleman who inquired the
reason that the laud was not so freely cultivated
as it ought to be, and when he was told
that the great want was security by leases,
he said such a thing was an almighty grievance, and
that they would deal with such a system in the
country at the other side of the Atlantic by revolu-
tion. He (Mr. Maguire) did not go to that
extremity—he did not think that revolution was the great
panacea for national suffering—(hear, hear)—he had a
strong hope in the wisdom of the people, and in
tho wisdom of those who occupied important
positions in Parliament. Let them but bring forward
measures to improve the great and crying evil that existed
in respect to the tenure of land in Ireland, and a great
thing would be done towards destroying that feeling of
disaffection and discontent that existed—(hear, hear)—
throughout that great but unfortunate country, which,
instead of being one of the most glorious appen-
dages of the British Crown, was a constant
thorn in the side of Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) Too
many in Ireland held their property at the will of
others—(hear, hear)—and until that state of things
was altered—until Ireland was pacified —which she could
only be by having justice done her—until that was done
it was hopeless to hope for a restoration of tranquillity and
oonter.tment in the country. In conclusion he moved that
the House should at once resolve itself into a committee
with the view of taking into immediate consideration the
condition of Ireland.

Mr. NEATE moved, and Mr. D. GRIFFITH seconded, as
an amendment to the motion, a resolution declaring that
the constant recurrence of impracticable resolutions, and
the proposal or suggestion of extravagant and impossible
remedies, were the great obstacles to the restoration of
peace in Ireland and to the prosperity of the Irish people.
The proposition was, however, subsequently withdrawn
in favour of another by Sir F. Heygate (who rose with
Lord A. Clinton), to the effect that, before taking into
consideration the constitutional changes in the laws and
institutions of Ireland, it was both just and expedient to
inquire into the causes of alleged discontent, and the best
mode of remedying the same. The hon. baronet con-
tended that Ireland was slowly but gradually recovering
from the effect of free trade until the outbreak of Fe-
nianisrn three years ago ; and that as the conspiracy was
now dying away, it would be better not to disturb the
country by any precipitate legislation. At the same time,
as an Irish landlord, he was quite ready to support any
well-considered scheme for giving security to the tenant
for permanent improvements.
Lord A. CLINTON next moved his amendment in the
form of a series of resolutions, affirming that the continued
existence of disaffection and discontent in Ireland was not
only an injury to her, but a source of embarrassment and
uneasiness to the United Kingdom, and that it was essen-
tial to the interests of the kingdom that the causes of such
disaffection and discontent should be removed ; that this
result could not be attained unless the Government of Ire-
land was carried on and the laws and institutions of the
country wore framed in accordance with the wants and
wishes of the Irish people; that the educational and eccle-
siastical arrangements maintained in Ireland were not in
accordance with the feelings and wishes of the people ;
that the system of land tenure was not suited to the wants
and circumstances of Ireland, and that it had failed in
giving to the agricultural occupiers security of tenure and
assurance that they would enjoy the fruits of their indus-
try or the means of living in comfort and independence in
their native land ; that while the grievances arising from
this state of things continued, the causes of discontent and
disaffection must remain ; and that, while the house was
sensible that the effectual redress of these grievances
might involve extensive changes in the laws, institutions,
and social system of Ireland, it was also of opinion that it
was essential to the contentment of Ireland and the honotir

