      daiwrous a character as many Irish members sup-Eose d him to be . Hj had spoken against the bill , m made no motion in conformity with the views ¦ whiVa he had expressed . The Sheffield blade was no ; , nfter all , so dangerous a weapon . He might speak warmly in reply to the honourable and learned gentleman ; but he trusted that the House would distinguish between the "honest indignation of a paniotic senator , " and the " bilious acerbity of a spiteful self-tormentor . " ( Laughter . ) After some observations from Colonel Duxse , who would not be tempted by "Mr . Roebuck into unsrfsnly personalities , Mr . Moore characterised the speech ofthe hon . ^ nd" learned gentleman as a distillation ofthe worst passions of the lowest order ofthe people of both countries . The episode then terminated , and the House went into committee on the bill .

      In committee , -31 r . Horsmax renewed his attack upon the government , charging it with being responsible for the deaths which bad taken place m Ireland . , ' .. . - , Fir Gkoboe Gbet again repelled the attacK , ana accn-vd Mr . Morsman of having himself impeded the efforts ofthe government for the relief of Ireland , by obstructing the Rate in Aid Bill . ilr . Roebuck replied to the attacks upon his " snail height and bilious temper , " and then proceeded to re-arraign the policy of the government , and to denounce the useless , if not mischievous , way iu which they had squandered the grants given by " Parliament Government had ten millions of money at then * disposal almost in one day—they laid it oat in one year . He asserted that by the

      employment of that sum properl y they could have set the people to work on their own fertile soil , and have replaced the lost potato by the produce of their labour . "What had they done with the ten millions ? They had flung them away in every possible manner . It was that which pressed on the right hon . baronet —not the amount ofthe sum , but that , large as it was ,, it had been expended so injuriously that it had left the people worse off than it had found them . ( Hear , hear . ) A ow , was there anything improper in MsTimking that statement ? Then he went further , and s ^ ked why ihe educated body of Irish

      ecntlemen had not stood forward and set the example of virtue in the appropriation of that sacred fund of charily " ? Why ( said the hon . member turning to the trfaiches oehind him ) could you not keep your hanus out of it ? ( "Hear , " and cries of "Oh , oh !"") I only asked your forbearance , and that you should have kept your fingers from that sacred fund . ( Hear , hear . ) -This renewed attack brought out Lord John * Rvsssll in an elaborate defence of his policy , ¦ which , when disencumbered of mere verbiage , amounted to this , that the government did not know what was likely to be the extent of the evil , and acted on the " rule of thumb . "

      Siionly afterwards , Mr . Bahkss took occasion to-ask the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer when the budget of the year would be submitted to the House . TheCHAXcEUORofthe Exchequer expressed a hope that he would be permitted to delay a little longer his financial statement for the year . Had it been submitted at an earlier period , it would have been of a more favourable character than , he feared , It would now be , owing to thc blockade of the northern ports , and other circumstances tending to check that commercial enterprise which had appeared io be reviving at the commencement of the year . . - . The bill went through committee , and the House resumed . lord J . Russeli . then moved that the House go intocoi-imitteeon the Parliamentary Oaths ( Jewish Disabilities ) Bill

      Aiimissiox of Jews to Faruaxest . —On going into committee on this bill , Sir it . Peel drew the attention of Lord J . Russell to tl » . " - effect which the bill , as it now stood , would "have upon the position of that portion of her Majesty ' s subjects professing the Jewish religion , who ought to be placed ia the same position as aU other classes . He explained the existing law as applied to th < j Jews , and the effect which the present bill would have upon it . The bill would relieve the Jews from ihe practical obstacle to their sitting in "P arliament ; but there would remain a disqualification for civil and military offices under the Crown in the oath ,- ! "ainstiransubstantiation , which was obviated

      by the annual Indemnity Act ; but he thought the measure would be incomplete if the Jews were not placed iu respect to qualification for civil offices , as well as for sitting in Parliament , on the same footing a . ~ oi her classes of her Majesty ' s subjects . Lord J . Russell said , the main object of this bill was to regulate the oaths to be taken by members of Parliament , and he did not think it would be expediem io provide in this bill for the admission of Jews io civil offices , though , if the bill passed , there could be tio difficulty in carrying through a measure for placing Jews , who are now admissible to municipal offices , on the same footing as other classes with respect to all civil offices .

      A brief conversation followed , in which Mr . "BAXH . KS . "Mr . . law , and Mr .-P . Howard took part . The House went into committee on the bill . - A . desultory discussion ensued in committee , apropos to an amendment submitted by Mr . "V . Surra , for the omission of certain words from the ProSesksnt oath , the result of which was that Lord John Russell expressed his readiness to omit the word . - , which referred to the " Pope of Rome , " and to the settlement of property as by law established , but "he declined to omit the words , " on the true faith of a Christian . " . After some further discussion ,

      Mr . V . Smith , satisfied with the concessions made "by Lord John Russell , observed that he would not press tliat portion of his amendment which proposed to omit the words " on the true faith of a Christian . " He would be contented to confine bis amendment to the omission of the words referring to the Pope of Rome and the settlement of property . The cileries were about being cleared for a di-Tision , when a desultory aud animated discussion arose a * to the precise purport of the amendment , and thc- form hi which it was to be put , during the progres .-. of which

