a country worth fighting for i ( Cheers . ) Thij were engaged in a noble straggle , and thej were opposed in a most ludicrcns wsyi First canu the threat of civil war , from the twaddling , tottering iron duke in the House of Lordst , and in the Bonse of Commoiss from Peel ; who accofljpanied it with the treasonable falsehood , that the Queen had declared that she was an enemy to the Repeal of the Union . They laughed that threat to scorn , knowing that they were safe beneath the shield of the constitution so long as they violated no law , and gave no opportunity to their enemies to attack them ; . while at the same time they were ready , and etij ] were ready , to meet any attack that might be made npon theny—( cheers ) . Wo to him who assailed them . They would never abandon the ; constitution
nnder which they lived , but they wonld know how to perish in it if necessary—( cheers ) . | Then came Sngdcn upon them , who had the audacity to < lo SO , knowing that if the assertion were- even tree , it would still have been unconstitutional to have made vsb of it . The next step was a proclamation against the bailad-singerp , with directions to the police to watch every old woman who sang songs in the streets , to take her up , and bind her over to keep the peace—< langhter ) . Wellington , Peei , Graham , and mad Stanley , conld think of nothing better fot Ireland than a proclamation against old women . They were so mnch afraid of them that } they sent a war-steamer there to keep them quieti How , he had a great mind to put four old ¦ women into a boat -o-morrow , with , the son of a sea-cook as coxswain , and send them over to take that steamer . He said
so V'ns early that the officers jsight have fair notie —( laughter ) . Something more serious , however followed , for if they arrested ft single old womai nncer that proclamation , he knew an attornej v » ho vronld bring an action against the person arresting her—ihear , hear)— -so that not an arrest would take place without an ( action , in order to try the good taste of the policemen who should arrest . Bnt then came the zsoat frightful part of the opposition . Sir J . Graham , representing the power of the Crown in iheHonse of [ Commons , h ^ d the atrocious audacity ( he spoke of sewf paper reports ) to assert that tho prelates , ckrgy , nobility gentry , and laity-of Ireland were gniityief perjury
a-tamst the oath or aiiegianee . He ( Mr . irfonneu ) v / as ashamed to say , that with a few excepthms , the Irish gentlemen wno were present had not treated the Home Secretary as he deserved . Sir W , Barn >» told him he was insolent . That was a tolerable hint ; but he regretted to find it stated , and hoped it was not true , that the O'Conor Don accepted a kiad of lef t-handed apology . He was treated as a perjurer , and ahoald not have aeeepted anything short of the most complete retractation of so degrading * charge . It was a false—it was a lying , charge ,-( Cries of" It was . " ) When Sir R . laglis made it in his ( Mr . D'CoanelPs ) presence he told him he was a "liar f and Sir Robert Ingl » never at ^ .
tempted to say it again . But Sir J . Graham had the audaeity to repeat it , and in doing so was hallooed and applauded by an immense majority of the House of Commons that shonld continue ; to make laws for Ireland . { Hear , hear . ) 1 Bo $ Sir J . ( irah&m went so fara&to say that Ireland had sot enongb , and coald get no more , and boasted of having granted her Catholic emaacipation . Thank you for nothing , said the gaUypow £ La-. ghter . ) . Why it was by meetings not one-tenth part so large , as the present that they carried antbe struggle for Catbolio emancipating meetings wbieh were sever so large ^ as to Tequire to be held in the open air ,. and which always took place is a poblio building . Bat what pnblio
