IRELA tITIILSVCOMPOSITION SILL.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the Order of
the Day, upon which- their Lordships had been sum-
moned, for the second reading of the Bill for regu-
lating the modes of composition and, commutation of
Tithes in Ireland, and qualifying the same. It now-
became his duty, the Noble Earl said, to propose to
their Lordships the second reading of a Bill, which
was allowed by all .parties to he in itself one of the
moat important measures that ever had been brought
under the consideration of the. House. He knew, in-
deed, that even in undertaking a measure of this sort
'his Majesty's Government had engaged in no easy
task, as, besides the known difficulties of this mea-
sure, it was actually the first of the kind ever yet
offered to the consideration of the Imperial Parlia-
ment. But so complicated were the interests Most
likely to be affected brthit, measure, and so- ohsti-
'nate the prejudices that were likely to impede its
fair operation, that it was not without a considerable
'degree of hesitation he ventured to broach it. He
was aware that in the outset it would be opposed by
two descriptions of persons. Of these the first ap-
prehended that the welfare-of the Established church
was endangered ; but here he hoped that the whole
tenour of his political life, from its commencement to
the prevent dq, without one ereeption, would suffice
to exempt him from' even a suspicion' of injuring that
very Church' to which he professed so te'alous an at-
tachment. By the established laws of Ireland, which
were' confirmed by the Articles of Union, their Lord-
ships were bound to secure the Church of Ireland in
its legal integrity; and, although for Imes he (Lord
Liverpool) should- consider all obtrusive methods to
convert the Catholics of Ireland most unwise, yet he
looked with some confidante to the progress of know-
ledge in that council?, when coupled with the re-
sidence of the • Established Clergy, who had proved
'the true friends of the population at large. There
were great diffesencesof opinion as to, the real causes
of those evils which afflicted the Sister Kingdom;,
some differed on the question of residence, and, per.
haps, the great evil of non-residence or absenteeship-
was not remediable in the present state of things.
But among the most tfseful supplementary aids ougtiL
to be reckoned the residence in that country of the
Clergy of the Established Church of the United-
Kingdom ; for the withdrawing of that body viostld'
only add to the miseries of Ireland. This wasaniseng
the considerations which induced him to nippers*
measure that tended not to. weaken but rather to'
strengthen the Church, by doing away Wrth that Which
diminished the influence of the Clergy in Ireland; and
it wars because he believed this alterstkn Wosrld ho bet-
ter for the Church that be proposed the present Hr L
With respect to the amount of tithelio inland, it was'
notorious that the proportion bets en the Clergy
and lay impropiiatisrs might be **WOW at about
the one:half to two-thirds, while the Clergy were
most indulgent in their claim. tar,. however, from
thinking that tithes were abstractedly the worst me-
dium of supporting the Clergy, be was inclined to
think it the best method tst prying ; if io,. it must be
called an Established Church. Helifirtned this from
experience in a quarter where tithes were always well
collected ; but the-difficulty in all cases was in the
assumption of geneialities, which would not apply
to the particular. case of Ireland. The real source of
evil, as it related to Ireland, was in the subdivision
of property, which operated so as to prevent the ex-
istence Of a middle class of society, in Which, every
man of reflection knew, consisted the. strength of
civilized States. The evil lay, therefore, in frittering
down, by so subdividing, the land of Ite)and, where
these contributions Were to be raised on from afteen
hundred to two thousand men, pauper;proprietors,
whiCh would otherwise be raised' rom among tea or
twelve rich farmers. The merits of the-presentitill
might safely rest, not upon the least objection to
tithes, tier upon the richness of the country, but upon
the real state of landed property in Ireland. He
came now, more directly, to the affairs of the Estab-
lished Church, and here again were three cases of
application as it respected the Bill. it-might happen,
that both the incumbent and the parish were content
to remain as they were before; or both parties might
be desitons of a commutation of tithes; or- in ano-
ther case, doubts -might have arisen on both sides.
With respect to the 'first ease, when the incumbent
ithd the parishioners should be satisfied with their re-
lative situations, it might soon .be sot rid. of. With

