      SDQUIGUS TRIUMPH OF RADICALISM AT LIVERPOOL .

      < 3 BTnesdsvTevenmg last , the most numerousmeetii ^« f llie Radical party ever witnessed in this town , « asheldln the Queen ' s Theatre . The braiding is -x ^ pxble of containing from four thousand to fire ¦^ assand persons , and was crowded in every part , iaeesj'gaBery . pit , and stage , to snfibcation . The aiUs announced that Fearens O'Connor would attend 3 sadvocate UniversalSuifrage . At naif-past seven ** fock that gentleman entered , and was received ^ bS 5 h several rounds of the most hearty applause . "Sis Whigs had signified their attention 01 giving ^• position , and of moving counter resolutions , and asostered . strong for that purpose ; butihe Bpirit of s&a meeting taught them more wisdom , and in spite : 2 fee ! aselve 3 they behaved like gentlemen .

      -Mr . Muriuy , bookseller , was called to the chair . Ia .. qpemng the business , he said that Liverpool must ¦ SRsrfeel proud of such a demonstration : one not -agflrapated "b y themselves , and not expected by their ^ Bssoes , who had predicted a failure ; but the object " ^ -aeppeared was dear to those who were long suffer-^ a ? for want ef it , namely . Universal Suffrage . jQreat cheering . ) If he was rightly instructed , the ,-poMfleinformer dayshadmore comforts , because they riadiBoxeHberty than they now enjoy . Inthosedays i ^ fcs-znaxini was thai no man sheuM be taxed who ^ as not rep resented ; the term then had some mean-. ¦ ssg , for many were not taxed ; supplies were raised ~ 3 y- * nbiddies , and by twentieths , thirtieths , and for--aegis npon wealth , not upon poverty ;—{ hear , hear , )

      -aat Beir show him a man who was not taxed , and « beToald say he should he happy in losing his vote . * jCbeen « andlaughter . ) Let the keenest investigator < pcaEt out the veriest pauper who was not" taxed , aye -. *» . « rer-bearing . ( Hear , hear . ) Why ? Because -X 3 aes < £ . corrupt constituency had . monopolized the -3 «* ver « fsending a corrupt House of Commons to ^ sprasent us , the few thought of nothing but making j £ dangs out of the many who had no power , without 4 he suffrage of resisting . The laws , he" contended , ¦« ere not sanctioned by . the people . Would the Com SLass exist if the people had a voice ? ( No , no . ) ^• esld the people nothave demanded a betterreturn "ir their twenty millions , than an increased tax -apon . £ ugariftheyhada voice ? ( cheers ) and aUthis

      isaopey . went to ennch the flesh merchants abroad , « 3 ale-the talkers at home who aided in the measure ^ s ze daily complaining of the present position of the - aaeafor whose liberty they paid , or rather made the jassjjle pay . ( Hear , hear . ) This ' meeting , continued - Jfe-, 5 IiHxaT , iia * beengotiip by working men ; its -objects will be best explained by the several resoln-~ Sfk * s which will be proposed , andhe then called upon ^ Mr . Robinson to move the first resolution , and sat ^ ossioudly cheered . ' incising to move the resolution , Mr . Robixsox aid , irhaL . his observations should be few , as many Ssadxnt to follow him . What said he , would either -lie feingsv of the Tories , or both combined , give for ¦ stckarrvietiBg as the present , and whatisihe reason •^ attthey doirt require it ? Because they already ^ a&asess the benefits which we anticipate , and hope

      stiis toobtatn . ( cheers . ) n hey can us ignorant , .-stii j * tfor want of our judgment and action , they < ieoome laughing stocks . ( Laughter . ) They exx 2 * uJe-ns from the representation , and they quarrel - « ii their own selections , for surely if we * had the -Selfra ^ e we could not select as bad men , and as 3 S 2 » j of them as the present constituencies have cSMtst-n as our representatives . This was a glorious j &canoiistratioa , such as the oldest men . in Liverpool sjsverwitnrssedonbfhalf of Radicalism , and let it ¦ xtx . l * f lo > t , it was the doing of a few responded to by feemaoy , and would , he trusted , be equally beneficial --1 * sdl , - by placing within the reach of every man his teshim ! and constitutional -weapon of self defence , iaaudv , Universal Suffrage . ( Great cheering . ) He -ssoeM conclude by moving the resolution . ( Cheers . ) Sir- Calkey rose to second the . resolution . He ¦

