LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1844.

Lord 13RcoirciLust gave notice that on Thursday
next he should bring under the notice of the House
of Lords the inventions of Lord DUNDONALD, and ad-
vert to the expenses he had been put to in bringing
them to perfection.

Lord STOURTON gave notice that on Friday he
would call the attention of their Lordships to the
mode in which Catholic oaths were interpreted.

The Marquis of NORMANBY brought forward his
motion on the State of Ireland, and justified the
course he had adopted, on the ground that all ad-
mitted the affairs of that country imperiously de-
manded the immediate attention of Parliament. h e
conduct of the Government, instead of conciliating

the people, had been • the very reverse, and it had
roused up against them many who were formerly
their supporters. After commenting on the
mistaken policy of the Government, with
respect to the cry for a repeal of the union, he said
the best way to repress the agitation was to remove
the grievances. With respect to the payment of the
Catholic clergy, he thought the present moment was
a:most unfortunate time for such a propcsition. If the
clergy, too, were to be paid they should be paid an in-
come for religious duties, and not have a bribe for poli-
tical apostacy. After plying a high compliment to the
Irish nation for their domestic virtues, and their gra-
titude for the due administration of justice, he ad-
verted to the state of the franchise, to the character of
he Irish Attorney-General, and the egregious injus-
tice and impolicy of excluding Catholics from juries,
and more especially that jury which had condemned
the traversers. The Noble Marquis concluded by
moving a resolution to the effect that the House would
examine into the cause of discontent prevailing in Ire-
land, in order to secure to all classes of her MAJESTY'S
subjects the practical enjoyment of equal rights.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE replied to the:charges brought
against the Government, and was followed by the 1
Marquis of CLANRICARDE, the Earl of Rolm/4, the

Earl of DEVON, the Marquis of WEsTmEATB, and
Lord HoWDEN. The debate, on the motion of Lord
CAMPBELL, was then adjourned till Thursday.
In the Commons Mr. WALLACE postponed his
motion on the judicial establishment for Scotland, till
the 27th inst.

Lord JOHN MANNErts gave notice that, on the
29th, he should move an address to the Crown in
favour of the liberation of Don CARLOS from cap-
tivity.
Sir E. COLEBROOKE gave notice of a motion re-
lative to the treatment of the Ameers of Sinde, for
the 27th.

In answer to a question from Mr. LEADER, Lord
STANLEY said Sir CHARLES METCALFE did reserve
his consent to a Bill fur suppressing Orange Societies
in Canada, but the Bill had not been transmitted to
Government, and he could not, therefore, give any
further information on the subject. It would be re-
ceived probably by the next mail.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to a question from
Mr. C. BERKELEY, said a Bill on Charitable Be-
quests would be introduced this session at the instance
of the Government.

Mr. IlumE suggested, in reference to adjourned
debates, and particularly to the motion of Lord J.
RussELL on the state of Ireland, that before the ad-
journed discussion commenced, time should be given
for disposing of the regular business of the day.
A conversation took place between Mr. HonsmAN
and Sir J. GRAHAM relative to the number of troops
in Ireland, when the Home Secretary said that on
the motion of the Member for Coventry a return
would be laid on the table of the rank and file sta-
tioned in that country from January, 18:35, to
January, 1843.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward his motion
for a Committee of the whole House on the state of
Ireland. That country, he said, was not governed
as it ought to be. The Government of Ireland should
be a Government of peace; now it was a Govern-
ment of force. After adverting to the verdict re-
ceived that day against Mr. O'CoNNELL, the instru-
ment of Catholic Emancipation, he said, if the favourite
of the Irish nation were imprisoned, would that cir •
cumstance be a guarantee for the peace of the country.
The Noble Lord entered at great length into the
grievances of which Ireland had just reason to com-
plain, and more especially to the exclusion of Catho-
lics from juries and all places of trust, as well as to
the undefined and imperfect state of the Parliament-
ary franchise. The exclusion of Catholics from high
offices, whether on the bench or in the State, was a
glaring injustice, and could not be palliated even by
the present Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL had de-
clared that after the passing of the Catholic Bill
'all classes would be placed on the same foot-
ing; yet, though he had since his return to
office had the appointment of five or six Judges, not
one was a Roman Catholic. The conduct of the Go-
vernment, in regard to the late prosecutions, was
quite, in ,keeping with all their other proceed-
ings towards the Irish people. The Noble Lord con-
eluded by moving for a Committee of the whop
House, to take into consideration the state of Ireland.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in a long speech, opposed the
motion, and when he concluded the debate was
adjourned.

