SECRET SERVICE MONZT—ISZLAND.
laird ELLEN BOROU H, understanding that there would Ilir
mo opposition to the motion of which he had given Deface yestesdat
foe Returns respecting the Secret Service Money, and the
of the Foreign Department, should make as observations upon the
'subject. But seeing a Noble Viscount and, js Noble and Learned
,bond lately connected with the legal adniintaratioil of Ireland in
-their places, he wished to ma a few questions to these. The. Report
• of the Irish Committee of that House in 1345, had reconimended.
the adoption of tenth: Measure* for the amelioration of the condh.i
tioa of Ireland. Several of these measures had been carried instil
effect, and a considerable time since a Noble Marquis had inquired
eat the Earl of Liverpool what further steps it was intoudsd to takes
The Earl of Liverpool had then matted into a general expiated's*.
and Bills had been brought in. Two points, however, remeleed
• • -untouched; Education and Grand Jury Presentments. With
-respect to the latter, it had been understood that a measure would
" • soon be submitted to Parliament. He wished to know whether
'that was still to be the case? As to Education, the Earl of Liver-
;pool had stated, that it had been wished to act on the suggestion of
the Committee, but that the prejudices existing between Catholics
and Protestants had been found to strong, that it bad beeu deter.
mined to try an experiment in a place where least opposition
wa
Anticipated. He now wished to know whether the experiment had
" been tried, and with what result? and be put that question to the
• Noble Lords, as Members of the late general Government.
Viscount GODERICH, though• he did not think it incumbent
.on himself to answer questions put without previous notice, on a
subject of very great intricacy and difficulty, should endeavour to
-watery the Noble Lord. With respect to Grand Jury Peesent-
errata, be was nut prepared to say more than that the subject bad
..occupied the serious attentioa of the Irish Government. From the
nature of his late situation, be had few (TP01114041" of knowing
inure. At to Education. the Cousinissien appointed to inquire into
the subject would expire in the course of the present year. It had
presented several Reports, accompanied with VO:111111111,11111 evidence
and &cements. One copy of these hail been laid before the other
House, and also, be presumed, on their Lordships table. The
Commission, however, was about to pees. ot it. final Report, and
it was impossible for his Right Honourable Friend at the head Of
the Home Office, or for the Irish Government, to come to any de-
termination till that Report had been produced. lie had lately had
occasion to express his opinion as to the peculiar difficulties of
tv
subject, and they were such that it would be quite absurd to de-
cide ten any thing until the attai Report bad been received.
Lord ELLEN BOROUG H said that he hattorily asked Whether
lbeintended experiment had been tried, and with what success.
Viscount 60Pli.RICH assured the Noble lord that if he had
had any notion that the question would be asked, be should have
been shit -to answer it without difficulty.
The 3 mews -LANSDOWN (bum the Treasury Bench),
that when he had put to the Earl of Liverpool the questions
vorwhichche Noble Baruabad alluded, be had given him sonic
alage.notise,by means or sish.ch ate Noble Earl bad been able to
Answer. It was the opinion of that Noble Hari that nothing could
be done till the final Report bad been received*, but the subject ore'
csipied the earnest attention of the Goveritmeut.
Lord ELLEN BOW/VG 14 bed thought it quite impeesibiat for
-the Noble Vim:smut not to be able to give a general anima to his
vieedem-e-The motions were then put and agreed to.
NEW ADMINISTRATION.
• -•
The Earl of WINCH E:LSEA said, he wished to
• seize that op; ortunity of recalling to the •atteution of
the Noble Lords opposite [the Noble Earl vpt'ke from
the Opposition side of the II iuse3—..ll amongst those
who had recently taken their seats there, he saw some
very warm friends of three great Constitutional Ques-
tions, which they had long, and ably, and strenuously
supported—he wished, he said, to take that opportunity
of calling their attention to the this e great Constitu-
tional Q iestious of Parliamentary Itermar, t. e Aboli-
tion of Sioecure Places, and the Repeal art the T.st Act.
