The ribbon did not fall from her dress ; it fell from the counter . Jane West said they went to the shop to purchase ribbon : having purchased a piece , this charge was made against them . They had no insention of stealing , as their willingness to be searched proved . —Susan Mitchell was committed for trial and Jane West was discharged ,
sith a caution not to appear there again . "t foxwr . —A Sice Mam . —A very rough-looking man , with ablack eve , named John Manning , was charged upon the Mowing occasion . Mr . John Webber , a fanner , of West "Wlckbam , was sworn , and said , that having arnved in town bv the Greenwich Railway , he and his wife walkedfrom London terminus towards the City , and were overtakeaand stoppediaa very rude and fanuhar mannerbv the defendant , onLondonBndge .

Certainly I am as sober as any One hfiM . They looked contemptible at tne because I look like a Wackgnard , with this here black eye , what I got by inv own folly ; but they wasn't going to frighten me away with that sort of dodge ( laughter ); so I kept up with ' em till they charged me with this here policeman , and , like an out and out -vagabond , he grabbed me as if I was a coalheaver . or any other low disorderly character , and stoned me away . The Lord Mayor remanded the defendaut , and the complainant then gave indisputable proofs that the bundle was his property .
VVEDSESDAT . —A JH 1 EJK DIDDLES . LEAD . NED IN THE liw . —Wm . Perry , alio * Wm . Thompson , who was in the mayoralty of Sir Wm . Magnay charged and committed for " having assaulted , in the most desperate manner , a policeman in whose custody he had been placed for having cheated a publican , was brought before the Lord Mayor . A waiter of the Three Tuns Tavern , in Mitre-street , Aidgate , stated that at nine o ' clock the prisoner entered the house , and called for a pint of ale and bread and cheese , after which he was served with ale and soda water until his hill amounted to * 2 s . 3 d . Upon being called upon for his reckoning , he coolly said that he had no money , and that he had just arrived from Liverpool . The landlord gave him in charge at the station-house , and witness saw him assault the policeman who had luui in custody . Wm . Patrick and Wm . Butcher , policemen , stated that flic prisoner had , after having spoken in the most
contemptuous terms of tlie City authorities and the police , most violently assaulted them ( the witnesses ) , and that they were obligrf to handcuff him and carry him bound to a stretcher to the Compter , after a resistance of a most deqieratekind , in which he had bitten , and kicked , ana struck ujtb all the power of which he was master . The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with the view of showing that the frolic of doing a tavern did not come within the jurisdiction of a magistrate at all , and that no policeman was worthy of credit who did not know the distance , within a few inches , between the party charged and the complainant as to their position at the stationhouse . He objected and protested against the whole business brought forward as illegal , and argued , amidst roars of laughter , that the law of the land was violated most grossly in the subjugation of his hands and feet " 1 should be glad to know , " said the prisoner , " what degree of force was nsed to handcuff me ! " —The Lord Mayor : "Why , yon must know the degree of force pretty well I should flank . —The Prisoner : 1 beg , my lord , to be understood as taking ' an objection to this procedure . Ton have
nothing to do with this business . —Butcher ( the poneeman ) stated that upon going into the station-house the prisoner flew at him like a dog , bit him in several places , and hit and kicked him . Inspector Martin stated that the prisoner had been charged at the station-house with having eaten and drunk at the Mitre Tavern , and that , anon being asked why he acted so improperly he cast all the magistracy and the police of the City behind him in language the most expressive . ( Laughter . )—The Prisoner : I caution the witness as to what he says . Mind that , my lord : I caution this object ( Laughter . )—Witness : lie struck and Mcked with the most desperate fury , and we were obliged to employ several men to fasten him -dowis . —The Prisoner : Now yoa see , my lord , what sort of a trumped up case this is . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Yes ; I see quite clear enough , to call upon you to find bail , yourself in £ 80 , and two sureties in £ 40 each , to meet tliis charge at the sessions , and to direct the dry solicitor to prosecute you . —The Prisoner : My lord , I protest against tliis course altogether . ( Laughter . )—The prisoner was then committed to prison ,
VOW STREET . Satcbdav . — Cdttihc asd Vousvtse . — A man named John Kelly was charged with having stabbed his own brother , Daniel Kelly , in the arm with a knife . A certificate was produced from the acting surgeon of Charing-cross hospital , stating that the wounded man was out of danger , but not in a fit state to appear before the magistrate . It appeared from the evidence , that the prisoner -and his brother were quarrelling , in the course of which the former stabbed the latter with a penknife . A policeman who was passing at the time was called in , and the prisoner , when he saw the officer enter the room , made to the window , apparently with the intention of throwing himself from it He was , however , laid hold of , . -and secured by the officer . The prisoner said that he -had been out drinking with his brother , and a quarrel took place between them . He knew nothing about the -wounds , nor could he have inflicted them , because he had no knife with him at the time . The mother of the prisoner said he was not right in his intellect He was remanded till "Wednesday .
