      The Only Business In Both Houses Up To T...

      Cathj'ic ,-riests—who eight do a great dc & l to prtY n . tioleace iftbtj wen si iuclhud . Bat Uwj bid beard lately of the speech of Archdeacon Laffan , in which the peopl : of England were a ' . igmafsed as 'Saxon scoundrels , who , if men enough , would , when suff ring the same ; rivations as the Irish , stand on one side , ana shoot every man who had a decent coat on bis back . There were four members ef parliament present when thatspeeck was m » de—among the rest the hon . member for Kilkenny—and not one of them had tb . ous . nt fit to make a reproving observation . ( Hear , hear . ) What was the raalt of such harangues * On Sunday morning a landlord was denounced from the altar ; in the evening that

      hewdssbot . ( Hear , hear . ) In another case , of M » ior M » hon , tbe unfortunate gentleman was denounced on Sunday , and on the foUowing day he was shot la his cferiage when r . ternin ? from his charitable labours . As to the amendment of the hon . member for Meatb , it was neither more nor less than a demand for n *> re monw . aad to that he , as the representative of one of the largest constituencies in England , should not accede until all the means within Ireland herself had been completely exhausted . According to tbe returns of the Poor Lai ? commissioners the rateable rental of that country amounted to fourteen mlffions—be believed tbat twenty was nearer the mark , and until that had bten fully taxed he would natconsentto any more subsidies from

      England . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr M . O'Cohneil said tbat the speech tbe house had jUSt heard was exactly such a one as was calculated to excite ( a frenzy the already inflamed people of Ireland . The boa . baronet bad been particularly facetieas on the subject of cert-da Irish members dy iog on the floor of tbe house . He ( ilr O'Connell } believed that tbe necessity for such an extremity would not occur , because the Irish members could , as they had done before , defeat any Coercion BUI tbat might be brought forward . Tbe hon . bart , had alluded to a certain speech nude by Arch deacon Liffan , bnt he bad only quoted the

      commencement ef tbat speech oratbng the conclusion , which deaonnced crime , and exhorted theneopleto peace and order . ( Hear , hear . ) It should ha- recollected also that the csmmencement of the speech , however Ul-advised it might be under other circumstances , had been provoked by the constant calumnies and abuse of certain English aswepapere . He wonld ask that house , did they think thatif the people of England suffered one-tenth ef the oppression tinder which the Irish laboured , they would h : ve remained quiet under it ! ItrS . Cbawfobd urged the paramount importance ef settling the Landlord anal Tenant question . ] Me washy so means satisfied with the assurance ofthe Ministers os the subject . Thej had promised the same thing hut year and had done nothing , ilr Heaghek defended Archdeacon Lafftn .

      S . r W . SohesVimb described at great length and in strong language the character ofthe present outrages in Ireland . A * to the Poor Law , its success in Ireland had exceeded hut expectations . It waa true that in some parts of the conntry the law might not in itself be sufficient for the purpose for which it waa framed , bnt tbat -was no reason why its provisions should not be enforced . The resources of Ireland should be drawn npon , as fir as they could gofer the support of the poor , and when the people of this country were confident that in any district their resources were exhausted , destitution still remaining unrelieved , be was sun that they -wonld come readily forward , as they had already done , to supply sack aid as might be necessary . Mr S . O'Bsizn supported the address and would vet e for' strong measures'for Ireland . Mr Fearods O'Cohsor said , that as tbis was

      confessedly the financial programme to the session , he -was not at all astonished to find tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer checking the exuberance ef the member for Drogheda . He could not see what great advantage the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer vroald derive from his financial programme , after the eommn . mc & tions which had been made by the right honourable gentleman , the Secretary for Ireland . Tbe object of calling Parliament together was to give stability to the money-market , and what had the right honourable gentleman told the house ? He hadansoanced the'facfc , that 2 , 600 . 000 panpers were sus - tained last year , whilst he made the appalling revelation , that the potato crop , usually valued at sixteen million ? , was this year valued at no more than four

      millions . ( Hear . ) Now , although tbe confessed object of the Irish Coercion Bill was to give stability to tbe money-market , and confidence to the speculator , he feared that this announcement , coupled with the rateable valne of the property of Ireland , as declared by the honourable member forMarylebone , at fourteen millions , wonld cause despair where hope was anticipated . ( Hear , hear . ) Here , then ; we have the astounding fact , that the whole property of Ireland was estimated at fourteen millions , whi ' e the deficiency , in one crop alone , was estimated at twelve millions ; and does the house suppose that that deficiency can be made good by coercion ? Bnt even this financial blonder of the right honourable Secretary for Ireland , should net have induced him

