Mr Ucktz thsegbt , that thouch several geatleman had spoken in ths coarse of the evening , the subject had btea very much shirked .

( Hear , hear . ) Now , as far as he ( Mr Hun's ) knew , it was spontaneous . He had made no c- - . mta'jnication to his constituents upon the 6 nbject ,
but tUe counauaication came , in tae first instance , from tSit-ca to him .

no one ssy that the casts that hi . d come out were all that bad occurred ; he did not beiievo they wcra a tw : n tietii pRr : ( heir , hear ) ; he believed that by far the Tester number c £ the members of that house had obtained their ssats by tSeioflaecce of the pocket .

ONisi . TioS . —TbesnVjeeloi colonisation , in reference to Lord Lincoln ' s motion carried en tbe 1 st of June , was made matter of discussion at the instance of t&atnoMelord . Ur Ha web said that the soble lord had quite correotly stat . d the mouon which he had made on tbe 1 st of June , 1 S 47 , and which was to the effect that an bumble address b ! presented toner Majesty , praying her H&jesty to taku intft consideration the means by which colonisation T 2 ii ; ht be made oubsidiarj to other measures for promot . iac tne welfare of Ireland . A commission was objected
to b . v the Rsvernmcnt , but inqniry was promised . On t > : e 4 th of June & select committee was oppointed in the Ilou'e of Lords to inquire in : o tha matter , and that ; - mmittee had cot as ye : closed its labours . Whether ; at committee would strike out a plnn by which colonisa-• i . on might be promoted without a large outlay of public < viney . h 9 did not know hut government waittd ruo re . n't of th&t icqulry .

A passsfcDger act natf been pafEed by which the mottullty in the emigrant sbip 9 had been greatly abated , anil Borne papers h 3 d been recently laid on the table to which he wished to call tho attention of tho house .

But besides this important measure , it was w 1 ! kaotvn that settlers In America were in the ha&it of Brnding home large sems of money to bring out fit Ir frieads bu > hitherto there had been few facilities for a similar practice in Naw South Wales . Arrangements had , however , been made , by which money paid into tbe hands of gevsinment there would be paid out by tbe government here , and the emigrants to New South Wales , would hava the same facilities as emigrants to America . The emigration last year had been enormons to New South Wales and South Australia , 17 . 000 ; end to Canada ( from January to June } , 17 * , 009 . This jear ,
deringth ? same period , it had reached 124 , 000 . These facts would show , that tbe subj < ct » alluded to by tbe noble lord in his question had not b . en wholly overlooked by thf government . Void Elections . —On the motion of Lord John Eds SKLt , it was acreed to that n& new writs do issue for the boroughs of Derby and Leicester before Tuesday , the 15 ; h of August ; and in answer to Mr A .

Sugae . Dcties . —The bouse then went into committee on the Sugar Duties . Lord G . Behtikck . made a Bpcech of four hours and a hblf duration in defence of protec . tion .

