COTTER WILLIAMSON, of Passage. The extreme severity of the last Spring, obliged the visitors lo continue their regular supplies to the utmostextent of their funds, unlil they were totally exhausted. A meeting of the Subscribers was then publicly called, and appeals made to public benevolence, but the Donations which were responsively sent in to the Treasurer are now being exhausted likewise ; many humane individuals also by the resolutions of that meeting, paid their next year's Subscriptions in advance, but these are not all yet gathered in. The receipt of the Sermon will therefore form the principal fund for the entire of the ensuing year until November. Tbe Governors sincerely trust their fellow- citizens will remember this, and not only afford a large collection now, adequate in some degree to the pressing wants of the indigent and deserving Room keepers on the lists, but will add their names as Annual Contri butors to the steadv and regular support of a Society so valuable to the Poor, as tbe " Cork Indigent Room- keepeis' Society."..

The object of the Proprietor being to establish an extensive trade, he will dispose of his splendid stock at an exceedingly small profit, much uader what a house of less extent can possibly do ; the Pubiic will therefore derive the advantage of purchasing a single yard of any article in this Concern atthe same price a pieceean be obtained from any Wholesale House in Ireland.

He was aware, however, that in doing so there would be some informality, as the more regular course would be to give notice of the subject to be brought under tbo consideration of the house. He was quite ready at this moment to enter into the question ; but the consideration of the informality of doing so induced him to submit to the judgment of the house, whether he should do so or whether he should take the usual course of giving notice that he would do so on an early dsy. If it should be the opinion of the bouse that he should not enter i i t o Ihe subject at present, he should beg to give notice that on Thursday nnxt he would move an address to her Majesty on the affairs of Canada. Lord BROUGHAM said, that having been one of her Majesty's Ministers at tbe time the measures wore passed in this country, which had given rise to the unfortunate circumstances which had tak° n place in Canada, he would not hesitatG to express his opinion very decidedly to his noble friend, that the most convenient course for him to take would be to give notice of his intention to bring the subject forward, and then to call on the house to j agree to any measure he might deem it necessary to propose at , the earliest possible opportunity. Tbis would be the fairest way I of proceeding both towards her Majesty's Ministers and to al'l parties concerned. Lord MELBOURNE wished to explain the reason why he was rather dispesed to have adopted a different course. His Noble Friend in the other house have given distinct notice that, on tbis e attention of the bouse to this subject. He ( Lord Melbourne) bad said it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to call the attention of their Lordship's to the subject, but he had not given notice that this subject should be moved to day. nor moved that their Lordships should be summoned. He, therefore, did not feel that it would be quite regular to enter upon the subject at present, but again he had not. thought it convenient, nnd scarcely fairto tbeir Lordships that a statement should be made in the other house on this subject to day, and no statement made in their Lordships" house on it. It was thus, out of respect to their Lordships, that he had suggested to bis Noble Friend the propriety of making a general statement to of the course intended to be pursued. He. however, felt that the course now proposed was the most proper and] convenient, therefore, he should wish his noble friend to give his notice of motion' for Thursday next. * 1 Lord BROUGHAM explained that he bv no means intended to censure the course which had been taken'by the government The Duke of WELLINGTON said he should like to know what was the nature of the proceedings which would be recommended by the government at the next meeting of that house. ( Hear ) He had a very strong opinion on this subject. It was his opinion that to propose an Address from this and the other House of Parliament in the first instance, was no', the regular course. He thought that, hostilities having already been commenced, tho origin of the proceedings in Parliament ought to be a Message from ber Majesty, and in answer to that message, an address from that and tbe other house, might properly be recommended. My Lords, ( continued tbe Noble Duke), I am the more anxious upon this point, because I consider that m order to put a speedy termination of the present unhappy disputes in Canada, her Majesty's Ministers should speak out; tbat parliament, and the country ought to understand on wbat ground her Majesty's Government intend to stand On this question ; and tbe sooner tbat is clearly understood tho better, and the more speedv will be tbe termination of these unfortunate discussions. I have no doubt my Lords, that ere long the Government will be under the necessity of calling upon Parliament to support her Majesty in these trsnsaetions— and I hope they will call upon Parliament to do so in such a manner,, as that Parliament will be enabled to pledge themselves so to support her Majesty, aud that preparations will be made for bringing these disputes to an end, as soon as the season opens. My Lords if this should be the case, I shall be ready to give my support to ber . Majesty's Ministers on this question, and to persuade others to follow sucb a course.. My Lords, 1 entreat her Majesty's Ministers not to forget that a great country like tbis can have no such thing as a little war , tbat if they do enter upon these operations, tbey must do it upon such a scale, and in such a manner, and such a determination as to the final object, as to make it quite certain that these operations will succeed, and at the earliest possible period. The question which I have to ask the noble lord is, what specific motion he proposes to make ? And I have also to express my opinion, that the course to which I have alluded should have been adopted before this. Lord MELBOURNE— I certainly agree with the nobl^ duke as to the general principles which he has stated. ( Hear.) I agree with him that her Majesty' Ministers ought to be explicit, and also 1 agree with bim that the preparations which may be made for putting an end to tho present state of things ought to be on such a scale as would bring the war to a speedy conclusion. It might, indeed, have been the more usual course to have proceeded, inthe first instance, by bringing down a message from the Throne—( Hear, hear)— but in effect the papers which had been laid on the table were the message from the Throne, and there would be inconvenience in bringing down a message when the principal matter which would form tbo subject of it was already before tbe house Tlie noble duke says that he hopes her Majesty's Ministers will speak out on the present occasion...(// ear, heur)— and, undoubtedly, they will speak out... My Lords, T am willing to admit that a Message from the Throne in the first instance, might have given greater solemnitv and weight to our proceedings on this occasion, but now there would be a difficulty in adopting that course. But I trust that in tbe course. which we have adopted there will be an opportunity lor her Majesty's Ministers and both Houses of Parliament to adopt such a tone as will make it apparent to the world that this country... with all due regards to the rights of others... will ever be determined and prepared to uphold its station and dignity amongst tbe nations ofthe earth../ Cheers.) Lord ELLENUOROUGH, after a few words which were inaudible, proceeded to sav-- I trust that the noble Baron opposite( Lord Glenelg) will give the explanation which the Noble Duke near me has called for. Iftlie message were to come from the Throne, it would be in anvcase accompanied with tbe papersvvhicb have been laid before the house, and which the Noble Viscount deems tatnamouat to the Message itself. ( Hear). But in fact tbey are not so They arc imperfect and unsatisfactory ; they do not show at what time tbe war commenced, although tbat information must have been received...( Hear)... I trust that the Noble Baron will distinctly inform tbe house what the terms of the address which he means to propose will be. For my part, I must say at once, that I will not agree to any Address which may pledge tho house to apprave of tbe course which her Majestys government has pursued in this matter, as it appears from the correspondence which has been laid before us ( Hear) With respect to the correspondence itself, 1 must say that it is defective, and tbat there are papers which aie omitted from tbo return, of vvbichtbe house ou" ht to be in possession. The Noble Baron talks of th » se papers as° being the sequel of the correspondence. Now will he have the goodness to tell us when the dispatches from Lord Gosford were received—( Hear, hear, hear). I never before heard of a case in which papers were laid before the house, and the date of the - riting was given, but not Iho date of the receipt. There was no understanding the nature of tbe case. There is a letter from the Noble Baron ( Lord Glenelg) to Lord Gosforri, ill which lie says, 1 I shall shortly have to address you fully on the course of proceeding which you will be instructed to adopt if those proceedings in the colony continue to £ 0 on.' Now, my lords, I can find no despatch from the noble baron to Lord Gosford, after this one of the 20th Nov. 1836, until that which is dated the 11th of March, and in which the noble baron informs Lord Gosford that he is unable at present to enter into an explanation of the rea: sons which guided tho government in the course which ibey were prepared to adopt in Lower Canada— and the despatch goes on to say, ' I think it incumbent on me to tell you what occurred in tbe house of Commons.' Now, my lords, this was just no more than Lord Gosford would know as well from the newspapers I Hear.) But l e a n find no letter between these two dates in March and Nov.; an, i on the whole I mus sk bow is i that they are conridered most important, wnen they by no means furnish the house with a full explanation of tho intention ofthe government i Lord GLENELG, who was very imperfectly heard, was understood to say, that when he laid before tho House tbe ' hat he was much surprised the House had no information on that subject, unless, indeed, it happened to be in the Dapers which had been presented to- day. Lord GLENELG said, that upon the subject to which his noble friend alluded, he had DO official account at all. The papers he had just now presented, contained a correspondence between Sir F. Head and Sir J. Colburne respecting the transfer of troops ' from the UpperProvince to the lower. He had no official account of this correspondence betwen| Sir John Colborne and lord Gosford. NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP. The Marquis ofLANSDOWEE presented a petition from a town in Wiltshire, praying for the immediate Emancipation of Slave Apprentices. The House then adjourned ' till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS- TUESDAY. , , , AFFAIRS OF CANADA. Lord J RUSSELL said— I rise, Sir. in pnrsuance ofthepro. mise which I made to the House to bring under its consideration at the earliest possible . opportunity, the affairs of Canada. Sir. in proportion to the satisfaction which 1 feel whencverit falls to my lot to be the organ of proposing to this house anv addition to the franchise or freedom of our fellow- subjects, or any improvement in the laws, by which our fellow subjects may obtain justice, is the pain which I feel at being obliged to bring forward measures of an opposite nature with respect to a part of her Majesty's dominions, in which Ihe horrors and misfortunes of civil war are now prevailing, and to ask th. house to suspend, although only for a time, the Constitutional privileges of that Dart of her Majesty's dominions. But, Sir, I feel that although I may approach the for: mer subject with satisfaction, and witb sorrow the latter, still I feel I would not be discharging my duty if I were longer todqlay to ask this House for those powers necessary to maintain the authority of her Majesty in the province of Lower Canada. I feel, even on the score of humanity, that instead of preventing blood - shed, it would be only giving the signal of civil war to obey the advice which has been given, to withdraw the troops, audio rehnguish the authority of her Majesty in the Prov ince of Lower Canada...( Hear)... With those feelings, therefore, it will be my duty to propose to this bouse, in the first place, an Address to the Crown, stating the concern wilh which this house has heard of the disturbances and revolt in a part of Lower Canada, and pledging this house to assist her Majesty in ber efforts to restore tranquillity, and afford protection to her loval sub- JD- ntS'u 1 usha" a s k i n t h e n e x t Pl a c e f o r l e a v e 1 0 bring in a Bill, by which the calling of any Assembly in that Province shal be suspended ; and by certain means which I will then state lo the house, an authority shall be created sufficient to meet the emergencies of the present time, and provide for the safe government of the 1 rovmce. Sir, in bringing this subject before the bouse, I teel that I could not obtain its assent to the propositions ' which I have now to make, unless I were to refute two pro-' positions which have been most confidents put forward. The first is that the cause of this country" as respects Lower Canada is unjust ; and the other is. that whatever the justice ot tne ease may be, it is expedient to withdraw our troops trom that Province, and make an early separation between the two countries. Sir, in debating the first of those propositions, it will be necessary for me to arraign in many respects the conduct of the Assembly of that Province. I am sensible how invidious a task it will seem in this place, and at a distance, to arraign the conduct of the Assembly ; but unless I do so, I should not make out the case which 1 wish to establish— that the case which has been set up by that Assembly is unjust, and that our con, duct towards tbat eoumtry has been founded in justice : also that the course which we took last year was one forced upon us by necessity, and further, that we shall be perfectlvjustified in proceeding to suspend the Constitution of the Province, under the present circumstances. Sir, in order to consider the conduct of ( ho Assembly of Lower Canada, we must first look at the nature of the Government established by this country for the government of that province. The power of this countrv over Canada, depends on the the Treaty of Peace of 1762. Soon after that 1 reaty, many hardships and grievances were suffered by the trench Canadians, inconsequence of oppressions in the mode ot administration ; but, Sir, whatever those might be, a remedy was applied to them by the Act of Parliament of 1774. Sir. I conceive that never did any country give a stronger proof of ils wishes to act according to the wisnes, habits and prejudices of the nation than this country did by the Act of 1774; for the settlement of that Act was, that the Roman Catholic religion should be established in Canada ; that the Clergy of that persuasion should continue to receive tithes and other dues of tbe Church establishment, and in the second place, that the French laws in respect to property, witb the exception of the Criminal Law, should be allowed to govern that country. Now, Sir, with respect to the former provisions, there was nothing which could be less favoured by Parliament than the Roman Catholic religion. In Ireland the severity of the penal laws bad been scarcely diminished, and ho offices held by Roman Catholics were at all events, extremely inconsiderable. With respect to the law. regarding property nothing could be more adverse to the opinions of thil country than the feudal tpnill'O wrhirsV. ni- ntnlln^ !^ / rr. .