      ( Mr OC . ) to fate any part in tbe present discussion , bad it not been for the ill-timed speech of the honourable member for Northamptonshire . Bnt for that speech he would have accepted tbe invitation of the right honourable Secretary for the Home Department , and would have abided the coming of that discussion , which he assures us will be a fertile source of disputation . He thought the speech joat delivered by the honourable member for Northamptonshire , was most nnaenerous and most unfair , for if he ( Mr O'Connor ) were to describe raardera committed in England , he too ought harrow up the feelings of the house . But English gentlemen would not , therefore , seek for measures beyond the law to pat down such crimes in England . No

      man was more anxious to repress crimes in Ireland than he was , and more ready to assist the government in putting down crime , provided that thegovernment were determined that there should not be a recurrence of crime . They beard of coercion being asked f-r Ireland , bat improvement was never proposed by any of her Majesty ' s ministers . - ( Hear , heir . ) There was tranquillity in starvation and quiet in tbe grave , and as long as that waa the case there would be no improvement . The power ef the government was sufficient t o repress crime , and there was no necessity for coercion beyond tbe law . The caaseof " rime in Ireland waa misgovernment . He should not have risen but lor the harrowing and on . fair speech ofthe honourable member for

      Northamptonshire . He asked the government to solve this problem , which was to him a paradox , and until they did , they would bejustly chargeable with every crime committed in Ireland . How did it happen that with a genial climate , an industrious people—( laughter ) —he understood that laughter , but in spite of it he contended his countrymen were industrious , as they traversed the world in search ofthe lion ' s share of labour , while industry in Ireland was not only a tax bat a condemnation < f the industrious . Thus , the man who rented land at a pound an acre , and who by his industry increased its valne to 253 . an acre , induced the avarice of the landlord or the middleman to dispossess him , or to increase his rent by the value of his own industry , and now where ' a the laugh ?

      ( Ilear . hear . ) He repeated the question , therefore , how did it happen that with a genial climate , an industrious people , and a fertile soil , the Irish people , ia this age of progress , were so far behind other nations , not ^ so highly favoured—that they alone were retrograding , while other countries were progressing ia civilisation f He would solve the problem for them . It was because they had beea dmuherited , classafter class , until the government were obliged to ask for Coercion Bills , as salves for the woundsthem selves had made . What did government propose with a view of preventing the necessity of other Co-5- « ? B' » 8 ? Why did they not propose their remedies first ? The government had first disinherited the Church ; they fed the landlords

      nnrmtwpntvfive per cent , of the Church property ; the Free Trade party were then allowed to feed upon the landlords ; and now the honourable member for Northamptonshire had said the landlords were not able to feed the people without the help of government . IDC policy of government had ever been to make Ireland thebattie-fieldof political fa ctions , and hence , when tha charch became weak through exhaustion , and when the peopi & could no longer sustain it at war pnees , the political aid of the landlords was required , and the church was sacrificed . Then free trade became the political cry —( hear , hear ) --and its suppwtera achieved political ascendancy and , in turn , tbe Irish landlords , the English landlords , too . were Bacnficed- < kear , hear)—and when the railway mania had achieved the ascendant , the Free Traders , in tarn

      , must be sacrificed to the dominant party . This the policy that he { Mr O'Connor ) objected to ; this the withering system under which Ireland has been pauperised and England brought to the Tery brink of mm . The landlords had it in their power , he maintained , to discharge their duty to the people tiMnorriw , if they chose . There was just one mastergrievance ia Ireland ; and , if that wer e removed , it would do a thousand times more good than setting the people to knock down hills and dig holes . Give tbe tenantry perpetual tenure at a corn-rent and all would be right ; and until they did that , the Irish people wonld ba eternally coming to the government for assistance , and the landlords for coercion . They were constantly hearioe of the virtues of every man who was murdered , and the valour of the landlords butthey ought not to forget the starvation and suffer !