Lord MAYO was not prepared to deny that much dis-
affection, disloyalty, and dislike to British rule existed in
Ireland, but he cont:mded that it was of foreign growths
and that the upper and middle classes, both Catholic and
Protestant, were well disposed towards the British Crown,
and were prepared to defend the institutions of their
native country. Adverting to the charge that Ireland was
governed on an English system, and that its people were
downtrodden and oppressed, he appealed to the el aracter
of the Executive Government, to the judges, to the con-
stabulary, and to the municipal authorities, to show that
the country was practically governed kr Irishmen, and
in accordance with the feelings of the great majority of
the people. He also contended that notwithstanding
the disturbing political element tho country had gone
on materially improving. This was proved by the value
of the live stock, which had risen from £19,000,000 in 1841
to £56,000,000 in 1860. The rate of wages had also risen
about 101) per cent., while the consumption of beer and
spirits had largely increased of late years, notwithstand-
ing the high duty on the latter. Crime had decreased in
Ireland by 10 per cent. of late years, which might perhaps
be accounted for by the increased means of education
afforded to the people. Having enumerated at some
length the various remedial measures suggested by Mr.
Bright, Mr. Mill, Sir John Gray, and others, and com-
mented upon them, the noble lord referred to the great
diminution of agrarian crime in Ireland to show that the
occupiers of land were not so much dissatisfied as was al-
leged ; in further proof of which he remarked upon the
fact that very few indeed of the tenant farmer class had
joined the Fenian conspiracy. Referring next to the past
policy of the Government he maintained that they had ad-
hered to the moderate and impartial course laid down by
LOrd Derby when ho took office in 1866, and lie claimed
for the Administration the credit of having kept. the peace
in a period of great difficulty and danger. With regard to
the future, be proposed next week to bring in a land bill
very similar to that of last year, which, however, should
contain provisions to enable limited owners to charge their
estates for improvements, and to encourage written con-
tracts between landlords and tenants, instead of the pre-
sent parol agreements. In addition to this, it was proposed
at the earliest possible moment to institute a solemn in-
quiry by commission into the relat'ons between landlord
and tenant. (This announcement was received with loud
laughter by the Opposition benches.) Until that inquiry
was instituted Parliament and the country could never
arrive at the truth, and England would continuo to suffer
in the estimation of foreign countries. The Reform Bill
would be introduced in a few days, and steps would be
taken to increase the efficiency of the Irish railways. The
question of education was under consideration by a Royal
Commission, but the inquiry had been delayed by the
death of the Earl of Rosso. With regard to university
education, he believed that nothing could be more im-
politic than to interfere either with Trinity College or with
the Queen's University. They had both effected much
good, and enjoyed the confidence of the sections of the
people who adhere to them. Many Roman Catholics,
however, objected to send their sons to any college where
religious instruction in their own faith was not a leading
element. It was desirable, therefore, to establish a third
institution, and with that view it was proposed to advise
her Majesty to grant a charter to a Roman Catholic uni-
versity. The names of the first senate would be mentioned
in the charter. The latter body would include a chan-
cellor, a vice-chancellor, four prelates, to be elected by the
hierarchy, six laymen, and the heads of colleges.
The Senate would have the power of granting degrees, of
holding university examinations, and of determining what
colleges should be established, and the course of study to
be pursued therein. In order to carry out this scheme it
would be necessary to provide for the expenses of the
universities and professors, and make some provision for
the building, and for the endowment of certain university
scholarships. With respect to the endowment of the col-
leges, however, he was not in a position to make any pro-
posal on the subject until he knew what the nature of the
colleges was likely to be. On the subject of the Irish
Church the noble lord reminded the house that a commis-
sion was now inquiring into th© Establishment, and that
it would be premature to attempt any hasty legislation
upon such a question. He did not believe that the Irish
Church could be overthrown without a fierce and pro-
tracted struggle, and he considered that if it were even-
tually to tali It would Inflict incalculable Injury on the
country.

On the motion of Mr. lIORSM AN, the debate was ad-
journed at one o'clock until Thursday nest.
In reply to Mr. GLADSTONE,

Lord MAYO said that the Government, as at present
advised, intended to oppose both the original motion and
the amendment.

The other business on the table was disposed of, and
the house adjourned at five minutes past one until twelve
o'clock this day.

STATE OP TRADE.