It it was not the intention of those Noble L...rds to bring
those Qoestions before their Lordahips, he, droop
thinking differently from chase Noble Lords, would
submit those ci ieitions to their Lordships, in some shape
or othr, though it were only as an experiment to ti y
the opinions of their Lordships—(Hear, hear). • The
present Administration was composed of different poli-
tical patties, who had supported, for a long series of
-years, opinions dianiettically opposite to each other, and
lie should think it his duty to bring the Questions he
bad mentioned before the House, in order to ascertain
their present opinions. On the 7th of June, therefore,'
be should bring for ward a motion for their Lordships'
to resolve themselves into a Committee, to consider the
State tif the Nation. He did not Merl wish to state the
grounds on which he should support his motion ; but
w told state, as one reason, that the Noble Lords op-
. ' /smite could only agree among each other, either by
• •giving up their political principles and character, or by
pledging his Majesty's Government to the support of
these dace great questions. For this reason, and be.
cause he thought it was necessary for the preservation
• co•oser national and political character, he should bring
' these questions to a decided i.sue. The Noble Earl con-
cluded by moving, that their Lordships be summ ned
. tor Alooday,June 7th. •
Some coavonatioe ensued as to the cenveniency of this day, and
. ukiniately the Noble Eatl said June 11th.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that be-
fore the motion of the Noble Earl should be brought
forward, it would be expedient to know exactly how
his Majesty's Government stood, for it was confidently
• seportel that sortie of its present Members had only
been placed provisionally in their seats. • •
The Earl of HARRO W BY rose to order. I am sorry,
he-said, to interrupt the Noble Marquis, but these is nu
question before your Lordships. Arguments of that
kind, when they do not apply many question. are only
a waste of your Lordships' time, and 1 cannot allow the
Noble Marquis to proceed without calling him to or-
stler--(Hear).
The Earl of LAUDERDALE—My Lords, there is
a szoti in before your Lordships—a motion that your
Lordships be summoned on a certain day—(Hear).
The Marquis& LONDONDERRY in continuation.
If I am not out of order —and I shall not believe I am
till the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack says I
am-1 shall not suffer myself to be put down by the
Noble Lord. 11 the Noble Lords opposite want to put
any Noble Lord down, they must address themselves
to a man of different character and spirit. Your Lord-
ships know, that after what has passed respecting the
notice of a motion, that I was not out of order, when in.

extreme haste the N hie Lord, opposite rose to attaa
to stop me. I was not owl -of order, but he was IP
a> ry--4Hear,hear; He felt dm his situation 1
aallelvarL for he is not autetkat the Noble Lords oa
right an on his left will'remain—(Hear, hear). 1 a
of the sarnioliimon as the Noble ' Lord, but I should
like to get better information. I have a right to say
wbatsis publicly reported. The Noble Lord whin is
Secretary of State for the, Foreign Department, and the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, are not to
•be Secretaries of Sate permanently. They have ac-
cepted these Secretaryship, till some Noble Lords find
they can join the Administration, or till they can in-
duce thernselvss to fill the situations. Respe.ting
the notice for the, motion, my advice to the Noble
Earl is, th it he should wait to see what the issue
will be. Are we to understand, I should like to
know, that the N ible Lords now in office are to re-
main, or are the S;cretaries 'for Foreign Affs;re and the
Home Department appointed only provisionally till the
proper persons 4:e ready to fill them ? This is an
important question, and the state
.of things ought to
be understood. The present Admiltistratioo has been
formed by in artificer, who has divested it of many
pillars on which
.it rested—has. destroyed its fair
proportions, and ifie has composed the paits he has
put together of a sort of rubbish. I approve of the
dexterity of the artificer, but with respect to the dura-
bility of the edifice. I Cannot say much. This artificer
will find himself disappointed—he will find his ma-
terials want strength, and will not hold together. Half
of them will not remain. The artificer and the country
' are of .d.ffmerit opinions, for the country does not 1.61
the Whigs. I think it is not possible that this great
country can be so governed. Good Goo I is this the
British Logislature which for the last twenty year; was
guided by men who had saved this great country ? You
do not, as you go through the streets, hear any man
speak.ng, who dues not say. " What ! is it come t 6 thi ,
that the First Lord of the Treasury has resolved to ally
himseif with a part of those whom h. had formerly
opposed ? Has he.taken those into his Councils who
have so long been hostile to eves yo.iug that was pro-
posed by those Noble Lords with whom he so long
acted, and who so wisely governed this country ?