building ^ he should like to know , would contain the i number of people who had remained till thai late j hour to express their determination to obtain a i Hepealof the Unioa r ( Cheers ^; Catholic enancipation was but the fnlnlment iiy a centnxy and a half of the treaty of Limerick , wbieh England , to her eternal disgrace , had atrociooKly violated . Sir J . j Graham boasted of having given thtm Corporate j Reform ^ and struck off ten bisbops from the Prwes- iant church . As for the meaeixre of reform , it was j an insnli toIreland ; and , withregardsothebiabops , j " ne did sotoare how-l ' sw ox how-many » thcy Jware , so ; long as tfeey kept tbe pay . It was e » use to- strike j off ihe bisbops unless the mosey was strnck off Also , j tnat
± ie never woniu cesatisned so long as oaageor lehgiooB servitude remained "which compelled the j > eople at large , instead of the Protestants ! oaly , to support the Protestant churaJs . Sir J . Graham said i that nothing more shonld be concaded to [ Ireland . ! Bnt hor oonld tell them that . there should , and that j a Repeal of the Union mu&l-be conaeded . ( jCheers . ) , Mr . O ? Connell then procseded ta enumerate the . varioas advantages which he said would accrue to ; the c-nntry fros a Repeal of th « Union—vizi ,, the , aboliSoa of the tithe ren ^ eharge * and the handing , over of the teaaporalitiesof tho Protestant churohfor the use of Ue nation at large j the repeal of the j Poor Law ; Ya * e by Ballot ; . th 9 extension of the . Suffrage to every Householder , and to every j married mas , whether & . toaseholdor or nat ; l and the banging home of the absentees . In j reference to thiB last he observed , \ that a 1 Consertative gentleman in C 5 are ( Me . Malon v , of j
Silcannon ^ spent £ 2 , 430 a j . e&r in wages , and em- j ployed his men throughout the entire year . Sow , ; he eartd not if he -wese a . Conservative or ; Orangeman , he would say , that that was & good maa , and he hoped that God wonjd prosper hinxhere , and blesB . him hereafter—( chasrs ) . Another advantage hei alludei to was fixity of tenure . He had > list of , 103 fasilieB , whom a misbegotten Eaglishman named Wyndham , in the oounty of Clare , had turned off , one property . I £ taey had a fixity of tenure this wonld cot happes . Loid Clancarty , he understood , had issued an order to his teB&ntry not to attend that meeting , peaceable and loyal as it was . Fixity of tenure would prevent landlords from thns makiBg
serfs of their tenants , and depxiving them of every feeling of iu ^ ependt nee . Mr . St . George , of Be&dfort , had , he -understood , acted in a similar mftaner —a man who had been deprived of the commission of the peace by the Whigs , and re-inBtatea by the Tories . He was , moreover , informed that Lord Clancarty compelled his Roman Catholic tenants to send their chilcren to Protestant Bchools ; and that was the man who put forward proclamations against political meetings to petition Parliament ! A Repeal of the Union would very soon put a bridle into that fellow ' s month , and it wonld be worth looking for on that account alone —( hear , hear ) . A Repeal of the Union wonld remove the county rateB from the tenant altogether , and enable Ireland to pay off her sh ? re of the national debt in about five years . Was
there a man amongst them that wonld not } undergo fatigue , and toil , and labour , and even death to obtain these advantages ! or his conntryl ( Cheers . ) Was thtre a man amongst them that "wonld not risk his life , if necessary , to obtain them ? ( Renewed cheers . ) Bnt he wanted nothing of the kind . All he wanted was , that they shonld pay one shilling each , and enrol themselves as associates , and that they should let him have 3 , 000 , 000 Repealers before he proceeded to take his next step . They had the sanction and support of their venerated bishops and tbe anointed priests of God , who wonld mot lend him their countenance if they were violating the : law or instigating to immorality . Under that sano-! tion and snpport he exhorted them to organise . The ' con . and Jearned gentleman retired amid the most i enihnsiastic cheering .
Mr . D . Bbowsb , M . P ., was called to the chair , and thanks being voted to Lord Ffrench , the people rapidly dispersed . It being 5 o ' clock , Mr . CConnell then- drove to the residence of Dr . Brow ne , the Bishop of Galway with whom he dined .