MANCHESTER, March 10.—In shipping yarns we
have had a strong market to-day, spinners asking
the extreme rates of last Friday. These prices
have checked operations a good deal, but still the
market closes strong, and many spinners are antici-
pating yet higher rates. The home trade houses
report a steady market at about id. per lb. advance
upon Friday's quotations. A fair amount of trans-
actions have been effected, and the market closes
rather stronger than it opened. The cloth-market
is in a very irregular state, and although the very
high prices to which yarn and cotton have attained
render advanced quotations for most of the leading
fabrics necessary they
are practically almost un-
saleable at the improvement. Manufacturers keep
advancing their quotations with the rise in the raw
material, but such quotations are nearly all nominal.
Buyers and sellers alike appear to be so uncertain
as to the future course of the market that they are
not over eager in pressing business. We have,
therefore, had but few transactions in cloth, and
offers of any sort are not very commonly obtainable.
Some of our manufacturers and spinners call what
is passing in Liverpool " gambling," but they feel
themselves hopelessly at the mercy of it. Messrs.
John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth-
market :—" Our market has been most irregular
during the past week, and quotations have fluctuated
in sympathy with the movements of the Liverpool
market. A degree of uncertainty has, therefore,
existed, which has prevented any extent of general
business. To-day the same uncertainty continues,
and though our quotations are higher than those of
last week, sellers have found it impossible to do
business, or even to obtain approximate offers."
CARDIFF, March 9.—Very little, if any, improve-
ment has taken place in the staple trades of the port
since last report, and owing to the unfavourable
weather which has prevailed for several days there
have been but few arrivals. The supply of coal sent
down has been about sufficient to meet the demand,
and there are no stocks on hand. France is by far
the largest purchaser, and there is a fair demand
from the mailpacket stations, the continental, and
other foreign markets. Freights to two or three of
the Mediterranean ports have slightly advanced,
and quotations generally continue firm. There is
a slightly better feeling being gradually evinced in
the iron trade, and the exports during the past week
have increased, amounting to 7,045 tons, of which
2,916 were railway iron for the United States.
LEEDS, March 10.—There has been a small at
of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning,
and a limited business has been done. The chief
purchases were confined to selections of light blue-
grey and steel-grey tweeds of medium qualities,
fancy coatings in flue and medium qualities, and
white diagonals. Plain goods, low unions, and hair
lists are in slow request, and little of either class of
goods was sold. Prices ruled firm, with a slightly
upward tendency for sonic classes of goods. The
local wool brokers report a moderate trade, with
prices firm. The flax trade is rather improving,
both as to sales and prices of the new material,
threads, and yarns.

During 1867 the cost of the army in India was
£12,889,898, sheaving a net increase of £351,273, arising
from the increased pay to private soldiers.

All the prisoners who escaped from Rutnagherry gaol

the regiment originally, and the casualties among the new

A banquet was given to Dr. Norman Macleod and Dr.

It is feared great distress will be felt this year in some
parts of the Madras Presidency from scarcity of food.
Cattle disease is very prevalent there, and water is

Messrs. Borrodaile, Schiller, and Co. have been re-

and it is stated that legal proceedings are to be instituted
against them.

The cash balance of the Bank of Bengal is over
4'5,000,000.

On appeal to the judges in Bombay, the men convicted
at Poona of being concerned with Pestonjee in the great
frauds on the Bank of Bombay have been released,
their conviction being reversed, on the ground of the
illegal proceedings of the sessions judge.
A meeting of depositors in the Asiatic Bank was held in
Bombay on the Bth February, at which it was resolved to
take steps for bringing the wrongs of the small depositors
before the Vice-Chancellor in England.
A dreadful murder has been committed at Ootacamuna.
The victim was Mrs. McDougall, widow of the late
General McDougall, of the Bombay Army. The mur-
derer is supposed to be her horse-keeper, and that the
crime was committed while he was in a state of drunken.

The steam tug-boat Enterprise blew up at Calcutta on
the 31st January, killing five natives, mortally injuring
seven others, and injuring two Europeans and some
natives. The chief engineer, Mr. T. Newton, had a very
narrow escape.

The British ship lolar, 1,100 tons, Captain Wright,
foundered in a cyclone near Mauritius, in December. The
officers and crew were all saved by the American ship
Moonbeam and taken to Bombay.

The American vessel John \Vat, with coals for Bombay,
arrived at eLlicut on the 10th February, on fire. qhe was
beached and the cargo discharged.

According to the Western Morning News, the reward of
£5OO, which has been paid by the friends of Mr. Speke for
his recovery, is likely to cause a good deal of heartburning.
It was sent by Mr. Murdoch to Colonel Gilbert, chief
constable of Cornwall, for him to award according to his
discretion. He has divided it between Mr. Vincent,
deputy constable, and Mr. Baines, superintendent of the
Bodmin police ; while the coastguardman who gave the
information which led to Mr. Speke's arrest, and the
Padstow police who arrested him, receive nothing. This
very unfair arrangement is causing much discussion in the
West of England. What makes the matter wear a
more unfavourable aspect is that the two fortunate reci-
pients arc. Colonel Gilbert's own officials, and that they
had an opportunity of discovering Mr. Speke when he was
in Bodznin, but failed to do so.