at the expiration of only threeyears. Ultimately the I
parties had the privilege of an appeal to one of the{
most solemn authorities in the State—the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Leland in Council, whiCh qualification must
provide, in all cases, fur an equitable composition.
The great evil'in this adjustment was, that the Bill
hod not to deal with the landholder alone; but, as-
the leases fell in, the principle of the Bill miglitbe.'
applied to them. Such, therefore, was the general
outline of the Bill be had to propose to their Lord- i
ships. He did not propose it as a perfect mea-1
sure, but as one requiring some revision in future,'
though it was wished to• try its effect now. Speaking
from the experience he had, he had never known any .
one measure at once perfect. Some clauses were
found more easy in their operation, and more benefi-
cial than was expected at the outset ; and more pro-
mising clauses were found entirely to fail. Experir
ments could not always be anticipated as to results.
The present Bill had been long before the other
House, where also it wai discussed with great
anxiety, at least by those Members who were con-
nected with Government. Ile would admit that it
proposed an experimental measure ; but if their
Lordships should delay till they had got pc4session of
a perfect Bill, in all probability no Bill would ever
be passed.. For all these reasons he should move,
that the present Bill be now read a second time.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN was willing to hope
all that the Noble Earl seemed to anticipate-Cron,.
the passing of this Bill, and that its effects might
alleviate those most calamitous • circumstances so
afflicting to Ireland ; but he certainly would rather
• ave given his consent to any Bill more -decidedly
calculated to soften and qualify those asperities,
Which, Goo knew, required much to soften and qua-
lify them, now visiting the people of Ireland. What
lwas the language of other Bills? Did not the Bill
irecently passed tell the people of Ireland that they
'were not in a condition to enjoy the blessings of the
aritish Constitution, when they had suffered all the
miseries of misgovernment for upwards of a hun-
red years? It was the inoumbent, but he was sorry
Ito say, neglected duty of the Imperial Parliament,
Ito have alleviated more effectually the miseries of
Ireland. When, therefore, lie considered the com-
plicated machinery of the present Bill, considering
the difficulties of acting by Vestries, he feared, that
in many cases thh measure would be useless. There
appeared to be no fair reciprocity hi the relation''
of the parties to the present Bill; for he consi-
dered
the church to be quite as much interested
as the tithe-owner; • and, therefore, the principle
of a perfect reciprocity ought rigidly to. haVe been
adhered to.—Either let their Lordships make the
law of Ireland a system of bayonets, and nothing
else; or, if latitude were allowed at all, let lati-
tude be extended to both sides of the question.
Hewes not able to collect, from the Noble Earl, the
principle of the computation for seven- years, ending
with the year 1821, and including five or six years
before the passing of what was commonly called Mr..
Peers'Bill. If the people were polled in this case,
respecting the obvious fluctuation of property, no
person would aver that it was consistent with justice
to assume the average of years in the absence of a
currency since restored, and at a peiiod when an arti-
ficial, and to say the least of it, a most mischievous
kind of substitute current), was in' full circulatioh,
more especially in Iretaud.' •tle would contend, that
the Act would not act frepartially, for the person
who had purchased . property tithe free ought to be
exempted from the operation of the Act. He thought
the holder of such land had'a right to say that if he
'should be compelled to contribute to the support of
'the Clergy? the obligation ought to be compulsory
upon all holders of land without discriMination. He
Rauch feared the Bill would not. produce the effects
expected from it, unless it were accompanied by other

