Mr . Ridei , Chairman . The Coaw * nio » t iapw * o » nc * » f a decision oikst week * in order to ( We time for visitinf the various Biembew , did not aeet till two o ' ciock . The Secretary read ever the minutes of the last meeting , and the following gams were announced a » received by the Treasurer * : viz . frem Glasgow £ 30 , second contribotien , making in all £ 90 ; from Norwich , £ 5 ; from fiie Potteries £ 5 , and from London farther £ 10 . Dr . Tatiok then moved then moved the adoption of the addresa . which w&sseeondedby Mr . M eaung . Mr . Wm » aid not approve of the address , and as there was a debate of importanse to-day , he would move at as amendment that the address be considered to-morrow .
Dr . Wabe saw in the address recommendatioxi * to physical force , and intended to oppose it . He seconded ike uneadment , which was carried . Mr . O'CoH j roa brought forward the question of which he . had given notice , and of which the following k a copy : —* To move for the appointment of a Committee to taie into consideratipn the best means « f enfigting die rapport of the Irish people in furtherance m fee People ' * Charter and the National Petition ; and also that the Committee shall be empowered H > *» w up a docanvnt embodying what they eoaeeive to be sabrtaatul justice to Ireland . " The speech of Mi . O'Connor en moving the resolution aad . also his speech in the adjourned debate are resemd till © or neat , to makt room for the opinions of u « other delegates . Mr . Lovkt wa « perfectl y convinced that if vt * bowed oar object to fee really and truly the good of Irel and , fret from any party gain or question of
religious ascendancy , we could not fail of setting the Insh to ear side ,- and when once that was the case . « * bo « ld be irresistible . He had no knowledge k Irishmen , bat from thcwe whom he knew in this eooniry . An 1 although on some occasions the Irish had frown jealous ef the English , and had not on all eccuuBU acted with them so cordially as cenla haw been wished , yet that eondnct tu ia some measure natural , when it vu considered how much they were oppressed and enslaved , and how deep au ifltewt a powerful faction had in . Bnsrepreaentutg the two countries to each other , in order to prevent them acting together . ( Cheers . ) If , however , wr ar « allowed a hearing by the Irish nation , if we hare © oly-sm opperuinity ef showing onr desire that the ) should exjjoy the « au » privileges with ourselves , I cannot moot of ocr Btceess in fretting their ce > -vaer aaon in oar holy came , and with that support it would indeed he irrwaatSble . < Chee » . )
Mr . Saxxey , delegate fox Edinburgh , "would wish t » » ay that , as a native Irishman himself , tnd th » - son of an Irish patriot , nothing coUd gratify him mere than , as the representative of the metropolis * t Scotland , thru to express their thanks to O'Coanor for banng brought this important question ferwarJ . and afforded an opportunity to the men of Great Britain and Ireland to repudiate the base aspersion , thrown oa thwn by designing men . The hearts oi the men of Edinburgh and Mid Lothian , he might say of Scotland generally , burned with indignatk > n when they thought of the wn >» gs of Ireland , and thvy were ready witn * li their energies to more either to her rescue or deieuce . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Deedas , although a Catholic himself ,
nlway * believed that the Catholic Aristocracy were a > bad a * tae Protestant one , because , placed in poarer by a corrupt system , and interested in keeping it : he was glad that bm this Convention the Toice of Eogli » h freemen would ge forth to penetrate the mL . ts of i gnorance , and carry with it freedom to those who were in bondage . He thanked Mr . O'Connor , in U » e name of hu constituent * , for giving them this opportunity of displaying , through tb « r representative , their good-will to Ireland ; and , from the unanimity which prevailed , he did not—he could not doubt but thai ^ with every other IrutiHUU who loved his country , h # wonld saoa hava to tkank this Convention for Saving so gallantly , so unequivocally , and be felt confidently , so successfully come t * her aid . ( Hear , hear , hear . )