      Mr . t fiooxer moved that the chairman report proffi-. - = sb , and ask leave to sit again ; This was made a fresh storting point , and a new discussion ensued ; when it appeared that the longer ii was continued the less were honourable members agreed as to what the amendment really was / t . , 1- how it was to be submitted . This led many to supjMji-i Mr . Spooner s motion for reporting progress , « u which ihe committee at length divided , and the numbers ivere—Po : reporting progress 1 * 22 Ai ^ u . ist ... ... — ... 241 Majority against ... ••« —119 It w . -i * Then moved that the Chairman leave the chair . The committee divided , and the numbers

Thc Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) , and the Estates Leasing ( Ireland ) Rills , passed through committee . « ad the St . John ' s , "N ewfoundland , Rebuilding Bill , was read a third time and passed . _ Loru PiOiERsxox brought in a bill for legalising marriage ? celebrated in consuls' houses abroad , which wa ^ read a first tiin * and the House adjourned a few minutes before one o ' clock .

      TUESDAY , Mat 15 . HOI 7 SI " " OY LORDS . — Affairs is Canada . — Lord Sr . oiET called the attention of Earl Grey to the alarming accounts which had arrived from Canada . After reminding the government of the heavy responsibility which would rest upon them in this mailer , the noble lord said that he should for the pi-i-stu : content himself with putting two questions — first , whether the Governor-General of Canada kid acted without advice or instruction from hc-i- "Majesty ' s government at home , and had been allowed so to act ; and , secondly , whether her Maj ^ ty ' s government had any explanation to offerasto liie present condition in which Canada appeared io be .

      Earl GfiKT replied that he had just received a despatch front Lord JElgin which would be laid before ihe Hou ^ c when it next met . It would appear from that communication that Lord Elgin hadacte £ throughout with his accustomed judgment and good sensej - and that / although a riot of a very aggravated nature lad certainly taken place at Montreal , there was no reason to apprehend a war of races in Canada . As for the question of responsibility , in "his opinion it rested quite as much with the noble lord and with the Opposition as with tie

      governm . ! Nox-Jkt . ' : ; . fehekce . —The Marquis of Lansdowxe , in answer i- > Lord Bhotjohau , stated that though considerable bodies of Russian troops had crossed the Austrian frontier at the request of the Austrian government , he did not think , under the circumstances , that England was bound to interfere in the matter . . . .. ' Agbiccltcrai , Distress . —The Duke of Richmoxd then brought forward the question of agricultural distress , ami in the course of his speech drew a lamentable picture of the ruin "' which had been brought ou tlie agricultural uart of the" nouiilatiou

      by free-trade measures . The government now said i that they could not retrace their steps , and for that reason the farmers wished- to see another administration in power . "For his own partj though-the resignation of the ministry was " sometimes held up interronnt over . the - country , he wished they-would resign , for he was convinced there would be no difficulty in finding "better Tnen to fill their places . ; His reason for bringing this ; subject-. before the House was to asceri-iin whether the government admitted ( he existence pf agricultural distress ,, and-, if "so , Ihether they were prepared with any . measures- to " ¦ leTjfctO t . :.- - ' :. ^ - : " - - ¦ % ' ¦ - - \ \ - -

      The Earl of Wixchilsea could not remain silent on the present occasion , for he thought that a continujuice of the existing state of things would senouilyafiejt the prosperity and tranquillity ottne country . For years they had pursued a fatal course , whereas if native and colonial industry had been properly encouraged , the colonial and home markets would have been able to consume all that the manufacturing interests of the country could beneficially have produced . They had still a loyal population in the country , but discontent was beginning to be felt , arising out of the distress occasioned by free-trade m easures ; and . on the government would rest the awful responsibility of involving this country in consequences which it was awful to contemplate ' ' '

      . _ Earl Gret . did not think the present a fitting occasion to re-open the question of free trade . "With regard to the question put by the Duke of Richmond , he was quite aware ofthe existence of great distress in the agricultural districts , and he could assure the noble duke that he sincerely de-Jriored it ; but , looking at what had occurred in brmer years , when similar distress had been brought under their attention , his firm conviction was , that any measures that might be adopted in the vain hope of relieving distress which arose from circumstances beyond their control , would do far more harm than good . After some explanatory observations from the Duke of Richmond , the matter dropped . Their lordships then adjourned to Friday .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Irish Church . —Mi-. B . Osborse gave notice that on Tuesday , the 5 th of June , he should move for a committee of the whole House to inquire into the temporalities of the Church of Ireland . THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . —Mr . F . 0 ' Connob gave notice for the same day of his intention to submit a resolution pledging the House to adopt the principles of the People ' s Charter .