WORSHIP-STREET . Toesdat . —The Notomocs Sheen . — . William Sheen , the man who was tried some years since at the Old Bailey for the murder of his child by cutting its head off , but -escaped conviction by an informality in the indictment , was placed at the bar before Mr . Bingham , charged with assaulting and threatening the life of Mr . Conrad Beuhler , -landlord of the City of Norwich public-house , in Wentworth-street , Whitecbapel . —The complainant stated that he had been appointed one of the executors of the will of the prisoner ' s mother , who died four years ago , possessed of considerable property , for a large portion of which the prisoner had anticipated be would be left a . legatee ; bnt , having been disappointed in his expectations , the testatrix bequeathing the whole of her property among the rest of her children , and wholly excluding the prisoner , the latter had ever since exhibited the strangest hostility towards
the witness , whom he wrongly concaved to have been in some measure the cause of his disappointment , and had been in the constant habit of using the most violent language towards Mm , On the 22 d of January last the witness was behind his bar when the prisoner passed through the house into the tap-room in an excited state , and had no sooner entered the room than he began to harangue the persons assembled there in the most threatening language in reference to witness , whom he swore that he would butcher before he left the house . The people in the room tried every persuasion to appease him , but only with the effect of increasing his threats and violence , and at last , declaring with an oath that he would instantly go ont and rip the witness up , he rushed out of the tap-room to the front of the bar , and snatching from his pocket a penknife , opened it , and made a desperate stab at the witness ' s body . The blow was so forcible , that had it taken
-effect it most probably -would nave been attended with fatal consequences ; but witness fortunately caught a glimpse of the action , and by hastily throwing himself back escaped it , and the prisoner again ran into the taproom . A policeman was instantly sent for , but before one could be found the prisoner had effected his escape , and , although a warrant had been issued for bis apprehension , he had succeeded in evading it until the preceding day , when he was met accidentally , and taken into custody . — Mr . Vann , the prisoner ' s solicitor , stated that ever since the tmfortanate transaction for which his client had been tried at the Old Bailey , he had been pointed at and subjected to such an intolerable series of persecutions , that the prisoner had been driven to habits of intoxication , and
was kept in a continual state of intense excitement It was while labouring under the influence of these sensations , that he had acted as had been described upon the present occasion , and he exceedingly regretted having done so , as he could assure the magistrate the prisoner bad no wish or intention to inflict any injury upon the . complainant . —Mr . Bingham having been informed that the prisoner wsis the owner of four houses , producing hhn a rental of £ 70 per year , said , that after the evidence he bad beard of his violent conduct and habits , he felt it necessary to insure die complainant ' s protection , by re quiring the prisoner to put in bail to the amount of £ 50 , and enter into his own recognisance in £ 100 , to keep the peace for the next twelvemonths . —The bail was produced in the course of the afternoon , and the prisoner liberated .
UARTLEBO XE . TCUBAT . — ROBMMES AT THE PotVIECHKIC AND Adelaide Gallebies . — Eliza Johnson , alios Smith , a woman about fifty years of age , was placed at the bar De fere Mr . Long for re-examination , on the charge of having stolen two ivory busts , one of which was a striking likeness of her Majesty Queen Victoria , having upon the pedestal thereof a thermometer ; and the other was a bust , pbrenologically marked . Both of them were taken from the Polytechn ic Institution : There was a second charge * gw preferred against the prisoner , for stealing seven ?! jfuerreofjpe portraits , in morocco cases , from the Ade-Jjj ^ Sauery . These articles had been traced to the pawn-* " *—* £ *• . As the evidence was not quite complete as to the « -ona < a , a ** ge , the prisoner was again remanded .

LAMBETH : I Thobsdat . —A Novo . Wat of Gettme Oio Debts , — I William Holding , the foreman of Mr . Shillibeer , the proprietor of the patent economic cemetery funeral carriages , and Richard Packer and Josiah Mumford , mutes in the same employment , were charged with creating a riot and disturbance at the dwelling-house of Mr . Joseph William Woolley , ironmonger , of No . 3 , Apollo-buildings , Bast-street , Walworth . The wmplainant , a middle-aged man , of respectable appearance , stated that about halfpast « x o ' clock on the evening before , the prisoners Packer and Mumford , who were in the sable costume of mutes , came to his house , and placed themselves at his door , one standing on each side . Holding , who had come with them , knocked atthe door and demanded money ; and , upon his refiisingtocomplywithhisrequest j he called him a swindler repeatedly , and he was obliged
ultimately to send for the police and give them into custody . In reply to the questions of Mr . Norton as to the cause of the prisoners acting in so extraordinary a manner , the complainant said that in January last he had engaged Mr . Shillibeer to bury his mother , and had also agreed to pay him the money in a few days after if he called ; but though applications had been made for the amount , £ 6 16 s . 6 d ., circumstances had prevented him paying it up to the present t ime . Mr . Shillibeer said he had repeatedly sent for the amount of his bill , £ 6 16 s . Cd ., and was as often put off ; and , believing it no tto be the intention ofthe complainant to pay it if he could , he had told his men , when they went on business into the ncigbbonrhoofl , to give him a gentle call . ( Laughter . ) Jfr . Norton thought it wrong that the defendant should have turned their serious calling to so ludicrous a purpose , but , under all the circumstances , he should dismiss the case .