In the "minute on the Conscience Clause" which Lord
Lyttelton has appended to the School Commissioners' re-
port, his lordship states that his objections to the clause
have been modified by the inquiry on which he has been
engaged. He says that a parent has as much right to
object to any particular branch of secular teaching as to
any particular kind of religious teaching. Of course the
objections may be carried to an absurdity, as, for instance,
if a parent were to object to his child being taught arith-
metic. But as a matter of fact no such objection
would be raised, and practically no difficulty would
be found in a child withdrawing itself from any par-
ticular lesson. But while Lord Lyttelton believes
that in actual working the " religious difficulty"
would be found to be unreal, he thinks that a mere general
instruction to a master to respect the religious scruples of
the children or their parents is not sufficient, and that it
ought to be expressly stated if the child is to be withdrawn
from the catechism lesson, or from school prayers, or even
from learning the Apostles' Creed. If there be objection
to any of these things, it ought to be respected, since the
responsibility rests with the parents. But what Lord
Lyttelton contends most earnestly against is any attempt
to fetter the teacher in his lesson; to make him forego what
are called " peculiar doctrines." lie cannot expound the
Bible except in the sense of his Church ; to force him to
do otherwise must re,nit in a miserable failure. The only
thing to be dune is for those who object to his teaching to
absent themselves from it.

A vast amount of very intereAing information might ho
culled from the report of the Schools Commissioners. We
learn, for instance, that there are about 3,000 schools which
have an income arising from endowments. Of these,
about a quarter, 782, come within the immediate object of
the commission, and the total number of boys educated at
them (exclusive of the nine great public schools) is 36,784.
The aggregate net income is £195,184, and besides this
amount is a further sum of £l4,264—the annual value of
exhibitions. This income is distributed very unequally.
One school alone—Christ's Hospital—absorbs between one-
fourth and one-fifth of the first-mentioned total, or £42,000
a year. Nine other schools have incomes exceeding £2,000,
13 have incomes of at least £l,OOO, 55 of at least £5OO,
222 of at least £lOO, and the rest have under that amount.

8,0020 schools Cornwallwere
founded more than two centuries ago, "while the revival
of literature, the reformation of religion, the up-growth of
science, the seething of political theories, were still new
forces." Thus 63 were founded in the reign of Henry VIII.,
51 during the six years' reign of Edward VI. ; then came
the reaction under Alary, during whose five years' reign
only 19 schools were founded ; then followed the forty-five
years' reign of Elizabeth, with 137 schools, or more than
one-sixth of the whole number. The thirty years of
Victoria's reign have seen only 23 schools, and during the
two preceding reigns, together seventeen years, only 7
schools were founded. The explanation is to be found in
the fact that during the present century the National and
the British and Foreign School systems have been esta-
blished, and more recently the system of Government
grants has been invented. The oldest endowed school in
the kingdom is Carlisle, originally founded by St. Cuth-
bert in 686, and re-established by William Rufus. Derby
comes next, and was founded about 1160. Huntingdon
was founded during the reign of Henry 11., and then
there is a long lapse of time before we reach Salisbury,
founded in 1319.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge,
attended by Lord Frederick Paulet and Lady Geraldine
Somerset, intends to leave town on the 24th instant for
Relvoir Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Rutland during
the Croxton Park race meeting. In all probability the
Duke of Cambridge will also be among the guests of the
Duke of Rutland.

THE ELECTION FOR NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.
--Dr. Lees, the opponent of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, has addressed the following letter to the editor of
the Leeds Evening Express :—" Dear Sir, a singular an-
nouncement appears in the Mercury of to-day. After
noticing my election for North Northamptonshire on
Saturday, by an overwhe'ming show of hands against
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is added that I
declined to demand a poll.' Why, who ever heard of
the successful candidate demanding a poll? It is the de.
feated one who does that. The decision by the show of
hands has not been reversed by the only possible method,
viz., a poll terminating against that decision; and, there-
fore, I remain the legal and constitutional representative
for the county.—Yours truly, F. B. Luz,—lkleanwoocjv
March 9, 1868."