And what a Government has he given us to carry
oa the business of th: nation ?' But it is only a
provisional Government. There is one of this sub-
ject on which I feel it painf 11 to touch, bet the
public good is p.ramount with me, and I most
speak my opinion.. There is one Noble Lord whom I
see opposite, with whom I have loog been very inti-
mate, whose honesty, candour, and great qualities I
admire (the N ble Marquis alluded to Lord Goderich),
and son y am I, to find that he has separated (torn those
individuals with whom he has bean closely connected
for the last twenty years. I will not go back and ask
him how he can reconcile such a state of things ;• but •I
thiiik he cannot fairly contemplate. them without a feel-
, ing of deep pain.. Ear be it from me to complain of
inconsistency. Ito not complain: I only speak my
opinions. I dare say I shall be told that I ought not to
ttate these things, bat my feelings force me to speak.—
Such cf .heir Los dships as think to lord it over the Hou.e
shall not 10:d it over me. I have a right to state what I
think, and 1 will riot allow myself to be sut down. I did
not intend to say one woo:Iv/heal came into the House.
and I only roe for the purpose of adv:sing the Nohle
Lord to postpOne his 'usolion. lOW art sagest to see
the Noble Lord so well prepared spot me down., and
so long as I erljoyolte.cosifidence of the House, so long
I shall stand up in my plie:: and itillit-disti..ctly and
,directly my opinion—Mess, hear). .
.•..
Lord Viscount . GODERICH • obit the Marquis of
SALISBURY rose at the same time, but Lord Viscount
Goderich being called (or, proceeded:—Ealing very
warmly, my Lords, some of the ternaries of the N .ble
Lord, but having been only recently introduced•among
' your Lordships, and being _ one of those pet sons who
have been called by my Noble Fiend—tor so I must
still call hints—subbishs f should be wanting to tnylf
and your Lordships4l I -did not say a few words to you.
It the Administtation is composed of rubbish, I cer-
tainly can say for myself, that I will not consent to be
beat in detail, and will-not enter i.rto discussions inci-
dentally introduced, whe)n we ate to take our trial on
the 7th. of Jime. The Noble Lord may prepare the
storm, and let loose the winds that are to blow us from
our situations, we shall be prepared to meet it—(Hear,
hear), and we shall not care a straw for the conse-
'pence'. I shall say for myself, that the only circum-
stance which puts me in my present situation ; which
makes me a Member of his Majesty's Government. was an
• anxious desire :o prevent the dissolutit n of the Govan-
ment. I shall not now go into the derails ;but if I had
not yielded, I was told, that the Administration would
separate ; when I was most unsions to leave office, I was
pressed to remain—(Heat, hear, hear). 1 am entitled
; to say, that I ask only for a fair field, and no favour, and
I will abide the resort, let it be what it may—(Cheers).
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY explained, that
: he applied the epithet rubbish, only to those persons
who had come in. He had not included his Noble Friend.
The Marquis of ANGLESEY—As I am one of the
persons to whom the Noble Lord applies the word, I
must beg leave to say a few words, Aftef the expla-
, I nation 1 gave the other evening, of the motives which
induced me to join the Administration, I must give up
, I all idea of replying day by day, to any observation that
t may be made on me. 1 shall not, thereto:re, trouble
I your Lordships any further, than merely to recall that
explanation to your notice.
Lord KING said, I will give your Lordships an expla-
nation of the word rubbish. There are few of your
Lordships, I believe, who have not been engaged
in building, and those who have, know that rub-
bish is that which is removed—(Loud laughter).—
The Noble Marquis on the opposite side wishes to see
ism end of the Government, and has endeavoured to show
that the Government will not stand. 1 believe the Go-
vernment will stand, in spite of the Noble Marquis. Hr
bad used the simile of a building ; but he would find
that the country thought the present building, even
with the scaffolding yet about it, as more useful and
mole ornamental than the old building now fallen into
ruins. The Noble Marquis seemed to be a great egotist,
.and wants to have everything his own way; but 1 shall
give him the answer which a French General gave to a
German who drew out his battalions and challenged
him to a battle : "Nu," said the Fienchm in, " I shall
not fight when it suits your wishes; I shall fight when
it suits my own plan and my time." This is what eta y
good General will do; and we shall follow this plan,
and only fight when it suits us. _
The Marquis of SALISBURY—The whole discus.
sion has been caused by the intemperate conduct of a
Cabinet Minister. The Noble Lord had been for many
years in that House, and it was not to be expected that
he shooed bare behaved so precipitately. .Theie is no

&slat that the Cabinet, as now harped, it sully OM.
slonaL Ititso avowed ; and the Voteign- filiniitee is
not to keep-his plow. Men-were noxious to 'mein place
lit the expense of political eansistency. Toe Right Hots.
