    _dangerous a character as many Irish members snpposci him to be . It- had spoken against the bill , but made no motion in conformity with the views which he had expressed . The Sheffield blade was not , after all , so dangerous a weapon . He mi ght speak warmly in repl y to the honourable and learned gentleman ; but he trusted that the House would distmguish between the "honest indignation ofa patriotic 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 unseemly personalities , Mr . Moore characterised the speech of the hon . and learned gentleman as a distillation of the worst passions of the lowest order of the people of hoth countries . _ The episode then terminated , and the House went into committee on the bill- _ _ . .. .

    In committee , Mr . Hraaux renewed his attack * pon the _government , _cbar-in- it with being _responsible for the deaths which had tnkon place m _^ _Lkoe Gke t again repelled the attack and accused Mr Horsman of having himself impeded Si of the _governmental'the relief of Ireland , by obstructing the Rate in Aid Bill . Mr Ro BBCCK replied to the attacks upon his " small height and bilious tewper , " and then proceeded to re-arraign the policy of the government , and to denounce the useless , if not mischievous , _-wav in which they had squandered the grants given by-Parliament Government had ten millions of money at their disposal almost in one day—they laid it out in one year . He asserted that by the employment ofthat sum -properly they could have set the people to work on their own fertile soil , and have Teplaced tbe lost -potato hy the produce of their labour . What had they done with the ten millions ?

    They had flung them away m every possible manner . It was thai -which pressed on tlie 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 . ) Sow , was there anything improper in Ms making that statement ? Then hc went further , and asked why the educated body of Irish gentlemen had not stood forward and' setthe example of -virtue in the appropriation of that sacred fund of charity ? "Wh y ( said the hon . member turning to the benches behind him ) could you not keep your bands out of it ? ( "IIeaT / ' 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 Johx _Hcsseix 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 ofthe evil , and acted on the " rule of thumb . "

    Shortly afterwards , Mr . _Baskks took occasion io ask the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer when the budget of the year would be submitted to the House . The CHAKCBixoBof the _ExcnEquEK expressed a llOpethathe wonld be permitted to delay a little longer his financial statement forthe year . Had it been submitted at an earlier period , it would have been of a more favourable character than , he feared , 5 t would now _bav owing to the blockade of the "northern ports , and other circumstances tending to check that commercial enterprise which had appeared to be reviving at the commencement of the year . The bill went through committee , and the House resumed . Lord J . Russell then moved that the House go into committee on the Parliamentary Oaths ( Jewish Disabilities ) BilL

    Admissiox op Jews to Pabliajient . —On going into committee on this bill , Sir R . Peel drew the attention of Lord J . Russell to the 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 in the same position as all other classes . He explained the existing law as applied tothe Jews , and the effect which the present bill would have upon it . The bill would relieve the Jews from the practical obstacle to their sitting in Parliament ; but there wonld remain a disqualification ibr eivil and military offices under the Crown in the oath against transubstantiation , which wa _* obviated

    b y the annual Indemnity Act ; but he thought the measure would be incomplete if the Jews were not placed in respect to qualification for civil offices , as well _= as for sitting in Parliament , on the same footing as other classes of her Majesty ' s subjects . iord J . Russell said , the main object of this bill was to regulate the oaths to be taken by members of Parliament , andhe did not think it would be expedient io provide in this bill for the admission of Jews tO Civil offices , though , if tlie bill passed , there could be no 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 . _Uaskes , 3 dr . Lot , and Mv . P . _Howard took part . The House went into committee ou ihe bill . A desultory discussion ensued in committee , apropos to aa amendment submitted by Mr . V . Smith , for the omission of certain words from the Protestant oath , thc result cf which was that Lord John Russell expressed his readiness to omit" the words which referred to thc " Pope of Rome , " and to the settlement of property as by law established j bnt hc declined to omit the words , " on the true faith of a Christian . " After some further discussion ,