      Parliamentary Reform . —Sir J . Waimsmy , on behalf of Mr . Home , absent through indisposition , postponed that hon . member ' s motion , on the subject of parliamentary reform , until the day above mention * J , when it wiU take precedence ot other motions . Caxada . —The subject of the outbreak in Canada , at the instance of Mr . Hermes , involved a discission , in which Mr . Roebuck , Mr . Disraeli , Mr . Hawes , Sir J . Pakinciox , Mr . Bright , aud Lord J . Russell took part ;

      Ibjsh Emigration , —Mr . Monsell , pursuant to notice , called the attention of the House to the question of emigration with reference to the necessities of Ireland . He adverted to the too well established fact of the abject social state of that unhappy country , and contended that , unless the remedy of emigration were applied , in conjunction with other measures , districts not yet in thc prostrate condition of the western unions would be soon drawn into the vortex of misery . Wherever the remedy had been tried it-had succeeded ; and from the comparative numbers of the population in prop ortion to the number of arable acres in Ireland and in other countries , it was plain that there must be a

      congestion of superfluous labour in the former , creating a mass of pauperism that was eating up the vitals of the country . Fortius state of things emigration would provide tho only remedy , and it need not be upon a large and expensive scale . It would be objected that the voluntary emigration already going on was excessive ; but this was owing to the class of the emigrants , whose flig ht from the country augmented the evil , increasing the disproportion between capital and population . He described , on the other hand , the vast absorbing power of our

      colonies , in which the labour of emigrants might be profitably applied to public works , as well as to the improvement of theland . He then suggested the modes by which emigration from "Ireland mi ght be encouraged , namely , giving greater facilities to Poor Law boards to borrow money for that purpose , and enabling landed proprietors to raise loans on the security of their estates for a limited time , the fund for making the advances to be created entirely from Irish resources . He concluded by moving an address to the Crown for papers .

      j Mr . J . 0 ' Cosnell moved , as an amendment , a r ~~ solution , to the effect that emigration was a t aw v and expensive remedy at best , and that the emiS '' " tion of farmers and small capitalists should ; . ue checked by securing to them the fruits of their " Industry ; that the most pressing object was -the frightful progress of distress in Ireland , wh ^ b called for further assistance from the State . He moved this amendment in no spirit of hostility to Mr . Mbnsell , but he opposed a scheme of State emigration on various grounds : it would involve an enormous expense , and Mr . Monsell , who had offered no specific plan , had not indicated the sources

      whence he proposed to get the money , which would be better spent at home , in promoting industry and relieving the terrible distress which was now depopulatingthe country . Mi-. Mooue considered the first proposition involved in the amendment , as most ill-timed . and illjudged , and the . arguments' used in support of it most inconsistent and out of place . It was no longer a question of emigration , because the people had already decided that they would do so , and if something were not done beyond out-door relief , they would be only helping thousands on their journey to the grave .

      Sir G . Gket thought the question brought forward"by the honourable member for the county of Limerick well deserving the consideration of the House , and undoubtedly one of the speediest remedies for removing what the honourable gentleman termed congestion of the population , would be partial emigration . "With regard to the precise proposition ofthe honourable gentleman , that increased power should be given to the boards of guardians to

      advance money out of the rates , or out of money borrowed on the security of the rates , for the purpose of emigration , he could only say , on the part of the government , that there existed every disposition to consider such a proposition , particularly as he understood that the honourable gentleman stated from his own knowledge that persons in Ireland were ready to advance money on thc security of the rates for carrying out that object . Mr . E . Roche supported the amendment .

      Mr . O'Connoe said that he had studiously avoided taking any part in the recent Irish debates , and for two very cogent reasons ; firstly "—least he may for a single hour be the means of withholding timely relief from his Starving countrymen ; and , secondly—least by putting the saddle upon the ri ght horse , — namely , the Irish Landlords—he might have led to an angry and protracted debate . ( Hear , hear . ) "Now , however , as there was a very large question before the Houae , namely—the expatriation , nay—the transportation of the Irish people , he could not allow that opportunity to slip of placing Irish grievances upon

      the proper shoulders . He had listened with some pleasure , and with no little pain , to the speech of the . hon . member for the county of Cork , relative to the present state of Ireland , aud to the effects likely to be produced by the proposed system ofemigration . [ Hereainesserigev from the Lords was announced , andthehon . member for Nottingham , was called upon to sit down . ] He continued to say that the hon . member for the county of Cork had trul y described the objects ofthe advocates of emigration . It was not to secure comfort for the emigrant in a foreign land , but It was to transport him like a criminal from the land of his

      birth , where he -was rendered surplus and useless b y the tyranny of Iris landlord . These numane gentlemen reminded himof the manner in which the kind-hearted owner of a faithful old dog disposed of him when he ceased to be useful . Unwilling to destroy him himself " , he got a servant to lose him , that he mi ght be destroyed by a stranger . Aud what the landlords now seek is , to lose their slaves , that they may perish in other lands . He had taken no notes of the statistical details relied upon "by the hon . member for the county o £ Liinerick , but he ventured to say , that he would quote them accurately from memory . The hon . gentleman , in-order to prove the excess of population in Ireland , as compared with that of England , has told the

      House that the population of Lincolnshire—an agricultural county—amounts to . only nine to one hundred acres , . while the population of Connaught amounts to seventy-eight to the hundred " acres . But the hon . gentleman had not the candour to inform those who are wholly ignorant of Irish affairs , ; that , whereas Lincolnshire is an agricultural county , . Connaught is a grazing and a feeding " province , with but little agriculture ; consequently increasing the : population applicable tio , * agriculture in that province , because he applies the division of the-whole population to a very "limited area of : agriculture .- . ( Hear , ; hear . ) The next argument- relied ; . np 6 n . was , that whereas over six hundred thot fsaiid , persons were jemployed hi manufactures in JBelgium , - ^ Mr . Monsell . — -I stated more .

