established a va uation of all existing houses, but it had
fixed certain limits, by enacting that no house should
be valued as being worth more than 601. a year. The con-
sequence was, that the houses of the rich, which were
perhaps worth 2001., were assessed to the ministers'
money only at 601. a year, while the houses of the poor
were assessed at their tun rental, and if the assessment
was not paid the goods were at once distrained, and there
was no appeal against that distraint. The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman concluded by formally proposing his
motion.

Lord ELIOT hadcertainly promised last session to take
the subject into consideration. The Attorney-General
for Ireland had maturely considered the subject, but he
regretted to state that the Learned Gentleman had been
unable to devise any plan which would be satisfactory to the
persons subject to the payment of the tax, without de-
priving the clergy of that to which the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman himself admitted they were fairly entitled.
Similar charges existed in the capitals of England and
Scotland, and it should be remembered that at the time
this Act passed Roman Catholics were incapacitated by
law from holding houses ; therefore it was a tax im-
posed upon Protestant property exclusively, and Roman
Catholics who had since become possessed of that pro-
perty, had acquired it subject to this tax, and, there-
fore, had purchased it for less than they would other-
wise have given for it. He could not accede to the mo-
tion, and he hoped the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
would not press it.
Mr. I3ELLEW hoped that before another session the
Government would prepare a measure to get rid of this
grievance.

- Lord STANLEY hoped, that before the end of the
next session, something would be done upon the sub •

Mr. JOHN O'BRIEN; in supporting the motion, re-
ferred to the anomalous position of the Establi*hed
Church in Ireland, which he contended ought to be sup-
ported out of the general funds of the country, without
pressing directly upon a dissentient and reluctant
people.
Strangers were suddenly ordered to withdraw, and the
House was counted, but there being more than forty
Members present, the gallery was again opened, and
Mr. O'BRIEN proceeded to argue in favour of the
Motion. He was desirous to incorporate Great Britain
and Ireland most closely, but the Protestant Church—
the greatest anarchy in the history of nations, prevented
the amalgamation. The Irish Protestant MeiMers
were compelled, however painfully, to legislate
against the temporalities of their church. He wished to
rescue the Protestants from their ascendancy, and
the Catholics front their humiliation.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr..CURTEIS complained of the want of courtesy
shown by a supporter of the Government in counting
out the House in the middle of the eloquent and im-
portant speech of the llon. Gentleman who had just
sat down.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but the
House did not divide, and the motion was agreed to with-
out a division, but amidst great laughter and cheering.
Mr. PUSSY then obtained leave to bring in a 1111 to
alter and amend an Act passed in the fourth year of her
present Majesty. intituled "An Act to enable thi.owners
of settled estates to defray the expense of draining the
same by way of mortgage."
The House then adjourned at Half-past Six.

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
loaner precedent • the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
ate all struck will; its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-
bill tints ever witnes,e.i. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
dis;lay at Dusk is unjust ; it should be sects in the calm stillness of
the on .et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
eimis Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCt.RTS, on Mon 'ays, Tues..

doing justice to the awful representation of

Its fearful ch iracteristics are truthfully pourtraye,l,.but at the same
tine so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Air. that delight is predominant over terrcr ; and the thousands

that Sontliby, the Unrivalled Pyrotecht ist, hzi; achieved a matchless
triumph.
