PARLiANENT-HoUsE OF LORDS, June l6-The
Earl OF Aberdeen said the government of BIa.
I'll had agreed to send tunctonary to this
country, with the view OF carrying on the negocia

vernment wished TO admit their sugar at a duty
OF not mole than ID per cent, to which this country

HOUSE OF CoMMoNs-IRIsH ARMS Billion the
order of the day being moved tor going into COM
mttee on the Irish Arms bill, Mr. Wvse rose TO
move, as an amendment, resolution OF which he
had given notice. He said that he could not con-
sent TO the passing OF restrictive measure OF this
nature until Its necessity had been proved upon
more sufficient grounds than those that had been
adduced by her Majesty's government. He did not
speak party man, or as one who preferred one
| government To another; but as an Irish member,
deeply interested in the welfare OF his country. The
state of crime in Ireland did not at all warrant the
enactment of so harsh measure tor that country
This could be shown on the authority of the Judges,
who were far more TO be relied upon than the autho
rty of the police, upon which the government rest
ed. But supposing that some parts OF Ireland were
in disturbed state, was that any reason tor placing
/ the whole OF the country under an oppressive Law
| of this character Why should Waterford, tina
| was always in tranquil state, be placed in the
same condition of restraint as the north, where out
RACES were committed! Let the remedy appen(
where the evil existed, but not to the peaceabe par
OF the country. But this bill, II even Iassed INTO
law, would not effect the object proposed, OF sup
pressing outrage, because it was not by the use o
alone that outrages OF the worst character were
| committed Ii was notorious that the worst crimes
were perpetraed by large bodies OF men assembling
night and setting fire to the houses OF those who were
obnoxious 10 them. This was not the sort of legsla
ton that was proper TO quiet or concate the Irish
people. Ii not by paltry measure of this KIND
that theywere be controlled reconciled to the
union but by the enactment OF wise and just laws
| placing both countries on perfect equality. Hwas
not by pouring troops into the country, or by such RI
dIculous exhibitions as that which was made the
other day in sending military force to storm Wa
| terord when the people were peaceable as they
are at present. This farce was got up by person
who belonged to set OF corrupt fellows, who termed
themselves oyalists, and who were always purcha-
sable at elections This person told this tale OF re-
bellon from his own invention to one OF the Coast
Guard, who told il TO an Inspector, who sent II on
to a stipendiary magistrate, who transmitted II to
the government, who, without making the slightest
| inquiry OF any of those respectable authorities on
the spot who could have rightly informed them, sent
down forthwith, in breathless haste, on the lounda-
| ton of this trumped-up story, an armed steamer
hlled with troops to engage Immediately the lmagl-
nary rebels Bu such nrncee dInas as this IL WAS
