CO » _-eSSiTIOK TO TEKAHTS ( _mttAHD ) _«!* . " lord StA > -u . v rose to move the first reading ofthe _bifl to Compensatiou to Tenants in Irelaud . He believed that there was nooi * o _* _AowouldnOtcoi * J * urintheopin lon thatthe grand remedy for some ofthe most prormnent _-fls nnder which Wand laboured was to provide

    _tekunerafive labour for her surplus popnlation . Thefe were onlv two mooes V _** _- * - _3 _*** CMil { 1 _*• _**** --either " bv _wnigration , which would rednce tho amount of " popula * _^ tt ! ia * lin ) its of _^^ _smeat , or by im * reasins the means of employment so as to make it _couimeusurate _witii the amount of the population . Forlu _^ ownpart he _didnotthinkaiatemigration , _^ hich in itself iras for many reasons objectionable , would be any suffitaent remedy & r tha evil , espedaUj as _^ Ireland had space enough and * to © are fbr hw ponnklioin ; but what she bid want waa capital for _mp _* lo _** men _' t , which could onlv be got either from the Crown , or from

    thelandloia . «¦ from the tenant . The third source , however absurdit might seem to some to talkon Irish tenants' _capi--tal , w _* ii flie most important of all , and to it the Government now proposed to turn their attention . That class of persons in Ireland werc often possessed of more money than fln-y were inclined to admit , and beades of another capital—their labour and industry . He compared the average size of fenns in England and Ireland , and after mentioning some of the more prominent evils of the Irish system , explained that the Government proposed by this

    tai to secure compensation for three principal kinds of improvements effected by the tenant—building , draining , -and testing . The noble lord then entered into a minute detail respecting these improvements , and the amount of compensation to be allowed for them , and proceeded to state that such compensation ' would only be secured to the tenant who was ejected by ; his landlord . It would also be necessary to provide inexpensive means of settling these claims between landlord and tenant ; and for tbis purpose it was proposed to establish an officer im Dublin , -with the title of Commissioner of Improvements , to whom

    au claims of compensation should De addressed in writing . This officer should then have the power of appointing Assistant Coinnussjoiiers _, who wonld be sent down to examine into eases , and make awards , by which means tenants would not bo put to the expense , of a journey to Dnhan . The Marquis of _Ciasbicabde said" no one could be expected tb pats an unhesitating opinion on a measure _whfoh treated the subject in such detail , but rejoiced at ti £ blll , as a means of relieving the Irish landlords from much of the obloquy that now attached to them , and saving them the trouble of finding agents for their estates , whose place ' would be supplied by the Commissioners . In to opinion , the bill would do very little towards rcmedy" tpg lie evils ' complained of . The Earl of Wicttow _eicpresscd his conviction that the bill was founded on justice , equity , and good faith _. Lord _Rosse thought the principle of the measure veiy objectionable .- . - -

    Tin * Earl of Devon said , it was a jgreat mistake to suppose that this " measure was meant " as a panacea for all the ills of ' Ireland . ' .

    -Tie _Duke'of-LEissrEa , a 3 a near neighbour of the college , said a _few-wx-rds in vindication of tne discipline and Of the System of instruction pursued there ; and lord _Clancorty then moved that the bill should be committed that day sis months , resting his opposition principally on the ' absence of proof that there was a want of funds at liaynooth , and upon the inappropriateness ofthe time at which the measure had been introduced . Lord Wicixtow expressed his obligation to the Government for the wisdom and courage they load displayed in _dmsin-r and proposing this measure , hut trusted that-he ought regard it as an ine _' ex of an intention to connect tne Soman Catholic Church with the State by means of an

    endowment . This was now only a question ot tune and mods ; the former was as propitious now as it ever would be , "but the latter was still one of difficulty . He objected either to charge the endowment upon the Consolidated fund or to take it from thc property of the Irish Church , but thought that if it were placed as a rent-charge upon the land , neither Parliament nor the landlords would bare a right to eon-plain . He showed that the plunder of the Irish Protestant Church within the last ten years would "have amply sufficed for this endowment , aud concluded Gy urging the Government , if they meant to preserve' tranquillity , to pursue their present measure , and be prepared next session with one for the endowment of the Romish Church .

    "Lord Titzwilliax concurred in the opinion that , after endowing Maynooth , an endowment ofthe Romish clergy would be absolutely indispensable . He agreed also generally in the -views of Lord Wicklow as to the source from which thc necessary funds should be provided , but thocghttii _^ t to avoid thc appearance of degradation , the _ministei-sj of _txkh _religious should be placed upon exactly the same footing . lord . Clascabti having withdrawn his amendment , Lord * v 7 harncliffe denied that the present bill was any earnest of the future intentions of Government . He had himself formerly expressed opinions in favour of an endowment of -the Itomish clergy , but it would not be prudent to propose sneh a measure unless it were in conformiry with the opinions of the English people . In tiie mean time _, it would be the business of Ministers to watch that feeling .