TUESDAY , JotT 11 , HOUSE OF LORDS . —raoTEcnoK of 5 ? emai .-s Biil , TheBiefeop of Oxfoid moTed ths third readii" - cf thi 9 bill . An otj ? cUonhad been ra ' sed to that part of the bill , which would punish procuresses , and which , it was said , mii ; ht be extended to houses for licentious induigence . Such was not the object of the bill . The Lord Chief Justice , and otber ofhislearnsdfrlendB , had admittei that no better measure could be deTiaed to meet the evil of which they all complained . It was not infamous houses , guoad infamotiB homes , which this act would tsucb , but the furnishing of such heuuB with in . mates .
Lcrd Beodghah said that two 01 his abjectionB to ? he bill had already been removed by the Btatementof the right rev . prelats , AltSoogb he approved of the measure , and was anxiom to sse sack an act passed , he felt that there were very great difficulties in the way of legislating on uuc& a subject . Tbeobjectof the bill ivas to prevent seduction for the lucre of gain . It was not tbe object of the measare to put down prostitutes who resorted professionallj to houses of ill fame , but to prevent the seduction oi innocent females . Therefore , this was a measure which meant one thing and enacted another . Would the house be jattified in passing such a bill ? The other law lordB concurred in this view .
Ths Bishop of Oxro&D persisted in taking a diviaion . He could not consent to postpone ths measure . He bad a gooa authority for saying tbat in various parts of the Continent , legislation had taken place on this Bubj act , and so far from Its having Increased immorality , the laws which had been passed placing difficulties in the way of ksepine optn brotheU had been attended with a diminu tion of immorality and vice . Ha entreated their lordehips to rsraembcr that 5 n rejecting this bill , they vrouM be espo 3 iiB that house , which stood high in the moral and religious estimation of the ceunlry , to the grievous evil of being thought that tkey strained at a gnat and errallowed a carnal .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —There was a d » y sitting for the purpose of receiving the report on the Sugar DutieB , and proceeding with the Encumbered Bitates ( Ireland ) Bill . The report was brought up by Jfr Bebxal . The lOtb day of Joly wa « fired , instead of the 5 ( b , for the resolutions to take tftect , e , nd a committee was appointed to fcring in a bill embodying the pr «> pO 9 l ( iona . The adjouraed debate oa the Encumbered Estates Bill was opeaed by Mr SABMEE . who expressed himielf greatly disappointed atfinding thatamcaBure , which had been for 10 maDy months under the consideration of the government , waB not of a mere comprehensive character than tha present . He tben effertd several iuggistions to render the bill more equitable and useful .
Sir J . Gbahah took a ciffarent view of this bill from tbat takes by the last speaker . Ha was not satisfied with the bill as it came down from the House of Lords , but ha looked with Eomo hope to the practical working of it as amended by the Solicitor Genesai , Every facility ought and must be glvtn for the conversion of Irisn estates Into money , and the amendments of the Soiicitob GeitibAL were calculated to give those facilities . He was snxloua to sea such a EubdWUion of land , now held by Protestant encumbered landlords , as woul ' d enable Borossn Catholics of small capltBl to becom ^ purchasers of it . This measure wculd lead to Bneu a subdlflBion , and therefore , he should give it his cor . disl tupport , especially as It was sound in principle end did sot work any violation of right .
Mr R . D . Bbowke heartily ccncutredln the ssntiments tiprcssed by the right honourable baronet towards this measure , which , he bellered , would be found acceptable to a great msjority of the most intelligent people of Ire . land . The bill was sbiolutely necessary in justice to Irish landlords , the owner * of encumbered property . Sir J . B . WiiBH opposed the Bill , which waa supported by Mr FS . QsBORtfEj , in an excellent speech , expository 01 the evils Of tbe present system of holding land in Ireland-In the course of his remarks he showed the beneficial effects of the subdivision of the soil into small estates . The hon . member for Carlow . ( Mr Sadlier ) had said that upwards of one million and a half of Lmd was for sale
in Irelaea . Why was it not bought ? Because your present stite of the law was so eipeniive ; titles were so intricate , and the transfer of land waB so dear , that no maa could attempt to buy hnd in Ireland . The lawyers » ere directly interested in keeping up tho intricate sta-< ute of limitations . He quite agreed that jou must havo a new register of estates in Ireland , such as you had in Belgium . Would it not be better for England to give a parliamentary title to estates in England S It would be tbund that there was a necessity for probing thU wound to the core . Look at ether eonntries where the law oi entail prevailed—in what a state were they ? Look at at Spain . The whole of Andalusia wa 3 held by three proDrietors . What was the state of Norway ? The po-

Ile 6 hould bo told to look at France ; but he maintained that in France there was a most atrin-1 gent hw of entail , bocausq in France the landed pvoprle-1 tor was compelled to subdivide hl 8 lands ; nnd what waB ! that but a law of entail ? He observed that an hon . gen-I tlemau , who was celebrated as a non-intervention bar . I rister , reamed to deny this ; but he said that any law which compelled a man to subdivide his property was , in ' fact , a law of eutail . Air Firm , in Ills' Tour in rehnd , ' who had written on this subject , toot precisely the same vievr , and proved thatthe efi ' ect of subdivision waa nothing more than the mischievous law of entail .

