      a _aonnced crime , and exhorted the people to peace and order . ( 1 ( Hear , hear . ) It _sbculd be recollected alto that the e cemmencement of the speech , however _ili-advised it _n might be nnder other circumstances , bad been provoked _ri by the constant _cslosimes and abase of certain English tj _Bewsptpeis . He would ask thnt honse , did they think t that if the people of England tuff-red _one-tenth ef the c oppression wider which the Irish laboured , they would 1 htve remained quiet under it t MrS .

They bad _promised the s-me thing last 3 year snd had done nothing . Mr _Mexgqk * defen 4 * d archdeacon _JYffan .

      Sir v 7 . SoMks . -vu . tjs _detcr-lbcd » t great length and is i _etroac _laagnage tbe character of the present outrages i _) in Ireland . As to the Poor Law , its success in Ireland I bad _exceeded his expectations . It was true that iu some p parts of the co-retry the law might not in itself be snf-£ _firifnt for the pnrpose for which it was framed , bat that i was so reason _fthy its provisions should not be tn . f forced " . The resources of Ireland shonld ba drawn npon , ta' far as they could go for the support ofthe poor , i and when tbe people of thif conntry were confident that s in any district tbeir resources were exhausted , destitu . 1 tion still remaining unrelieved , he was sure tbat they v would come readily forward , ss they had already done , t to _napply such aid as might be necessary . Mr S . _O'Bkies supported the _addreMamX would _vott i for * strong me & mies * for IreUnfi .

      Mr Feieoos O'Cokxor said , tnat as this was conffessedlythe financial programme to the session , he * was not at all astonished to find the Chancellor of t ths Exchequer checking the exuberance of the _merallier for Drogheda . He could not see what great adi vantage the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer would de-] rive from his financial programme , after the coramn . nictations which had beea made by the right honourable Gentleman , tke Secretary for Ireland . The object _jjftf calling Parliament together was to give stability ' io ths money-market , and what had the right honourable _gentleman told the house ? He had announced the _* Tact , that 2 , 600 . 000 paupers were sir ; tained last year , whilst he made the appalling revelation , that the potato crop , usually valued at sixteen

      • _taUlion ? , was th ' s year-valued at no more than four mi-lions . ( _Gerar . ) Now . althoagh the confessed object of the Irish Coercion Bill was to give stability tj ihe money-market , and confidence to tbe speculator , he feared that this _announcemet-t , coupled with the rateable value of the property of Ireland , as declared by thc honourable memb : r for Marylebjr . e , at fourteen millions , would cause despair where hope was anticipated . ( Hear , hear . ) _Ilere , then , we have the astounding fact , tbat 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 _defisieney can bs made goad by coercion ? But even this financial blunder of the richt honourable

      Secretary for Ireland , should not have induced him { Mr _O'G . ) to take any part in the present discussion , had it cot been for the ill-timed speech of the honourable member for Northamptonshire . Bnt for that speech he would have accepted the invitation of the right honourable Secretary for the Home _Department , and would have abided the _caniinz of that discussion , whii-h he assures us will bea fertile source of disputation . He thought the speech jast delivered by the honourable member for " _Northamptonshire , was most nncecerons and most unfair , lor if he ( Mr O'Connor ) were to describe -aurdeis committed ia England , he ten might harrow up the feelings of the house . But . English gentlemen woald not , thetefore , seek for measures beyond

      the'iaw to put down sued crimes in England . No man was more anxiou 3 to _repress crimes " in Ireland than he was , _sctlinope ready to assist the government in _putting rjowtV crime , provided that the government were determined that there should not be a recurrence of crime . They heard of coercion being asked _f-r Ireland , bat improvement was never proposed by any « f her Majesty ' s ministers . ( Hear , heir . ) There was tranquillity in starvation and quiet in the " ¦ rave , and as long as that was the case _tiiere would Ik no improvement . The power uf the _govern-scKt w-s _soffisient to repress crime , and there _wasr-n Hcce-sity for coercion beyond tbe law . The cause e , f --rime in Ireland was misgovernment . He shoald not bave risen bat for thc i ; arro < - _* in < r and

