PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.

Ir THE LORDS.--The Irish &:.:4,f all SYIO3-the
Bill was read a second lime. The Session is so far
advanced, otherwise we might hope to %ee some Bill
to preclude the necessity of the ettrenie wtrlion mea-

diction ; and, let any one tell es, if bolas, when, and
from what cause, the famine is to stop. We want an
easier as to this point. It is money that is wanted.
and not barrels of potatoes. The paw, starving la-
bourers in Ireland want money to purchase the food
which they themselves have raised; and want not to
be insulted by that imputleat, bragging " cheriity".
whose "fecliag heart," ships them off half a ton of
rys-uteal, coedig three pounds, and stuns, or would
stag, the nation with the intelligence of the Loon, put
down at fift!psiz pounds ! The Irish do nut want
this imposture sort of work. They want a due share
of their earnings. They want the English poor-taws.
They want what God commands, when he says, " M".
" zle not the ox as he treaded' oat the corn." The
case is plainly this: the rents, tithes, and taxes take
so much of the money away, that the libourers are
left to starve. Appoint overseers, who. is case of
need, will go. armed by the law, to taitofswaothe rents
and tithes enough to prevent starvation. This is the
only remedy. There is nu other. This is ele way to
" civilize" Ireland and to " convert" the Irish. But,
there appears now to be no other way of putting* stop
to real, raging, destroying famine. However, this
subject demands a full discussion; fur, certainly, none
is equal to it in importaace.

lx Tux CO3.lloNll.—Suliie Journeymen Piinters pe-
titioned, stating, that they bad been called before a
Committee to give evidence as to the expence of print-
ing the Journals ofthe douse; that they had spoken
the truth ; and that they bad been di:raged Gy their
emph..yei s, to the great injury of themselves and fa-
milies. We should very much like to hare this pe-
tition, In order that we might insert it, together with
the names of those employers, and any other particu-
lars that these printers bare to state; for, if it be
really the fact, that they owe their dismission to their
having spoken the truth, they de public protec-
tion, and the protection, direct, of Parliament ; other-
Size, who, in such a situatian, will ever give tree
'etvidence again ?
CONSUL GENERAL •T Rto JANEIRO.—This Con-
NIP, office has been the subject of a good deal of just
complaint on the part of Mr. Hume. This subject is
to come on again; and therefore we shall not notice
it further at present; but cannot hel) observing, that
our Consuls in America, and particularly that at New
York, demanded fees enormous, and eta believe, fees
that never were demanded unlit of late years.
The burden on Euglish commerce is enormous.
The most trilling thing cannot be shipped from
New York without a fee to this Consul. The old
tar lot's brother, STEWART of the Courier, baring put'
lisped in his paper, in June, ISIS, that Mr. Counevr
had been prosecuted in that country for a libel on the
Government, a lie which was immediately adopted by
the Old Times and by the other London Newspapers,
he got a document from the ATroaxer-Geteenat. in
order to send home to disprove the fact. Ile took it
to this Consul to verify. He verified and signed it.
Hating done that, he held out Lis paw for two dol-
lars, which Mr. CORBETT refused, and the Pious
Preacher at a Dissenting Meeting-house io New York
(for preacher he is) kept the document, though he was
told to tear off his name and give it up. " No," said
he, " I have done the work, and I will be paid for it.'
This is the way in which the honour of England is
upheld in foreign countries and ports.
STEAM BOATIL—Lord BINNING presented a petition
from coach proprietors, praying that a tax might be
laid on steatu-boats Mr. Alderman WOOD will cer-
tainly support this petition, for here isclrarly a viola-
tion of the " supposed conditions," upon which the
coach proprietors undertook their business; and they
certainly have a "vested interest" in the limbs and
brains of the people that hare occasion to move from
place to place, as much as the brewers hare in the en-
trails and lungs of those who swallow q.,arsict and
coeubts iadicus. The coaches have been built upon
these supposed conditions ; and the coach-proprietors
have a great deal better reason to complain than the
owners of public-houses have, seeing that their
coaches can be turned to no other purpose, and that
the houses may. This doctrine of supposed conditions
will go a great deal further if it he not stifled. We
'ball bare the waggoners petitioning against the
canal-people; and we shall certainly have the makers
of woollen-cloth and hats (if these fine summers
should continue) petitioning against the makers of
cotton and linens, it not against the Sun himself
for, woo the devil ever supposed ; who ever could
leave understood, that there was ever to be eon-shine
in England from the tirst week in Ally to the last week
in July. IlerePlr. Alderman, the Sun Las violated
the strict compact between him and the English cloth-
workers ; and though Parliament, omnipotent as it is
may not, perhaps, be able to make him bide his face,
it can, at any rate, compel the English people to stew
their carcasses to a jelly in cloth coats, waistcoats and
breeches, or go naked ; and w e have no scruple to say,
that its power, exerted in this way, would be much
less offensive to reason as well as to justice, than if
exerted to compel the people to thirst or to swallow
the poison concocted by the public brewers and their
druggists.
TURKISH FRIGATE.—AII explanation was given
last night, and a very lame one, about this same fri
gate, which, it seems, has been fitted out at Dept-
ord for the use of our Holy Ally, the Turk. It is a

impiously hypocritical must be the wretch that ram oc-
cupy a moment of his time (if he be possessed •f power
in any degree) upon the distresses, miseries and suf-
ferings of foreign nations.
HIUUGATIC CHAPEL RlLL.—There MN a petition