The time of the House of Commons last•uight was
almost exclusively devoted to the debate on the ques-
tion of Ireland, which was commenced by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, who rose, pursuant to notice, to move
for a Committee of the whole House to consider the
state of that country. His Lordship's speech, as in-
deed was to have been expected from him, was re-
plete with strong common sense, without the slightest
attempt at lofty or impassioned eloquence ; and its
object was to show that Ireland has never yet been
allowed to participate in the benefits promised her by
the Act of Union ; and that the equality which the
Tories are constantly insisting that she possesses with
England, has up to the present moment been nominal
rather than real. The Whigs during their
period of authority made every effort in their
power to ameliorate the condition of the sister
country, and in some degree were successful, but
they were hampered and thwarted by the Tories,
and were in consequence unable to carry out their
remedial schemes to the extent they could have de-
sired. In 1841," added the Noble Lord, " the Bight
Hon. Gentleman opposite had Ireland delivered over
to him in a state of political tranquillity. Ido not
wish to exaggerate ; I do not say those evils which
had been accumulating for a century had been dis-
pelled by five or six years of just administration ; but
I do say that the temper of the people had improved
—that there was a greater confidence in the adminis-
tration of the law—and that if that confidence had
been fully confirmed we should have expected from it
the most sensible increase in material wealth." In re-
ference to the state of the sister country at the present
moment, Lord JOHN RUSSELL emphatically re-
marked—" Facts clearly establish that Ireland is
only occupied, and not governed, by those who now
hold the reins of power. In England the govern-
ment of the country is, as it should be, a matter of
opinion ; but the government of Ireland is notori-
ously a government of force." Sir JAMES GRAHAM
did not attempt to controvert this statement—indeed
how should he ?—but contented himself with observ-
ing—" most certainly we do occupy Ireland by a
military force, when a demonstration is made clearly
showing an intention to wrest that country from
her MAJESTY by a military force." This is very shal-
low sophistry—in fact, it is a virtual begging of the
question. Who has ever exhibited an intention of
wresting Ireland from her MAJESTY ? Is it Mr.
O'CONNELL ? Why, he has always denounced in the
strongest possible terms the idea of a separation from
the Crown! Indeed, he has explicitly stated—not
once, but a hundred times—that his great object in
seeking a domestic Parliament is to consolidate,
rather than weaken, the union between the two
countries, and to establish it on a broader, safer,
and more enduring basis than that on which
it now stands. Then, how preposterous in
Sir JAMES GRAHAM to allude to the " mi-
litary force" intentions of the Repealers ; when
he must know that, following the example of their
chief,' they all, to a man, repudiate the bare idea
of having recourse to military force The Right
Hon. Baronet had far better have held his tongue
on the embarrassing subject of " military force,"
than have justified its adoption by such misinter-
pretation and downright perversions of fact as this.
In noticing the question of the striking the Ca-
tholic jurors off the panel, Sir JAMES GRAHAM,
to do him justice, was much more suc-
cessful, and certainly placed the matter in
a far less obnoxious light than that in which we have
till now regarded it. -He closed a heavy and, on the
whole, unsatisfactory speech by stating that it was
the intention of Government to propose a considerable
addition to the vote for national education in Ire-
land ; an extension of the county franchise ; and
an alteration in that of the cities and towns.
This is a beginning—though a very tame
and meagre one—of the great task of Irish
improvement, and as such we receive it . with
thanks ; but more—much snore must be done—and
this in a far bolder and nobler spirit—ere Ireland can
be said to be placed on a footing of perfect equality
with England. A creditor to whom a heavy debt is
owing, though he is of course ready to receive any
instalment, no matter how small, has still abundant
cause for complaint. if, instead of getting a half or
even a third, he is put off with a twentieth part of his
demand.

