BANK FAILURES IN IRELAND.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex•
CHeauER, certain Papers relative to the distress
caused in the South of Ire Nod, from the failures
of several Banks which bad lately taken place,
were laid on the table.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then ruse
to move, that these Papers'be referred' to the con-
sideration of a Committee- of the whole House.
In making this preparatory motion, he meant,
when the Papers came to be consitlered, to pro-
pose some measure for the relief of Ireland in her
present distresses, similar to one which had been
adopted on former occasions for the relief of dif-
ferent parts of the kingdom. In consequence of
the great and almost unexampled distresses which
had accrued to a large proportion, of the inhabi-
tants of the South of Ireland, from numerous fail-
ures of Banks upon whose credit almost the whole
of the circulating medium of the country rested,
Government felt
_it their, duty nov to delay any
longer conning to Patliament for those remedies
which Parliament alone could give. They kit
themselves the more called upon to do so in eon•
sequence of those measures which the Lord Lien-
tenantof .Ireland had,. upon his own responsibi-
lity, adopted in the;case. The House was await!,
that in 18(16, a Bill was passed, atahuriziok; the

issue of a considerable sum of money for the exe'
cution of several public works in Ireland. A 41'e/
portion of that sum still remained in the Bank 0,
Ireland ;,and upon the present occasion, the Lord
Lieutenant had authorised the issue of it to
certain extent, by way of loan on good security(
for the purpose of supporting that commercial
uredit which was in danger of sufftsting, and bf
.that meatus adding considerably to the distresses
already existing. The proposition which be [o°
Wa view to submit to Parliament was, that gra"
should be made to a oother extent for similar pa"
poses, if it should be found to be neceasare• At.
the same time be wished the House to understand/
that with whatever reluctance they might (Wet
into a question of this kind, when once Govern'
went thought it necessary, it was desirable to-"11°
measures without delay. He should propose 'bag
the amount to be granted for the relief ot the Irish
on the present occasion be not less thae, half a
million ; and that the Papers he referred to a
Committee of the whole House to-morrow.
Upon this question being put front 'he Chairs
a general feeling was manifested in the House
go into the Committee at that time.
The CHANCELLOR of the FACOEQUER, in corn:
pliance with the wishes of the House, propd'ea
to go inro the Committee at present.
Mr. TIERNEY OljeCted to go into 8 Stlbieet
of so much importance at once, on such shot'
notice.

OW the papers were not Volomititmi, but veil
short ; besides which, the suiject was one of o°'
toriety.
The House having resolved itself into a Cone ,
mittee,
The Papers were read, and appeared to be .a pr

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then r'
and stated, that a 111111 of 150,0001. had
granted ice 1806, for the purpose of telieving cog!'
intsrcial distress, and for currying on certain poi

it Was certuirily in some. degree irregular. V,ll
House was not ignorant of the caleoo.ous eve''
that had happened in the Snub of Ireland ;
in the measure he now proposed lie thought th)
would see a complete '.unholy with that adtec
in a similar case by Mr. Pitt in 1793, when a $":,
cession of failures had concurred to render th
comotry greatly distressed. Olt that Oce-aslo°l

of lieland; and it would be remembered apes

was a great distinction between the cireurostollet,°,
of those times and the present ; ivbett, incleeee
eat of the paper currency, there was a l'ef-1,
large metallic currency. At present he
posed to' vote for the relief of Ireland
500,0001., giving a Parliamentary gor,rateee

Dr. LUSHINGTON expressed his concarre°4o
with the sympathy of the Right Hon. Gentleloo
for the prevent distresses of the Irish ; but l'eo,
the same time warned the House not to lose sigo(
without adequate reason, of the great gets
pe
principles by which the policy of wise 6"'e tit
merit ought to be guided. He did not give
the analogy drawn by the Right Hon. Ge'll.oo
man betweenahe present case and that in the I:0,
of Mr. Pitt. The remedy on that occasion

He should certainly oppose this graot, and, though
not one Member should vote with hint, he tiny
determined to take the sense of the House.

