From tie London Courier Of .4hrA s.
The deb tes in both houses last night,
were important. In the house of lords The
Marquis OF Buckingham brought forward
his motion relative 10 the state of Ireland.
Moderation, anxiety for the welfare Of Ire
land, and a desire to adopt any measures
| calculated really to do good to that part of
the empire, were the prominent features
of the debate. The Catholic Question was
in most OF the speeches, considered, as it
always ought to have been. minor griev-
ance, the removal of which would do no.
| thing towards the ameIoration of the CON
dition OF the Irish people. After all. the
| Improvement of the situation of the Irish
! depends, as we have invariably maintain
! ed, SIS upon any government than upon
the great landed proprieeo tors of estates in
Ireland. The Marquis of Buckingham's
motion was negatived, by . majority os 137
| to 81.
In the house of commons, certain cases
ia which the severity of the excise system
has been mitigsted by the interference OF
| the treasury, We're brought forward by the
opposition and one OF them the case of =

| ton. FIe H. entered a cargo of salt at
| 500 bushels, which, upon being measured,
was found to amount to SIS bushels. Ii
was conceived that a change in the atmos-
| phere might have occasioned a greater
| surplus weight. No attempt had been
made 10 brbe the excise officer and part
| of the fine was RENTED And this is the
most prominent Case upon which the party
rel ed Lord Cas.lereagh was very hap
| py in lis comments upon the anxiety of the
| modern wings to enforce TIE most rig + us
| execution of the excise laws.
| The motion was negatived, not by ma

have stated, but by a majority of %, the
numbers for the motion being 4S, and d.
