LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31. IN the House of Loans, in answer to Lord CRILLNISFORD, Earl Russ= said that the latest intelligence relative to the British prisoners in Abyssinia was up to 28th April, when it appeared that they were suffering no additional hardships, and it was the intention of her Majesty's government to send out another mission with presents, and he would be ready to communicate all that he learned on the subject to the noble lord. The Commissioners of Supply Meetings (Scot land) Bill was read a second time ; as was the Dogs Regulation (Ireland) Bill The Companies' Workmen's F.ducation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Passengers Bill passed through committee. The County Voters Registration Bill and the County of Sussex Bill were read a thud time and passed. The house then adjourned. In the House of Cosimedia, on the resumption of the adjourned debate ou going into committee on the Roman Catholic Bill, Mr. NEWDZOATZ moved as an amendment that the house go into committee that day six months, and argued that this bill was the first attempt to make an inroad on the compact entered into by the Roman Catholic Emancipation Act ; and that there ought to be an inquiry into the question before the house consented to alter the oath imposed by that act. He also contended that it was no insult to any Roman catholic member to repudiate through the oath now prescribed doctrines which it specifies, which had been repudiated by their church in all ages of its history. The hon. member at length dwelt on the insidious designs of the ultramontane section of the Roman catholic church, against which the existing oath was a security. Mr. GREGORY expressed his surprise that any member could persuade himself to vote against the proposed change in the Roman catholic oath, on the supposition that security would be gained for the established church by an asseveration which con tained a clause denying the doctrine that sovereigns excommunicated could be deposed or killed by their subjects, and pointed out that that doctrine was held and advocated, and in the case of Charles I. acted upon, by presbyterians, puritans, and such like protestants, far more than had ever been done by Roman catholics, and therefore it was as much incumbent on protestant as on Roman catholic members to take the oath as it was now prescribed to the latter, an oath besides on the meaning of which scarcely any one was agreed. Sir J. PAKINGTON stated his regret at the time at which and the manner in which the bill hadibeen introduced, inasmuch as it was likely at this par ticular juncture to revive differences between pro testants and Roman catholice which were always to be deprecated. Besides, such a measure, involving an important change in the constitution, ought to have been brought forward on the authority and responsibility of her Majesty's government. Again, the period of the session was unfavourable for the proper and deliberate discussion of such a bill ; and above all, such a measure ought not to have been brought forward on the eve of a general election. He then proceeded to argue that the Roman catholic oath was part of a final compact and settlement of the Roman catholic ques tiou. The oath, though consisting of many ps, arrived at one end, and that was that Roman catholic members should not take advantage of the constitutional privileges conferred upon them to injure the established church, and though be recognised the honourable conduct in this respect of the Roman catholic members, there was no doubt that the obligations they contracted under that oath bad operated as a check upon them. If, therefore, that oath was abrogated it would =nee great alarm amongst the protestants both of England and Ireland—especially as there were VS' • :11:17,,j7 Yi.( r.1(111 THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1865. realm, or IMATCIS6 any privilege to which be or may become,entitled to subvert or weaken the Protestant religion. or Protestant government of the United Kibgdom. Nobody suggested in the debate that any English institu tion was protected by this oath, bat it was assumed that the Irish Church Establishment would be endangered by its repeal. A great many persons, both in Ireland and in England, are strongly of opinion that the existence of that Establishment is a wrong done to the Irish people, and that, inasmuch as it is a cause of natural irritation, and an obstruction to the complete union of the two countries, it is also injurious to the English people. In the exercise of their acknowledged rights some of these persons have associated themselves for the purpose of spreading this opinion, and impressing others, both by speaking and writing, with its truth. It might be thought that the friends of the Irish Establish ment, themselves profoundly convinced of the claims of that institution upon the respect and sup port of the State, would be satisfied to defend it by sound information and powerful argument. But, no ; the mere possibility that the public may see too clearly the mischievous effects of maintaining an alien Church in the midst of the population of Ireland sets these gentlemen upon eon sidering how public opinion maybe neutralized. And it is here that the value of the