Mr. It WARD said, that informatiou had been
received front the most resit' ctable quartets, from
the local authorities, and trom the principal inha•
hitatits in the neighbourhood ot Carlisle, Stock-
port, and other places, that the Barracks were
not only vulnerable, lot! that an attack ot the Ra-
dicals might carry them in halt an hour. He
would state one tact to the Committee, which
would. give them some insight into the state of
these districts. At a late race-ball at Carlisle,
where t he Member for WinchilNea (Mr. Bi mightily)
presided as Steward, wirer the coat:tally ,vere pro-
ceeding to the room', many were stow by mobs,
who declared that their diattioti(l3 511001(1 not be
in their p..ssession 0,1 aniulter occasion. lie men-
tioned this as a tact, to show the necessity of mi-
litary defence against such threatened proceed-
ings.

Colonel Dartes observed, that, exclusive of the
new charge for additional bartatis, there was a
soot of 153;0001. for the applica,ion of which he
thought nothing had yet beets shown. It was no-
minally made applicable to the support of barrack-
mast s, trod office, s mployed iii rnotito sluing bar-
racks. lie had mored last year for a retorts, 88
hit brAw hof the public service, and its cootents,
lie coutessed, astonished him The sole duty of
thr%e barrack•masters appeared to him to be to
inspect public buildings, in which very often there
were no persons resid 11g. Itr :wo cases which
had cone to his kowsleege, the barrack masters
were a surgeon and apotheciiry in the one, and a
stonemason in the o,her. The tact was, that
massy barracks were kept up without any public
use, sod to which military dt.taelonews were never
sent. lie !roved that die officers stationed at
these places would be (tansies-red to the new bar-
racks. and ;hat st further waste of the public money
wtoild be guirded mains. it, this instance.
T CHANC,LLOR Of the EXCHPlatlEit said, the
increase of the: hat rack expenses was no volun-
tary horibeis imposed upon the country; it arose
entirely out or circumstances that could nut he
avoided. The augmentation now proposed was
rendered necessary in coosequessee of the agitated
state of the country ; sod fi:r the plotectiots of
the loyal and indostrions Nit of the conamisoity.
In tilwoSt the gitat manufacturing towns of
the Kitigartin, protec ion was sought for Agdinst
the elie!hic. of [nitrite order, and that piotection
could not he afforded, excels; by the employment
of a milatary force. Ott that accosts's:, it became
necessary to hate parttetstar place; !or the ac,...orn-
mcdation Of Itoop• ; and by that means, to ren-
der them more effective (hill they should be, if
mixed with an agitated populace. The ex-
pt attending the angmen.atiou of Ike isofi
Lary force was comparati%eiy a small evil ; the
greatest mischief of all was the extstence of a tor.
bulent spirit ; and the best economy woold be to
have such a force at once, as woulo put it com-
pletely down. It was !rule, that proViSoll3 had
been made for accommodating a battalion of
the Guards; and tile iViews wa. one of the places
appropriated for that purpose; but this was no
new thing ; the Mews had often before been
formed into a temporary receptacle for troops.

Mr. Hume said, that there were already 97
Barracks placed in ritTerent parts or the country.
'the additional troops were said to have been
called nut tor the exigencies of the moment. Then
why, being for temporary service, dial they want
permanent barrack. ! At ill4ncliester, because
solie iinlt disturbance had taken place for a short
time, 28,0001. was to be expended in establishing
barracks. Supposing similar citeunistances to
Stake place at yoak, or elsewhere, were similar
measures to be taken ? Ministers would belie
themselves if they made those establisliments per-
manent which they bad declared should be only
temporary. _ _ _

Mr. AIIIUTHNOT said, that Barracks bad been
recently reduced, which accommodated 60,000
troops ; the sale of which hail par ially loweiett
subsequent Estimates. Tcmporao y barracks were
certainly desi►able, if practical. But, in the
places where disturbances had existed, no build-
ings could be toundapplicable to such a purpose.
In these' districts it the soldiers and people bad
been alhwed to mingle, much evil must have
arisen to each. Since he (Mr. Arbuthnot) bad
been in the habit of notninating to the office of
Barrack Master, he had sought for the Most de.
serving individuals, and none but the office'• of
the army had been appointed.

