TYTHE SYSTEM, IRELAND. Mr. S. COOPER presented a petition from the county of Sligo, complaining of the extensive distresses in that county. as %tenni; of the tythe system. The hon. mem ber ob ,d, that the evil which abated the south of Ireland was to be introduced into another district. Mr. ABERCROMBY said, the Petition merited the moat serious attention. He hoped the house would pre. vent that extension of the evil whirls was feared. Speak ing of the t) the system, lie mentioned an instance where a clergyman in Ireland, in the costae of 15 years, had issued 6,000 processes for the recovery of tyilies. He admitted that the law was on the clergyman's side; but lie mentioned the subjert to show the House of Commons what the law sanctioned.--(Hear.) Sir J. NEWPORT spoke of the tythe on potatoes as one of the severest scourges that afflicted Ireland ; and if there was not some rrtnedial measure, suffering and outrage, unequalled by all that been heard of, would be produced. _ Mr. GOULI3URN explained some circumstances con nected with the petition. particularly the facts that led to the enforcement of the tytbe upon potatoes. Mr. HUME said, he bad postponed his motion on this subject at the request of the right bon. gentleman s and be had daily expected to hear that the government was about to do something to effect relief t but week after week had elapsed without any intimation being given; and if left to the right hon. gentleman and the minister, the whole session would, doubtless, be allowed to pass away without any thing being done. He daily received communications that convinced him of the importance of the subject, and he was only surprised that no member from that part of the kingdom had taken up the question. (Hear, bear.) Mr. S. RICE said, that the existing evils in Ireland had their origin in tythes, and not iu the rents; and he trusted that 'ere long, that the tythes would be cast ou the Pro testant land-owner. Mr. PLUNKETT admitted the greatness of the evil.— He knew of no remedy that would not affect the security of property; and then he feared that evils would be pro duced greater than those it desired to remedy. If they began with the property of tit.• clergy, lie did not know how that of the laudlord would escape; and thee where was the change to end t Sir N. COLTHUR.ST trusted, that the subject of tithes would be brought before the house previous to the end of the session. It ought to be brought forward by the mi. utsters.—(Hear, hear.) CIVIL LIST. Mr. LENNARD brought forward his motion for a coninsittee to inquire into the expencea of the third class or the civil list ; that respecting ambassadors, envoys, disc. to ascertain what savings could be produced. The hon. ,u.•mber said, the di►tress of the country was generally admitted, and it was idle to talk of maintaining our dig nity by extravagant expenditure, when every post con vc) ed accounts of our distresses. Since 1792 the expence had been greatly inctcased, and where was the necessity fin it ? Some expellees had been trebled and quadrupled, particularly the embassy to Russia; and our ambassador to America cost 6,0 ml., which was 491. more than the salary of the President, (Hear.) He would not allude to the extravagant appointment to Switzerland (Mr. Wynn's), because it was to be made Ite subject of a die motion, and because it was an exception to the ex travagance even of the civil list. He thought there could be uu objection to inquiry, as there was so vast an Increase since 1792 there was au increase of 1890001.; where was the advantage of continuing It ? He thought the De fendant and the Crown would hest consult the interests of the country by acquiescing iu seductioue. He con- THE NATIONAL REGISTER - eluded with repeating his motion fee • select eenimittee of inquiry. Lord LONDONDERRY said, he should meet the MO. lion with a direct negative. Meet of the espences were annually brought before the home ; and although it might salt the korsoarable twensber for Aberdeen (Mr. Herne) 14 go over the estimates twice, be did not &essay necessity for traueferrieg the execetive to a comm i t t ee above stairs. There had - been a contract with the Crown respecting the civil list; and within the last s pion the country bad gilded millions by the transfer of duties, doe. ea use forming of such contract. The noble lord entered into a defence of the policy pnrsaed by this smoky and our present diplomatic system, and contended that the indolence which England at present held in the scale of Europe. was as great or greater than ails had ever en joyed at any former period of one history. Sir J. MACINTOSH strongly coodemned the system of policy which the Government had adopted since the re turn of peace. He censured the principles of what was called the Holy Alliance, and contended th a t e i t h er we bad no influence as regarded the affairs of Europe 1 or if we had, that influence the Government had most grossly abased, and become a party to all the acts of the Holy Alliance. This, lie contended, was almost proved beyond contradiction by the Alien Bill, which the noble lord was about to press upon the house at an early day. Mr. ROBINSON defended the conduct of administra tion, and contended, that at present the votes of the house and the espression of the country went to show that his Majesty's ministers bad the confidence of both parliament and the people; and if the house should once declare, by their votes, that they had withdrawn their confidence, he dusted he used no unconstitutional language when he said his Majesty's present ministers would nut attempt to carry on the business of the country any logger. Mr. CREEVY supported the motion, and contended that inquiry was necessary. Mr. TIERNEY also supported the motion, after which the house divided—Fur the modem. Ill—Against it, 274 —Majority in favour of ministers, 127. When strangers were re-admitted, we found the Speaker putting the question on kringing up the report on die Catholic Peers' bill.

