factious design or feeling whatever , bnt solely by the d . __ _-. to _promatetbe highest intemts of _thecouutrj . He _rrooeht forward this motion with no vague desire of ____ g blame on the government—much of which he complained being incident , almost necessary , to the way in which the buBiness of tha country « _-. _ conducted . His sola otfect was -o gather wisdom from the past , and to _praTeat _, it passible , the calamity of another such session ever again occurring , fl * would first allude to the actual _bUIe which had passed—he was going to say unhappily but a very limited compartment of the pietun > lehadtopreseat * but be would say happily—for worse _ _*_ _uaxe _ than those wbich bad Become the lawof __ land , especially three measures relating to Ireland , had never passed in any previous session . He had a right to can these measures calamitous , not only froth _pastorperieace , bat from the results which had arisen since those measures had passed .
Here his lordship was interrupted by a conference with __ ___ n __ _s , Use result _ which was shortly afterwards stated by Earl Grey . The noble and learned lord said tbat wh < _ _interrupted lie was about to state shortly what were Uie substantial measures which bad passed , and wbich really formed tbe whole produce of t _ e session . In she first place , there was the English Poor-law Bill , upon tvhich he hadal-_ e _ 4 y _ _ e _ h *_ o __\*_ iott , _J * ano therefore , would not now trouble their lordships with a single word beyond the expression of bis hope that tbe measure might work well In this respect , much depended upon the appointment that was made to the office of chief commission-r . Hi * trusted that the individual who would be appointed to tbat responsible office would be possessed of two q _ualitit s
—first , firmness to carry into _eg-ct thc great principles ofthe law , andof beingutterryincapable of ba-iog deterred hy clamour , raised either by the press or in parliament ; and neat , that he wonld have the capacity to expl * un and defend the measures snd orders originating in tlie department of Which he Waa to be the head . The next measure Of substanoe which had been passed had relation tothe sister kingdom . By that measure this country had taken upon itself the duty of leading the people of Inland for a time , which was undefined . It was said that the distress iulr __ i _ w ___ c _ t , but seeing the am _» -ntofreltefw __ h _wasnow afibrdtdin six commies « . Ite _ . it seemed tbat somewhat more than one third—tomethin _^ between one-third and _one-hslfef tlte whole population of Ireland were in a destitute
condition ; and that , atthe present _ oraent , 2 900 000 and _oddperssns were receiving the means of sustenance doled ont to them from the _coSers of the Treasury , by pai _ officers appointed for that _purpose . When « as this _Jj-teta of relief to cease f fie ( Lord Brougham ) looked with _desp alarm to its cessation . That was the most perilous part of the question . Ic warn said that io a month or two the system was to cease , and lhat tbe peojale of Ireland were to be thrown upon their own resources . If so , when he prayed God to help these poor people , he must add ta his prayer , that peace and _tranquility wonld be maintained . The evil bad been commenced by training the Irish population to _bec-ma beggirs , and much was to be feared if tbe eleemosynary _assistnnce which had in their destitution been _affardrd them was
suddenly withdrawn . Of the £ 10 . 090 . 000 lent to Ireland , bat nerer io be repaid , according to the odious and des . _picable doctrine of repudiation imported across tbe Atlantic into another place , not more than from £ 800 000 to £ _ _3 , _ . was now available , and yet with all the probabilities of distress auadeatitation continuing t . «_ i- _ i _ Ireland , a vote of credit bad not been asked for . H « * _contended that having begun this system of relief , tlie government ought , at was the case daring the war , to bave ask-ifor a vote of credit to be applied to the contingency which migbt arise . In fact the government bad provided for the months of April . Hay June . July _, and _Anput , but _"woraer _*' mouth , were to come , and forthe contingencies to which they might give rise , he ( Lord Brougham ) contended that , b _ ore the session
_elosed , the government ought to take a vote of credit . _ he neit measure of substance which had b _ n passed lras the Factories Bill , a measure , in his opposition to which he had received tbe support « _. the lord Chancellor , of the First Lord ofthe Admiral * , . the Earl of Auckland ) , and of bis noble friend the now _Lord-Lica * ____ of Ireland ( the Earl of Clarendon ) . Within tbe last three days , event * had happened which showed a result that did not require a prophet or a seer to foretell , sanely , that if the hours of labour were reduced , the redaction of tbe wages of labour must follow . The hours had been reduced _ com II to 10 hours , and wages had been consequently reduced from 13 d . solid . These were the great mem . sores which tiie legislature bad passed is tbe course of