    The Marquis of _Bueadaibane trusted that the people Of England would take warning by this declaration ; and the biU having then rapidly gone through committee , their lordships adjourned . TflCESDA-i : , Jrss 12 . Loan Pobxuak , in a short speech , moved for leave to bring in a Mil for providing compensation to tenants for improvements . After a few words from Lord Beaumont , the bill was read a first time , and their Lordships adjourned . Fmbay , Svse 13 . STATE OE THE COUKTV _ttlTBlil . On the presentment of a petition respecting the disturbed state of the county of Leitrim ,

    The Marquis of _Clasbicat * --- reviewed the policy of the present Government in ;• . _« - -ad , which he contended was an entire failure . In J _. _oj . ration of his argument , he adverted to the ir . eeiij ; j now taking place in that country—the processions , speeches , and language of the newspapers . A portion of this effect had been produced by the reversal of the judgment of the Court of Queen ' s Bench in Ireland , in the case of thc late State Trials —* reversal which took place not on technicalities , bat on the actual merits . The noble marquis concluded by asking if the Government intended to renew the Party "Processions Act . After speeches from Lords Brougham , Denman , Campbell , and Farnham ,

    Lord _Staklet deprecated the course pursued by the Marquis of Glanricarde , iu not having given a sufficient , notice of a specific motion before entering into state * - taenia as to the condition of Ireland . He said it was not the intention of the Government to renew the Parry Processions Act . After some further discussion , the matter dropped . The business on the paper was then disposed of , and their lordships adjourned .

    HOUSE OF { JOMMOlfS , Mosdat , Jcse 9 . The house met at four o ' clock , when Lord £ . Hiii took thc oaths and his seat as one of the representatives ofthe county of Down , in the room ofthe lad of H 9 sboF 0 i * gh , who has been called to the House of Peers as Marquis of Downshire , on the demise of his fkther , the late marquis . Lord Ashley brought in his bill for regulating lunatic _atyhmxs in _England and Wales . It was read a first time , turd ordered to be _-ori-ated . The house was engaged for two tours at the early part of tha evening in considering the Banking ( Scotland ) Bill in Committee . On its resuming , tbe report was ordered to be brought np oh Tuesday , _nnsH _BAKsncc . SirB . P £ Ei * then moved that the house resolve itself int Committee on the Bantu **** ( Ireland ) Bill .

    Mr . loss _obsarved , ihat this lull { - ( fas & r more misthievous than he had originally apprehended . It placed a check upon the amount of circulation necessary to the _proiperity and security of Ireland , and that , too , at a time when trade and commerce were maMng large strides towards improvement in every direction . It abolished fractioaal notes fbr sneh sums as 25 s . or 30 s ., which were _feani extremely convenient at smaU markets in Ireland , and tiros _compelled the Irish bankers to keep a larger _Jtantiryof suverin _theircoflm _tiianhitherto .

    had increased one mfllion . He gave a most gratnylBg acconnt of the increased exports and imports which had taken place within that period in every port in that country , but more particularly in the northern ports of Derry and Belfast , and expressed a hope that nothing would be done , either in direct or indirect legislation , by Government to impede this incipient prosperity . SirB . Peel wished that he could impress on the minds of Irish members , who seemed to believe that capital consisted in an excessive issue of paper , the conviction that no country in the world would derive gr eater benefit than Ireland from an improved system of banking . No country had -suffered so much from a bad system as Ireland had . He knew from his own experience that the most heartrending and wide-spreading distress hud arisen in the

    west and south of Ireland from the simultaneous breaking of the banks in those _tetricts some twenty or thirty years ago . It was , therefore , necessary to found the currency on the certain and immediate convertibility of its paper into gold . Even its joint-stock banks—which werc more recent institutions—had not been well conducted . For instance , the Agricultural Bank , by tbe innumerable branches which it had established , and by the excessive issne of its paper , had affected eveiy local bank in that country . There was ono joint-stock hank in Irdand , wM _** hhadbi » nmo stadrjm _* aWi * conducted . That was the Provincial Bank ; and yet that bank had been most injuriously affectedby the Agricultural Bank—for it had been obliged to be always ready with a considerable quantity of goldfor a run . In 1837 the Provincial Bank had in its coffers aquantityofgoldgreaterthanitsissues . All that gold came from the Bank of England , and was principally supplied from London and the branches of Liverpool and

    Bristol . He showed that at that time the banks of Ireland were compelled by the conduct of the Agricultural Bank to provide themselves with two millions of gold , merely for the sake of protecting their own credit . He was going to relieve by this bill those banks from the constant necessity ofbeing provided with that immense ameunt , not to gnard against their own incaution , but against the incaution of others , and from fhe dreadful suspense and anxiety in which all banking concerns in Ireland had hitherto been involved . He then proceeded to defend fhe details of the bill , and to point out the advantages which it would confer upon Ireland by abolishing _thecscIasiTe privileges ofthe Bank of Ireland , and by opening to all the other banks the power of competing within the hitherto restricted limits . All thathe asked was , that if there was in Ireland that increasing prosperity which required an increasing circulation , tbey would provide for the security of it by assigning some portion of banking assets tothe provision of a certain portion of specie .

    Mr . E . B . RocHfc- observed , that , though he was not going to throw any impediment in thc way of this hill going into cimmittee , he could aot refrain from stating his opinion that there was no { necessity for the interference of Government with this subject , and that Sir R . Peel had made out no case for it . "Mr . _Beothotoh complained of the manner in which this bill took the average of the circulation of Ireland , and contended that it must operate injuriously upou that country . Sir E . _Ferscbon considered Ireland to be unfairly treated by the restriction which this bill imposed on the amount of its currency . Lord Clements objected to a portion of the bill , because it appeared to him to steal a march on the banks of Ireland , which was injurious to their interests .

    Mr . S . _CaAwroBo submitted to the revision of thehouse both the immediate effects and the ultimate object of this bill . Its ultimate object was to assimilate the currency of Ireland to that of England , and to abolish the banknote circulation in both countries . The restriction on a paper circulation in favour of gold was not , ih his opinion , a benefit to En f land , and therefore lie was unwilling to _aiclmltate Ireland to England in that respect . Besides , the circumstances of the two countries were different . "England was a rich , Ireland was » poor country * , and the immediate effects of this bill would be to check thc circulation of Ireland at present , and to stop the credit which had been so judiciously afforded to industry within flie last year bythe banks of that country .