WANDSWORTH . Satcbdat . — The Advantage of Electbic Telegraphs . —EtOPEMENT and Robbebv . —Robert Lane , a man about 35 years of age , dressed as a seafaring man , and Amelia Spencer , a young woman of considerable personal attractions , were placed in the dock before Mr . Clive , charged with stealing the sum of £ 37 ls . 6 d ., thc property ofthe father of the female prisoner . The apprehension of tlie prisoners may be attributable solely to the electric telegraph on the South-Western Railway being brought into application , as the guilty parties had left Gosport some time when information of the robbery was brought to the station . —Mr . Dalby , the superintendent of the South-western Railway police , stated , that on Friday afternoon , about three o ' clock , he received information from the telegraph office at Nine Elms that a robbery had been committed at West-end , South Stoneham , near
Southampton , and that the accused parties were in the train that left Gospon at half-past twelve o ' clock . A personal description of the parties accompanied the communication . Witness procured the assistance of Serjeant Emmerson , 16 V , and when the train arrived , at half-past three o ' clock , the prisoners were taxed with stealing the sum of £ 37 odd , and taken into custody . They seemed thunderstruck at finding that the robbery was alread y known in London , and that their arrival had been anticipated . —Serjeant Emmerson stated , that upon searching the male prisoner atthe station-house he found two purses on him , one containing £ 31 in gold , and the other 7 s . — Superintendent Dalby said the young woman admitted at the station that she had taken the money ; that she met the prisoner at Bishopstoke , went from there to Gosport , and from thence to London , and that on the road she gave the male prisoner the whole of the money . A letter was found upon her person from the male prisoner , asking her
to elope with him , and stating that he had got a house ready for her . It appeared irom what had since trailgpired , that this man was married and had a numerous young family . —The prisoner Lane said he knew nothing about the money ; he left Bishopstoke on the preceding morning for Gosport , with the intention of proceeding to Chatham . When he got to Gosport he met Miss Spencer , who said she was going to London , and he agreed to go with her . She paid the fares , and had , as he thought , only a few shillings left ; but when they got within a few miles of London she gave him £ 31 in gold , stating that it was money she had drawn from the savings-bank . —The female prisonerhere exclaimed , " That is not true , Robert ; I told you at Gosport I had taken it from my father , and yon said , ' Well , we had better go on to London . ' "—Mr . Clive observed that the case must go for trial , and having consulted with Mr . Fletcher , the chief clerk , ultimately decided that the prisoners must be removed into Hampshire .
SOUTHWARK . Tuesday . —Disgbacefol Assault . —William Ogan , a farmer , of Smesby , Leicestershire , was brought before Mr . Trail , charged with committing an assault on Keziah Sanderson , in one of the Brighton Railway carriages . The complainant , a modest , respectable-looking young woman , stated that she lives servant in a family in Euston-square , aud that she had been at Brighton to visit her relatives . On the preceding afternoon she took a place in one ofthe third-class carriases , to tome to town , the defendantbeing a passenger in the same vehicle . On the journey the defendant entered into conversation with her , and , after some time , he began to conduct himself towards her in such a manner that induced her to move away from that part of the carriage where she was sitting to avoid his familiarites . He , however , followed her , aud as the train
was passing through one of the tunnels , he caught her round the waist , but she pushed him away . Still , however , he persevered in annoying her , until his behaviour attracted the notice of persons sitting iu the same carriage , one of whom , a young man , spoke to the defendant on the impropriety of his behaviour towards an unprotected young female , and advised her to give him into custody as soon as an opportunity presented itself , which advice she availed herself of when the train arrived at the terminus . The Magistrate inflicted a fine of 40 s . on the defendant , who expressed his inability to pay it , having exhausted his cash in France , having only barely sufficient to take him down to his farm in Leicestershire . Mr . Trail said the defendant ought to have thought of tliat before he committed such an offence , and he was then locked up in default of paying the fine .
THAMES . Wedsesdat . —Extensive Pluwdeh . —A Whole Fa-Mrtv IK THE Dock . —Henry Jolly , William Jolly , his father , and Mary Anne Jolly , his sister , were placed at the bar for reexamination , charged , the first with stealing , and the two latter with receiving , a vast quantity of silks , serges , kerseymeres , alpacas , buttons , trimmings , and a variety of other articles , the property of Mr . John NcwUng , tailor and draper , of 21 , Sydney-place , Commercial-road . As the case proceeded it was found tliat Phoebe Jolly , mother to the two younger , and wife to the elder prisoners , was also involved in the charge of
receiving , and she was instantly transferred from the hall ofthe court to the dock . It appeared that the younger male prisoner , Henry , had , up to Saturday last , been in the prosecutor ' s employ as errand-boy for the previous fourteen months , and during the whole of that period he had pursued a systematic and extensive plan of plunder , countenanced and aided by the other members of his family . After hearing the evidence , Mr . Broderip said the case was clearly made out , and he was prepared to commit the prisoners ; but as the serjeant who had the conducting of it thought he could discover more property the prisoners should be brought up again on Tuesdaynext .

House Of Lords, Fbiday, May 16. Lord Bbo...
HOUSE OF LORDS , Fbiday , May 16 . Lord Bbocghah gave notice that , on Monday next , he would lay upon the table bills for the purpose of remedying certain defects in the civil and criminal jurisprudence of the country . Some bills on the table were forwarded a stage , after which their lordships adjourned .
HOUSE OF LORDS , Mosbat , Mav 19 . Lord Bboughas then rose to lay upon the table a series of bills for the amendment of the civil and criminal jurisprudence of the country . After referring to the amendments that had been made in the various departments of the law since 1828 , bis lordship pointed out the many defects that still existed , and which imperatively called for some remedy . "With regard to the transfer of property there was under the present system , such an endless prolixity in every deed of sale , that independently of the enormous expense entailed upon the parties , there was great and pressing danger of some error or omission which would vitiate the whole . He proposed to introduce a bill which would contain a short form , under which property could be legally and safely transferred ; another bill with regard to leasehold property ; and a third which . w < ks 14 -embrace the -whole subject of mort gages , and place it upon a more equitable and intelligible footing . The next point to which he would address
himself was the admissibility of evidence in courts of justice , with regard to which several amendments had been lately introduced . He proposed to go a step further , and to give a power of examining the parties in the cause themselves , under certain limitations and restrictions . He proposed also to introduce a bill to assimilate the law of England to that of Scotland in the case of declaratory actions , and a bill to enable the Crown , by order in council , to appont certain central counties for which commissions should issue four times in the year , and to which criminals from other counties might be sent for triaL He also proposed a bill for amending the law of marriages , and one for securing the independence of Parliament by preventing bankrupts or insolvents from sitting therein . At a future period it was his intention to submit a biR for a general registration of the title , deeds of estates . After a few words from Lord Campbell , the bills , nine in number , were severally read a first time .