. the session _afeoau to _expiry aad without wishing to say _Mything disrespectful to their lordships , he mutt wish them joy of the three very worst measures that ever received the sanction of parliament He had now _disposed of measures which had a substantial existence , and he sow came to deal with the puny infants whicb bad been abandoned almost attheir birth . Tbe _firstof these was the contemplated provision by the state for Roman catholic clergy . The abanSoament of tbat measure be deeply lamented . He desired , unpopular as the seart-_ ent might be , not only that such a provision might be made for the Soman Catholic clergy , but also , that there _flhoa _ be established amicable relations between this ountry ant the See of Rome . Another measure , whic _' . i tad not pissed the threshold of the legislature , was the
Polling at Elections ( Ireland ) BUI . That measure only ttw the light on the 21 th of June , and its premature fate _coald not he doubted . The next measure was the _Par-Itszaentary Electors Bill , containing provisions which ware highly equitable and most appropriate to be passed now that the country was oa the eve of a general election . This measure , important as it was , had been abandoned by its unnatural parents . Then , again , the Incumbered Estates ( Ireland ) Bill had shared the same fate ; and , lastly , there was the Railways Bill . The reason why parliament interfered with railway concerns and mot with others , was , that the country was acorvd witha network of _thosa undertakings , in the nextpiace that the old mode of travelling had b _ n done away witb , 6 ___ which , the great risk of accidents , so fatal in
their extent , made a police superintendence absolutely nec ? _= _s- _* ry : and lastly , _because ths legislature granted 8 monopoly to railway companies whioh were expending millions of capital , and taking away _people's property in _ compulsory manner , which the legislature alone could gnat . When a railway undertaking bad the power of going in a straight line , tbat conld only be done by com-_ __**_ _• persons to allow xhtm to go through tbeir land , and this gave parliament an admitted power to interfere with tbem . Accordingly a bill was brought in , which had been put off till _naxt session—that morrow wbich might never come , because the next session would be the first of a railway parliament . and if there we _ an cb . a __ of carrying rucb a measure now , what would there be then ! There would be no hope that it would past next
session ; and be lamented tbat it was pnt off till then , j He now came _ another subject , which had b « en re _ _ - ] mended in tbe _speechfrom the throne , in which parlia- j neat was recommende-i to adopt measures for improving the means of guarding against pestilential disease , aad generally to consider the subject of the Health of Towns . ( Hear , hear . ) A bill was brought in oa the **_ . _* _, and very early . Sow of all the towns in _Eng'___ ., the one -whicii most required this , and catted most xmperativ . jy on parliament to accede to the _recomraecdation in a speech from the throne , and which felt most the effects of doss packing , filth , stench , and pestilence , and w _ ic _* t ought to bave been tbe mast thankful for the . ' commendation from the throne , and for its adoption , was ihe City of
laondon . "What was the first thing that was done * His noble friend at the head of the government , b _ ag member far the City of London , withdrew that city from the Mil ; and although London was the original cause ofthe bill—of the appointment of s committee and a comm ' _is-___ to inquire into sanitary reform— -if escaped from this bill . But still , the omission of London from this bill was no reason why it shonld not have been applied t . Other towns . However , the bill , after lingering in a atate of _exhaustion , and then of suspended animation , suffered a death-struggle , and went tho way of all the bills of this session , except those which were not good , and wbich had a pernicious vitality abont them . He had a ' great esteem for bis noble friend who had charge
Of that hill , and he was sorry to res him so roughly handled ; bat he believed he only yielded to the _necessity _* __ . _<__«___ . _ , _ Then there was another bill of great importance—the Thames Conservancy Bill , lt was one almost of national importance , for it concern .- tbe navigation of that great river , which was ot such great importance to our mercantile interests . Tbat bill also was withdrawn , as was the Prisons' Bill , and two bills of less importance , the Scotch Marriage Bill , and the Sill for the Registration of Births , Deaths , and liar . r » age =, ia Scotland . He bad uow come to the last , and lie found himself surrounded by a whole troop of the ghosts of bills . AU these shades of bills gave a painful recollection of what they migbt bave been had they lived . It was most unfortunate tbat this wholesale
