modes of action, that lithe government had treated Roman , ga tieglieswith indulgent..., if they Mete disposed to listen to any grievance. aud, it puasible, to obtain a remedy, that Would hardly be a reason for casting an insult on the crown of this country, far from • inAtifiC3• tims of attempting, without the consent of the government to establish papal dominion in England. I think, on the contrary, it would be a reason fur the head of the body thus treated to pay some deference to the opinions of the government which had been so liberal towards them; to couciliatv them, if necessary, but at least not wan tonly to insult then, or the people whose affairs they di- ! meted. I think I should be passing an unjust imputation' on the Pope if I said tilat he could be influenced to pursue ' such conduct sa. this. 31y belief is that the acts of the lire wilt government, or of former government., have not been at all the Can.., of the papal aggression. lam ready to de• fend the conduct of thew with whom 1 have acted during the time that 1 have been in parliament, and of those who before me achieved the restoration of the civil and political rights of the Roman catholic+. All the conduct of the 21 years from BO to 1.29, mill of the 22 subsequent year* down to the preen th it policy of conciliation to the Roman catholies-1 believe to have been a wise one, and I am not disposed to depart one whit from that policy. (Hear, hear.) But I 410 believe that this ageTession has been part and parcel of a great plan which hasbeen concocted against the civil and re...mime. liberties gif every country in Europe. ((Choirs) I believe that, whether this government had been favourable or unfavourable to the Roman catholic., in the present eircumstanels of the world, the attempt would have been made, and I feel that we are more secure in re sisting that aggression breause I can say that nothing in the euuduct of the not moment to which I belong, Or it, that of its imw, diate predecessor, tend+, in any way, to make us justly liable to censure. The hon. suemlem fur Dublin sail that we have proposed • bill to prevent the him R roan catholic bishops from takiug their titles ; that. they have a right to take thee, titles, and that we propose to prohibit them. But it is tog the ease. 1 certainly believe it to he the ease that the Roman cathodic bishops in their relations with their clergy assume the titles of some saes which are likewise the Arcs unit dioceses of the prelate. of the protestant Edablished Church ? If that he the there is an iiet which was lensed in the 10th year of George the Fourth, which says that "if any person other than the persons having authority thereto shall assume thy title of arelsitishop of any urchhislioprie, or dean of any di aver)', of England or 'lreland, he shall fur every st.th otfeuce forfeit and pay the sum of 100/." (Hear, hear.) Thete is an act whirls applies to Ireland, and which was passed years hack, awl yet the hon. member for Doh:iii, and most of the lion. member, who speak front that side of the house, talk ILN if this measure was introduced for the Bret time, and as if they had never heard of it before. (Dear, hear.) Why, they have been living under it ever since Ise% and when it was pawed they said they were mint grateful fur it. (CM era and laughter.) But now it ap pears to them as a bill of penalties such as was tweet heard of before. (Chia cs) What we wish to meet, an I what we are bound to attempt to inect, is the assumption of title., and the assumptom of power to govern certain ili.triets in England, in conospienee of a certain rescript issued by the rope. (Cheers.) If it lied not been for that reseript I should have has en pea. rola satisfied with the law us it stood. I do not think tlmt doultt ful questions with respect to the Archbishop of Tii sin and the bishopric of (railway would been at all qu. -tiers for leqislation. I believe that the law and the administration of the law might have been safely Jett in the mother lit which it has been lift since the year DM. It is this ;wore wion upon England—this attempt to assume titles and a real government of England—aa as sumption which all writers of authority declare to he au act of temporal authority which camsot he denied —it is this act which, as it seemed to me, rendered legislation neces sary. (Loud cheer...) I wish to explain the reason why I think the house cannot admit the a-gumption of the hon. and learned gentleman the member fur Dormoshire that here is a proposition before them, and they must either Mien it or deny it. It is not necessary either to affirm or deny that proposition. (War.) If they choose to act in conformity w ith their former vote they will go into the con sideration of this hill—they will discus. its clauses, they will examine its pnwisions- auol I wiah by no nouns to anticipate their decision. (Hear, hear.) But if, on the contrary, they wish to take this opportunity of coming to a vote ..r censare 4•11 the government let thorn take this opportunity if th •y- will, but this I will say, they are under nu obligation to do so in con.equence of the introduction Or the hon. gentleman'. motion. If they chums, to take that ,curse undoubtedly it is in their power to do so, hot I don't think it is surh a course as the people. of England C‘llt.rt. lehurr..) I think they expect that wbateser may be our party tlitferene a the pro ceeding wills this bill is not • proper occasion for exhibiting those diffivene •••—(loud cheers)—but that we should rather turn our attention t., the AMIII/1 reading of the bill, and to devise. such a measure us may be a security to the crown, and ...rarity to the country. Whether or not the present provi.ion is -uttlei, it is another question ; but this we ran say, we have lute...laced such a ITIC3•IITV a+ we think will b 47 sufficient for the purpose ; and I will not go any further than the neressitig s of the raw require, because I wiult while repelling ao zres.ion to maintain that religious liberty which I have al eats upheld. (Loud and enthusiastic cheer ing which lasted toe ...no. time.) Mr. DISRAELI said the noble lord had accurately placed before th.• house the form under which the quest ion would be put before them. The noble lord hod said there was uo neoteoity to sow upon the amendment pmposeil by the lima mother for Stalfonl, mid that statement was one the aecur.w) of which could not be disputed.