Mr. Asencaotellll3 said, that the reasons as•
signed by the Right Honourable Gentleman (the
Chancel!or of the Exchequer) for the measures
which this grant provided for, were neither more
nor less than such a state of disaffection in the
people—such a total alienation from the Govern-
ment, that they could only be kept sClown by the
sword. He thought it the greatest reproach to
the House of Commons, that it should hear such
assertions, and not examine into the numerous
complaints and grievances which were daily pre-
sented to them.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFQUER denied
that he bad stated the general dissatisfaction of
the country as calling for the formation of mili•
Cary establishmen•s. He had slid that in the me-
tropolis, and in some manutactuting districts, it
had become necessary to protect the loyal and in-
dustrious classes from, the designs of the disaf-
fected and the outrageous.

Air. Calcraft, Air. W. Smith, Mr. Creevey, and
Sit 11. l'Arnell, said a few %words each, in animad-
version upon the present system.

Mr. T. WILSON contrived Gentlemen were
wrong when they attributed all the evils ot the
country to the measures ot the present Govern-
ment. He would call their recollection to the
tints the debate had taki,n on a foriver evening,
when it was admitted that the discontent and this-
affection of the people did not arise from ally
want of respect for the Constitution of King,
Lords, and Commons, but were produced by dis-
tress occasioned by a deficiency of employment. If
that were the case, and if the distress had become
greater than it was, it must produce an increase of
discontent, which required
.an increase of en•
ergy to meet it.—(Hear, hear, bear !)—With
respect to the feelings of the country, he could
not help thinking that the languago contiuttelly

used on the other 3lile of the haute was not rel.

Mated to aslitage it. Indeed it tended to render
the people not only dissatisfied with their sitna.
lion, but with the conduct of Government. He
!did not know whit measures would be adopted by
the gentlumen opposite, if they were in power ;
but, were ,hey placed in that situation, they
would surely keep up such forces as might be ne-
cessary to iepiess any dangers that were likely to
threaten the peace of the country. He did not
wish to give a vote for expending the public
money tioneeessitrily ; but no.argument offered by
the gentlemen opposite had convinced nitn that
the present was not a proposition that ought to
be agreed to.
After a few words from Mr. Abercrombie, Mr.
Calust!, and the Cliancellor of the Excheyter,
Mr. Bennet, persisting in his opposition to the
grant, the Committee

Mr. ARBUTHNOT (hen moved that 25,0001. he
granted tor repairing forts on the coast of Africa.
He stated that it was at length intended to carry
into effect the recommendation of the Committee,
that the African Society should no loAger exist,
and that the African torte should be transferred
to his Majesty's Government, 'I he money which
he now proposed had been already expended.—
With respect to the forts themselves, only two
or three would be kept ; the rest would be sup-
pressed.
The Resolution, after a few words from Mr.
W. SMITH, was agreed to.
Ms. ARBUTHNGT moved, that 150,0001. be
granted to LOS .Majesty, iu part of a sum of
300.0001. to pay the areal& of the Commission
established in London, putsuant to an Act of Par-
liament in 1817, it, decide on the unlawful capture
of foreign vessels.

Dr. LustinsoToN said, that this large expense
entirely arisen horn the neglect and ignorance
of ;tie Noble Lord and his Colleagues then at the
head 01 the Admiral' y, who had issued instructions
to Briiiso cruisers,' whien were an open violation
of the law of nations, and of every established
principle. These instructions had been acted
upon. and Portuguese vessels and residents
caret, d to our forts and condemned wit hoot
mercy, till a Noble Lord opposite had found it
_necessary to send orders to stop those proceed-
ings, on 'he t.;:.oirml that the instructions issued
by the Admiralty were contrary to law. A treaty
had then been made, by which our Government
had bound itself to pay the value of the un-
lawful captures which had been made, and a
ISill had been passed to make up the deficiency.
ISur such had been the neglect of the Govet nment,
that altlough those vessels had been in our pos-
session since 1814, not one single shilling had yet
been received from them or their cargoes, whilst
'heir salve had been progressively paying to the
o Niters.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT explained, that part of the
money had been already recovered, and that the
lest of the ships uere still in the possession of the
eap;ors,—The Resolution was lieu agreed to.
The Resolution that 41,0001. 5e granted for
the works- and f (Taira of public buildings, was
agreed to atter a few observAtions.
The tollokving Grans were then voted:--

Jr. 11. W. 1-havEY reminded the Committee of
a statement which hid he" made on n former
occasion, that the amount of the Secret Service

Mr. HustussoN stated, that every shilling of
that money would be accounted tor on oat,t in