    Mr . T . Smith , satisfied with the concessions made by Lord John Russell , observed that he would not press that portion of his amendment which , _pronoscd to omit the words " on the true faith of a Christian . " He would be contented to confine Ms amendment to the omission of the words referring to the Pope of Rome and the settlement of property . Tho galleries were about being cleared for a _division , when a desultory and animated discussion arose as to the precise purport of the amendment , and the form hi which it was to be put , during the progress of which

    3 dr . Spooxer moved that the chairman report progress , and ask leave to sit again . This was made a fresh starting point , and % new discussion ensued ; when it appeared ihat the longer it was continued the less were honourable members agreed as to what the amendment really was or how it was to be submitted . This led many to support Mr . Spooner ' s motion for reporting progress ,- on which thc committee at Iengih divided , and tke numbers were _^—Bar reporting progress 122 . Against — - *• " Majority against ... — _—1 W ' It was then moved that the Chairman leave the chair .. , The eommirtee divided , and the numbers

    were—Por ihe motion H _* Agasnstit ... 22 _*> _3 _Jajority against —114 It-was-finally arranged that the Chairman should report progress , and ask leave to sit again , whereupon the House resumed . The Encumbered Estates ( Ireland ) , and the Estates Leaeing ( Ireland ) Bills , passed through committee , and .-the St . John ' s , Newfoundland , _liebuildins BUI , was read a third time and passed . ~ Lord _Pawesstox brought in a bill for legalising marriages celebrated in consuls' houses abroad , which was read a first time and the House adjourned a few minutes before one o ' clock . . .

    TVESDAY , Mat . 15 . . HOUSE OF LORDS . — Affams in _Caxada . — Xord S _* cAxxE _* r « alled the attention of Earl Grey to the _alarming-accounts which had arrived from Canada . After -reminding the government of the leavy responsibility which would rest upon them in this matter , the _iKible lord said that he should for the present content himself with putting two questions —first , whether the Governor-General of Canada had acted without advice or instruction from her Majesty ' s government at home , and had heen allowed so to . act : and , secondly , whether

    her _JL-ijesty ' s government had any explanation to offer as to the present _condition in which Canada appeased to be . EarlGBET replied thai Jehad just received a despatch | fom Lord . Elg in which would be laid before the Hoiks when It next met . It would appear from that _coemunication that lord Elgin had _aotei _throughout with his accustomed judgment and good sense _andahat , although a riot _« f a very aggravated nature _aadjeettainly taken p lafte & l Montreal , there was no } reason to apprehend s . war o f races in Canada .

The government now said that they could not retrace their steps , and for that reason the farmers wished to see another administration in power . For ' hii own part , - though tHe resignation of the ministry - was sometimes , held up inlerrorem over thacountry , ; he - wished they would resign , * for he was convinced there would be no diffi culty iaflnding . better men to fill their places .

    The Earl of Wischilsea could not remain silent on the present occasion , for he thoug ht that a continuance ofthe existing state of things would _senously affect the prosperity _^ nd _*^^ _$ _Jf . ™" country . Foryearsthey had pursued a fatal _< Bourse whereas if _native and colonial industry had heen properly encouraged , the colonial and _jome _^ markets would have been able to consume all that the WaSring _^ c , ould . 1 ° " ° ficially have produced . They had st . _llaloyal , population in the country , but discontent was beginning to be felt , arising out ofthe distress occasioned by free-trade measures ; and on the government would rest the awful responsibility of involving this

    country in consequences wnicn it was _awiui io contemp late . ¦ '* -- ,. , .. . -... Earl Gret . did not thmk 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 of the _existence of great distress in the agricultural districts , and he could assure the noble duke that he sincerely deplored it ; but , looking at what had occurred in former years , when similar distress had been brought under their attention , his firm conviction was , that any measures that might he adopted in the Tain 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 , thc matter dropped . Their lordships then adjourned to Friday . nOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tue Irish Church . —Mr . B . Osbobxe 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 . O'Coxnob 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 . PARLIAMEXTAKt REFORM . —Sir J . WALMSLEY , OH behalf of Mr . Hume , absent through indisposition , postponed that hon . member ' s motion , on the subject _, of parliamentary reform , until the day above mentionti , when it w lll take precedence ot other motions .