Lord Abinger thought it desirable that the house should be informed of the nature of the Address it was proposed to move. Lord GLENELG replied, that the address would express the regret of the house at tbe disturbances existing in the Canadian provinces, and would also express the determination of the house to support and uphold her Majesty's authority. Lord BROUGHAM— That is to" say the same address presented by the two houses of parliament, in the month of March, 1775. ( Laughter.) Lord MELBOURNE... Not at all... quite different in every respect. ( Continued laughter.) The Earl of R1PUN said that Upper Canada appeared, from the accounts in the public papers to be approaching to the same state of LowerJCanada; but the papers produced by Government, had no reference whatever to anythiugthat had taken place in that Province. It appeared that " a Mr. M'Kenzie was enabled to get the temporary possession of the capital of Upper Canada....( Cries of " no, no.") Well, the reason why lie had a chance of doing so was, that Sir F. Head had, in compliance with orders received by Sir John. Colborne, sent all the troops out of the province of Upper Canada into the Lower Province. It appeared tohira that the two province? were so eonnectetl together ry of those feudal tenures." That was accomplished in the beginning of the reign of Charles II., and the same author compares the doing away with that slavery, as equal to, if not of greater Importac•• » , than ihe Habeas Corpus Act itself. Sir, those tenure* * were considered, and certainly were rightly considered, to be of a slavish origin. ( Hear) Sir, in adopting the French law in thia respect, the English Parliament was a party to species of law which was foreign to the genius of the Constitution, to which tbe Hritisb settlers in that country would leel the strongest objection But the reason why it was adopted, was the same reason why the Koman Catholic religion was established. It was conceived, and I believe truly, to be a law which was congenial to the habits, and agreeable to the wishes of tho French Canadians, and therefore it was lett as a part of the constitution of that country. Sir. this constitution lasted until the year 1791. At that time a new constituton was requested— and I must saj. that in looking back to the events ot that p e n o d - o n looking to the enactments of that law, with the light which experience has given us— 1 think we are entiled to say, that the law was not very well formed with a prospect of its permanent continuance, and a prospect of perfect harmony in that country.- ( Hear, hear.) Sir, the policy ot this country, with regard to her colonies, bas been generally a policy of great inconsistency. It has been different with respect to different sorts of colonies. Where there was a British population, where the British laws were introduced, where British feelings were predominant, there the British Constitution has been introduced, so far us it was adapted to the difference of society in the mother country and the colony, and bv such laws and Constitution the people were allowed to regulate their internal policy. There has been in our colonial stations in which this authority was left, as it had formerly been under foreign dominion, a power in tbe Governor and Council more despotic in its nature, without the form of a real Constitution ; but at the same time the people of these colonies had had what was Congo uialto tbeir habits, in tbe laws of Danish, French, or Dutch origin. or whatever it might be, under which the colony had been founded, and by which its concerns had been formerly regulated. He thought what was proposed by Mr. Fox at that time would have been more consonant to the taste and wishes of Canada, wh'wh was to make the Constitution as similar as possible to our own '.. Such a course, however, was not taken, and it was supposed that the French would inhabit one portion of Canada, and the British settlers the other. No doubt could exist that, whatever was the effect of the Constitutions of 1775 and 1791, they were framed with a sincere view, to enlarge the piivileges and provide for the welfare of the people of Canada ^ Hear ) Nor can thore be any doubt tbat the intention of the legislature of this country wa. not to draw any undue power to this country, but to provide mainly and, in thefirst instance, for tbe welfare'oi the provinces of Canada. Sir, then I tbink I may say that with respect to the Constitution both of 1775 and 1791, this country was uot the oppressor. ( Cheers.) Sir, I do not wish to state tbis for the purpose of making any debtor or creditor accounts between Great Britain and Canada as to benefits given or received ; still less do I wish to imputeany charge of ingratitude to the people of that country. Iam happy to say while legislation was carried on with kindness towards Canada, tbey conducted themselves in most praiseworthy manner ; and en the two great occasions of the war which ended in tbe independence of America, and in the war with France, theCanadianscame forward with loyalty and zeal to show their affection for tbis country ....( Cheers.) But, Sr Vffi'" c o n s t " u l i o n so formed did contain within itself the seeds of difficulty, tho' for some time those difficulties were not sensibly felt In 1810, there was some violence on the part of tbe Canadians and the Assembly of Canada ; but the dissensions upon which much of what subsequently took place turned, began in 1818. It bad for some tima beSn the practice' in Cinada t vote away certain sums for the M ntenance of Government, and what other money was required, wan given by Ihe voles the House. ( Cries of " hear, hear.") The Assembly ot Canada had asked that all the supplies should be voied by tbem, and a petition to thai effect bad been presented. That petition was rejected at the time, but was afterwards adopted and made a proposition by the Assembly... but when the Duke of Richmond was there, a new mode of voting supplies was proposed, and they were afterwards given by what were called chapters Soon afterwardsLord Dalhousie made a permanent grant, and tbis t t0vg r e a t c o n f u s i o " i n the House of Assemblv, who insisted that they only had aright to give the supplies. However, Sir, these dissensions led to new debates, k after a certain time, Mr. Huskisson, who was then Colonial Secretary, thought fit to bring tho questions then at issue under the consideration of parliament, and to propose a committee of this bouse. Now, Sir, before I state the report of the committee I wish to call the attention ofthe house t the instructions which were given by Sir George Murraj, subsequently Secretary of State, before the Report of the Committee had been taken into consideration. I w ish to quote them for the purpose of showing that the policy o f t h e day, tl. e policy which has actuated the Government ever since, wa. a po: licy of forbearance and moderation... a policy which evinced a desire to consult tbe interests, and to meet the wishesof the Assem: bly of Lower Canada, as well as of the people of that Province. Sir George Murray found that there were certain duties imposed by an Act of the Imperial Parliament, in lieu of certain other duties, to be applied to the public service of Lower Canada. He accordingly instructed Sir J. Kemp that, with the exception of the proceeds of these duties, no portion of the funds of Lower Canada should be applied to the public service, withoqt the con. sent of the local legislature. This clearly showed that Sir George Murray, acting as Secretary of State under the Duke of Welling f THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. sembly without the suppl es. being granted ( Hear.) He would now call the attention of the house" to the resolutions passed last session. It appeared soon after the receipt of these resolutions that violent meetings were held, at which the resolutions were denounced, and the government of the colonies held up to odium — while the example of the United States was held up for imitation. Yet, notwithstanding all this. Lord Gosford did not re- D , » a i n e « . a . » u u . . . . i e u , _ .. , commend the adoption of severe measures- but cherished and the attention of the House to the course adopted by the Commit- ( e x p r e 8 S e d a hope tbat a better spirit would soon prevail. But attee of 1828 They made a report to this House, which contained ter t h j s h a d g o n e 0 D f o r a considerable time, it appeared that many valuable suggestions, and which Report was spoken of in an j raeetings of a B t in more formidable character continued to be Address of the House of Assembly of the 21st November, 1828, as , h e , d_ a n d L o r d Gosford therefore considered it bis duty to ' perishable- monument of the justice and profound wisdom : d i s m i s s f r o m the i r situations those Magistrates who took I M P E R I A L P A R L I A M E N T — C O N T I N U E D. ton. meant t o W h T n ^ e l f ^ d the Government » longed, to an exact and precise observance of the ( institution of Canada. He saw that bv these instructions he would make the Government dependant on the House o Assembly for pecuniary resources ; but he embraced the necessity, and recognized the constitutional right, of the Canadians. I will next call " an ltnperisnaoie moiiuurcin v. ••—• >•—. ,„„„„„ „„ j ofthe Committee, and a faithful record of the grievances and complaints of the Canadian people." Now, Sir, one would have supposed when the Canadian Assembly spoke in such terms of this documented eulogised it as - a n imperishable monumenof justice and profound wisdom," they would have given the British part in such proceedings. The Canadians then appointed themselves persons to tbe vacant offices, and refused to acknowledge the authority of any others. It was obvious that the election of these officers, was practically a throwing off the allegiance of the Canadians to this country ...( Hear, hear I.. Parties went round Legislature' credit for an anxiety to perform, and more than per- a n ( i f o r ( . e d the inhabitants to join their ranks, and compelled the form all that was asked for in the Report of the Committee, and j o f f i c e r s b y violent threats, to resign their situations. On the second that some degree of satisfaction and cordiality would have been , o f S e p t . Lord Gosford wrote home, that the Canadi. na would not expressed by them in return. So far from this being the fact, I . . u- a. „,, „ am sorry to'say. ' hat st length the Assembly adopted a tone of the bitterest hostility and enmity. If any one wishes to go through the various particulars of the occasions on which ' he government has attempted to comply with the suggestions of ^ Report of that Committee, 1 will refer him to the minutes drawn up by Lord Aberdeen, which were intended for the guidance of Lord Amherst at the time it was intended that he should go out. 1 will now refer to three or ( our of those m i n u t e s , in which are • ontained the principle of those g r i e v a n c e s complained of by the House of Assembly. It w. s stated by the Committee hat they were of opinion that the revenues enjoyed under the Act of 17 i s should be given up to the Assembly, but at the same t^ une they were of opinion that the Judges should no longer ho d then• offices at will, or even during good behaviour, but hat they should b. appointed for life and r. ndered independent. In this there was mu. h good sense, but there arose a circumstance soon after which Showed the- necessity of it-. a circumstance which will scarcely ( tain credit in this country. A certain Judge was heard to express an opinion adverse to some of the notions of the Assembly a short time before he received his appointment as judge, and will it be believed that the Assembly judged it decent and proper to withhold the salary of the judge aftet his appointment to the Bench, and that merely because of the opinions to which he had given utterance ? When the opinion of the Committee was stated in Canada in 1828 the House of As semblv allowed that the demand was reasonable, and they agreed thst the Governor should be allowed to pay the judges without Any appeal to the assembly, in order to secure the independence Of the judges.../ Thenoble lord here read extracts from the proceedings, of the Assembly, enumerating their grievances.) Now, Sir, I will advert in some degree to what has been done, in order to remedy those particular grievances. With respect to the independence of the judges, Lord Goderich fully concurred, n the reasonableness of tho recommendation, and himself suggested some improvements for the consideration of the House ot Assembly. But what wss the conduct of the House of Assembly upon that occasion.' Thev passed a Bill in accordance with the recommendation, but to that bill they tacked other provisions respecting the Civil Government, snd appointing a court tor ttie impeachment of the Judges. ( Hear, hear.) Now, Sir, this was the manner of treating a proposal of this nature, which raised a grave suspicion that the object which they wished was not that for which they had asked. Simply and by itself this bill was a positive good, and the tacking of other provisionswhieh could not fee agreed to, was a proof that they did not wish to rid themselves ofthe grievance of which they complained. Sir. I know that in former times when the Crown asked from this house for other hrovisions than had been formally made, other provisions were included in the bill, but I have never heard that when a bill solely for the benefit of the subject and incompliance with the wishes of the house.. 1 heve never, Sir, heard of its being clogged with other provisions than those which it contained in consequence ofthe tecommedation. The next demand. Sir, is for the responsibility of the public officers and a more intimate connection With the colonies of those persons composing the Legislative Collncii: Now, Sir. with rcspect to these subjects, upon which Unfortunately there hsd been the greatest difference of opinion between the Government and the House of Assembly, there never hss been any objection... any opposition to the terms of the resolution of the House of Assembly ( hear). It was determined at once that the judges should be told that they ought not to sit it, the Legislative Council, with the exception of the Clnet Justice, and a number of persons were appointed, having no connection with the Crown, and giving a great majority in the Legislative Council to those who had no connection with the Government ofthe country. There was likewise an attempt to introduce a great number of French Canadians into the Council, by far the majority of now members beingFrenchCanadians. Sir. the House of Assembly might yet say that these were not persons agreeable to their own wishes ; but the question was, whether they were not independent of office and of intimate connection with the interests of the Canadians ? If other persons could be found, from their station in the colony and their independence, eligible to those places, that was a matter of deliberation and compromise, and not a matter on which the tranquillity of the colony was to be disturbed. ( Hear). Thus I believe the matter stands at present, according to the last declaration of Lord Gosford. Of forty members of the Council not less than eighteen are French Canadians ( H e a r ) . Manv of those of English origin are not likely to attend again, having removed from the colonies, and thus the g- eat majority Is on the side of the French Canadians, there being only seven in official connexion wilh the Government ( Hear). So far as the measures of 1827 are concerned— so far as the nature of the grievances, as they were called, could be met, a remedy has been already applied, Another question referred to the property of the Jesuits', which it was said should, have been appropriated for the general purposes of education. That has also been done be satisfied with anything short of throwing off their allegiance tbe whole of that property has been already applied for the pur- _ poi . sters of'eduCaflb— n , a— n d t— he grievance was now contained in a subsequent resolution relative to the leases, which had been given of this property to one family in preference to another That wss a grievance which, unless the whole administration of these estates was placed in ihe hands of the House of Assembly, to enable them to confer them upon their friends and nominees, it was impossible to concede ( Hear. ) Another question referred to the Crown and clergy reserves j but I would refer the House to the despatch of Lord Ripon on that subject, in which he declares himself ready to put an end to the former system, while at the tame time he states that he is not ready to adopt the remedy suggested by the House of Assembly. ( The noble lord here read an extract from Ihe despatch of Lord Ripon upon this subject, in which he pointed out his reasons for dissenting from the House of Assembly. ) Lord Ripon slated that it was his opinion an end ought immediately to be put to the system of reserving one- seventh of all waste lands for the benefit of tbe Protestant clergy of Canada, and lhat in order lo guard the Governor against even the slightest suspicion of partiality in the disposal of the lands, tbe utmost freedom of bidding ought to be encouraged... the greatest publicity otthe sales given, and on. all occasions the sales ought to to be effect^! with the highest bidder - Now Sir, 1 ask ( said Lord J, Russell) whether that proposition of Lord Ripon's isnot more calculated for the benefit ofthe province... more fair in itself. Jesj liaable to any suspicion of partiality... less liable to the charge that Government might derive any influence from the disposal of those lands, than thst which the Assembly had made ; and whether for the grievances a full and adequate remedy was not provided ?