FAT.—Mr. Boswell partook of a civic feast at
which Mr. Wilkes presided. The Alder,man asked
Mr. B. it he would take a slice of beet. On his
reply in the affirmative, Mr. Wilkes cut a slice,
and pointing to the fat part, said to Boswell,
with his usual softness and politeness of manner,
" This, my dear Sir, is what we call fut. It is
haindess in its nature and very agreeable to the
palate. I merely mention these circumstances,
for as you are lately come from Scotland, fat may
he a novelty ro you. You may eat it iu perfect
safety, depend upon it, Sir."

had a tight when three-tourths of the fanciers
had left. It arose flow Spring refusing to let
Hudson go into ihe room where Shelton was in
bed, at the Bell Inn, Hampton. Some %voids,
rather energetic than elegant, took place, and a
gentleman offered to give Hudson five guineas to
give Spliog a punch on the head, and Josh.
challenged him forthwith. Away those who
were left went over the water to the plains of
Moulsey again, and at it they went for a purse of
20 guineas. It was little more than l Ist. against

but in the second Hudson evaded Spring, and
cut his eye, !Font which the blood poured forth
well, and he got Spring down. Josh. had hone
the worst of the two next rounds, against his
powerful adversary, but in the sixth, Hudson
wood it was of no use, and gave in and puCIALICLI
his 5 ivtitleas, and Spins his 20.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

STATE OF IRELAND.

Mr. DALY then addressed the llouse, in itr.;
Buance of the notice he had giVen, to call the at-
tention of the Ilnuse.-Ao the alarming attitude of
the disaffected in Ireland., and of the expediency
of renewing the Insurrection Act. :flie
batters itt Ireland had broke out in the month of
last November. At that time a demand had Inen
made on Government, and -refused, of a small
number of soldiers. The disatlection‘ then be•
came so general, that Government hatibeen ask 7
cd to proclaim 13 Bart nies in a state ofinsurrec',
tion, In the month of Fehrnaty, almost all the
arms had fallen into the hands.of the disaffected ;
and in the course of one fanlight, attacks had
been made on the houses of 70 Gentlemen, which
had partly succeeded, and all the ,arms its them
taker. away. At last, though tl,e Government
-could oat spate 60 tot in November, 3500 +Hid
been then sent. 'nu- rebels met in open day, 01111
unrootud tie houses intended for barracks, in bo-
dies for the most part of 1000 men. The head-
ow-oters of the Police had been attacked, and 13
Officers bad been wounded-, tour of them he un-
der,tood t‘evetely. A barrack had been attacked
by 1500 men, and the attack• had lasted from 9
in time evening till 3 the next morning against the
iti-g's troops. Seventy Magistrates had memo-
rialized the Government, but no answer had been
returned. 1 hough many had suffered at the As-
sizes, yet the spirit of tebellion had not been put
down. Seven shots had been tired at a Magistrate,
and-a matt had been shot who.had, or Was believ.

ed to ha%e, given evidence against some of those
deluded men. Tht.ugh a large reward had been
offered, the pripctiatnis never been
dis-
covered. lie read a letter from Major d'Arcv,
stating, that nothing would do but a re-
vital of the !mon ectionary Act. In what-
ever lie had to propose he should take care
that the .Ivry Trial should form part of that
measure. The great evil arose front the whole.
county of Galway being studded with military.
He had heard that the counties of Kilkenny, Cork,
and Westmeath, were also in a very disturbed

state. He was convinced that the people were
only kept down in one county by an iwwvnse
establishmemt, and the moment that was
withdrawn, they vi ould break nut into fresh out-
rages, they being no•.w armed and organized. He
had sea►ched the houses of the peasantry from
nine at night till two the next morning, and sel-
dom found at, able-bodied man at home. He then

mo‘ed for a Select Committee, to inquire into
the disaffection existing in some palls of Ireland,
mitt) a dew to the adoption of such measures as
would he most fitting to put a stop. to the pro.,
gress of it ; and whether any additional powers
should be granted to Government for that pur-

pose.
Mr. D. BROWN seconded the. motion ; and ex-
patiated upon the dangerous state pi Ireland at
the present moment. •

Mr. C. GRANT quite agreed that this was a
question of vast importance to Leland; and espe-
cially.as it_ involved the question as to bow Ire-
land was to he governed. He spoke the sense of
the whole Irish Government, when he said that

they did not think that any renewal of the Insur-
rectionary Act, was. necessary. .lie therefore op-
posed this motion, because it was impossible to
examine witnesses .from,lr.eland in support of the
non• Gentleman's assertions. If the time of the
Session waxsuracient,, he would propose that in-
quiry should be .made into the loco' and general
causes of the evil which.was complained of. Did
they know the provisions of the Insurrection Act
By it a man out at eight was brought before the
Petty Sessions, and might he transported for seven
years without.inquiry ,by either Grand or Petit
Juries:; and any Magistrate might, on his own
authority, break into a house at any hour of the
night. Was this an Act for which the Irish Go-
vernment was to be blamed because they had not
endeavoured -to..revive it I He did not mean to
deny that there were local disturbances,_ in. Ire-
land, but the latest accounts which he had re-
ceived alleys:v(l, that those districts were now, n,
at least, apparent trampillity. file .thought the
Irish people hedr been smnesehat hardly dealt with,
for if there was a sudden breaking out of robbery
and atrocity in a particular part, it was imme-
diately said here was inSurreetion.and,tebellion ;
and it they were quiet, then it was worse ; there
most be something ominous and hollow, whiels
threatened destruction to the whole State. Ire,'
- land was suffering under the absence of her
Gentry ; the redundancy of, and want of em-
ployment for, her population, and the unhappy
religious disputes that agitated her. .Tbese
were principally to- be remedied by a more
intimate acquaintance with England and her Con.
stitution. In his opinion the best way to repress
those excesses, was by a moderate military torce
to support the Magistracy ; and if that should fail,
to restore the Peace Preservation Bill He main-
tained, that the Irish Goveniment had acted as it
ought for representations bad been made to. the
Magistrates, at the close of the last year, that it
the districts were so much disturbed, Ithey should
apply to Government for a renewal of the Peace
Preservation Act. He entered into a dt4eiled
defence of the Government, in all the transactions
which they had had to adopt with respect to Ire-
land ; and asked if he was to be called to an ac-
count, if he called not on the House to give the
Government of Ireland a power, which had never
been possessed by• any since the days'of the Nor-
man Conquest. The disturbances in the county of
Galway might have been suppressed if the Magi-
strates bad acted. with the 'same promptitude as•
those of Mayo and Roscommon. lie contended
that the whole of the misfortunes of Ireland were
to be traced up to the constant recurrence to coer-
cive measures ; and to making Ireland an except-
ed case from the Constitution of England. The
only cure for these evils, was to enact laws to re-
strain not only the excesses of the poor, but
those of the rich also. He called on the Gentle-
men of Ireland-to consider, before they asked for
snore rests ictive measures against the people, whe-
ther they did not see souse better way, depending

