Fragmented remarks from a parliamentary debate critique Irish education, subservience myths, and a proposed bill. Speakers argue about reform, party fusion, and the bill’s impact on Ireland, England, and the union while divisions and loyalties surface amid the Corn Laws context.
The debate includes references to church sites and hopes for broader adoption of the example cited. An order of the day is moved to discharge item 19. Sir J Grattan expresses satisfaction with the statement and the right hon. gentleman's discretion. Other orders are disposed of and the house adjourns at 7:30.
A compilation of opinions and letters discusses notices to quit, validity of service, and proof of delivery, plus debates over railway company shares, subscription liabilities, ministerial support, and Caledonian versus Glasgow and Carlisle routes, with readers criticizing Parliament and church affairs.
A Victorian-era نوte provides methods to calculate sunrise and sunset times for Great Britain and Ireland using latitude from guidebooks. It also lists high water times for major ports with offsets for Bristol, Dublin, Dover and others. The piece marks liturgical dates, moon phases, and notes on daylight length and twilight through mid year 1838.
The Weekly Chronicle argues that Ireland must be governed by moral power rather than brute force, tracing past coercion acts to 1801 and 1846. It links current policy to Union distrust, urges a shift to reform, and notes Peels government enduring pressures as Corn Laws and tariffs wrap a turbulent, decisive session.
The article praises the third readings of the Corn Importation Bill and the Customs Act as historic. It notes the Protectionist government was elected with a clear mandate and a strong Commons majority, with a Lords chamber unchanged in mind since Lord Fitzwilliam’s earlier motions.
Colonel Sibthorp attacked Metropolitan constituencies claiming a £10 Lincoln voter equals a £30 St Giles voter in virtue. Mr. Duncombe countered by proposing judging constituencies by their fruits. The debate mocked Lincoln MPs and warned Heaven have mercy if those two Members are judged by their own test.
A political notice praising Sir Robert Peel for free trade changes and criticizing Liberals who support Corn Importation, highlighting Lord Granville Somerset as a staunch opponent of Liberal measures except on the Corn Importation Bill. It notes Dalhousie as a worthy minister and warns against shifting Liberal loyalty to Tory interests.