      rsia the resolution spoke for itself , his friend Mr . SiubiBsonhad said all that was required , buthtmnst sa » den the meeting against an idea , that a simple « £ port of resolutions without a stro g determina-• 5 aa tb"tol ! ow them up wifh zeal would effect their | sarj » o « se . ( Hear , hear . ) The many who yet remained tsa ^ gMiak forbade him to take up their time , and , ^ kecefore , he would conclude by seconding the reso-Seiany and giving it his most hearty and strenuous -jspport , here and elsewhere . ( Cheers . ) Jttr . G&egg rose to move the second resolution . Xo wonder , said he , that our long and constantly ^ jwreasing accumulation of grievances should pro-- ^ Aace such a manifestation . The resolution states ^ al ,-constituted as the present House of Commons

      jis , we can expect no redress ; our object , therefore , ¦ should be to remove the obstacle to the possession of * ht rights , by removing- the ntrisarice altogether , and ¦^ Scat ca n onl j be accomplished by UniveisalSuffrage . ( Cheers . ) Under this House of Commons the peo-^ Je are worse off than the oldest man recollects sisem —( hear , hear , )—and the people themselves ~ frfm ° h the sufferers have been in part the means of the misery . The activity of their enemies is not more tieadhr than their own apathy ; ( cheer * , and ttr ) but this night as it had roused them , so should aCrouse him and spur him on to further action . He concluded a very animated address in the words of Pier to Jaffier , when complaining of his own villanv , ifjr having so long allowed so much evil to exist while he was heedless and apathetic .

      - ' . Xllwiobear this are villains , and I one . " ( Cheers . ) JVfr . Moloy said that the manner in which the j -Siirs of the nation had been bungled by our rulers , -demanded a trial upon the part of fihe Radicals . ^ Fhere there was so much corruption , there could ' be no censiiitency . What the great minister of swraSty did , the minister of State undid . God had -scd that those whom he ~ joined together , no man &euld put asunder ; " but the minister of State , £ sding that God ' s wise dispensation did not suit the ~ ipws of his Government , passed a law in opposition -taereto ; and under it , separated man from wife , and ddldren from both . ( " Shame , shame . " ) The Con-• stsmtion of the" country guaranteed rights , but the tiisirchv of the country abrogated thuse riehts . b »?

      --aase they well knew that a just principle of reprea-aiation was incompatible with the dominion and ^ Mrer ^ Aey had acquired . ( Hear , hear . ) But this * jfrtt the people had flocked to their own standard , raid would fight under the true banner till right had ¦ SMUiphed OTer might . ( Cheers . ) He concluded by -seconding the resolution . - Mr . Feabgus D'Coxsob presented himself to sup-5 « rt the resolution , and was received » with loud and 'Sthnsiastic applause , which lasted for several ro 5 aates . He said , as discussion is the very main -iwisg of agitation , let us first understand eaci other . Ibere appears to be , in yonder corner of the gallerv , * ae speck of " small pox , " that has made several attempts to create disturbance . ( Cheersand " We'll

      , nestle the Tory . " ) Let thepustula come down here , - ¦ asset me upon the platform , and he will " find that " os disease is not contagious —( cheers ;)—for be he 21 i % or be he Tory , I cnallenge him to join in the itbate : indeed , I challenge all , and let those who jtasame toe ^ prerogative of power come and instruct ¦ us wherein is the exclusive right . ( H ^ ar , hear . ) We -rejoet ( said Mr . O'Connor ) to discuss the only ^ iriirciplo worth contending for , namely , Universal ^ effi-age . ( Cheers . ) But , lest Sir Robert Peel and tK admirers should persevere in calling us Destrnc-. i * 2 f , let us consider what we ask for , and see how iar our principles were formerly recognised by the ^ Constitution . How , Universal Suffrage was the law -Jf the land till the 7 th of Henry VL ; Annual