Toesdat , May 20 . gave laws . Lord Campbell presented three petitions from Dunfermline , Cupar , and Kirkaldy , complaining of the Game Laws . The first grievance of which the petitioners complained was that the present system of the Game Laws was most oppressive to tenant-farmers . He ( Lord Campbell ) could not concur in the sentiments ofthe petitioners in that respect , as he thought the question of the Game Laws was not in the slightest degree a question between the landlord and his tenants . The land was sold by contract , and the law would provide for the rights over the game that the landlord was to enjoy . It was , therefore , the fault of the tenant himself if he did not stipulate for that protection which he thought was necessary for tlie proper cultivation of his farm . There seemed to have been a great deal of delusion and unfounded clamour on
this subject , and that the landlords had been very unjustly 1 accused of oppression . It had also been said that the system prevailing in this country for the preservation of game was similar to that which prevailed in France before the revolution . But he thought that if all the Game Laws were swept away at once , the same system would still prevail between landlords and tenants . The landlord would gay to the farmer , "I will not let my farm unless the game is reserved to me , and yon wiU undertake that it shaU feed , unmolested , in the fields . " The farmer might then say , " I will not take the farm on those terms , nor unless yon will give me compensation for the injury that will be done to me by the game . " The petitioners next complained that the community suffered from the Game Laws , On tliat point he entirely agreed with them . As the crime of poaching became more frequent , as there were so many convictions , to many encounters between keepers and poachers , and
House Of Lords, Fbiday, May 16. Lord Bbo...
so many , murders committed , it must be allowed that the attention of Government should bedirected to the subject , to see whether some amendment could not be provided . It was a growing evil . In 18 U there were 3000 game convictions , but the annual number now reached to nearly 5000 . In the ten years between 1833 and 1843 there were forty-two instances of homicides in encounters between poachers and gamekeepers , and there were twenty-five convictions for murder . The evil arising from the offence of poaching must be considered of the most serious and alarming nature , not only as regarded individual suffering , but also the ill-will that was excited between one class and the other . He should not wish any law to be introduced that should interfere with the fair enjoyment of field sports ; but he thought that some remedy should be adopted to effectually prevent poaching , or the temptation to poaching , and much might be done to effect that by kindness of manners and good feeling .
Lord DacRE said that in 1816 he moved in the other House of Parliament for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the condition and general character of the Game Laws . The result was a report which established the doctrine that the property in game was in the owner of tlie soil " rotione soli , " and that when the game was off the soil it was no longer the property of the original possessor of the land unless it had been followed by what was called a "recent pursuit . " The report of the committee was the groundwork ofthe bill tlie 1 and 2 Will . IV ., which he should he most happy to amend . He felt strongly the position in which the Game Laws were now placed , and he imagined he had found remedies which would mitigate the mischiefs that the country at present suffered , and more especially its agricultural population . It was impossible to prevent poaching so long as the sympathies ofthe people were not marching with them , and they would not be so until they proved to thein the time character of game . When the people knew that , a good end must result .
Lord Hathertoh never approved of the Game Laws ; and although the bill of 1831 had done much , still much remained to be done . He regretted that his noble friend ( LordDacre ) had not thrown out a suggestion as to the best principle of dealing with the subject . He thought that much of the present mischiefs might be removed , if the law which made hares game were repealed , for nineteen out of twenty of the commitments to gaols were for snaring bases-, the number committed for taking partridges and pheasants was very small . The preservation of hares was now carried to so great an extent that be could scarcely think any one of their lordships , however much addicted to field sports they might be , could hesitate to admit that some legislative measure was necessary to ( in some degree ) check the practice . After some other " talk" of no importance , their lordships adjourned . Thursday , May 22 .
Lord Beaumont moved for papers connected with recent events in Greece , which the Earl of Aberdeenjsaid were of no public interest , and declined to produce . The motion was consequently withdrawn . The Lord Chancellob then moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill , and detailed at some length its provisions . After a few words from Lords Brougham and Cottenham , who gave their agscnt to the measure , on the understanding that the bill would he referred to a select committee , the bill was read a second time , and referred to a select committee up stairs .
House Of Commons, Friday, May 16. On The...
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , May 16 . On the motion for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply , Captain Bebkelet called attention to the present system of manning her Majesty's navy , and the difficulty that arises in procuring , able seamen for her service . The gallant officer contended that , under the present system , there was no opportunity for training able seamen , and that , consequently , the navy was gradually losing its characteristics as the main defence and power of the country . Sir G . Cockbuen defended the existing system as quite adequate for the necessities of a peace establishment . The character of the navy was rapidly rising in estimation ; the seamen were protected from the plunder of crimps , and the supply through the medium ofthe merchant service would be found adequate to any emergency that might arise .
