In that letter, which was signed t• l'iudex," the writer wished to make the public br.iev.: he had malevolently attacked the Bishop of Droinore, and persons with whom he had been all his lire on terms of friend ship. lie repeated again that he bad no personal hostility to w:ads the University of Dublin ; and he was Anxious to say, it case he was again niisrepresented, that he should claim the pro tection of thut House. The noble Earl concluded by moving the committal of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was persuaded the noble Earl would not press the committal of this Bill until the House was prepared to receive it. A noble and learned friend (Loud Redestlale) who opposed it was not present.—With respect to his own opinion, it appeared to his ♦,urdship, that some amendment in the Act of the ath of Que• Anne would answer oil the object of the noble Earl's Bill. The Earl of BLESSING 'ON said, his intention upon this occasion was to get the Bill into Committee for the purpose of having it printed. 11 it should incur the adverse opinion of the noble and Wattled lord, he should not press it.

NEWPORT rose, putt suant to notice, to bring outward his motion for an address to his ;Majesty on the state of Leland. He said he never rose will greater cm bat rassinent than he hit on the present occasion. He now ;note titan ever deplored that lie had failed to excite attention in that house to the subject of the state of Ire land, the condition of its population, &c. Had he suc ceeded, perhaps nastily of those evils that now grieved them a uuld not have attained their prose tit height; but the motion that he should tow make was nearly sand:trio its terms to his motion of lalii. That motion was sup potted by three able advocates; two of them (Mr. Pon sonbv and Mr. Giattan) lad sunk into the grave; the third (alr. Plunkett) still lived—but lie was taught not to expect that able person's assistance. (Hear.) He should endeavour to be as lola as possible, but he trusted they would bear with hint while lie traced sonic of those causes which had led to the degradation and disorganization of Ireland. The natives of that country, wherever they went, were respected ; but bow came it that a! home .11 was disorder?" It was for the legislature to trace the causes of so disastrous a state of things, as well as to supply remethis. (Hear, hear.) Ireland, however, as yet, had little to rejoice at the union with this cottony. Seven milliuns of people had to lie governed, but how acre they governed ? instead of governing by uniting them, the principle of " divide anti govern" hail been adopted wills fatal success. That result had followed which it was frightful to ront emplate. Taxation had enor mously Met eased; the gentry were broken (loan, and all respect tor the proper authorities seemed to be gone. Penal coiles and fsightful systems had destroyed the coun try, even without alma oval the Exchequer. Such was the harvest of discontent, that the iron grasp of the tax gatherer was paralized by the iron hand of poverty. There was indeed no harvest of revenue, as he had anti cipated. The right lion. hart. concluded with moving an address (similar to that proposed in IOW) to his Majesty, to (Erect that the situation of Ireland should be taken into most serious consideration, and praying that if oilier measures were required, those of a tranquillizing charac ter, rather than proceedings of coercion, should be tried ; and assuring his Majesty that the house would co-operate in such Illeastires as did not proceed on the principle. of coercion, and as were deemed calculated to restore obedience to the laws, and respect fur the constituted authorities. Mr. GOULBURN opposed the motion, on the ground that it aliplied a tell.t!te 041 the Government. He cup chided with moving the previous question. Mr. S. RICE supported the uriginal motion, maintaining that it was taut meant to convey any censure on Govern ment ; it did nu such thing; and lie thought it was calcu lated to ba productive of good to Ireland. Mr.C. GRANT spoke against the motion. Recollecting what was the state of 1re1411 , 1, and Litowieg how itijm ions would be the result of adopting any mutant that eve', indi rectly censured the Government, he could not support the motion. If the qitestion went to a division, he must vote for the amendment; but he hoped the impolicy of pressing the question at a moment like this would be seen, and that it would be withdrawn. Mr. ELLIS, of Dublin, scald, the present disturbances of Ireland had their origin in cettain transactions of the year I 514; and lie was convinced of one fact, which he de tied any one to deny, and that was, that all the distur bances, all the agents, all the rebellious, were Catholics ; not a single