    Mr . "Wise maintained that there were clauses in this bill which carried out its principle too far . In his anxiety to restrict the over-issue of paper . % B . Peel had not provided any means for securing _tHt expansion of issue which must follow the development of labour and capital . He also thought that as fhe bill contained no provision for the formation of new banks , it would act as a monopoly in favour of the existing banks . The house then resolved itself into the proposed Committee . In the Committee some discussion took place on the first clause , and an amendment was moved upon it , which the Committee negatived upon a division . The other clauses of the bill were then agreed to , and the house having resumed , the report was ordered to be received on Thursday next .

    THE HOUSE AW > ITS " PBIVrtEGES . " Sir Vf . Gossett , the Serjeant-at-Arms , then appeared at the bar , and acquainted tbe house that in the case Of " Howard v . Gossett , " execution bad been levied on Saturday last , the 7 th instant , for £ 43612 s ., being the amount of damages and costs iu the suit , On thc motion of Sir K . Peel the communication just made by the Serjeant to the house was referred to the Select Committee on Printed Papers . The other orders of the day having been disposed of , the house adjourned . Tuesdat , June 10 . The house met at four o'clock .

    REFORM BILL—EATING CLAUSES . Mr . T . Duncombe gave notice , that on Tuesday , Jnly 8 , he should move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the rating clauses in the Reform Bill . He begged sSso to ask the right hon . baronet , thc Home Secretary , when the report and evidence furnished by Mr . Rogers ,-the Government inspector , with regard to -the conduct of Mr . Briscoe , a county magistrate , in imprisoning a mau named Price , would be _for-Uii _» min g / a 3 _Nhe _-Bndei-stood that the ' report had been prepared and Sent in , Mr . Rogers liaving returiied to town ten days ago . . Sir J . Gbaham - - assured the hon . member he had _wmve 4 . iio -reportsuch as he had referred to , and that he was totally misinformed on the subject . -Mr , 0 . GpRE presented 115 petitions against thc present Corn _Laws ' . Mrv Meles presented several petitions from Somersetshire , complaining that the agriculturists had not sufficientprotectio _* h .

    _-- .., .. . . . ; GORN LAWS . Sir .. VirxiiRs . _moved . for a committee of the whole house for the purpose of considering his resolutions for the abolition ' of all restrictions on the importation of foreign com . After taking a review of the declarations made by . Lord' "John Russell , Sir James Graham , Colonel Wood , ' and others on this subject during the present session , he proceeded to _congratulate himself on tbe improvement of his position in bringing forward these resolutions at present , as compared with that which lie occupied on similar occasions iu former sessions .- There was now a general admission on the part of those os both sides ef the house that it had become the duty of some member of Parliament to test the opinions of the

    mostuifluentialpartiesinParliamentonthisquestion ; and , therefore , he now came forward to contend that thc Com Laws were wholly unsuited to the present condition of tiie country—that they never had a laudable object in view—that at times they had proved most injurious to the labouring classes—and that the sooner they were abolished the better . The object of them originally was to make land dear ; and that object had been consistently pursued in all the legisla tion wliich had been adopted since . The farmerwho had been declared on high agricultural authority to be a man of very contracted views—had been deluded into the support of these laws by the fiction that price meant profit . He had , therefore , given his vote in support of those gentlemen who told him

    that high prices meant high profits , and against those who told him that if he trusted in such a fiction he would find himself _wofnlly disappointed . He wished to call the attention ! of the farmer to this question—who wcre his friends , and who were not ? Hc wanted the members of the Agricultural Protection Society , and more particularly Mr . S . O'Brien , who had its resources at his command , to explain how it was that the farmer was in his present distressed condition , considering the protection which had been so long afforded him , and how it happened that the farmer differed from any other capitalist . He thought that Mr . O'Brien was precluded on this occasion from saying two things at least—first , that it was owing to the recent measures

    of her Majesty ' s Government that the fanner was in distress , for lie had been subject to similar distress at different periods during the last thirty-five years ; and , secondly , that the landlord and the farmer wcre _swininiinginthesame boat together , for the landlords were in general well off , and had not made any reduction in their usual luxuries and establishments A veiy intelligent farmer had told him that the agricultural body would be well satisfied if he could draw from any member ofthe Protection Society an explanation of what was the matter with the farmers and why they were so often indisposed . He then proceeded to ridicule the language used by speakers at agricultural meetings in different parts of the country , and to show that such meetings were now ai-riibag' & emsdvesmto two classes—one consisting of landlords claiming from the Government further legislative protection , and the other of farmers claiming from their landlords something very

    different from legislative protection . That fact had led Mr . Cobden to declare that protection was injurious to agriculture , and to move for an inquiry to test thc _correcfapss of tbat declaration . That mot ion was refused , and the house was told by Mr . S . Herbert to trust to her Majis _^' s Government , and to see what would happen . Great improvements in our system of agriculture were said to be required , but it -unfortunately happened that before they could be made , the landlords required further protection from the Government , and the tenants further consideration from their landlords , and neither the Government nor the landlords would grant what was -required of them . Those who were anxious to provide a further supply of food for tbe population were told to wait , and therefore they were obliged to inquire whether the improvements for which they werc to wait had any chance of being accomplished . He entered into a long argument to show , that so long aa the present system continued there was not the ¦ slightest _Gua & ce . of \ hm improvements being ac