A discussion ensued , in which Mr . Somes , Mr . Lambton , Captain Rous , Captain Pechell , Lord Ingestrc , Sir C . Napier , and Mr . Williams took part ; after which Lord Palmersto * - drew attention to the state of the slave trade , contending at somc length that the late Government had exerted itself strenuously to effect treaties with a view to its suppression , and had in effect concluded no less than thirty such treaties with various countries in all parts ofthe world , while the present government since it came into power had not concluded a single treaty on the subject . He hoped tliat Ministers would take a more lively interest in this matter than they had hitherto done , in which case they would , if they did not extinguish the slave trade , at all events bring it within much narrower limits than it now occupied .
SirR . Peel replied at some length . He denied that the present government had undone anything which had been done by their predecessors , or that they were at all indifferent to the great object of suppressing this monstrous evil , which was a disgrace to the civilised nations of the world . After some observations from Mr . P . Howard , the house went into committee of supply , and the remainder of the evening was occupied in the discussion of the estimates .
HOUSE OF COMMONS , Monday , May 19 . THE maynooth bill . On the motion that the Maynooth Endowment Bill be read a third time , Mr . Ewart moved an amendment recognising the voluntary principle , and objecting to the making any religious denomination dependent on the State . Mr . Mi ( B . 8 tAND seconded the amendment , and protested against the increase of religious establishments while such an anomaly as the wealthy Protestant Church of Ireland existed . The amendment not having met with any other supporter , Mr . Ewart declined to go to a division , and the amendment was consequently withdrawn .
Mr . Bankes then moved that the hill be read a third time that day six months . He contended that Ministers were acting upon deceptive information , and would deceive their Sovereign if they advised her giving her assent to a measure which was opposed to the Protestant constitution of that country . He feared the result of the present measure would be not only fatal to the Irish Protestant Church , but lead to the possibility of a Catholic successor to the throne . It was said at the battle of the Boyne , " Change your kings , and we will fight the battle over again ; " and he would say to her Majesty ' s Ministers , " Change your Parliament , and we will contest the measure over again . " Sir R . Inglis seconded tlie amendment . Mt . M'Geachy , in supporting the third reading of the bill , pointed out the benefits which it was calculated to confer upon the people of Ireland , and refuted the arguments used by Mr . Bankes against the measure .
Mr , Mangles and Mr . Escott also spoke in support of the bill . Mr . Spooneb repeated his former argument , that the question was not one of money but of principle , and made an impassioned appeal to the house to reject the bill . Mr . C . Bulleb regretted toifind Mr , Spooner opening up a theological question which was a very inappropriate subject for discussion in that house , and appealing to the religious prejudices of hon . members by picking out the most offensive phrases in the Thirty-nine Articles , for the purpose of insulting their Roman Catholic brethren . He congratulated the Government upon the improved policy they were adopting towards Ireland , and thought every friend to the union between the two countries ought to give the present measure , as well as that for the extension of academical education in Ireland , their cordial support .
Six V . Blake also eulogised Sir R , Peel for the measures he had lately brought forward with regard to Ireland . Lord Inqestbe had voted against the former grant to Maynooth because he thought it too insignificant to he productive of any benefit ; but he should vote in favour of the present measure , believing that it would promote the best interests of this country and of Ireland , Mr . Lawson moved the adjournment ofthe debate , and after some discussion the motion was agreed to , and shortly afterwards the house adjourned .
Tcesday , May 20 . THE TAKA MEETING . Mr . Feehand wished to put a question to the right hon . baronet at the head of the Home Office relative to what was announced as about to take place in Ireland . He found in the Freeman's Journal , of tlie 13 th May , a sort of programme of the demonstration which was to take place at Tara on Thursday . The journal went on to say , that the demonstration was intended as a hint to the Ministry , and that the object which prompted this demonstration in 1815 was the same which , in 1843 , had crowned the heights of Tara with a million of men . AU the counties were stated to have made preparations for this forthcoming demonstration ; and it was expected there would be no part of Ireland that would be inadequately represented . He wished to ask the right hon . baronet whether it was his determination to assert the majesty of the law , and prevent this monster meeting , or whether it was his intention to allow Mr . O'Connell and the Repealers of Ireland to trample the law under foot ?
Sir J , Gbaham replied he was aware of the probability of a great assembly of the people of Ireland occurring , and in answer to the hon . member ' s question he had to say , that the Lord Lieutenant had received directions from her Majesty ' s Government to take care that the peace of Ireland was preserved , in accordance with the law as it at present existed . A motion , brought forward by Mr . Been al Obbobne , for a return of all the monies derived from rents or college lands , endowments , bequests , fees on matriculation and taking of degrees , and the amount of income paid therefrom to the senior and junior fellows , professors , scholars , and other officers of Trinity College , Dublin , gave rise to some discussion , the hon . gentleman refusing to postpone his motion unless he was assured of another opportunity of making it . Sir T . Fbemaktle opposed it , as being an interference with private property ; and SirR . Peel also expressed his determination to resist the motion .
House Of Commons, Friday, May 16. On The...
On the opposition side , it was urged by Mr . Shell , Lord J , Russell , and others , that Trinity College being founded by the Crown , and endowed with confiscated property , it was competent to the house to call for the information . The motion was , on a division , negatived by 82 to S 3 .
THE MAYNOOin BILL . The adjourned debate was resumed by Sir H . W . Bauson , who complained of the misrepresentations and slander that had been cast upon the Roman Catholics during the discussions upon the Maynooth Bill , and which had been productive of a violent opposition to the measure in that country , and had created much exasperation and ill feeling in Ireland , Mr . Lawson believed that he would be betraying the interests of the Established Church if he did not vote against the present measure . In the part of the country which he represented the general feeling of both church , men and dissenters was against the grant .