impotency should exist , and be thought tbat a strong government which one did not like very well would be better than snch a weak one . The constitution was not to be charged with this defect and weakness . It was related by __ _ho _ Burnet , that William the Third said to him thathe doubted whether a monarchy or a republic was the best form of government , tbat there were excfi _ cni arguments on both sides , _andue could notmake up his mind on the subject ; but of one thing he was sure that anything was better than a monarch without power . So he ( Lord Broug ham ) said of a ministry whose impotency incapacitated them from perforating the duties of a government . A weak government which eould not carry a single measure ef itself _ ra _* d not possess that power of giving protection to the people which was the essence of their allegiance . He sincerely hoped that he migbt never live to see sueh another session or fate he _Bntait B U
to sea bills meet witb such a ¦« the land Incumbrance ( Ireland ) BiU , and the Health «_ Towns' Bill . He _heoed he might never see bills _ t «_ ted , aa _a « peciaHy one of _sueb importance as that wMchhadbr _ nrec _ ninenaed hylhe < iueenm _* aMBpte _ i from the throne , and which her _Majesty _' s representative at Baris fannied over to this country to support . He hoped the next election would tee the government _atrengthened by the voice of the people , enhanced by its merits in the affections of thc p __ le , a ud backe 4 by snch majorities in both bouses , that the ** * should be no _donbt cf tbeir __ . _ — ___ tl : ey may tea _S _**^* *" m & nt SO supported as to make clear their responsibilities aa a government , responsibilities which did not now rest upon them , but were di ___ , between tbem and tu * people . . His hope and trust was that tbat want of re * - _poasibility would cease for ever whin parliament was restore- _ . its __ _ff __ j bv an election , and tbat they

would never see again , and bave to lament over , a session to disappointing and so ruinous tothe character oi the ministry and hurtful to the reputation of the conntry at large . He begged to move thai " an humble _addr-ss be presented to her Majesty , _ xpr __ o _ the deep _interest _~ h , _» this h . nsefelt m the object !

" t 0 wh _* «* royal assent could be given : thatit was painful for tho house to tnat

" _TheJfarquessof L __» dow «_ defended the administration , of which be formed _ part , from the charges of incompetency and feebleness , and ftll back upon tht _preoadtntsot many other sessions whose results bad been as
comp etely _bknk as those of the one just closing . After ailndiogtothe defunct bills of the session , and particuiarly totkeoneforrcgalsting the health of towns , his Inrdship _rec-. rred once more to his precedents , and adduced tbe celebrated examples of the Test and Catholic BelirfActs , 4 s showing how important bills might be protracted and delayed , without proving tbe present weakness of a ministry or the final failure of the _measure The noblo marquis concluded by meeting tbe motion with m _negative . Loral _BaouoHiB _oriefly replied , and , tbe motion having been negatived without a division , the house adjourned at a quarter past eight o ' clock HOUSE OF COUMO _ S .-. Bi __ es in 1 i _*_ u . —Sir It . H . Incus inquired whether there was any truth in the _ra-port that the home government had _discouutenancrd the introduction of bibles into the native schools in the presidency « f Madras ? Sir . - . C HoitlOOSE Said that orders for
their-introdnction had been issued by the _ ar <_ _u _« of Tweeddale _, but the Court of Directors bad considered tbat tbe natives might be alarmed under the idea that _proselytum wat to be _encouragad . Tbc -ate _Co-ti-BT __ r __ ie ! - _ — In answer t » a question from Mr Hindu ., the purport of which wasnot heard . 8 ir : _ , GxeT laid be very much regretted that tbe anuritestion some days ago for a eompeteut perSQR tO attend on b » fia ( f of the government at the coroner ' s _inqn- 'st , to which bis honourable friend alluded , bad hot bi-en ac .-edupon The usual course was for Sir Henry De la _B-cbe to attend himself , or to order a competent ] person to attend for him , on the occasion of accidents in mines , and at bis ( Sir 6 . Grey ' s ) request , bis noble ! friend , the First Commissioner of the Woods and Forests _, communicated with Sir H Be la Beeheon the subject . Owing , bowerrr _, to tbat _gentleman hariog been j _absent in Wales , the communication was not a __ aupon .