      ings oi tne people . Members ought to remember the r own avowal , that there was no other occupation bat hod in Ireland , and that land must be had : Be coa . d not joia in the eulogiams on the Irish landlords , fhej were not to be compared for a moment with the English landlords . And what w as the reason ? The reason was , tbat most of their estates were mortgaged ; and their manasementi was handed over to middlemen , in order that they themselves might reside in England or * <> r , ad . and those middlemen oppressed the tenantry . m would describe the system . An Irish middlerasn rented from a landlord , say a thousand acres of land ; he paid the lord a sufficient amount , by way of fine , to enab ' . e him to abandon his country and his duties , this gave the middleman a hold upon the land-Isrd aad a dominion over the tenant . He let 800 acres of the land at rack rents , reserving 200 acres

      The Only Business In Both Houses Up To T...

      and the mansion , which he kept in his own hand ? , and which the eerfswere obliged to culUvatf by free labour , supporting the house with fowls , eggs , and other provisions : giving tbo ladies' glove money , ' and tho bailiff'hush money , ' while the agent ofthe absentee was , in general , an attorney , who was allowed to scramble for the head rent , after the middleman had screwed his profit out of the miserable tenant , and this attorney had an interest in ejecting and persecuting the tenants . This man also became a magistrate , and was appointed to discharge those duties , which , of right , appertained to the owner of the soil . ( Hear , hoar . ) How could they hope that the Catholic population , the eutlawed nipulation of Irelandwould all at onco come to

      re-, cognise and respecttbe law . It wonld , indeed , take fenerations to do that ; but let the government proceed peaceably and progressively , and tbey would arrive in courseof time at this desirable result with , out Coercion-Coercion Bills would only check their progress towards it . It was a melancholy thing to think that tomorrow , on 'Change , the report of a new Coercion Bill for Ireland would raise Consols two percent . Ireland was the battle-ground of the Stock Exchange ; and g overnment was obliged to have recourse to Coercion Bills , as a means of propping themselves up . Instead of passing Coercion Bills let them set tbe people to cultivate the land . The land was something Let the government proceed tobasc their measures on a reality , and not a

      fiction . HewonldqBotethemottoofthe riehthon . member for T & mworth- 'The sciencei of agriculture was only in itsinfancy . ' He ( Mr F . O'Connor ) had msde this s household word in every cottage in England . He begged of them not to talk to him ot over-population , and emigration , and Poer Laws , while one acre of land in the country remained uncultivated . If when the land was cultivated to its utmost extent emigration should be found . to be necessary , he should agree to some measure of that kind , but not till then , as he considered it the paramount duty of the government tf a country to cultivate the national resources of a country , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) contended that so long aa one single acre remained

      uncultivated to the highest state of its capability , that every pauper waa a verdict of guilt against that government . ( Hear , hear . ) Why go to foreign countries for food that you could produce at home ? ( Hear , hear . ) And why have recourse to coercion , as a means of securing tranquillity , that improvement may fellow , when we have the avowal of the hon . gentleman who seconded the address , that we may not live to see , that the present generation , or the next generation may not see those promised imprevements , while coercion is immediate . ^ Isn't this hope for Ireland ? and was not bis incautious admission , that the cause of Ireland ' s dis * ess _ and poverty had been continuous misgovernment , a justification , i or at all events a palliation oi Irish crime , and a

      condemnation of English government ? ( Ilear . hear . ) And then the hon . baronet , the member for Marylebone , read a garbled extract , from the speech of the venerable Archdeacon Laffan , bat it was a practice with that profession to which he belonged , to require the reading of the whole of any document , that was adduced in evidence ; and he ( Mr O'Connor ) having read the whole of that doenment adopted it , justified it , and approved it , because in it , taken as a whole , he recognised the very strongest denunciation ef crime . ( Hear . ) He did not gather much comfort from the avowal , either of the right hon . secretary for the Home Department , or from the secretary for Ireland , when they stated that coercive measures were to be confined to the disturbed districts ; for tbe house might rest assured , that snch an application would be the plague spot which wonld spread throughout the length and breadth of the land ; the

      complaints of disease , pestilence , and famine , shifting their ground from the coerced to the uncoerced districts , until at last a national measure of coercion would be applied for . And the government must not mistake cause for effect , but if tbey hoped for tranquillity , tbey must remove the causes which have led to discontent . The Catholic people of Ireland cannot be won to affection by coercion , nor will the deep-rooted injuries , that they have received at tbe hands of British rulers , be banished from their memories by other than kindly and encouraging means . ( Hear , bear . ) In order to ensure a prooer representation ef the industrial mind of the country , and a profitable cultivation of her resource ? , he ( Mr O'Connor ) implored the English and Irish landlords to unite upon the establishment of same real basis , npon which the constitution may be founded ; it was impossible to stretch fiction to meet national