      Parsxsaents never was the law : it was , under Universal Safirage , too extensive an hiring of servants , we had Sessional Parliaments . ( Cheers . ^ We had equal T «^ resentation before manufactures sprung up for « Le . counties , according to their respective < limen-« ions , returned a greater or a lesser number of representatives . ( Cheers . ) But when the people became ^¦ eat , and the Monarch strong , some rookeries , and xull-stones , and Id castles were enfranchised , in -order to give the Court the ascendancy . ( Cheers . ) This could not hare been accomplished if the waeft . « £ < he Member ( bis honourable remnneration for jrablic service ) had not been taken away ; that is , * Ae Members were once paid , and when the > ystem Tra * abolished , places were created for the slaves of

      the Court , and men voted under the influence of cor-Tiption rather than the inspection of popular con-^ ftniL ( Cheers . ) There was no property quah ' n ' ca-¦ aontor Members of Parliament ; the only qualifica-¦ San was the confidence of the people . ( Cheers . ) >« r , indeed , is there now such a thing in Scotland , -aafl «» econstituencie 8 there do not elect a rabble , : as the Tone * predict would be the consequence ^ Cheers . ) Then ( said Mr . O'C onnor ) I bave % hown toi that Universal Suffrage , Sessional Parliaments , iqual Representation , no Property Qoalificatisn , « j d the Payment of Members , ^ a / forinerty a part « hi parcel of the Constitution . Then vourancestors aay be said to be in a state of greater dependency ibao jou are ; but they _ had more real lifeert ? ani comior nt

      aw « * . auu . enjoyme . ( Cheers . ^ M ^ r O'Connor then explained how succe&dv e inroads had jgernnane upon the Constitution . After the Deonle iad test the right of Toting , he saia that the first act -ef that ParEament , which abrogated Sessional Par-: Sainen fe , was to give to the jroclaiiiatioii of the King a power equal toStatnte . Iinrj . He fully fixpliined 3 he cause of the Rpfnrmwrtnn and theconaeqoence : ce « md that had it not been for the inconsistency ^ -eroelty , lust , and Tfflanj . pf theiloody Harry , that xQ . who then heard him would now be Catholics ¦ flmmease cheering . ) Such , then , ( said he ) is the - &ese of the Law Church , for tbi a » oeiidancy of which ik WMg 8 in seetabnK and tiie Tones in a coup , so ^ KrtinacioQslT contend : such , is &a gronnd-work of

      i&t agitation of the great Liverpool apti-chnsnan . -demifogne v l ^ , ^ 'Neal-- ( great cbeaing )~ who 8 e rnasaian Jk derived from his party , and . not from on wgb . Soch is & $ stock and trade of this Rev . 4 ientleman , -who would sefid every Papist _ of you to £ & , -without redemption . ( Cheers . ) Well , ( said Me . O'Connor ) haTinglost all controul over tieiaws . * £ j ^» ur country , can you look otherwise ( has . with jbKTor soon your criminal , civil , and municipal < e » £ e and institutions ; they are not made by ^ ea , and consequently not made for you . The ^ criminal code is to protect the right of the

      Untitled Article

      great , and to suppress the natural rights of man , the black letter far the poor , the mild spirit for the rich . ( Cheers . ) With the civil code , yon hare little or nothing to do . except in quest of justice , to spend your last farthing ; and then to be toldj that a little more would successfully terminate the suit . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) And as to your share of municipal institutions , let us examine what they are , and how divided . For the great , there are custom houses , town ' s halls , post-officea , commercial buildings , quays , piers , news-rooms , and the like ; and for the poor , there are court-houses , bridewells , gaols , lock-ups , and bastiles . ( Immense cheers . ) Think you , then , that all built with your money would be thus unequally divided , if all had an equal share in making the laws ? ( No , no . ) No ; but in Liverpool you suppose yourselves surrounded by a

      strong dam and an impenetrable barrier ; you imagine that , because the steel of the cold-blooded capitalist haB not yet entered your souls directly , that you will be for * ever exempt . No such thing . Poverty , Eke the water , will fimd its level ; and as the capitalist makes havoc in the labour market at Manchester , the discord will visit you by the railroad , and soon equalize your wages to the general standard which the monopoly of wealth under the protection of law , has established . ( Cheers . ) You thought you were safe from Irish poverty ; but thank God , yonr former apathy towards that country is now recoiling upon yourselves . ( Cheers . ) Your Chairman said something about justice : and I have heard much of justice to Ireland . Mark