— Sir, there wss another grievance, as I have before stated— or rather, another dispute. It was a dispute with respect to tbe duties derived under the act of the 14th of Geo, III. With respect to those duties it was urged, and rightly held, no doubt, by those who held the government of this country that the law here bound the treasury of that country. It was urged that the act of 1778 and the act of 1791 taken together made it fit that those duties should he levied, and that the appropriation should be in the Colonial Assembly. The committee recommended that that view should be adop'ted, but they recommended that the appropriation should be applied to the salary of thejudges and the officers, The Assembly did not agree to that; and what was the conduct of this house ? An act wss introduced in the year 1831, moved by Lord Ripon in the. ether house of parliament, which entirely repealed the power of appropriation in this country, and left it to the house of assembly of Canada, without stipulation, to dispose entirely of those duties. Could there have been any remedy less hesitative... any remedy which showed a more generous confidence than the remedy . which Lord Ripon proposed with respect to that ( Loud cries of Hear. hear.) ? It has been urged and may be contended that the goycrnmant of that day went too far in making this concession. It may be 3jid that it was an incautious con: cession to th^' Assembly. But I think this would bave been a ground of quarrel not Safe to proceed upon— for these questions of revenue, as stated in contradistinction to a house of Assembly, are the most difficult to maintain, therefore I consider the proposition of Lord Ripon to have been a wise as well as a generous proposition. But at the same time I think it might have been expected that this concession having remedied this grievance in so full and • unconditional a manner, there would have been^ a disposition manifested on the part of the Assembly of Lower Canada to consider the question of the remaining grievances in a conciliatory and amicable spirit. Sir, I regret to say that such was not the'Case. In 1833 a supply bill was passed by the house of Assembly containing most unusual conditions, providing that the persons holding certain offices should not receive their salaries, unless they cease to hold certain other offices. Now, these propositions may have been just, or they may have been unjust in themselves — but the Bill certainly was rejected—( Hear, hear)... and the Noble Lord opposite" ( Lord Stanley), then at the head of the Colonial Department, allowed that ground of objection— lhat these provisions were in the nature of tacks to a money bill, and that the bill could not be passed in that shape. Sir, I think the noble Lord was right in allowing that objection...( Hear ) But, Sir, the supply bill having failed on that ground, in 1834 the Assembly met again, and adopted a new course, which has led to the present difficulties. I Hear, hear ) 1 say it adopted a new course, because with respect to all they had before stated, with respect to the investiga. tion of the committee of 1828, which, as they declared, had given their report as an imperishable monument of wisdom and or justice ; with respect to their own statements, every grievance had been met, had been fairly considered, and had been adequately removed. Well, then. Sir, what was the result of all this ? Contentment, and the satisfaction of the voting of supplies, and a more harmonious working of the constitution ? Quite the reverie. The course taken by the Canadian Assembly was to pass 92 resolutions, some of grievance, some of eulogy, some of vituperation, some directed against individuals, some against the Governor, some against the Government at home, but all in effect amounting to a long and vehement remonstrance ; and in framing this remonstrance thev passed the whole session, and separated without passing any supply bill whatever. Those who bad appeared before the committee as the able interpreters of their wants and wishes at this time, deserted the prosecut on or th ir grievances Those who were known to have been most familiar with the history of Canadian affai- s, who had stated their grievances in the most favourable manner, when they saw the object was to putastODto the Government, and make impracticable conditions, they at once withdrew from the contest and separated themselves from this violent party, t Hear, hear.) Sir, the duty of this house, and of those who have the administration „ ot affairs, is to examine into every real grievance. The noble lord proceeded to Say that he Wished to adopt measures which would tond to future harmony in the elective council. In Aug. 1837, the Legislative Assembly refused to grant the supplies required by the Governor for the purpose of carry ing on the government of the colony, and Lord Goiford censequently prorogued that asto Great Britain, and having a Republican government. On the 9th of December Lord Gosford wrote that he did not believe that the disturbances were wide spread, thst he did not think they would extend beyond the district of Montreal, and that hethought the great miss of the people were well affected towards her Majesty's government. Soon after this some riots took place in Montreal between the Queen's troops and the Papineau faction. Lord Gosford therefore wrote to Sir John Colborne to put down by force any disturbances that might arise in the province. A troop of county volunteers were accordingly sent out for that purpose. Their object, as the house were awsre, was soon accomplished. It appeared afterwards that when Sir John Colborne sought to arrest those who were the leaders of the resistance to the authority of the Queen, another collision took place between her Majesty's troops and the rebels at St. Denis. In this state of things he ( Lord J . Russell) was s u r e that no man would deny it was the duty of the government to the provinces to use every means in its power to restore tranquillity. Sir John Colborue was fortunately not only fully acquainted with the country, but was fully instructed sa to the steps which he ought to take iu such a state of matters. He took those steps, and succeeded in putting down those who took up arms against her Majesty. Although he [ Lord John Russell] must lsment that civil war should exist in anv part of the Queen's dominions, he trusted that few persons would be found who entertained any other than a feeling of satisfaction that the troops had succeeded. He trusted that the bouse would hear no more of those hostile wishes and guilty hopes which had been expressed, that the troops of her Majesty would be covered with dishonor and defeat ( Renewed cheers.) He ( Lord J Russell) did believe that if such a feeling did exist it was coilfined to very narrow limits, both in that house and in the nation (' Cheers.) It was clear that though a traitor namedMackenzie had disturbed UpperCanada. the general feeling inNovaSeotiaand New Brunswick was one of loyalty...( Chee's.) The house and the country had seen that Sir John Colborne had acted as became his character, and that meetings had been held, and that volunteers had come forward to show that they are attached to the connection with this country, and that they wish that connection to be perpetuated. Her Majesty's government had been asked, at the commencement of the session, whether there had not been great desertion among ber Majesty's troops in the Canadas. In answer to that question he ( Lord J. Russell) would say there had been very little desertion. It was not to be wondered at if. when the high rate of wages and the abundant means of living in the province were considered, that there should have been desertions, but he was sure that those who had deserted had done so under tbe impression that their places would be easily and readily filled up by others. It was rather matter of surprise that with a severe winter and the privations of a campaign at this season of the yesr before them, the desertions should not have been to a greater extent— But he ( Lord John Russell) was confident from what he knew of the generous feeling of the British soldier that there would be no more desertions, but that the approach of danger would only have the effect of causing him to prove true to his country. ( Loud cheers.) He had thus traced the history of Canada in itffconnection with this country, from the time of in becoming one of'our colonies up to the present time ; and he would now come to the question, whether it was for the interests of Great Btitain, setting aside all considerations as to the justice of the matter, to abandon the Canadas. He ( Lord J. R.) would say at once that he could not bring his mind to an affirmative conclusion. He at once said no to the proposition, whether it would be right to desert those British settlers in those colonies who continued true to this country, and leave them to the angry passions of those who had threatened them with plunder. ( Cheers. ) There were other considerations which should induce the house to pause before it came to the conclusion that Lower Canada should be made republican, and that Upper Canada should be joined to the United States- Were sueh a change to take place, it was obvious that neither Nova Scotia nor New Brunswick could be kspt. The question would soon be, whether we should not abandon North America altogether? He ( Lord John Russell) believed that the whole of these provinces augmented the power and conduced to the interest of Great Britain. He would therefore say, as regarded the policy of this country towaids its colonies, that we cannot abandon the Drovinces in North America. He had thought that it was necessary to address the house at this great, perhaps, too great length, because he considered it desirable that the parliament and the country should be put in possession of information as to tbe course which it was meant to pursue with regard io Canada. He would say for himself, that if it could be shown that injustice had been done to Canada, he would be propared to retreat; but he came prepared to justify the course which government had pursued towards that colony, and also to justify their determination to retain it. The question then came to be this, what is to be the future policv of government towards Canada ? No man could doubt that the first thing they should do was to provide the necessary means for putting down the insurrection ( Cheers,) He would" not at present argue the question whether or not government were to blame in not having had a greater force in Canada at the present time. The question for consideration at that time was, whether the house were prepared to grant that additional force whieh the government might deem necessary. A noble lord had said on a recent occasion at a public meeting, that ministers should be brought before the bar of that house for allowing an insurrection to break out in Canada. If this were so ministers were prepared to meet the charge. He ( Lord John Russell) would ask the noble Lord to whom he referred, whether this time last year there did not exist sufficient force in Canada, and whether it had not been proved to be sufficient by the result ? Had it not put down the insurrection ?— ( Loud cheers.) The question for tho consideration of that house that night was, what means ought to be taken, and what measures could be agreed on for maintaining the allegiance of our American colonies to their Sovereign ? He (. Lord J. Russell) thought that it would be necessary that a large force should be in readiness to start from this country so as to be in the Canadas in the Spring. He must say he felt no apprehension of any considerable portion of the inhabitants being led away by the rebels ; but at the same time he thought that as an insurrection had broken out it was desirable that measures should be taken against its further spread. He had no fear for the United States taking any part with the rebels, by their citizens going out in any numbers to assist them; but at the time there was no doubt that both in America snd in Europe tbers were men who would be tempted by the hope of plunder, held out by the " friends of liberty," to engage in any enterprise. ( Hear.) The general plan which he proposed, and which be would introduce into the bill which he would thst night have the honour to introduce into the house, was to suspend that part ofthe constitution of 1791 which rendered it necessary to call together the House of Assembly ; and he proposed that in the meantime a power of legislation bo vested in the Governor and Council. He would not state at that time the number of members whom thi3 council should consist; but not less than live must be present at each deliberation. Every proposition must be made by the Governor. For that purpose, all the powers of legislation necessary to carry on the government would be entrusted to the body. Any act which might have expired, or whieh might have become immediately necessary, would be made by them ; but they would have no power to alter the constituent body, nor could the House of Assembly be called together again by their act only. In order to bring about an amicable adjustment of existing differences in Canada, there shoultl be a committee of ten American authorities, selected by the governors from the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. Three of these must be chosen from the Legislative Council. It was the intention of the govern ment that a free constitution should continue to exist in Canada, the powers which nre thus conferred on the governor in council being only of a temporary nature. He did not propose that the final settlement of the question of Canadian differences should be left to this body. The Imperial Parliament was the supreme legislative authority in all such matters. The mcasuresof this body would all be sent to this country, for the consideration of parliament, by whom they would be altered. and modified, according to circumstances. He ( Lord John Russell) did not despair of the plan he proposed proving effective. At the same time it was most important that the person sent out from this country should possess such authority and weight as would enable him to negociate with the Canadians with some chance of success. He should be a man who was well acquainted with all the transactions which had taken place between that colony and this country. He should also be conversant with the States of Europe generally. It was likewise important that such a person should not be adverse to liberal principles and free institutions. He did not know that he should refrain from stating that the man who had been invested by herMajesty with these high powers, and beeii entrusted with these functions, was the Earl of Durham.— ( Cheers from the ministerial, with manifestations of disapprobation from the opposition side of the House) He( Lord Johu R.) thought that the difference, which existed in Canada were capable of being settled, and he would now proceed to state what the advantages were which the Canadians derived from their connection with this country. All persons who were acquainted with the situation of the colony were of opinion that no condition could be one of greater comfort, or of greater comparative ease than that of the habitaus of Canada ; there was no one who said in respect to the welfare of the Canadians, of their condition, and of their rights, that they had anything to complain o'. Let the house also considerthat whilst the Canadians had the benefit of laws which were congenial to their habits, they had also those of the British Conttitution. It wus certainly true, that with thesi benefits they did not enjoy complete independence, that is. ihey did not enjoy that iodependence that of necessity belonged to the mother country* In return for tills disadvantage, if it eould be so called, there were circumstances which went far to compensate it... he ( Lord John Russell) should state as the first and the main one that the province depended o i tbe army aud on the navy ot this country for defence, whieh to it was no charge. In the last year a sum of 220,0001. had been voted by this country for the- military and naval defence of Canada, whilst the proportion paid by the colony for this purpose was only 1,2001. or 1,5001. If the culony were in the situation of the United States, tor according to the last estimates there, the States were subject to a charge of live millions as the expense of their Army and Navy... if Canada were thui situated, there might bave been some complaint ; but the taxes of the Canadians were light, and the disposition of the revenue of the colony was distinctly favourable to the interests of the people. Ia 1833, the amount voted to Canada was 167,0001. in round numbers. Of this sum only 57,0001. wss to be appropriated to the support of the civil government, whilst 70,000 was appro, printed to the internal improvement of the country, and 29,0001. to the purposes of education. He would nowesk if this wire so in this country... where, on the contrary, nearly the whole of its income was employed in the dischorge of its debt, or for the maintenance of its civil and military establishments... if, in this country, they could say that only one- third of its income was expended on the civil government, and the remaining two- thirds were appropriated to the purposes of education, and of internal improvement— if it were so then it was, he admitted, that its condition was much more enviable than it could now be said to be- ( Hear.) But if the Canadians had no great reason to complain of their laws, their taxes, or ofthe general disposition of the revenue, still less had they to complain of on the subject of trade; and this was one in reference to which the imperial legislature had a right to bind the colony. It was one with respect to which the imperial legislature had a right to force its own manufactures on the colony, or to restrict the colony to certain sources. But he would ask, as to Canada, iT between any two independent colonies there could be a treaty of commerce so favourable to Canada as that which existed between it and the mother country ? Why, then, if the situation of the people of Canada were bappy with respect to their laws, their finances, and their trade— if this was so. he ( Lord J. Russell) could come without difficulty to ask the house to agree with him on the subject of the address which he would propose. The address lie would propose— after " thanking her Majesty for her gracious communication of papers relating to the affairsof Canada," and " assuring her Majesty that the anxious consideration of th' 13 house shall be given to the preparation ol; such measures as the present exigency may require," proceeds— To express to her Majesty our deep concern that a disaffected party in Canada should have hod recourse to open violence and rebellion. with a view to throw off their allegiance to the Crown. To declare to her Majesty our sat isfsetion thst their designs have been opposed, no less by her Majesty's loyal subjects in North America than by her Majesty's forces, and to assure her Majesty thatwhile this house is ever ready to afford relief to resl grievances, we are fully . determined to support the sfforts of her Majesty for the suppression of revolt, and the restoration ot tranquility." He bad not thought it would have been necessary to do any more than introduce his bill; but in respect to the present situation of af fairs, he considered it necessary, after what had been said out of doors, and after the meetings which hsd been held, to ask the opinion of the house, and to ask whether it would support her Majesty in her efforts in subduing revolt tnd restoring tranquillity to the colonies...( Hear.) He thought thst the grounds hq had stated were sufficient to induce the house not to countenance those who proposed immediate independence in the British provinces in North America. But this he ( Lord J. Russell) would say, that if the time were come for this great change, he should say, give also to the 1,400,000 persons living in the other British provinces a participation itf the benefits oflndependence ; if it be desirable to them, and if they wished for and were anxious for it, he could conceive that it would be proper for a British minister to say that the connection between them and this country should be severed, and that a State should be established comprehending those 1,400,000 persons, who were now united in an alliance, offensive and defensive, with this country, and united also in the most amicable relations.