    _Casada . —The subject of the outbreak in Canada _, atthe instance of Mr . Hekkies , involved a discussion , in which Mr . Roebuck . Mr . Disbaeli , Mr . Hawes , Sir J . _PAKixoiOJf , Mr . Bright , and Lord J . Russell took part . Ikish Emigration , —Mr . _Moxsell , 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 ofthat unhappy country , and contended that , unless the remedy of emigration were applied , in conjunction with other measures , districts not yet in the prostrate condition ofthe western unions would be soon

    drawn into the vortex of misery . Wherever the remedy had heen tried it had succeeded ; and from the comparative numbers of the population in proportion to the number of arable acres in Ireland and _m other countries , it was p lain that there must be a congestion ef superfluous labour in the former , creating a mass of pauperism that was eating up the vitals ofthe country . For this state of things emigration would provide the only remedy , and it heed 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 unprovement of the land . He then suggested the modes hy which emigration from Ireland might 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 . Mr . J . ( V _Coskell moved , as an amendment , a re

    | solution , to the effect . that emigration was a tanv and expensive remedy at best , and that the _enriS ra _* tion of farmers and small capitalists should P . _° checked by securing to them the fruits . of their _«• - dustry ; that the most pressing object was tne frightful progress of distress m Ireland , -wWC ' called for further assistance from the State . H _* moved this amendment in no spirit of hostility to Mr . _Monsell , but he opposed a-scheme of State emigration on various grounds : it would involve an enormous expense , and Mr . Monsell , who bad offered no specific plan , bad not indicated the sources whence he proposed to get the money , which would be better snent at home , in promoting industry and

    relieving the terrible distress which was now depopulating tbe country . Mr . _Mooee 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 bad 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 joarnev to tbe grave . Sir G . Gbey thought the question broug ht 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 thc 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 moneyon the security of the rates for carrying out that object . Mr . E . Roche supported the amendment .

    Air . O'Connor said that lie liad 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 starring conntryraen ; and , secondly—least b y putting the - saddle npon the right horse , — namel y , the Irish Landlord *!—he mi g ht have led to an angry and protracted debate . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , however , as there was a very large question before the House , namely—the expatriation , nay—the transportation of the Irish people , he could not allow that

    opportunity to sli p 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 , and to the effects likely to he produced by the proposedsystemofemigration . [ Hereamessenger from the Lords was announced , andthehon . memher for Notting ham was called upon to Bit down . ] . He continued to say that the hon . member for the county of Cork had truly described the objects of the advocates of emigration . . It was not to secure comfort for the

    emigrant in a foreign land , hut it was to transport Kim like a criminal from the land of his birth , where he was ' rendered surplus and useless hy the , tyranny of . his landlord . These humane gentlemen reminded him of the manner in which the kind-hearted owner of a faithful old dog disposed of him when he ceased to he useful . Unwilling to destroy him himself , he got a servant to lose him , that he might be destroyed-b y a stranger . And what the landlords now seek is , to lose their slaves , that they may perish in other lands . He had taken no note- * of the

    statistical details rehed upon b y the hon . member for the county of Limerick , but he ventured to say , that he " would quote theui accuratel y from memory . The hon , gentleman , in order to prove the excess of populationin Ireland , as compared with that of England , ; has told the House that the population of Lincolnshire—an agricultural county—amounts to onl y nine to one hundred acres , -whilethe 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 , apphcable _^ to agriculture in that province ; because : he applies the "division of the whole " population to- »'• very _HraitedfareViof agriculture . ' ; : ( Hear , -hear . ) The . next argument rehed upon . was , '„ . that whereas oyer six * hundred _s _thpuwnd ( persoiis were employed _^ manufactures in Belgium , — _lAx . Monseix . —Istated more . '" - '' " ' _- ' " _)* _¦ - •• ; - _?* ¦ he