:iota One of those was -a Bill for commute-

tickler tides in beihapd. He regretted that the Noble
!Earl bad been silent upon :that flint. He ought to
.
have informed the House wb ir that measure,
which would go to reform the whole. system altoge-
ther, was in contemplation. To such a Bill lie should
be particularly partial. He should not, however, ob-
ject to the present Act, calculated .as it was to pre-
'vent the necessity of the Clergy coming in obnoxious
contact with the people, and thereby remove that
cause of enmity towards their Protestant Pastors
which he found at present prevailed. It would also
dispose them to receive the lights and benefits of in-
struction from the Clergy ; and also dispose them to
abandon all idea of foreign assistance, which he ap-
prehended they looked for to enable hem to get rid
of the grievance; it would also place the Clergy upon
a footing more respectable, and render their existence
more safe, by identifying them with the people. He
admitted that the Bill before their Lordships was one
step forward, but he thought it not calculated to
serve the Church, the Clergy, or the Laity. He
should not, however, offer to it any opposition.
• The Earl of HARROW BY thcught it could not
be proved that the Clergy had ever received all that
they were entitled to, it was, consequently, impossible
that, as had• been contended, they could have ever re-
ceived more than their rights. He admitted that the
proprietors of lands-which had not hitherto paid tithe,
would incur a hardship by the Bill; but it ought to
be recollected that in allotting the proportion which
they should be callechipon to pay, they would them- ,
'Selves have-a voice. H. thought the Bill would he
found to produce advantage both to the payer and
the.receiver of the:titbe; and that, ere long, the in-I
creased trauquillity of. the country growing out of
the Bill, by removing- the .existing causes of-discon-
'tent, would induce those whom be had just described
*of to regret that they Nrerg called upon to pay a few
potinds, shillings, and- pence more than they pay at.
went.. He was equally anxious with . the Noble
Vitquit for the introdtiction of the tithe commuta-
tion; but he Wished to. remind, their Lordships that
to Alf from its introduction being impeded by the
tent-Bill, it would be thereby facilitated.
. -The 'Earl of eiCRNARVON said, that one of two
things must happen ;*either that we should get rid of
tithes, or we should get rid of behind. Ile thOught
-there was an appearance Of 'partiality' in the Bill,
which hebelieved, however,- was nor in the-contein-
platioa of its franicis ; it undoubtedly pressed by the

tithe of agistmeni, upon a class of landed proprietors
who had never hitherto been called upon to contribute.

PENITENTIARY.

Mr. BENNET brought up the Report of the Mill-
hack penitentiary. The Hon. Member. conceived it.
Tight to state, that no persons could perform their duty
nth
more diligence than those to whom this business 4
was entruqed ; they had visited the hospitals, . and
had seen those who were confined in them. For his
part he would say, that there was nothing more dis- •
agreeable to him than the whole of the inquiry; the
most minute tavestigation had been made -into every
thing, and no ulame whatever could be attached to-the
Antution; every individual connected with it had per-
formed his duty with the greatest accuracy. They had
examined most strictly into the conduct
-of the,
medical men, and found that no blame could be at-
tributed to these person!, nor to the !medical -man
(Mr. A. C. Hutchison) who was dismissed from the
situation, though not only skilful in his, profession,.
but uniformly kind and attentive to the unfortunate
convicts who bad been placed, for so many years,
under his superintendance. Ile, therefore, thought
he was bound to state, that every duty connected
with the establishment was pei formed with at-
tention and correctness. As to the reports of sick-
ness, it was known to some, though perhaps not
to the public in general, that there was not a pi iscn
which was not visited with disease, and that at the
commencement of this year, the mortality in London
fOr the space of three months, was equal to the ()i-
-diom mortality at other seasons io eight months.
—He was happy to state that disease had now sub-
sided, under the care of the-able physicians who had
been called in. As a proof of this assertion, he
would mention that the number of sick in the Peni-
tentiary last May was 139. The number-at present
was 23. The number of prisoners at the former
period was J 45, the number at present was 432. He
would move that the eport be 14iJ on the. table.
The Report wo brought up and agreed to, and ordered to be
rioted.

