bad for its obje—ct the suppression of the present
lion, was discussed on the t7th ultimo, and it seemed
to be the general impression of the Chamber that the
best means of accomplishing this end would be a sys-
tem of leaky towards that great pan of the population
which has been 'aided. The debate was brought on by
Count da Taipa, who has served under Count Villa nor'
against the rebels, and was engaged in the battle of
Crouches da Beira. He observed, that the chiefs of
the rebels deserve to be severely punished, bat that all
the rest ought to be pardoned; for in the three pro.
times in which the rebellion prevails, the people had
been deceived and seduced, and only remain us arms be.
cause they are afraid of being exposed, by way of re-
action, to an inquisitorial severity similar to that which
the country experienced in 1822. The proceeding in-
stituted by provincial magistrates against individuals
for taking part in the rebellion, has, accoeding to the
statement of the Count, already had a very minhieveos
affect. It has made multitudes
.fiy to Spain, whence
door retire and keep up the insurrection ; but the

doped fee thaw first error, would long ago have re.
turned peaceably to their hoaxes. Wishing to see the

by the consolidation of the constitutional
shorter, be moved that a message should be sent by
the Chamber to the Princess Regent, praying that she
would grant an act of benignity or amnesty. use motion
was immediately taken into consideration. It was
doubted by lOW of the Peers whether the Chamber
ought to interfere in this matter, as they thought that
any step towards granting an amnesty ought to come
from the Retentive. It was also observed. that the
provincial Magistrates ought not so be blamed for doing
their duty, that they were bound to prosecute for
opiates, and that to pardon was a prrrojative of
the Crown, which might be exercised after cowrie*
dm. In the course of the debate, the Coast is
ILisbares regretted that the arrests which had hoot
made, led to no result, because k took one hundred or,
perhaps 200 days to bring accused individuals to
justice. Ile bad heard of a conspiracy; but as yet se
parses bad been tried for it. The Count da Taipa, Is
suppett of a charge against the Government, of being
too lenient on the one hand, and too severe on the other,
stated that the Viscount of Monte-Alegre still sec.eived
the revenues of a commander, which he holds, and that
there were imprisoned at Vixen $2 persons accused by
their enemies, sad not yet informed of the nature of
their offence.

The Bishop of Vises), who is Minister for the Home
Department, said—di It is not for me now to say
whether or not the Government intends to grant an
amnesic' ? I neither affirm nor deny such intention.
The greater part of the facts referred to by the Count
de Taipa are not unknown to the Government, which
will not neglect to take such measures as may be ne-
ces•ary respecting them; but whether or not an am-
ue.ty is to be gi.ren, depends upon what resolution the
wbok of the Ministry may adopt. It would not be
proper for one of the Members of the Government to
anticipate what its determination on this subject may
be." After some further discussion, a Committee of
seven was appointed to consider of the motion of Count
de Taipei and to report whether or act. the proposed
message ought to be sent to the Prioce.s Regent.