      Mr . O ' Connor : said , he had taken the numbers stated hy the hon . gentleman to ' employed in the , seye ^ or ^ ohe ^ . ; of ' nianufaG ' tures hi that country , and in the gross ihey amounted ; to : httlQ ; more than six hundred

      [A: Pressure On Our Columns At The - Lat...

      thousand , but'he would takehis addition , -and say , let them deduct that larger amount from the gross population of Belgium , and still it would leave in that country a larger population , according to their respective sizes , than there is now in Ireland ; and how , he would ask , in the face of such facts , could the hon . member propose the expatriation of the Irish people , rendered surplus hy landlords' neglect of duty , while the land of their own country was loudly calling for their labour ? ( Hear , hear . ) But the hon . gentleman agreed with the hon . member for Manchester , for he admitted that Ireland was not over-populated , and in the face of such an admission who , . but the landlords , were responsible for those dire

      calamities and shocking deaths—hay , murders —which were . daily taking place in Ireland . [ At this , point ofthe hon . member ' s speech Lord Marcus Hill was engaged in a laughing conversation with Mr . John O'Connell , which arrested the attention of the House , when Mr . O'CONNOR said , " Sir , if I cannot command the attention , I request the silence ofthe noble lord , " ] He . would now call the attention of the House to the real grievance under . which Ireland laboured , arid he had as good a right to take part in that debate as any member in the House , because his family were amongst the largest fee-simple landed proprietors in the kingdom—not middlemen ,, but proprietors ; and let the House now markwhat was the real

      cause of Irish distress , dissatisfaction , and death . The Irish landed proprietors , as Sheridan truly described them , were " meiTy , poor devils . '' ( Hear , and laughter . ) According to custom , they managed then * estates according to the science of patronage , and not according to the science of agriculture . If a man . had a thousand a-year , or ten thousand a-year , he with the ten thousand a-year became the seri vile slave ofthe Minister in this House ,, barter .- ' ing his agricultural interest for political

      patronage . He was an absentee , spending his money here , while the domestic serf , with his thousand a-year , dispensed all local patronage . He became the representative of the Lord in foe— --he was a Justice of the Peace , distributing his own law—he was a Grand Juror , distributing his own patronage in the shape of road jobbing , gaol jobbing , and workhouse , jobbingand , still further , he was the charmed oracle from which the House andthe country received their Irish information . The hon . member for

      the county of Cork has told the House , that in the midst of the present distress , there are £ 400 , 000 locked up in the -Cork Savings Bank , while the land is waste for want of cultivation , and the people are dying of starvation for want of employment . ( Hear , hear . ) He remembered , when discussing the Repeal of the Union in 3834 , the then Chancellor ef the Exchequer—now Lord Monteagle—attempted to base the prosperity of Ireland upon the increasing deposits in the Savings Banks— -and he ( Mr . O'Connor ) answered his argument then , as he would the same argument now—that the

      fact is but proof of want of confidence in the Lish . landlords ., In the good old days of corruption and patronage , the Irish proprietor with a thousand a year received £ 1 , 500 or £ 2 , 000 from jobbing ; he mortgaged his £ 1 , 000 a year , w hieh was then of comparative insignificance , according to its value established b y protection . The mortgagees , thanks to free trade , had now swallowed ; up the whole rents of the property , and , hence , he was apathetic as to its management , and neither would or could give any encouragement to tenants- with capital . And although the hon . member for the county of Limerick

      had but lamented the expatriation of men with money , he had wholl y lost sig ht of the fact , that it was the men with arms , whom he wanted to transport , that had made that money for them . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . member for "Roscommon had told the House in a previous debate , that the farmers who had emigrated , had taken ten millions of capital with them . And why \ Merely because they could not expend it with profit or securit y upon L'ish property . But let him rcmiiid ' the House , that in 1834 he made a much more extensive and workable proposition than that now submitted by the hon . member for

