IRISU GRAND JURY PRESINTAIRNTS.

The Order of the Day being read for the third
reading of the Irish Grand Jut y Presentment Bill,
Sir GEORGE HILL moved, as an amendment,
that the Bitl be read the 3d time this day three months.
General HART conceived the Bill altogether un-
necessary.
Sir FREDERICK FLOOD expressed his decided
hostility to this measure, which went to establish 36
new places in Ireland, to the amount of 010,000
a.year, and to condemn the system under which the
business of the country had been so long conducted
with advantage. He did riot think it right to take
the power lodged in the Grand Juries from the prin-
cipal Gentlemen of the country, and to place it in
the hands of 'several hireling• surveyors, who might
come from different places, and be altogether igno.
rant of the_ local affairs of the counties over which
they were brought to preside.
Mr. BUTLER opposed the Bill, which went Iola;
a very unnecessary expense on the counties. -
Mt. VESEY FITZGERALD defended the Bill,
which appeared to him a very economical arrange.
ment, as the Lord Lieutenant was enabled.to appoint
one surveyor for two counties, cons quently the'ex.
pense would not press heavily on either.
The gallery was then cleared for a division, when
there appeared or the third reading 46—Against''
it B—Majority 38.
The Bill was then read the third rime.
On the question that the Bill do pass,
Sir FRLDERICK FLOOD proposed that a
clans/rise adder to the Bill, by way of rides, limiting
the appointment of a Surveyor to such cases as, in
the opinion of Grand Juries, rendered an txamina-
don necessary:
Sir GEORGE HILL complained, that the Sur-
veyor appeared to be the only immaculate person re-
cognised by dig Bill. There was no reset !ration of
secutity•or penalty provided by the Bill, in his case,
to insure a faithful and honest discharge of his ditty. ,
Atter a few words *dui Mr. W INDHAM QUIN,
the proposArclause was negatived.
Sir GEORGE: HILL Objected to the extraordi-
nary discretion• vested by the Bill in Grand ►urors.
They were empowered to iiary the torte of Affidavits
in particular cases of 'Presentments--a power which
the Legislature ought alone to exeri.ise. Tile Bill
was altogether drawn up in a crude undigested man-
lier, add he iras persuaded its provisions could out
be carded into practical operation. • •

'11:e CrANreLloa of the Emittfourn, if we rightly
understood Hat List night, intimated that he had not
wade up oil the question of the unrestrained
exportation of c: tton yarn. That is, he thinks the
question should be examined. The weavers may row
promise themselves at least a fair heating. It is a
question Of great imp:4l4ll*w ; we have examined its
bearings with great attention, and we are decidedly
of opinion that a prohibition of, or :t high duty on
the exportatinh of cotton yarns, would not only in-
stantly revive our manpfactures; but ultimately bene-
fit the spinners. It is evident that while we supply
t'e Continent with yarns, that is with what to them
a raw =ski-12, the sale of our piece vood: must daily

In answer, it is that matters would only be
niade worse by the prohibition ; for the French, Ind
iit;ier would-be rivals, will, in that case, spin their
own Yarn from the raw Cotton. But the reply to
will be furnivhNi by every person who has visited
the Continent, And more particularly bf those who
are engaged in manufactories; by travellers, in short,
f.l all descriprions, we have been uniformly given to
understand, that in the article of machinery, our
neighbriurs.on the Continent are fifty years behind
n•. N..w, the superiority we decidedly enjoy in this
ripest, and more paticirlarly in the manufacture of
varns for weav:ng, would enal4e us, wording to
::en accounts, to undersell them for, at least, fifty
;ears to come. They ate deac,ri'aed as having abun-
dance of lOcims for weaving, of a d.cent construc-
tion ; hut in the couiplicated and expensive means
of producing yarn from the raw material, they are
ahclly derci nt. They have not, in fact, the capital
requisite for the numerous establishments which
ivuuld be requited for the supply of their looms.-
-Such area few of the arguments used in support
of prohibitory Laws. It has been said by its oPPo"
neut 4, that the French_ People would immediately
give up using British muslin: and calicueS. We could
suppose this of almost any other nation ; but the
eagerness with which they buy a piece of British
muslin in preference to one of their own manufacture,
and tite acuteness with which a French female traces
its pedigree from Glasgow or Manchester by the
laud, alone, appreciating it accordingly,convinc' es us
Lai a consummation which the Anti-English
f..ciioli will never witness. 'ln this branch of trade

to use it.

la one word, by supplying the Ccntinent with Cot-
ra Yarns, you are giving them the profits which
otherwise would come to your own weavers.
,Proilts
this year become Capital the next—that is, you are
rov supplying your rivals with the means of creating
a Capital, to enable them eventually to endeavour to
t;v.il you in your Seinning•Machinery ! If they could
row spin a sufficient quantity of Yarn, they would
buy fore of yours soon as they shall be able to

they now do your Piece-Gooch. Withhold your Yarns,

The Report on the Poor Laws was also brought

nought not, The subject is very intricate, and will
require r.ruch deliberation. We fear that some of
cur p3litical economists mistake even the first princi-
ples et science. Without establishing soch a puce

As a'specimen of the delusions practised upon the
poiiiie on the Continent, to excite antipathy against
Britain and British Manufactures, we have inserted
in our columns this day an article from a Get wAn
Paper, announcing a Loom*, in which the prises are
to be manufactared goods—which may be afterwards

on the face of the statement—" a total prohib►tion of

The Spanish Minister of War, the :Marquis of
enatrosatottano, has been superseded in his ollice by
'Lieutenant•General Emma. The latter, it miy be
recollected, was in the charge of this department at
the time of FERDIAND'iI return to Madrid, in I I 1.,
and acted a very conspicuous part in the arrest of the
leading Members of the Cortes. Not long alter, he
retired from the Ministry, and was named C iptain.
General of Old Castile, in which capacity he had the
singular fortune of having the celebrated BALLas-
reitos, one of his successors in the same Ministry,
placed under his surveillance. It is thought that M.

this change.

serious accident happened in St. James's Park,
near the Horse Guards on Thursday, between two
and three o'clock. A groom, who was holding his
master's horse as well as his own, was prevailed on
by a young lad to let him strsunt the unoccupied
saddle s he, however, had scarcely mounted before
the horse took fright. The boy was unable to manage
the creature, which galloped.off at full speed, and tn,
a few seconds he fell over the horse's head. The
hone in galloping away appeared to kick him. The
poor youth lay.suotionless, and giving no other symp-
toms of life except by occasionally rolling his eyes,
from exquisite pain. Mr. GOVLBURN, the Under
Secretary of State in Lord Baratuttsr's department,
saw the accident from one of the windows of the
Horse Guards, and hastened
fto the spot. With
prompt humanity, he immediately gave orders for
procuring a shutter. which was instantly brought, and
Mr. Goutnuati, with great anxiety and feeling, ac-
companied the boy to Westminster Hospital, and
waited till the burgeons prootmoted the case nut to
