HOUSE OF LORDS.

Feb. 17. In reply to a remark by the Earl of Wicklow, in reference to tithes in Ireland, Earl Grey said, although he would not admit that the law of tithes was a grievance, yet it would be clearly seen by the evidence before the House, that the manner in which the law was executed was so. There could neither be safety to the Church nor tranquillity to Ireland, till an entire change was effected in the mode of executing that law. The meaning intended to be conveyed by the "extinction of tithes," was a commutation, or some other provision for the clergy. Feb. 24. Lord King, in presenting a petition, having expressed a hope that Government would not adopt coercive measures for the recovery of tithes in Ireland, the Earl of Eldon called on Ministers to take care how they legislated on the rights of acknowledged property, which tithe undoubtedly was. He would sanction no attack upon it; and when April.-VOL. XXXVI. NO. CXXXVI.

he found any number of people coming forward, and saying that the House must abolish a particular kind of property, he thought their Lordships were called upon to defend their independence, and to declare, even on account of that demand, that they would

not.

One of the petitions set forth that the property of the Church formerly belonged to monastic institutions, and that, as it was now diverted from its original purpose, the tithes of the Established Church should be abolished; but he begged leave to ask the lay impropriators of this country if they agreed to that proposition; and he desired to know if they were willing to surrender their property because it formerly belonged to religious houses?

Feb. 27. Earl Grey, in answer to a question from Lord Aberdeen, admitted that our Government had received information respecting the French expedition to Italy, but the Noble Earl refused to enter into any ex

T

planation on the subject at the present moment.-Earl Grey, in reply to an inquiry from the Marquess of Londonderry, said he expected that the Belgian Treaty would be speedily ratified by all the parties to it.An animated discussion ensued on the question of Irish tithes, in the course of which the policy of the Government with respect to Ireland was condemned by the Duke of Wellington and other Peers, and was defended by Earl Grey, Lord Melbourne, and Lord Plunket. This discussion originated in an inquiry on the part of the Duke of Buckingham, when the promised measure respecting Tithes would be brought forward? -Earl Grey assured him that Ministers were not inattentive to the subject, and that the contemplated Bill would be submitted without delay to the other House of Parlia

ment.

Feb. 28. The Earl of Roden presented a mass of petitions from places in eight counties of Ireland, signed by persons of varied opinions on political and religious matters, to the number of more than 230,000, complaining in the most decided terms of the system of public education introduced into Ireland under the sanction of Ministers, as unwise, impolitic, and unchristian. His Lordship quoted Mr. Stanley's Letter, and spoke at considerable length in reprobation of the system. These observations gave rise to a very extended discussion.-Lord Plunket strongly defended the Commission under which the public grant on account of education in Ireland is to be expended.

March 2. The Marquess of Londonderry rose avowedly with the intention of presenting a petition, which he afterwards stated he did not intend to present, and made some severe remarks on Lord Plunket, for which he was repeatedly called to order; and at last a resolution of censure was proposed to the House, but on the Noble Marquess making an apology, it was withdrawn.

March 6. The Lord Chancellor, in moving that his Majesty be requested to have the report of the Common Law Commissioners laid before the House, announced that the Commissioners had come to the conclusion that imprisonment for debt, whether on mesne process or execution, ought, if possible, to be abolished. A cheaper mode of recovering debts under 601. was also recommended in the report.

March 8. The Marquess of Lansdowne, after commenting upon the open outrages and violence that had long existed in Ireland, growing out of the tithe system, submitted a series of resolutions to the House, founded upon the report of the Committee on Irish Tithes. The object was to secure immediate relief to the poorer clergy; to provide, by investment or rent-charge, provision for the clergy; to suggest means by which the collision between the clergy and

the people should be prevented. The immediate relief to the clergy, to whom arrears of tithes are due, to be secured by an issue from the Consolidated Fund; and the Government to be empowered to adopt measures for the recovery of those arrears of tithes. The resolutions also express the expediency of instituting a rent-charge, or investment on the land, as a permanent commutation of the tithes now chargeable.-The Earl of Wicklow expressed his regret that a better plan had not been devised; he had expected a much more satisfactory measure. After a protracted discussion, the resolutions were adopted.

March 9. Lord Strangford moved for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the state of the Glove Trade. The manufacturers attributed their distress to the system of Free Trade, and the consequent unlimited importation of gloves; and he trusted that the advocates of free-trade, in particular, would not oppose his motion, as they ought not to fear, but rather to promote inquiry into the efficacy of their principles. His Lordship detailed the differences that had characterised the trade and the wages before and after the adoption of the freetrade system. -The Bishop of Bath and Wells supported the motion for the appointment of a Select Committee. The glovers of Yeovil, and other places, were in the greatest distress.-Lord Auckland said it was with considerable regret that he found himself compelled to oppose the motion. He was quite sure it could not be productive of any real good. There was no parallel between this case and that of the silk trade. The French gloves were exposed to a duty of 22 per cent. and the amount of importation had fallen off. He attributed the distress in some parts of the country to the introduction of a new species of glove. He contended that there was no smuggling in the glove trade to any serious extent. If this committee were granted, committees would also be required on the cotton, woollen, and every other species of trade. The Duke of Wellington said, in consequence of the conflicting opinions on the subject, he should support the motion for inquiry.— Their Lordships divided. The numbers were, for the motion, 33; against it, 41; negatived by a majority of 8.