Witb r _« rd to the accident , he migbt state tbat he bow held in his band the letter from the magistrates to whicb he had aduded on a former day , but which he did not then read , * % U * ___ ht b - considered tbat hie doing so would tend to influence the inquiry then pending . The inqu . st having now terminated , he might now state that the document , which was signed by five magistrates , wbo bad inquired into the matter , stated that the explosion wa * the result of a workman—who was one of the suf ferert—having , contrary to tbe express orders of the proprietors , used gunpowder ia the mine . Tbat a search was comma ced . five hr . _urs after the acc _ ent , and _continua-d until all hopes were abandoned of tke persons in tbe mine surviving , and tbat it was not until the people were couvinced tbat none of the sufferers could be alive that the mine was closed . He believed the ease bad been thoroughly investigated , and that the result showed that the airptoeto- had been caused by the carelessness _ofODB ofthavictims .
Dismiss .-. - or __ Le _»_ 8 GiBJiBB . —Mr T . D-ncombe _m-e to bring under the ___'» - . of the honse the petition of Robert Grapes , complaining of dismissal from bis office of letter carrier ; and he was sorry to find that certain returns on the subject , whicb he bad moved far a fortnight ago , had not yet been furnished . The petitioner . complained that he had tw _* -u dismissed , not for misconduct _, bnt because heha . been _iostramental in producing _ctrt-ia reform * in the Post-office , and exposing some _dshoiest practices in reference to the '' Post-office Dirt-dory , " and other matters , H <* ( Mr Duneombe ) bad received a great deal of the information which be had laid before the bouse as to the malpractices at the Post-office Lorn Crapes , aud tbat man bad been _p-rsecnted ever since , until finally be had b _> en dismissed upon a most trumpery pretext , after having been seven year * in the establishment , without a fault having been found witb I him . The hon , member concluded by moving that an j inquiry should be made into the allegations of tho petitt m . I
Hr P _ _a _ _sa regretted that from inevitable delay the returns to wbicb the bon . member alluded were not yet ready . With reference to the dismissal of tho petitioner , it appeared that the Postmaster General , _haviai * _institute an inquiry , bad good reasons to be satisfied that Grapes bad prevented a man called Watts from giving ; bis testimony against some men wha had been tried at the Old Bailey for the _embezzlement of letters , and for that reason he bad been discharged . The papers wbich the hon . member bad moved for w _. _auld , however , shortly be before the house , and the faots of the case would then be more fully known .
Mr _PaoTHEEOE thought that the management at the Post-office most bare been very faulty , when it appeared that tbe authorities thera bad not come to any decision with respect to an inquiry which bad commenced in _November _, lie would pi onounce no opinion respecting the charges which bad been brought by Crapes against the Post-office authorities ; but if it was true that he bad been dismissed without knowing fur what reason , tbe parties who dismissed him did not pos _< *« tbe ootnmonast sense of ordinary justice . A great deal of mismanagement arose from tke carriers being obliged to collect information for Hr Kelly's book . Tbat was now , however , divorced from , the Post-oGce , and the carriers were no longer obliged to hawk it about . He thought tbat Grapes was entitled to know for what _reassn be was dismissed .
Hr Hnme said that it « as » most eerions question whether a poor man was to be railed for doing a service to the country—for exposing abuses . Any man who would inform against hia _-apmoii _ou- _^ ht , instead of being _puisyhed , to he liberally rewarded . Sir D . L . Evan * objected to this < toc _ -an _* . Mr ______ beiievrd Robert Grapes had b „ nn _ rul In exposing many abuses , and that he had not been fairly tried by tbe Post office authorities . The Post-office altogether was most oppressively and obnoxiously managed , and no one who complained conld get any redress . He hoped , durlnr tbe recess , government wonld direct in-I anirieB into these matters . Tbe CnA & CEUo- of the _ErcntQCEK denied that Crapes had not yet had a fair bearing , but begged the house to forego discussion till the papers were before them .
Mr T . Dckcokbe replied . It was wholly false tbat _Graphs bad tampered with witnesses . Tbe charges against tbe man were altogether tramped up by _„ l y _, wbo had openly said be would give £ 1 . 090 to secure the man ' s dismissal , and whose anger and vindictive feeling Grapes had incurred by endeavonring to _exposehis delinquencies . Grapes was dismissed to gratify that man ' s malic .. K . llv was the bane ofthe Pott-office , and as iongas he remained _nothing , wonld go on well . There bad been nothing but jobbing duiiog his administration , and be was the greatest _ry-aut that ever presided over a public office . ( H . ar . ) Next session he should certainly move an inquiry into Post-office management , and particularly into Kelly ' s department . The motion was * then , by leave , withdrawn .