Mr . Fbost could assure the House that if . as Mr . Sankey had said , Scotland was ready to sup ^ x , n Ireland in her demand for real jurfie * , W ale < wonld not be behindhand in the same glorious object , —{ hear and ch » ers , )—and yet it fu but a snort doe since even an expnemjra of sympathy could have been obtained for that miiguretaed land . ( Hear . ) ^ Mr . Richarwos , of Manchester , had felt an ardent interest in the cause ef Ireland , not only becauw he represented 30 , 000 Irishmen , who would look that he should be active in their cause , but becawe that eaue tb the cause of troth and justice— -the same for which they were now met in Convention . ( Hear , bear . ) He would repel with indignatien the ealunurion * assertion that
Englishmen-had no sympathy for Ireland—they did sympathise with tVm , and the more deeply from seeing the patience with which the Irish bore their almost intolerable grievances , for uatiait they were indeed . or they would long since hare been again goaded on to reb * Hioa . ^ Hear and cheers !) He , ( Mr . JL ) had been in Ireland—he had been in the Com Exchangp of Dublin , he had seen there thirty or forty Barristers , to whom O'CoaneD presented a qnir of letters and then mored , that ihv one , aod that one , should be sent to the- coHnbry « t ten guiseas per day , for no other purpose than to assist him * in disposing of the rent , and spending tbe money , wrong , by false pretences , from the sweat and blood of the poar . ( Hear , and cWr . O In
thus moringin this cause , it could not be objected that we were teniag politicians , for we had onlr an indirect interest in tin * question , of which , the ' first and chief benefit wools , accrue to the Irish th < -. m > sebes , while all the outlay and the labour must be w * . ( Cheers ^ \ f e cannot shot onr eyes to the bet , that the Iruh are driven ever here by tie tyranny of the landlords , who have do longer an interest iii retaining them at borne- and it is equally evident , that they are kept hew t > y ibe chicanery of faction . We most destroy O'CcanelT * b y dertroying his power do jni * chief . We nut strike at tke sources of his peuon&pe ; the army , the Siry , the Goremmenu ine chBrch , and even tbe police , for his nighty ambition for power to abase , extends over all ; and oar ultimate object must be , ought to be , not to govern Ireland with justice , but to teach Ireland to govern herself . ( Hear . ) v
Dr . TATfcoa had a painful duty to perform ; he did sot rise te speak to the subject , but to apologize for the , absence of one of the brightest ornaments of the ConrentioB , from they had a right to expect another f those eioqoent and spirit-stirring appeals to which they s 4 )» ften listened with delight ; he meant Mr . Bronterre O'Brien —( bear , near)—who bad suffered a melancholy bere « Tement in tbe loss of hi * eldest daughter , by her clothes having token fire—( zreat sensation , )—and who had requested him ( Dr . Taylor ) to ask leare of absence for him for a fewdxy * . ( Hear . ) Mr . Woo » felt grateful to Mr . O'Connor for bringing thu question forward , for he felt confident that the greatest incnbos oo the liberty of Ireland was the power of U'Connell , who made every qoesuon a Tcheious one in order to enrtst the prejudices of
a class on his side , and nothing would be so fatal to his power as for irishmen to hare an opportunity ef letting Englishmen know how they are cheated and epprauei , and the whole object of O'Connell was to pretent this being known to England , and to keep Ireland herftelf in ignorance of what sbe suffered from . I had always thought ( said Mr . Weod ) tkat Proif « tant ascendancy was the caase of ail the misery and heart-breaking . I now understand from Mr . O'Connor that tke question was not a religions ene , but that O'Connell made it such for his own ti \ e purpose * . ( Hear . ) I think a well-digMted address wool * be attended with the best result ? , and 1 am not . whhoat hopes that , before long , we sh-dl hare two millions of signature * to onr caase . ( Cheers . ) ... . .