    " _*********** _- " _*********•• - ¦ ¦ — — — _•*¦ thousand , hut he would take his 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 then respective sizes , than there is now in Ireland ; and how ,, he would ask , in the face of such facts , could tho hon . member propose the expatriation of the Irish people , rendered surplus by landlords' neglect of duty , while the land of their own country was loudly calling for their labour _? ( Hear , hear . ) But tlie lion , gentleman agreed with the hon . memher 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-r-nay , murders —which were daily taking place , in Ireland . [ At this point . of the 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 of the noble lord . " ] He would now call the attention of the House to the real

    grievance under which Ireland laboured , and 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 markwhatwas the real cause of Irish distress , dissatisfaction , and death . The Irish landed proprietors , as She- ; ridan truly described them , were " merry , poor devils . '' ( Hear , and laughter . ) According to custom , they managed their estates according to the science of patronage , and not according

    to the science of agriculture . If a man had a thousand a-year , op ten thousand _a-yeaVj he with the ten thousand a-year became the Bervile slave of thc Minister in this House , _barteiv ing his agricultural interest for political patronage . _Hewasan absentee , spending his moneyi here , while the domestic _Berf , with his thousand a-ypar , dispensed all local patronage . Hebecame tbe representative ofthe Lord in fee—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 and the 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 emp loyment . ( Hear , hear . ) He remembered , when discussing the Repeal of the Union iu 1834 , the then Chancellor of the Exchequer—now Lord Monteagle—attempted _, to base the prosperity of Ireland npon 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 hut proof of want of confidence in the Irish 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 , which was then of comparative insignificance , according to its value established hy protection . The mort gagees , 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 wholly lost sig ht of the fact , that it was the men with arms , whom he wanted to transport , thathad made that money for them . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . member for Roscommon had told the House in a previous debate , that the fanners who had emigrated , had taken ten millions of capital with them . And why ? Merely because they could not expend it with profit or security upon Irish property . Bnt let him remind the House , that in 1834 hc made a much more

    extensive and workable proposition than that now submitted b y tho hon . member for Limerick ( Mi * . J . O'Connell ); his proposition was to compel the Irish landlords to give leases for ever at a corn-rent , and then every available farthing , and the skill and industry of the country , -would be applied tothe cultivation of the soil . English manufacturers would then and _iheli'ish 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 be to Ireland and to England ; the Irishlahdlordsasyot had got but a taste of it , but the English laudlords had not even tasted it vet . 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 , tben this dire calamity mi ght have been averted ; but 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 description of property , as all land was subject to tithe ;

    and yet , as a sop to the 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 for fourteen , twenty-one , thirty-one , or even ninety-nine years , when it was in the 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 be ofthe 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 would not be a bit , . more ridiculous than . that the farmer should pay the same amount of rent each year during that period . Let : him now test the value of the ; princi ple of leases for ever at a corn rent , while at the same time he would satisf y the emigration gentlemen as to the cause of capital leaving the country . Suppose a fanner 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 whoje . of the eapital is applied to reproductive ' labour in the cultivation of the soil . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , ; but : then not an ablebodied labourer , minch . less farmers 5 ' with capital , need , emigrate . "Who can- hear or read the daily accounts of Irish misery without feeling his heart sick and his blood

    curdling ? Was there ever such an anomaly as a country with a fertile soil , a genial climate , and a hardy and industrious people becoming a perfect charnel house ? . The hon . member for the University of Oxford reminded the _House _^ _^ rather tauntingl y , that the Irish made the best . hoVlmen . True ; they did so ; 'but if . tiiey carried the hod to the copjag-8 tone ; of the gorgeous mansion—if Ireland had given them scavengers , wharfingers , and hodmen , she had _' also given , them their best soldiers _(^ -hich he regretted ); their ; best ; smlors . and . generals—their ; ahlest statesmen if they hadadorned their streetsythey _had-aWadorhed their , senate , their bar , their pulpit , and their stage . -They . had _, given ; _"ihehi all these . as well—— " : '\ .

    [A Pressure On Our Columns At The Late P...