    compliihed . There was therefore no likelihood of providing from domestic sources that adequate supply of food which the population required . What , then , waa the reason thatprecludedus from providing it from foreign , sonrces . Those who were interested in the _mauitenancewftthe Corn Laws had been guilty of a premeditated attempt to deceive the people on this subject , by stating in 3 undry publications that this foreign supply would makefood cheap , and that if food were made cheap , it would reduce the wages of the people and injure them accordingly . " He hoped that those who cheered that statement would come forward that evening and refute the speck of Sir James Graham , who had triumphantly shown on a recent occasion that the poorwere better off , and that pauperism

    and crime had materially diminished , owing to the recent decrease of prices . The fact was , that when you rendered the price of food high , you threw twothirds of the labouring population of Great Britain out of employment . A scarcity was said to be a curse inflicted on a country by God ; but ought we , when we createascarcity by our faulty and imperfect legislation , to attribute it to thc operations of _rrovi- ' denee , who has " filled the earth with good things ? The existing Corn Laws and the Canadian Com BiU had not been passed to increase the supply of foow for the people , but for special reasons , and they had nothing to do with the present agricultural distress . Sir J . Graham had told the House that there was an annual increase of 380 , 000 souls in the population of

    Great Britain every year , and had admitted that some relaxation must be __ made in the Corn Laws in Er oportionto the future increase of . the population . ir J . Graham now said that he did not make that admission with that view . Be it so . Then he ( Mr . _Villiers ) would say , that it was not the annual increase in our population , but the enormous amount of destitution and distress in . the countryevinced by the fact mentioned by Sir J . Graham , that we had 1 , 500 , 000 paupers last year—which required the alteration he proposed in the Corn Laws . He showed that , if an unfavourable harvest , or a period of scarcity , should recur , there were circumstances which would make the pressure of them more severely felt bv the country than it had ever been

    formerly , inasmuch as the standard of living had been much exalted both at home and abroad , and as many countries , France and Belgium , for instance , which had been exporters , were now importers of com . Besides , their legislation had discouraged agriculture in every country in Europe , and there was not a grain ofcorn grown upon the continent at present with a view to the English market . Moreover , the recent alteration in our hanking system would render the revulsion more severe on the manufacturing interest , whenever it should become necessary to export bullion ; and whenever they were first compelled to send for com , they must send bullion , or else submit to a most ruinous fall of prices iu their manufactures . He was at a loss to know what plea

    would he urged by the Government in reply to his demand , on behalf of the people , for free access to means of subsistence . If the Government should either plead the pressure of local taxation , or the peculiar burdens on land , he would reply , " Bring us in at once an account of what is paid on those scores , and we will show that it is _farlessthanthe Joss which the people sustain every year owing to the restrictions on their supply of food . " He called upon the Government to indemnify tfiie landlords in any way they pleased except that of making the food ol the people dear . Mr . Oswald seconded thc motion in a brief and forcible speeeh . Mr . CHBisiorflKRniOTed a direct negative to this

    motion , which he considered to be at once impolitic and uncalled for . No complaints had been made recently respecting the high price of food , and he was convinced that if the poor themselves were consulted on that point , they would declare themselves content with the present prices . The present Corn Laws had been enacted to prevent fluctuation in prices , Mid had been eminently successful in effecting that _( Njject , as there had been less fluctuation under them than under any former system . The repeal of those laws would not be attended with the beneficial results which Mr . _Viiiiers anticipated ; for no reciprocity in foreign countries had followed any other of the relaxations which we had recently made in our tariff . There was no risk of our population suffering

    any privation , or of our manufacturers sustaining any loss from the want of exchange and intercourse with foreign states owing to the operation of these laws , as an immense amount of corn had been imported into the country during the last two years , under the existing duties , _audaeorrcapondmganiountof manufactures had been exported to pay for it . Mr . Mitchell expressed his intention of supporting the motion of Mr . Viiiiers , because it condemned emphatically the sliding scale of the present law , which operated in many respects most _iujui'iously to our foreign commerce . He showed that tho Zollverein had been instituted in consequence of our Corn Laws , and that , owing to the Zollverein , which operated almost as a prohibition on our manufactures ,

    we could not get corn from Prussia unless we paid for it in bullion . That bullion was in consequence withdrawn from our circulation ; and as soon as that was done , the Bank was compelled to put on the screw for its own protection . That depressed the price of our manufactures , and aggravated the distress which was likely to prevail from other causes during a time of scarcity . Hc had been told that thc crop of this year had already sustained consider able injury ; but , be that as it might , it was at any rate a backward crop , and a backward crop always subjected the country to great risk . The object of those who advocated the present Com Laws was to make the country independent of any suppl y of foreign corn . But had they considered , supposing that our crop failed in

    the ensuing autumn , where the requisite supply was to be got ? Europe was completely drained of corn . These was no chance of obtaining it in the Mediterranean . In the northern parts of Russia a famine was prevailing at present . In Odessa perhaps you might procure a million of quarters , but no one dared to send out an order for corn eithor to Odessa or to our more legitimate market , the United States , at present , because nobody could say what , the effect of the duties would be before the corn ordered from those markets arrived in the harbours of England . It was therefore possible that we might have such a

    price of corn next autumn as we had not had tor many years . Mr . Mitchell then proceeded to explain the reasons wliich had converted liim from a partisan of a moderate fixed duty into an advocate of the total repeal ofthe Cora Laws . He recommended the house to legislate upon this subject at present , when it could legislate calmly , and not to wait for a time of destitution and distress , when it would have to yield the repeal of these laws to clamour and intimidation . Mr . Buck made a stout agricultural speech in favour of the existing Com Laws , and deprecated the constant but ineffectual attempts of Mr . Viiiiers and his friends to repeal them .