Mr . Whittle said that we must not anticipate much immediate good , or any very decided impression at first ; but such an address from us as that contemplated , would be another and a strong proof of your sympathy for mr poor country . ( HVar . f When O * Counell says the English have no sympathy for the Irish people , he state * what is fake . For the Tories have snown their sympathy for Wellington . ( Hear . ) The Whigs hare sympathy with the Chancellor Spring Rice , ( Hear . ) The Whig Radicals of Scotland nave rrnipathy with Parnell ; —( hear , hear , )—and even the Irish beggar O'Cenaeij hear , hear , )—had a proof of sympathy shown to himself in the shape of £ 8000 sterling . ( Loud e&eers . ) ,. , . , heard the Irish
Mr Bpssct had often , complain mat ther-were not completely identified in petitions with England . ( Hear . ) Thia » otion would «> far to do away wiUrall cause for this , and br ad them closer together . He woold rapport it with all hi * heart . ( Hear . ) , Dr . Tatu >* mwed that d » netting do bow dissolve , which , after some opposifton fro » - Mr . Bussey , was carried by a majority ; and hefDr .

Th&renewed . debate o& bb . iXCatuw * motion was Ihro resunsed by Dr . Taylor , who said that he renewed this d . b » te less because he had toy desire to occupy flieir time , than from a wixh to give erery oneaaopportuDity ef expressing their opinioni on a rab , ect of such importance ; but he couk not help sayinz that he had known Ireland and Irishmen well : he passed a high eulogiwn upon them , ' and * oncloded a bnlliant speech amid much applause which we . egret we cannot give , as the report ^ naa not arrived . . _ Mr . Skvisgtok « ipported the views of Mr . O Connor , and was gla « that Dr . Taylor had given fe ^ MWu * « P « mi » « 1 u « « e » tininu , because he had been chvurman of a meeting , met lor the parpose of denonnciBg Daniel O'Cwinell ' s conduct , in uitenng the foul slanders h « lad . inindulged m agmnst the Radicals ef England , and the wice of this Convention would ge far to add weight to what before was the more opinion ef an lBdindnaL ( Cheers . ) e
Dr . WDowall had been accustomed to see vast numbers of the Irish coming over to Scotland , and Irom them it was customary to suppose that the corn was nearly ripe . They came like the swallows to announce the approach of summer ; but alas they came also to announce that misery and destitution were their lot at home . ( Hear , hear . ) If he wxs thought to n * e strong language in Convention when thmking of the wrongs and contemplating the miseries of Englishman , what would that language be were he aU Irishman ? ( Hear , bear . ) Why sesareashis expressions were based on the honest convictions of a beasrolent heart , he would at once
avow himself a rebel , and boldly strike for freedom . ( Loud cheers . ) Dr . M Dowall read a number of extracts , giving a most harrowing aecouat of the ¦ state of Ireland , from the report * of the Poor Law CoHimissioners ; and showing by many beautiful traiw that their native generosity and honest pride , however borne down by misery , disease , and want , wm far from extinct ; he considered that one great cause of Irish oppression was , that tuey had all along been deceWed by their leaders —{ hear . )—ef * bom they had a noted example at the prespnt day , muging the pence frorn the etamng poor wiih tbe mil knowled ge of their destitution . ( Hear , hear , ait'i cheers . )
Dr . Wade made a kind of Irish eulogium of O Lonnell , which , however , called forth # ome manifestations of impa ^ euce . He was in favour , ; coatmued the Doctor , of universal equality—oi ir ^ edum of tboughr , and freedom of actiun ; awd lusch as 1 Iwetiie ch rcb , to which 1 belong , 1 Uelievethur , sibject u » two . men , it has been Steeped in blo ** d , wuLrti not all the wate r * which roll between the two countries cua ever wsish out . ( Hear , hear . ) George Juman Harxey m « de a strong appeal ro the Conventioa . and i » eloqtient aud powerful language denouiiced OCeunell and repli * d to Dr . Wade .