      requirements '; the hope of the nation could be only based upon a reality , and that reality was only to be fonnd in tbe land , npnn a system which would enable tbe cultivator to work willing task work everyday in the year , for his own benefit , instead of civine his slave labour grudgingly to another , lie ( Mr O'Connor ) called upon the government to lay a proper measurefor the adjustment of differences between landlord and tenant , upon the table of that hou ? e , for he begged to assure them tbat it was hopeless to expect to govern Ireland by abuse of the people and their priesthood . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not ask for such a measure as that concocted by the Irish Council , which was one jumble of complication from the beginning to the end , making confusion

      worse confounded , and , in short , asking for additional privileges to those already possessed by the Irish landlords . ( Hear , hear . ) He asked the government whether , after tbe confession of the hon . member who seconded the address , tbat Irish distress and dissatisfaction was consequent npon misgovernment , whether the necessity for eoeroion was not a condemnation of that government . He would now appeal to the different sections of Irish members , whether of the Irish Council , of the Old Ireland , the Toung Ireland , or the Confederate party , to merge their own little differences , whatever they might be , in one common feeling of patriotism ; and notwithstanding the tannt of the hon . member for Marylebone levelled at the deelaratisa of the hon .

      member for Kilkenny , that he could become a victim in tbe cause of Ireland if necessary , he , ( Mr O'Connor ^ al though aa _ English member , did not forget that he was an Irishman , and his resolve was now the same as in 1833 . to enlist as an Irish soldier , to resist coercionto the death , and if all the Irish members were impressed with his feeling they wonld sit in that house , stand in that house , sleep in that house , and die in tbat house , if necessary , rather thai allow their country to be coerced . ( Cheers and shouts of 'bravo' from the Irish members , which were- fo'lowed by a general cry of' Order , order . ' ) It was fourteen years since he first had the honour of a seat in that bonse , and he then , as now , told the ministers that , apart from all party and factions feeling , he ( Mr O'Connor ) would b ? prepared to give his assent and support to any good measures they raieht propose , and he repeated the same now ;

      but as they were not likely to propound those healing measures , they should have his most determined opposition . ( Hear , hear , and laughter . ) He repeated it , tbat in all good measures he was ready to aid them , but as tbey were not likely to produce those good measures they must expect his most stern opposition ; tbat was his answer to laughter , and it was good reason , sound justice , and good logic . But the present ministry was a weak ministry—the weakest ministry that every sat upon those benches—holding office npon toleration , and hoping to strengthen their hands by hatred to Ireland . ( Cheers from the Irish members ) Again he declared that he should not have taken any part in the debate upon the address , had it not been for the ill-timed , ungenerous , and figurative speech of the hon . member for Northamptonshire . ( Cheers , and cries of'Divide . ' )

      lirG » ATXAH withdrew his amendment , and after tha Chancellor of tbe Exchequer , in answer to Mr Herries bad promised a statement on tbe financial policy of the government on Tuesday next , which would give aa opportunity for a debate on the monetary question , the address was agreed to , and the house adjourned shortly after twelve o ' clock .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Widjjesdat , Nov . 24 . —The SrrtKBK tools tbe chair at fonr o ' clock , when several members were sworn , Numerous petitions were presented on the subject of the admission of Jews to . Parliament , pro . and een . amongst the latter was one by Sir R . Inglis , from clergy of diocese of York , praying tbat the house wonld not admit amongst its members those who regarded the Saviour ofthe World as no better than an impostor . Pooe Law Coukissioh . —In answer to a question from Mr Bankes , Lord 3 . Russell said tbat no appolntm .-nt had yet been made te the office of President , ofthe New Foot Law Commission . Until the necessary order in council should be made by her Majesty , the commie , sioners under the former act would be responsible for the conduct ofthe Posr Law .

      State of Ibelasd . —Capt . Habbis was anxions to hear from the Secretary for Ireland whether any steps bad been / taken for tbe trial of the two priests mentioned in the previous nght ' s debate—namely , the priest who had denounced Major Mahon on the day previous to his murder , and the other who en an inquest upon a murdered man admitted that he bad acted in a similar manner . Sir W . SoHEBvrtXB said that ao steps had been taken by government in furtherance of the object alluded to . Mr F . O'Connob wished to know whether any steps bad been taken to bring to justice the persons against whom a coroner ' s jury had found a verdict of wilful murder in 1834 . He alluded to tbe cases of Archdeacon Eyder , Mr Bagnal , and a Capt . Collis . Sir W . Sohebtjile said that the hon . member had better give notice of his question .

