IMPERIAL P ARLIAlVIENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY, MARCH 5.—A variety of petitions were presented, among which was one from Charlton, Gloucestershire, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath.—Lord Roden, in pre- senting a petition from Ireland in favour of the proposed measures for the pacification of that country, detailed a case of outrage in the county of Westmeath. His lordship observed—The House bad been charged elsewhere with what was called the indecent haste with which they had hurried through what was called the Irish Coercive Bill. He thought, and felt himself justified in saying, that any individual who held up their lordships' house as not caring for the comfort and protection, or for the liberties of the people of Ireland, when it passed that bill, must either make that assertion in ignorance, or for some sinister motives of their own.-Adjourned. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6.- Lord Suffield said that he had seve- ral petitions to present on the subject of slavery in the West India colonies, but that in the then thin state of the house he should limit himself to the presentation of two only. He felt it to be is duty at once to state, for the information of the house and the country, that the great object of the majority of those who had hitherto thought proper to exert themselves for the abo- lition of slavery had been to leave the subject in the hands of ministers, and to allow them full time and leisure to perfect those measures which had been stated in another place to be in the course of preparation, and which were described as likely to prove satisfactory to all parties concerned. There was, however, a ru- mour afloat-indeed he need hardly call it a rumour, for the fact was almost notorious-that the measures, brought at length to a state of maturity, had been submitted by government to the con- sideration of the West India body, who had, most unadvisedly as it appeared to him, thought proper to reject them. Under these circumstances, he thought that those persons who, out of consideration to the government, had hitherto been induced to forbear bestirring themselves actively in fuitherance of the abject in view, would no longer suspend their exertions nor did he believe that the public would be disposed to bear the disappoint- ment of the expectations which had been raised, with any degree of patience. The forbearance which had hitherto been displayed he trusted, would not be mistaken for apathy and indifference to the highly important subject of the emancipation of the slaves. There was, he could confidently assure their lordships, no such apathy and indifference in the public mind, and the delay in the settlement of the question was solely owing to the opposition made by the West India body, towards whom the public were at present disposed to act liberally. He warned that body against delay, as he was quite persuaded it would result in rendering the demands upon them much more extensive, and would cause those demands to be urged with more determination than ever. The noble lord, in conclusion, observed that two days might not elapse before he might consider it his duty to call the attention of the house to the subject in a more specific way.—Some other pe- titions were presented, and the house adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, MARCH 5.—Lord Ashley obtained leave to bring in a bill to regulate the labour of children in mills and factories. The bill was ordered to be printed, and the discussion to take place on the first or second reading. IRISH DISTURBANCES' SUPPRESSION BILL. The debate was resumed. Mr. Lefroy supported the bill, and entered into a defence of a learned judge, against whom some imputation had been cast on the previous night by the hon. member for Drogheda. Mr. Ruthven and Mr. Daunt opposed the bill Lord Acheson and Sir Charles Coote spoke in favour of it. Mr. O'Connell then rose, and in a speech of great fervour and eloquence reviewed the whole of the arguments which had been adduced in support of the proposed measures, and strongly argued upon their inconclusi veness. He also minutely criticised the different clauses of the bilh and insisted that they were not only tyrannical and unjust, but from that cause wholly inoperative, except to effect mischief. He also mentioned many glaring enormities committed in Ireland under the authority of similar measures, aud instanced several cases where innocent persons had suffered death, flogging, &c in pursuance of the summary convictions of courts-martial, and whose innocence was not proved till too late. The hon. gentleman said the provisions of the bill were of such an unbounded nature, that by the 16th clause, any hon. member of that house was liable, at the mandate of the Lord Lieutenant, to be seized, carried to Ireland, and immediately tried by a court martial. I (said Mr. O'Connell) stand on the threshold of the British Constitution-I stand up to defend my country from the fatal legislation that would turn loose upon her every bad passion of the human heart, and give one man the power of trampling at his pleasure every inhabitant into a dungeon. (Cheers.) It has been asserted that the disturbances in Ireland are all attributable to agitation. On inquiry, directly the reverse will be shown to be the fact. Is not Ireland sufficiently distressed—has she not sufficient grievances to account for those disturbances ? But you promise relief. Yes, you promise a measure for the regulation of some of the abuses of the church. But are you quite sure that that bill will pass elsewhere? Will it not be prudent at least to delay the present measure until we see the reception of the mea- sure for relief, such as it is, elsewhere? Will it not be wise to adopt my hon. friend's amendment, and to keep your hand on this bill until you ascertain the fate of the other? But I