Whilst tbis debate was going on , it was interrupted for a short time by the necessity of sending a reply , to the House of I _ rdi _ which has negatived some of the cianses in tbe Passengers Bill . This lead to a very dull and , save to tba parties themselves , a very uninteresting squabble between Lord G . Bentinck , the Chancellor of _ _* _. Exchequer , aad Mr Hawes . ia _constqueace of Lord ( J . _Bentiu _; complaining that by . an amendment which Earl Grey , as Secretary of the Colonies , bad made an tbat bill in thc Douse of Lords , a compact formed between bim _ lf , the Under Secretary of tbe Colonies , and tbe chancellor of tbe Bxcbtquer in that bouse , bad been violated and set aside without any notice having been given to him . The _Chancellor of tbe Excheqaer and Mr Hawe 3 denied that any such compact as Lord G . Bentinck had represented bad been made , and pretested against the language employed by Lord G . Bentinck . Sir B . Inglis interfered ss a peacemaker , and after some remarks i from _MrW . Browne , Mr Hndson , and Mr Henley , the conversation dropped .
j sc . _snx—_ r lloire , after relerring to the manner in ' wbich onr _possession of Scinde had . heen acquired , which I he said was ntija & t , and to the expenditure for its _reten-I tion , whicb was ue _ ess and _unntcessary , inquired whe-! ther tbst _c-inmry was to be hereafter assimilated witb the other provinces of the Bast India Company , to be a \ Qiu- _ _s colony , er to remain under military _govern-| ment . sir j . c . Hobhouse vindicated the « _ i _ _v _ of aVltt _ p _* __ - i _ttes ' who were implicated in tbe _ctnquest of Scinde , and ! stated that after the return of General Napier Scinde would be annexed to tbe government of Bombay . _A _ r _ lC _ * t * C-NTBIBOTI 0 KS _ 0 IbJSH RELIEF . —Mr _Bso-THEKTOS moved an addr _ _s for a copy ofthe letterfrom the Secretary of State for foreign affairs _ - ber Britannic Majes _.

lir Bho-bs seconded tke motion , and _mntfaned tbat part of the contributions came from the Indian population of tbe far west . Viscount _PititEES-ros passed a warm _enloginm upon tbe prompt munificence exhibited by the people of the United States towards the distressed populattoa of Ireland—a benevolence not only moat _. aluable io its ir » - _mediate results , but which was calculated U increa-. c kindness and good will betwetn the two coMUries .

arose from t ime to time , let but tbe voice of distress be raised by the men of England , _wbethir on their own soil or as emigrants to the western continent , and the hearts and purses of the men of America were at once opened by tho appro * . ( Hear , hear . Ji The motion was then agreed to , _Bsshding or _Dbs-rtebb . —Mr Hohe moved for " a return Ofthe number of soldiers of ber Majesty ' s land forces , cavalry and infantry , that have been marked as deserters , stating the number in each regiment iu each of the last three years ; also , a copy of any general orders by the commander of the forces respecting branding ,
now iu force ; similar return for tbe marine forces ( if any ); similar return for ths navy ( if any . " The bon . member said he did not know until recently that tbe practice of branding—not burning , but markingdeserters existed in the amy ; but it appeared that an order had been issued by the Horse Guards directing tbat tbey should be branded or punctured with the letter "D" Indelibly impressed . He was aware tbat It was very important to discountenance desertion in the regular army , at the same timo be _tbonght it very dis . creditable to mark , men as beasts were marked . He did not _hoow whether the practice existed iu the marines and navy .