      unfair _speech eif the honourable member for Northamptonshire _, lie asked tha government to solve this problem , wfcich was to him a paradox , and until they did , they weuld _bejustly chargeable with every crime committed in Ire ' . and . How did it happen that with a genial climate , an industrious people—( laughter ) —he understood that laughter , bnt in spite of it he contended bis conntrymen were industrious , as they traversed the world in search of the lion ' s share of _kbaur , while industry in Ireland was not only a tax hut a condemnation f the industrious . Thus , the man who rented land at a pound an acre , and wbo by his _industry increased its value to 25 s . an acre , induced the avarice of the landlord or the middleman to _dispossess him , or to increase his rent by thevalue

      of his own industry , and now where ' s the laugh ( Hear , hear . ) Ue repeated the question , therefore , how did it _hapuen that with a genial climate , an industrious people , and a fertile soil , the Irish people , in this a < e of progress , were so fur behind other nations , not so highly favoured —that they alone were -etrogradin- * , while other countrie ? were progressing in civiiisation ? He would solve the problem for taeas . Iv was because they had been disinherited , _classafter class , until the government were obliged to ask fur Coercion Bill * , as calves for the woundsthem-Eelveshadmcde . What did government _propoe ¦ with a vie < of preventinrj the necessity of other Coercion Bills ? Why did they not propose their rem- - _diesSitt ? The government had first disinherited

      the _Chureh ; they fed tbe landlords npon twentyfive per cent _, of the Church property ; the Free Trade p _* rty were then allowed to feed upon the landlords ; and now tte honourable member for Northamptosehire bad said the landlords were not able tot ' etd tlie people without tba help of government The _poli ' _-y of govewmest had ever been to make Ireland the battle-field of political factions , and hence when the chareh became weak through exhaustion ' and when the people could co longer sustain it at war price .-, the political aid ofthe landlords was required asd the church was _aicrifice-i . Then free trade became the _-Kdiliewl cry—( hear , hear)—and its _suoporiers achieved politica l ascendancy and , in turn the Irish landlord * , the English landlords , too . were _acrifise-l —(" tear , hear)—and when the railway mania had achieved the ascendant , the Free Traders io turn , must be _sasrifi'jed to fie dominant party . This

      is the policy tint he ( Mr O'Cunnor ) objected to * this is the _witherine ; _system under which Ireland hag ' been _pauperised _» F . d England bronght to the very brink of min . The landlords had it ia their power , he , _maintiined _. to _discharge their daty to the peop _' e _ti-morrie-, if thev chose . There was just one mastergriev _^ :: ce in I reland ; and , if that were removed it _-jMulddiathou-arid times _m-ire uood than setting the _$ zo ? ' e to knock down hills aad dig _h-ileg . Give _tsenn-stiy perpetual tenure atji corn-rent and all trsaMiK * right ; and until they did that , the Irish | KK _, p e w . mld bi eternally comma to the - _.-evernmen t fer _assistance , and the . ' _a-idlordsfor coercion . They ** tvre coastantly hearinf * of the virtues of every man who was raartiercd . and the _vai-mr of _iha-hndiords ; bat ihey ought not t » forget the starvation and _suffering of the people , _iilembera ought to remember ther own avowal , that _thare was no other occupation has had in Ireland , and that land must be had . He

      _c-j : » : « I not join in the eulogioms cn the Irish landlords _, _riiey were not to be compared for a moment with the _Enslish landlords . And wha . 5 was the reason ? The reason wa ? , that mo * t of tbeir estates were mortgaged ; ar . d their _mana-jemeiit _wsb handed over to middlemen , in order thftt they ' themselves might reside in England or afcr tad , aid-those middlemen _oppressed tht tenantry . He would describe the system . Ai lr : 8 h _middleman _R-nted _fniai a landlord _^ say a thousand acres of land ; he paid the lord a _suiScieiit amonnt , by way of fine , to enable him te abandon his country andhis duties , th ' s save the middleman ahold upon the _landlerd and a dominion over the tenant . He let 801 acres of tha land at rack rents , reserving 200 acres tod the mansion , wtech lie kept ia hii own

      r « ndf , and which the serfs were obliged teeuHiv * by free labour , snpporling tbe house with fowls , eggs , and other provisions : giving tbe ladies' glove money , ' and the bailiff'hush money , ' while the agent of the absentee wa ? , 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 thir- attorney had an interest inejectingand persecuting the tenants . _ This man a '« o became a magistrate , and was appointed to _dicharge those duties , which , of right , appertained to the owner of the soil . ( Uear , hear . ) How conld tliey hope thatthe Catholic population , the outlawed pipulation of Ireland , wonid all at once come to recognise and respect the law . It would , indeed , take

