ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland has made out an ample case for the appointment -ctf the Committee for which he moved on Tuesday evening. The motion was temperately and ably br ought forward. It was not framed for the purpose of obtaining temporary popularity on his accession to office. The Right Honourable Gentleman had long before given notice of his intention of applying .for such a Committee. He had conferred with the ex-Secretary of State for the Home Department, 'had conformed to his views, and Sir GEORGE GREY, with a just and proper appreciation of the abilities. of Mr. NAPIER, had decided on leaving the matter in his hands and offering no opposition to the motion- It was a handsome tribute of respect to such an (ypponent to confide to his charge the important duty of :tarrying into practical operation one of the most urgent: recommendations contained in the Speech from the TI- trone. It was,however,.fully merited, and one that we's equally honourable to both parties. Whatever d ifferences might exist between Whig and Tory, .erotectionist and Free-trader, there would be an equal. anxiety amongst all for a due and sound administrat;inn of the law—a perfect and complete security for life, liberty, and property.  - It is admitted on every side that The great want of Ireland is the introduction of capital sufficient to develop its extraordinary natural capabilities. Bat capitalists are a sensitive race ; they will not incur risk, no matter how great may be the temptation in other respect. A safe 3 per cent. will be preferred to a doubtful 30 per cent., although the hazard may be amply covered by 2 or 3 per cent. of that amount. The only reason. why English capital has not hitherto found its way into Ireland, may be found in the agrarian outirttges that have been reported. A single murder, s etch as that of Mr. BATEMAN, may have nipped the most promising speculations in the bud, and occasioned a marked depreciation in the properties offered: for sale under the auspices of the Encumbered :Estates Commission. If we ask how it is that eligibly el'entastanced lands held in fee, -and with an unimpeachable title, are disposed of for less than ha half i their actual twelve years' value, or, n other words,. for eleven or purchase, we are told that no man, however pure his motives or guarded his conduct, can be considered safe from the machinati erns of ribandism. Any real or fanciedl be sufficient to a member of the terrible association viil e sufficient to call down a frightful retribution. The party will be placed on trial before a sanguinary and opportunity and jury unscrupulous tribunal. He can ,know nothing of the nature of the o f offering the charge, nor is there any explanations that might satisfy even the bloodthirsty accords the attentively Vehm-gericht isten The sec r e amn tosdtehr ant cmreedmebnecres,to and;t h r stoamethealnacoosmt of members, statements that some of our metropolitan magistraeo s do to those of policemen. Unless some champion should unexpectedly arise the matter is a foregone con elusion. The charge is preferred, the evidence of th s accuser is heard, and as the party implicated has n e. opportunity of clearing the matter, which he might v, rith due notice be easily enabled to rebut, and as 0(1 gentlemen (Ribandmen) present generally stiic;k together with edifying unanimity, acquit t.%15 are of rare occurrence. The verdict then is brought in, the sentence is pronounced in a tone of awful levity and the exec:u tioners are selected by lot, if volunteers anxious to distinguish themselves (! do not step forward in ;31nindance. But it is not merely among the .less wealthy classes that the organization has spro ad. It has entered into the jury-bor. And when we find that jurymen have, after returning their was diet, rushed forward to exchange greetings and shale, s hands with the discharged prisoners on whom the: t, have been sitting, and whose life or death has been dependent on their decision, and that the liberated cri,inai has  LONDON,  boasted of the outrage for which he could no longer be responsible, we must acknowledge the necessity of • change.  In calling for a Committee of Inquiry, rather then Introducing measures under the Ministerial sanction, the Irish