Protestant, whatever his distress :night have been, had been found engaged in any treasonable prac tices. Mr. PLUNKErf rose to reply to the last speaker, and strongly deprecated the attack which had been made by him on the great hotly of the Catholics of Ireland, as tending to produce the most mischievous effects and con sequel' sta. With regard to the system of police and the magistracy of Ireland, lie could assure his right hon. friend that those subjects were now occupying the serious atten tion of his Majesty's Government. Tim system of edu cation had Mien received the attention of the house, and malty measures had been passed with rrgetd to it; whe ther all the beneficial tke's which had been yawl:tea laud testified from those measures, he would not pretend to say ; but he was sure that Guyer 'tat would readily give its attention to any propositions which might be brought tarward on the sithoect. Mr. PEEL said, titer: use which the debate hatl taken rendered it unnecessary fur hint to trunble the house at any length upon the present occasion. In a hat he had to say, lie would abstain from making any aliusiou to the Catholic question ; and lie thought that the right 11011011181)1e baronet (Sir John Newport) had acted wisely in refraining fawn making any reference to that aitestion in the address which he sabillitted to the house tie haul aatl I:clicht !o be connected with the Govern ment of Ireland fur nix Yeats, and be should consider that he would have been guilty of a great dereliction of duty if he bail pet milted (hat terin to elapse Without bestowing his most serious attention to all the subjects to which the right honourable baronet hail adverted. Other matters, to a Melt uu 81111.1811 had been made on the present occasion, bad some years since been strongly pressed upon that considerait too of the house, and he appealed to the right honourable bartmet, %sheltie& those snlijects aid toil (down the gravest atietaien lawn Cioveriimeut. lie itad rnmcutred with the light bum member for the Una vessity of Deaths, iii Woking that the tithe system was a solace' of great daticulty awl Jaeger. The gear ral conduct ante clergy of Leland had been much misunderstood end much utistepie,catect. Their forbearance wan, in all immures matt ex ; WAd litai vet y eilaarainauce, iu has ;on, would oppose Oil Lot ...jet:Ill/1i to aity measure of cinumutatimo or tithes; fur the ;mulls. who %vie iblCodetll to he beaelited on such:it pia.:sJiia; imam mot tamusette: ..uute hardly de tit with than they siert under the present system. Alien u few farther observations on this point, the eight hon. gentleman .nuclailed unit entreating t he Itnehe In rem savetiedswith tint declarations which had been made on the part of Govei n mem, to reject the address of the right hon. hart. Sir J. NEW PORT then rose and suid, (hut after the ex. plantations which had been given on the part of Government, and particularly the pled,,e *hid! had been given by his right lion. friend the A ttornty General for Ireluild, whit had tin own oil upon the Ironbled water:., that IltenlinfeS fit the relief of the petiole of 1. eland were under the consideration of Government, he would not pets his 'notion to it d' • n. Ile thought it itecustury to deny that he intended, by bia mo tile, to convey any rt Ileetion UllOll the present Governownt of Ireland. If the motion had been of welt a character, be would have been the Let Mall in the House to propose it He had !A:iced uirtm a former occnsi.ni, as he did 110 W, that that he placed the fMlest confidence in the noble Minima, at the head of that Government, but it did not necessarily follow that he must place the !tame antplit it reliance upon all the other members la the cabinet. Ile was happy that lie bail:called the attention of the House to the tutnect, ranee it had been the UCCetaUll of eliciting a declaration of the intentions of GUYS:Millen( ' st Inch appeared to loin very sa tisfactory. Tile motion was then ne.qatived without a division. Upon the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the house agreed to adjourn, upon its rising, to Wednesday. The other milers of the day were disposed of, and the house adjoin tied at one WEDNESDAY, ArtilL 24. As the order for calling over the House stood for to-day. the gallery was not opened till after four o'clock. The gal lery stairs, however, were ciowded at an early hour, told stun after the opening of the gallery it was tilled. Sir J. NEW PORT duriog our absence, we understand, moved that the order fur the call be discharged. Ile stote.l that his object had been to secure a full attendance of 1111'111. hers, and as his object had been answered, there was titi tic. casion to continue the order.