      generations to do that ; but let the government proceed peaceably and progressively , and they would arrive in course of time at this desirable result with . ont Coercion—Coercion Bills wonld only check their _PWETC 8 S towards it . It was a melancholy thing to think that to-morrow , on 'Change , the report of a new Coercion Bill for Ireland would raise Consols two percent . Ireland was the battle-ground ofthe Stock Exchange ; and government was obliged to have recourse to Coercion Bills , as a means of propping themselves up . Instead of passing Coercion Bills let them set the people to cultivate the land . The land was _gomethin-r . Let the government pro * _ceedtobase their measures on a reality , and not a fiction . He wonld emote the motto of the right hon .

      member for Tamworth— « The science of agriculture was only in _itsinfancy . ' He ( Mr F . O'Connor ) had made this a household word in every cottage in England . He begged of them not to talk to him of over-population , and emigration , and Poor Laws , while one acre of land in the country remained uncultivated . If when the land was cultivated to ite utmost extent emigration Bhould be found to be necessaiy , be should agree to some measure of that kind , but not till then , as he considered it the paramount duty of the government _» f a country to cultivate the national resources of a country , and he ( Mr O'Connor ) contended that bo long as one single acre remained un * cultivated to the highest state ofits capability , that

      every pauper was a verdict of guilt against that government . ( Hear , hear . ) Wby go to foreign cointries for food that vou 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 . gentlemau who seconded the address , that we may not live to see , thatthe present generation , or the next generation may not see- 'those promised im-| pravements . while coercion ia immediate _^ Isn't this hope for Ireland ? aad was not his incautious admission , that the cause of Ireland ' s _diB'ress and poverty bad been continuous misgovernment , a justification , or at all events a palliation of Irish crime _. and a condemnation of English government ? ( Hear , hear . )

      And then the hon . baronet , the member for Marylebone , read a garbled extract , from the speech ofthe venerable Archdeacon Lafian , but 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 tbat document adopted it , justified it , and approved it , because in it , taken as a whole , he recognised the very strongest denunciation of crime . ( Rear . ) He did not gather much comfort from the avowal , either oi 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 the house might rest assured , that such an application

      would be the plague spot which wonld spread thranghont the length and breadth of the land ; the complaints of disense , 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 they hoped for tranquillity , they must remove the causes which have led to discontent . Tbe Catholic people of Ireland cannot bs won to affection by coercion , nor will the deep-rooted injuries , tbat they have received at tbe hands oi British rulers , be banished from their memories by other than kindly and encouraging means . ( Hear , hear . ) In order to ensure a proper representation e ( the industrial mind of the country ,

      and a profitable cultivation of her resources , he ( Mr O ' Connor ) implored the English and Irish land _, lords to unite upon the establishment of some real basis , upon which the constitution may be founded ; it was impassible to stretch fiction to meet national requirements . '; the hope of the nation could be only based npon a reality , and that reality was only to be found in the land , upon a system which would enable the cultivator to work willing task work everyday in the year , for bis own benefit , instead of civing his slave labour grudgingly to another _. He ( Jfr O'Connor ) called upon the government to lay a proper measurefor the adjustment of differences between landlord and tenant , upon the table of that house , for he begged to assure them that it was

      hopeless to expect to govern Ireland by abuse of the people and their priesthood . ( Hear , hear . ) lie did not ask for _saeh a _measura as that concocted by the Irish Council , which was one jumble of complication from thc begiunmz 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 the _esonfession of the hon . member who seconded the addK « 8 , that Irish distress and dissatisfaction was consequent npon misgovernment , whether the necessity for coercion was not a condemnation of that government . He wonld 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 merse their own little differences , whatever the */ nitL'ht be , in one common feeling of patriotism ; and notwithstanding tba taunt of the hon . member for Marylebone levelled at the declaration of the _hoa . member for Kilkenny , tbat he could become a victim in the _cauce of Ireland if necessary , he , ( Mr O'Connor , ) although an English member , did not forget that he was an Irishman , and his restive waa now the same as in 1833 , to enlist as an Irish soldier , to resist coercion to the death , and if all the Irish members were impressed with his feeling they would sit in that house , stand in that house , sleep in that house , and die in that house , if necessary , rather than allow their conntry to be coerced . ( Cheers and