The hon. member for Kirkenny cheered this, ( Cries of " Rrid: portThe lion, member for Bridport cheered this sentiment; but he ( Lord J. Russell) would Say that if they had such a State — if the time were come for its establishment, which lie denied— if they had such a state, they should have men connected with it having the most affectionate feelings towards the mother country — men forming no wishes for the defeat of the British army— men expressing tio hopes that that British power should be sunk. or the British standard be lowered ( hear). On the contrary, men who would assist cheerfully the efforts of this empire to maintain its character, and who would teverencc its power whilst they enjoyed that freedom of which the English nation was so proud. ( hear). But for such a change the time, if it would come, was not thepresent.. It was not the Interest of the British empire or of tbe province which enjoyed, by its connection with this country, the advantages and privileges which the people of this country, as their fellow subjects, enjoyedwith themselves, that this should be. But if the time were not come for such a change, let them not think of separating a small portion of the colonies because of some persons carrying their designs to the length of rebellion— of separating one part of Canada from the mother coun: try. If they did this they would then, indeed, create a civil war, give ample opportunities for plunder and for the destruction of property, prove to be the signal for bloodshed, and for the interruption of quiet. But with respect to the establishment in thispart of a province of a free republic, if it were attempted, the attempt, he was sure, would totally fail. ( Hear.) It was, therefore, for these reasons, and with this belief, that he asked the assent of the house to the address. He felt confident that it would not be the wish of the house, in carrying the address, to carry into effect any project of harshness or severity, still less of vengeance, against the misguided men who opposed the arms of this conntry. He felt assured that Sir J. Colborne and those who would succeed him would do their utmost in accordance with the expressed wishes of government to make the warfare as little liable to the charge of unnecessary cruelty as possible. He felt assured that by the road of clemency alone a reconciliation with the parties which distracted Canada could be effected. He felt that with respect to the greater portion of those who had been led to rebel, ignorance might safely be attributed as the chief cause of their conduct. He believed that a few guilty men had precipitate.! the result... that they, without cause, had promoted the rush to arms and put the question to the issue of blood. He was sure, however, that those persons would lose all credit wilh their fellow- countrymen. He felt that this empire could still be maintained, and if they agreed with him that it could be so, he would ask them to applaud those who were faithful to their sovereign, to this country, and to their own, and to maintain the integrity ofthe empire. ( Cheers.) Mr. HUME condemned the conduct of Ministers, contending that they had no right to suspend the liberties of Canada on account of the conduct of a few demagogues; and he strongly complained tbat the government had often talked of remedying grievances and correcting abuse3, but that nearly all had ended in talk. Mr. GROTE pursued the like course of argument. Sir R. PEEL, in an eloquent speech, said that he should not oppose the motion , but he thought that it ought to hare been preceded by a message from the crown. He did not approve of the conduct pursued by the government regarding Canada, but he admitted that the revolt must be put down, and as promptly as possible. If the right to rebel were admitted as themeansof correcting what were termed grievances, would not the example be fatal to all the colonial influence possessed by this country ? Mr. LEADER briefly protested against the conduct and proposed proceedings of government. He deprecated the precipitancy with which they acted in this affair, and moved, in order to afford more time for its consideration, that the debate should be adjourned until to- morrow. Mr. BAINES seconded the motion. After some discussion the House divided 011 the question of adjourning the debate, when there appeared— For the adjournment of the debate 28 Against it 188 Majority -—. 160 The address was then agreed to. Mr. HUME inquired when tbe Noble Lord would bring on his measure upon the subject of Canada. Lord J. RUSSELL said he rose for the purpose of moving for leave to bring in a bill for tho temporary government of Lower Canada He should follow this by a motion that the bill be read a first time to morrow. The second reading he should then proposo to fix for Monday next, and that it should of course take precedence of all other business. Unless it should so happen that some unexpected business of great importance required the houso to sit on the latter days o f t h e week, he should io- morrow night, if they adopted the bill upon the subject of the temporary government of Lower Canada, propose an adjournment of the house until Monday next, with tho view to give hon. members ample time to collect information from the papers before the house and other quarters, and to make up their minds upon the measure of her Majesty's government. Mr. HUME and Mr. WARBURTON protested against the precipitate course the Noble Lord proposed to follow in moving for leave to bring in this bill at so late an hour of the night...( halfpast 12 o'clock). He should confine himself to giving merely a notice of his intention thif- evening. Lord JOHN RUSSELL agreed to adopt this suggestion, and gave notice of his intention ' o bring forward a bill for the temporary government of Lower Canada to- morrow evening, and concluded by moving the house should adjourn, which was agreed to, and the house adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock. WEDNESDAY EVENING. GOVERNMENT MEASURES RESPECTING CANADA. Parliament met on Tuesday, and on that and the next ( Wednesday). evening Lord J O H N R U S S E L L developed the course of policy'which Ministers intend pursuing with respect to Canada, and the legislative measure which has been resolved on. In the course of a long and eloquent speech the noble Lord stated the oiltline of the bill which it was his intention to bring in, which- would suspend that part of the Canadian Constitution by which it was made necessary to call together the members of the Le gislative assembly. It • was proposed that the power of legislation should be given during the suspension of the Constitution to the Governor in Council. It was also proposed, with | view to the final adjustment of the existing differences, tbat tpe Governor and Council should have recourse to the opinionsof the American authorities themselves, summoning for that purpose a Board, to consist of Twenty- three persons, ten for eaph of the Canadas, and the remaining three to be selected from the present Legislative Council. The propositions which should emanate from this assembly, after being assented and agreed to by the Governor, to be transmitted to England, and proposed to Parliament, with a view of making such modifications in the Canadian constitution of 1791 as might eventually prove the foundation of an harmonious and free constitution for the people. Lord J O H N concluded by moving an Address to the Queen assuring her Majesty " That while. the House was ready to afford redress to real grievances, they were fully determined to support the efforts of her Majesty for the suppression of revolt and the restoration of tranquillity." A long debate ensued, in which Mr, HUME, Mr. GROTB, Sir R . P E E L , Lord HOWICK and other members took part. A motion was made to adjourn the debate until the next evening on which the House divided. For the adjournment 28 Against it 188 Majority 160 The address was then agreed to without a division. The Gazette of the same evening announced an appointment of much importance, that of the Earl of D U R H A M to be Governor General, Vice- Admiral, and Captain General of all Her Majesty's Provinces within and adjacent to the Continent of North America. He is also appointed her Majesty's Commissioner for the adjustment of certain important affairs affecting the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada. This appointment cannot fail to be satisfactory to the Parliamentary friends of the Canadians. Lord D U R H A M is more likely than any other eminent public individual to effect the object of his appointment. On Wednesday, Lord J O H N R U S S E L L brought in the bill of which he had given notice on the previous evening. The power of passing laws during the suspension of the House of Assembly was to be conferred for the present on Sir J O H N COLBORNE, as Governor in Council ; bnt when the Earl of D U R H AM arrived out, the power would be invested in him. Further instructions would be given to the Governor- General, and if necessary a power of granting a general amnesty in the Province of Lower Canada would be conferred on him. A debate follow, ed, in which Mr. W A R D , Mr. W A R B U R T O N and other members took part, which had not concluded at post hour, but it was not intended to divide the House against the bringing in of the Bill. In the House of Lords the subject has not been yet regularly discussed, Lord G L E N E L G having merely given notice of his intention, to move on Thursday an Address to her Majesty on the subject of the affairs of Canada. A conversation followed in the course of which the Duke of W E L L I N G T O N expressed a hope that preparations would be made on such a scale, and operations conducted in such a manner, as must make it quite certain they would succeed, and that, too, at the earliest possible period that the season opened. If such a course were pur. sued he was determined to give his support to her Majesty's Government. No further proceeding has been yet had on the subject in the Upper House. of a line to that town, and was particularly brilliant in dwetllhig j on the picturesque scenery of the harbour. This piece of n3 » &. 1 tification was carried to the length of bringing a Civil Enginetsr j here to survey the projected line, and Maps and plans were aes- I tually lodged in the office of the Clerk of the Peace in compliancw. with the Parliamentary regulations. When the time came, how-- ever, for proceeding effectually with an application for a Bill,, the bubble burst, and there was an end of the Cove or compet- - ing line. The whole of the Landed Proprietors were opposed 1 to it, the expense would have been enormous, and it being per-. fectly evident that the project was altogether impracticable. < therewas never any serious intention of proceeding with it. This mode of opposing the Passage line having turned out a . complete failure, a direct opposition to it was got up wider pretence of protecting the Corporate property in the Slab to the . South ofthe Navigation Wall.. a property which had never been , worth one farthing to the Corporation. The matter was set going in the usual manner in the Court of D'Oyer Hundred; specious speeches made, as to the necessity of protecting the Cor—, porate rights and property, but not one word as to the real object ; a deputation was appointed to proceed to London to defend > t the Corporate interests, with instructions to petition against the Bill, and to employ Counsel and Agents to oppose it. The opposition proceeded in due cpurse, and the good it effected was this— that the Railway having been intended by the Bill, sag it was brought in, to run elose to the Navigation Wall, and to leave the whole of the Slab to the South of 18 dear and « n'- touehed, applicable to the purpose of a Parfe for the recreation of the Citizens, the opposing Gentleman had the Bill altered so as to carry the Railway through the centre of the Slab, cutting it in two, and rendering it inapplicable to the contemplated purpose. Having effected this jm- ' portant object for the Corporation, and the good o f t h e Citizens generally, the Gentlemen concerned came home, and the expense incurred exceeding j£ 400, the first application for payment was made, as we understand, to the Railway Directors, who were offered t s a bonus, if we are rightly informed, tb « t they should have the Corporate right in the Slab transferred to> them for a nominal consideration of one shilling. The Public, will see the importance of the Corporate rights and interests,, and of preserving a Corporate property, by petitions against the: Railway Bill, by a deputation to London to oppose it, and b y the employment of Counsel and Agents, which Corporate property it was afterwards proposed to give up for one s h i l - ling 1 The Directors refused te pay the Bill of costs, and it is now sought to obtain payment of it from the- Corporation. Any attempt to oppose the payment would, we dare say, be as useless, as it has been found to give an effectual; opposition to the innumerable jobs which have gone before this. particular one, which may be fairly characterized as beingequal in enormity to any of its predecessors. The many heavy pulls recently made at the Corporate purse render it tolerably evident that those who hold its strings for the present do not intend that it shall be found in any extraordinary state of plethora on the 25th of Oct. next. Amongst the troubles and difficulties which the Reformed Corporation will have to encounter that of counting the cash which will be then on hands does mat promise to be very onerous ; but it will have the imperative ami pressing duty to perform, of at onee instituting proceeifings to recover the funds which are now in course of abstraction in various ways, including pensions and annuities to. the widows and daughters of deceased Burgesses and Aldermen,, in defiance of the law for preventing the alienation of Corporate property. " ai T I T H E S . CANADA— HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the Bar with her Majesty's answer to tbe. Addtess, which was yesterday agreed to respecting Canada. It was in these words— " I thank you for the - assurancer'of my faithful Commons to support my efforts for the restoration oftranquillityin Canada. The unfortunate events that have taken place in that province have given me the deepest concern ; but I look forward with anxiety to the period when the reestablirfhment of order will enable me to lay the foundation of lasting peace in the Colonies. The spirit manifested by the loyal inhabitants of the provinces of North America, and the exertions they have made in the support of my authority demand my warmest acknowledgment.' [ Cheers.] POOR- RELIEF ( IRELAND) BILL. In answer to a question from Mr. Lucas. Lord MORPETH said it was the intention of the Government to move the second reading of the Irish Poor- law bill on the 6th of February. BILL RESPECTING CANADA. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose to move for leave to bring in the bill to which he had alluded last night. The bill was to enable a Governor- General and Councii, on the'motion o f t h e Governor- General to pass any laws that might be necessary during the sas pension of the House of Assembly. The intention at present wato confine the authority to Si. J. Colborne ; but when the Earls of Durham arrived, the power would be invested in him. Further instructions would be given to the Governor- Generol, and, if necessary, a power of granting a general amnesty in the province of Lower Canada., ( hear)... would be given. As to the per. sons to be named ill the legislative council, they would be named by the Governor General, The object was, that in any future measures to be adopted respecting Canada, the greatest care might be taken to comply with the juit wishes of that country. Mr. WARD gave his unequivocal adhesion to the plan proposed by Government, and he had full confidence in the man selected to carry it into effect. He thought the plan would lead to the most beneficial and lasting results. ( Cheers. ) Mr. WARBURTON, after adverting to the various matters in dispute in Canada, said he was glad to hear that measures of amnesty were proposed, and without wishing to blame the course taken by the Government, yet he regretted to see that reserved power had been given to tho officers engaged in putting down the insurrection. He admitted there was nothing to justify the recourse to arms ..( Heur, hear, hear)... but looking at the grievances whsch the Canadians had to complain of, tie thought every allowance ought to be made for * he irritation they felt, and that the amnesty should be as wide as possible. He much feared the bill would produce irritation ifl Canada, because it would be thought that it did not sufficiently consult the feelings of the people. He advised his hon. friend, however, not to divide against the bill, but to allow it to be introduced, and further discussed before they allowed a division to take place. Left Sittings IMPORTANT DESPATCHES. We received this morning Copies of the Correspondence between the Colonial Secretary, Lord GLENELG, and Lord GOSFORD and Sir J O H N COLBORNE, the Governor and Commanderin Chief of the Forces in Canada, presented by Her Majesty's Command to both Houses of Parliament on Tuesday evening. I n these Papers are included the Dispatches, at full length, recently received from Lord G O S F O R D and Sir J O H N COLBORNE, of which extracts were published in the London Gazette-, but not such extracts as, it appears to us, could convey any notion of the opinions of the noble and gallant writers as to the extent of the disaffection which existed, or of the strength of the Insurgents. In the short interval between the receipt of these Papers and the hour at which we must go to press, it is impossible for us to make any extensive use of them in the present number; but passages in them have struck us as of considerable importance in reference to the points alluded to above. In a despatch from Lord GOSFORD to Lord G L E N E L G , dated 30th Nov. last, after detailing what the Noble Earl calls " the unfortunate result of an expedition of the Civil force sent from Montreal to St. John's, with warrants for the arrest of certain individuals charged with high treason," and tbe subsequent accounts at St. Denis and St. Charles, he thus proceeds :—• " From this statement your Lordship will perceive that the country about the River Richelieu is in a state of open rebellion ; and the accounts 1 have received from the county of the two mountains, and other parts of the district of Montreal, leave me no room to doubt that the supremacy of the laws is there at an end, and that any attempt by the civil authorities to exercise their legitimate functions, and to enforce order would be met with the same armed and treasonable resistance," In a subsequent Despatch, dated December 6th, from the same place ( Castle of St. Lewis, Quebec) after stating the retnrn of Colonel W E T H E R A L L to Montreal from St. Charles, where he had defeated and dispersed the Insurgents, Lord GOSFORD writes thus :— " The accounts from the county of Two Mountains, on the opposite side of Montreal, continue as unfavourable as ever. The rebels are reported to be mustering in considerable numbers, and have been for some time past employed In throwing up entrenchments and making other preparations for open and active warfare ; and reports are constantly afloat of attacks being contemplated from that quarter against the city of Montreal : but these, I think, are circulated merely for the purpose of producing alarm. The post and all other communications in that direction have been stopped, the country being, forthe present, in the possession of the insurgents, who have forced a large portion of the loyal part of the population to seek for safety in Montrral. " The intelligence from Terrebonne is also far from being of a satisfactory nature, and. yhe Attorney- general, in his last report to me, presses the immediate declaration of martial law, as the only measure likely to check the progress of insurrection. He also mentions the receipt from the frontier of information which may be relied upon ; and I have myself had similar intelligence from other quarters, that the rebels are endeavouring to enlist American citizens to be introduced into the Province to assist in overturning the Queen's Government. On learning this, I lost no time in writing to our minister at Washington on the subject, requesting him to take the earliest opportunity of calling the attention of the general government to the matter, with a view to their adopting such a course as one State may reasonably expect from another, with whom it is on terms of peace and amity." We make one more extract, which is from a Despatch from Sir J O H N COLBORNE to Lord F I T Z R O Y SOMERSET, dated LEGAL DECISIONS. A direction of some importance has been recently given by the L O R D CHANCELLOR, in a case where Tithe Composition was claimed out of lands over which there wat a Receiver under the Court of Chancery, the tenants holding by accepted proposals. There had been previously several decisions of the Courts of Chancery and Exchequer with respect to the liability of parties where there were those equitable agreements, known in this County by the name of accepted proposals. In the matter of Lang leys, minors, the CHANCELLOR, on ' appeal from the Rolls, had decided, with the concurrence of eleven ot the twelve Judges, that accepted proposals gave the tenants an interest greater than a tenancy from year to year, and consequently rendered them liable to the payment of the composition under Stanley's Act. In the cause of Orpen r, Moore, the Court of Exchequer ruled that an equitable article [ accepted proposal] to exonerate the Landlord, and throw the payment of the composition on the tenant, must be such a document as carried, on tbe face of it, sufficient to authorise a Court of Equity in enforcing its specific execution. Some of those equitable agreements may be so drawn up as to appear bad on the face of them ; for instance, if one purports to be for a term of three lives, without naming the lives, in such cases the Court of Exchequer held that the Landlord and not the tenant was liable. The same Court, in the cause of Orpen v. Allen decided that where the Landlord was sued by theClergy- * man, and alleged that the tenant holding under an accepted proposal was liable, he could not avail himself of his non- liability unless he produced the proposal duly stamped. The difficulty thrown on the Landlord by that decision was, that, even, though he might not be legally liable, yet that, to establish his non- liability by evidence, he should pay the stamp duty on the proposal, and also a penalty of .£ 20 for having it stamped, rendering it a matter of calculation whether it may iidt bee less expensive to him, to pay the tithe for the tenant, a » the stamp, and penalty may in many instances exceed several years tithe. This, as we understand the matter, was the state and result of the decisions on the subject, until the present term, and a* very doubtful and uncertain state of the law it was, for very' few Landlords or tenants could undertake to say, on the i n - spection of a proposal, whether the Court of Exchequer would hold it good or bad, or which of them, the landlord or tenant, was liable, and it was not very pleasant for the former, in a case where he was clearly not liable, to be able to establish his nonliability only by the payment of stamp duty and of a penalty of £ 20. , 1 The law, however, remains so still. In the Conrt of Chancery on Saturday last, in the cause of Langlcy v. Langley, on an application by Mr. Sergeant J A C K S O N and Mr. C O L L I N S , on behalf of the Rev. Samuel Ferguson, the Lord C H A N C E L L OR ordered that the Receiver in the cause should procure the equitable article to be duly stamped, so as that the payment of the composition should be enforced against the tenant. This decision was, in effect, that the Londlord should be at the expense of stamping the article, and was in accordance with that of the Court of Exchequer in the case of Orpen v. Allen. It is not our fault that the Landlords have not made some strenuous exertion forthe final Settlement of the Tithe question. We have repeatedly urged upon them the necessity of doing so. Every passing year is putting them in a worse position, and perhaps they will be at length convinced that au adequate effort on their part, by petitions to the Legislature, and the adoption of other means, may bring relief both to themselves and their tenants. " Head Quarters, Montreal, Dec. 7, 18.17. The Rebels are again assembling near the Frontier in the direction of Stanbridge and St. Armand's, and it is my intention to send troops from St. John's in a few days to attack them. " In the County of the Two Mountains the HABITANS are still in arms, and I shall not'he able to send a force to occupy the Villages of which they have taken possession, ' till the season is more advanced." These, it will be remembered, are the last accounts from Canada. LIVERFOOL, THURSDAY, JAN: 18,. 1838— We have no further intelligence from Canada.

Not only have the labours of many hundred workmen been interrupted by the severity of the weather, but there has been a con. siderable rise in the price of the necessaries of life. Coals, especially, have been raised as much as 3d und4d. per cwt.. just tt tho time when they are most wanted. In several districts in the metropolis local associations have been formed, and subscriptions raised for the purpose of supplying the poor with firing at reduced charges, and have been productive of great good,— London Pitper of Tuesday. Countless flocks of birds, having the appearance of fleld- faree in the distance, passed ever the north- eastern parts of the metropolis, in a southerly direction, at the end of last week. So numerous were these winged fugitives from the bleak north, tbat they darkened the air like a cloud, and their transit occupied several minutes.— Idem. Yesterday afternoon the weather almost suddenly relaxed from its severity ; but a thick sleet, driven by a brisk cold wind from 21st or 22d ultimo' Tbe Philadelphia packet, Pocohontas, arrived since our last, bnt brings no later news than we had already received, via Falmouth per the Westminster, from New York...

THE Business of the School will be resumed on MONDAY, the 22d inst., on which day a punctual Attendance of the Pupils is particularly requested. In order to afford his Pupils every possible advantage, Dr. BROWNE has engaged a gentleman fully competent to instruct auch of his Pupils as are intended for those professions, in tho vinous branches of Civil and Military Engineering, Drawing, Mapping, 4re. & c. A native of Germany has been engaged also to teach the GERMAN LANGUAGE, which is an indispensable requisite in ihe Royal' Military Academy, and similar Institutions; and indeed, the productions of the German Press, in every branch of Classics and Science, have gisen such an impulse to the Literature of Europe, thai a knowledge of the language lias become es- WDliallv requisite to a finished Education. A MATHEMATICAL MASTER also, of as high attainments as any in his profession, attends every day, and is continued delusively to that branch of Education. An ENG'LISH GETLEM AN, of great expetience, superintends the English department. An excellent FRENCH MASTER also attends. The fruits of these arrangements are seen in the uarieej knowledge exhibited bj the Pupils immediately on their entering the University. They obtained the highest places at the last entrances, Premiums in Hebrew and in Divinity ; and at the last Examination one of thein obtained the FIRST Scholarship, leav ing his competitors far behind.