    Mr . Mark . Philips supported the motion , and exhorted the house to come to a speedy , solution of this question , wliich was at present keeping all the great interests of the country in suspense . Sir J . Gbaham said , that notwithstanding the sneers to which he had been exposed for the speech he had lately made , he would again declare , that the prosperity of agriculture must depend on the prosperity of the other branches of native industry , aud thatthis prosperity would be most effectually promoted by giving an uninterrupted course to the natural flow of native industry . He would not deny that it was his opinion , that by a gradual and cautions policy , it was expedient to bring our system of Com Laws into a nearer approximation to those

    wholesome prmciples which governed our legislation with respect to other industrial departments . It was , however , his conviction that suddenly and at once to throw open the trade in corn would he inconsistent with the well-being of the community , and would give such a shock to the agricultural interest as would throw many other interests into a state of convulsion . The object of every Government , without distinction of party , for the last-twenty years , had been to substitute protecting for prohibitory duties , and to reduce gradually protecting duties where it had them to deal with . He approved this as a safe principle , and showed that it was the keystone of the policy of Sir R . Peel . Mr . Viiiiers had stated that the Cora Law of 1842 had not been

    introduced with any new of diminishing the protection attached to the agricultural interest * but he read an extract from the speech of Sir R . Peel in proposing it , to prove that he proposed it explicitly as a decrease of the protection which the home-growcv previousl _y had , Mr . _VUIiera had talked of the delusions practised on the farmers ; but he reminded Mr . Viiiiers that there could be no greater delusion than to hold out to the people that they would on the long run gain any considerable advantage in the price of food from the repeal oi the Cora Laws . He also combated the doctrine of Mr . Viiiiers , that under a system of protection no improvement had taken place , or could possibly take place , in the agriculture of thc country . He showed that England ,

    with a population the double of that which it possessed fifty years ago , now provided food for it with fjater ease than it did formerly for half the number . Mr . Viiiiers could show him , that free trade with open ports would produce a more abundant supply to the labourer , hc would make liim a convert to the doctrine of free trade in com . Hc confessed that he p laced no value on the fixed duty of 4 s . proposed by Lord Jolm "RusseU ; it W 0 "ttlu be Of 110 avail as a protection , whilst it would be liable to all tlic obloquy ? r FJ _?*?^ dut _y ; ant * - _* " _^ erefore agreed with Mr . Mitchell , that if wc got rid of the present Corn Law , we had belter assent to a total rbheal . He

    thought that the probable quantity of com received with open ports was greatly underrated , and argued from statistics that it would displace one-eighth of the produce of Ireland , and in England the clay land , which was most costly in cultivation . The displacement of the labour expended on that land would in itself be very disastrous ; but it was also the oldest land in cultivation ; it iad been cultivated for wheat , and it was therefore liable to a very heavy annual charge for tithe . If it were converted into pasture , its value would be very inferior , and the tithe imposed upon it would be more than its rental . He proceeded to demonstrate at considerable length other injurious consequences which would , result from the

    House Of {Jommolfs, Mosdat, Jcse 9. The ...

    sudden change proposed by Mr . Viiiiers . It . would produce not only great panic among the agricultural interest , but also a great diminution in the demand for agricultural labour . If 600 , 000 or 800 , 000 labourers should be thrown out of employment by it , all the machine of government would be so thrown out of order , crime and pauperism would increase to such an extent from destitution and distress , that the shock must be of a most convulsive character . He concluded by giving his decided negative to this motion .

    Mr . Bhioht was at a loss to discover whether the speech which Sir J . Graham had just delivered was intended to give more hope to the Opposition , or more consolation to the Ministerial , side ofthe house . Sir James had evidently been endeavouring to say one thing in one part ofhis speech , and to unsay it in the next . In the commencement he had been a furious free trader—in the close he had brought forward in a mass all the fallacies ofthe Protection Society . It was time that this imposture should cease ; _forsolong as it prevailed the country would bo involved in a perpetual agitation . The question of the repeal of the Corn Laws was now only one of time . He would score off every part of Sir J . Graham's speech after that sentence of it which contained thc annunciation

    that free trade was the keystone of Sir Robert Peels policy . Let the county members reflect upon that , and let them remember that if Sir R . Peel gave the word for the repeal of the Corn Laws , they had no power to prevent it . He then _gaye a histoiy and eulogised the proceedings of the Anti-Corn Law League , the annual contributions to which had increased from £ 5 , 000 in the year of its birth to £ 110 , 000 in the present year . Hc knew that when they went to a division tliey would be in a minority , but minorities in that house had often become majorities ; and he did not despair of seeing that result produced again , knowing , as he did that the Corn Law created nothing , and blighted everything . Mr . A . S . O'Brien observed , that although Mr . Viiiiers had challenged him to rise and defend tho

    publications of the Protection ( society , he was too old a fish to rise at that fly . Hc merely rose to show that he was not unwilling to do justice to the great taste and skill displayed by the manufacturing classes in the arrangement of the bazaar recently opened in Covent-garden . The agricultural legislation ofher M _^ esty's Government was not sufficiently popular with the farmers to induce a county member to stand up in its defence . The last person , however , whom the county members could blame for it was Sir "B . Peel , whom they had placed and still kept in office . Drii _Bowbi 8 « supported the motion , as did Mr . Cavsnmsh and Lord _Ebbjwoton , who briefly explained the reasons whichinduced them to abandon their former opposition to it .