      shouts of * bravo' Irom the Irish members , which were Mowed by a general cry of Order , order . ' ) It was fourteen years since he first had the honour of a seat in that house , and he then , as now , told the ministers that , apart from all party and factious feeling , he ( Mr O'Connor ) would bs prepared to give his assent and support to any good measures they might propose , and he repeated tbe same now ; but as they were not likely to propound those healing measures , they should have his most determined _opposition . ( Uear , hear , and laughter . ) He repeated it , tbat in all good measures he was ready to aid them , but as they were not likely to produce

      those good measures they must expect his most stern opposition ; that was his answer to laughter , aud it was good reason , sound justice , and good logic . But the present ministry was a weak ministry—the weakest ministry tbat every sat upon those benches—holding office npon toleration , and hoping to strengthen tbeir hands hy hatred to Ireland . ( Cheers ( rom the Irish members ) Again he declared that he shonld not have taken any part in the debate npon the address , had it not been for tbe ill-timed , ungenerous , and figurative speech of the hon . member for Northamptonshire . ( Cheers , and cries of' Divide . ' )

      _HrGBATr an withdrew his amendment , and afterthe Chancellor of the Erchequer , in answer U Mr _Herries had promised a _statement on the financial policy of the _jrovernmenton Tuesday next , which wonld _glveaa opportunity for a debate on the monetary question , the addreu _was agreed to , and the house adjourned shortly after twelve o ' clock .

      of au _agrariin eharacter . Cnder these _clrcamstsncee he was not altogether disinclined to strengthen the hinds f the _Irisb Executive , hut before he gave bis vote for a measnre of coercion he mast first asctrtalri from tha governmentwhat schemes for the social amelioration of the conntry the government intended te develop . Much « tre « was laid npon the _beae & eial effects of a Tenant Right Bill , bat until they improved the condition of the labouring classes in Ireland , nothing could be effected tor tbe _i-npravement of tbat eountry . He regretted that tbo Speech from the Throne bad not _foreshadowed a bill to facilitate the sale of encumbered estates .

      Lord 0 . _Berth-c _** . called for definite information as to tbe reason which had Induced the government _tepur . sae the disastrous policy they had done with reference to the commercial distress and the currency . He denied tbat tbere was any truth In the cry of the _goveramsat and ofthe Free Traders , that tbe railroad speculations bat ! created the distress in tke . money market . Sir Heywood said that £ l _« l , _MI , « 8 l had been spent on railways , and that no conntry could stand such a drain ; be forgot to tell the house that that sum was spent in twenty years , and that only £ 85 , 000 , 000 bad been spent in the period between 1840 and the present time . That wasBotmore tban £ 12 , 500 , 009 a-year ; and after the large sums which we bad spent every year during the last war . and especially in tbe last year of it , It was

      absurd to contend that an expenditure ef £ 12 , 110 , 011 annually _hadhrought ns to the verge of ruin , It was well that tbe Fete Traders shoald bare some scapegoat on which to throw all tbeir sins ; bnt how was it that in tbe United states , in Belgium , Holland , Bavaria , _Fru-sis , and France , wbere the same dearth had prevailed , and where Urge sums had been expended in railwa-i , the Ministers had congratalattd their respective conntries on having conquered all their fiaancini difficulties 1 The differenoc between _tbeee continental Powers and England was , tbat not one of them had consented to abaadoa the principle of _protection to satire industry . Not one of them had reduced the impott duty on tho commodities of foreign states , withont _geialng reciprocal advantages ; and the _conscqueare was that they wete now carrying

      on . their manufactures to the detriment of those of 1 England , and were even purchasing at Liverpool at the present moment mere ootton than at any former period lata loss to the British merchant—cotton which was afterwards tobe worked up to meet the English operative in his own market . This was _owlse to our want of credit , to onr _moaey laws , and to Sir R . Peel ' s celebrated Blbtng letter . Whilst vie had been contracting _thecurr » ncy and passing Bank Charter Acts to saturate the conntry - _» _i « h gold , France bad been contracting , not the number of her notes , but tbe sire ef them from £ 20 to £ 8 . Bavaria had been establishing saving . _hauk-notes on tbe one hand , and railway bank-notes oa the other . The Bmper-Tof Russia had been sending away bis gold and establishing three new series of bank-notes , each te

