L*t these jast expectations ? Let us see.
There were, it seems, in this assembly, conflicting j
hemes. The majority got up oye, (that now he- j
protect fore the people,) which they said was. according to their ■
j way of thinking, the best that, could he devised. 1 lie \
minority considered it as defeating tho very object for 1
which the Uouveu'ion had been constituted. They
objected to it on various nrounds, not the least of which
was, that tho reduction was not equal lo whaWthe peo
ple desired, and had delegated them to require. 1 hey
therefore proposed another plan, one of the leading
features of which, was a much greater reduction than
the one, proposed hi/ the, majority, and which, they be
lieved, more perfectly embodied the wishes of the peo
ple, than that olfered by the majority. This plan ol the
minority was at once voted down
when the Federal Union
sails it. Rut ns that statement was made for the pur
pose of disabusing the public mind, ill regard to an im
portant argument, used in f;
codlings of the Convention, we take the opportunity
of re-publishing our statement, knowing that it bears
on its face, proof positive of its justness.
It is only licecsary further to remark, that this state
ment is based on the legislative records of the State,
not mi what may he tho expense next year, or fill) years
hence. The people, in demanding a Convention, and
an amendment of the Constitution, had in view the e-

state of affairs.
In auswer to the remark of the Federal Union, that
we have not allowed for other curtailed e•.penditure,

Tho motion was seconded by Mr. Hume, and
supported by O’Connell. Mr. Stanley and Sir R.
Peel opposed the addition of such a clause, and
it was negatived without a division.
On the question “that the bill do pass,” Mr.
LelYoy and Mr. Gladstone opposed the general
principle of tin* measure, as calculated to weak
en the Pmtestant establishment in Ireland. Mr.
O’Connell, (’ol. Evans, Mr. Ilnme, and Mr. D.
\V. Harvey, also opposed the bill, and said they
should vole n<’ttiit.il it, as the only cl mse which
made it of any value, had been withdrawn. Mr.

The bill was then passed.
[It is stated from a source entitled to conside
ration, that it has been fully determined by the
High Tory Peers, to give this bill an unqualified
opposition in the House of Peers, and thus at
once bring the question, whether the Lords form a
substantive and efficient branch of the Legisla
ture, to an issue. Should the Duke of Welling
ton bring his foices thus in opposition to the Min
istry, on this question, the crisis will have arrived
which will determine the strength of Karl Grey,
and probably, also, the still greater question of a
revolution. The Conservatives appear to think
