SOLICITOR-GENERAL was quite opposed to the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Clare. It was his solemn and sincere conviction that he had never seen a case which had broken (loam so completely as this case had, and he should, upon these grounds, vote against the motion. Lord F. L. GOWER did not think it at all necessary, for the ends of justice, that the papers called for should be produced; he should resist their production.  Mr. O'CONNELL replied, that he wished, in the first instance, to state, that the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Doherty) laboured under a mistake as to the definition which he (Mr. O'Connell) gave at the trial of the crime of perjury. He then stated that, according to the doctrines of the church to which he belonged, the breaking of a lawful oath, or the taking of an unlawful one, was perjury, and !o that statement he still adhered. The Sub-letting Act had been introduced into this discussion, with which it had nothing to do. In reference to one particular speech which he (Mr. O'Connell) was represented to have made on that subject, arid to which the Learned Gentleman had referred, he (Mr. O'Connell) wished to state that the words attributed to him at the end of that speech in a Dublin paper had not been used by him. He ri collected meeting the reporter of that paper in the ball of the Four Courts the day that speech was published, and he told him the paper would be prosecuted for it. The reporter, like reporters generally, was sturdy, and adhered to his version of the speech ; but he (Mr. O'Connell) having upplied to the reporter of another morning paper in Dublin, who had taken a more accurate note of the speech, at his request that gentleman wrote out his notes, from which it appeared that he (Mr. O'Connell) never employed the language attributed to him in the newspaper referred to by the lion. and Learned Gentleman. He only asked for evidence, not for a vote of censure. If  he had the depositions, he would prove all he had undertaken to prove : but the Noble Lord ,was too dignified, and the H)n. and Learned Solicitor-General (Mr. Doherty) too sagacious to grant them.— He contended that lie had proved his case, and that the depositions of the informer, as well as the notes of She Judge, ought to be produced before the House. Mr. PERCEVAL defended, in strong terms, the conduct of the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Long after party feelings had ceased, his solicitude for the weifare of that country would be recollected with sentiments of gratitude. His character would stand high in the favour of the people of Ireland, when the attacks of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman were  forgotten. The cry- of " Question" now became general. The galleiy was cleared for a division. The numbers were—  For the motion.. Against it 7O  Majority The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'clock.  IVe have just heard of a melancholy case of suicide, committed by a gentleman in the county Limerick, who has for for some time past been labouring under mental aberration. As the case will come under the surveillance of the Coroner, we refrain from making any further observation for the present. By the death of this gentleman a pension of 1,0001. a year from the Civil List reverts to tlke Crown. This annuity he enjoyed in right of his late father, who was for many years an illustrious Dignitary of the Irish Rencli.,--Publin Morning Register.