      the amount of £ 950 , 000 . We , on the contrary , had been restricting our currency on the one _hSad , and letting in free imports on the other ; and the consequence was that England , which in 1845 was seated on the loftiest plnnacl *> of prosperity , presented in 1847 a lamentable spectacle of shame , baakraptcy _, aad disgrace . As to Ireland , he trusted the government were not abont to present to the world the spectacle of one set of men taming another out , and then governing on the same prisciples whieh they had repudiated in doing so . He would reserve his judgment on the Irish _measiues of the _gorernment nntil they were before the house . Adverting to the subject of the slave trade , he animadverted npon the policy ef this country witb regard to it : atttibating to that _pelicy its increase _instead of its sup .

      pression , and concluded a lengthened speech in the following teims —For myself , I confess that I cannot _st-e daylight at present . I know not what course we can , with safety , pursue , unless it be that of retracing onr steps . Tbe _hea . member for Lancashire ( Mr Heywood ) said lest night that he conld see only one ray of innshine to illumine tbe gloom and darkness which sur . rounded us , and that was to be fonnd in the circumstance of her Majesty having been whisked along a railway at the rate of fsrty . five miles an hour . ( A laugh . ) According to the hon . member , her Majesty passed like a bright star through the darkness ; bat if he can _ftm . _ish ns with no greater hope tban is afforded by tbat circumstance , I fear that we have only the prospect of a melaicholy fature before us . Oh 1 how chaBged are the

      auspices under which we commence this session as com . pand with those nnder which tbe session of 1846 began ! Then her Majesty permitted bet _RoyaVcowott tohoaoun » with his presence ia this honse , as it 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 bave expected tbat hon , member to have appeared here to face the dangers and difficulties of the present honr . I think that if the hoa ; _rntrnW w _« re here he would deem it his duty to explain how it has happened thnt all his promises and vows had been broken . ( Hear

      hear . ) We know that in 1841 the hon , member delivered a celebrated address—one of those eloquent effusions which helped to make np the weight cf 416 tons of tracts circulated in the course of the Anti-Corn Law agitation—to the non-electors of Stcekport , in wbich he told his audie-. ee tbat it was necessary to abolish the 'impious and anti-Christian Com Laws , ' and tn two months fromthe passing ofthe bill which should effect that _object , flour would be sit farthings _a-pound , whilst tbere wonld also be phaty of employment at advanced wages . Tbe hon . member also said that ever ; mill would be going , and every loom In moti _« _a—that mvr bouses , new churches , and new chapels wonld arise in all directions , and , fa shcrt , that there wonld be no limit to the prosperltyof the manufacturers and theirworkpeople . The hon .

      member further called upon all Christian men to put down the impious menoply which , he said , took from each of the persons whem he was addressing fourpence out of every shilling , which fourpence they ought to have to expend in the purchase of tea , coffee , and cloth _, ing . Tes l the hon , member did not hesitate to declare tbat the unchristian Corn Law took one-third of their food from the wives and families of the poor in order to increase tbe overgrown wealth ofthe Dake of Backingham and Sir James Graham . ( Hear , hoar , ) I rejoice to see my right hon . friend in his place as large as life . { A laugh . ) I rejoice to see my right bon . frlead looklnso well , fresh from the contemplation of those hoards of

      wealth which the hon . member for Stockport gave bim credit for _posiesslng _. which f « do »* bt ! e . s a more agreeable occupation than that of bestowing attention npon tbostmiserable free trade measures which are now beginning to develope their fatal results . I _alsa _re-joice to see _mj 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 . friend , andhis presence here proves that he has not become thc victim of aa Imprecation which he Introduced into that address . My _ri-jht hon . friend in his speech to the electors of Dorchester expressed his horror ef certain changes then suggested by some p . rgoas , aad exclaimed —