Mr . Marbben « aid , he could Bot understand why the people of Ireland , right cr wrang , supported O Cenneil ; aud Bmong the plaiis he bad u «* i » -eil was one thai even- person sbould give up hisiVor // i ^ r « Star for a rime , and deluge Ireland witk them . ( Hear . ) The propa-dtion had been made to O'Conmir for advice , bnt they had not beurd the J ^ Y . Mr . Smart said a few words in" favonr of the motien -which he ibongbt the more He ? e *« ary . as bi'herto noihing could 6 e d » up in Ireland unless it > rw comiofDced by some fulsome praine oJ O'Connell . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . > i ££ So » i was convinced that unless the indus . triou ^ classes made a determined atd decided stand . they would soon be on a level with tbe lri > h . Unless tbey got Universal Suffrage , the damnable Poor Law Bill would >< oon lay them victims bouud helpless anon tbe nltar . a iva-dy sacrifice to the Wnit > («•>« -, he .-. r . ) Mr . Gill ihonghtth 8 t tlie Committee would have very grfs . 1 diflicultr in obtaining a hearing , but appruvrd of trying it . Messrx . Cad . do and Habtwell did not tbink there w-nld be any snch difficulty as was anticipated , inasmnchaj they has bef n in communication with yjvrioos Irishmen , from whose report ? , it was evident thai tbe ebaracUr of OTonnell was becoming better undersfood , particularlr in Cork and Dub . ni .
Mr . . Mealing , fram Uuih , said it was evident that O'Connell hud the middle class in his interest , and , perhaps , a poraoa of tbe Aristocracy ; but he could nor multiply himself any more than us , and it was eur duty to meet his assertions with counter-statein »» t $ , to repel his calumnies , and undeceive his dupes by every means in our po * er —( hear , hear )—and he was sure v&st means wure at our command , i \ , 0 Tl 1 * P roPerb' applied them . ( Hear , Lear . ) Mr . -Mealing spoke so low that the latur part of his speech w « s inaudible to our reporter . Mr . O'Cwjsor replied in a 8 p »* ech of * nch length as totally to preclude any report of it this week . It surpassed his opening speech in brilliancv of imagery , as well as energy of ton * , and carriei all hearts alone with him .
Tbe raot : on was carried amid great applause , and Mr . O'Connor then named the following gentlemen as a committee to carry it into effect : —Messrs . Carpenter , Craig , Dr . Taylur , Dr . Fletcher , Air . Moir , Mr . Whittle , Mr . Sa . ui . ey , ilr . Lowry , and Mr . Rodgers . Doctor Tatlob then moved that the address be received . Mr . MfAUSPvof Bath , seconded it . Dr . Wade intended to object to some allusions to physical force . Mr . O'Coxsor moved that t ' je address be remitted to the Committf e for re-considerarisn , and he aid so because it waa too vague . Mr . Colliks . objected that it was too fall .
Mr . San key , as one of the Committee , defended the address , but did not object to its re-commitcal . Dr . Taylor replied , and the address was th ? n re-committed , to be brought up again on Thursday . Dr . Taylor thea rose to bring forward iiis motion for a vote of tbankj to Mr . Fro . < t , for h . s spirited rebuke ol Lord John Russell , the Secretary of State . He MddHihat he cosld not conceive any prouder position in wkich any man could be placed , than whea he boldly and fearlessly defends the rigtit * ef the community , and repel * , with m « rited scurn , all attempts to tyrannise over them in the exercise of their uadonbied rights as freemen . Mr . O'Coxnor seconded tbe motion . Mr .. Cotuss proposed that some small mark of esteem be . given to Mr . Frost for his conduct . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . Frb ' st said he had , after mature deliberation , determined never to receive any present , and he hoped nothing more would be said on the subject . The Chairman put the motion , which was carried amid great cberring . Mr . F * ost replied with moch feeling . He said he cop <* a lie wuiud ever act in such a manner as to secure the estet-m of h : s countrymen , and he felt highly gratified in the honour now paid him . Dr . Taylor had alluded to Magistrates obeying Lord
John Kussell , bnt this was not all , they were ready ever to bow to the menials of Lord John ; and as a proof of this , he wuuld mention that the Magistrates and Guardians of Newport had declared their meeungs open—and so generally , that the person who brought a motion for rescinding the order could net find a seconder , vet within a tew days an order arrived from a Poor Law Commissioner to forbid the public admission , and with tbe exception of himself not one proposed to di * regard \ the injunction . Mr . Frost sat Cown amid repeated cheers .