Among the alterations which Government intend
making in the new Poor-law Bill, Sir JAMES GRA-
HAM stated that he proposed to relieve it of the whole
weight of its connexion with the question of bas-
tardy, and to place the mother of a bastard child
and her illegitimate offspring as a destitute widow
and child, the latter having been born in wedlock.
In commenting upon this just and humane provision
—humane certainly when compared with the clause
as it originally stood—the Post observes:—" What-
ever the Right Hon. Secretary may intend, we think
that respect for the destitute widow and child might
have prevented him from saying that the mother of a
bastard child and her illegitimate offspring should be
held by the law to stand exactly in the same
position." There is a very prudish, lady's-
maid sort of spirit in this remark, and the
sense of morality that suggested it—however
it may gratify the nice, ultra-rigid sticklers
for conventional respectability seems to us
to be at best but equivocal. What possible injury is

done to the " destitute widow and child" by the mo-
ther of a bastard son or daughter and her illegiti-
mate offspring being placed in a little better position
than they have been placed in by the stringent new
poor-law for, the last ten years and upwards ? Are
the morals of society outraged by such tardy hu-
manity on the part of the Legislature ? Cannot virtue
be satisfied with its own immaculate conduct without
insisting that vice shall be placed without the pale of
redemption, and never be allowed the slightest op-
portunity of retrieving itself ? We do not find this
doctrine enforced in the New Testament, or that our
SAVIOUR visited the erring woman with the severest
pains and penalties, out of consideration to the vir-
tuous sensibilities of the widows of Judaea. No, he
regarded her, despite her frailty, as a human being
still deserving the kindness and clemency of her fel-
low-creatures, his divine nature teaching him that to
press on female vice with disproportionate severity is
to pay but a poor and doubtful homage to female
virtue. By ameliorating, in some degree, the con-
dition of the mother of an illegitimate child,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM has increased her chances
of reformation, and has thereby strengthened, in-
stead of weakening, the sacred interests of morality.
Arith respect to the Right Hon. Baronet's proposal
to limit the time of application against a putative
father to forty days from the birth of a child, we
agree with the Post that such a proposition is as un-
just as it is absurd. The time should be consider-
ably extended, for the mother's confinement may
happen—no uncommon case—to have been a danger-
ous and protracted one; the fortieth day may still
find her lying on the bed of sickness, unable to stir
hand or foot ; and because her sufferings have been
thus severe and tedious, is she, therefore, to lose all the
benefit of an application against the seducer who has
brought her into such a condition ? The proposi-
tion is not only cruel, but it is partial and one-sided,
for it gives a chance to the strong and healthy fe-
male of obtaining something like a compensation
from the man who has wronged her, while it effec=
tually closes the door of relief on the weak, the
sickly, and the delicate. The time of application
must be very considerably extended ; other wise, in
many cases deserving of the most clement consideration,
it will wholly fail of a good effect. We agree also
with our Contemporary in his remark—" We cannot
perceive the justice of fixing the maximum of main-
tenance recoverable from the father at four shillings
a week. Cases may easily be supposed in which four
pounds a week would not be too much." The maxi-
mum should certainly in some degree be proportioned
to the means of the seducer, otherwise justice will be
made a mere mockery, and while the .poor offender
will be strictly dealt with, the rich one will escape
with comparative impunity.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 6th instant,
and if we may judge from reports which prevailed,
the BRAVO Government could not last even till the
arrival of Queen CHRISTINA. The resolution to dis-
arm all the National Guards, had excited great dis-
content. Other places, in addition to Alicant and
Carthagena, were known to have revolted; among
others the city of Murcia, Algesiras, in the bay of
Gibraltar, and Ponte Vedra, in Galicia. A great
many persons had been arrested in some of the pro-
vinces, and much discontent prevailed. The disarma
ment of the National Guards, owing to the stern
measures adopted by NARVAEZ, had been effected in
a number of towns without resistance.