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
•
Mr. HUME rose, to call the attention of the House
to a subject which had been suggested to him in con-
sequence of the proceedings of last night. He con-
sidered every attempt to impede the examination of
the measures of Ministers, as an interference with the
privilege of the House. Now a course had been pur-
sued this Session, which he believed had never been
resorted to in any preceding Session, viz.-that or pass-
ing the Appropriation Bills without any one in the
House knowing that they bad passed. The Honour-
able Member then went into a detail of what had
been tile usual practice of Parliament on such occa-
sions. Under ad the circumstances of this case, see-
ing that it was at least probable that some evasion
was intended by the o•nission of this Bill, he telt
himself called upon to move a Resolution to the effect
—That with a view to afford an opportunity of ex-
amining and controuling the vines of Parliament, it
wasright that due notice should be given—That the
Appropriation Bill had this year been passed without
theusual notice, by which such due examination was
hot afforded.—The Resolution having been secoixded,
The CHANCELLOR of the.aCkIEQVER rpse,
not to deny the necessity of a vigilant attention to
the votes of the House, In this case, too, •he was
quite wilting to admit, that if any error had arisen,
it was attributable to himself. He could not, how.
ever, help thinking, that the Hon. Member for Adler-
deen had taken an erroneous view of this subject,
from mistaking the forms u • wally gone throstgli, with
respect to this Bill. The clause of Appropriation had
frequently been appended to. Bills of a different de-
seription. It had sometimes been appended to a
Consolidated Bill—occasionally to au Eschequer
Bilh Bill: arc FIIINIE—No. •

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I I
beg pardon, it has been appended on more occasions
then.one to an Exchequer Bills Bill. It is never
brought up specifically as an Appropriation Bill. He
would, however, take care in future that it sisould be
known universally to what particular Rill it was in-
tattled to append the clause is question.
Mr. MABERLI acquitted the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman of any design to suppress the notice of the
Appropriation Act, but he thought it so impOttant as
to demand the fullestpublicity.
Air. ABERCROMBY said, this had been admitted
m t clear departure from the ordinary practice, and
it should no longer be permitted to prevail. There
was no notice that it was intended to introduce this
Appropriation clause on :the present occasion, and
this House ought certainly to hum fes e to prevent the
rectuvence of such a practice.
Mr. HtiSKISSON was not at all disposed to re-
tract or qualify any of the obiervations he made last
night with respect to the mode in which they had
proceeded. The Appropriation clause had been ad-
ded
to a. variety of Bills dissimilar in their nature—
and when his Hon. Friend gave notice of the Budget
he expressly referred to the Appropriation clause, and
mentioned his intention of introducing it.
After a few words from Lord A. HAMILTON, Mr.
CA LCRAFT, Mr. LUSHINGTON, and MT. CANNING, the
motion was withdrawn.

DISTILLERIES.
Tbe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the third reading of the Distillery Bill.
NI?. W. SMITH said, that within an hour he had
resented a Petition from the persons interested, pray- ,
iog to be heard by Counsel against the Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the .EUHEQUER re•
gretted that the Petitioners had not instructed the
Hon. Member to name the clause which wasrobjected
tc 4; the law now stood the Scptch distiller was
allowed to distil for the English market, upon giving
a year's notice ; but all that time his still must not
work, Nobody could doubt but that this was very lwd
upon the Scotch distiller. He, therefore, thought it
would be delaying the Bill to hear counsel, and yet
he thought it would be hard to press this clause, so
hurtful to their interests.
Lord A. H A MILTON thought this measure should
he.made AS peifeet asp°. ssible belorethe House should
be prq oguel
bit. K. DOUGLAS said tees intercourse clause had
bees most maturely considered;' and the only thin
to be regretted was, that the intercourse part of the!
!.sure could not be completed.
Mr. BRIGHT hoped that the Chapcelbaruf the Ex-
chequer would persevere in his intention to equalize,
the duties on the trade of the three kingdoms.
Mr. WALLACE thought the distillers of England