      Limerick ( Mr . J ; O'Connell ) ; his proposition was to compel the Irish landlords to g ive leases for ever at a corn-rent , and then every available farthing , and the skill and industry ofthe country , would be applied to the cultivation of the soil . English manufacturers would then find the Irish people better customers for their produce , and the English workmen would find them better producers of their food . In 1834 he had predicted what the consequences of free trade would bo to Ireland and to England ; the Irishlandlordsasyot had got but a taste of it , but the English

      landlords had not even tasted it yet . If the noble lord ( Lord J . Russell ) had not gulled them in his Edinburgh missive with , his promised timely and prudent concessions , but had let those measures go on contemporaneously with free trade , then this dire calamity might-nave been averted ; biit he had not the courage . And now the country is reaping the consequence . That House appeared to have a dread of dealing with landed property , while it had no objection to deal with Church property , which was considered the highest desciiption of property , as all land was subject to tithe ;

      and -yet , as a sop to tae Irish landlords , that House felt no hesitation in relieving Irish land of twenty-five per cent , of its burthen . Now , what could be more ridiculous than to compel a man to pay the same amount of rent lor fourteen , twenty-one , thirty-one , or even ninety-nine years , when it was in . thc power of that House to alter the price of the produce , ' and in the power of Providence to destroy it ? The produce was , of the year ; the landlords ' necessities , if not incumbered by- gambling debts , and speculation , should hoof the year ; and what so fair a standard of rent as the

      value of produce for the year ? What manufacturer that would not laugh to scorn the proposition that he should pay a certain stipulated price for raw cotton for thirty-one years ? Well it w ould not be a bit more ridiculous than that" thc farmer should pay ' the same amount of rent each year' during that period . Let him now test the value "Of th ' 6 principle , ' of leases for ever , at a corn rent , whileat the same time he would satisfy tho emigration gentlemen as to the cause of capital .. leaving the country . Suppose a farmer to . hold a hundred acres or a thousand acres , upon a capricious

      lease , and suppose him to have capital to the amount often pounds an acre , and ; suppose the land to want draining and to require- the expenditure of capital for other improvements —who , he would ask , upon such a frail tenure , would be foolish enough to expend his capital ? Upon-the other hand , suppose the man to get a lease " . for ever , even at a high rent ; instantly the whole ofthe capital is applied to reproductive labour in the cultivation of the soil . ( Hear , hear . ) "Well , but then not an ablebodied labourer , much less farmers with capital , need emigrate . "Who can , hear oi read the dail y accounts of Irish misery without ' feeling his heart sick and his ; blood

      curdling ? . Was there ever , such an anomal y asa country with a fertile soil , a genial clhhate , and a hai'd y apQ" industrious people : becoming a perfect charnel house ? , , ; The hop . ' member for the University of Oxford ; reminded-the House , rather tauntingl y , that / the ilrish made the best hodmen . - - ' ' True ; ' they did so ; Ibut if they-carried the Hod to ' ; jthe copingstoneof the gorgeous mansion—if L-eiand had given , them scavengers , v wharfingers , and hodmen , She had also given : them . their best soldiers- ( which he regretted ) , their best sailors and ; generals ^ their ablest statesmen ; if they hada'dorned their streets ; they had also adorned their senate ,-their , bar , their pulpit , , and thek stage .

      Mr . O'Connor . —The hon . gentleman reminded him of another class ; but it would have been far better for Ireland if . she had never furnished suchatribe—( hear , hear )—for from Irish agitation may be traced all L'eland ' s woes—that agitation which pandered to the prejudices of the people ,. but uevermarshalled opinion to achieve a single Irish victory . The excited masses became serfs and tools in the hands of those who used them to acquire patronage for themselves . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Sir ( said Mr . O'Connor ) , as is my custom , I have cleared the ministerial benches—( laughter )—as the members of the government were sure to come in for their

      share ofthe blame for the present state of Ireland . [ Here Sir George Crey and the Chancellor of the Exchequer rushed from behind the Speaker' s chair to their seats , amid ! great laughter and cheers . ] I have them again ( continued Mr . O'Connor ) . He was not going to taunt a single Irish landlord with a single act of oppression . There was not a bad L'ish landlord in the House . ( Laughter . ) He saw the ri g ht hon . Secretary for Ireland opposite , and surely he had never heard of an Irish landlord ejecting thirty tenants in one day ; and surely ho Irish landlord in that House had ever cleared his estate of . 1 , 400 miserable creatures . "No wonder that the

      country was overpopulated under such manage- , ment ; and no wonder that Irish landlords were p laced in the humiliating position of puling beggars , coming to this House for alms and doles to compensate for their own acts of tyranny and cruel injustice . Let him now state two great causes of what was called overpopulation . The first was the eviction of hundreds of thousands of Forty Shilling Freeholders , cheerfully sacrificed to secure , as they thought , religious libertyj but who were used as an engine to secure , power and patronage for the more wealthy and designing of their

      faith . . That was the first crop ; and next came your Reform Bill , which , conferred the right ol voting upon tenants having , a £ 10 . interest in a fourteen years' lease . Well , what was the result ? Why , that the landlords , ' still clinging to the remnant of patronage ' produced by political power , made fourteen years' leases in the hope of inducing their . slaves to vote for them . This hope failed—those leases were made at the close of 1832 and expired in 1847 —tliis tenure-franchise died put , and now ministers . were compelled to have recourse to a new enfranchisement bill , to substitute living

      for dead voters ; the landlords had ejected the survivors , and now they came like cringing , crouching slaves to that House , asking for doles , and grants , and alms , and proposing to transport a population too scant to till the land if the landlords did their duty ; ( Hear , hear . ) He did not deny that there were some good landlords in Ireland , but they were the exception , hot the rule . The hon . member for the county Kerry was an excellent landlord , and so was the hon . member for Staffordshire , whose admirable letter he read , some time ago , in the " Times"