      what trafiic has done . Formerly , a Kerry man knew not the value of his pony j but the great demand for the animal in your rising country , soon created a competition that instructed the Kerry man ; and now it is the dearest part of the kingdom for the the thing required . So with your market . By a quick and continuous intercourse , you have raised all the articles of consumption in the Irish market , while wages still remain at the starvation point . ( Great cheering , and " Tiafs true . " ) But what is the consequence ? Why ,-that the Irish , as Mr Cobbett said , very properly bring their naked legs and hungry bellies here in quest of their own goods , and pigs , which they . make and feed , but cannot weaT and eat at home . ( Hear , "hear . ) Thus you have

      given an inntanon to men to visit you ; and when they come , you find that they are able to work as well as you , and aie worthy of as much wages too . ( Hear , hear . ) Within these ten years , England and Ireland have gained two great victories without any benefit . The Irish fought _ for , bled for , and gained emancipation : they have it , but as there are many here who have since fled from the cruel driver of the middle-man , from the proctor of the church parson , from the quarter session ' s benefit , from the summons server of the petty sessions , from the perjury of the orange yeomen , and from the dread of an orange jury —( great and continued cheering)—if , then , they have , where are the fruits of emancipation ? ( Cheers . ) My opinion of the meaning of

      justice to Ireland is this : —Firstly , a total release from the law church , by the complete uprooting of tithes . ( Cheers . ) Next , a wholesome provision in the land of his birth for every ma * i who is willing to work , but cannot procure it ; and a comfortable maintenance for those who are willing , but not able to work . ( Great cheering . ) Then , Sir , the Irish would not accept your invitation ; they would leave you . From all parts of Europe they would fly to the land of their birth , toil for a subsistence , and die happy , under the certainty of their remains being mingled with those of their families and friends . ( Great cheer ing . ) 1 shall now explain why the English have been foullv designated Tory Radicals in all that concerns Ireland . We properly attacked the Government in power , the Whigs ' hear

      ( , hear ;) that Government who condemned Ireland upon the authority of Stanley ' s red box , and the saying of a rural police ; Spring Rice , who wished thai the name of Ireland was blotted from the map , and that of We $ t Britain substituted . ( Groans . ) We attacked those whose first Reformed Act was to submit the poor , the virtuous , the proud , naked Irish woman , in the still hour of night , to the foul inspection of a ruffian pcliceman . ( Great excitement and cheers . ) We attacked those whose first act bespoke their views , but when the tramping Tories visited our quarters , with the son of Winchelsea at their head then , when Tones dared to take the field , we crushed their resuscitated hope , and sent them to whence they came , with the knowledge of the fact , that if we hated the Whigs we also hated the Tories . ( Continued cheering . ) Now , said Mr . O'Connor , I will point out wherein the difference lies between the Government of the

      two countrie s . . I do hope that the rising spirit of liberty would be sufficiently strong to check and conrroul the worst intentions of even a Tory Government—was that par y rash enough to undertake the task , with an empty Exchequer , to begin upon . ( Cheers . ) But then in Ireland , the moment the Tories get into power , from the highest authority to the village tyrant , places ) himself above the law and the constitution : be raises himself erect , and tramples upon all who refuse obedience to his will . No statute bnt the ascendancy of Orangeism and the Law-Church guides himin his lawless career , and an attempt being made to banish his power from the land , it rallies even in the Jury Box ; determined to uphold lUsanthoriry as long as a foot of resting ground remains . ( Repeated cheers . ) But , said he , are the Irish to be for ever thus gulled by a shadow , while our emancipated factions are fighting for the substance _? ( Hear , hear . ) Are we in terror of

      Tunrestoration to power , to hug Whig chain * and damnation ? ( Cheers aud no !) No . I ivjoice to hear it , and from Irishmen . Let them be assured that whosoever fights for Universal Suffrage , fights the whole _ battle ; whereas , he who fights now for a modification of Tithe and for a Corporation Bill , a Rail-road Bill , and a Bank-Stock Bill , and all the other absurdities , fights the battle of the enemy , which place those fly-traps before them for the mere purpose of catching the unwary . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then paid the men of Birmingham , and Messrs . Attwood aud Sonlt , a well-merited compliment , and roused the meeting by a flow of eloquent denunciation against all parties who uphold power by might . He entered into the several topics which interest the Radical party . Church and State , the

