STATE oy IRELAND.
The Earl of HARROWBY presented a Copy of the Report of
the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of Ireland.
Earl DARNLEY opposed the reception of the. Re-
port. He was awa.e, he said, that 'it contained many
valuable suggestions ; but he could not omit taking
that opportunity of stating his firm conviction that -te.
permanent tranquillity of Ireland would never be esta.
blished until Catholic Emancipation wai fully granted.
He regretted the tone of hostility to the Catholic Claims awumed
by the Noble Earl at the head of his Alajesty's Government, when
this question was last debated. Notwithstanding the silence of the
Report, be felt no hesitation in saying that the evidence upon which
that Report professed to be founded, was most clear unarirnocs, and
satisfactory, as to the necessity of granting Catholic Emancipation.
Without the removal of civil disabilities from the bulk of the peo-
ple of that country, it was in vain to hope fur success its any attempt
to tranquillize or improve Ireland.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he was desirous to
avoid giving rife to any discussion upon this stib:;ec!.
He wculd merely observe, in answer to the Noble
L rd's allusion to the tone in which he had treated the
Catholic. Question, that it was not different from the
language lie usually held upon that subject. As to the Report of
the Committee containing no recommendation on the subject of
Citholic Emancipation, it would only have been extraordinary if it
had. It was neither competent to a Committee to make rectum.
mendations to the House upon the great question itself, nor upon
the minor topic—the Elective Franchise. AU the Committee
could do they bad done, in furnishing
,them the great mass of evi-
dence they had taken. The Report, he understood, so far as it
went, had met with very general satisfaction.
Earl DA RN LEY explained.
Viscount DUDLEY and WARD presented a Nation from the
Tradesmen of Birmingham, and several from places in the vi-
cinity, against the Combination Laws Amendment f3ill--Laid
on the table.

The Marquis of L ANSDOWN presented a Petition from the
Landowners of Axminster, in the county of Devon, in favour of the
Western Ship Canal.—Laid on the table.
Earl GROSVENOR was understood to state, that be bad been
made to say, some days ago, whilst speaking of 41avery, that he had
no hopes it would be abolished as long as the Slave Trade existed;
whereas he had said, that he had no hopes the Stare Trade would
terminate till Slavery should be abolished.

COMBINATION LAWS.
On the Order of the Day for going into a Committee oft theCom-
hination Laws Amendment ISM. .

Tne Marquis of LANSDOWN stated that he had
several Petitions to present against that Bill. He com-
plained that with n two days of the close of the &stints,
their Lordships should b_ called upon to pass a law
which ought to have undergone the deepest considera-
tion, and to do it too, before the necessary information
hai been laid upon their table. Yet even at this late •
pe.iud, without time for deep consideration, and with a
total incapacity for obtaning information, he could
not help admitting that some measure of she kind pro-
posed was highly necessary. The individuals whose
Petitions he held asked to be heard at the bar against
the Bill, and it certainly would be CI; ir Lnidships' wish
'o do them that justice. At another part of the Session
he should have thought it his duty to press a motion to
that t ffect to a division, supposing it possible for their
Lordships to hesitate; but feeling that at present it
would be destructive of the Bill, he should abstain, but
only on that ground, lions making any proposal on the.
subject. The Noble tlarquis then presented a Petition from the
Delegates of the Trades of London and Westminster, praying to be
heard by Counsel against the BilL
The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that it might be
as convenient to give on the presenting of this Petition
the explanation which he had intended to make in the
Committee. He should first acknowledge that he ought
to be ashamed of himself, for the necessity for the pre..
sent measure arose from a Bill passed at the clo.se of
the last Serion, of whit h, at the time, he freely confes-
sed he was wholly ignorant. Had he been aware of its
existence and of its provisions he could never have
given it his consent, and he thought that with a few
words, he should also have satisfied their Lordships.
that they ought not to sanction it by theirs. A Com.
witted appointed by the other House last year had re-
commended the repeal of some obsolete and injurious
statutes, and had the Bill been confined to that, it
would have been useful, but by one sweeping clause it
had repealed the whole of the Common LAW on the
subject of combinations. The attention, of Ministers
and Parliament had been called to the measure, by the
cry which rose from every part of the country, and the
grievance was so great that it was impossible to allow •