    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 such a tribe— ( hear , hear )—for from Irish agitation may be traced all Ireland ' s woes-that ' agitation which pandered to the prejudices of the people , but never marshalled 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 . 0 _'Conaor ) , as is my custom , I have cleared the ministerial benches—( laughter)—as the members of the government wore sure to come in for their ¦

    share of the blame for the . present state of Ireland . [ Here Sir George Grey and the Chancellor of the Exchequer rushed from behind the S p eaker ' 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 Irish landlord in the House . ( Laughter . ) He saw the ri g ht hon . Secretary for Ireland opposite , and surel y he had never heard of an _L'ish landlord ejecting thirty tenants in one day ; and surely no Irish landlord in that House had ever cleared his estate of 1 , 400 miserable creatures . No wonder that the

    country was overpopulated under such management ; 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 _fought , religious liberty , hut 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 Eeform Bill , which conferred the right of 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 —this tenure-franchise died out , and now ministers were compelled to have recourse to a new enfranchisement bill , to _stfbstitute 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 goad landlords in Ireland , but they were the exception , not the rule . The hon . memher 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 tbe result 1 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 ill his power to the sale of the estate . But if he required further proof of the tinkering policy ofthe government , they would find it in

    the fact clearly put hefore them by the hon . member for Carlow ; that lion , 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 Incapacit y to deal "With the Irish " difficulty , " than tbe fact that they were afraid to administer national justice , least they should create a feud between mortgagor and mortgagee , while the people were d ying ? He would ask any member in that House , if it was

    not more than an absurdity , under such circumstances , to hope to relieve Irish distress by the transportation of the people ? One of thc maxims of Free 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 surplus reserve to enable manufacturers to cut down the wages of their hands , the hon . member for Manchester admitted that Ireland was

    n , ot half populated . ( Hear , hear . ) But if he required any proof of the necessity , and of the value of improving the land , 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 ycai * would be deficient in yield , and inferior in sample . The other was that . within twelve months they would lose Canada ,

    and however non . members may now sneer or laugh , he told them that within less than twelve months they would lose Ireland arid 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 ; arid had the Free Trader ' s lost sight 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 the present session every L'ish debate resolved itself into a conflict between

    commercial and landed interest in that House . The gorge of the commercial gentlemen rising atthe very mention of an income tax , and supporting the Rate in Aid upon no other pretext than to save their own purses , while the landlords were roused to madness at the idea of an additional tax of sixpence in the pound . Ho ( Mr . O'Connor ) had voted for the Rate in AidBillin its every stage , arid his only 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 , no ? " He asserted it , and unless : all other circumstances were now managed upon the same free principle , they would very speedily discover . their error . Let any honourable member , - who proposed the _tranapoftation of the Irish people , accompany him from any railway terminus in * England or in Ireland , arid show him twenty acres of land , lying together , cultivated to one-fifth part of its capability of hearing , and all . forthe want' of the application of . the industry of the country tothe better' cultivation of the soil of the country . ( Hear , hear ;) But the landlords were not the

    only " : tyrants—for , as the honourable meiriber for : West . Surrey told , them in his adihirahle speech , the greatest tyranny _agamst which labour had to : contend ,, was the power and influence of the capitalist . ( Hear , hear : ) Gentlemen were asked to - propose . a remed y for Irish grievances .. He had submitted riiauy to that House , arid ,, amongst others , he asked the government to make Irish resident landlords perform their duties by subjecting them to vigilant _eohtrbl

    popular , for to expect _justice from the motley system of . repve _^ _ntation _^ _a _- _; that House presented , was _iiriposaible . . Re & re the Easter recess , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) hak requested of the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer to g _^ etip Easter _Saturday to the Irish- gentlemen ' to _diseusB _, Irish ' affairs /; and to promise them that _government-wom give ' its . asserit ' to ariv _jUeasw-e they agreed _upV ( Hear , hear , and haughter . ) Well , - that ; : _b-ouM : hare : 4 ved much ; time , * W v < _m _% _^ eM to no

    conclusfon . ( Laughter . ) _^ Now let him dissect the composition of __ that Househere sat a party against the rate m aidthere sat a party ag ainst 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 peri Tl _' i I TTiiii let him

    formance 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 them cultivate their land hy the science of agriculture and not by the science of patronage , as itwas a scheme and a scandal ihat any class in L'eland should be living luxuriously or even comfortably while the mass of the people were d y ing 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 their 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 the numbers of agricultural labourers bore to the quantity of arable land , causing a congestion that could only he relieved by the outlet which a system of emigration would provide . Mr . Scully supported the amendment , and Mr , Burke the original motion . The House divided , when the ori g inal motion was carried hy 45 against 10 . " . ¦

