belonged, by whatever name they might choose to call them-
selves, had always been the greatest enemies of Ireland. The
Hon. Gentleman had come down to-night to explain the
present position of the Irish Church, and had at-
tacked them for bringing the condition of that Church
b Jae thie public. He would not now stop to ascertain to what
the fact was to be attributed that the Church had not up to
the present time made one convert more since the hour it was
planted. It might perhaps be owing to the maladministration
and mismanagement of its funds. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman asked them to have pity upon the poor Church of
Ireland, because it had only 81 pluralities.—( Hear, hear.)
He could not have believed that any Church could have found
a defender that had so many.—(" Oh," and cries of " Hear,
hear " from Mr. Shaw.) He took a very different view of these
matters from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He told the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman how he, as a Roman Catholic, regarded
these things. The Hon. Gentleman took credit for the fact of
there only being 109 incumbents of the Church not being
in benefices, so that, according to the Hon. Gentleman's
own admission, one-fourteenth of the beneficed clergy of Ire-
land were absentees. They could have no better authority
(or that fact than that of the champion of the Established
Church of Ireland. There perhaps might be an excuse for
" the absenteeism in Ireland, because it so happened that in many
parishes in Ireland there was not a single Protestant.—( Hear,
hear.) In the parish in which he resided anch was the case—
( Hear, hear)—end in the whole union there was not thirty
,persons who attended the parish chutch.—( Hear, hear.) It
was monstrous that the motion of the Right Hon. Member for
Sheffield, which only asked for a Committee of inquiry into
the state of this Church, should be refused by the Go-
vernment.—( Hear, hear.) He would not stop to offer
an opinion as to the manner in which such an announcement
would be received in Ireland. The policy of the Right Hon.
Baronet was a most dangerous pelicy.—( Hear, hear.) It was
never to leave a stand which he had taken until the tide came
and drove him back from his position. He, a Roman Catholic,
told the Right Hon. Baronet this. He was one of those whom
the Right Hon. Baronet had emancipated, but whose emanci-
pation he had through the greater part of his life bitterly op-
posed, and he stood there a living example that the policy which
the Right Hon. Baronet pursued for a great part ef his life was
false and untenable.—( Hear, hear.) He was surprised to bear
it said that the Catholic peasantry paid no tithes. The instant
each tithe Bill had passed the landlords had raised the rents, on
the ground that they had to pay the tithes.
Mr. F. SHAW—They must get it in one way or another.
Mr. REDDINGTON thought the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman seemed really to think that this question of the
Church in Ireland was only a question of pounds, shillings,
and pence. He wished to guard against its being supposed,
for one moment, that he wished to transfer the revenues of that
Church to the Roman Catholics. If he thought that the
present motion would tend, even in the most indirect manner,
to the establishment of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland,
or to the payment of its clergy by the State, he would record
his vote against it.—(Cheers.) He had not yet seen any
example in which the payment of a State Church had
ever tended to the benefit of the Church or the State.—
( Cheers.) It was vain to suppose that the Established
Church would long subsist in Ireland. Nothing that
resembled it would be found in an other country on
the face of the earth. While a niggardly grant of 50,0001.
a year only was made for the education of the people—while
that people were taxed to support the poor, was it not mon-
strous that they should be called upon to pay tithes for the
support of this Church, in addition to the immense revenues
which it otherwise enjoyed. The cause of the Hon. Member
for Sheffield was the cause of justice, and although they
might oppose it successfully for the present, yet as sure as
there was justice in Heaven, it must ultimately succeed.
Col. RAWDON moved the adjournment of the debate.
Strangers was then ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place, the adjournment of the debate having been
agreed to.

COUNTY RATES BILL.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved that the House resolve
itself into a Committee on this Bill, which after some discus-
sion was agreed to. The Bill passed through Committee and
the House resumed ; and the Bill was ordered to be reported
on Thursday nett.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House, at Twenty Minutes after Twelve, adjourned till this
day (Wednesday).

DEATH or LADY CAmrßELL.—lntelligence was
received in town on Saturday of the death of Lady Campbell,
wife of Sir Archibald Campbell, Bart. Her Ladyship died
on. Thursday, last at Succoth, Dumbartonshire. She mar tied
Sir Archibald. Campbell in 1795, by whom her Ladyship
leaves a numerous family. Mr. and Lady Eleanor Balfour,
Mr. and Lady Mary Stanley, and several families of rank,
are placed in mourning by the demise of her Ladyship.
THE LYCEUM.—On Monday a new dramatic sketch,
entitled The Three Fra Diavolos, by the author of Polka-
mania, was produced at the Lyceum, under favourable
auspices. The plot, in a few words, may be said to describe
the adventures, of a party of English fashionables at Rome.
The ladies propose an excursion to the ruins of Adrian's
-Villa, near Tivoli, and this reaching the ears of their gallants,
they project a surprise of their fair tourists, in the characters
of the Era Diavolos. This is followed by a similar plot of
their servants to frighten their masters, while they in turn
are set upon, as well as their employers, by the dreaded ban-
ditti they were personating, and, after being stripped and ill-
treated, only escape death or captivity by the unexpected ar-
rival of the papal soldiery. So ends the piece. The prin-
cipal characters were performed by Messrs Vining, Keeley,
`and Wigan; and Miss Woolgar, Mrs. Woollidge, and Miss
Turner, who certainly contributed in no small degree to the
• uccss of the piece.
THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—The greater
portion of the houses between Charlotte-street, Blooms-
bury, and Oxford-street—to be removed for the formation of
-the new street—have been taken down to the foundation.
.Among the number is the Hare and Hounds public-house,
situate near the station-house of the E division, which was
pbrmerly a celebrated resort of the Londoners in the 16th
and 17th centuries. Till the reign of Charles 11, it was
known by the sign of the Be-,gars' Bush, when the name
'became altered in consecruence of a hare having been ,
'hunted and caught there, where it was afterwards cooked
and eaten. This locality has undergone many changes,
There was during the reign of Henry I. an hospital for
lepers, which was founded by Matilda, the wife of that
King ; and subsequently the scaffold was removed to that
spot from Smithfield, upon which the first victim was Lord
Cobham, the friend of Henry V;, who was hung in chains, and
burnt by a slow fire' and which scaffoldwasaefterwards taken
of th
to Tyburn. In a few days the Site above public-
house will be lost, as it will be nearly in the of the
new street. Between Bedford Chapel and High-street,
Giles'swhich was a short time ago the parish -stoner-atirdSt.
poles are erected to fOrm the line of the new houses, the
cellars of which are now being formed. In Belton-street,
leading from High-street to Long Acre, the new church of
Christ Church—the foundation-stone of which was laid a few
weeks ago, on the east side of the street—is in a state of great
forwardness ; and but few houses remain between there and
Long Acre to be demolished. In Cranbourn-street, an en-
tirely new pavement has been laid down, giving the public !
thoroughfare all the appearance of a street ; and in a short
time houses will be erected on the opposite side, for which
the various cellars are formed.
At Stockingford, the other day, fora wager of a
shilling, a woman ate a peck of radishes, with a pound of
bread and butter, and ale' ad libitum, in ivit'an hour. - I