TO THE PEOPLE OP IRELAND . "He must watch who would overcome . " Fellow CotJSiRTHEH , —In former letters ad dressed to jon , the members ol the Sepeal Association , and to Mr . O Connell , I laboured to impress npon jour minds tbe necessity for adopting immediate and- energetic measures to obtain tee so losg talked of , and and so much loved , Repeal of the Legislative Union . That you have at length aroused from yoni apathy , J rejoice to perceive ; bnt that 1 have some drabtfl as to the happy result of your present agitation , 2 cannot cenceal either frem myself or you . 2 nave ever given you credit for " honesty of intention ; " asd sin still of opinion that you are , and ever vrill be , invincible , provided tout energies are not improperly directed , or
your labours rendered fruitless through design or inconsistency by those in whom you so implicitly confide . I Trcnld not willingly offer tfce slightest objection to damp the ardour of yonr hopes ; % ot as I have so often ¦ nrgeti yon to action , I may be permitted , bow the struggle ha « commenced , to battle in your ranis , and -whilst we combat the open ioe together , > cautiously waieh and guard against tbe wiles or treachery of internal enemies or pieteoded Menus . Ton ^« 11 doubtless remember that in defending the pro . Tojry policy of the English Chartists at the late Parliamentary election , J stated that they defeated the Whigs to' get rid of fail * , treadserona , and hypeoitical pretenders to political virtue ; and that they exalted 1 the Tories not for love of them , but for " a love of fair p . ay" —as one enemy , and an open one , is of \ two evils the best This opinion they stiil , held ; and dipclninring alike connexion with either . parry , and fearless of the envy of the one , or the
power of the othsr , stand boldly forward the advocates cf justice , the enemies of oppressors , and the friends of the oppressed . In this light , ' then , you ' must view ihe Chartists ; and , as I have the honour to be one of list body , 1 can , as your countryman , vouch for the truth ol-what 1 assert Here , then , we have *« honesty of intention" and consirtencY pi principle" united , asd the moral might of a generbua people ^ ready and willing to aalst n > to attain our country ' s redemption . But tins aid , strange to « ay , is ' rejected I iAn * -why J As aa Irishman , aa a Repealer , and asa Charttkt , I again ask , -why ? In the name of justice , in the name of Ireland , I ask , -why do yon refuse the aid here -offered ? Kow , mark me 2 Upon fhin refusal of cooperation 1 base my doubts and fears for Ireland ' s ¦ sreaL It is upon this little stretch of despotic authority—this fettering of the will and reason of the Irish—this petty attempt at renewal of old and forgotten prejudices , that I am led to suspect the sincerity of your leaders , and disappointment to your

/ hopes . Do not take it in . I have no desi . " e to iinptach O'ConueU j but still I bave a right to c *?^ you against all possible chance of tbe R-peal queetto , being put in abejacee , as fcimerlj . It will bo remembered that ihe case is widely tf-ffereut betwixt tbe Irish Becking for Catholic Emancipation , and seeking for a Repeal of the Union . The first of these you obtained , but not as frequently erroneously stated , by individual JB 1 SH AGITATION , nor indeed without the co-operation of the people ef Great Britain . In tbe case of Emancipation , those who were even opposed by prejudices wtre easily von to your opinions , from the knowledge , that if even yon were successful , it -would not hrzard their interests , bo long as it did not ] confer the chance of decreasing
their majorities in tbe houses of Parliament ; and which According to the Act of Unior : could not , at least immediately , take place . Besides tnifiteatei , aod consequently prejudiced , parties saw fchat b ? emancipating tee Irifch , tbeyJaVo gained an advantage hj dispossessing the forty ^ shilling freeholders of the fran » "hise . This deprivation was fully an equivalent for the boon yon received ; for the Government by that means increased their own strength by lopping off & vital member "om your body politic How can I see that the Emanc »/>*¦ tion was in reality no benefit at all ? For two bud p * " reasons—first , that you had no security for its permanency , so long as it conferred bo further political privileges than the right of Catholics to ait in ( a minority ) 1 in tbe houses of Parliament ; and , secondly , because
only a very small ponton of the Infib people have derived any advantage whatever from its existence , and because any measure to be good thould be beneficial to aJl alike , without : distinction of persons ? To explain this , I will suppose Mr . Lane Foz wonld , as be threutfnded , bring in ia bill , say to-morrow , for a repeal of the Act of Emancipation ; what earthly means would job have to prevent it being carried in the present Parliament ? What political strength er influence have yon to oppose , in case ssch a circum 8 tan « e were to occur ? The chances are entirely against yoh ; for I have little doubt the Torres would not hesitate t » enslave you ; nor could yon depend on the Whigs ; for should they even vote ; in your favour , it-would be oaly for the porpese of wheedling themselves into your
