IRISH COURTS OF JUSTICR.

'The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to call the at.
tention of the House to the motion founded upon the Report of
the Committee of Inquiry respecting Irish Courts of Justice.—
He thought it would be better that a Select Committee
be appointed to consider the Report and examine all the cir-
cumstances, which necessarily went into considerable detail--
The Noble Marquis moved accordingly.
Mr. S. RICE said, he had ne wish to offer the sli'ehtmt oppo-
sition to the motion. In the outset he had stated that, as to
ulterior proceedings, he was in the hands of the House. This,
however, was an inquiry of a similar character, and he thought
the motion should be couched in guarded terms, lest it might be
drawn into a mischievous precedent.
Mr. O'GRADY said, that as the obje:t of the motion was to
promote investigation, be should cheerfully assent to it.
The motion was then agreed to.
POOR LAWS.
Mr. SCA RLETT moved, that the Order of the Day for the
third reading of the Poor Laws Regulation B;11 should be post-
poned until Thursday next. It was not his intention to press
the Lill this Session; and on Thursday he would state his rea-
sons for withdrawing it. The motion was agreed tu.
The Revenue Relief Bill was postponed until this day, after
a few words from Mr. Hums:, the CHANCLI.L.OR of the Vacua-
Glitsa, and CREEVET.
The House adjourned at Two &Clock this morning.

A proposition was last night submitted to the
House of Commons by Mr. MAXWELL, for an Ad-
dress to the Throne, praying that a Commission
might he appointed to examine into the System of
Society which Mr. Own; has created at New La-
nark, and which he is desirous of seeing universally
established thoughout the country. Among the Mem-
bers who opposed the motion, and who, of course, dis-
approve of Mr. OWEN% System, we find some of the
most active and enlightened philanthropists of the day
—Mr. WILBERFORCE, MT. MIXT° N, Mr.GURNEY, &C.
It is impossible to view an opposition which com-
bines such names as otherwise than founded on many
sound considerations; and yet when we find the state
of society existing at New Lanark allowed on all
hands to be a sort of earthly Paradise, we are sorry
to see any attempt frustrated which had for its object
to ascertain the practicability of extending the bless-
ings of this Paradise over a country so sunk in misery
as ours, unhappily, now is. Mr. OWEN'S System may
be fallacious as a national one ; but it would not
have been the less so for a thorough and dispassionate

inquiry into its merits. Mr.MAxwELL did not choose
to divide the house on the subject, and the motion
was negatived.
Mr. WILBERFORCE afterwards moved an Addrbss
to his *STY on the subject of the Slave Trade.
It was agreed to unanimously. The speech of the
Hon. Member, as also that of Sir JAMES MACKIN-
TOSH, will be read with much interest.

The friends .of " the Constitutional Association
will, no doubt, be delighted to learn that one trades-
man has, by the number of true bills which have
been found against him, through the active and dis-
interested agency of Messrs. Orton and Co. been
ruined before bcing brought to trial ! The p.or devil

lies in prison for want of bail !--llis shop is shut
up, and advertised for sale!—He is ruined, ruined,
ruined!! These are our constitutional" doings—
these our works of justice, humanity, loyalty, and
Old English feeling!!
Talk indeed of the inutility of our Association!
What Officer of Government, incommoded by respon-
sibility, and troubled with a character to preserve,
would have dared to attempt such an admirable pro-
cess of summary vengeance as this? A process by
which there is no fear—no chance of acquittal:—
no honest Juries to persuade—no upright Judges to
perplex ; nothing of all the old and idle formalities
of legal proceeding 1 We fix on our victim, and
without Judge or Jury we crush, exterminate him at
at once. How Loyal, how Christian, how truly
Constitutional an Association ! Why should any one
blush to be a Member of so praiseworthy a body?—
Who is there that dare say the mark of "Oppressor"
is on thy f orehead ?

Wehave received to-day authentic intelligence
from Constantinople to the 26th of May, and some
additional particulars respecting the events at Smyrna,
alluded to in the letters from that place, from which
we yesterday gave extracts.
In the Turkish capital tranquillity was completely
restored, and, with the exception of the. Greeks, Eu-
ropeans, particularly the English, had no recent
cause of complaint. The latter are held in the highest
regard, not by the Government alone, but by the
populace, who consider the English as friendly to
their interests. A striking instance of this occurred

on the 22d ult. when the Ambassador had an au-
dience of the GRAND SEIGNIOR. His Excellency went

in great state; and, notwithstanding the temper of
the public mind, not the slightest mark of disrespect
was shewn by the populace. The Ambassador's Lady,
dressed in Male attire, was present at the ceremony.
On the 19th, Lord STRANGFORD had an audience
of the Vizier, and the best understanding prevailed
between the two Governments. In every other part
of the Turkish Empire we understand that similar
marks of regard and confidence were shewn to Bri-
tish subjects.
At the date of our information a great deal of bu-
siness was done, particularly by-the retail dealers.
On the 15th ult. an embargo was laid at Constanti-
nople on all corn vessels. This measure appears to
have been dictated by policy more than necessity.
It was done to incommode the Insurgents, and im-
pede their operations, as they were in want of torn.
Thirty cargoes were already seized ; but the Govern-
ment, instead of giving the market price, which was
ten piastres the kilo or bushel, would only allow six
or at most eight.—The piastre is about 7id. Several
meetings of the Meichants took place in conse-
lquence ; and it was resolved to address the Ministers
of the European Powers to induce them to remon-