(" Hear," and laughter.) Was it a fart— Lord J. RUSSELL—I stated that it was true—(bud cheers, which drowned the remainder of the sentenee) --a statement had been mule on the other side by those who Sr..- adversaries of the Pope that much had passed fro. the Pope, but Lord 3huto has denied that he heard it. (Loud cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI—Wa. it a fact —(a laugh)—or was it not • that the Viceroy of lechuol was in dire. t comminira tion with the Pope ?—(loud cheers)—that he asked his counsel, and expressed hie reverence for his character? (Lou.! cheers) If this were en, hr (Mr. Disraeli) asked the house whether the' conduct of the. Pope might not fairly be astrilsol to, m it hail been ilescrilf.t in the amend ment, the conduet of the minister. ? (Load cheers) He thought that nothing could he more salutary than that they should also liaw this amendment. Mr. ROEBUCK admitted the fact that the conduct of the government had givens countenance to the act of the Pope ; but he- would n o t call that act an :izgression, and of the ministerial prueeedings which encouraged it he fully approved. lie disliked the bill itself, and should adopt every direct means of getting rid of it. Mr. DEEDES and sir f. D. At . LAND briefly opposed the resolution of Mr. Urquhart. The house then divided— Fur the resolution Aganut it 2NO Majority for government Th. announcement of the division was received with loud cheers by the ministerialists. Lord RUSSELL stated that h. would take the bill as the first order of the day on Monday next. It , 4a. then agreed thit the house at its rising du adjourn to Monday.

Tut.: COMMITTEE ON 'flit KAFFIR W.M. Mr. KEOGH moved, pursuant to notice. that the com mittee on Kaffir tribes do consist of 17 members ; that Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Sadleir, and Colonel Dunne be aildisl to the eutumittv. Sir G. GREY object d. His noble friend (Lord John 'lumen) had 'mated that he would consent to an addi tion of three names of Irish members, and these 11.1011 es would appear on the votes ou Monday. Ile therefore asked the house to suspend its decision in the matter until Monday. Sir D. HALL objected distinctly to the appointment of Mr. Reynolds on the committee. That hon. member was not sufficiently impartial. After a few words from Mr. REYNOLDS, Mr. J. WILLIAMS observed that on this committee there did not appear the name of a single Welshman. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Williams) could not help express ing his deep indignation at the insult offered to his countrymen by the exclusion. (Continued laughter.) A short time ago • countryman of his had returned from Kaffirland, and had told him (Mr. Williams) that there was a great similarity between the Welsh and at language. (loud laughter.) If, therefore, there existed any disposition on the part of government to appoint a com mittee to go to Ka' Arland, Welshmen would certainly be the most eompetent parties. (Laughter.) ! Mr. PRICE said he was another Waldman. (Peals of ' laughter.) Amidst a scene of great merriment, he expressed his burning indignation at the exclusion of Welshmen from the committee, soil declared that there should be at least three members Welshmen. After some discussion, Lord NAAS suggested that the better course would be to I adjourn the debate. The SPEAKER. haling put the question that the house do now adjourn, it was decided in the negative without a The house then divided on the question that the debate e now adjourned.