    Mr . Cobden said , that the question mooted by Mr . Viiiiers had not been met , but had been systematically evaded during the whole of the present debate . The question was—first , had they aright to restrict the supply of food for thc people ; secondly , was it true that they had a law to that effect ; and , thirdly , if their Corn Law was not to that effect , what was its purpose ? He asserted that tho Corn Law did restrict the supply of the food ofthe people , and called upon the members for Dorsetshire and other agricultural counties to deny it if they could . If they denied it , thenhe , cailedupon them to explain whether the _labourinff classes in their respective districts

    were sufficiently and wholesomely fed , and if they were not , why they were not ? lie then proceeded to prove thatthe present system of Corn Laws was not only injurious to the community at large , but also to every portion of it . Hc denounced it as rash and perilous , inasmuch as it had left us with no more than 200 , 000 quarters of corn in bond at a period when Europe was drained of eorn , and Ave had the prospect of a backward , not to say a failing harvest . If those laws were repealed at once , he believed that rents and mortgages would be better paid than they were at present , and that fresh land would be'taken into cultivation , instead of old land being thrown out nfit .

    Mi * . G .. Bankes defended the existing Corn Laws , aud exposed what he called the historical errors into which Mi * . Cobden and Mr . Viiiiers had fallen . They had declared that for thc last thirty years the state of the labourers had been growing worse and worso . To that _doclaration he replied , that for that period exactly protection to' agriculture had been growing less and less . He also showed that the fluctuations in the price of com in England had been still greater when the trade was free than they ever had been under a restricted system . He attributed thc burdens wliich now pressed upon the landed interest to the expenses of the ware which William III . had carried onto increase the glory and to promote the commerce of England , and considered it very

    untair in the manufacturers to seek te take away from the landed proprietors that protection which they had now enjoyed for many years . Lord John _Russull _irdulgedin several pleasantries upon the speech of Mr . Bankes , but commented with severity on his admission that thc condition of the labourers of Dorsetshire was still most deplorable , and deserving the commiseration ofthe house . He then pointett out thc inconsistencies of which Sir James Graham had'been guilty in his speech of that evening . Sir James had told them , that industry ought to have its own course—that what was true of manufacturing , was also true of agricultural industry —and that protection was injurious to the landowner . He had , therefore , expected that Sir James Graham ,

    if he did not go along with him in his proposition for a moderate fixed duty , or with Mr . Viiiiers for a total repeal of the Corn Laws , would at any rate propose some scheme by which the existing protection would be diminished , and by whichsome advances might be made in that approach to free trade which all parties deemed so desirable . There was nothing in Sir James Graham ' s past conduct to render such a supposition unnatural , or such an alteration of his policy impracticable . From that point , however , he suddenly started off , and used against the motion all the arguments which had ever been urged in behalf of Corn Law protection . With regard to the motion of Mr . Viiiiers , he had only to observe , that his first two resolutions were in accordance with , those whicli he ( Lord J . Russell ) had proposed a few niehts ago

    and as his hon . friend proposed to consider in committee his third resolution— " that it is expedient that all restrictions on corn should be now abolished , " he ( Lord J . Russell ) felt himself at liberty to go into committee with him , and to consider in what way a relaxation of the Corn Law should bo made . The Corn Law , , as it now stood , was vicious in principle , and could not be long maintained in its present condition . He saw its fall indicated , not only bythe vigour of the attacks made upon it , but also by thc feebleness of the defence offered for it ; and he therefore warned the country gentlemen to pause before they allowed an impression to bo made to their disadvantage in'the minds of their fellow countrymen , by the constant repetition of the remark that it was only kept up to enable them to keep up tlieir rents .

    SirR . Pbel , after Borne remarks upon Lord J . Russell ' s intended vote , proceeded to observe that experience proved that the high price of corn was not accompanied with a high rate ol wages ; for thc rate of wages did not vary according tothe price of corn . If he could believe in the predictions of Mr . Cobden . his objections to an immediate repeal ofthe Corn Law would be greatly alleviated ; but he could not , and therefore he must proceed in pursuance of his own policy to reconcile the gradual approach of our legistion to sound principle on this subject with the interests which had grown up under a diftcrent state of things . He then proceeded to defend _xiie existing Corn Law and tariff , and to maintain that under their operation there had been a great revival of domestic

    industry and foreign commerce . He did not think that tho existing Corn Law was liable to the objections urged against it . He did not think that the predictions of its failure had been verified , and therefore he was unwilling to accept thc proposition of Mr . _Villiei-s . He did not defend thc Corn Law on thc ground that it was a protection to any particular interest . Hc admitted that it would be impossible to maintain any law on thc ground that it was intended to keep up rents ; but looking to the obligations of the landlords , he thought that any such change as that which Mr . Viiiiers suggested would , if suddenly produced , tell injuriously on them , and still more injuriously on the large and numerous class of the cultivators ofthe soil , and others connected with them .

    Lord Howick called attention to the fact that not one word had been said that evening by the Government in contradiction to the first two resolutions of Mr . Viiiiers condemnatory of the principles and policy of the present Corn Law . Ifthe last resolution had been thus worded , "that it is expedient that all restrictions on corn should be gradually abolished , " the speech of Sir R . Peel would have been an admirable one in support of it . After a brief reply from Mr . Viiiiers , the house divided , when there appeaved—For tho motion 122 Against it ... ... 251 _Majority against it —• 132 The other orders of the day having i _> een disposed of , the house adjourned .

