DEATH FOR roassiar.
Earl BATHURST presented a petition from Cirencester, Glou•
cestershite, praying the interference of the legislature to substitute a
milder punishment than death for persons convicted of forgery.
The Earl of LIMERICK, when presenting a petition from the
unemployed weavers of Limerick, °beefed that the petitioners ex.
pressed their gratitude for the great measure which passed last ses-
sion, and he was happy to bear his testimony to the beneficial re.
sults which were manifested in the neighbourhood with which he
was more intimately acquainted. Crime had decreased one-fourth In
that part of the country.

DISTRESS.
The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition from Duraley, in
Gloucestershire, complaining of disuess. The population consisted
of from 3,800 to 4,000 individuals, the greater portion of whom
were burdensome to the parish. The noble earl likewise presented
a petition of the merchants and tradesmen of the city of London,
complaining of the distress which pervaded the country—it having
been stated that the distress was partial only—praying for a more
equal representation of the people in parliament, and eallMg upon
tne house to atiose, ouch measures. .would tend to dindwish the
distress.
SEA-BORXE COAL.
Lord IVIIARNCLIFFE (after presenting a petition from a
parish in Yorkshire against the renewal of the East India Company's
charter) said, that he held in his hand a pets ion to which he wished
to call their lordships' attention. It was a petition from the manu-
facturers, dyers, and weavers, of the city of Norwich, complaining
of the tax on sea-borne coals. In manufactories where machinery
west used, their lordships need not be told that coals were required.
Now, in consequence of the heavy duty which was laid on sea-botne
coals, which, of course, enhanced their expense, he had been in.
tisnned that wool had been actually sent from the neighbourhood of
Norwich into Yorkshire to be manufactured, where the price of
coals was so much lower. He confessed that of all taxes the tax oa
coals appeared to him to be the most unjust, and that government
ought to turn their attention to is, with a view to its removal. Ftw
of all, it was a tax on the productive industry of the coautry,
much as it prevented the operation of manufactures. In the rest
place. it was a tax upon one of the essential necessaries of life-
tax from which no one could escape. It was also a partial tax fcli
by the inhabitints of London, and along the line of coast wh..re
those sea borne coals were used. It was a subject to which he
hoped to see the attention of government called, and if the tax cenisl
be removed, it would afford great relief. .
The petition was then read, and laid on the table.

WALT TAX.
Earl STANHOPE presented a petition from a hundred in NJ:-.
folk, complaining of diitrcits, and suggesting the reduction fs the
tax on malt. The petitioners also suggested that every econoilly
should be used in the expenditure, and inquiries made Into the dif-
ferent departments of government, with a view of reforming abuses.
Lord KING presented a petition from Wootton-under-Edge, ii
the county of Gloucester, against the tax on beer, the monopoly of
the corn laws, and that of the East India Company.
The Earl of GLENGALL presented a petition from a parish in
Ticrderary, against the introduction of the poor laws in Ireland.
CALTHORPE presented a petition against paying wages
in goods, instead of money, from a pariah in Staffordshire.

STATE Or THE HUSH POOI4
Ps?! DARNLEY considered it his duty to call their Lordships
attention to a subject upon which he had troubled the house with
his opinions on former occasions, a subject in his estimation of
great Importance ; he meant the state of the poorer classes in Ire-
land. The opinions he had long entertained remained unchangtd
of the necessity of making some provision for the aged infirm
poor of Ireland. He perceived his noble friend (the earl of Lime.
rick) was ready to take the alarm. He could assure his noble friend
that he was not going to introduce so fearful a subject, to cause
" the hair to stand on end, like quills upon the frechticl F:u.
pine." Within the last few years maay persons bad their
opiniouN en the subject in England, Ireland, and d.
Political economists now admitted that the question of intro.
during a provision for the infirm and aged poor was one which
ought to be adopted. The House of Commons had come to a
unanimous resolution to take the matter into consideration. H:
should regret to see the Knglish system of poor laws intro-
duced into Ireland, but he was desirous of having a provision
made for those who were incapable, by sickness, infirmity, or
old age, of obtaining a livelihood. (Hear.) The people of that
country had died in the streets for want. He had always in-
sisted on the necessity of having means afforded to avoid dim
miserable termination of life which so often occurred. How for
it was the intention of Government to go, with a view of re-
lieving the poorer classes of Ireland, he was unacquainted. It
had been asked by some of his noble friends why he did not
move for the appointment of a committee? (Hear.) If he could
prevail upon their lordships *accede to such a course, he was ap-
prehensive that there woukLbe a scanty attendance of Irish peers.
However desirous he might be to have a committee of their lorJ-
ships formed, he did not think it expedient to propose that mode
of proceeding, inasmuch as a committee had been formed in
the other House of Parliament on the subject. If that committee
was not productive of ouch measures as appeared to hint
necessary to afford relief to the poorer classes of Ireland, arid
which he thought ought to be furnished, then he would,
with their lordships' permission, come forward with a proposition
to the house on the subject. At present his object was to know the
•views of government; and he hoped the noble duke at the head of
his majesty's government would have the goodness to state what
were the measures in the contemplation of ministers, with a view to
the relief el the Irish poor, during the present session of pailianient.
The Duke of WELLINGTON--ily lords, at the present mu.
ment several measures, yous lordships ate aware, are on the table of
the House of Commons for the benefit of the people of Ireland.
With respect to the particular subject to which the noble earl has
alluded, in the few observations he has made on the present occasiou,
I beg to say that there is no measure exclusively applicable. There
are, my lords, however, other measures, which will incidentally
reach the labouring classes in Ireland, sad afford relief and assist-
ance to those who are destitute from infirmity or decrepitude. With
regard to the first alms of manures introduced in the present session
into the other House of Podiament, relating to grand juries, the
labourer will be secured disc payment for his laboun In another
class of measures there is one for the care of steal children, which
I must say requires envision and alteration before k passes into a
law—(hear). There is another measure to extend the power or
grand juries in the city of Dublin, and. other places, for establish.
ing fever hospitals, undo the authority of 58 Gee. 111. These are
the chief-measures in reference to the subject to which the noble
lord has called your lordship.' attention. I feel assured. that your
lordships will consider tkisdillienhice which attend the poor laws in
this country, and paws beicie.yOu introduce those laws into Ire.
The
kind—(heer