know what honourable gentlemen meant to do when they talked about tho danger of this bill ? Would any one say that it was possiblefor Ireland to remain in the state in which she was at this moment ? No grants of landed proprietors , no loan of money , no artificial stimulants to create labour for Ireland , would be of any 1 uso whilst jou had the law of real property In the StatO i in which it was . If you meant sincerely to eradicate crime you must go along way in destroying the law of property in Ireland , anil it was the buunden duty of the I house to adopt such measures as would create a race of small proprietors in Ireland . He did not care a farthing whether they were Roman Catholic or Protestant proprietors , and he was sure that the people were very much misunderstood , for they cared little whattbey were . He never found any dislike on account of religion , and he believed tbat there was a great denl more bigotry amongst people in England than in Ireland . There was a commission in 1841—nothing ewr came of these commissions—and what was the recommendation of the
landed commission as to fbo sale of esute ?? It said ' . It rarely happens that land ia brought into the market in lots of small amount . Estates are so enenmbn-td , thatthe expense which would attend dividing them deters proprietors from taking this course , although a larger sum would bo received . ' He wa 3 satisfied that by snch a bill as this you would raise the value of land in Ireland , and , which was of much greater consequenco , that you would increase the cereal produce of the country . What did the report say ? 'We believe that there aro large numbers ot persona in Ireland possessing a small amount of capitbl , which they would gladly employ in the cultivation of laud , and a still larger number hold land for rent who would cheerfully embrace the opportunity of becoming small proprietors . ' He thought that Ireland owed a tieep debt of gratitude to the English Solicitor-General for having stepped forward and given his attention to this measure : it was a step in the right direction . It was not for him to criticise the details of the-bill , and as a warm friend to Ireland he should give it his entire
support . Mr H . A . Hebbest supported the bill . Mr . F . O'Cohnoe tendered his thanks to the honourable and learned Solicitor . General for having introduced this bill . In 1834 he had predicted in that house that the landlords would be brought to their present position , and ho had told them that at last they would bo obliged to apply to Parliament to do that which it wrs better to do by themselves . They looked upon their estates as being « f palitical value , and now they were obliged to give them agricultural importance . When once the people of Ireland had their own industry protected , they would not ask for a better political system . The landlords of Ireland had bees long su ' 'ject to the dominion of Irish solicitors , and thtf time was come when the house must a « t inde . pendently of landlords and attorneys . If the hou 6 c mutt act
wished to do any real )> ublic good , they independently of both the landlords and the attorneys . He was rejoiced to perceive that it was at length admitted there w » s no escape from the difficulties that existtd except by bringing the land into the retail market . What would be the effect ot this bill ? It would be to raise the value of the land fifty per cent , in the retail market . He condemned Irish members that they should have come and asked for stringent measures which would have been rendered unnecessary by the simple performance of their own duties . Tho honourable baronet ( Sir James Graham ) had said , take care you do not produce a mortgage panic . It was likely that you would , but it would give a greater \ 'alua to the estate mortgaged , and then it would be easy to have a transfer . There would be no difficulty in procuring ample mortgages as a substitute for those which might be called in .
Mr S . Crawford , Col . Dunne , and other members , having sppben , the amendment of Sir Lucius O ' Brien was withdrawn . The bill was tben committed pro forrna , after which the Cbairman n-ported progress , and obtained leavo to Bit again ob Thursday next .