Mr F . Ma CLE said , he had expected that the returns , to which there was no objection , would have been moved by his hon . friend without any observation , but as bo had not done so , he ( Mr F . Maule ) would make a short statement to the house upon the subject of marking deserters . No doubt , many years ago there did exist a very improper practice of branding men for desertion , that was , after a man deserted a number of times ; but this was never done without a sentence _ofacourt-martial , never at the discretion of the commanding officer . The hoase would see that it was absolutely necessary
that soma means should exist by which a man practising desertion should be known again , and no other means had been discovered , especially since tbe lash had _bsen discouraged , but of marking the man witb the letter "D" which was _nothing more tban a kind of tottooicy , which sailors voluntarily underwent . The deserter was tattooed with tbe letter "D" by tbe point of a needle fixed in cork . He had no ohj .- tioa to the returns moved for , and a copy of the order from the Horse Guards should ba included . ' The motion was then agreed to .
Tbe Bev-npe . —Lord G . Bkntwcx , moved for certain - 'returns showing the comparative receipts of re . venue in the years ending the 5 th- ' day ot January 1843 and 1847 from those items on which _reductions of duty have , andbava not , in the interim taken place , and distinguishing any increase of _retenu * trom the lust alteration a _ the sugar duties . " Ha said within a few days a state paper had been Issued to tbe-lectors of Tomworth by Sir R . Peel , iu which a statement was made as to the effect and operation of those measures which he had recommended during the last six years . As that statement , if left unrefated , might have a very dangerous tendency at tbe _comlHg elections , he conceived it necessary to meet it with a direct contradiction . He then took a long and very complicated review of tbe Peel system of finance for the _purpuse of showing that it was based in false principles , and had not produced the flat . _ _ring results which its founder boasted' of .
The Cb . itc . uob of the E _ che _<*** eb . followed briefly and after a few words from some _' other hon-. member ., the returns were ordered _. The Bankrupty and Insolvency Bill was passed with some _aUciations , and the house adjourned at twelve o ' clock .
_WEDNESDAr , _Jutv 21 . M & vss of _laOKDS , —Their lordships aat for a ihort tine to disp ' _ete of some routine business . HOUSE OF COMMONS —The _Speake _. took the chair at twelve o ' clock . _Bi & Homc o » Mu * chesteb , _ ,, BiL _ . —On the order ofthe day for the third reading ofthis bill being read , Mr Heme said he was opposed to tha-bill because it was , in bis opinion , a violation ofthe agreement entered _intoinlSSG ; and although tbe bill bad been greatly modified , it was still of so objectionable _ashaiatter that he felt bound to oppose it , and be should move that it be read a third time that day bIx months . Sir J . _Gbahah explained the reasons which induced him to support the amendment of Mr H _ ne .
Mr T . D . _msohbe concluded the debate by offering a little advice to members opposite , and to the government below him . To members opposite , w _> supported the government so strenuously now , he ventured to recommend that they shonld chow their sincerity by assisting tha noble lord in his contest for the City . To the noble lord he would say , that he hoped ha would gather a little experience by the course of this debate , aud beware how he burnt his fingers a second time by meddling witk a bishop . ( Laughter . ) The house then divided . —Forthe Mil ..... 93 Against it 14—79 The bill was then read a third time , and after some other business of ro public importance , tbe houso adjourned at half-past five o ' clock . THURSDAY , _Jo ___ 2 .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Commons ' amendment to the Poor law'Administration Bill , prohibiting the separation of man and wife abovo sixty years of age iu union workhouses , was carried on a division by a majority of 29 to 11—The other subjects discussed were , the Commons' Amendments to the Bishopric of Manchester Bill , which were agreed to , and the New Zealand Bill .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —This being the day appointed for tbe prorogation of Parliament by the Qtieen in person more tban the usual amount of anxiety was manifested by tbe favoured and fortunate holders of tickets , to obtain early admission to the Palace of Westminster . Shortly after two o'clock the Queen arrived , and , after the usual preparatory ceremonies , read the following

' * I have given my cheerful assent to those laws which , by allowing tbe free admission of grain , and by affording facilities for the use of sugar in breweries and distilleries , tend to increase the quantity of human food , and to promote commercial intercourse .
" I rejoice to find that you have in no instance" proposed new restrictions , or interfered with the liberty of foreign or internal trade as a mode of relieving distress . I feel assured that sueh measures are generally ineffectual , and in 80 B 1 _C _COS . B aggravate the evils for the alleviation of which they are adopted . " I cordially approve of the acls of large and liberal bounty by which you have assuaged the sufferings of my Irish subjects . I have also readily given my sanction to a law to make better provision for tlie permanent relief of tho destitute in Ireland .