confidence as heretofore , and , following is their former footsteps , coerce yon for yonr kindness . I have no hesitation in statin /; that it is my firm ctravictlon that the Whigs confidently hope to benefit by the present agitation for Repeal ; and , if yen will oily examine for yourselves , yoir wilt , I am certain , be convinced of ita truth . In an article of the Weekly dispatch newspaper et the 37 th instant , iord John Bussell is aade to boost of the amount of confidence reposed in his , the Whig , potty , by the Irish ; and further states that a& the goed (?) done in tan years by the Whigs , has been destroyed ! by only as many months of aS'cry Administration ; - and adds for bis ( tbe Dispatch ) part , that he believes ? tbe Repeal agitation 1 st onJy a means to coerce the Government ; as it ia
the last thing he would tfcsnk of , or tbe Irish : jtquire , or actually hope to-obtain . Now , what is all tais tantamount to ? Why , virtaally to prepare the Iriffh mind to receive the intelligence tint ere long-. tbe Repeal will be placed in abeyaroa , and H justice to Itreland" Jjenoe fonh administered . This cea « nl 7 be obtained by a union of tbe Irishrwith the liberal or Whig part ? .- In proof of this , rvronld draw your attentiiro to tbe fact , that' -whilst in office the Whigs-forgot tbeirpledges to do yon justice ; . but now 4 hey menoly boast of- favours done 70 a , which you never received at their hands . They can cry out like political hypocrites ( as thty&re ) against the introduction of aa Arms Biil-for Irelandi and forget that it trao one of the favours which they- themselves * gave yon in . return for- yonr services ; and that it wa » they who famished Sir Robert Beel with ; the opportunity to beard even the Irish members with iBConsis *
teacjr for crying out against a measare brongirt in nndsr the sanction of a Tory administration , to wfaieb under a Whig govexmnent they offered only a mere passive resistance , aad even in-many instances tuppcited . This ; and ( withoufcmeaningany c-ffence ) the display . ofnames and personages who have ever been known as Wbiga ( or nict-naned liberals ) who grace the pages aad swell tbe-ranks of the Kepealers , look * ominous for poor Irelaad becoming again tiw > dupe and victim of- Wbiglinfe philanthropby . If ; tbsa , Emancipation -was obtained bjthe co-cpersiion of the Boglish , aad for tbe reason I have aasigned , tbs question of the Rttom had also-lta support from another but a more interested motive oa the part of tbe middle cIoesc * . who , it will be ramembered , oever yet cordially agreed , or * ver wished for any coaaection witb the people , save w&en they used them aa s means to accomplish some political scheata foe their awn ageraadisenient .
The Reform Bill usscarried fa , tbe face of-Tory opposition ; bat did it benefit those whom it protended it would besefit ? Nos-forif it bad , the first fruits of Irish intsrference ¦ v «> uld not have been the Coercion Bill , -which emanatad from the Whigs ; . aoi the introduction of the present unpopular and accursed Poor Laws amongst yea .

OPPRESSION IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON . A HARD CASE . There is no greater mistake than to suppose that justice is not withheld from the poor . There is in this prison a poor gentleman , who is anxious to meet a jury , bnt , because he is poor , he can neither force hib prosecutor to bring Lim to trial , nor obtain his reltase from prison on bail . He is , in fact , the prisoner of his enemy , confined nnder the warrant of a Judge , during tbe pleasure of his prosecutor . ' People outside assume , because a Judge has said so , that , ** If any man hath wrong or injury done to him by his imprisonment , we { the Judges ) have the power to release him . " - That the words of this emphatic declaration of Lord Htoe were true when that great and wise Judge used them , there can be no doubt ; bat how far they are carried out in practice at the present day , will be seen from the following case .
Last January an indictment was preferred before the grand jury , sitting in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , at Westminster Hall , against Mr . T . for alleged perjury , stated to have been committed in an affidavit which he swore on the 11 th day of that month ; and " a true bill" was returned on Saturday the 28 th of January . About four hours afterwards , the prosecutor obtained a Bench warrant under tbe hand and seal of the Chief Justice , for Mr . ; T . * s apprehension , and be was next morning ( being Sunday ) taken into custody by a police constable , and ' conveyed to a station-house , where he remained until the following day ; and at three o ' clock of that day { Monday , the 30 th of January , } he was taken before a Judge at chambers , and committed t » prison for want ef bail
Mr . T ., although ' a member of a highly respectable family , was unable to procure bail , and be determined patiently to remain in prison until the following term , when , from the prosecutor's declaration that "no time aboold be lost in bringing him to trial , " he expected to be brought up to ; plead and take his trial . Easter Term arrived , and lasted from the 19 th day of April to the Oth day of May ; buttheprosecmtor took no proceeding to bring the case forward . Vacation intervened , and then Trinity Term arrived ; still nothing was done by the prosecutor .