      Corn Laws , Factory Laws , Lord Brougham's recommendation of the Poor Law Amendment Act , together with the several violences done to liberty by the present Government , were all ably exposed by Mr . O'Connor , who , after a speech of nearly two hours , that seemed to rouse every sonl into action , and which was leudly cheered " all through , sal down amidst cheering and clapping of hands which lasted several minutes . The third Resolution was then proposed , and seconded , and spoken ably to by Mr . Thomas Smith ; when a vote of thanks whs given to Mr . O'Connor and the Chairman , and the meeting separated , more than delighted with the proceedings of the evening . Thus ended a meeting of which pen can give but a poor description , and which gave delight to every genuine Radical in Liverpool .

      Mr . G . PALMER gaTenotice that on an early day he should move lor copies of certain letters and orders issued by the Poor Law Commissioners . Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the House at its rising do adjourn until Monday next . — Agreed to . Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed the Committee on the Controverted Elections-Bill for a fortnight . The Noble Lord said he did not wish tosee the Bill drop altogether , but he wa « anxious to see and examine the Bill on the same subject which the Right Hon . Member for Tamworth obtained leave to bnng in the other evening . S

      Sir J . GRAHAM said he felt anxious before the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward the Budget , to call the attention of the Government to t ue subject of advances of money towards the building of Union workhouses ; He understood that in some cases the Government had refused to niake any advance . He did not wish for any answer on the subject at the present moment , but as it was one of considerable importance , he thought it right to call the attention of Government to it . The House then went into Committee on the Benefices Pluralities' Bill .

      Clauses 45 , 4 t > , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , were agreed to , with amendments . Clause 53 was agreed to . Clause 54 was struck out of the Bill , at the suggestion of Lord Stanley .

N 1 CHOLL said he thought that it was necessary in Welsh parishes , where the incumbent had not a knowledge of the Welsh language , that the Bishop should have the power of appointing a curate conversaut with that language .

Goulburn , and Lord Stanley , the clause , with some verbal amendments , was agreed to .

RUSSELL said that the Right Hon . Gentleman had omitted to ^ otice thejprevieus part of the clause , which empowered the Bis hop to decide whether two sermons should be preached in the parish or not . After a short conversation the amendment was withdrawn , and the clause was agreed to .

      The remaining clauses were agreed to , some of them being amended . The postponed clauses were then taken . Clauses 19 , 20 , and 21 , were adopted with verbal alterations . On clause 22 being proposed , Mr . COURTENAY said that it appeared to clash with another clause of the Act of 57 th Geo . III ., ch . 79 , which prohibited clergymen from entering into any trade or other calling , and which rendered any commercial bargains or transactions , in which they might be engaged , null and void . The Hon . G entlemen stated several cases in which considerable

Somerset , took the oaths and his seat for Woodstock . Sir W . HEATHCOTE , as chairman of the Gloucester Election Committee , reported that Mr . Hope , the sitting Membery hiui been duly elected ; and that the petition , and opposition " -to . it , against the return , were neither frivolous nor vexatious . r ^ Mr . WRIGHTSONy chairman of the Norwich Electaon Committee , reported that the ; Marquis of Douro was duly elected ; thatthe Hon . R . e . Scarlett was not duly elected : that Beniamin Smith ..-Eari-. l-

      was duly elected , and ought to have been returned . The Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend and amend the return , by substituting the same of Mr . Smith for Mr . Scarlett . , 1 DIVETT presented a petition complaining of the undue return of the Marquis of Blandford for the borough of Woodstockj which was ordered to be taken into consideration on a future day . The Boltoh and Preston Railway Bill was reported . ' . " , ¦? . ... ¦' " ' . ¦¦' -. The Ramsgate improvement Bill was read a second , tiniej , and ordered .-to be committed .: Several private Bills were advanced a stage . A great number of petitions , on various subjects were presented .