am not making any compromise. I require relief for distressed Ireland, without adverting to any ulterior consideration. I ask you, while you propose the measure under our consideration, what is to be- come of the poor, of the distressed Irish people ? For their evils you appear to have no remedy. I alone offer a remedy and that remedy is a domestic legislation. (Hear, hear, hear.) How can you alone show that the legislature of the United Empire is bet- ter for Ireland ? By anticipating me. By proving that an Im- perial Parliament can redress the grievances of Ireland. Instead of that, you turn away from Ireland the look of kindness, and you assume towaids-her the frown of severity. You leave her to be ground to the dust, to be stretched on the rack, to be broken on the wheel. You leave every evil and grievance of which she complains unnoticed and uncured. The Irish people ask you for bread, and you give them a stone. You must be feared before you are loved. I deny all your statements. I deny that you have made out any case whatever. I deny that witnesses have been intimidated. I deny that jurors have been injured. I deny that agitation has occasioned the existing disturbances. I deny that those disturbances are other than predial in their character-the disturbances of the last forty years. You have never conferred one single blessing on that unhappy country. You have never taken any step towards her which has not increased her woes. You have never visited her but with your anger. You have invariably waved over her the sword of desolation. You have violated the treaties which you have made with her. You have broken the compacts which you had en- tered into with her. You have neglected to fulfil the promises that you have lavished upon her. True, you granted the Catholic Emancipation but you did not do so until nine-and-twenty years after you had pledged yourselves to do it-you did not do so until five-and-twenty years after the parliament of Ireland must have done so, if you had allowed the parliament of Ireland to continue to exist. You are now going to pass an act, sub- jecting the people of Ireland to courtsmartial, and depriving them of the right of Habeas Corpus; and you tell us that it is to put down agitation and the endeavour to repeal the Uuion. Do what else you may but until you do justice, never can you expect to obtain you object. The present generation may perish. Individuals may be singled out and destroyed. But the soul of Ireland is indestructible. One hope lately beamed on the people of Ireland. Seeing a reformed parliament-knowing that all the members of which it consisted had constituents-and believing that they would act as the genuine representatives of the people, we hoped that you would give us a redress of our grievances -but you have given us a bill for their perpetuation and in- crease- (The hon. and learned gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers.) Mr. Cobbett-I move the adjournment of the debate. (No, no, no.) We have heard a great deal from the other side of the house of midnight murders and assassinations. If this bill pass, it will be the murder of the constitution. If we must murder it, at least let us murder it by daylight. The motion for adjournment having been negatived, Lord Althorp rose and commented upon some of the observations made by Mr. O'Connell. He insisted upon the necessity im- posed upon his Majesty's government to abopt stern measures. He could assure the house that, however much he might regret the necssity for such a proceeding-and none regretted more deeply than he did the condition of society which made such a step indispensable—none more sincerely deplored the extent of severity which had become unavoidable-but at the same tim", seeing that necessity, and admitting its pressure, none more heartily or cordially united with the other members of the King's government in framing the measure which circumstances de- manded, and in laying it before parliament—no one could more sincerely or earnestly urge its adoption. (Hear.) The present was not a struggle between tween two parties, but an anxious effort on the part of the house to adopt the course which the necessities of the country required. It had been matter of ob- jection against the bill that it did not afford a a sufficient remedy for the evils of Ireland. He admitted it did not, but it would go to remedy one of the evils-that of the extreme insecurity which rendered life and property almost of no value there and as to further and other remedies, he trusted the house would do him the justice to believe, that there existed as sincere a desire on the part of his Majesty's government as on that of aoy of their opponents to remedy as many as possible of the evils which af- flicted that unhappy countiy. At that late hour he should not trouble the house with any further observations. (Cheers.) The house then divided, when there appeared— For the first reading of the Bill 466 Against it 89 Majority for ministers 377 The bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday next.-Adjourned at a quarter-past two o'clock. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6.