K. H. THE INFIRMARIES. PHYSICIAN TO THE CITY GAOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN REPORTER. Sir— Your Publication ofthe 11th inst., contains some observations on our City Infirmaries, which being calculated materially to effect the best interests of those noble and useful Charities, cannot be suffered to pass by unnoticed. You declare that the " North Infirmary is the most ancient Incorporation, and that its right to the privileges of the County Hospital has been so far recognized that the bodies of criminals executed in the City have always been sent there for Dissection." That the North Infirmary is an older Institution than the South I am free to admit ; but that the bodies of criminals e xecutei in the City have been always sent there for dissec tion I positively deny. The records of the South Infirmary afford abundant proof that the bodies of Cily criminals have been frequently transmitted to that Hospital for the purposes of Dissection, muchto the annoyance of some of its Trustees. After admitting to a certain extent the claims of the North, you next proceed to state that in your opinion " neither it, nor the South can, under existing statutes, claim to be I h e Infirmaries of the County of the City ;" that " the acts under which they were incorporated have been repealed j" and you then seek to strike at the root of thir very existence, by asserting that all presentments to them are illegal, and to terrify the . Trustees and Treasurers, by declaring that in accepting of the sums presented " they are daily incurring heavy and serious . responsibilities." This, indeed, is an important consideration. , That an act, was procured ( 3rd Wm. IV.) empowering the . Trustees of both Infirmaries to unite their funds, and to purchase or take, at rent, ground in the City or County of the City, and erect thereon an Infirmary or othersuitablc Buildings, such Infirmary to be styled " the General Infirmary of the County of the City of Cork," is quite certain ; but the above recited act also provides that " the Trustees of the two present Infirmaries respecively shall retain the entire and separate control over thepropetrty and management of their respective establishments as heretofore," and that the Acts of Parliament tinder which they were incorporated shall not be repealed until the Building or Buildings approved of by them shall be erected or provided, and shall by them, or the majority of them present at a meeting called specially for that purpose, be declared ready for the reception of Patients. Now I would simply ask has the ground been purchased or rented ?— have the necessary buildings been erected ?— have they been, at a meeting " called specially for that purpose" reported ready for the reception of Patients, and thus become, according to the intentions and provisions of the Act, the Infirmary - of the County of the City of Cork ? I answer, no ;— none of the stipulations which call the Act into operation have been complied with ; the Charters by which the North and South Infirmaries were severally established are, therefore, still in force, and the General Infirmary Act remains to this hour a dead letter on the Statute Book. You proceed next to assert that, at " a joint meeting o f t he Trustees of the two Infirmaries, acting as Governors of the General Hospital, it was determined that the Trustees of the North Infirmary should build the General Hospital on the ground attached to the old Infirmary, and that this building can alone be considered the Infirmary of the Couuty of the City of Cork." When and where, may I ask, did this meeting you so confidently speak of, take place ? It is true that the Trustees of both Infirmaries, acting in their joint capacity as Governors of the intendedHospitals, did frequently meet for the purpose of selecting a site for the proposed building, and discussing the practicability of the measure j but it is no less true that, seeing the difficulties which beset them, they at length Abandoned the project altogether, and formally renounced their design, which will appear by the following resolutions extracted from their minutes, and published in the Constitution Newspaper of the' 6th June, 1833': ' At a meeting ofthe Trustees of the North Infirmary, held the 13th May, 1833, ROBERT DELACOUH BEAMISH. Esq., iu the Chair. It having been taken into consideration whether the Board shall direct the Treasurer to pay any nioney out of our funds towards tbe erection of tbe proposed General Hospital. Resolved... That under the existing circumstances of the North Infirmary, the Trustees consider it inexpedient to grant any portion of their funds towards the proposed new Institution. At a meeting of the Governors of the General Infirmary held nt the Cork Institution on Saturday the 1st June, 1833, thcAIayor in the Chair. Proposed by Sir Thomas Deane and seconded hy John Swete, Esq. Resolved— That under existing circumstances, the Trustees of the North Infirmary having entered into a resolution that they conceive it inexpedient to grant any portion of their funds forthe establishment of a General Hospital, we conceive the question of building such General Hospital at present abandoned , that the fund subscribed for rebuilding tlie North Infirmary in 1829 be applied to that purpose, and that the North and South Infirtraries oi'tnis city be conducted by their respectiveBoards as heretofore. gned) JOSEPH LEYGESTEK, Mayor. T I T H E S — P O O R L A W S — A D J O U R N E D M E E T I N G OF M R . O ' C O N N E L L ' S C O N S T I T U E N T S. This meeting was held at the Cora- Exchange yesterday. At twelve o'clock, Mr. D A V I D D A L Y was called to the chair. Mr. RAV read the draft of a petition on poor laws, which had been prepared by the committee, Mr. O ' C O N N E L L then rose and said— I will move for a postponement of the consideration of this petition until this day week, which will be the last I shall have it in my power to meet my constituents on the present subject.. ( Hear.) I have not by me at present all tbe facts which I intend to bring forward to illustrate the total ignorance, with regard to Ireland, of the framers of the present poor- law bill. I will on this day week be better prepared to lay before my constituents facts, which I have no hesitation in saying will at ieast convince them that those who undertook to supply information with regard to Irelaud, touching the question of poor laws, were totally ignorant of the subject. Mr. B U L L E N then read the draft of the petition which had been prepared on the subject of tilhes ; when the reading of the document was concluded, Mr. O ' C O N N E L L rose and said— In rising, Sir, to move the adoption of that petition, I will take the liberty of calling the attention of this meeting and of the couutry generally through the press to an abstract of the history of the war of tithes in Ireland.. ( hear, hear.) Tithes were originally instituted for different purposes from what they are applied to at present.. I may say that tithes in Ireland are an English measure, although they were partially collected in Iieland previous to the introduction of the English into this country. Yet it was not until at a synod in Cashel, in the reign of Henry II., when the English clergy out- numbered the Irish, that tithes were declared to be necessary and were generally collected. The general rule before that was not to pay them, and the payment was not compulsory. Thus it willbe seen that Irishmen, whether Catholics or Protestants. had always an objection to tithes. It was in the year 1173 that the synod was held atCashel where those cannons were passed which declared that tithes should become general. The Irish people submitted because they were applied to the purposes of charity and religion, and if the clergy were paid a portion of them the people knew th at those who received the payment prayed for them and were of the same faith. At the time of tbe Reformation a change was made— not eo nomine, nor by any direct law as trans ferring them in name to the Protestant church.. but an act was passed depriving all of any claim to them, unless they they took tbe oath of supremacy and abjuration. That in effect deprived all the Catholic clergy of claim unless they lowered their head before the pious head ofthe Protestant church, Henry VIII., instead of acknowledging the Pope as their spiritual guide.— [ hear, hear.] The Protestant clergy were then from the Reformation empowered to recover tithes by law — but they were totally unable to do so in effect. From the period of the Reformation down to the enactment of the penal laws tithes were resisted by the people, and the Protestant clergy were unable to recover them. In most cases during that period there was not any attempt made to levy them, and when there was, it generally failed. At the period when the attempt was made to restore James the Second, which ended in a treaty which was afterwards shamefully broken, the Catholic people were so broken down beneath the hoofs of William and his Dutch battalions— they were so exhausted in property and in spirit.. that they were unable to resist ; and their weakness gave power to William and his successors, the energies of the Catholic people were frustrated, and tithes were again partly collected, for resistance was impossible. In 1759, the commencement of the last year of the reign of George the Second, the people began to oppose tithes again ; they felt the grievance of paying a clergy whose names they never knew or beard of, except upon the face of a citation, or some other legal process of oppression, and the whole country was disturbed by violence and agrarian outrage, and by crimes of various denominations, all having their origin in the continued and systematic opposition to tithes. In that : year the Whiteboy outrages commenced, and between the years | 1760 and 1775 the whole Whiteboycode was passed, which was the most barbarous that ever disgraced the statute book of afree i country. Those statutes were all statutes of blood. Some of them enacted that it was lawful for the military, or the authority en- ! trusted with the collection of tithes, to deprive the person who resisted the payment ofthe demand of life.. ( hear, hear).. ! These statutes were as sanguinary as could be contemplated, and at the same time as ineffectual as the mildest and most ; conciliatory ; for their severity augmented the resistance which i was given to their operation. For a short period the opposition I to tithes might be suppressed and overcome, but it again revived the more the determination of the legislature to enforce them was exhibited in the coercive measures to which it was obliged to resort. The " whiteboy act" enacted no less than 74 distinct eapital felonies to enforce the payment of tithes. He asked was there ever so bloody an enactment ; assaulting a i dwelling house, taking a horse, removing a bridle or saddle, or doing anything in resistance to tithe was a capital felony. But : men should not imagine that these were merely sleeping enacti ments and that they were not worked out by the judges at corn- ! mission, and t h e respective authorities. The sentence was not transportation alone ; the scaffold actually groaned under the victims that were sacrificed for offences committed in their resistance to tithe, and more persons were executed in Irelandfor resisting the payment of tithe, than in England and Scotland for any one space of time, or probably for the accumulation of all crime.. In the ye ar 1784 the whiteboy act was passed. In the extraordinary interlude of 1799, in the9th year of George I I I . , a circumstance of much interest occurred in the whiteboy insurrection in Tipperary. A boy named Bridges gave information against the whiteboys. After the trial he suddenly disappeared, and as he was not found, it was reported that he had been murdered. Unfortunate Father Sheehy was accused at this period of high treason ; he absconded ; a reward was offered for his apprehension ; he heard of the circumstance, and promised to surrender himself provided he received a fair trial. His proposition was acceded to ; he was tried in the Court of King's Bench in Dublin. The witnesses produced against him discredited themselves, and he, without calling a single witness in his defence, was honorably acquitted.. ( heai, and applause.) But was he suffered to remain unmolested ? No. He was hardly out of the gaol when he was arrested for the murder of Bridges. He was taken to Tipperary, and convicted upon the most abandoned testimony of a profligate woman who was actually hired by his persecutors to swear against him ( oh, oh.) Father Sheehy was sentenced to be executed, and by one of those singular coincidences which were superstitiously supposed to have originated in super- ( S i - Here it appears that the Trustees of the North Infirmary having refused to allot their funds to the erection of a General Hos- natural interference, 11 out of the 12 jurors who tried the prisoner pital, the Meeting considered the design abandoned, assigned to J:~ J - c — 1 ' 1 — ' ' pl-'''' ' — * u the North Infirmary the funds raised in 1829 for its re- erection,- and placed the two Hospitals on their original charters, separate and distinct, and under the control of their respective Boards. , That the newly erected Building is the North Infirmary and not the General Hospital; that it exists under its old act of died of unnatural deaths I That occurred during the whiteboy insurrection in opposition to the payment of tithes, which insurrection gave the persecutors of this oppressed individual an excuse for charging him, first, with high treason, and secondly with murder. This sentence was illegal, for no judge could convict a prisoner charged with murder, if the body of tbe person sup posed to have been murdered was not found [ hear.] There was incorporation, and not under the 3rd Wm. 4, there is abundant I no evidence o f t h e death of the individual in this case, nor was L' T _ 11 .. .1 — a...

I now proceed, Sir, to notice your concluding observations, which I conceive to be the most objectionable of all— Up to that point you have confined yourself to simple assertions which have been easily refuted by reference to documents and to the Acts of Parliament. I had thought that your design was to raise one hospital at the expense of the other, ; and invest the North Infirmary with the dignity and privileges I of the General Hospital of the County of the City of Cork ; but j now it appears you entertain more extended views than I gave j you credit for; and both of those Institutions are to be "• struck o f f , " because at one period their respective Trustees strove to I • unite them, to lessen their expenditure, and afterwards found it i impracticable to do so. You recommend to the Rate- payers a ; j idieious and sparing appropriation of the funds levied for the relief of the poor," not because the presentments are too large ; for the necessities of the charities, or that they are lavishly expended or dishonestly applied ; but because the contemplated • Poor- law for Ireland will, even under the best regulation, press j heayily upon the rate- payers.'; No suggestions are so greedily j listened to, or readily acted upon by a body that tax themselves as those which point towards retrenchment, and in thus striving to influence that body, has it ever occurred to you to consider what way or must be the consequences to the labouring poor ' or, in your tender anxiety for the pockets of the rate payers, have you altogether forgotten theexistence of such a class, and the necessity of relieving them ? If the great CityHo? pitds are suil , denly narrowed in their sphere of utility by diminished resources and clipped funds, how are the distresses and sufferings of tbe afflicted poor to be mitigated ? Their claims are most urgent, and demand more prompt and immediate assistance than the prospective charity of an embryo poor law. Will the hand of Providence be 6tayed from afflicting the poor of this large and populous city Will accidents cease to happen, and disease check its devastating course, merelyto allow the rate- payers to diminish tbeir local taxation, and the British parliament to enaot a law ? No, Sir, I am satisfied the rate payers have too much humanity and fellow feelingtoyield to anysuch appeal— they will notclose those doorsofmercy; theywillnotcondemnthe wounded, the wretched, the miserableand the diseased to pine and fester in poverty and distemper, because at some distant and undefined period a contemplated poor law may yet provide Institutions . for the sick- Already they . have given a noble instance of this liberality, i n presenting for that valuable charity, the House of Recovery, a: much larger sum than was even demanded. Those Institutions, furnish no " fertile field for the jobber or the cor- • ruptionist" ; the strictest economy is observed in the appropriation o f their funds. In the South Infirmary there is no salaried offi. ; er, except the resident house surgeon ; none are paid excel > t the servants of the establishment; every penny presented or subscribed is applied without deduction to the immediate v jfints and comforts of its inmates, and iu that Hospital alone-,;- within the past year no less than 17,446 patients have be- . ji relieved at an expenditure of .£ 1087 3s. only.— As to t" jjp Medical attendance upon the City Gaol, it is by two I separate Acts of Parliament confided to the Surgeons of the C'rtytoftrmaries. A. 2. his body discovered. He mentioned this fact to illustrate what the history of the opposition to tithes in Ireland was then. In 1784, an act denominated the " rightboy act" was passed for the purpose of increasing the felonies. They first called themselves whiteboys, and afterwards " rightboys." The opposition to tithes, although it ceased about the year 1889, revived about the year 1792, and in 1797 it became so formidable that an aetpased the legislature giving the clergy compensation for bygone years, by a summary process upon the parish. From the union, several special commissions were made necessary by the whiteboy opposition to the collection of tithes. Without citing the cases of Moncoin, Rathcormack, and Newtownbarry, more human beings were sacrificed to the Moloch of tithes than in any other country for any species of crime whatsoever— ( he& r). The country at present enjoyed a temporary tranquillity, created by the expectation ofthe people and their confidence in the government of Lord Mulgrave—( Cheers)— but he was bound to say to this— he knew it had been communicated from more parts of Irelsnd than one, that if tithes were attempted to be levied from them in another year through their landlords, the agrarian disturbances which prevailed before were nothing to those which would now ensue—( h e a r ) .