The CMAIRMAIN, in ptopoeing the nett toast. ob-
served. that he had never seen the aaniversary festival
of this Society so thinly attended as it was upon the
prevent occasion. He did not know to what cause to
attribute this circumstance. He was surrounded by
Noble Friends who endeavoured to promote the interests
of the charity by their presence, and it would be seen
by and by, when the treaterer's report was read, that
they were most liberal in aiding it with their purses alit).
'But he was sorry to say that there certainly Was a large
portions( individuals who poetised property in Ireland
who shamefully neglected this charity. He wished
it could be impressed at the minds of those opulent
Irishmen, that this charity was a most useful one.
What would become of the helpless orphans of those
poor Irishmen who died in this country. were it
not that they were saved from misery and vice by
this most truly benevolent institution? Many who,
but for the assistance of this charity. would have pe-
rished through want, or been sunk in the lowest, state
of wretchedness, were now living in a state of deceacy
and comfort, and with hearts overflowing with 'creaks&
to the Mends of this Society. Ought not this to be
enough to interest every Irishman in its prosperity ?
However, he looked forward to the day when an ame-
lioration would take place in their affairs, and he trusted
that in the meantime they would exert themselves to
hasten its arrival. After a few more obtervations on
the state of the Society, and its funds, the Noble Chair-
man concluded by proposing " Prosperity so the Bens-
'Went Society of St. Patrick."—(Cheering.)
The children w ere then introduced. and walked
round the room, the band playing " St. Patrick's Day."
They evinced very considerable improvement in their
!appearance, both boys and girls being most comfort-
'ably and neatly clad, and apparently cheerful and
happy. A large portion of them remained below stairs,
the room not being sufficiently capacious to hold them
all in addition to the company. 1
• His Lordship give' as the next toast, the health of
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—(Applause).
The Duke of LIIIIIIITUI proposed the health of ae
'Noble President, who had contributed so much of his
time, his talents, and his money to the objtcu of the
charity—(Drank with great applause). ,
The Earl of DAIIIILET, in returning thanks, said, that
thirty-eight years ago he had been invited by his Irene.
rabic friend, Lord Clanwillians. to succeed him in this
Chair in the following year; and he would now beg
leave to fellow that example, by inviting his (Lord
'Clanwilliatn's) noble son to preside here nest year,—an
arrangement which, he was convinced, would be at-
tended with great benefit to the Society—((Caen).
His Lordship next proposed the bealths of the Duke
of Lenster, the Marquis of Downshire, and the other
resident proprietors of Ireland—(Great applause).
The Duke and Marquis severally returned thanks, and
professed their anxiety at all times, and to the utmost of
their power, to further the interests of this excellent cha.
rity, as well as to promote every measure which had
for its object the welfare and happi. ess of Ireland.—
(Applause). The Noble Chairman then said, that see•
fog around him so many military men from Ireland,
who were such ornaments of the British army, he felt
called upon to propose their health:. After observing
upon the eminent station which was occupied both in
the army, the navy, and the senate, by natives of Ile•

The announcement of each name was received, IDS
tittuti. with considerable applause; but when that of
Mr. Canning was mentioned, it was received with a
burst of enthusiasm, which continued unabated for se-
viral minutes, and almost erceeded in warmth any thing
we have ever heard, even at a contested popular election.
The Noble CHAIRMAN proposed the health of
Launcelot Shadwell, Esq.
The Learned Gentleman, in returning thanks en-
forced the claims of the orphans of that country, which
had furnished men in every rank of life, who, either by
their Wepts or physical labours, by their efforts of asihd
or of body, had contributed largely to the aggrandize-
ment of the State.—(Applause).
His Loastrati nest gave those Members of it. House of Com-
mons who had henouted the aseetlag *kit their regents.

Mr. Bnowas.ew' in acknowledging his sense of the
compliment which had been paid him and the other
members of the House of Commons present on this
occasion, said, that he participated largely in that feeling,
for which every class of Irishmen were conspicuous,
namely—devoted affection for his native land. He
certainly did profess a deep attachment to his country

commended her to his affections; and it was his de-
termination, through all her vicissitudes, without step-
ping to calculate what they might be, without casting
his eyes to the right hand or to the left, ever to foot up
to her as a parent whom it wai his duty to support, and
whose happiness should be the object of the dearest
wishes of his beast—(Applause). •
Sir H. Passau. hoped the time was not far distant
when every thing would be done to worse a sound
syssim of Government in Ireland—(Cheers).
Mr. SHADWILL wished it to be inculcated on the
lusinds of the English public, that this was not exclusively
an Irish charity, but one which was eminently cal/ utetud
to serve the interests of the empire at huge.

A few other toasts terminated the proceedings of
the evening, which were much enlivened and im-
proved by some very excellent singing. Mr. Weed-
horst sung, " The Meeting of the Waters," in a
manner which left nothing to be desired on the
score of taste or feeling. The glees "My cheer V MI.

liant style, and were greatly aided in their (Eta by the