March 12. The Earl of Eldon moved for certain papers connected with the discharge of his duties while Lord Chancellor. The object of the noble and learned Lord was to show that although he had held office upwards of forty years, he could challenge the strictest investigation relative to the bestowal of any place by him during that period-that certain situations were granted to his son twenty-seven years ago, at the gracious recommendation of the Sovereignthat they were reversions-that the rever

sions had not yet fallen in-and that, even if they had, the profit was not near 12,000l. a year. They did not equal what he had lost by the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor, &c. His Lordship also mentioned that he had not sought the Lord Chancellorship; he was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and it had been his own wish to remain in that station. The papers were ordered.

March 13. In answer to a question put by the Earl of Aberdeen relative to the French expedition to Ancona, the Earl Grey said the French Government had avowed that their commander had exceeded his orders at Ancona; and he doubted not it would be found that the English Government had not been unmindful of the interests of this country, and that the affair at Ancona was not likely to disturb the peace of Europe.

March 16. The Duke of Wellington moved for various papers, pursuant to notice, with a view to show the fallacious character of M. Perier's speech in the French Chamber, respecting foreign affairs, in consequence of the occupation of Ancona. His Grace observed that he by no means thought lightly of maintaining the friendly connection between this country and France, but he contended that, for the preservation of peace, and the retaining of proper power by this country, England must also be on friendly footing with the other great powers of the Continent. His Grace also referred to the conduct of France regarding the Belgian revolution, observing that at first it was discountenanced by France, as the documents for which he moved would show. The Duke expressed his conviction that M. Perier's speech showed that his principles were calculated to stir up revolution.-Earl Grey said the granting of the papers would be highly inconvenient to the public service;

at the same time he admitted the correctness of the Duke of Wellington's representation, respecting the proceedings of the Administration of which his Grace formed a part. After this admission, and the statement of Earl Grey as to the inconvenience of producing the papers, the Duke of Wellington said he should withdraw his motion.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Feb. 17. The House resolved itself into a Committee of Supply. Sir J. C. Hobhouse proposed the Army Estimates for three months, ending the 31st of March. There was a decrease in the expense on the quarter of 15,300l. in the effective service, and an increase in the non-effective of 35,1317. The Right Hon. Gent. moved a resolution that the number of land-forces employed be 89,483 men. The resolution was agreed to, as were also several other resolutions, containing the items of the estimated expense. The House went into a Committee

on the Malt Drawback Duty.-Mr. F. Bar-
ing moved that the drawback of 1s. 2d. a
gallon on spirits made from malt in Scot-
land should be discontinued, and in lieu
thereof should be imposed a smaller duty
than at present on spirits made in Scotland.
The resolution was agreed to.

Feb. 20. In Committee on the Reform
Bill, the 55th amended clause, &c. having
been disposed of, the Committee proceeded
to Schedule A. Instead of the boroughs'
names being put to the vote alphabetically,
as had been done heretofore, they were pro-
posed in the order in which they appear in
Lieutenant Drummond's list, thus begin-
ning at the smallest borough first-namely,
Old Sarum. On that being put from the
Chair, a long discussion arose on the prin-
ciples which had guided Lieutenant Drum-
mond's calculations; after which the Com-
mittee proceeded rapidly with the list, and
"scheduled" fifty-two boroughs, the case
of Appleby having been postponed.

Feb. 21. In Committee on the Reform Bill, it was proposed that Appleby, which stands No. 53 in Lieutenant Drummond's list, do remain part of Schedule A. This was opposed at considerable length. The Committee eventually divided on the proposition, when there were, for the disfranchisement of Appleby, 256; against it, 143; majority for the said disfranchisement, 113.

On the proposition that Amersham stand part of Schedule A, Mr. Croker moved that Midhurst be substituted for Amersham, but it was negatived. The Committee afterwards proceeded with Schedule B.

Feb. 22. Mr. Knight moved that the House go into Committee on the Master of the Rolls' (Ireland) Bill; a Bill to enable the right of that Judge to appoint his secretary, to be tried at law. It was opposed by Government, and supported by the Opposition, aided by Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Hume, &c.-After a great deal of discussion, the House divided, when there appeared, for the Bill, 88; against it, 84; majority, 4.

Feb. 23. The House, in Committee on the Reform Bill, proceeded to discuss the remaining part of Schedule B, which was gone through, with the exception of Dartmouth, this being posponed for farther consideration. A long discussion ensued on the proposal to rescue Helstone, in Cornwall, from the Schedule, because it contained a Yeomanry corps, and a division was called for, when the numbers were, for the motion, 258; against it, 179; majority for Ministers, 77; and Helstone was ordered to stand part of the Schedule.-There was also some debate on Midhurst; but it was eventually agreed that this borough should stand part of the Schedule.

Feb. 27. The Bill for new-modelling the Naval Civil Departments gave rise to a very long debate, and was eventually read a se