upon themselves, to repress the excesses, by a
judicious, steady, and temperate adherence to the
Constitution of England. For these reason's be
should oppose the motion.
Mr. DAwsoN said, it was notorious• to every one
that the greatest tlisturbance prevailed in the
West of Ireland; and there the Peace Preservation
Bill, so operati)efin other parts of Ireland, bad
totally failed. He was, therefore, 'for inquiry ;
though, he thought that violent measures could
never sneree4 in Ireland. He thought it hard
that the peaceable inhabitanla should have to pay
for the maintenance of troops to keep down the
disaffected, and therefore he should vole for in.
qniry. IVlsen, in 1817, the then Secretary for
Ireland called upon Parliament to enact the Insur-
rection Bill, on account of one case of atrocity,
what
ovrpuld he saitl of the present Government
of Irelano, which refused invily When a whole'
province was in insnrrectioo. It was impossible
that the Government could expect support trim
the Gentlemen of Ireland, it their representations
were not to be attended to.

Mr. PARNELL Was surprised to hear of a Pro.
vii ce of Ireland being in a state of insurrection...—
The'great pit of that country was perfectly.tran-
quil, wore so than could be expected, considering
the state of distress in which it had been placed
for the last. three years. The Gentry. of Galway,
had catt for the militate ; a few were sent, and
now they wanted them taken away.
Mr. W. POLR said, this was the first time that
.Gentlemen had ever asked for coercive measures
against their country, infinitely greater than what
t►te Government of the State thouJit it necessary
to propose. He believed it had been the uniform
practice of all the Governments of Ireland, since
the Union, to assimilate gradually, and as quickly
ac possible the practice in lieland to that of the
Constitution of Great Britain:

Mr. be-
cause r. V. FITZG U RALD supported this motion,
a great dart of the Provinceof-Connaught
was in a state of absolute insturectirin ; and he
-stated, that regular battles had' been fought be-
tween the King's troops and the inintlectionists.
There were at one time 5000 men in the county
of Galway ; and that was the only cause of the
present quiet of that county ; but what would be
the state of it if those troops were called away
He denied that they had any intention of asking
for measures of coercion, they only asked for in-
.quiry, in order to furnish protection to the peace-
able and well-affected. The people of the dis-
ttubed districts of Ireland (where. in the last
year, horrors were 'committed of which the House
could have no conception), complained that 'Par-
liament' lent a Beat ear to their complaints, and
would not grant them the protection they so
well deserved. He would undertake to make out
a sufficient case for inquiry, if it were granted,
without the necessity of sending to Ireland for
witnesses to prove the deplorable state" of that
Country.
Mr. MARTIN, of Galway, contended, that al-
though disttuhances formerly r prevailtil in the
County of Galway, yet no county in the- world was
quieter than that'cOunty Was at present.
Sir Nan-PORT was happy, on this occasion,
to give his support to the ExectitiveGovernment.
Mr. FoRsTER thought the Insurrection Act well
calculated to prevent mischief in Ireland. •
Lord CASTLEREAGH thought this was not the
time to renew this Act. The present was a time
of profound peace, and he thought the 'best mode
of healing the ills of that Country would` be by
Adopting conciliatory measures. The Insurrec-
tion Act was, in his opinion, like the Income Tax,
both were measures which, in emergencies, Might
save the Country, but ought never to be adopted
on light grounds.
• Gen. Matirt; suggested the propriety of with-
drawing the present motion.
Mr. DALY replied. After which the motion was
negatived.

The other Orders of the Day were disOnied of,
and the House 'adjourned at HALF-PAST Two
O'CLocmYthis morning.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S-BENCI-I, ‘VEs”rNsTrR, JJNE 28.

WHITMORR V. 6ODING.-THR SAME B. BROAD.

WOOD.

These were cases of assault. The actions were
brought• separately, but both arose out of sue
tTausuction. It appeared that a dispute had taken
place between Mr. liihirmore and Mr. Gutting,
in - consequence of which 'Mr. Broad'wood be•.
came the bearer of a challenge to the. former
Gentleman. In the course of that negociation
farther differences arose, ' which ended in the at-
tack for which Mr. Whitmore now sought cam,
pe►tsation.
.The assault was proved by the evidence ; and.
the Jury in both cases found for the plaintiff•
damages against Mr. Clotting, 1501.;—agaiust.
.Mr. limadwood, 501.
The remainder of the day was occupied' by
Common Jury Causes, which had no publid in-
terest.