" You may bring me to do anything you wish. if you only set about it the right way." one of Mo unties heroes is made to say, after he has been soundly cudgelled. Sir CHARLES WOOD appears to be much of the same way of thinking: for alter long and stoutly maintaining that the Income-tax Act was unsuseeptible of amendment, he last night. with Mr. IftwE's whacks lively in his recollection, anti Colonel Stunt ,ma's cudgel impending over him, brought forward a clause fur the relief of tenant far mers. This concession had all the grace of an agree able surprise, after Lord Jolts; Itt•ssELCs sturdy de claration, that having accepted the renewal of the tax for one Year only, he could entertain no propo sals to modify it at present. Mr. BRIGHT expressed surprise at the facility with which the CitAsefiumit of the Exclibitmt had brought himself to introduce the clause in question; and hinted that traders were entitled to a similar con cession. Mr. BIM:11VA surprise appears to us altoge ther groundless. The traders, as a bdy. rarely run restive now, and put ministers to trouble; while the farmers are arrayed against them in permanent hostility. Ministers see no cudgel in the hands of the trading interest : why should they do anything to pat it in good humour? Front the year of grace down to the present moment the uniform policy of the whigs has been to reserve all favours for enemies —that is, out of the tinnily circle. Their maxim has been, that it would he sheer extravagance to do any thing to purchase the good will of those who are well-disposed towards them already— they think their acts of kindness more usefully aisposed of in buying oaf the hostility of opponents. They feel confi dent that the bulk of the trading interest in parlia ment will do nothing to platy them in new minori ties; but they are by no means so confident in the self-denial of the agriculturists. 'this unforeseen disc .very on the' part of the CHAN- , ct:t.bon of the ExettEut - Eu, that he can, at the lust moment. do something to alleviate the pressure of the income tax upon the farmers, is in perfect keep ing with his Vacillating and veering policy in regard tuthe agricultural interest throughout the session. To please the landlords and their tenants, a sentence was introduced into the (IrEEN's speech, admitting and lamenting the existence of agricultural distress. It was expected that this wordy compliment would be sufficient to mollify them, kit these gentlemen being of opinion that `• tine words butter no pars• nips, insisted that corresponding deeds should fol low. This was inconvenient ; and the consequence was, that the country was edified by the sight of one minister rising after unother in the debate on the address, to demonstrate that the agriculture) distress, ! proclaimed in their own Royal speech. did not' exist. The wind has again shifted, end with it the whig %%ale; not only is it confessed that t h e in come-tax has pressed unduly on the farmers, but something is to be dune to alleviate the pressure. The CatxcEt.t.tia of the EXCHEQUER. when pro ' pounding his clause for the relief of tenant farmers. indulged with great march , in a nipturons burst of self-laudation. •• Ilard-hearted, " he exclaimed, '• as the Cu %sl:Limit of the EXCHEQUER was considensl. or indeed was eompelled to be, he hoped that on the Ipresent occasion they would be of opinion that he ead given due ronsi • deration to what he must fairly I admit well deserved the attention of the house— the complaints of the tenant %mem." Never was anything heard so touching. except perhaps little J.itx Roux ER'S—. what a good boy am I ! Yet the tenant farmers might retort that if their coin plaints well deserve attention now, they were equally deserving of it three months ago ; they might say that it would have been more hemming the CHAN cr.t.t.ou of the 14:wilt:in - PACs responsible position to have outdo the coneession he now makes at once than to have wasted three months in quibbling and femme big. and seeking to persuade them that it was un called for. And every tither interest in the! community will ponder and rack its mind with conjectures about when its turn is to come— when the Citistiaion of the Emits:gent will dis cover that its (-complaints deserve attention and are, susceptible of redress? Never, we inns- venture to affirm. till, like the farmers. it takes cage] in hand. ; It is this trimming and tergiversation in matters I financial—and in other matters also—that hash brought about the present lamentable dislocation of the liberal party in parliament. Ministers appear to have no object but to gain time and tide over clif ficulties. The liberals have no common task set be fore them upon which to concentrate their energies,. anti every man carves out some work for himself, and quarrels with his neighbours because they mind their own affairs, instead of helping !dm with his. There are ahnost as many parties as individuals in the liberal ranks. And to tell the truth, but that Lard STAXLLY has had the sense to keep out of aim we should have seen ere now the Writ's in a wetty similar ptedicament. The doughty heir of DErtny knows better than to run his he ad against the stone wall of free-trade; and while he and his lieutenant were loitering before it, puzzling their heads what work they could set their idle followers to, in order to keep them out of mischief, the 'twit sneyns HMI Slialirntl , would have broken out into 11111'11 mutiny.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'etocit. The full improvement of yesterday in the prices of the English funds was not maintained to the dome of business, Consuls receding to 971 to 1, both for nr .ney and Tuesday. At this range the market opened this morning, and not the least variation has since occurred, prices being steadily supported. Business is upon a quiet scale, as usual on a Saturday, and presents no feature deserving especial notice. The (ape News is looked upon as less favourable, and a Protracted struggle, and eon sequel t i ncreased expense, is in many quarters predicted. file statement officially made of the day's business is as follows : Three per , Cent. Consols, 97t, ; ditto for account, 971, ; I Three per Cents. Reduced, 961, 1 ; Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 98, 971 ; fhrce per Cent.

The large sizes have been dealt in at 02& and 491. prem.; ditto Small, 30s. and 325. India Bonds are' better, the 1,000/. bills marking al& and 51s. prem.; ' and the small bills. 535. and 345. There is some little increase of movement in the foreign bond market, but prices arc in few instances' effected. Mexican are worse, having been sold as low as 331. Spanish Bonds, on the other hand, are firmer, the cessation of the Portuguese struggle exercising a favourable influence on these stocks. Other descriptions remain at for mer rates. The day's business list is:— Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 90; ditto New, 1829 and '39, 871. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 90, 91. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., for ac count, 691.

THIS DAY. Two ()Tv:wit. The share market is again a good deal depressed to-dad•, and prices have in most instances experienced a further decline, the heavier descriptions of stocks seeming most affected. Selling operations have been prosecuted to some extent in certain IMes ; and, as these are not counterbalanced by any business in an opposite sense, a downward movement of course ensues.