      newspaper , with exceeding pleasure . But how could the government , who were dependent upon the support of those slavish hacks and tools , dare to propose any sweeping measure ? True , they had proposed a sale of Encumbered Estates Bill , but what would be the result ? Why a conflict between owner and mortgagee . The estate would fetch nothing for the owner , after discharging the demands of the mortgagee , and the owner would offer every obstacle in his power to the sale of the estate . But if he required further proof of the tinkering policy of the government , they would find it in

      the fact clearly put before them b y the hon . member for Carlow ; that hon . gentleman told them , that if they attempted to impose a tax upon the claim of the mortgagee , all mortgagees would at once foreclose . Well , then , could there be a greater proof of ministerial imbecility , and incapacity to deal with the Irish ' ' difficulty , " than the fact that they were afraid to administer national justice , least they should create a feud between mortgagor and mortgagee , while the people were d y ing ? He would ask any member in that Ilouse , if it was uot more than au absurdity , under such

      circumstances , to hope to relieve Irish distress b y the transportation of the people ? One of the maxims of Froo Traders and Political Economists was , that not only-England , but Ireland , was over-populated , and that population pressed hardly upon the means of subsistence ; but now , when Irish immigration to England no longer constituted an idle competitive | urplus reserve to enable manufacturers to cut down the wages of their hands , the hon . member for Manchester admitted that Ireland w as not half populated . ( Hear , hear . ) But if he required tiny proof of the necessity , and of the

      value of improving the laud , it was to be found in the Bill of the noble lord , in-which all tenants were exempt from an increase of rates for improvements made within seven years . Last year at the end of April he had ventured to make two prophecies in that House ; the one was , that the harvest of last year would bo deficient in yield , and inferior in samjde . ; The other was that within twelve months thoy would lose Canada , aud however non . members may now sneer or laugh , he told them that within less than twelve months' they would lose Ireland and

      England too if they did not look sharp . Did those gentlemen opposite hope to rock their little cradle in quiescence in the midst of those convulsions which were now passing around them ; and had the "Free Traders lost si ght of the fact that Ireland , properl y governed and properly cultivated , would be a better market for English produce than India , China , and all their colonies and crimped markets put together . During tho present session every Lish debate resolved itself into' a conflict between commercial and landed interest in that House . The gorge of the commercial gentlemen rising

      at the very mention of an income tax , and supporting the Rate in Aid upon no other pretext than to save their own purses , Avhile the landlords were' roused to madness at the idea of an additional tax of sixpence in the pouiid . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had voted for the Rate in Aid Bill in its every stage , and his onl y regret was that it was not five shillings instead of sixpence in the pound . ¦ ' ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) Many Irish members , who-had voted for free trade , told him ( Mr . O'Connor ) that they , would not ¦ now repeat

      the folly . ( "No , no . " ) Who said . " No , ho ? " He asserted . 'it , and unless all other circumstances were now managed upon the same free principle , they would very speedil y discover their error . Let any honourable member , who proposed the transportation of the Irish ! people , accompany him from any railway tenninus ' iu ! England or in Ireland , and ! show him twenty acres of land , l ying together / cultivated to one-fifth part of its capability pf bearing , and all for the want of the app lication of theindustry of the country to the better cultivation' of the soil of the country .

      ( Hear , hear . ) , But . tlie landlords were not the only tyrants— -for , as the honourable member for iWest Surrey told them in his admirable speech , ' the greatest tyranny against which labour , had rto contend , was the power and influence of the ' capitalist . ( Hear , hear . ) Gentlemen were asked to propose a remedy for Irish grievances . He had submitted many , to that House , and , amongst others , he asked the government . to make . 'Msh ' rcsident landlords perform their . duties by Subjecting : ¦

      thcmtQYHnlant popular control ; for to expect justice- ' from I the -motley system of representation that that House presented , was impossible . " Before the Easter recess , he ' . ( Mr . ; . O'Connor ) had requested of the . Chancellor , of the ' Exchequer . tx > give up Easter Saturday ; to the Irish gentlemen to discuss -Irish' affairs , and to promise them that government wonld giYe its assent to ' any measure ihey ' »& ' && U ^ on ., .

      conclusion . ( Laughter . ) Now , let him dissect the composition of that Bouse— - here sat a party against the rate in aidthere sat a party against the income taxthere sat a party against any tax—there sat a party for transportation—and opposite sat a party confident and firm in their seats from their conflicting and varying elements . ( " Hear , hear , " and laughter . ) Now , then , that was the construction of the English House of Commons while the Irish people were hourly dying of starvation , wholly arising from landlords' neglect of duty . He told them again , and again , that government's only resource was to coerce them—to lash them into the performance of their duty ; but so long as the

      government could ensure the slavish support of Irish members they dare not legislate honestly for that country . ( Hear , hear . ) Let not the landlords suppose that they can now return to protection , but let them measure their future conduct by altered circumstances ; let thorn cultivate their land by the science of agriculture and not by the science of patronage , as it was a scheme and a scandal that any class in Ireland should be living luxuriously or even comfortably while the mass of tlie people were dying of starvation . In ¦ conclusion , he would give his continuous opposition to any measure which had for its object the transportation of his countrymen from the land of their birth , while the poverty of all was consequent upon then * non-employment .