'remitted against this Bill, which seems to be pretty
Much of a job. It was referred to a Committee, so
that we shall have the subject on inciter time.
Intim Ceatutestoregas.—There area parcel of Com-
missioners (paid oat of the taxes) appointed to en-
quire into the fees sod &hoes of Courts of Justice in
Ireland. This is one of thin* things that naturally
grow unt of the system. It is an evil engendered
by an evil ; the thing altogether is radically wrong,
and every attempt to wend it only to adds to its mix-
Alec Mr. Hume complained that a yarn; gentle-
pan of the Dame of PLUNKETT (lie! a PatiMearx!) had
been appointed one of the Commissioners. Walt ail
du submission, we beg leave to ob that we think
Mr. HUME'S complaint nut only groundless; but we
Oust say, preposterous. For is it not dear-
nble that there should be no change in these
Commissioners; and is it not pretty certain that
this Commission will last ninch longer than this Mr.
PLUNKETT, though he may be now in his teens, will,
in all human probability, continue to lire: provided
always, that the system, the glorious system of Boroughs
and extreme Unction shall so long last. When we
sees Commission for settling the debts of the Nabub of
Arcot, lasting for thirty year*, and at this day giving
the Commissioners, at the bead of whom Is Mr. Hue-
-1101:5 E'S venerable father, such thumping salaries, and
such a nice house with clerks, door keepers, necessary
women and stationery; when we see this; and when
we compare the magnitude of the Courts of Justice is
Ireland with this Nabob affair; and when we farther
behold Sir Fnatects BURDETT selecting the son of this
Nabob-commissioner as the properest person in the
world to be his reforming eolkagee ; and when at
last we see this reforming colleague put into Par-
liauseot by " Purity of Election ;" when we see all this,
how is Mr. Ileum mistaken when be supposes Mr.
PLUNKETT can possibly be too young to enter upon
his conansissiuning career. Why, if it were not for
these commissions, what would become of all those
genteel, pale-faced, white-handed, Llark-gowned and
tail-wigged geutclemen who hare nu briefs? What
would become of them all, and of their parson and
borough-parents? Wott!d Mr. flume have them
sweep the streets, or would he send them to work at'
the hand corn-mills at once? Ts time, indeed, and
with the failure of the system, this is what they
must come to; fur they arc too old to be taught
to be carpenters, bricklayers, or even labourers,
to be left to themselves. They must be employed
in a way to have a master, or driver, con-
stantly at their backs and heels. This meat eouse:
but we seriously remonstrate with Mr. Beare against
anticipating the order of events. Let things go uo.
and every one will be in his place: to the
and to the street-broom this race of beings will cer-
tainly come; but we pray Mr. Hums to let them came
in the time and manner which the system has pointed
out. Let Nees Bill go into effect in May next, even
with the little chipping that it Las received, and we
shall see every one in his proper place in a very few
years.
ALIEN BILL—We have so often had this Bill be-
fore us that we twill not ,fatigue our readers with any
observation upon it. It was read a third time by the
vote of a very large majority, notwithstanding a
speech a piece from Mr. DCNSIAN and Mr. SCARIATT.
We think a great deal more about the sentence lately
passed by Mr. Di NMAN upon one of Mr. Cotatdat's
shopmen, and on which sentence the employer has no
ably and so justly observed ; we think a great deall
more about this sentence passed by thie new Judge
"do:el bit Me Patriotd" of the city of Absolute Wis-
dom ; we think a great deal more about this sentence
and this simpuman titan co think about all the fo-
reigned.' in existence, and especially about the gossip-
ing and gabbling At:pelt, the case of one of whom was
brought farmyard by Sir K. WiLson. We detest
heartily enoneit every thing in the nay of restric-
tion upin the movements of foreigners, and feel
ashamed that an American cannot move about
England without a purport ; but, really, we
cannot endure to treat this as a matter of import-
ance, while we see, under our noses such things as the
prosecution and the seutence just mentioned. Li-
berty, indeed ! it is pretty to hear men talk about li-
berty, when they eau sit out a whole Session and say nut
a cord about such math rs. When they can see men,
and, what is a great deal more, women, treated its
such a manner, for merely expressing and upholding
their abstract opinions; wheu they can behold this;
when they can see the treatment of Mr. CANLILE, his
wife, his sister; when they ca•• see the wife, shut up
in a dungeon pith a baby at her breast ; when they
can see her delivered iu that dungeon; ashen they
can read, as they do, In the plain narrative of Mr.
Cant.mr, of the horrible things committed upon hits'
and his family ; and when they can behold the match-
less resolution of the suffering parties ; when they
can see and hear all this, and take not the smallest no-
tice of it, to the winds we toss all their palaver about
Abbele lionavista and the res. of the gossipping tribe.
The Bill having been read a third time, Mr. lion
NOUS! rooted, what tie dare say he deemed a piece of
cutting- sarcasm, namely. an Amendment to the title of
the Bill to repeal " su much of the Great Charter of
Engbind as related to the ingress and egress of fu
reigners." This might have done, under other air
eumstance, hut had a very lame effect after the pre-
amble moved in the house of Lords by L .rd Kiec.—
It Cause like the dialogue in the Ofd Times. People
do out like onions or fi.lt tne second day. Very• good
while fresh ; but very bad when stale.
We are compelled to put off our farther ob
lons on Mr. BROUGII.I,3I'S Beer-Bill until Monday.

By aecouuts from Madras, dated the 7th of Mar&
we learn that the whole of the British possessions iu