      ' May I be cold before that dreadfal day , ' Pressed with a load of monumental clay I ' ( 'Hear , ' and laughter . ) And then my right hon . friend indulged in this apostrophe : — ' When thou , imperial Troy , must bend , * And see thy warriors fall , thy glorious end . ' ( Laughter . ) But to revert to the promises which- were beld ontla 1845—how different are the results of free trade measures from what wa were taught to expect 1 We were promised prosperity and happiness , instead of wbich we see nothing but ruined employers and starving _ps-ople—starving in tbe midst of plentyfor have we aot just thanked Almighty God for the bounteous harvest ? How different was the position of the conntry under the protective system , when we were

      content to pursue eur prosperous and wealth-making Industry la the old trade-winds of national and colonial projection . ( Hear , hear . ) Then came the day when unfortunately , tbe trade aid commerce of this country —wantoning _. as it were in their very wsalth and prosper _, _ity— not content with the benefits which they possessed , must needs listen to the seductive language ofthe right bon . baronet , the member for Tamworth , and the bon . member for Stockport , and to abandon the solid advantages which they « nj * js » l , forthe meretricious tinsel of free trade . ( Heir , hear . ) How how changed is iheir state : — ' How , like a yoankcr er a prodigal , ' The scarped bark pats from her native bay , ' Hugg'd and embraced by the strumpet wind .

      • How like a prodigal doth sbe return * With over , weathirad ribs and ragged sails , 'Lean , rent , aad beggarM by the strumpet wind , ( Cheers . ) Lord J . _RnssEti , before alluding to the noble lord ' s speech , addressed himself briefly to some ef tke topics contained in that of Mr Osborne . As to the sale of encumbered estates , he attached great importance te a measure nhich would facilitate the transfer of estates so circumstanced ; and sucb a measure would , ln all probability , be speedily introduced into the house . The-Bsme with respect to a xa _.-asare to put en abetter footing tbe great and important relation between _laadlord and tenant . Tbe government were , therefore , not liable to the charge that coercion only was lu their mind . Ab

      to the mistaken nature of such a policy , his mind waf still unchanged . As to Lord G . Bentinck ' _s speech , Mr CaDaiag ' s phrase , 'tbat much good indi gnation had been thrown away , ' was very applicable to it . It was only with a view ta tht general convenience ofthe house thatthe Chancellor ofthe Exchequer had postponed hi . explanation till Tuesday , The noble lord then _proceeded to state the reasons which had induced the goverum . nt to _su-nmoa Parliament together at so early a period . The fullest explanation wonld be given to the house of the circumstance wi . ich had led to the measnre of the 23 rd of October , and of tbe consequences which had flowed from that step—coneeqaenceB which in his opinion amply justified the government in what tbey

      bad done . The noble lord tben vindicated the condition upon which tbe Bank was to act , in accordance with the tenor ofthe letter of the 23 rd of _O-tober , viz ., to demand an interest of eight per cent , on discounts . As to Lord G . Bentinck ' s rhapsody about Free Trade , and its alleged connexion with tho present state of tbe country , it reminded him ofthe old fallacy , that Teu terefen Steeple was the cause of tbe Goodwin Sand There was no more connexion In the one case than ! i theother . Whatever might be our system of trade or of currency , revulsions in trade could _notalwayshe averted . And as to the eff .-ct 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...

      during ths _tiae-gency through , which we had just passed , ereauider tbe most _prohibitory system . Withreipeet to the _geaeral state of the wuntry , it was . not as Lord 9 , Bentlnck alleged , oae of shame or degradation , although It was undoubtedly one of suffering , eut of which the _couitry would rise again to its former prosperity . _Tbcrt was nothing In the present state of the conntry to justify despondency in . aay mind . As to the revenue , he had no _donbtbut tbat the house woald readily grant to the government all the supplies necessary to meet the exigencies of the public service . If kc entertained any

      hopes as to our speedy recovory from our present difficulties , it was not _betause he had any great reliance upon any thing that government _csulddo . His hopes were based upen a broader foundation—upoa thegreat and noble character of a nation , a character which had redeemed it on past occasions from crises ef a Still more portentous nature than tbat from which it Is bow suffer . Ing ; and in following and aiding , as far as possible , the _natien in working out It own redemption , the government of the country would prove itself worth y ofthe hig h trust which had been _repoied in it _.

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

      The report was then brought up , and the address was ordered to be presented to her Majesty . The house then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . _Thobsdat . —Earl _Spekceb brought up the answer to the Address . Tne remaining _busintss was of no importance . HOUSE OF COMMONS .