      Sir J . Young denied that Ireland had sustained any injury from free trade attributing the distress of-that country to the vast disproportion which tho numbers of agricultural labourers bore to the quantity of arable land , causing a congestion that could only be relieved by the outlet which a system of emigration would provide . Mr . ScuMiY supported the amendment , and Mr . Burke the original motion . The House divided , when the , original motion was carried by 45 against 10 .

      : Pkison Discipline . —Mr . \ C . Peakson-then rose to introduce this subject , -which , he said , was one of very great importance . - It appeared that the prisons of fchis . eouhtry cost , on an average , £ 400 , 000 a year , irresjiectiye of the cost to the government for the punis / iment of crime by means of the hulks ' and transportation . lie would undertake to prove that the criminal class of this country might be made to maintain itself without a single shilling of expense either to the nation or to the counties which now had to bear that enormous charge . He undertook also to prove that this should be ' oone by means of a reformatory character , without slave-labour—that the means of dieting and clothing the prisoners , and pavhifiT the expense of their prisons , could be obtained

      by means th . it were reformatory , without interfering with the just fights of free labour . It was now twenty-five years since his attention was first directed to this subject as a member of the Prison Discipline Society , and since that time he had held various public employments , which had placed him inconstant communication as well with prisoners as with those entrusted with the administration of prisons . He therefore stood there with some reputation oh his head on this question ; and he affirmed , if the Ilouse would grant him a committee , that he undertook to prove tno propositions he was then statin * . . His first proposition was , " he sought a uniform system . " Might he state to that House that the cost of our prisons varied to an extent which in itself alone demanded correction ? He

      saw by thc inspector s . repori ; of the northern district that we had recently had a prison erected and enlarged in this country at an expense of £ 1 , 200 per prisoner . He would state that tho Millbank prison cost £ 500 per prisoner ; that the new prison —the new model prison of England , under the new system , at Reading , for instance , cost £ 220 pelprisoner ! He would ask whether , in enunciating that fact alone , he had not done sufficient to induce the House to grant a committee of inquiry , to ascertain what were the circumstances that had led to such a result ? He would further affirm that if

      that system of separate imprisonment were to be extended throughout the country , it would require six millions of money to adapt our present prisons , or erect new prisons to receive the amount of prison population that would be required for the purpose . Painful as was thc necessity of bringing fortvard statements affecting the present system of discipline—painful especially as it must be to him to make these statements unaccompanied by the proofs , if a committee were not granted to him—still it was absolutely necessary for him to lay them before the Ilouse , as the statements on which his proposition was founded ; but the moment any member of the government told him they were willing to give him the committee , tliat moment he would desist from

      proceeding any further . Thc enormous increase of crime of recent years was enough to startle any reflecting mind . He had examined the statistics ' , and would not throw the responsibility upon any writer : be would be answerable himself for the accuracy of every figure he quoted . Tho number of commitments and recommitments in England and "Wales for trial on criminal charges had increased within the last forty years upwards of 400 percent . : whilst the population had increased only sixty-five percent . The literal statement of the figures , . as rendered to the Home-office by the prison inspectors , and by . committees of that Ilouse at various times , gave a result of even greater magnitude than that . Tlie committals for trial in England and Wales , in

      the year 1810 , were 5 , 146 and in the year 1 S 4 G they were 26 , 851 , being an increase of 428 per cent . He did not pretend to say that crime had increased in that proportion in this country ; * ho believed the reverse was the fact—ho believed tlio enormous increase of crime could bo accounted for by circumstances totally irrespective of increasing criminality on the part ofthe people . ( Hear , hear . ) " There were now thousands of acts which in " 1810 were not visitable by law , and which are now punishable as crimes by imprisonment . ( Hear , hear . ) He was hist informed that if he did not move for his committee at once , he should lose his house . ( Laughter . ) Not havinsr had the privilege of frequently hearing his voice intiie House , he would

      not say he would rather lose his committee than lose his speech , but on a question of this importance he felt it to be his duty to develope all the circumstances of the case . ( Hear , hear . ) However , honourable gentlomen . oppositc , if they had any measure of importance to bring on , might easily procure his silence by granting him the committee . ' ( Laughter . ) It appeared that eighty per cent , of all the commitments and summary convictions were for larcenies , vagrancies , misdemeanors , juvenile delinqencies , and other petty ' offences , punishable by short periods of imprisonment , varying from seven days to six months . The committals for trial in England and Wales were , in 1 S 46 , 26 , 351 ; and ' the summary convictions in the same year were 00 , 092 ;

      making atotal of 92 , 843 . Thore was' an important circumstance , to which was to he ascribed the enormous increase of petty offenders ; that was the great degree of comfort enjoyed in the gaols . The prisoners were better , fed , clothed , lodged , and taught , tlian were the class to which thc great majority of them belonged out of prison . ( Hear , hear . ) They there enjoyed a greater degree of comfort'than they could ever enjoy by honest industry . They also got a taste for luxurious indulgence , ' which it was impossible for them to gratif y when they got out . ( Hear , hear . ) By this means they did not make prisoners better , but made them worse . They did them a positive injustice and injury , and inflicted ¦ a groat evil on tho rato-pavcrs " , many of whom were not themselves so well fed , clothedarid