      TheCHAKCEixoB . oftheExcBSQ . OHi in answer to Mr Eob ' . nson , said the inquiry en the Bank Question was to be general , and would include all topics connected with the currency . The Admess . —On the bringing up of the report of the committee on the address , Mr B . Osbobsb reviewed the leading topics of the Speech , having : lost bis chance ef speaking on tbe previous night . After adverting te the Currency question , and our foreign policy , he defended Archdeacon Liffan , on account of his excitable temperament , and at having Utely suffered from ill-heath . With reference to Irish policy . He denounced the outrages prevalent in some districts of Ireland , which he declared were not wholly

      if an agraritn tharacter . Under these circumstances He was not altogether disinclined to strengthen tbe band * » f the Irish Executive , but btfore he gave his vote for a measure of coercion he mast first ascertain from ths go . vernmentwhat schemes for the social amelioration of tbe 'oantry the government intended te develop . Much stress was laid upon the beneficial effects of a Tenant ( t < ght Bill , but until they improved the condition ofthe labouring classes in Ireland , nothing could be effected for tbe improvement of tbat country , He regretted tbat 'he Speech from the Throne had not foreshadowed a bill io facilitate tbe sale of encumbered estates .

      Lord 0 . Behtikck called for definite information os to tha reason which had induced tbe government to pursue the disastrous policy they had done with reference to the commercial distress and the currency . He denied tbat there was any troth in the cry of tbe government and of tbe Free Traders , that the railroad speculations had created the distress in the money market . Mr Heywood said that £ 181 , 019 , 061 had been spent on railways , and that no country could stand such a drain ; he fergot to tell the house that that sum was spent in twenty years , and that only £ 85 , 000 , 000 had been spent in the period between 1840 and the present time . That was not more than £ 12 , 500 , 006 a-year ; and after the large sums which we had spent every year during tbe last war , and especially in tbe last year of it , it was

      absurd to contend that an expenditure ef £ 12 , 8 * 0 , 001 annually bad brought us to the verge of ruin . It was well that the Free Traders should have some scapegoat on which to throw all tbelr tins ; but bow was it that in tbe United itatei . in Belgium , Holland , Bavaria , Prussia , and France , where the same dearth had prevailed , and where large sums bad been expended in railways , the Ministers had congratulated their respective countries on having conquered all their financial difficulties ! Tbe difference between these continental Powers and England was , that not one of them had consented to abandon tbe principle of protection to native industry . Not one of them had reduced the import duty on the commodities of foreign states , without gaining reciprocal advantages ; and ihe consequence was tbat they were now carrying

      on their manufactures to the detriment of those of England , and were erenpnrchasing at Liverpool at the present moment mere cotton than at any former period . at a loss to the British merchant—cotton which was afterwards tobe worked up to meet the Bngliih operative in his own market . This was owiae to our want of credit , to our mosey laws , and to Sir R , Feel's celebrated Blbing letter . Whilst we had been contracting the currency and passing Bank Charter Acts to saturate the country with gold , France bad been contracting , not the number of her notes , but the sise ef them from £ 20 to £ 8 . Bavaria had been establishing isvlng-bank-notes on tbe one hand , and railway bank-notes on tbe other . The Empererof Russia had been sending away his gold and establishing thre * new series of bank-notes , each te

      the amount of £ 950 , 000 . We , on the contrary , had been restricting our currency on the one hand , and letting in free imports on the other ; and the consequence was that England , which in 1845 was seated on tbe loftiest plnnaelA of prosperity , presented in 1817 a lamentable spectacle of shame , bankruptcy , and disgrace . As to Ireland , he trusted the government were not about to present to the world the spectacle of one set of men turning another out , and then governing on the same priaciples whieh they had repudiated in doing so . He would reserve his judgment on tbe Irish measrnea ofthe government until tbey were before the house . Adverting to tbe subject of the slave trade , be animadverted upon the policy ef this country with regard to it : attributing to tbat policy its increase Instead of its sup .