Mr . O'Coxnors motion that no Member of the Convention be allowed to receive any salary or emolument except the secretary , which was seconded and carried ' after some slight discussion . Mr . Carpenter said that , in allusion to a letter which the Secretary was about to read , he had to state that jt came from a foreigner , who had taken hb active part in the cause of Ireedom abroad , and who ia consequence w as now an exile from home . He ( Mr . Carpeater ) bad drawn hi * pen through the name , because were it known abroad that he was coanected with tbe work in question , his corre * pondest would be discovered and arrested .
The Secretart then read the following letter : — * Having read tbe debates of tbe General Convention ., I -wag struck with the sound , practical , and large view * of almost all the members of that bod y , and the talent with which they are exposed . I mu- > t confess that the Houses of Parliament are gnnk in almost nothingness when th ^ ir transactions ef la . t week are compared with those of the Convention . The respect I entertain for that body induces me te humbly request them to accept six complete seu of PhitoKeite ' s Revieic , and 1 hope yon will be so
good as to present them : 1 regret I am not rich enough to offer a copy to every member . Pursue your noble and useful undertaking . When I see aa assembly like yours elected by the working class * . * , 1 cannot but admire the tact of the people in the selection of their representatives ; and I am convinced that their emancipation is near at hand . " ( Lood cheers . ) Avote of thanks to the writer of the letter was carried by acclamation J ^ aod upon the motion of Mr . O'Coanbr , the letter uielf was ordered to be engrossed in the minutes . Several other motions were then referred to other committees , or withdrawn , and the sitting terminated .
Summary . —The proceedings of Monday and Tuesday were of the utmost importance ia the Convention , and we had made arrangement * to jive the whole of them in this number , bnt the length to which Mr . O'Connor ' s opening speech on Monday , and reply on Tuesday , exteaded , and the very great importance of having them , correct , i . ave obliged ps to delay it till next week , rather than give it . iu separate portion * . But if our readers wish to hate an idea ol it , let them take tbe best argument * out ofevery . otberspee . ch—mould tbemiutoone harangue aid to them a vast namber of fact * , collected duiirg a number of years' practice as a bam > to- — ¦ lotbe them" in the most appropriate language , a-i ^ deliver them with that geuerous eainestnesj * which peculiarly characterises the learned gen > h ' - man , and they will be able te conceive th * effect produced upon anintelligenl&nd attentive ! audience .

Vb » tpmdtta of Ireland 1 W * ^ o « « pon aa entirely new footing , new . at least , to' » y ? l of tbe members of tbe Convention ; it was * epat * teu ' fcfin religion , with which O'Connell always wi « h » lili \ niix it up ' , and traced to its real canses—tb > cafitbfcations of aristocracies , Protestant and Catholic , HfWw t the poor . It was a remarkable fact , as Mr- O ' Connor observed , that so long as the grass lands of the ric ' n were exempted from tithes , every land owner , whether Protestant or Catholic , discountenanced any attack upon tithes , bat no keener did Goulburn make their parks liable to the odioos tax , as well as the potsxo garden of the poor , than they immediately joined in the war cry , and what had before deem a crime , whea it was only to benefit
tha poor , now became a virtue when it went to benefit the rich . One remarkable conseqnence of this debate , will be to disabuse rae minds ot Irishmen in this country , and throngh them the Irish nation m general , of the erroneous notions they entertain regarding the feelings of their British brethren towards them ; for this is no isolated expression , bit the concentrated voice of three millions of people , fearlessl y expressed through their chosen repnwentativesy and where the address of aiy particular community , or puV « meeting , might , be censidered merely as the voice of an individual , this would ppe ' ak' the voice of a mighty nation , and could neither be silenced , misunderstood , nor trifled with .