— An outbreak and a burst of popular indignation would be the consequence, and although they might behold such a calamity with affright, they would feel themselvesincorapetent to restrain it, and while they were ready and willing to vindicate the law by the punishment of t. heoffender, they could not avoid lamenting the provocation, and endeavouring to remedy it. Never was there a period when agrarian disturbances were more to be apprehended than at present—( hear, hear). If the legislature did not pass an act abolishing tithes immediately, the act, when it did come, would be too late. This was the time when a wise legislature could effectually suppress the threatened disturbances. They had many things to cheer them. They had a young sovereign upon the throne of England, not surrounded as yet by the hypocrities who instilled into the minds of other sovereigns the principle that they were only discharging a sacred duty in perpetuating tithes. Their illustrious sovereign would of course look around upon the four great limits of her empire. She would see that in England tithes were paid to the clergy of the majority of the people, and she would then look to Scotland. Why, the history of Scotland was an instructive one, for were the people of that country contented as long as tithes were not paid to their own ministers ? When Charles II, introduced the Episcopalian clergy into Scotland, did the people quietly bear the transfer of tithe from their own clergy to those of the Estalibshed Church ? N o . . they unsheathed their broad swords,[ took their position upon the mountain side, and many resisted the measure to the death.. ( Hear.) Thus much for England and Scotland ; but when I state the case of Scotland, it may be said that I want to advocate the principle of getting the tithes for the Catholic clergy of Ireland . . ( Hear.) But there is not a Protestant or Dissenter in England or Scotland who would resist with more determination the conveying of the tithes to the Catholic clergy.. ( Hear,) If I wished to devise a plan for the purpose of lessening the zeal and devotion to their flocks of that body, it would be by giving them the tithes.. ( Cheers.) Convinced myself of the truth and pure spirit of the Catholic religion, and, at the same time, giving to others the same credit for proper conscientious attachment to their own creeds, I must feel anxious that no act of my life would tend to injure its character; but I must say, if the secular clergy of this kingdom got the tithes, much as I revere many of that order, I would never bend my knee in penance to any but a friar afterwards.. ( hear.) But why do I speak thus? 1 am not more opposed to this than the Catholic clergy themselves are.. ( hear, hear, hear.) Not one amongst them could be found who would accept of the tithes ; but if there was even one who would consent, he would be overpowered by the vast majority who would spurn them, and dare not utter his opinion. But, tho' I do not require that the Catholic clergy, who would themselves refuse the boon, should have the tithes conveyed to them, is that a reason why the Irish people should pay tithes to clergy to whose church they don't belong ? ( Hear.) And I hope they shall not be obliged to do it, no more than the people of England and Scotland. But why do I say this ? Because we have on our side the most substantial portion of the Presbyterians, and the best and most estimable part of the Protestants, and these joined to seven millions of Catholics, must soon put an end to this system, [ hear.] It may go on waddling for another year or so, dabbling its wings in blood, as it has hitherto done, but I do assert, the people must succeed in ridding the land of this grievance if they determine upon doing so. We are as anxious now as ever we were for education, but we will hare no appropriation clause to settle tithes now, but we must abolish them entirely. Our present plan must be to annihilate them at once, ( haar.) I may be asked why I was not o f t h e same way of thinking last year ?— My answer is, because then it was not attainable. We then had a monarch on the throne who was watching for every opportunity, and determined upon the first that offered, to bring the tories back to power, ( hear.) But we are now come to a time when, if the ministry do not make an effort, it will be their own fault if they should not still have the support, as hitherto, ot the Irish people, and support them in return.. [ Cheers'] Therefore let all Ireland now jdin me at once in a demand for the total abolition of tithes : if they do so, our voices will be too loud to be resisted. Things are in that state now which will make it impossible for the Tories to come into oflice. They should grant municipal reform if they came in, and they would then lose their patronage and the party which supported them. If they want to have any prospect of regaining power, they should consent at once to join us in calling for the measures of redress for which we seek. ( Hear.] 1 shall be asked, perhaps, in this project, do I mean to turn adrift the Protestant clergy. Now 1 feel as strongly as any one can, the argument which will be used. It will be said 1 want to deprive those men who have devoted their youths and lives to a profession of their interest in rights vested in them by law.. ( Hear.].. I shall be told that that I want to drive those men to beggary and ruin.. ( Hear.) Now I would do, no such thing. That would be a great and a crying injustice, and no country ever prospered which was guilty of such.. ( hear.).. I would say pay them the amount of the tithes you have stipulated.. ( hear) The bill which I proposed 7 years ago would have secured the Protestant Clergy £ 75 10s percent, of their tithes without the expense of collecting tbem. That was rejected. Then came Sir Henry Hardinge's bill which reduced their claims to £ 1 a per cent. Lord Morpeth's bill, reduced it to £ 72 10s., and had moreover, tbe appropriation clause. Why never did men do anything so absurd as to refuse my proposition. The clergy would have been paid at the Treasury, their tithes for the last five years, without any more trouble than merely giving their receipt for them. But the Tories in the House of Lords threw out the bill. The last bill proposed by Lord Morpeth would give but 681. 10s. Thus every subsequent refusal to adopt the amelioration of the system made it so much the worse for the clergy. In this manner the question now remains ; but I who have been, and am inclined to be, a real substantial benefactor to the established clergy, do propose that they shall get 70 per cent, at the treasury. It may be asked will not the people of England and Scotland object that the treasury should pay the sum required to support the establishment here. But is it not they who enforce the existence of the clergy amongst us ? Even though we are seven millions of Catholics we have no objection to them under those circumstances, provided they are not magistrates. The learned gentleman then adverted to the expense of the police establishment of Ireland, which he said, by rather an extraordinary analogy, required about the same sum to keep itup that the parsons were paid.. one portion in getting tithes to create irritation, and ths other for keeping the peace broken by the attemptto collect tithes. He would have one half of this paid as the grand jury cess, by the occupier, and put the other half on the landlord ; and it should be recollected that no county which was in a state of tranquillity required any police. His plan, therefore, would hold out a bonus to the former to prevent himself from being saddled with the expense ot paying police to keep the peace. If adopted it wou'. d create a number of special constables amongst the jurymen of Ireland ; and if they saw any man attempting to get up a riot they would take him up at once as a person whose conduct was calculated to increase the police tax on them. His plan, he would say, whether it was ever adopted whether its details were - forked out or not, was then under the consideration ofthe government. This plan would annihilate the tithe question for ever, and hold out to every county in Ireland the strongest inducement to be peaceable and tranquil. He then proceeded again to call upon all the people of Ireland to join in a simultaneous cry for the abolition of tithes. There would be a meeting on the Curragh of Kildare on Monday next, and the same voice which had when proceeding from that room on former occasions, would be re- echoed thence, would join in the one shout of acclamation in addressing her Majesty, beseeching her to grant them that improvement in their institutions, an amelioration of their corporations, and a general identification of the people with the municipal regulations of the country, together with a total abolition of the monstrous injustice of the tithe system.. ( Cheers.) Mr. L. P E N N E F A T H E R seconded the resulution proposed by Mr. O'Connell, and in doing so, in an address of some length, said that his determination to oppose tithes would be as vigorous as it ever had been for the last nine years, if some measure of relief was not passed in the present session of parliament. Mr. B U L L E N also spoke to the motion at considerable length. The motion relative to the adoption of the petition was then put from the chair, and carried. Mr. O ' C O N N E L L said he could not allow that meeting to disperse without continuing bis endeavours to putdown that system of combination iu which he was then engaged, and in which he had met with much opposition. He had heard and he should state it, that the Welters and Billy Smiths were much encouraged by the lower classes ofthe Orangemen ; that was evident, indeed, from the fact of their calling their meeting places lodges. [ Aear.] That this was the great principle too of what was called the aggregate meeting of trades, he was now convinced, and he was glad that his illuess prevented him from going there, as he had learned it was their determination to insult him, and not listen to any observation he might make. He felt himself therefore bound to caution the honest and respectable portion ofthe tradesmen, for lie had heard that even some of these had been induced to go to that meeting. He then alluded to the speeches ond resolutions at tbe aggregate meeting, and also to the trial of the Glasgow conspirators, the facts which came out on which proved the existence of some system of association to procure the commission of murder.. ( hear, hear, hear.) The honourable and learned member next asked a carpenter, named Murphy, who, he learned, was then present, and who had addressed the meeting the previous day, whether, in his body, or amongst the committee, there was any such thing as an oath used. The person addressed observed that he was not aware of any such thing being in existence. Mr. O'C. then went on to state that he was sorry to say from various facts which he lately learned, and from disclosures which were making to him every day, that he should be obliged to ascribe the decay of trade and employment in Dublin, contrary to bis former expressed opinions, almost entirely, if not solely to the existence of combination. He then adverted to the printers of Belfast, and said he understood the Dublin men sent them ten pounds a week to enable them to uphold their combination. But he asked how long would this, or could it last ? Only unti* the men were famishing in the state to which they had reduced themselves. Had any of them read Mr. Staunton's paper of that day, and seen the manner in which he had been treated. His printers broke faith with him, and even acknowledged that they violated the law, an acknowledgment which subjected every man of them to imprisonment. They had promised to allow him five apprentices, yet they afterwards insisted on lessening that number. He knew that but for the combination amongst printers there would be two more newspapers in Dublin, perhaps more, and thus at least they had prevented many additional hands from being employed. But this state of things should be put down if the law had any efficacy in doing s o. By the Glasgow trial the other day, it appeared that twenty pounds was to be the price paid for the murder of a man. [ hear] I know a great many men join those societies without intending to go so far as tliey are afterwards obliged; but does not that speak more against the evils of the system of combination ? I call upon all good men, but I partieularle appeal to the Roman Catholic tradesmen, to give up combination, and cease from uniting with the " Welters" and " Billy Smiths." There is Mr. Fagan who, purchassing ship timber here, is obliged to get it worked up in Glasgow, Liverpool, or Drogheda, and when numerous instances like this can be produced, ought not all to join me in coming forward to secure peace for the city, and work and employment for every individual who wishes to earn wages for himself, ( hear, hear.) A carpenter, named Murphy, addressed the meeting, and said— That he wished to see every man who was not fairly treated get fair play. Mr. O'Connell had not got fair play—( hear). The speaker then proceeded to complain of employers in Dublin taking many apprentices, and throwing journeymen out of ; work, and one employer near Baggot- street had sixteen api prentices, on wlioses earnings he made a very good profit, al- | though many of them did not know their business. i Mr. STAUNTON thought there was some hardship in the case I of the carpenters, but he would illustrate the want of equity 1 with which the trades acted, by a reference to himself. He had not an over number of apprentices, not one to every three I journeymen, nor did he ask for any unlimited right in this re- ! speet— he would be satisfied with five, and yet he was as much an object of censure as if he employed more apprentices than journeymen. The men in his ( Mr. S.' s) employment had from 11. 128.6d. to31. a week, and although the number of apprentices with which he would have been satisfied was five, the con luet which was pursued obliged him to reduce the number to four. Thus a person who complied with some of the rules of the trades was as badly off as the carpenter who employed fifty apprentices, and he must say, there was therefore neither jus - tice or fair dealing at the bottom of the proceedings. M,. O U T H R I E was called to thechair, and thanks having been voted to Mr. Daly for his conduct as chairman, the meeting separated. C O M B I N A T I O N — I N F L U E N T I A L M E E T I N G.

D U B L I N , J A N . 1 7 — A meeting of the gentlemen who signed the requisition for a public meeting on the subject of the outrages recently committed in this city took place yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce, to . make the necessary arrangements for carrying their intentions into effect.. John M'Donnell, Esq.. in the chair. J O H N CLASSON, Esq., was requested to act as secretary. Mr. CLASSON having read the lequisition. Mr. O ' C O N N E L L rose and said.. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, having been the person that drew up the requisition for the meeting, and for other reasons, I think it my duty to trespass on you, congratulating myself on this opportunity of meeting the constituency of Dublin on a topic that cannot excite any party feeling whatever. ( Hear.) Gentlemen of all grades of politics can meet to discuss this subject, and lender a public service, without committing themselves in the slightest degree, or swerving from their political tenets ( hear, hear.) It is the duty of us all to use our exertions to preserve the tranquillity of this city ; and I am sure you will give me credit for this, that if I did not feel it absolutely necessary to do so I would not bring you together. But unfortunately it is but too true that there exists a vile combination in the city of Dublin, uuder the various ludicrous denominations of the Dublin Defenders, the Dublin Unionists, and the Welters, and that several outrages have been recently committed by them. Three murders have been committed in the city of Dublin and the neighbourhood within a short space of time ; and really I qualify them too much when I call them mere murders, for they were, in point of fact, some of the most horrible assassinations that ever disgraced a Christian country. ( Hear.).. The murder of the unfortunate Ganly was one of this description, and what I eonceive rendered it more than ordinarily so is , that the ludicrous was mixed up with all that is horrible and revolting. ( Hear.) He was murdered for no other offence than violating a regulation of the egg- market; and I ask you when human life is so cheap as to be taken away for such a cause, should we not all join ill common to put an end to such a terrific system of outrage ?