Mr . T ., wearied out by waiting , and with the proBpect before him of the long vacation , at last wrote to the prosecntor , stating " his readiness to go to trial , and asking prosecutor whether he meant to go on in that term . " Prosecntor replied that " he would take immediate steps to bring Mr . T . up to plead . "

04 the Seh of June Mr . T . waa brought tato Com t , and pleaded " not guilty % ' ¦ ' ] and then moved the Couit to bind the piosecutor over , to prosecute , and to let him , Mr . T . ; out of custody ,-either on his own recogni-Z * n Ca » o' P * n giving such bail as he conld procure . He urged u P on tae Court ' s consideration the long time he ha& ue ) u nined in P » 8 ° n without -trial and conviction of a jury ^ -hia perfect readiness at &il times , since his imprisonment , to £ 0 to triaU and his unceasing anxiety for aii opportunity tt > establish his entire freedom from guilt , land his innocence of the crime charged against him , knd referred to the Act of Pasliameut 148 Quo . 3 rd , 58 . ) under the authority /» ' which tho warrant bad been granted upon which ne bad been apprehended ; and which Act directs , that 'in case a defendant
charged by indictment for any offence ( not being treason orj felony ) Bhall neglect or refuse to give bail for bis appearance , tbe Judge eball commit him to piison , there to remain ontil ho shall give bail , or sliall be discharged by order of the said Court in term time , or of one of ihe Judyes in vacation ; " which Act , he maintained , gave the J-adge po wer to discharge him , and particularly in a caso like the present , where the prosecutor hail Boj long neglected to brfog the caso to trial . Be also maintained that the Judges of the Quean ' s Bench could , in the exercise t > £ tbat p » w « t which they eDjoyed at cammon law , as well aa by the above and
other Statutes , admit him to bail in such sum only aa h . 'J could procure ; for the Act of William and Mary gev larjss it to been offence against the liberty of the anHv'ct to demand excessive bail , beifig in effect a denial of iai'l altogether . The Learned Judge , however , iu very hv linane language , informed Mr . T . he could not oempeljb . prosecutor to go on , and that he had himself to bU me for his long imprisonment , for be might have given ° aii long ago , and recommended him to apply to a J udge at chambers with the best bail be could obtain , So that a poor man in prison is presumed to be in V * 1 * 8 own custody , when be cannot obtain bail , and bis pirn ? cutor refuses to bring him to trial .
As I fcave airc&d v stated , Mr . T . is unable to procure bail , and he remain * * n prison , without trial and conviction . i Tbta , node * circumstances 6 ven of clear guilt , is a hardship , beeaiifc e imprisonment before trial jb seldom tokea Into aeeov infc •«* apportioning punishment after convictton ; but lo . the present case , if it be trne that the inccuesd is prepare , 1 to establish , by the clearest and moat uBfaipeacfiaWe evidence , bis innocence , it cm » unis ) to a great practkd c , Vetty to the individual It 1 b hardly possible to account fu * tue Beeming difference which exiBts in tbe adn > h » i « th'tion of criminal law at the Central Criminal CouT&frons that in practice in the Queeo ' g Bench , the highest Court of criminal justice in England ; Few persons hav * any knowledge of that difference .
A > t tbe Central Criminal Cbwrt , prisoners who are nottriedjand convicted or acqratted , are discharged * by proclamation at tbe end 0 ! eaoh Sextons ; and bad Mr . T . been indicted h » that Ccart , an d committed to I >* ewgate [ in January last , he moat nave been tried vr discharged before the « pirati « sn of flvo weeka . He has now jbean imprisoned five mcntb ? T . owing to the difference ofjractlce in the Queen ' rBeneh ; and under n » cironnistaaces can he now be brought to trial before November ; m jthat the pyactice of the Conrfc of © aeen ' g Beneh is ie a premium on persecution .. It 1 b impossible to say whetaest when th « prosecutor prefsrrod bia
indictment ( in the Queen's Etnch , he conte-jn plated the possibility of the accused beings feept so Iocg in prison without a conviction ; but it ia a fact that cannot be denied , that if the prosecutor bad waited from f&e Saturdayjwben n » procured a " true bill" against Mr . T . in tha vQao 8 K ?» - Bench , wail ihe fiAlouAiigi Monday morning ; & period of less than forty-eight nours , he might have indicted him at the Central Gtimtnal Court ; and in that cue , aa I have above shown , Mr . T-. must have been ; long ago brought to trial . Surely the Judges of tbe Coaitjof Qaeen'B Bench will do longer allow themselves to remain the instruments of iBJuatice for the gratification of malice !