The Three per Cents. were done at 28 5.16, at 60
days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20f, at 60 days.

The Paris papers of Monday are chiefly occupied
with discussions on a motion of M. REMUSAT, now
before the Chamber of Deputies, the object...of which
is to disqualify all placemen from sitting in the
Chamber. A Cabinet Council was held on Sunday,
when it was resolved to oppose, if possible, the intro-
duction of the Bill ; but the Ministerial party in thr
bureaux were unable to prevent it from being adopted
in three committees out of nine. It will, conse-
quently, be brought forward and discussed in the
course of the week. It appears, from some of the
journals, the rising in Spain is spreading in all di-
rections, and causes great uneasiness to the French Go-
vernment. The Cabinet have come to a determination re
lative to the construction of railroads, by which privatt
companies will be allowed, on certain conditions, tc
take part in the execution of the works. The Go-
vernment is to fix the minimum contract for the com-
panies, and if that is not acceded to, the State will
take the management of the lines. The leases are tc
he from 28 to 30 years, and 8 per cent, of the profit:
to be shared between the companies and the State.
The funds remain nearly stationary, the Three per
Cents. closing on Monday at 81f. 90c.; the Five per
Cents. at 125 f. 20c. ; Orleans Shares at 850 f. ; Rouen,
832 f. 50c. ; Havre, 677 if. ; Avignon, 760 f.

The sales' of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 5,000

As the foggy state of the atmosphere, and according--to
the ads ices received from the outports, the rather tempes-
tuous character of the weather has prevented a large number
of homeward-bound vessels from arriving within the last few
days, it is probable that some may require aid or supplies
which steamers would be usefully employed in conveying to
them.

The West India steamer, it has been suggested by some,
may have been detained at Vera Cruz, for Government
dispatches, seeing the rather involved state of our political
relations with Mexico ; but it should be borne in mind that
the contract with the Royal Mail Company does not justify
any lengthened detention, as this would disarrange the whole
service.

The position of affairs in Spain still engrosses a good deal
of attention here, and the accounts periodically arriving are
expected to bring intelligence of further insurrectionary
movements. There are, indeed, few Spaniards in the City
who can venture to predict where the matter will end, and
for the moment the vaunted financial projects that were to
resuscitate credit are no more thought of. The Bonds have

CHARGE OF MURDER.—Charles .211‘Donald was placed
at
the bar, charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Green.;
The prisoner was charged in another count with aiding and
abetting another person in committing the murder.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL conducted the prosecution and
stated the case to the jury. The prisoner at the bar lvait',
charged with the crime of murder. He was the captain 0,
the vessel Cleofrid, and the deceased was one of the crew °I

the Coast of Africa, and anchored in a river riot far frcr,
Fernando Po. On the 31st of August it was stated t""
prisoner-that the deceased had taken a cask of palm oil frvt;
the vessel in a native canoe. The prisoner seeing tl-11,,
ordered the boat of the vessel to be got ready and to hay'
his pistols loaded. He then followed in pursuit of the
ceased, accompanied by a person named Boyle. In a
time some shots were fired, and there seemed to
no doubt that the deceased came by his death in of,
sequence of a shot fired from the boat, either
the prisoner or by Boyle, who died since. Green liv,e6
for four weeks and three days, but he died at last. When tilt
prisoner returned to the vessel he exclaimed that he had shot
Green. He expressed his regret-for what had happened, on,u.
said he would not have done it for 5,000/. He afterwarn6_
denied that he had shot Green. The Learned Gentleman
then explained the law of the case for the ury. If they
were of opinion that he was the cause of the death of Green.!
they would consider whether their verdict ought not W
verdict of manslaughter, instead of murder.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the Court had looked over the_
depositions, and they were of opinion that it might shorteft
the case; if the surgeon who attended the deceased was fir'

examined. )g
Mr. Thompson, the surgeon of the vessel Susan, then
in the river Cameroon, was called, and examined by l'A•
Adolphus.
It appeared from his testimony, that the deceased 1.T5

was fought. and he believed there would be little doubtoe,
