In Parliament. Extract from
Lord Bentick's speech on the distress
in Ireland:
Lord G.. Bentick, the corn law lea
der, observed, that neither he nor his
friends had any intention to make Ire
land the battle field of party. They
deeply sympathised with the miseries
Of Ireland, and with her Majesty's con-
Germ for them; and they would give
their best and calmest attention to any
remedies brought forward for their re-
lief. They must, however, deal frank
y with ministers. They could not
look at the operation of the Poor En-
ployment Act and say that it had wor-
ked well: for its effect had been to OBJ
struct the public conveyances, and to
leave the fields Of ireland untitled
Neither could they agree in the wis
dom of the ministerial measures for
the supply of food to the people; for
government ought to have broken
through the rules of political economy
and to have provided people Of Ire
land with supply of food. Looking
at what had occurred in the barony of
Skibbereen, where the population had
been decimated in the last few weeks
by famine, could it be said that the
government had done its duty? There
were three or four hundred thousand
quarters of wheat now in the three
ports of London, Liverpool, and Glas-
gov. What was there to prevent the
government from sending it at once to
Ireland to feed the population starving
there? He did not expect much ben
eft to accrue from the relaxation of
the navigation laws; for it was too
late now TO be sending the ships of all
nations to America, for to America
they must 60, if they wished to procure
corn. He advised Ministers TO relax
their rigid principles Of political econ
omy, and to send the eight ships Of the
line which they had now ready for
sea at once to America for corn
They might make five voyages TO and
from that continent before the next
harvest, and in that time they would
bring back SOC, 900 quarters-no mean
supply towards feeding the people OF
Ireland.

P We copy from the Quincy
WING the following extract OF a le''s'
d,tcd at Prairie du Chicn, in when
the writer INDUCES in censure Of mat
veteran officer, Capt. Wiram Knowlton'
General Taylor does not stand al0"e
in the pillory. :,
While | also have been persona.

months. have not been out Q, sign.
Of the Fort during this time, think
have as good right to know as inc ne
editor who resides only 80 or 4O
niles from here. l will not deny that
Il has been very sickly at this point,
vet do deny that this has been the
principal cause of neglect oil duty on
the part of the commander at that
fine. as the subsequent proceedings
Of the Secretary of War in relation to
this post will plainly show. General
Brooke was sent up to see If all was
right and the discipline of the army
carried out. If you could have seen
the scraping and brushing for two
weeks before the General arrived, you
would have come to the same conclu-
sion that did, that it was not inprob-
able that they would be mustered out
of the service, or change in the COM
mand. The morning of the general
muster was the first time the company
had all been present since the day they
were mustered into the service. After
the General had inspected them they
went to inspect the guard house anu
guard. When they came TO the Ser
geant OF the guard, the General says,
Captain, how strong is your guard? he
replied, don't know. He then said,
Of what strength is your guard? to this
he made no reply. The General then
turned to the Sergeant, who was an
old acquaintance, and says, Frank,
how strong is your guard? he replied,
two relief, sir. Frank, am glad that
some Of you do know something here.
1t was only by the skin of their teeth
that they were saved. have not
heard of the Captain being on parade
but once since, and that was at the
December pay muster. The men
were paraded by the Orderly, when
the Captain presents himself and takes
his pos tnear the Orderly, and turning
to him he says, Sergeant, what shall
say to the men? tell them to shoulder
arms. He gave the word, and the
men obeyed. Then leaning again, he
says, what shall l say next? tell them
to present arms. This he did not I'M
derstand, and gave the order, reverse
arms. This set the men in a roar OF
laughter, and all this on account Of the
sickness!
Now let US see what Gen. Brooke
thinks of it. Very soon after his re-
turn home, one evening there arrived
at this post office, two large yellow pa
pers. one directed to Major Hooe, and
the other to Capt. X. The one to the
Major put him in command of the
post-the other notifying the Captain
Of the change in the commanding Of
beer. The change took place some
weeks since. Things now go on well
and the Captain now attends 'reveille'
as well as stattoo,' and is drilled in the
manual exercise from one to two hours
per day, by Sergeant Warner, who by
the way, knows his duty, having been
in Uncle Sans school l3 years. l
presume the men will make good SOL
diers under the instruction Of Major
HI.