Mr . Cholmondeley believed the object of tlie bill was to raise the standard of the Irish priesthood , and there , fore to lessen the chances of the propagation of error . He denied that it could be considered in the light of a sop to the Repeal agitation ; it was given unasked for , and at a great sacrifice of popularity , as being imperatively required by the present circumstances of Maynooth College . He was satisfied that the rejection of this measure would put a stop to all the great plans of improvement which were at this moment in operation in Ireland . Mr . FroLiiOTi said the recent declarations of tlie leaders of the Irish people clearly showed that they felt no gratitude whatever for the grant ; that they considered it as merely extorted from the fears of the Government , and that it would merely encourage them in renewed agitation and increased demands . Sir D , Norreys , Mr . Godson , Colonel Raivdon , Mr . Gaskell , and Mr . Bellew supported , and Mr . Law opposed the bill .
few R , Isoua after admitting that the subject had been completely exhausted , said he felt it necessary to state briefly the grounds that induced him to vote against the measure . It was quite clear that the bill did not satisfy the Roman Catholics of Ireland , while it was equally certain that it would alienate the Protestants of the empire from the present ministry . He believed the measure was bad in itself , and that it would be worse as the commencement of a series , and should therefore give it his most strenuous opposition . Col . Vebneb moved the adjournment of the debate , which , in a division , was negatived by 180 to 10 G . The gallant colonel then moved that the house do now adjourn . After a few words from Lord J . Russell , and a remonstrance from Sir R . Peel , the debate was again adjourned .
Wednesday , May 21 , The house mot at four o ' clock . The Lord Mayor of Dublin appeared at the bar in his civic State robes , accompanied by the town-clerk of Dublin , and presented a petition from the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Common Council of Dublin , praying that the Hibernian Joint Stock Banking Company might be ineluded in the measure relating to joint stock banks .
GRANT TO MAINOOTH—ADJOUBNED DEBATE , The adjourned debate on the Maynooth bill Was resumed by Col . Vebneb , who pointed out the disastrous results which he believed would follow from the passing ofthe measure . The Protestants were alarmed and discouraged , while the Roman Catholics were rampant and insatiable . He was extremely anxious , on behalf of the Protestants of Ireland , to know to what the policy of the Government tended . It appeared to him that the only argument that could be urged in its favour was , that having for fifty years gone on in the path of error , they were now to do something which was much ivorse .
Lord II . Vane thought the measure a great improvement on the former system , as it did away with the annual polemical discussions that had taken place in the house . He was gratified to find the value of the boon enhanced by the announcement that had been made in the course of the debates on the bill that Ireland was henceforth to be governed upon a different policy . He did not , therefore , regard it as a final measure , although Lord Ashley had such faith in the expansive force of Protestantism as to anticipate the time when it would embrace the Roman Catholic population . But , he asked , was there any hon . member , who , judging by the past , could , in his most enthusiastic moments , anticipate the realisation ofthe noble lord's anticipations ? HeVgrctted to find Sir R . Peel using expressions which implied that he was yielding to intimidations . If the measure was based upon mere clamour , he should oppose it . He supported it because it was just and expedient , and in Christian charity he felt bound to give it his cordial assent .
Mr . Colquhoun complained of the system of terrorism and alarm under which the Protestants of Ireland were at present placed , and which imperatively called for the interference of the executive Government . The Irish Roman Catholics were divided into three several parties , the moderate , the "Young Ireland" party , and those under the immediate influence of the priests ; but lion ' - evcr they might differ among themselves upon minor points , they were all united in their demand for a repeal of the legislative union between the two countries . He called upon the Government , as it had put down Orange lodges and processions , to put down the Ribbon lodges
and the monster meetings , and do equal justice between both parties . He contended that to the clergy of the Established Church the Government was indebted for the preservation of the peace of Ireland during the period when the monster meetings were being held ; and yet , when they subsequently applied to Sir R . Peel for assistance to their schools , a simple act of justice , they experienced a haughty refusal . He thought there was little encouragement either as regarded the literature or the loyalty of those who hud been hitherto educated at Maynooth , to the Parliament or the Government , to increase the grant and place the college on a pennanent footing .
Mr . \ V YSE replied to the various petitions which had been presented against the Bill , and which he classed into those who opposed a grant from the public funds on the ground of public economy , those who objected to any religious endowment by the State , and those who objected iu consequence of what they believed to be the erroneous doctrines taught at Maynooth . Tho hon . gentleman at some length replied to the arguments of these three classes , and contended that they had made out no case for opposing tho present measure . He appealed to the house to put an end to the petty differences which had been so long an effectual bar to the improvement of Ireland , The Catholics of that country were too numerous and influential to be any longer treated with contempt or neglect , and he doubted not the country at large would , ere long , feel the beneficial results of the more liberal policy which Sir R . Peel was now adopting towards Ireland .