      On the aiotion of Mr . STANL EY , a new writ was ordered for the City of Gloucester in the room of Mr . Hope , who has accepted the ChUtern Hundreds . .. '• ¦¦ . ;; r . Lord J . RUSSELL moved the orderof the day for going into committeeoh the Tithes ( Ireland ) Bill . The notice , however , which had been jjiven would prevent that subject being at once proceeded with . The Ri ght Hon . Bart ., the Member for North Devon , instigated no doubt , by his diocesan ( hear , hear , from both sides of the House ) , had given nptice of a motion in which the Houae must take a division . ( Hear . ) : Before that division took place , however , he . ( Lord J / iRnssell ) wished to state . the general nature of the resolutions he intended to move , if the House went into committee . ( Hear . )

      The Church of Ireland was placed in a pecuhar situation . The Noble Lord then read extracts from the works of Bishop Warbnrton on the connection of Church and State . He thought thatthe measure lie was anxious to introduce would afford to the Church of Ireland complete safety . It differed materially from former acts and resolutions . The first part of the measure had been frequently before the House , and not opposed—it was to chauge tithes into a rent charge , with certain deductions—he believed there was no objection to that proposition . The next resolution provided that at the expiration of existing interests , the rent-charge should be turned into a funded capital , or such other security as the Church Cornmissioners thought fit . He knew that on this proposition a variety of opinions were

      entertained , aud therefore he wished to remind the House of the opiMipns which had been expressed ou forlher occasioiii . He did riot wish to interfere with existing iuteretits , but as the clergy in Ireland receive the amount of tithes in composition , angry feelings would coutiuue , and therefore he proposed that the State shtyuld be bound to pay 70 per cent , on the preseiit estimated value of livings . Above all things it was df sirable to have this important question settled . The people of Ireland had , by some nS ' eansf or other , imbibed the notion 1 that it was their duty to resist the payment of tithes ^ and set the authority of the law at defiance . His plan proposed a remedy ior that grievance . He then moved that the Speaker do U'uve the chair , in order that the House inight go into couiinittee on the subject ol tithes in Ireland .

      Sit r . ACLAND immediately rose and moved that the Clerk should read from the journals of the House the resolution of 1835 , which it was his intention to move U > have rescinded . The Clerk then read the following resolution : — " That this House do resolve itself into a Coinlnittie , in order jo coiiHider the present state of the Church Estabb ' shmentiu Irelaud , with " a view of applying any surplus or its revenues not required for the spiritual care of its members to the general education of all classes of the people , without distincdori

      of religious persuasion . " Sir T . ACLAND then alluded to the fact that the appropnatiuu principle hud betyi affirmed threeyears ago ; that at the daine time it had been affirmed that the safety of Ireland depended on it—yet inothiug had since been done to carry itinto practical operation . In couclusion , the Hon . Baronet expressed his hope that there would be no more bitterness in the debate than had been contained in the speech of the Noble Lord who bfgaii it . He then moved that the resolutions of April s 18 ^ 5 , he rescinded . Sir EARDLEVWILMOT seconded the motion .

      Sir CHARLES LEMON was very complimentary to Lord John Russell ; he had always been opposed to the appropriation clmi « e , but he objected now to revive the question , because he considered this favourite fancy of the Noble Lord ' s to have become ( in only three year :- ) a mere dead letter . / Mr . iCOLQUHOUN showed , from speeches and letters of Mr . O'Conuel ) , that the real question was not the approprintion only , but the extinction of tithes */ He thought the ori ginal resolution the first of a series of attacks on the property of the Church , and he would therefore , oppose it . Lord LEV ESON considered that , by the amendment , the existence of the present Ministry was endangered . Colonel CONOLLY looked on the resolution of 1835 as the origin of the " compact alliance , " and would therefore vote for rescinding it , as a means of putting a stop to agitation in Ireland . Mr . SLA ^ s EY declined to give an opinion on the

      appropriation clause , but would vote against the repeal 01 it , because he thought the motion intended to displace Ministers . Mr . MILNES- strenuously supported Sir T . D . Acland ' s ahiendment Sir W . SOMERVILLE , after dwelling upon the evils of the existing tithe system in ireland , declared that the people of Ireland would not submit to a longer delay of ase tlemeut of the tithe question , and decmred that , if the ameuidment should be carried , he would support a repeal of the Union . Mr . LEFROY reminded the House that the appropriation clause had been proposed in entire ignorance , on the part of the mover , of even the amount of tithein Ireland . Mr . FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said something about Richard II ., Henry IV ., Lord Bacon , and Bishop Watson ; but the noise in the House rendered it impossible to ascertain what .

