MURDER OF MR. REYNOLDS.  Lord RODEN was anxious to ask the Noble Marquis opposite if he had any objection to lay upon the table of the House a paper which he was desirous to have on the table before bringing on the subject for discussion of which he had given notice. - It related to a transaction Which had taken place during the Noble Marquis's residence in Ireland, and, therehre, he would probably have no objection to produce it. He should state the circumstances connected with that paper, and ifthe Noble Marquis wished to have time to consider the subject, he should give notice of his motion for Monday. Those of. their Lordships who were on the Committee on Irish Education last Session, might remember the circumstance of a gentleman being examined before that Committee with respect to the part of the country where he was stationed as chief officer of the Coast Guard—Mr. Reynolds. He stated that the Roman Catholic Priests had denounced Protestantism and encouraged the Roman Catholics around him to discourage the Protestants in that part of the country, which was. in the Barony of Arris, he being of the Coast Guard of Achill Island. In consequence of this information having been given to the Committee, anti when it was reported and circulated throughout the country in the newspapers, very great violence of conduct, as he (Lord R.) had been informed, was shown by the peasantry against that gentleman, who, notwithstanding, persev,red in the discharge of his duties in defiance of the insults and injuries offered to him. But, unhappily, within the last few months that gentleman had been murdered. He had fallen a victim to a violent attack made on him ; whilst watching over souse wreck in the neighbourhooi, he was attacked and murdered. He certainly thought this transaction required most serious inquiry. If the testimony which he had gii-en before their Lordships had been the means of drawing down upon him the vln!encc of the people, it was of' the highest importance that that subject should be inquired into. With the view of having that inquiry gone fully into, he should move that all the papers connected with that murder should be laid on the table.  The Mar(pfs of SLIGO said that he knew a great leal of the case that had been referred to by the Noble  Lord-7( Hear, hear)—aud he thought that it would  [aye been more wise if the Noble Lord had delayed  moving for the returns till the decision of the Jury had taken place. The Marquis of NORMANBY said that the Noble Marquis who had just sat down had anticipated what he had intended to say. He thought it would he better for the Noble Lord to delay moving for the returns until the decision of the Jury was known. Lord RODEN concurred in the propriety of the suggestion, and postponed his motion for the returns. The Marquis of NORMANBY, in answer to a question from the Earl of Charleville, said that the Governmrt had directed the rewards offered for the apprehension of offenders to be paid locally, and not at the Gtsile of Dublin, as heretofore, which he was in hopes would have a beneficial effect.  rho House adjourned at Half-past Five o'Clock to Monday.  HOUSE OF COMHONS, Masch 1.  The SPEAKER too!: the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock.  Sir R. DONKIN brought up the Ordnance B-timates, which were ordered to be printed.