It is cruel in tbe extreme to caarge a-ronn witb such a grave offence as-that of peTJnry ( which 1 b set less dangeroasj to tbe welfare of society than it is detestable in its nature , ) and not allow bim to- prove hie-inno * cence . Some men ( and it is not by any . means an impossible supposition ) possess each weak minds , and dread toe anxiety of delay and attendant misery ol impriBOBment so much , that rather than-ba confined fot an inde ^ nite period , they would plead guilty , though euch pitta were a manifest falsehood , in order , at a > dis
tant period , to be able to reckon with certainty on their restoration to liberty ; for tbe law takes no trouble , in such cases , to ascertain the truth of tbe accused's phsa—it only concerns itself with a prisoner ' s guilt . If he be innocent , and : thinba proper ta say otherwise , the law will preaume ; he is . guilty , however imposeible ; it ma . 7 . appear that he could have comsiitted the crime imputed to him * The danger arising from such » proceeding , to tho interests ef third parties , ia too obvious to rsquire mor * than a pasaiug remaik . -
It is true , arri it is all that can bo-said in excuse for tbe grievance in question , that an- innocent man , if wrongfully accused , may , upon tho acquittal of a j [ ury , maintain an action for a malicious prosecution ; but ' thai is a remedy accessible only to a . rich man . A pool mna would look witb horror at the prospect of litigaUag a suit , at law . Tnere ara tow men who have ewer embarked in such an entergvise , that bava not Kgretted th « ir folly ; , for a verdiat is not always a gain —it is of ton a loss to the succesaful party , and the ei > - tire ruin c ( his opponent lo a ca ? a like the present , it becomes a suhj . ecb foe the serious csnsideration of those interested in such matters , how far it may not be possible to subdue a man ' s spirit into ja false acfenowledguieat of guilt , and thereby kflict aii irreparable iBjury apon the adminiatra > tioa of justice .
In this particular case , ptruapB some guarantee against such & calamity may be found in the character of Mr . T ., -whose free , and apparently candid communications , induce the bfeljef that when be proteats bis innocence , he is prepared to prove it ; and those who abhor tyraany for tyrams ' s sake , vrill , doubtless , not withhold their sympathy from him . We know that be contrives to support bimaelf on the prison allowance , with the aid of some trifling gifts of a few shillings from sympathising friends ; and his wife , who is an accomplished and amiable woman , shares his ; captivity .
This prisoner is denied justice because he is poar . That poverty is manifest , when he is supported ouc of the " county money "; still , bafl is demanded . Thus , English Judges are , by such ''Court practice , " more unjust than Shylock . He only demanded his bond " the bond of allegiance is Trial—or Liberty ! - &asllers Fleet Pamr / or this week .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday , June 27 . The second reading of the Church Endowment BUI was moved by ' ¦ Tbe Bishop of London , who expressed his gratitude for tbe support he had received in his diocese in aid of church extension . One proof of this was , that ten churches had been required for the parish of Botbnalgreen , and nine were already erfcoted . Lords Monteagle and Brougham supported the bill ; after which it was read a second time . The proceedings , in themselves of no special interest , were diversified by a most violent attack by Lord
Brough-. im' upon Lord Aberdeen—principally for having on the previous evening declined to consent to any further postponement of his measure upon the Scotch Church , notwithstanding that Lord Brougham was obliged by indisposition to bo absent—but partly also because he ( Lord Aberdeen ) was not than present in his pluce ito receive in person the objuragation Lord Brougham had in store for him . He denounced tbe Scotch Church Bill as an insult passed upon the English Cliaiicellors for the purpose of giving self-importance to ihe Scotch Judges ; aud after complaining passionately of Lord Abcrdeen 8 absence , gave notice that en Thursday he would again bring forward the subject .
' Lord H-iADDiNGTOW endeavoured to defend bis absent colleague ; but euccoeded only in drawing down upon him a frt * h and more violent Btorm of vituperation . Lord SilAFTESDVRY , from the Woolsack , at length interposed ; und after a few words from Lord Campuell , who justified hiaLearned Friends conduct , their i , / i iibhipa adjourned , and so ended a scene which we believe to be almost without precedent , in the Upper House . ; ^—