    Prison Discipline . —Mr . C . Pearson then rose to introduce this subject , which , he said , was one of very great importance . It appeared that the prisons of this country cost ,, on an average , £ 400 , 000 a year , irrespectiye ofthe cost to the government for the punishment of crime by means of the . hulks and transportation . lie would undertake to prove that the criminal class of this countr > mi g ht he 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 he done by means of a reformatory character , without slave-labour—that the means of dieting and clothing the prisoners , and paying the expense of their prisons , could be obtained

    by means that were reformatory , without interfering with the just rights 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 in constant communication as well with prisoners as with those entrusted with the administration of prisons . He therefore stood there with some reputation on his head on this question ; and he affirmed , if the House would grant him a committee , that he undertook to prove the propositions he was then stating . His first proposition was , "he sought a uniform system , " Might he state to that House that the cost of our -orisons varied to an extent

    which in itself alone demanded correction ? He saw by the inspector ' s report 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 the 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 per prisoner . ' He would ask whether , in enunciating that fact alone , he had not _dono 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 tlie country , it would , require six millions of money to adapt our present prisons ,

    or eroct new prisons to receive the amount ot prison population that would be required for the purpose . Painful as was the necessity of bringing forward Statements affecting the present system of discipline—painful especially as it must bo to ' him to make these statements unaccompanied by the proofs , if a committee were nob granted to him—still it was absolutely necessary for him to lay them hefore the House 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 , that moment he would desist from proceeding any further . The enormous increase of crime of recent years was enough to startle any reflecting mind , ffe had examined the statistics , and would not throw the responsibility upon any writer * . he would be answerable himself for the

    accuracy of every figure he quoted . The number of commitments an ( i 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 b y the prison inspectors , and by committees of that House at various times , gave a result of even greater magnitude than that . The committals f or trial in England and Wales , in the year 1810 , were 5 , 146 ; and m the year 1846 they were 26 , 851 , being ah increase of 42 S percent . He did not pretend to say that crime had increased in that proportion in tliis country ; he believed the reverse was tho fact—ho believed the enormous

    increase of crime could be accounted for by circumstances totally irrespective of increasing criminality on the part of the 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 . ) lie was just informed that if he did not move for his committee at once , he should lose his house . ( Laughter . ) Not having had the privilege of frequently hearing his voice in the 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 gentlemen opposite , 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 1840 , 26 , 851 ; and the summary convictions in the same year were 60 , 992 * making a total of 92 , 843 . There was an important circumstance , to which was to be ascribed thc 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 , than were the class to wliich the great majority of them belonged out of prison . ( Hear , bear . ) They there enjoyed a greater degree of comfort than tbey could ever enjoy by honest industry . They also got a taste for luxurious indulgence , ' which it was impossible for them to gratify when thoy got out . ( llear _, 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 great evil on the rate-payers , many of whom were not themselves so well fed , clothed , and lodged . ( Hear , "hear . )' . , Ah Hon . Member here proposed that the nouse should be counted . The result showed that a sufficient number of members were present .