      preision , and concluded a lengthened speech in the following terms«—For myself , I confess that I cannot see davlight at present . I know not what course we can , with safety , pursue , unless it be that of retracing our steps . The hea . member for Lancashire ( Mr Heywood ) said last night that he could see only one ray of sunshine to illumine tbe gloem and darkness which sur . rounded us , and that was to be found iu the circumstance of her Majesty having been whisked along a railway at the rate of forty . fire miles an hour . ( A laugh . ) According to the hon . member , ber Majesty passed like a bright star through the darkness ; bnt if he can furn - ish us with no greater bepe than is afforded by tbat cirenrastance , I fear that we have only the prospect of a melancholy fature before us . Oh I how changed are the

      auspices under which we commence this session as com . pared with those under which ths session of 1816 began 1 Then her Majesty permitted ber Royal consort to honour us with bis presence ia this bouse , asit were to swell the glory ofthe pageant—the sort of triumphal procession by which free trade was ushered in . Great promises were then made—high expectations were raised . I am surprised at not seeing here in his place the hen . member for the West Riding of York and the borough of Stockport ( Mr Cobden . ) One might have expected that hon . member to have appeared here to face the dangers and difficulties of the present hour . I think that if the boa : member were here he would deem it his duty to explain how it has happened that all his promises and vows had been broken . ( Hear

      hear . ) We knowthatin 1811 the hon , member delivered a celebrated address—one of those eloquent effusions which helped to make up the weight ef 116 tens of tracts circulated in the course of the Anti-Corn Law agitation—to the non-electors of Stcckport , in which he told his audience that it was necessary to abolish tbe 'im * pious and anti-Christian Cora Laws , ' and in two months from the passing ofthe bill which should effect tbat object , flour would be six farthings a-pound , whilst there would also be plenty of employment at advanced wages . The hon . member also said that every mill would be going , and ever j leotn in motion—that raw houses , new churches , and new chapels would arise in all directions , and , In short , that there would be no limit to the proiperityof tbe manufacturers and tbeirworkpeople . The hon .

      member further called upon all Christian men to put down the impious monoply which , he said , took from each of tbe persons whem he was addressing fourpenoe out of every shilling , which fourpence they ought to have to expend in the purchase of tea , coffee , and clothing . Yes ! the hon . member did not hesitate to declare tbat the unchristian Corn Law took one-third of their food from the wives and families ofthe poor in order to increase the overgrown wealth ofthe Subs of Buckingham and Sir James Graham . ( Hear , hear , ) I rejoice to see my right hon , friend in his place as large as life . ( A laugh . ) I rejoice to see my right bon . friend looking so well , fresh from the contemplation of those hoards ol wealth which the hon . member for Stockport gave blm

      credit for possessing , which is doubtless a more agreeable occupation than that of bestowing attention npon those miserable free trade measures which are now beginning to develop ? their fatal results . I also rejoice to ' see my right hon . friend on the present occasion , because , if I recollect rightly , contemporaneously with tbe address to which I have been referring , appeared another from my right hon . fritnd , aad his presence here proves tbat he has not become the victim of an imprecation which he introduced into that address . My rijht hon . friend in his speech to the electors of Dorchester expressed his horrer of certain changts then suggested by some persons , and exclaimed : — 'May I be cold before that dreadful day ,

      ' Pressed with a load of monumental clay 1 ' ( 'Hear , ' and langhter . ) And then my right hon . friend indulged in this apostrophe : — * When thou , imperial Troy , must bend , 'And see thy warriors fall , thy glorious end . ' ( Langhter . ) But to revert to the promises which were held out in 1815—how different are the results of free trade measures from what we were taught to expect 1 We were promised prosperity and happiness , instead of which we see nothing but ruined employers and starving ptople—starving in tbe midst of plentyfor have we not just thanked Almighty Clod for the bounteous harvest ? How different was the positlon *

      the conntry under the protective system , when we were content to pursue our prospsrons and wealth-making industry ia the old trade-winds of national and colonial protestion . ( Hear , boar . ) Then came the day when unfortunately , tbe trade aad commerce of this country —waBtoning , as itwere , ln their very wealth and prosperity— not content with the benefits which they possessed , mutt needs listen to the seductive language of the right hon . baronet , tbe member for Tamwortb , and tbe hon . member for Stockport , and to abandon the solid advantages which they enjeyed , for tbe meretricious tinsel of free trade . ( Hear , hear . ) Now how changed is their state : —

      1 , like a yoanker « r a prodigal , ' The scarped bark puts from her native bay , iffugg'd and embraced by the strumpet wind . ' How like a prodigal doth she return « With over-weath . red ribs and ragged sails , ' Lean , rent , and beggar'd by the strumpet wind . ( Cheers . ) Lord J . Russell , before alluding to the noble lord's speech , addressed himself briefly to some ef the topics contained in that of Mr Osborne . As to the sals of encumbered estates , he attached great Importance to a measure which would facilitate the transfer of estates so circumstanced ; and such a measure would , in all probability , be speedily introduced into the house . The same with respect to a measure to put on a better foot .