'Oentlerhan at the head of the Government bin placed
'hintself in the horns of .a dilemma; and either hi must
,betray the cause of hr has b.en, for many years,
the ablest and most violent advocate,or he must betray
the Constitution. The cause of this is the-aitsbltion of
the Right Hon. Gentleman, who, to satisfy his ambition,
has turned out those most able to serve the country, and
who had served it long with grest credit to themselves,
and great advantage to the country.
're Earl of HARROWRY.—I wish to set myself
right with' the H ruse. 1 certainly did not kinitw that
the motion had not been put and dispo ad of. When
I called the Noble Marquis to order, I thought that the
Noble Earl's motion had been put and carried ; but
even then, I do not know that I am not doing your
Lordship; a service when 1 cal a N ,ble Lord to order
will is entering into a discussion of the leason, for
entertaining a motion of which another Noble L rd
is given notice. I did n t wish to putoliim doa n, and
the NAle Marquis knows that it is not possible for any
Noble Lord to prevent another addressing your Lord-
ships whenever he thinks proper; but many unprofitable
discussions ate saved by strictly following the rules of
debate. As for what the Nob e Marquis was going to
say being Unpleasant to me, 1 could not know whether
it was ts. be pleasant or unpleasant; but we shall
have enough of both, and it we can postpone the
unpleasant part until the ap,,ointed day comes, he
must admit that it will be better. Like my Noble
Friend, I must deprecate all discussion in detail till the
day comes on which the motion of the Noble Earl is to
be brought forward. With respect to myself, my Lads,
I must say, that, if 1 am here, it is not my own wish.—
My wish, at this period of my life, is to retire from
cffice; and I am entitled to retire, part:calatly when 1
• feel that the little faculties and power I had to benefit
the public service are fast diminishing. Butt have not
h-sitated to sacrifice my wish, and to remain. It I can
do anything either more or less directly, to obtain the
greatest of all the objects its the political himisphete, 1
tel that I am bound to do it—that there u no 'seri-
fice I am not ready to make—n) feeling of personal in-
convenience to which 1 will not submit, to obtain this
object—( Hear, hear). There is no sacrifice lam not
ready to make to put an atom is that scale which I
.kink ought to preponderate.
The Earl of WINCHELSEA said, he wou'd post-
pone his motion from Jane 11 to May SI:
The Eta of ELDON assured his N .ble Friend (the
EAt lof irro a by) that the change in their places had
net produced any in the sentiments of respect and
fritod-hip which he entertained for hi n. With respect
to the new motions of the Noble Earl who gave the
notice, its only irregularity was in the oddity of his,
teeming a question flints the 11th of June to the Slat.,
of May —(Lairg.hte.).
The E.srl of WINCHELSEA said, he would on
Monday give notice of the day when be should submit
his motion to their Lordshi; s. •
E.rrl SPENCER objected its this coarse. A motion
had been regularly brought bears their Lordships. and
it could not, be disposed of without their Lordships'
eon.e:::. He bad no objection, if the Noble Earl.
pleased to withdraw his motion, to consent to its being
nithdrawn.
Att,r a short corrversatiln or. this point, rile motion
was withdrawn, it being ondeistood that the Earl of
Witacustsaa was, on Monday mat, to state on what
day he should make his motion.—Adj named till Mon-
day. •

OP SUPPLY.

Mr. BERRIES moved that the Committee of Supply be post-

Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE said he entertaioed opinions
at the present moment with respect to the altucion of his Alajisty's
Government and the state of the c +natty as arising out of that
situation, which void oblige him to differ upon miny subjects
that would be brought forward by the Right Honnurabhs Gentle-
men whu now formed that Government. Thin, was no subject
that called for greater caution and consistency than the granting
supplies to the Government for carrying on Its various branches.
He did not mean to oppose all grants to his Majesty's Governmert
—(A iattgb)—but as be had a duty to perform, he would execute
in his own way, and according to his own judgment, as one of
the Representatives of the Commons of England. He had felt,
within the last few days,' much anxiety and pain at the course
which had been adopted by these Honourable Members who used
to sit at his side of the House; but as he did not perceive either the
Eight Honourable Gentleman (Mt. Canning), or the Honourable
Member for Winchelsea, by whom he was so ably supported in
the House, he would not enter into this topic. Part of the debate
that occurred last night, was the most extraordinary he had ever
heard. He thought the House was not in a state to place confidence
in the Government as it was at present constituted; and that the
Hootse could not grant dose supplies, or act la the manner it would
'act towards a Government in another irate: Rumour asserted that