    "Wedsesdat , June 11 . - The first business transacted was the passing the Statute Labour ( Scotland ) Bill through a committee . The committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was postponed by Mr . Watson to Wednesday week ¦ Mr . Liddell having moved the second reading of the Dog-stealing Bill , a long conversation ensued-Mr . Hume opposed , and Captain Berkeley andMaior Bcresford supported the bill , as also did Sir J . _Giaham . Mr . _lVarhurton , Mr . Watson , Mr . Ricardo , & _^ AAt f _^ x Mr 1 B - _^" opposed { t , and Mr . LidM _s reply _^ only called forth another cnorus oteppositionfrom Mr . Forster , Mr . Bright , and Mr . Hawes . _. On a division , however , the second reading wm earned , , and Sir J . Y . Buller then moved thi second reading of thei County Rates Bill . Mr . M . Gibson opposed , and Lord Ebrington supportd it , and after a short conversation on the bill , in wliich " j ?• r » r , Mr ' Brotherton , Mr . Henley , Mr . Hume , and Sir J , Graham took a part , the bill was read a

    House Of {Jommolfs, Mosdat, Jcse 9. The ...

    second tune , and was ordered to be committed no Friday week . On the motion of Mr . Mackinnon , the Smoke Prohibition Bill went into a committee ; but in the course of a short discussion onthe first clause , the House was counted out .

    _Thobsdat , June 12 th . The Banking ( Scotland ) Bill was read a third time and passed . The Lord-Apvooaie then moved the second reading of the Poor Law Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill . Mr . Ruiukbford should have been glad to have given liis support to this bill ; but his objections to it wcre so extensive that it was impossible for him to allow it to pass its present stage without bringing them under the consideration of the house . His first objection was , that it would not lead to a satisfactory and permanent adjustment of tho great principles involved in it . His next was , that it gave an imperfect appeal to thc courts of law to put into execution the machinery which it provided for the relief nf the noor . His third was . that the mode of

    assessment which it provided was left in the hands of Ihoao who had an Interest in keeping the assessment do . vn . His fourth was , that the remedies which it provided for the present insufficient relief granted to thc permanently disabled poor werc in themselves inadequate . His fifth was , that the Board of Supervision erected by the bill interposed between the pauper and thc Court of Session , and prevented hini from obtaining adequate relief without its permission ; whilst it placed no check whatever upon the parish , which had an interest in resisting his appeal . His sixth was to thc manner in wliich that Board of . Supervision was constructed . Thc mode of rating laid down in the bill was also anything but equitableand was totally unfitted fbr the

    , present circumstances of the country , as it was not laid on the property , but on the inhabitants of the district . Indeed , the bill itself might have done well enough two centuries ago , but at present it was calculated to promote great litigation , injustice , and oppresion . He also expressed strong repugnance to extending tho period of residence necessaiy to obtain a settlement to seven years . An industrial residence of three years appeared to him to be sufficient , and of seven years to be too long . It was eminently _ _dcfective in not providing adequate medical relief to the disabled poor suffering under the extremity of disease , or the violence of accident . With respect to the able-bodied poor in Scotland , he believed that

    hone of them , as the law now stood , had any right to relief . There was , however , some doubt on the point , and this bill should settle that point authoritatively one way or the other . He would not propose that this bill be not read a second time ; hut before he could give it liis support it must be amended , either in a committee of that house , or in a committee upstairs . Colonel Wood expressed his concurrence in the opinion of Mr . Rutherford , that residence for seven years was too long a period to be fixed for the period necessary to obtain a settlement . Mr . S . Oiuwi'ord considered this not as a Scotch , but as a national measure . He pointed out the unpardonable defects of the present law of Scotland , in not affording adequate relief to the indigent and

    distressed poor . He condemned the system which prevailed in Scotland of exterminating the inhabi tants of whole districts for the purpose of converting those districts into extensive sheepwalks . He called the attention ofthe house to the statements on that subject whieh have recently been published in the Times . He then explained his objections to the bill in detail , and pointed out the clauses constructing the Board of Supervision and regulating the right of settlement as particularly exceptionable . Mr . Looh complained of , what he called , tiie misstatements in the Times , respecting the condition of the labouring population in the county of Sutherland . Having been acquainted with thetenantry of Sutherland for the last thirty years , he could say that no

    tenantry had ever been thesubject ol greater anxiety to their landlord during the whole of that period . The Lord Advocate said , in spite ofthe objections of Mr . Rutherford , he considered that this bill would be productive of great advantage to Scotland . He thought that it could be passed through the house in thc present session j and if the house would allow it to go into coinmitteo , he would listen with the greatest attention to every suggestion which might Be ofi ' ered for its amendment . He then defended those _clauses of the bill which provide for the regulation of appeals from the local authorities to courts of law , and showed that they werc calculated £ o prevent oppression of the poor on ll & one hand and undue litigation on the other . He also defended the system of assessment provided in thc bill from the objections urged against it by Mr .

    Rlltlierloru , and insisted that great advantage would accrue from tliat combination of parishes wliich his learned friend had so strongly condemned . With respect to the proposition for providing medical aid tor the poor in the remote and thinly-peopled districts of Scotland , he stated that in his opinion it would be verv impolitic to have surgeons distributed throughout the country , and paid for the purpose of attending on the poor . Mr . Rutherford had also proposed that discretion should be left to thc parochial authorities to afford relief to the able-bodied poor in case of sickness . Under such an emergency the able-bodied man would fall into the class of occasional poor ; and this bill made provision for that particular class . He concluded by declaring his conviction that there had been no defect in the bill noticed by Mr . Rutherford wliich might not be amended in the committee .