      , lodged . '¦• ( Hear , hear . ) An Hon . Membeb here proposed that the House should be counted . Thc result showed that a sufficient number of members were present . ' 3 fr . Pkarso . y resumed his speech by referring to the evils of idleness , which he conceived to be the great incentive to crime . It was' true that it was said- thatfour-fifths of thc crimes committed were the result of intempcranco ; but admitting it to be so , was riot . that- intimately associated with - idleness ? It was the want of continuous industry that led to the commission of crime , and if they wanted to resist the progress of crime , it must bo by an ent ire reversal of the principle on which they had hitherto acted . ( Hear , hear . ) The next circumstance to which he would call the attention of the

      House was , that eighty-one per , cent ; ofthe male criminal population were between the ages of sixtv and forty-five , and therefore at that period of lite when they should be engaged in supporting themselves and those dependent upon them , and fortyseven per cent , were between the ages ' of twenty and thirty-five . It might be easily inferred from his observations , that tlie foundation of his proposition would be that continuous labour should be the means adopted for punishing tho ' criminal , and making him support himself without bein <» a burden upon the honest portion of the-community . The objection made to that proposition was , that this is a free country ,-an'd they could hot endure ' slaveiy The Scripture founded

      was , a part of the laws of the country ; and when was this declaration repealed ' - "Ho who stealeth shall be sold intoboridago ^' But without Acnce'to Scripture at all / thcy Wereehtitledy kc ^ whole of his powers p f industry .

      debt for originally building the prison , and also f 0 r the support of the Prison Discipline Society . He did not introduce this as a model for imitation but only adduced it as evidence to show that there ' was a power of calling forth from persons in prison the full amount of the labour of . which they were capable . Ho begged also to call attention . to the system adopted in Belgium and France , ' but the mode their adopted was not to be imitated ; and he trusted this country would show the example of a better mode . His objection to the American system was this—that it was not suited to this country . Neither did he offer the Belgian or French system as a model for imitation . One great portion of their in . , dustry was in tailoring , and making shoes and shirt ? and articles of that kind , yet a largo portion of the labour was machine labour , weaving and spinning

      that require the use of machinery . He objected to that plan , for if they took a labourer to make him a spinner spinner or weaver , what was to become of that man when he was thrown again on society ? ( Hear , hear . ) However , they did all these things in this country without deriving from them tha benefit they ought to derive from them . After pay . ing £ 470 , 000 a year , " the expense of their gaols , instead of producing the amount that the Bel gian and American gaols produced , they only produced in this country about £ 10 , 000 a-year . That wag produced in the Millbank , Pentbnville , and some other prisons . They adopted the American princi ple with all its evils , . without any of its advantages . After some further remarks elucidatory of his ( Mr . C . Pearson ' s ) views upon this subject , the hon , gentleman concluded bv movin < r for a " select

      committee to inquire and report upon the practicability of establishing a uniformity of discipline , punitive , reformatory , and self-supporting , to be applied to all persons sentenced to imprisonment for crime . " Sir G . Gret replied generally to tho arguments of the hon . member , and , in conclusion , said he should not object to the appointment of a committee to inquire into the plan of building prisons , and into the treatment of prisoners , provided that inquiry extended over a limited period , and was confined to a comparison of tho present with the former systems , but to the indefinite motion of the hon . gentleman he could not consent . After some observations from Mr . Roundeix PaIjMBR in favour of the management of Beading gaol , Mr . Brotiikriox suggested the adjournment of the debate , on the ground of its importance , which motion was agreed to , and the Ilouse adjourned .

      WEDNESDAY , May 15 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mr . Hmyks laid upon the table of the House some papers respecting Canada . Mr . Roebuck took occasion to state the substance of private letters received from tho province , which showed that there was no foundation for the supposition that the present excitement there partook of the character of a war of races . ! The Indemnity Bill was a money bill , providing for tho appropria « tion of local funds , and ho thought that thc Imperial Parliament should not interfere with tlie Canadians in disposing of their own money . Such interference would give rise to a real cry for annexation , there being nothing but a sham cry for it in the province now . Mr . Hawes deprecated discussion upon thesub . ject , until the Ilouse had had an opportunity of thoroughly appreciating the whole question ,

      Mr . Gladstone concurred with Mr . Hawes , but protested against the inference which might be drawn from what fell from Mr . Roebuck , that the Imperial Parliament had no right to interfeie with the disposal of the colonial revenues . He admitted that it should not interfere on li ght grounds . Sir Of . Grev did not regard such an inference as deducible from what had fallen from the honourable and learned gentleman . Ho trusted , however , that discussion would be avoided until the House was in possession of the whole case . The matter , after some observations from Mr . Newdegate andMr . E . Deskon , was dropped .

      The Ilouse then went into committee on the Landlord and Tenant Bill , ' which occupied the remainder of the sitting .