— and it remains to be seen whether we will succeed or not in putting an end to this system.. ( Hear.) The records of the court of justice display a frightful list of the outrages committed by those miscreants. Some persons were recently tried for breaking into aliouse andattaoking the owner of it. He was sitting in his parlour, his wife was in the shop, and they were both terrifically beaten ; the wife was beaten because she tried to protect her husband from his assailants. Four men have been tried and convicted for it, and therefore there can be no doubt of the fact. A VOICE. . I can bear you out in that ; I was sitting in my parlour when I was attacked and knocked down. Mr. O'CONNELL.. What is your name ? My name is OLDEN. I was beaten twice. Mr. O'CONNELL. . For what reason ? Mr. OLDF. N— For not attending their meetings [ Hear.] Mr. O'CONNELL— Even the people, when attending the Roman Catholic cemeteries, are beaten by those miscreants ; and I j ai, k you is it not a shame for every one of us to belong to a city . where such outrages can be committed ? It is our duty to invesi tigate the case, and make a firm stand againstthis system ( hear). There is not one amongst ns that should not risk his life, if necessary, ten times over to put an end to such an evil, ( hear, hear.) There is also a system of combination existing among the trades, and 1 will do the tradesmen of Dublin the justice to say that they are not connected with those ruffians ; but though they are not, it must be recollected that those ruffians are ready to execute the vengeance of any other body, and without saying that the trades would engage them to commit acts of violence, there can be no doubt but that numbers of tradesmen are afraid not to belong to the body, for fear of being attacked by the Billy Welters and the Billy Smiths. They are, in fact, a sort of auxiliary force to assist them without either being paid or employed by them. ( Hear,) Let it not be supposed that I speak of the trades in a spirit of unnecessary hostility. I merely do so in discharge of what I conceive to be my duty ; and I am ready to sacrifice every thing in the way of popularity, to do that which the laws of God and man impose on me. ( Cheers.) My conviction is that the combination of the trades of Dublin has seriously injured trade in this city, and driven capital out of it, to seek other channels. ( Hear.) This system has driven many employers out of business, and must consequently injure trade. ( Hear, hear.) But those are topics fit to be discussed at a public meeting. What I would suggest ia, that a public meeting should be called, and that the employers of Dublin should be called in to attend that meeting, to give us the benefit of their knowledge and experience ; aud the facts that will be thus brought out will enable us to get at the bearing and nature of this combination system, which in my opinion is injurious to trade ( Hear, hear, J A committee should be appointed to aid the civil powers, and to call the attention of the magistrates of this city to the surest method of repressing violence.—- I have not the slightest doubt of the good intentions of the magistrates. I don't mean in the slightest degree to impugn them ; but they must be active in preventing crime. The magistrates in a city are differently situated from those in the country— for the country magistrates have only to find out the authors of an outrage after it is committed, and bring him to punishment; but iu a city the police ought to act as a preventive force, and should take measures to prevent the commission of offences [ Hear.] In case there is not a sufficient police force a remonstrance should be sent to the Queen's government, calling on them to render it effective. That will throw the responsibility on them, and the blame will rest on them if they do not supply a sufficient force to protect tlie poor people as well as the rich from the injuries they may sustain.. ( Hear, hear. 1 What 1 propose now is this : I wish the meeting to be of the most respectable kind, and that the Lord Mayor be requested to preside at i t — ( H e a r , hear.) I throw out this suggestion to any gentleman that may concur in thinking with me that- a public meot ing is necessary, aud that it is the most efficient way to put an end to the evils of which we complain.. ( Hear.) I don't think it my duty to bring forward the proposition myself, in the shape of a resolution ; but I hope some other persou will come forward and do so. I most respectfully solicit some person to come forward to make the proposition, that it is the opinion of this meeting that a public meeting should take place on the subject mentioned in this requisition, and when that is done we can form a committee to carry the resolution into effect.. ( Hear.) Mr, ROE. . I agree with Mr. O'Connell in thinking that it is necessary to call a public meeting on the subject mentioned in the requisition ; and I think the most efficient way to do that is to call on the Lord Mayor to preside. I am not able to throw any light on the subject that brought us here ; but it is a matter of notoriety that murders have been committed, and we should endeavour to strike at the root of the evil ( Hear-) I think the thanks of this meeting, and of the city at large, are due to Mr O'Connell for his exertions to put down this system ( Hear. 1 hear every day and every hour men of opposite parties.. men opposed to him in politics.. praising Mr. O'Connell for coming forward to repress those outrages, aud they all agree in saying that he is the only person that could attempt it ( Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Roe concluded by moving a resolution, to the effect that a public meeting should be called to investigate the outrages that have been committed in this city. Mr. BOYCE— Mr. Chairman I beg to second the resolution, and to add that I perfectly agree in the panegyric that the mover of it has passed on the conduct of Mr. O'Connell. Men of all parties agree in their admiration of the manly course adopted by him, and in thinking that Mr. O'Connell's exertions will be crowned with success.. ( Hear, and cheers.) The resolution was put from the chair and passed unanimously- Mr. H A U G H T O N — I beg- to move the second resolution, that a requisition be signed, calling on the Lord Mayor to call a meeting on the subject of combination existing in this city. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. W ILLANS— I must say that the system of combination has done a great deal of injury, and I, therefore, shall give all the assistance I can to put an end to it ; but at the same time I wish to distinguish between the honest tradesman that seeks to protect himself from tyranny and the man that uses violence, as in the case of the murder of llanlon, and I think all the persons engaged in the attack on him should have suffered for the offence ( Hear.) It was then moved and seconded that a committee be appointed to carry the intentions of the meeting into effect. The following gentlemen were appointed members of the committee: The Chairman of the meeting ( John M'Donnell, Esq.) James Haughton, George Roe, J. Boyce, Ignatius Callaghan, J. Astle, R. Purdy, H. Smith, Wm. Willans, and James Ciasson, Esqrs. Mr. DOOLEN was about to make some obsetvations relative to the oaths taken by tradesmen, when he was interrupted, and it was suggested that he should reserve his observations for the public meeting. Mr. O ' C O N N E L L — I now move that the committee be at liberty to add to their number. Mr. MOI. LOV. . Before we separate, we should express our opis nions of Mr. O'Connell's conduct, in endeavouring lo suppres the system of combimation, which 1 feel to be a disgrace to our city ( hear). 1 therefore move, and I hope the resolution will be unanimously adopted, that the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. O'Counell, for his exertions to put down that system. Mr. CHARI. EL H A Y I S seconded the motion, which passed with the marked approbation of the meeting. The SECRETARY— If the Lord Mayor ivi course is to be adopted ? Mr. O'C ONNELL— Oh, that is scarcely possible ; he is aware as well as we are of the existenae of eomoiiiation ( hear). If he should refuse, we can call another preliminary meeting and then agree on what is to be done. Mr. ROE was called to the chair, the thanks of the meeting were given to Mr, M'Donuell, and the meeting separated. S I R W A L T E R SCOTT'SI O P I N I O N OF I R E L A N D I N 1825.— As I am L. L. D. ofTrinity Coliege, and am qualified as a Catholic seer, by having mounted up into the bed of Saint Kevin, at the celebrated seven churches of Glendalongh, I am entitled to prescribe, ex cathedra, for all the diseases of Ireland, as being free both of the Catholic and Protestant parties. But the truth is, that Pat, while the doctors were consulting, has been gradually and securely recovering of himself. He is very loath to • admit this indeed ; there being & strain of hypochondria in his complaints, which will not permit him to believe he's getting better. Nay, h i gets even angry when a physician, more blunt than polite, continues to assure him that he is better than he supposes himself, and that much ofhis present distress consists partly of the recollection of former indisposition, partly of the severe practice of modern empirics. In sober sadness, to talk of the misery of Ireland at this time, is to speak o f t h e i l l n e s s ® Sa malade imaginaire, Well, she is not, but sheis rapidly becoming so. There are all the outward & visible tokens of convalescence. Kvery thing is mendi. ig ; the houses that arise, are better, a hundred fold, than the cabins which are falling ; the peasants of the yoisiager class are dressed a great deal better than with the rags wh& rh clothe the persons of the more ancient Teagues, whi ch the wardrobe of Jenny Sutton, of whom Morris sweetly si.^ a& s* " One single pin, at night, let loose. The robes which veiled her beauty." I am sure I have seen, with apprehension, a single button p e r - form the same feat; and when this mad scare- crow hath girded up his loins to run hastily by the side of the chaise, I have feared it would give way, and that then, as King Lear's fool says, we should all be ashamed. But this, which seems onceto* have generally been the attire of the fair o f t h e Green Isle, probably, since the time of King Malachi and the collar of gold, is now fast disappearing, and the habit ef the more useful Pats and Pattesses is decent and comely, Here they all look well coloured, and well fed, and well contented, And, as I see in most places, great exertions making to reclaim bogs upon a large scale, and to improve gronnd; I must needs boldthat they are in constant employment. With all this, thereis much that remains to be amended, and which time and increase of capital only can amend. The price of labour is far too low, and this naturally reduces the labouring poor beyond their just level in society. The behaviour ofthegentry, in general, to the labourers is systematically harsh, and this arrogance is received with a servile deference, which argues any thing excepting affection. This however, is also in tbe course of amending. A N I R I S H P O E T — N o traveller ever tasted either the humours or the blunders of Paddy more heartily than did Sir Walter, I find recorded in one letter a very merry morning at Limerick, where, amidst the ringing of all the bells, in honour of the advent, there was ushered in a brother poet, who must needs pay his personal respects to the author of Marmion. He was ase& re crow figure, attired much in the fashion of the struggles, by name, O'Kelly ; and he had produced, on the spur of the orca^- sion, this modest parody of Dryden's famous epigram :— " Three poets, of tlnee different nations born, The United Kingdom in this age adorn ; Byron of England, Scott of Scotia's blood, And Erin's pride— O'Kelly, great and good." Sir Walter's 5s were at once forthcoming : and the bard, in order that Miss Edgeworth might display equal generosity, pointed out, in a little volume of his works, ( for which, moreover, we had all to subscribe], this pregnant couplet :— " Scott, Morgan, Edgeworth, Byron, prop of Greece, Are characters whose fame not soon will cease." iayor will not preside, what T H E LATE D U C H E S S OF ST. A L B A N S ' V I S I T TO ABBOTSFORD.— The author of Lallah Rookh's Kelso chaise was followed before many days by a more formidable equipage. The much talked of lady, who began life as Missi Hariett Mellon, a comic actress in a provincial troop, and died! dushess of St. Albians, was then making a tour in Scotland as, Mrs. Coutts, the enormously wealthy widow of the first E n g - lish Banker of his time. No person of such consequence could in those days, have thought a Scotch progress complete, unless, it concluded a reception at Abbotsford ; but Mrs. Coutts had been previously acquainted with Sir Walter, who, indeed, had some remote connexion with her late husband's family, through the Stuarts of Alianbank, I believe, or perhaps the Swintons of Swinton. She had visited her occasionally in London during Mr. Coutt's life, and was very willing to do the honours of Teviotdale in return, But although she was considerate enough not to come on him with all her retinue, leaving four of her seven carriages with which she travelled at Edinburgh, the appearance of only three coaches, each drawn by four horses, was rather trying for poor Lady Scott. They contained Mrs. Courts, her future Lord, tbe Duke of St. Albjns, one of his Grace's sisters— a dame de compagnie ( vulgarly styled a Toady)— a brace of physicians— for it had been considered that one doctor might himself be disabled in tho course of an expedition so adventurous— and, besides other menials of every grade, two bedchamber women for Mrs. Coutt's own person ; she requiring to have this article also in duplicate, because,. in her widowed condition, she was fearful of ghosts;— and there: must be one Abigail for the service of the toilette, a second tokeep watch by night. Witb a little puzzling and cramming, all this train found accommodation ; but it so happened that there were already in the house several ladies, Scotch and English, of high birth and rank, who felt by no means disposed to assist their hostess in making Mrs. Coutts's visit agreeable to her.. Tliey had heard a great deal, and they saw something of the ostentation almost inseparable from wealth so vast as had come into her keeping. They were on the outlook for absurdity and merriment; and I need not observe how effectually women of fashion can contrive to mortify, without doing or saying any? thing that shall expbse them to the charge of actual' incivility.. Sir Walter, during dinner, did everything in his power to counteract the influence o f t h e evil eye, and something to overawe it;-, but the spirit of mischief had been fairly stirred, and it was easy to see that Mrs. Coutts followed these noble dames to the drawing- room in by no means tbat complacent mood which was customarily sustained, doubtless, by every blandishment of obsequious flattery, in this mistress of millions. He cut the gentlemen's sederunt short, and soon after joined' the ladies, managed to withdraw the youngest, and gayest, and cleverest, who was also the highest in rank, ( a lovely Marchioness,^ into his armorial- hall adjoining. '• I said to her," ( he told roe,) " I want to speak a word with you about Mrs. Coutts. We have known each other a good while, and I know you won't take, any thing I can say in ill part. It is, I hear, not uncommon, among the fine ladies in London to be very well pleased to accept invitations, and even sometimes to hunt after them. toMrs- Coutts's grand balls and fetes, and then, if they meet her in anyprivate circle, t o pra ctice on her delicate manoeuvre called tipping the cold shoulder. This, you agree with me, is shabby ; but it is nothing new either to you or to nie that fine people will doshabbinesses for which beggars might blush, if they once stoop so low as to poke for tickets. I am sure you would not for the world do such a thing ; but you must permit me to take the great liberty of saying, that I think the style you have all received my guest Mrs. Coutts in, this evening, is to « i certain extent, a sin of the same order. You were all tojd, a couple of days ago, that I had accepted her visit, and that sh would arrive to- day to stay three nights. Now if any of you hrd not been disposed to be of my party at the same time with her, there was plenty of time for you to have gone away before she came ; and as none of you moved, and it was impossible to fancy that any of you would remain out of mere curiosity, I thought I had a perfect right to calculate on your having made up your minds to help me out with her." The Peeressanswered, " Ithank you, Sir Walter— you have done me the honor to speak as if I had been your daughter, and you shall be obeyed with heart and good will." One by one, the other exclusives were seen engagedin a little tete- a- tete with her ladyship. SirWalter, was soon satisfied that things had been put into a right train ; the Marchioness was requested to sing a particular song, because he thought it would please Mrs. Coutts. " Nothing could gratify her more than to please Mrs. Coutts." Mrs. Coutts's brow smoothed, and, in the course of half- an- hour, she was as happy and easy as ever she was in her life, rattling away at anecdotes of her early theatrical years, and joining in the chorus of Sir Adam's Laird of Coekpen. She stayed out her three days.. saw, accompanied by all tho circle, Melrose, Dryburg, and Yarrow, and left Abbotsford delighted with her host, and, to all appearance, with his other guests. * * Mrs. Coutts, with the Duke of St. Albans and Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, called to take leave of . us. When at Abbotsford, his suit throve but coldly. She made me, I believe, her confidant in sincerity, She had refused him twice, and decidedly : be was merely on the footing of friendship. I urged it was akin to love. She allowed she might marry the Duke, only she had at present not the least intention that way. Is this frank admission more favourable for the Duke than an absolute protestation against the possibility of such a marriage ? I think not. It is the fashion to attend Mrs. Coutts's parties, and to abuse her. I have always found her a kind, friendly woman, without either affectation or insolence in the display of her wealth.. most willing to do good, if the means be shown to her. She can be very entertaining, too, as she speaks without scruple, of her stage life. So much wealth can hardly be enjoyed without some ostentation. But what then ? If the Duke marries her he insures an immense fortune: if she marries him, decidedly she has the" first rank. If he marries a woman older than himself by twenty years, she marries a man younger in wit by twenty degrees. 1 do not think lie will dilapidate her fortune.. he seems good and gentle' I do not think that she will abuse his softness.. of disposition, shall I say, or of head ? The disparity of ages concerns no one but themselves ; so they have my consent to marry, if they can got each other's. Just as this is written, entered myLord of St. bans and Lady Charlotte, to beg I would recommend a book of Sermons to Mrs. Coutts. Much obliged for. her good'opinion ; recommended Logan's., one poet should always apeak for another. The mission, I suppose, was a little display on the part of good Mrs. Coutts of authority over her high aristocratic suitor, I did not suspect her of turning devotee, and retract my consent as given above, unless she remains " burly, brisk, and jolly."