Mr . O'Connor ' s exposition of th « consequences of the di * franchisement of the 40 ? . freeholders in Ire ^ . land was admirable . So lonr . said he , as these men were useful to their landlords b y their votes , they were thought worth preserving , and thongh in political bondage they were not in starvation ; but no sooner , were they renderedof no avail for the political aggrandizement of theirlaBdl 6 rd , than , likehorsej ! inoJonger able to bear their masters , they were seat to the tanyard , ami * tbe mockery aud jeers of these to whose pride and power tony had been so long subservient . And now Englishmen and Scotchmen , continued the
speaker , you are sugenng for this act of political injustice to Ireland , by having your labour cheapened , by the influx of my starving countrymen , wha natnrally thiak they have a right to follow the food they assisted in rearing . Whether die committee appointed to carry bnt Mr , O ' Connor ' s news may eventually decide upon an address or a deputation to lrelaad , or both , we anticipate the very best results from the discussion of the question at thi * ti » e , and we looV confidently to a response at so distant date from tke roused and wtouged inhabitants of beautiful but misgoverned Ireland .
Wednesday , February 20 . Mr . C om ™ , Chairman . The Secretary baring read over the minutes of last meeting , the following gums were announced as r * cei » ed for the Nntional Rent . Dr . TAYtoit announced that ha was instructed by Mr . O'Brien to hand in the sum of £ 10 from Mr . O Brans constituents of Leigh , as s first cuntribtjtion . Dr . Taylor was also instructed to state that such liberality was tbe more praiseworthy , when it was considered that tue town in question contained more than 8 , 000 hand loom weavers not earning m « re than from 5 s . to 6 s . per week . ( Hear , hear . ) r » D : * , AYL 0 B al « o paid in £ 6 sterling , from Mr .

Mr . Deeqan then handed in the gum of £ 10 X- B ? .-n rom Hyde ' Sudybridge , Glowop , aBd New Mills . r The Secretary then read the report of the committee for drawing up the rules aud regulations . Mr . W hittll moved that tbe consideration of the report be postponed till to-morrow . Some discussion ensued , when the motion was withdrawn , and tke question uroceeJed with , when a Ions and desultory conversation ensued , ocenpying nearly , or fully , two hoars : but as the whole matter will come to be considered when the advice » f Couusel has been taken , and tht » regulations printed , we think it unnecessary to enter upon the subject now .

HOL&E OF LORDS . —Monday , February 1 $ . Lnrd > v * INCHII 5 EA pot a question to Lord Durham , relative to tne appointment of Mr . Tnrton . His Lordship said—Hh had felt it te be his painlol duty , during the last Sension of Parliament , to draw their Lordships' attention to the appointment of an individual as adviser of a Noble tarl who then held a bigh » itua < ion under Her Majesty ' s Government . The answer of the Noble Viscouut on that occasion led him to infer that he disapproved of tbe appoi nt ment , for be declared that ha lelt surpri-e and n-gret ( such were the Noble Viscount ' s words ) at the occurrence . Now , in
looking over the papers which had been laid on tha table with reference to Canada , be did not find a single document that had any relation to the sabject . He wisked . therefore , to know whether it was the intention of the Noble Yi 4 eoirat to lay oh the table any information relative to thi 5 appointment . If the the Noble Viscouat did not mean to do * o , he sheuld kuhmit a motion to the House on the subject Lord MELBOURNE replied , that he did not mean to lay before the House any document connected with tbe appointment ju question . Lord W 1 NCH 1 LSEA said , theu it i « my intention to submit a motion to the House on the subject tomorrow .