Earl LIMERICK was anxious to shield Ireland from
such an evil. Thocounery Was pow in an improving condition ;

The Karl of WICKLOW did net believe that the bibeuress Own.
lug hum island to this country mused that heenveuiews which

gooey imagined. He doubted marl whether it was an evil. But
adinoting. for the mwke of .tegument, that it was an evil, he begged
to inquire whether the introduction of the poor laws in Ireland
would remove it ?—(hear.) He would maintain that they would
have a contrary effect.
The Earl of WICKLOW considered that it would be highly '
improper to extern', the English poor laws to Ireland. It might as
well be attempted to trtaisplant the woods of Hampshire to the rocks
and bogs oftunnemarra. in the expectation of seeing them flourish.
sic once the poor lows Wtie introduced into Ireland, then there would
he a Nfal put upon the benevolence of private benefactors. From
ii.r door of the Irish, let the mendicant be young or old, maimed or
lo.:lthy. he was never repol‘ed--(hesr.) There he was sure to find
a weleotee. But should the poor laws once be introduced, the effect
weeld he to damp those feelings. For the provision of the aged and
infirm he w::s anxious to see a measure introduced.
After a few words from the Puke of BUCKINGHAM,
The Marquis of SALISBURY. " With respect to the Irish
coming over in the harvest time, I can only say, my
e,r.tinued the noble marquis, " that the harvest is a time
when our own labourer naturally expects to make something ad-
Jitienal ; and it is like taking the bread out of his mouth, to em-
ploy the-Irishman. (Gear.) Besides we arc annoyed by a number
of lti.h, a fortnight or three weeks previously to the harvest, who
go *bout begging from door to door—(hear, and a laugh), causing
rows in ale-houses, and committing robberies. These are facts,
the truth of which many can vouch. As soon as harvest is over,
these men, who have reaped the advantage of their labour, throw
themselves upon the parishes, and are passed at the parish expense
to their native country. Ido think, my lords, that something
should be done to prevent such bodies of Irishmen coming on these
foragiag expeditions—claughter), committing excesses and petty
robberies, and AfterwaTos to be passed to their own country at the
e.ipenee of the parishes where they then happen to be. I do hope
that the motion of the noble duke, which stands for Thursday, will
induce your lordships to consent to the formation of a committee,
in order that the state of the English poor laws 'may be inquired
into, if only for the purpose of declaring what the law is."
The Earl of LIMERICK could not sit still and hear such an.
brought against his countrymen, charging them with
I.:lthelering and committing excesses. (Hear.) Ile denied it in
nett.
The Marquis of SALISBURY assured the noble earl, that he
Raul no intention of offending him—(The Earl of Limerick, " I
Relieve it") —or of imputing to the Irish nation what he had said of
individuals. " The noble earl," added the Marquis of Salisbury,
" will not, I am sure, defend the conduct of persons who may be
justly accused of crime, any more than he will expect me to stand
up for persons similarly circumstanced."
The Earl of LIMERICK signified his satisfaction at the expla-
nation given by the noble marquis.
the Marquis of CLANRICARDE observed that no case had
been mad: out by the noble earl who had brought the subject for-
ward fur the formation of a committee. A more abominable system
could not be introduced into any country than the present system
of the English poor laws. He coincided with all those noble lords
who spoke of the necessity of having a provision made for the sick
and infirm.
Earl DARNLEY recapitulated what he bad previously stated,
contending that his object was to have a provision made only for the
aged, the sick, and infirm.
After a few observations from the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and
Earl STANHOPE, the discussion terminated.
