Mr. Secretary PEEL said. that his information as
to the amount of the sem differed from that of his Noble Friend's.
The Bill prevented the members of the Association from meeting
In their capacity of members, but be had certainly no hesitation in
saying that the money already collected was not confiscated by any
previslos in the Bill.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that some words had
fallen from an Honourable Gentleman to whkb he would draw the
attention of the House. He would tate it for granted that no one
was prepared to say that Ireland should be permitted to remain as
was, and that all agreed that something should be done for it,
although they might differ as to the means. The Honourable.
Member said that, be spoke from an intimate knowledge of the
Protestant inhabitants of that country, who, be added, were best
acquainted with the mode and measure by whieb Ireland might
be tranquillized- lie (Mr. D. W. Harvey) hoped that the Hon.
Member would be prepared, when the present measure came to
be more fully brought before the House, to propose another to
*feet that object which all accounted so desirable to attain.
Sir GEORGE WARRENDER took that oppoito-
why of expressing a hope that, while be looked with satisfaction to
the measures of his Majesty's Government fbr giving political
rights to one body of men, he should not see them taken from
'mother. He treated that the question for the relief of the Ca-
tholics would not he accompanied by the deprivation of the rights
of the Forty Shilling Freeholders, through the exercise of which
they had in some degree, contributed to the unit:intent of the
general übjeet.

passed.
Mr. POTTER MACQUEEN moved for leave to
bring in a Bill flit the Amendment of the Law relative to the sub-
ject of Parochial Settlements.—Leave granted.

•
Mr: STUART WORTLEY gave notice of his in-
:,itention-to introduce a measure for the amendment of the Game
Laws: The Hon. Member intimated that his measures wank' be
of the same character as those which be had submitted to the
lion+, in the course of the last Seioion. The opinions which he
'bad then entertained of the necessity of some amendment is these
laws bad been strengthened since that time.
Mr. LESTER 'aid, that all the attempts which had
,been made to improve the law upon this subject bad failed, on the
ground of having attempted too much, and of having gone upon
wrong grounds: He (Mr. Lester) thought it perfectly fruitless to
-attack the game laws whilst they passed user (befogs. et arise natl.
the game preserves. The proper method of proceeding would be
to prevent the pheasants from breeding—(Laughter)—and for this
purpose to prevent the growth of these articles which were neces.
say for that purpose—(Great laughter).
Mr. Secretary PEEL said that he apprehended that •
the House would feel some dilaculty in effectuating the intimation
which the Hoa. Member had thrown out of the expediency of pre-
venting the pheasants from breeding—(Laughter). These birds
lived upon barley and wheat, and be bellevad that it would not be
easy to frame a law which should preyent the growth of these
articles.

Mr. LESTER said 'hat he only meant to prevent the
growth of wheat and bark/ for the purpose of increasing the breed•
tag of game.
Mr. RIDLEY COLBORNE said, that the present
state of the Game Laws was such that it must be changed in some
manner.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that he shnold re.

commend a consolidation of all the laws relating to game. although
he feared that even this measure would not diminish the crime of
poaching in any considerable degree.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
INSOLVENT DESIONS. COURT IN IRILANDA
Lord F. L. GOWER moved for Wye to bring in a Bill to amend

the laws relating to the Court of Insolvent Debtors in Ireland.
Mr. HUME inquired if the Noble Lord had, since
his appointment to office in that country. made himself acquainted
with the circumstances connected with that Court ? He (Mr.
Hume) believed that it cost more than it was worth. From some
returns then in his hand it appeared that, out of the sum of fourteen
millions, for which insolvents had been discharged by the Court in
Ireland ,only one farthing in the pound bad been paid to the cream s
The expenses of the Corn and persons connected with it much ex
ceedeJ, he was informed,tbe amount which had been produced to tl •
public. He Would submit to the Noble Lord, and to the Secretary
for the Home Department, whether, as the Insolvent' Court bad
grown out of the barbarous practice of imprisoning for debt, it
would not be better to go at once to the root of the evil ? The
Ilon. Member then read a statement, from which it appeared that
twenty•four persons bad been imprisoned for 4201. for an surepro
period of 144 years. 0.. woman had been imprisoned for thirty
one yea:s for the sum of eat.

into the partiealsrs until the ilia should be printed, and in the
bands of the Members of the House.

The Dangerous Ass—o-ciiiMrSupptess;on Bill was
passed is the House of Commons last night, read a first
time in the Honse of Lords, and ordered tl be read a
second time on Thursday. We have catty reason to
hope that it will not be many days before this Bill will
receive the Royal consent.

In both House: some interesting conversation took
place on the grand question of the intended measures
respecting the Catholics. The Duke of WsLusciros
and Mr. Pm respectively declared, that the contem-
plated proceedings had not in any degree been pro-
