GENERAL OPERATIONS.

The existing grants of the Society are to aid 235 In-
cumbents, in charge of an aggregate population of
1,801,452, or to each oa an average of 7,660 souls; while
the average rate of their incomes is only £163, and 123
have no parsonage house.
These grants provide stipends for 223 clergymen and 31
lay-assistants, at an annual charge upon the Society's
funds, when all the appointments shall be made by the
incumbents, of £20,350. And as the incumbents aided
provide either from their own or local resources the fur-
ther sum of £3,138 per annum, to make up the amounts
required for the several stipends, the Society is thus made
the honoured instrument of bringing into the service of
our national Church, when all the grants are occupied,
the annual sum of £23,488.
At the present time 200 clergymen and 31 lay-assistants
are supported in their labours by the Society, at the charge
of £17,735 a-year. The grants provide for the addition
of 338 full services on the Lord's-day, 124 on week-days,
284 cottage-lectures, and increased pastoral visitation in
all the districts aided.

ELIEVAN C

,-ADJOURNED DEBATE

CapitlitthinTlcAL lamented, as one great cause of the
evils of Ireland, the absence of landlords and the ejection
of tenants. Those subjects, he said, had been character.
ised by Sir R. Peel as belonging to the head of morals
rather than of legislations but law was only morality
shaped by parli,ment. The brightest days of England
bad been the darkest of Ireland; conciliation had come,
in her case as in that Of America, from fear, not favour:
the events of 1777 in America had had their parallel in the
election for Clare,. Sir R. Peel had said he would govern
Ireland impartially ; but through whom was he to govern
Tier ? Throush civil officers already committed as the vio-

lent antagonists of the Roman Catholics, and through
bishops declared as opponents of national education. We
had a strong government, no doubt, but it sate with folded
arms, impotent for good, and irresolute for evil. He
would•recommend the abolition of the office of Lord Lieu-
tenant, an office useless to all but those numerous young
soldiers (the aides-de-camp) who wished to avoid the dull
routine of regimental duty. He would provide for the
Roraan Catholic clergy ; the state could never conciliate
the people while it slighted their pastors.
.

HOWARD DOUGLAS reprobated the interference of
America in fomenting Irish movements. He defended
the union, and showed, in detail, the commercial and other
advantages which Ireland had derived from it. He lifted
his voice against all kinds of political agitation ; and con-

chided by moving, rather unexpectedly.
would entertain no Irish question until the agitation now
in progress should have been discontinued.
. No seconder was found for this motion, which was re-
ceived by the opposition with sarcastic cheers.
Mr. VILLIERS STUART was of opinion that such an
amendment, if entertained, would have done very little
to put down agitation. He attributed the over popula-
tion and general wretchedness of Ireland less to the mis-
conduct of landlords than to the want of any employment
for the people except upon tLe land, and the consequent
subdivision of occupations. The great grievance which
was at the bottom of all was that badge of conquest, the
Protestant establishment. The protestant Church re-
venue, as the present incumbents should die off, ought to
be divided among the Roman Catholic clergy, if they
would accept it, which, however, he doubted.
The ATTORNLY.GENERAL for Ireland cited as au-
thorities against the repeal, the opinions of several of the
late Minist- --Pssed in the debate which took place

that the house

ers, ex

a few years since upon that subject, that repeal was sepa-
In vindicating the judicial appointments of the
dverted to those made by their

predecessors. Sir M. O'Logblin had been appointed by
the latter to the bench, in preference to Mr. Pennefather
and Mr. Blackburne, both by many years his seniors,
and both, to say the least, his equals in talent and busi-
ness. A similar preference bad been given to Mr.
Woulfe, who had not a fourth, perhaps not a sixth, of the
business of Mr. !'ennefather, Mr. Blackburne, or Mr.
Lefroy. So in the case of Judge Ball, so in the case of
Judge Richards