"I am happy to inform you , that notwithstanding the high price of food , the revenue has , up to the present time , been more productive than I had reason to anticipate . Theincreased use of articles of general consumption has chiefly contributed to this result , "The revenue derived from sugar , especially , bas been greatly augmented by the removal ofthe prohibitory duties on foreign sugar . "The various grants which you have made for education in the united kingdom will , I trust , be conducive to the religious and moral improvement of my people .
"My Lordsand Gentlemen , " I think proper to inform jou that it is my intention immediately to dissolve the present parliament . "I rely with _confldence on the loyalty to Ihe Throne and attachment to the free institutions of this country which animate the great body of my people .

Friends , —A few months since I addressed TOU on several important subjects , and I have been _gmtilied by the knowledge that my _suggestion , relative to the co-operation ol the allottees at O'Connorville , in purchasing groceries , coals , & c , has been carried into effect . I am thus emboldened , at the near approach of Conference , to offer my opinions upon our present and future operations . The _jiiant strides which the Land system has made during the last twelve _montlig is a proof tbat the _working-classes are becoming alive to the fact that therein ia their only true salvation from the miseries of ths present commercial and manufacturing _sjsttm ; and the .-money poured into the Land Fund , though trivial , in comparison with what it , would dd if the _sy . ten _ was more _iinMerstood in tne
geueraliy agricultural districts is a proof that they can appreciate the _principles wlien we look npon tho stagnation of trade , _^ d the conse _qiientdeartliofrnenns among tho class whom they * arc intended to benefit .

departments of education , Even at Harmony Hall this difficulty was found to be insuperable , and a dis-St Ser had to be provided for tbe agricultural _Srtment _: It is intended to give a sound cduca-£ to the children of the allottees . If they are to be trained as beings having moral and intellectual facul-K to . _^ eloped by the tutor , the same difficulty S be found at O'Connorville , at Lowbands , and everywhere else . The only . _means which presents Use « to my mind at present is , for he directors to abandon the design of having agriculture teught in the schools * let the allottees invite practical scientific _S u st to lecture upon the science , Jet them f __ a co-operative library of scientific and other awful works , and then leave the teaching of agriculture to the allottees , combining theory with practice on theirown allotments . ..... . _ With regard to the sale of allotments , it being the aaies _dc
opinion of Mr O'Connor tbat snch cannon prevented after the allottee has received hia conveyance , 1 think that if the allotment is sold within such a time as would place it beyond a doubt that the .. Her took the allotment solely as a speculation , the bonus of _ 15 , £ 22 10 s ., or £ 3 . should be given to the purchaser , inasmuch as he is bound by tbe _aame regulations as tbe seller , and should , therefore , receive the same advantages . Mr O'Connor hss seriously expressed his intention of confining the operations of the Company , so far as he is concerned , to four sections , tbe last of which iii _ w ranidlv filling bd : bub that is » o reason why
the Land Plan should be abandoned , 'lakine the average number of shares held by eaeh member at three , there will remain 28 000 Bhawsaf . erthefourt . h section is filled , which , at the name average , wonld supply upwards of 7 , 8 € 0 members . Another director must ) , therefore , be chosen to supply , the place of Mr O'Connor , when the present sectKMt » filled up . and the fifth oommeneed immediately . When the wboloof the 100 , 000 shares have been take * , I should recommend the formatwn of a new company ; the objects we have in view a » e too great and glorious to be _relinquished . In vain shall we look _toParliaraent to take up the Land P ) an until that , Parhament to composed ofthe people ' s representatives , fairly and truly chosen by the people—representatives of
Labour , not of Capital . . _, ' , . It is _» vain _delusioa—a delusion which wished tho enthusiastic disciples of Robert Owen-. 'Ihey . too , relieaiupon government aid , and _sanfe beneath their exertions to force their p lans upon the ministers ' attention . The working-classes must achieve their own salvation , rely only upon themselves , and _succe _ will attend their noble endeavours . I am sorry to see th _& . mallu _et-s oi the- week « y amount of money invested in the National Land and Labour Bank ; why will the working-classes continue to supply their enemies with the sinews tl war ? -why will they continue to support the Juggernaut which is crushing tbem % Brother-workers 1 invest your savings in this Bank —agitato- the question in all * your benefit societies ; by so doing , yoa will _rea-eive additional benefit your
