BOGS OF IRELAND.

Mr. BROWNLOW said, the condi ion of the suffering
population of Ireland was past any de•cririon of his : he
would not endeavour to describe that of w licit any de-
scription must fall short : he would on y desire Hon. Mem-
bers not to conceive any thing of the condition of the poor
in Ireland from what they knew of the con lition of the
poor in England. Undoubtedly those members of the
lower classes who were bred in this country to labour,
Ayala subject to all the inconveniences of a toilsome exist-
ence : they were not, however, without the necessaries,
nor without even some of the comforts of life. If these
by any of the accidents of fortune failed them, they had
their national charities to which they could apply. But
in Ireland it was not so. We are there in a state
of society many degrees below the level of the people
of England, both in food, in clothing, in raiment,
and in all the other circumstances for which a
people was appreciated. He believed that in no part of
the wide world was such complicated suffering born with
such exemplary patience as in Ireland. The Committee
which had sat on the subject of Emigration, had stated
in their report that millions rose daily in Ireland,
without knowing to what object they were to direct
their labour during the day. Every year there were
vast emigrations of Irish paupers into this country, in-
duced to come hither by a..prospect of obtaining better
wages than at home. If employment were not given to
Irishmen at home, their appearance here would soon tend
to the injury and demoralization of England. It was im-
possible that there should exist a considerable difference in
the rate of wages attainable in two neighbouring countries
without a tendency to an approximation. Here the
average rate of wages might he taken at 25., while in Ire-
land it did not exceed 4d. per head. Sooner or later, if
matters were allowed to proceed as at present, a most dis-
astrous level of wages would be adopted, to the ruin of the
labourer and manufacturer of this country. He called upon
all who heard him to use their best exertions to put a stop
to the growing evil. The remedy was easy. If they had
millions of unemployed men in Ireland, they bad also mil-
lions of acres of waste ground, capable of profitable culti-

Lord L. GOWER said the House and the country were
much indebted to the Hon. Member for Armagh, for
bringing forward a subject to which it was impossible to
give the most cursory attention without seeing the great
advantage that would be derived from accomplishing the
object in question, the drainage of the bogs of Ireland.
Mr. HUME observed, that ten years had elapsed since
the subject was investigated at the public expense, yet no-
thing was done. After the expence of a survey and com-
mission, it was now left to an individual to bring the matter
before Parliament.
Mr. L. FOSTER said, none of the Commissioners ever
received any remuneration.
Mr. R. GRANT—The great evil of Ireland, as it had
been represented by the Hon. Member for Armagh, con-
sisted in its overpopulousness ; in other words, there were ft
_ _

greater number of persons to be employed than there was
employment for. Taking the inhabitants to be over-
crowded in their present space, that would be the first ef-
fect of a measure such as that proposed by the Hon. Mem-
ber to relieve the over-population by placing it on the
waste parts when reclaimed, and thus both parts of the
country, the old and the new lands, would be relieved.
But, unless the habits of the people were improved by the
introduction of wise alterative measures, the subsequent
effect would he that, in both parts, they would ere long
fill up to a state of repletion and misery exactly like the
present. The great measure now about to he introduced
by Ministers, would indeed remove a bar to improvement,
and in that view was indispensable; but it must be fol-
lowed by others before the full benefit of it could be ob-
tained.
Mr. WALLACE feared that as yet the matter was not
ripe for legislation.
After a few words from Mr•. BRowm.ow-, ►n reply, the
motion was agreed to.
CATHOLIC ANI) ANTI-CATHOLIC PETITIONS.
Mr. O'NEIL, after a few observations respecting Ca-
tholic and anti Catholic petitions, moved that a weekly
return should be made, fin• the use of Members of that
House, of the number of petitions presented, whether for
or against the Rowan Catholics, naming the places from
whence they were sent, and staling the number of signa-
tures to each petition, and the amount of the population
of such places, according to the last census, and that the
first list should include all petitions alrealy presented.
Mr. HUME seconded the 'notion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
posed to the motion because it was unusual, and a depar- •
ture from general practice, and could nut fail hereafter to
he drawn into a precedent on occasions of even perhaps less
emergency or interest.
After a few words from Mr. TRANT and Mr. O'NEIL,
in reply, the motion was by leave withdrawn.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
the House resolved itself into a Conan ittee, in which the
Right Hon. Gentleraa•t proposed a resolution, that an Ad-
dress should be presented to his Majesty, praying that his
Majesty would be pleased to issue, from time to time, sums
of money to pay the fees due by usage to the Officers of
Parliament on the passing• of Turnpike Bills.
After a few remarks front Mr. LYTTLETON, who
thanked the Right Hon. Gentleman for his improvement
of the motion he had submitted last Session, the resolution
was itttreed,to, and reported to the House.