Lord DURHAM declared thai neither Lord Melbourne nor any other Minister had anything to do with the appointment in question ; tout jt wai one which he had made on his own sole responsibility ; that he was ready te defend it ; that , s » far from considering that be had acted ' wr 6 fig * . he believed that he had acted property *; tofd'ithe ' -w « re placed again in a similar situation , he wpuld readil y avail himself of Mr . Tnrton ' s assistance . . , - At the request of Lord H ARDWICKE ,-whobad , to attend a Corn Law meeting in Cambridgeshire on
Thursday , Lord COLCHESTER postponed bis motion je ) a * tive to the Navy from that day till Friday . . The remainder of tbe night was occupied with h discussion upon Lord BROUGHAM'S motion , that evidence be taken on oath at tbe bar « f the House relative to tbe effects of the Corn Laws . His Lordship did not divide the House ( it would have been useless to have done * o ) and the motion was negatived . The Honse adjourned at a quarter past eleven o'clock .
Tuedsay , February 19 . First came a leng talk about whether the Corn Law question was an open question in the Grey Cabin e t—after which . On ihe motion of Lord SH AFT ESBURY , itwn * ordered that no petition for a private bill shall be received after the 2 Glh of March , and that no report from tbe judges on a private bill shall be received after tbe 30 th of April . In answer to a question from Lord COLVILLE , relative to a recent outrage on the British flag at Vera Cruz ,
Lord MINTO said , it was undoubtedly true that a pilot was taken out of one of Her Majesty ' s packet * and placed on board a French corvette . When a knowledge of the circumstances was received in thin country , bis Noble Friend the Secretary for tbe Foreign Department was apprised of it , in order that a proper representation should be made to the Government of trance en the subject . But before any steps could be taken en that point Government bad two days ago received despatches from Sir i . Douglas , stating tbat when Admirable Bandin was apprised ef the circumstance , he had in a very courteous and handsome manner tendered the most full , ample , and satisfactory apology . " Lord COLVILLE said , it was a most
unprecedented thing to force a pilot from a neutral vessel in order that he might conduct a French force to attack or invade his country . " Lord VY 1 NCH 1 LSEA moved , pursuant te notice , for copie * of papers relative to the appointment of Mr . Torten-.-LorJ MELBOURNE said , that the papers mored for would not give the Noble Lord the information he desired , and he would therefore supply it himself , and state the course which he had individually taken . This his Lordship did in . the following terms : — After what had occurred iu their Lordships' House , he ( Lord Melbourne ) wrote privatel y to the Noble Earl , then the Governor of Canada , expressing his disapprobation of tbe appointment sf
Mr . Turton , and his hope that it would be forthwith rescinded . In answer to this tbe Noble Earl replied that he considered his honour pledged as ^ t 6 the appointment , and therefore most distinctly refused to take any such course as that which was suggested New , whatever might have been the real merits ef the caw , he had not thought it right to interfere with the government of the noble Earl , and their Lordships would therefore not be surprised at his merely recommending the removal of the gentleman alluded to , instead of disturbing the Noble Earl ' s government by actuallv insisting on it . Thus did the matter stand , and mure serious events occurring soon
afterwards , thu transaction became merged in the effects reatlting from them . Bot , seeing that this question , wan one'of a personal nature—that no very great information would be obtained as to the earlier psut . of th # -, transaction by the production of . any despatches , and that , as to the latter part there was no other to be had ihau tbnt which he had now given , be trusted that the Noble Earl wonld not press for the production of the papers . " Lord D . URH ' AM threatened , that if ton . motion were not withdrawn , he would prow an investigation into the case of erery public man who had received bh appointment under Government alter having been convicted ol adultery .