    Mr . Pearson resumed his speech by referring to the evils of idleness , which he conceived to be the great incentive to crime . Itwas true that itwas said that four-fifths of the crimes committed * ivcrc the result of intemperance j but admitting it to be so , was hot 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 crinw , it'inusfi be by an entire reversal or the principle on which they had hitherto acted . ( Hear , hear . ) The next circumstance tO , which he would call the attention ofthe House was , that ei ghty-one per cent , ofthe male criminal population were between the ages of sixty and _forty- _i fiye _, and therefore at that period of life when tbey should be engaged in supporting themselves and those dependent upon them , and fortyseven per . cent , were between the ages of twenty andtHirty-five . . It . might bo easily inferred from

    _nis observations , tnat tho foundation of liis _proposition would be tbat continuous labour should be the I means adopted for . punishing - the criminal , and making him support himself without being a burden upon the honest portion ofthe community . The _objection made to that . proposition was , that _thisiB airee country , and they couldnot endure slavery . The Scripture was founded a part ofthe laws ofthe country - and when was this declaration repealed "He who _stealeth shall be sold into bondage V * But without reference to Scripture at all , thev were mv S _? ' _" v _$ _>«?*¦* - ' « _vole from _i _pKr £ whole of his powers of ndustry . _ThereTw «« novelty in the proposition , because in ffi & SK } ¦ _JSffi _^' _fSJKl _^ . ' . he - ' -nhe salaries of _SeV but _5 ° _»? g _° . _^ / down to the lowest ¦ \ _riUfev , out of . the produce . of their labour ; ' And not oniy that , but b y their surplus labour they were abie _. to _^ _wrohase a suit of clothes for every prisoner _oniusdischarge , and ' putf five dollars , in-his pocket . Afiuai was also applied to the liquidation of the

    [A Pressure On Our Columns At The Late P...

    debt for orig inally building the prison , and also f the support of the Prison Discipline Society ir did not introduce this as a model for imitation W only adduced it as evidence to show that _tJiere _wia a power of calling forth from persons in prison th _« full amount of the labour of which they _woi-o cat ) , hie . He begged also to call attention to the system adopted in Belgium and France , but the mo 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 . Keither did he offer the Belg ian or French system as a model for imitation . One great portion of thoir industry was in tailoring , and making shoes and shirt * debt for _originalh'building tlie prison , and fm

    and articles of that kind , yet a large 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 sp inner spinner or weaver , what was to become of that man when he was thrown again on societ y ? ( Hear , hear . ) However , they did all these things in this country without deriving from them the benefit they ought to derive from them . After paving £ 470 , 000 a year , the expense of their gaols , instead of producing the amount that tho Belgian and American gaols produced , they only produced in this country about £ 40 , 000 a-year . That was produced in the Millbank , Pcntonville , and some other prisons . They adopted the American principle 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 by moving for a " select committee to inquire and report upon the practicability of establishing a uniformity of disci pline , punitive , reformatory , and self-supporting , to be applied to all persons sentenced to imprisonment for crime . " Sir G . Gket replied generally to the arguments of the hon . memher , 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 corifined _' to a comparison of the present with the former systems , but to the indefinite motion of the hon . gentleman hc could not consent .

    After some observations from Mr . Roundelz , Palmer in favour of the management of Beading gaol , .... .. Mr . BROMERro . _v suggested tho adjournment of the debate , on the ground of its importance , which motion was agreed to , and the House adjourned . WEDNESDAY May 15 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mr . Hawes laid upon the table of the House some papers respecting Canada . Mr . Roebuck took occasion to state the substance of private letters received from the province , which showed that there was no foundation for the supposition that tlie present excitement thero partook of the character of a war of races . The Indemnity Bill was a money bill , providing for the appropriation of local funds , and he thought tbat the Imperial Parliament should not interfere with the 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 the sub » ject , until the House had had an opportunity of thoroughly appreciating the whole question . Mr . Gi / _insTONE concurred with Mr . Ifawes , but protested against the inference which might he drawn from what fell from Mr . Roebuck , tbat the Imperial Parliament had no right to interfere -with the disposal of the colonial revenues . He admitted that it should not interfere on li ght grounds . Sir Cr . _Gieur did not regard such an inference a 9 deducible from what had fallen from the honour able and learned gentleman . He trusted , however _,, that discussion would be avoided until the Houso was in possession of the whole- case . The matter , after some observations from Mr . Newdeoate and Mr , E . Denisos , was dropped .

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