THE VICTIMS OF WHSGGERY . A rancorous Whig Attorney-General , a partisan Judge , and middle-class Juries , steeped in hatred towards everything savouring of Chartism , hare ontraged Justice , and'Hung our persecuted friends into dungeons . Fussell is sentenced to two years and three months imprisonment ; Williams , two years and one wee k Sharp , two years and three months ; Vernon two years ; Looney , two years and two months ; and Ernest Jones , two vears .
These sentences ,. savagely severe as they are . do not include the whole of the punishment the 11 convicted'' patriots- have to encounter . At the expiration of the imprisonment , Fussell' is to find bail , himself in ? 00 l ., and two sureties in 501 . each , to keep the peace for Jive year ; Williams , Sharp , and Vernon , sureties to the same amount as Fussell , for three years ; Looney , sureties to the same amount for two years ; and Ernest Jones , himself in 20 ( U , and two sureties in 1501 . each , to keep the peace for Jive years . If unable to find bail , Looney may remain in prison upwards of four years Williams , Sharp , and Vernon , Jive years ; and Fussell and Ernest Jones , SEVEN YEARS .
Could the system as it at present stands endure seven or even five years , or the Whigs remain in office that time , we are not confident but that the victims would remain that length of time in prison . Should there be no change within the next two years , we fear it will be found somewhat difficult to procure bail for the imprisoned patriots . Poor Williams told the Judge that his own miserable condition was also the lot of all his friends and acquaintances , and to sentence him to find bail for three years , was , in reality , to sentence him to five years impri sonment . Of course Williams ' s words failed to
effect any alteration in the sentence . Williams ' s case is probably that o f two or three more of the victims . Ernest Jones , from his position in society , may have more friends able to offer themselves as sureties , but it will not be all that are able who will be willing to do so . The men are to be bound to "keep the peace'' for two , three , or Jive years . But who will venture to define every possible breach of the peace ? Is tbe delivering of a Chartist speech a breach of the peace ? Yes , if the Attorney-General chooses to prosecute , for there is no charge which could possibly be brought against a Chartist , that a . middle-class Jury would not find " proven " The sentences passed on the
victims are intended to aaa them for two . victims are intended to gag them for two , three , and five years , over and above the imprisonment ; and either in prison or out of prison , gagged they will be , unless before the expiration of the first two years , the people obtain a reversal of these inhuman sentences . Our third edition of last week contained a report of the trial of Sharp ; this week the Star contains reports of the trials of Looney and Jones .
The Counsel for the defence appear , each and all , to have honestly , ably , and courageously discharged their fluty . We were present at the trials of Messrs Sharp and Ernest Jones , and can conscientiously affirm that the speeches oP Sergeant Wilkins were truly admirable . But wit , pathos , eloquence , and legal lore were all thrown away upon the Jury . It is our solemn conviction that had Jesus Christ stood in the dock chrrged with the offence of Chartism—which , indeed , is ' only another name for the principles proclaimed by the founder of Christianity—and had his adv © cate possessed the inspiration of Isaiah , the wisdom of Solomon , and the eloquence ol Demosthenes , the Jury would without hesitation have found a verdict of "Guilty . "
When brought up for sentence the defendants comported themselves most gallantly . Ernest Jones looked round the Court after the manner of a caged but untamed eagle . Beneath his defiant glance the Judge blenched , and the Attorney-General shrunk into less than his usual emaciated insignificance . T king a mean advantage of the position of the defendants , the Chief-Justice lectured them on the enormity of the offences of which the Jury hnd found them " Guilty ; " as though he believed them guilty of any other offence than thatof seeking the ascendancy of Justice . He
charged them with only having sought to influence and excite the People , withont having made any pretence to discuss grievances or rights . Well does Chief Justice Wilde know that the grievances and rights of the Working classes have been discussed for years , but without effecting even an effort on the p « irt of the ruling classes , to right the wrong of the millions . " If public meetings , " said the Chief Justice , " were allowed to be
made the means of exciting the people to revolution , it was quite evident that public meetings must be done away with . " This is an unblushing declaration on the part of the Whigs , that the people may hold public meetings just as long as those meetings , from the want of numbers , unanimity , op national action , are ineffective ; but the moment they become dangerous to the ruling faction they are to be put down— "done away with " ri ^ t a ? ° tKe ^^^ ° " C 0 nstituti ° n "
It is clear that the defendants were tried nominally for sedition , but were convicted for a very different offence , not laid to their account in the indictment , but imputed to them by the Attorney-General in his persecuting speeches . Very cunningly he made sundry allusions to " Communism" and " French terrorism , " well knowing that the Jury knew nothing of Communism but by evil report . The Chief Justice played on the same strine imputing to the defendants
that they had taught the people to look forward to ihe sharing of the wealth of the country—meaning a general scramble . The speeches of the defendants contain no foundation for this imputation but no matter , the end intended was achieved —that ot making the victims additionally odious to the ignorant , selfish Jury class If ^ "r r beiniii ^ te ( l as Ch ' irtists > «« 1 convicted as Communists , they may begin to ask themselves wh y they should stop short at advocutwg political reform , Landlords , ^ monopo-