Mr . Dabbt feared that an extension ofthe grant would be attended with the most pernicious results , and would endanger the Protestant constitutionin that country . He thought that the house had a right to learn to what extent and in what direction further Sir R . Peel meant to go . Feeling that the present was an attempt to confer a permanent endowment upon an institution teaching principles antagonist to those of their Protestant constitution , ha should deem it his duty to oppose the bill . Sib J . Gbaham believed they were all agreed ; upon this point—that this protracted debate should at length close . He felt called upon to notice some of the observations personal to himself which had been made in the course of the debate . He had been charged by the Recorder for Dublin with neglect of Irish interests , and in
the same breath he was censured for having usurped too great a control over the Irish executive . He believed , however , that he was only following up a " wish very strongly- expressed in that house and elsewhere , that it was expedient that some control should be exercised by the Home Office over the acts of the Irish executive . The right hon , gentleman then pointed out the instances in which he had felt it his duty to exert his authority in Irish matters , and as the result had proved with the most beneficial effect , He then referred to the religious objections which had , been urged by Mr . Spooner , and observed , that although he admitted the importance of maintaining their Protestant constitution , he was a firm believer in the principle that whenever , on matters of state , questions of religion arose , these questions must be decided upon political and not theological grounds . The influence of the Roman Catholic Priesthood was admitted on all hands , and when he considered their poverty and their privations , he was not surprised that the
people venerated their pastors . True , he was reminded that he was the Protestant minister of a Protestant Sovereign ; but he could not forget that he was the minister of a Sovereign who had eight millions of subjects professing the Roman Catholic religion , AtExeterHall they were told that the fundamental principle of their union was " a steady abhorrence of the Roman Catholic religion . " That might be the fundamental principle of the union between the Baptists , the Independents , and the Unita rians ; but it was not the fundamental principle of the union which he was anxious to maintain—namely , that between Great Britain and Ireland . He believed the grant would be gratefully accepted in Ireland ; and whatever the issue of the debate might be , he asserted that never was a measure propounded by a Minister from a more conscientious conviction ofits utility ; and although many of his hon . friends disapproved of it , he felt that ho would basely betray his duty if he had failed to press it spoil the consideration of Parliament .
Mr . Sheil expressed his satisfaction at the speech of Sir James Graham . He referred to a letter of Edmond Burk , who was considered by the hon . gentlemen opposite one ofthe greatest statesmen of his time , in which he stated that the foundation of Maynooth College was one of the most important incidents of his day . That college had been considered a nursery of agitation and sedition , and yet atthe time when the great struggle for Irish liberty was going on—whenpopular feeling was in a state of the utmost exacerbation , the heads of the college had published a protest recommending submission to the laws , and declaring that no power on earth could release them from the allegiance they had sworn . He could assure the Government that the Catholic hierarchy and the
professors ofthe College of Maynooth were most grateful and thankful for the measure . In Ireland there had been no Protestant demonstration against the boon , and in England the opposition had been almost exclusively confined to tlie dissenters ; bat he trusted the peace and welfare of the one country would not be sacrificed to the prejudices and passions of the other . He then referred to a circular which had been put forward by the Anti-Maynooth conference , in which he alleged that extracts were contained from works which were not class books of Maynooth , while others were garbled , and observed that these were the stratagems and pious frauds by which efforts were made to excite the public mind upon the subject ,
House Of Commons, Friday, May 16. On The...
Mr , Pluhi-sbe . hoped . before the bill was finally passed , that an opportunity would lie afforded him " of inquiring " into the class books taught at Maynooth . ' He could assure Sir J . Graham that he felt no abhorrence of his Roman Catholic brethren , but he opposed the grant from purely conscientious convictions . Mr . Febeasd recalled to the recollection of the house the advice which Sir R . Peel had given to her Majesty's late Ministers on a celebrated occasion , when they had found themselves in a majority on one of their Irish measures . He had told them that though they might find themselves in a majority in that house , they would still have to fight the battle ofthe constitution in the registration courts . The battle had been fought there ; and tlie
electors of the empire had , in consequence , returned to Parliament at the last election a Conservative majority which had enabled Sir R . Peel to drive the Whigs from office . That majority had selected Sir R . Peel for their commander , and had placed him in office . Since tliat time he had betrayed them—he had led them into the midst of the enemy ' s camp , and by so doing had earned for himself the unenviable title of the Maroto of Conservatism . But as at the last election tlie battle had been fought to drive the Whigs from power , so at the next it would be to expel the Conservatives from the offices which they now so unworthily filled . Yes , so sure as there was a dissolution of Parliament , the traitors now in power would be driven from it , and be deprived of the fruits of their treachery .
Captain Layard afterwards addressed the house in support ofthe measure , amidst very general marks of impatience . LordF . Egerton trusted the sentiments of Mr . Fevrand and Mr . Plumptre would not be taken as those of the Protestants of England . The able picture which had been drawn by Mr . Colquhoun of the present state of Ireland had tended more than anything else to confirm him in his original views . If they were to carry out to its full extent the proposition that they were dealing with Ireland as a nation of idolaters , he thought it would be better to abandon their dominion over it altogether . Mr . Maclean thought the policy of the Government would lead to the destruction of the Conservative party , and shake the foundations on which the glory of that country was based .
Sir R , Peel , in reference to the statement of Mr , Bankes on a previous evening , that the students of the College of Maynooth were implicated in the rebellion of 1798 , read extracts from several minutes of the college to shew that the trustees had taken the most stringent means to prevent their being in any way engaged in it , and expelled some of the students who were mixed up with that rebellion . He would take the state of Ireland from the speech of Mr . Colquhoun that evening . He would admit that neither life nor property was safe in that country — that there were 3000 priests scattered over the country , nearly all of them active agents of the repeal of the union ; and then he would ask the hon . gentleman — what was his remedy ? The hon . gentleman would not advise a withdrawal of the grant of
Maynooth . Everything had been done that could be done by the Executive for the protection of life and property ; the agitation had been put down , and the majesty ofthe law vindicated : and then was , in the opinion of the Government , the timo to introduce measures of conciliation , and ascertain whether any other means than those offeree couldbe appealed to with advantage . Although he could not help expressing his regret at the loss of the confidence of some of those who had given to his government an independent support , he must say that he would never consent to hold office on the servile tenure of shaping his views according to those of his political supporters . The measures of the Government with
regard to Ireland had been brought forward after the most mature consideration ; and he considered it of importance that the people of that country should know that—at any sacrifice—they were resolved to maintain the opinions which they had practically , placed upon record . It was said that the people of Ireland were by no means grateful for these measures , but when they were cutting up the trade of the agitators they must expect that they would evince their dissatisfaction . The right hon . baronet con . clndedby expressing his acknowledgments to those who were regularly opposed to his administration , but who had on the present occasion given him an honourable and disinterested support .