    Mr . Hume thought that the objections of Mr . Rutherford to this bill had been very fairly met by thc Lord-Advocate , but recommended the Government to send the bill to a committee upstairs . After a speech from Mr . Colquhoun , Mr . E . Ellice , jun ., expressed his general concurrence in the views of this bill so ably expressed by Mr . Rutherford . He then denounced the existing state of things in the northern parts of Scotland , into which he had looked himself " , as a disgrace to a civilised countiy , and complained that there was no power in this bill to put a stop to it . Whatever might have been the cause of the clearances in that part , of Scotland , the- condition of the population proved that those clearances had not led to good .

    Notwithstanding the observations of Mr . Loch to the contrary , hc must repeat that it was deplorable . He knew it to be so , fur hc had witnessed it himself . It was still worso in the west highlaLds _, where the population was growing up in a condition perfectly disgraceful to the country . He complained that tho bill was lamentably deficient in the relief which it gave to the distressed poor . He did not look upon this bill either as an efficient or as a carefully concocted measure ; and he therefore asked the Government to let it stand over to another session . Mr . P . M . Stewart regretted to find that Government was determined to press this bill through Parliament during the present session ,. because it waa utterly insufficient for its own object—the relief

    of thc poor . It was no improvement on thc present system ; on the contrary , it was calculated to deteriorate rather than to ameliorate the condition of the poor of Scotland . It was a bill for the lairds and heritors , and not for the poor of that country . Sir J . Graham said , if the principle of the bill was defective , it ought to be rejected on the second reading ; but , after the extensive inquiry whicli had taken place before the commission , any further postponement on the pretence of additional inquiry would be a mockery . The Poor Law of Scotland was excellent in itself , and defective only from

    mal-administration , to correct which the present bill was introduced , and for which purpose he believed it would be found efficient . Mr . F . MdimE said , that if he only regarded this bill as a landed proprietor he would not say a word against it ; but , looking at it in a more liberal sense , he regarded it—and it would be so regarded in Scotland—as a bill not so much for the benefit of thepoor as for the protection of the rich against contributing too much towards the support of the poor . He thought it vvouid be advisable to send it to a committee up stall's , or to postpone it for another session—a proceeding whicli would not be veiy detrimental to the poor of Scotland .

    After some discussion , in which Mr . P . Borthwick , Jfr . E . Ellice , Mr . Miles , Mr . Hastie , Mr . Aglionby , and Mr . Collett took part , The hill was read a second time ; and on the motion that it be committed , Mr . F . Maule moved as an amendment that it should be referred to a committee upstairs . Sir James Graham appealed to Mr . F , Maule to withdraw his amendment , and said that he would fix Monday se ' nnight for going into the bill . Iu the meantime Government would consider the objections urged against the bill , and on Thursday next the Lord Advocate should print his amendments , and lay them on the table of the house . After a few words from Mr . P . M . Stewart , Mr . Fox Maple withdrew his amendment , and the arrangement proposed by Sir J . Graham was agreed to ,

    Friday , June 13 . Sir J . Graham moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee of the whole house upon the Colleges ( Ireland ) Bill . Ills object was almost formal , being only for the purpose of introducing thc money clauses . Mr . IV , S . O'Bbiek commented on the bill , and on the fact that thc Catholic clergy had not _beon _eonsultedbtifotre its introduction . He warned the Government , that unless the bill was sanctioned by the Catholic clergy , it would fall to tho ground , a dead letter . Mr . _CotQcnoiw commented on thc course pursued by Mr . O'Brien , whom he designated as deputy dictator of Ireland , in absenting himself from his Parliamentary duties , and only re-appearing to opposea measure of concession to his countrymen .

    Mr . Roebuck attacked Mr . w . S . O'Brien for having , in Conciliation Hall , challenged the English gentlemen in that house with having the intention of corrupting the intellect of Ireland by means of this bill . It was a bad return to those gentlemen who had triumphed over their own religious prejudices , and who had to combat with their constituents who were opposed to their views—it was a bad return to those who were making such serious sacrifices , to be told they were acting with a view to corrupt the intellect of Ireland . Repeating such trash might gain approbation in Conciliation Hall , but would be met

    House Of {Jommolfs, Mosdat, Jcse 9. The ...

    by a different feeling in that house . The intense per _sonality of the whole speech called up Mr . Vf . S . O'Brien , who commenced by saying thaiM , Roebuck had given utterance to the accumulated venom of three months . Sir R . Inolis immediately rose to order , and an an ' mated scene ensued , wliich was terminated b y the _hous " resolving itself into committee , with thc view of giy _* _,,,, Mr . O'Brien an opportunity of formally replying to tli attack of Mr . Roebuck . e Sir J . Gbaham then moved , " That a sum , not exceed ing £ 100 , 000 , be issued out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland , to de fray tho expenses of establishing new colleges for tt-,-.. " vancement of learning in Ireland ; and that an _annu-i sum , not exceeding £ 21 , 000 , bo also issued out of the said Consolidated Fund , to pay thc stipends , prizes , cxliib _* tions , and other expenses of the said new colleges . " '"

    Mr . Vf . 5 . O'Biiien then rose and replied in bitte terms to Mr . Roebuck ' s attack . In so doing he said * ' looked upon that hon . gentleman with the most _unuttet ° able cOHtempt , and would accompany that feeling iyj t | . . " expression of intense pity . _m Sir R . Ikolis again rose to order , but Mr . O'Brien voluntarily retracted the expressions Subsequent _^' , however , he dealt in others ofa very stron description ; after which thc matter dropped . * " * The discussion on the resolution was theu iirocccded with , and it was ultimately agreed to without a division The house resumed , and the report was ordered to bbrought up on Monday .