—Mr. Hylton Joliffe took the oaths and his seat for Petersfield, in the place of Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Lord Sandon presented a petition from the merchants, &c. of Liverpool, setting forth the great injury inflicted upon the ship- ping interest by the restrictions on the trade to Brazil, and praying for the removal of those restrictions. Among the allegations of the petition were that the Brazil trade is one of the most important branches of our foreign commerce—That owing to the imposition of heavy duties on the chief productions of Brazil, viz., sugar, coffee, cocoa, rum, &c., the importation of those articles was en- tirely prohibited—That Brazil, not possessing any extent of ship- ping, British manufactures and produce were carried out to that country, almost exclusively, in British vessels—That, in conse- quence of the prohibitory laws, upwards of two millions of British capital is forced into other channels, giving employment and en" couragement to foreign shipping and manufactures—That the effect of the bounty on the exportation of refined sugars and bas- tards is not only a direct annual loss to the Treasury of from £300,000 to £400,000, but an indirect tax upon the people to the extent of one to two millions sterling—That the whole po- pulation, including slaves, of the British West India colonies does not greatly exceed a million of souls that the exportation of British manufactures for the use and consumption of those colonies amounts only to the annual value of from one million and a half to two millions sterling, whilst our exports to Brazil, as already stated, exceed three millions, and to Manilla, Java, Sincapore, and the Indian Archipelago, and other countries, af- fording similar productions to Brazil, about two millions, with a population and field for the consumption of our manufactures of incalculable extent—That the whole amount of the products of these rich countries, admissible for the use and consumption of this kingdom, does not exceed the annual value of one million sterling, the residue, of about four millions, being thus forced, by the highly restrictive laws of this country, into foreign chan- nels, and to the employment and encouragement of foreign ship- ping and manufacture—That the Government of France is taking steps to remove similar impediments which obstruct the trade with Brazil and that country—That, if the restrictive laws of this kingdom are longer preserved, this object of the French Govern- ment will be greatly aided by British capital-That it is the con- fident belief of your petitioners, that if the production of Brazil and the Indian Archipelago were admitted to the use and con- sumption of this country, on terms affording reasonable protection to similar productions of the British colonies, additional employ- ment would be given to from fifty to one hundred thousand tons of British shipping, and this kingdom become the emporium of Europe for those productions, as British capital is now the means by which they aie sent to Europe and that it would, also, afford incalculable scope for the extension of the industry, manu- factures, commerce, and revenue of the kingdom. Several hon. members supported the prayer of the petition. A variety of other petitions were also presented, the discussion upon which was devoid of public interest. A select committee was appointed, to inquire into certain charges of bribery at the elec- tions, municipal and parliamentary, for Liverpool. Mr. O'Connell asked the noble lord whether he would be able to fulfil his engagement with regard to the Irish church reform bill, and whether the bill would be in the paper this week. Lord Althorp said that the only delay that now intervened was occasioned by the copying out of the bill, which would be ready immediately. Lord G. Somerset asked when the report of the poor law com- missioners would be ready to be laid before the house. Lord Althorp said he could not answer the question at present. Mr. Sheil wished to know whether it was the intention of his Majesty's government to introduce any measure with respect to Irish tithes? Lord Althorp said that it certainly was the intention of go- vernment to biing in a measure respecting Irish tithes, but that he could not at present state when that measure would be intro- duced. SUPPLY-SUGAR DUTIES. The house having gone into committee of supply, Lord Althorp rose and said, that the first resolution which he had to propose to the committee was one with respect to the sugar duties, and he did not feel that it would be necessary for him to go into any detailed arguments upon that question. As he was about to propose a regulation which went to continue this tax upon sugar, he begged to observe, that he proposed it upon the ground upon which all taxes must depend-namely, that it was required for the service of the state. He did not think that the state of the revenue was such, taking into account, too, the other questions of a fiscal nature that were likely to come under the consideration of the house, as to enable him to propose such a reduction in the duty on sugar as would be calculated to give any substantial relief either to the West India colonies or to the people of this country. Under these circumstances he begged to propose as a resolution for the adoption of the committee, that the duties upon sugar and molasses impofed by act passed in the first year of the reign of his present Majesty should be further continued. He would add, that though this resolution did not specify the time that the duties were to be continued, it was in- tended to continue them for a year. Mr. Hume said he should, when the resolution was reported, move an equalization of the duties on East and West India sugars. After remarks from a few hon. members, Mr. Ruthven said, more deliberation should be used before they imposed taxes to the amount of four millions upon the people, and he therefore moved that the chairman do report progress. The motion having been seconded, a division took place, when the numbers ap- peared- For the amendment 8 Againstit. 86 The resolution was then agreed to, and the remaining resolu- tions having been put, and carried without opposition, the house resumed, and the report of the committee was ordered to be brought up this day. The Solicitor-General brought up a bill for the limitation of suits and actions relative to real property also a bill to amend the laws relating to dower also a bill to amend the law of cour- tesy and a fourth to amend the law of inheritance. They were severally read a first time, and ordered to be read a. second time on Wednesday next.—Adjourned.