      Lord STANLEY aud Lord MORPETH followed ; after which , an adjournment of the debate till the next day was moved and : agreed to . On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL , the Church Leases Committee was nominated . In reply to Col . SiBTHbRPi the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEH said , that on Friday next he really meant to bring forward the Budget . At half-past twelve o ' clock the House adjourned .

      Tuesday , May 15 . The adjourned debate in the House of Commons on the Irish titbtj question vyas . opened by Mr . Littleton , who was supported by Mr . Lascelles , Mr . Young , and Lord Sandon , and opposed by Mr . Redingtpn , Mr . Bennett and Mr . Towuiey . Mr . WARD , of Sheffield , found fault with Miniaters for abandoning the appropriation . He thought they would have done better in adhering to a great principle than , in frittering it away . Upon principle he thought that the : Catholic religion , being that of the majority , was entitled to be the established one . . ' ¦ . . : . ; ; . . .: : Lord TEIGNMOUTH and Mr . SHAW followed on the Tory side ; the latter . Gentleman very warmly defending the Diike of Wellington against some imputation thrown put b y Lord John on .. the preceding evening . If Lord John meant tostatethat the puke had practised any kiud of deception , therewaB not a man in Englandi in Europe , in the civilized ¦

      world , who Vwildrelieve him . -. *¦ . Mr . D'CQNNBLL then made his usual speech . We had the miagovernment of seven centoriea : the Scotch , on the mountain side , compelling , with their broad-swords , the establishment of the religion of the majority ; the Irish Corporation Billj andthe general topics of justice to Lrel&nd . His manner was so displeasing to the Tories , while inveighing against "the faction by whom Ireland haa too long been governed , " aa to excite a cry of disapprobation , amounting to ah' interruption . This he denominated a aenwless yell . " . But Ireland /' , he said , " will hear it on her hundred hills . You . may want us again : but for us , where would you haye beeu at Waterloo ? I think not ' of your commander ; tthiak at your brave inen . " As to the good ihtentiona of Sir T . Acland , he { . otviUy . denied them . At all events , there was a proverV alluding to a very hot place , said to be jpavedvrita good intentions . Sir K . ¦*

      Wilmot s course pleasea him no pctter . . .. tleaven preserve us , '' ejaculated " the Learned Member , " from these English Baronets ! " The property of the church , added he , waa given orginall y for masses and . other uses which you call superstitious . The doctrine you ; thought bad , but the money good . Your Protestant geutry have great compassion for West Indian slaves—hone for their Irish countrymen ; I wish they were negroes , then they would hare an advocate . Tp rescind the appropriation clause would he an insult . , to them . You offei'them : a capitulation ; but youprescribe-it as a condition that they shall walk under the yoker-a condition which is not to be accepted or . endured . In the course of his speech the Learned Member more than once repeated that the question to be settled -Was how . Ireland should be governed . Sir R . PEEL desired no ampler justification than the speech of Mr . O'ConneU . If to Tescind these resolutions explicitly be

      an earnest of severity towards Ireland , what must be inferred from the tacit abandonment of them , as proposed by Ministers ? If the appropriation of church property to secular : purposes be necessary to anyfinal arrangement whatever , how could Mr . G'Connell sanction an arrangement not involving it ? Or didMr . O'Cphnell cpnsiderit involved in these resolutions ? Was the House , pa this point , to credit him or the Ministers ? The Learned Member , in his pleading for peace , never forgot to talk of the Scotch way of working out a religious establishment with the broad-sword . Oh ! out no such extremity waa proposed for Ireland , because the Irish . Catholics repudiated the notion of touching the property . And yet , since these resolutions wete published , the Learned Member had addressed the Irish people , recommending that the Roman Catholic