Considerably before twelve o'clock, which was announced
for the opening of the Election, the avenues of, Merton
College leading to the door* of the ConvOcation Hall, were
crowded with Masters, Doctors, Graduates, and others.
At twelve precisely the doors were opened, and the rish
was tremendous. So appalling did the danger of obtain-.
ing admission appeal', that numbers shrunk hack' in dis-
may. As the crowd rushed in, Nobles, Commoners, and
strangers were mingled in one confused scene.of dense up •
roar. In an instant the Convocation Hall was crowded
to suffocation, and the cries of " let me out, let me oat
again !" were vociferated from hundreds, but escape was
utterly impossible.
After some degree of order and silence were obtained,

the VICE-CitaNCET,LOR declared the object of the meeting
in a few Latin sentences in the usual manner and forma-
lities.—(Cries of " Order, order, and hear, hear.")
An officer having read the Act of Parliament, authoris-
ing the form of election,
The VICE-CHANCELLOR then read the writ from
the Crown-office, commanding the members of Con-
vocation to return a proper Member to sit in Parlia-
ment, in the room of the Right Honourable
ROBERT PEEL, who had accepted the office of Steward of
the Chiltern Hundreds.—(Great uproar, and cries of " Go
to the poll ! Go to the poll!")
The VICE CHANCELLOR now announced that the Con-
vocation was ready to receive the nomination of candidates
and votes in their support.—(Go to poll! Go to poll'
resounded from all parts of the Convocation—great num-
bers not knowing that a candidate had not yet been pro"
poeed.)
Dr. Maßsuaar, Warden of Merton College, then rose
and proposed Mr. Peel, amidst the loudest and most vale•
rnent uproar. In doing so, he said, Sir, I cannot but re-
gret that the nomination of the Right lion. Mr. Peel
should have fallen upon this occasion to the hands of
person so unable as I am to bring forward the nomination
O f that gentleman in the manner in which it might have
been brought forward by many other persons present in
this meeting. I feel, Sir, in consequence, very much
depressed on the occasion; bnt I shall endeavour
to discharge my duty to the utmost of my power,
In coming forward now, Sir, I am animated by feelings of
private respect for that gentleman ; I am animated also by
feelises of sincere attachment to this University, for which
if I did not entertain the strongest attachment, I should be
the Most unprincipled of men. Animated likewise tun I
by a sincere regard and zeal for the Established Church
and Constitution of this country.--(lmmenee applause.)
If I had stood up and nominated tiff yon a young man, I'
might h eve proposed a young man who had adorned
all the paths of the Literature of this celebrated Univer-
sity—who had been endowed with all the honourable
principles and feelings of Religions Liberty, which it has
always been the object of this University to instruct
but I might have felt th it I wanted the best of all possible
tests—the test of experience ; but, Sir, I have now to sup-
port a gentleman, who, for twelve years of most active ex-
ertion, has been unremitting in his public career, when
called to various official situations, where his great powers
of mind have been employed ever since—partly for our-
s• Aves, and partly in the service of his King. and his coon-
try.--(Very great cheers, and cries of Poll, poll, poll. )—e • •
I pass on therefore at once, Sir, to that question, upon
which alone I apprehend any thing will be raised by wee
of objection to the election of Mr. Peel on the present oc-
casion-1 mean the question of Catholic Emancipation.--•
(Hear, hear, and Poll, poi!, poll.) It does so happen tbat
I am, perhaps, the only person of my age, in his Majesty's
dotninicns, and holding the situation I do, who ha's /jot
had an opportunity of recording his sentiments of this
great question. I conceive it to be a moat important
(petition. I find by the law regarding that question as it
now stands, on the one side exclusion of many of hie Ma-
jesty's subjects to those rights and privileges which, if they ,
are entitled to have, ought to he common to all mankind.
(Cries of " No Popery !" Poll, poll, poll.)-1 knows"
Sir, that there is a divided Council, and that there is s ,
divided Parliament on this question, which all have
to lament. On the other hand I know, and
am sensible of the restless—the domineering feel-
ing of the Church of Rome—(Great cries of Hear,
hear)—and I FEAR ITS SLAVERY. (Immense cheers sod
applause, which lasted for several minutes.) I fear, Sir,
the arguments of those who oppose me—(hear, hear)---
btaetuse I state candidly that I wish to have the question
fairly brought forward. I wish to state my own opinion
upon the subject. (Hear, hear.) The question is asked,
why should these number of men have been excluded
so long from the privileges which others have enjoyeele
hut for the benefit of the community that it should have
been so ? Sir, I know that under the Constitution of this
country—constituted as it has been for a century and s
half, this country has flourished more than ever it did be-
fore those persons having been thus excluded.—(Great
• cries of bear, hear ; and go to poll then ! go to poll then.)
—Under these circumstanoes, Sir, I am led to state then
that the question appears to me to be one of the greatest
difficulty—and I ant induced, in Christian charity, to
admit that there are persons who are bound to support
both sides of this great and important question. (Dreadful
uproar and cries of Poll! poll! which were reiterated along
the Members of the Convocation in the outer hall, who
did not know what was going forward, but who eagerly
caught up any sounds they heard from within.) • Sir, it
is not to be deuied that the man which this glut Unim-