Lord J . Russell briefly explained the motives which had induced him to take the course he had adopted in reference to this measure , anil proceeded to justify the expectations of the Irish people that it would be followed by others of the same character , until perfect equality with tlie people of tliis country was attained . He referred to Lord Ingestre ' s declaration that he would have opposed this bill had it been broughtin by theWhigs , as an instance of the injustice with which that Government had been treated , and urged the present Ministry , as it was in no danger of similar treatment , to persevere in its present course . Mr . G , Palmeb made some observations , which were not distinctly heard in the general impatience of the house , on the unmerited insinuations which Sir It . Peel had cast upen the Mends who had so long supported him , and who now separated from hiin on conscientious scruples .
After an exculpatory remark from Sir R . Peel the house divided , when there appeared—For the amendment 181 against it 317 Majority 133 The hill was then read a third time . On the question that it do now pass , Mr . T . Buncombe rose to propose the following motion , of which he had given notice : — " And be it enacted tliat the powers aud provisions of this Act shall not continue and be iu force longer than the 1 st day of August , 1818 , and from thence to the end ofthe then next session of Parliament . " Taking the present state of public feeling into consideration , ho did not think that this was at all an unreasonable proposition . There had been petitions presented against this measure which were signed by about
1 , 300 , 000 , and only sixty petitions in favour of it , which were signed by about 16 , 000 persons . When he saw what he might say was the unanimous feeling of the country on one side , and the opinion of the house on the other , he felt that he had a strong right to ask for the limitation of the bill . The people said that if they voted this money in perpetuity , the house was exceeding its powers . They said that they had no greater right to take this grant out of the annual supplies than to vote in perpetuity any other of the annual supplies ; that they might as well make the Mutiny Act perpetual , as this grant . He believed that if this clause were adopted , it would act in the shape of a message of peace to many of the constituencies of this country . The hon . member having made his motion , The clause was read a first time . Upon the motion for the second reading of it ,
Sir R . Peel said that they should take a division upon this clause . There were many instances iu which votes of this house had been sanctioned by this house permanently from the consolidated fund . He could not think that tho introduction of the clause would have the effect of removing any great portion of the objection which had been urged against the measure , but would materially depreciate its advantages . He should give the most decided opposition to the hon , member ' s proposition . The house again divided , when the numbers were—For the clause .,,.. 145 Against it , 213 Majority against the clause —98 The other orders ofthe day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past two o ' clock .
Thursday , May 22 . At four o ' clock , there not being forty members present , the house adjourned .
London • Chartist Co-Operative Land Sche...
LONDON Chartist Co-operative Land Scheme . — South London Chartist Hall , Wednesday , May 21 . —Notwithstanding the tempostuous state of the weather , the wind blowing a perfect hurricane , and the rain pouring down in torrents , a highly-important public meeting was held in the above hall tliis evening . Mr . J . G . Dron was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings by calling on Mr . C . Doyle to state the object of the meeting . Mr . Doyle said the object of the meeting was to form a district of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; and he was happy to find that even the tempestuous weather had not damped their ardour in pursuit of the land . This effort to achieve practice on the land
was indeed the commencement of a new era in tho Chartist movement , and great credit was most certainl y due to the men of Lambeth for taking the lead in this important business , and calling the first meeting . The question was not a new one . It had been frequently broached by Mr . O'Connor and other persons , but this was tho first attempt of the people to reduce it to practice . ( Hear , hear . ) He might be asked , why a subject of so much importance had been left unattended to so long ? In reply to such a question , he would say the reason was twit the people were not sooner prepared . In the agitation of 1839 , the people evinced a desire to have their political rights ceded to them all at once , and to which they were justly entitled . Political fervour ran so highthat
, they would not listen to anytliing else ; consequently , the people knew at that time very little of the capabilities ofthe soil , and the means it might become of rendering them politically and socially free . ( Cheers . But now , fortunately , the minds of the people had made considerable progress ; and should this movement proceed in the good suirit in which it had commenced , he had no hesitation in saying that a very short time would enable them , by the society ' s means , to see a large number of persons located on the land , and the surplus labour market eased to a considerable amount . ( Loud cheers . ) The committee , in drawing up the rules , had so arranged it , that the ill-paid labourer could gain access to the society with as much
freedom as the well-paid artizan , the contributions being weekly 3 d . ' , 6 d ., and Is . or upwards ; and if the meeting he had then the pleasure o f addressing saw the project in the same light that he did , it was their duty at once to render every assistance , and by legitimate means endeavour to possess the mselves of at least a portion of their natural right—the land ( Loud cheers . ) If they only succeeded in allocating their first 2000 on the land ( and which he had no doubt they would effect in a very short time ) , it was incalculable the blessings this would confer . He thought it would be far better for the Trades to spend their money in allocating their surplus labour on the land , than to waste it in what was but too frequently vexatious and useless—strikes ( hear , hearr and surely it was far better to . enjoy the pure airlwith