MARTIN presented a petition la favour of his Bill to prevent the ill treatment of the brute creation. The bon member adverted to the " sports," as they were milled. of the lower orders, though he denied that the mess of the humbler classes partook in them l and he pat titularly con deemed the Westminster cock-pit—some sof tbe peblic fights, bear-tinitiog, Ice. emendating some of the barbarities and mischiefs that halresulted from them. Mr. LOCKHART was disposed to slew this measure fa. yourably ; for, though man had the command of the Orate creation, be was to use them rationally.

After the discussion of the preceding night be need not make any extended re. marks; he avowed that the specific o►ject of his motives was to obtain a reduction of the expense. Up to 1783. then miuisters to the Swiss Canto.. received 15001. a sear. Mr. Brum. who fullowed,.reeeived 2501. a year; bat afterwards the amount bad been greatly ratted. lie did not want toga bark to 2501. but did desire that the scale of 1 . 192 should be followed as closely as it could be. It was worth remarking that only two or three years age the scale of 1792 was scooted, but now the change of eirconostaaces and twice in- • deiced many penes' to believe that the scale of 1794 was deserving copying in many things.

These matters bavisqg bees settled, be 'obsoleted that there was ow oceasioa fur say resident their I and be would be mach obliged to an, body who would tell him what possible business we could new base with the Swiss Customs, to require as Ambassador there at as enormous salary. As Mr. Causing's stay is Switzerland, after the object of his mission having been closed, it might be said, why was it sot noticed before ? The truth was, many things escaped without bears noticed ? and in 1819, in particular, gentlemen were more anxious and were thinking More about what might happen out of doors, than about forcer' ministers However, for twenty mouths the mission remised means, and it was not filled up till eegotiatious appeared to be going on with Como whom be must now tall the noble Marquis's new silks. Rut his objection was to the mission, sad not to the person who occupitd it ; he objected to the mission having been reaew•-d as unnecessnry. The hon. gent. *lieu moved • series of reso lutions.

Ts. the last resolution, however, be (Mr. W.) begged the attention of the House, fur it IMO the only substantial resolution which put the qu Ilion at issue. It was," Time it appeared to the House that the 'epicenes of the mission to Switzerland might, without detriment to elt• public ',voice, be reduced to what they had been at the op • pointment of Lord Robert Fitzgerald, and abet they had been for one year and eight mouths preceding the ',remit appointment to that station."

The SPEAKER having read the first resolution. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY complimented thl temperate manner in which this motion had been brought forward, and said that it afforded him a better opportu nity of stating why the government considered the recent appointment advantageous to the country. The noble marquis then proceeded to protest, as in last night's de bate, against the executive government of she cannery being called on to divulge the policy which dictated their appointmetits of ministers to foreign courts. America, whose conduct was so strongly pressed on this govern ment as an example, (lid not act thus. but voted a certain sum tube placed at the disposal of the executive, for the purpose of foreign missions.