sit) hai taken is invariably adveise to the Catholic Faith—
(Cries of " Surely, surely—aye, and it ever will be," with
immenee uproar and commotion ; and "Break the windows,
break the wintlows,' the heat and suffocation were so in-
supportable. ) Nor is it to be denied that one of the great
motives, and which in my humble judgment and belief,
of all others ought to have been so, which induced this
University in former times to return Mr. Peel to Parlia-
ment was the course he had avowed, and which he had
hitherto taken with respect to this question.—(Applause.)
Neither is it to be denied that this great University upon
various occasions has declared to—l had almost said in-
structed the Legislature what its views on this great ques-
tion might to be._-(hear, hear, hear.)—Sir, I come now
to a cirMunstance which took place on the sth Feb. last.
It is peifeetly well known that a Convocation at that time
was held here for the purpose of petitioning Parliament
on this subject. Now, on that occasion it appeared to
a vast majority that that petition should be presented.—
(Hear, hear.)--The petition was conceived in strong but
temperete language. I feel it my duty to acknowledge
that that petition, supported, as it was, by a very large
majority, must be taken as hiving at that time spoken the
).lens and sentiments of this majority on that important
question.—(Shouts of Hear, hear, hear, and very great
eomenotion.)—l know, Sir, that there was attached
to that petition the names of persons honourable,
and entitled to the most profound respect every where, and
on all occasions--names for liberality, morality, and reli-
gion, that stand unrivalled.—(lmmense applause, great
"afttainn, and cries of Poll, poll ! which lasted for several
minutes.)—lf the measures that have been now proposed
had then been known to have been about to be proposed,
that petition would in all probability have been post-
p°ued•—(Great confusion and uproar, with cries of
No, no, no no? Poll, poll, poll !")—(The confu-
si°U here contintied very peat for some minutes,
amidst deafening shouts of adjourn to the Theatre, which
was represented to be twice as large as the Convocation-
hall ; and the windows were broken with great indignation,
and cries of " that's right, that's right.")
The VICE CHANCELLOR at length arose, and entreated
that the meeting would show respectful conduct on this
occasion.
Mr. ELLISON (a gentleman apparently of great re-
spectability, called out from one of the outer doors.)
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Clear the house of the Under
Graduates, and make room for the Members of the Convo-
cation.--(Shouts of laughter and great confusion.)
Dr. Dlaasnara again obtained a partial hearing, and en-
deavoured to proceed. Sir, Mr. Peel thought proper to
tender his resignation, and in having done so, he has been
actuated by every honest, honourable, and every proper
principle--(Cries of no, no, with continued cries of " make
room for the Masters! adjourn to the Theatre! and break
the Windows, for this is too hot and too small.")—l cannot,
however, help thinking that his resignation has placed us
in this very unpleasant dilemma.—(lmmense laughter, and
cries of poll! poll !)--Sir, he has been tried for the last
twelve yearse-and I now consider him placed upon his
trial.__(Great confusion.)—That he has been actuated
by the,-firmest principles of virtue, and the most honour-
able motives I firmly believe, and that he will hereafter
be able to prove that he has done so—(here the venerable
speaker's voice was drowned in cries of Poll, poll, poll,
T and Immense uproar.) On resuming, he continued :
L insist, Sir, that I consider Mr. Peel now on his trial,

with con!euntlingechos frOm the adjoining courts "
and balls.

(Repeated calls of " Sit down, sit down," and dreadful
confusion)-...Sir, I recommend, with all due deference,
Mr. Peel to be again your Representative.—(ltn-
raense cries of "No, no--poll, poll," and great confusion.)
It appears to me that all the disabilities under which the
Roman Catholics labour can be removed—affording at the
same inns permanent security to our Protestant Religion
and Institutions. (Poll, poll.) I say that I consider

Dr. Inmost, Head of Trinity, then rose, to put in no-
mination Sir Robert Inglis. He made but very few ob-
servations, and the cries of " Poll! poll " and confusion
were 80
great, that very few, if any, heard any
thing le said.' He stated that what had fallen from
1)r. Marsham, so far from inducing those present to vote
for Mr. Peel's re-election was as wide as the East was
from the West from having any such tendency. Did
they consent to elect Mr. Peel, anti the proposed
measure prevailed, they might as well at once adopt the
Principle of universal sufferage.—(Great applause, confu-