      Ing the great and important-relation between landlord and tenant . The government were , therefore , not liable to tbe charge tbat coercion only was in their mind . As to the mistaken nature of such a policy , bis mind was still unchanged . As to Lord G , Bentinck ' speech , Mr Canning's phrase , 'that much good indignation had been thrown away , ' was very applicable to it . It was only with a view to the general convenience of the house that tha Chancellor of the Exchequer had postponed hit explanation till Tuesday . The noble lord then proceeded to state tho reasons which had induced the government to summon Parliament together at so early a period . The fullest explanation would be given to the house of the circumstance which had led to the measure of the 23 rd of October , and of the consequences which had

      flowed' from that step—consequences which ia his opinion amply justified the government In what they bad done . The noble lord then' vindicated thecondition upon which " the Bank was to act , in accordance with the tenor of the letter of the 23 rd of October , viz ., to demand an interest of eight per cent , on discounts . As to Lord' G . Bentinck ' s rhapsody about Free Trade , and Us alleged connexion with the present state of tbe conntry , it reminded him ofthe old fallacy , tbat Tei . terden Steeple was the cause of the Goodwin Sand There was no more connexion In the one case than l » theother . Whatever might be our system of trade or of currency , revulsions in trade could notalwaysbe averted . And as to the effcot attributed to the corn importations last year , these importations were not necessarily the result of Free Trade , for they must have taken place

      The Only Business In Both Houses Up To T...

      I during the emergency through which we bad Just passed , ' ereauader the most prohibitory system . Wlthrespeet to the general state of the eonntry , it was not a » Lord O . Bentlnck alleged , one of shame or degradation , although It was undoubtedly ene of suffering , eut of which the country would rise sgaia to its former prosperity . There was nothing in the present state "; of the country to justify , despondency In eay mlod . As * to the revenue , he had no doubt but that the house would readily grant to the government all the supplies necessary to meet the exigencies of the public service . - If he entertained any

      hopes as to our speedy recovery from our present difficulties , it was not besause he had any great reliance upon anything tbat government ceuld do . His hopes were based open a broader foundation—upon the great and noble character of a nation , a character which had redeemed it on past occasions from crises ef a still more portentous nature than that from which it is now suffering ; and in following and aiding , as far as possible , the nation in working out it own redemption , the government of tha country would prove itself worthy ot the high trust which had been reposed in it .

      In the debate which followed no new point was taken up . Mr Robinson , Mr Bankes , and Mr Newdegate repeated , in their several fashions , the arguments which formed the staple of Lord O . Bentinck ' s speech ; and Mr Hume and Mr Labouchere re . hashed the commonplaces of tho free traders , Tho former gentleman , however , declared that though he had always opposed coercive measures for Ireland heretofore , he was now prepared to vote in favour of such measures . Mr Scott regarded tbo Queen ' a Speech in tbe light of one lengthened indictment against tho government , to which , as tbey themselves concocted it , they might be taken as pleading guilty . Every paragraph of it was a condemnation of the ministry . It condemned them in all that it said , and in all that it omitted tosay—the honourable gentleman evidently viewing it as not only indictment and plea , but as judgment also , a view of the matter which afforded considerable amusement to all parties present .

      The report was then brought up ; and tbe address was ordered to be presented to ber Majesty . Tbe house then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . Thpbsdat . —Earl Sfemcbk brought up the answer to the Address . The remaining business was of no importance . HOUSE OF COMMONS . Thobsday , —Jewish Disabilities . — Lord John Res . sell gave notice tbatthis day fortnight he would bring In a Bill for the further relivfof her Majesty ' s Jewish subjects from clviland religious disabilities . Rohah Catholic DisABitiTiHS . —Mr Ahstit moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law relating to Roman Catholic Charities . Also a Bill for the further repeal of penal enactments against Roman Catholics on account of their religion . Leave given . The house shortly after adjourned .