lists , and profitmongers would do weJJ to consider whether the recent trials may not have done much to enlarge the objects of popular agitation . " The Charter and No Surrender ' was the motto of the men just sentenced to a long and cruel incarceration ; another motto , more terrible to the usurpers of political power and the monopolisers of the wealth produced by other men ' s labour , may , ere long , be the rallying cry of the outraged millions ! I * i **• 11 _ 1 . 11 *
Ihe few words uttered by Fussell , Williams , and Sharp , did them no discredit . Losney uttered a few sentences of brave contempt for his own and his country's oppressors . Vernon seemed to take the sentence , most unjustly passed upon him , with perfect coolness , but said , he " wished to know whether they were not to be treated like human beings ? Since they had been in gaol , they had been compelled to
tear their meat to pieces with their teeth , and to endeavour to get the peel from the potatoes , covered with grease , in the same manner . '' He was told , in reply , that he must abide b y the regulations of the gaol , whatever they were Even the Daily Nexus denounces the foul treatment complained of by Vernon , as perfectly brutish and disgusting . A correspondent of that paper gives the following corrobo . ration oi the complaint made by Vernon : —

Several respectable ruJian& in Court gviniwi when Varnoii complained of this horrid treatment ! We mast express our admiration of the brief but eloquent speech delivered hy Ernes *;' Jones . For some minutes the Judge sat seemingly paralysed , the Attorney-General hid his mce and shammed to be asleep , and all in Court listened with breathless- silence . Presently the Chief Jtwtice remembered the part he had to play and interrupted the speaker , telling him he did not sit there to- diseuss political questions with him . Mr Jonss persevered , but repeated interruptions , concluding with the hasty passing of the sentence , at length silenced our gallant friend * He left the dock with thecrv of
" THE CHARTER , AND NO- SURRENDER . " We learn from the Morning Chronicle , that " a very general regret has been expressed ( among the shopocracy ) that a severer sentence was not passed upen Ernest Jones !" Such are the tender mercies of the liberal bourgeoisie . After doing its utmost to incite persecution , the Times , on Saturday last , came out with a
hypocritical article pretending to recommend lenient sentences on the Chartist Defendants , on the ground that severe sentences would send them out of gaol more bitter and desperate than when they entered it . On Tuesday the Times had the assurance to speakof the sen » tences as " a very mild allowance of punishment ! " We can assure the Puddledock bully that such mildness will " rankle in the blood' ' of the victims , and will command anything but the " gratitude " of the Chartist party .
One word here on the conspiracy of the Whigs to goad the Irish people to rebellion , On the 3 rd inst . a number of young men were sentenced to imprisonment ; and one to seven years' transportation , for the " crime" of " drilling and training . " The poor fellows were convicted under the GOth George III ., one of the eternally infamous " Six Acts " passed in 1819 , and which Mr Denman , ( now Lord Denman ) described in the House of Commons as " Six Bills which went to overthrow all that was valuable in the Constitution .

Working men of England , the Whig faction felt your power in 1841 ; they shall feel it again . Down with " the base , bloody and brutal Whigs |! " i Chai'tiste ^ you have done nobl y in vour efforts to save yosr persecuted friends from the dungeon ; you have failed , but you have the consolation of having done your duty . Another and as holy a duty you must now per f orm ; you must rush to the rescue of the wives and
children of the incarcerated patriots . To the extent of your humble means give generously , and prove to your aristocratic and profitmongering oppressors that you are able to turn aside the worst of the poisoned darts aimed at your suffering friends . The victims are in the clutch of Tyranny , but their families must not be victimised . The persecutors would like to ^ loat over the sufferings of women and children , but that devilish delight the people will deny them .
