ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
During the hnal debate on the address 10
The King, which took place on the gath Feb
~ OConusu- threatened, that should Minis
ters persist IN their measures for granting I'D
ditsonal powers to Government to eoeree Ire
land, he would use his influence To cause q
demand for gold on NIL the banks Of Irrland
This threat occasioned some alarm, as q full
himent would occasion a run which could
not be withstood, were the bankers ever 90
solvent; and general prostration OF busi-
ness and commercial credit would be the con-
sequence.
In the course Of the same debate, Cobbett
mace another long speech, and moved a sub
st'tute Tor the Address. A desperate attempt
was made to put him down by coughing,
sDeezlng, stamping Of the feet, and other dis
orderi. proceedings. hut he braved them all
ont-scorncd their attempts TO silence him.