—Motion agreed to; older discharged. Sir G. HILL presented a petition from the me►chants of Loodonderry, praying fur the imposts' of all additional tax on Ghee-e awl 'litter. Mr. DAV EN roar supported it, as by our heavy duties on salt great injury was done to the domestic trader, while advantages were given to the foreign manulacturer. P. Gitlin ordered to lie on the tublg. Sir It, SHAW, at the request of Lord Londonderry, who was absent on account of illness, postponed his motion ou the subject of the Irish Window Tax till Monday next. Petitions, eoinplainiog of agricultural distress, were re settled from the Eastern part of Sussex, and Flintshire.— Read, and ordered to be printed. Petition, against the Irish %%below tax, were presented from the cities of Dublin and Cork. Oidered to lie of the the table. Sir li. SHAW again postponed his motion on the subject of the window tax fill this day week. LICENSING Sgsarm.—Mr. II USKISSON presented a petition from persons in the *trinity of Reading, praying dust the trade in beer might be sit free. He hoped the selject would be wlou investizbled. He had seen many letters tin this subject, particularly from Reading, where the licensers were brewers; that established, a complete monopoly. As to the proceeding of the brewers in London, he was suety not to see any mesubec in his place connected with that trade if lie had seen any one he should have Irked whither there was :my intention to lower the price of potter T That pi ice bad been lost. red in the country; and it there were 1111 in tention avowed to lower the price of porter in London, then, whit the support of the Ilouse, he should endeavour to curry into effect that plait at vi filch lie had helore hinted, to pre. vent the Loudon brewers from deriving all the benefit result ing from the repeal of the malt tag.—(Cheers.)—Hut he ex pected that ::enal proceeding would be rendered unnecessary by the Landon brewers, though tardily, mitering the price tit porter, lau as to meet the reduced prices of the malt, 6cc. Petition read, Mr. LOCK!! ART said a few words, expressing himself, as far us lie mulct stood him, in favour of opening the trade. 'Air. G. BEN N was also favourable to the opening of the t r ides Why might nut that trade he asllpCll as the trade of :misers, &r. 1 The only thing that had 'untied him in the coasideration of this question was the immense quantity ut property already vested in public houses. Mr. I lUSK ISSON was glad to see the member for Wey mouth ( qr. BUYL011) in his place. Perhaps lie would state a lien the public might expect a reduction in the price of porter. Sir F. BUXTON could not exactly my at what particu lar period the reduction in the price of porter was likely to take place ; he could, Imo ever, state, that it would be Fool —and io such a minter, us to be satisfactory to the right hon. gentleman. With respee t to another subject that had been observed upon, accordieg to a hat lie had understood since he came into the House, lie meant the opening of the dude, that would be in his estimation, a great advantage to the public bre*, el s. Those persons, it most be remembered, were nut we only owners of public house, there were many publicans aho were trotters of the houses iii which they resided, or haul paid a good deal on going tido the I it* occupied by them; and to moat the trade would cope- I rate on theta as a confiscation of their property. At on e to open the trade, would be one of the harshest nicasuics adopted.—Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. VENISON presented a petition fluor the tanners in the neighbourhood of London. The CHANCELLOR of the I:cur:gut:it said that he could uot, at the preseut rounitait promise any reduction of this tax. Mr. CA LCRA FT replied, that was the observation ap plied to eat ry tax complained of. (!!tear, hear.) As he was on his legs, he V 1 011 id ask whether any measure was iu con templation regarding one-pound country book notes, which, au cording to esi,tiiig Live, was soon to tra•e. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER stated; that Ile should have se commuunatioo to make uu the subject iu the course of a few days. Petition ordered to be printed. Mrs Tlll4ooollli 1100 K.—Mr. G. nEN NET gave notice, that to-morrow lie should move fur further papers respecting Mr. Theodore Hook. Ile should then also put bI.IIIIC (V11.16011:10 ou« of the ministers connected with these papers. Mr. BENET presented a ',claim; from Salisbury, in favour of Mr. Mut, a lier-e '• adioniible conduct" it tel.,- gir-d in language that ...celled some laughter in the House. Pet.lion ordr el! to be prided. Ex EN IN Al u.—Mr. LITTLETON presented a pe titans fi4:l, ..itirOtjs.lllle, complaining of thin systew of lx routs Its aid. The hen. motisber stonily coudetoucd 111: I