      priests shouia pe enaowea wita tne rrotestanta ; glebe—not with the tithe j tithe mi g ht be a precarious provision , but Iand : wa 8 » atahle one . Sir Robert . then . reviewed the history pf the appropriation resolutions . ' ,: '¦ ¦ ¦' . Oh coming into eflice at the ^^ enJ of , 1834 ae \ v \ & taken up tbe Tithe BiU olbispredecessors . He had been encountered by these resolutions , and had warned his opponents that their triumph would be shorty —that is , as to the principle affirmed , not as to the tenure of office—for it was very possib'e to hold office with little triamph . On these resolutions he had quitted the Governmeat in 1833 . Iu the « ame year , ott the bQl of these Ministers , Lord Stanley had proposed a separation of the tithe enactments from the appropriation c \ au » e 8 , and the answK of the Chancellor of the Exchequer then , was , that it would hare been better candidl y topropoiethere » cinw » 8 of the resglutwrw- ' -tb . e Yerycour «

      now pursued . In 1 ?«» another Tithe Bill passed the House of Commons , ; and wai seat back' from' the Lords amended , by thfi pmissioi ) of the appropriation clauses ; but Ministers refused to consider the amendments at all with that omission . To omit the clauses , they argued , would !» torecaut the principle . As to 1 KI 7 , Ministers now said that the declarations ot the Conservatives in that year had deceired them .. He denied it in terras as peremptory as would consist with courtesy andParliainentary usage ; ' When Lord John intimated that Ministers would not be restrained b y false pride from doing what they thought best , he ( Sir Robert ) had said , that ' . he would not taunt them . . . for having turned him out upon this point , if they would consent to abandon a clause which caused 8 omuch of bitterness in Ireland ; the more , because it was neither executed nor repealed . He must say now , as he al ways had said , that he would not consent to a settlement on the basis of appropriation ; and he had never led Ministers to think otherwise . In . this very session , when Lord John-

      inquired what course would be . taken by the Conservatives on the Irish Corporatiott Bill , he ( Sir Robert ) had againteferred to the appropriation resolutions , and had declared he" was willing to settle the other Irish questions , bat must insist on security for the church . He had heard with deep regret the bitter tone of Lord John ; ' especially the sneer at the clergy . After all their sufferings and privations , it vras too ^ nnch for a Minister to say , that because- the sum which they- expressed their readiness to forego for the peace of Ireland was- only 15 per cent ., instead of 30 , therefore 15 ^^ percent . was : the precise and outside valne which they put won their country's- peace . It would have been difficult , no doubt , for Ministers to agree te a solemn vote of abrogation , which must materially lower them ; but they might at least have said they would practically abandon the appropriation , and do their best to make the settlement final . Very opposite to thin , however ; had been the ton ? pf Lord John Russell ' s speech and the form of the resolutions ; as to which resolutions indeed , even after the speech , the House had been left as completely in the dark as-ever . It

      was not till the clone of Monday eyeniug that the House tpuld collect whether appropriation were included in them or not . Was it npt fit that when this principle had been used as fan instrument for heaving a government from its base , the House should at least understand whether this princi ple wais now intended to be applied ? A letter had been publishedI by Mr . O'ConneU , intimating that the arrangement now proposed involved the principle of appropriation , bnt that this arrangement was not likely to beafinalone . After protesting jigainst the purchase of a short respite for the cHnrch by the sacrifice of jf 50 , 000 , or ^ ' 60 , 000 of her revenue , which would only let in a principle for absorbing in like manner all the rest of her income , Sir R . Peel observed , that the cnurch now rests upon hrm grounds—on the Act of Union , which was an express guarantee to her , and the Catholic Relief Bill , which was an implied one . On thesa grounds he would defend her . He was willing to grant tunds for the education of the Catholics , but not at the exclusive expense of the Protestant church . . . : ¦ ¦ : ; ,

      Mr . RICE denied that the resolutions in 1835 had been got up to turn out Sir Robert Peel ; But he would not rescind them , because that would involve the degradation of Ministers , and would be in opposition to his own opinions . He charged the Conservatives' with having lost their tempers and deprived him . ofthe hope , whicu he had entertained some little time before , of bringing the tithe question to an amicable termination ; but , in his opinion , they had showa themselves only Conservatives of riot , eanfusion , and disorder .