oath becomes con spicuous. The oath restrains some thirty members from becoming the faithful representatives of their constituents. "See," says Sir Know CAIIOOI, "here is the proof : the oath actually shuts their " mouths when the Irish Church is discussed. Is " not that evidence of its worth?" Surely it is • great achievement to have nullified thirty members in an assembly of six hundred ; • great merit to have forbidden the expression of opinion to the representatives of electors whom you invited to vote. The problem was, and is, how to maintain an institution independ ently of the opinion of the public, and this is the precious expedient. Mr. HOWIMAN expressed the common sense of the matter when he said that " the Church established was a creation of the law ; " the law was a child of opinion, and as opinion " changed the law must change." And it is simply as an apparent moans of avoiding this ne cessity that the Roman Catholic oath is prized by its defenders. sysiptouss of attack oD t establisbed church in Unload, which was identified in the opinion of the majority of the people of this country with that of Vistaed. Viewing the question practically, he said be had no objection to tee omission of the part of the oath denying the doctrine relating to the deposition or murder of sovereignd wi s ; to he wou ld agree to the modi f i cation p ropose regard to Ole spiritual jurisdiction of the Pope ; eser- and be would omit the words referring to mental r , vation as offensive to a man of bauour and truth ; but be could not consent to the erasure of that por- I Una of the oath which abjured any intention to I subvert the church establishment or to disturb or weaken the protestant religion. He asked whether, if in committee on the bill the th was modified in bad stated, that mo uld be accepted by the way I Mr. lionsell ; if so, he would vote for going i nto committee. Mr. HOUSMAN said that this proposition was nothing less than an attempt to reenact penalties which it had been the course of legislative policy of late years to remove. This question was one affecting protestants as well as Roman catholies. As to this oath being a settlement ands compact, why every act of parliament was a settlement in that sense ; while the compact was an arrangement enforced by a strong upon a weak party ; and as an act might be amended, so such a compact might be revised. The Catholic Emancipation Act was intended to place members of this house on an equality, while this oath created a distinction between' one class and all alms, implying, as it did, that the religion of the Roman catholic members was inconsistent with allegiance and the preservation of the esta blished church. But no oath was administered to dissenters, who were notoriously banded together to destroy the church, and who acted as legis 'atom in promoting that object. The oath could be no security for the church, for when the Roman catholic' became powerful enough to subvert the church, they would before that have been powerful enough to repeal the oath. In spite of the spirit of religion, justice, and charity welch had admitted the dissenter, the Roman catholic, and the Jew to parliament, it was now proposed to retain an oath which was a badge of intolerance. i He confessed that he, as a protestant, would be glad to be relieved from taking the oath denying the Pope's spiritual jurisdiction in this country, which west be taken in a spirit of casuistry. He contended that unnecessary and unintelligible oaths were immoral, and still more must be criminatory oaths ; and he was in favour of a uniform oath, which wail one of allegiance only which might be taken without distinction of cree d . Sir H. Calera denied that this was the time to discuss the question of a uniform oath for members of parliament. He avowed that the parts of the oath which denied the doctrine of deposing mo narchs, and which were directed against mental re servation w ere useless, while they were o ff ensive tothoae Who were required to take them; but he con tended that the section which contained an abjura tion of any intention to subvert or weaken the church and the protestant religion was necessary, and he refused to concede any alteration in that respect. He argued also that the existence of this oath had operated as a preventive to many Roman catholic" joining in any attacks on the established church. Lord E. HOWARD, referring to an allusion in the speech of Sir H. Cairns, explained that it was not belief that the Roman catholic oath conscientiously prevented him and his brother, the late Duke of Norfolk, from voting in matters relating to the es tablished church, but they abstained from doing so on a question of taste. Mr. 3lossun declined to accept the proposition made to him to retain that part of the existing oath relating to the established church. After a few words from Sir P. Bottum., On a division the amendment was rejected by 193 to 126. The house went into committee pro forma, and the resumption of ,the committee was fixed for the evening. At the evening sitting, Mr. MONSILL fixed the Roman Catholic Oath Bill for Thursday evening, when arrangements will be made for bringing it on in committee. On the motion for adjournment to Thursday, Mr. WARNIN referring to certain arrangements of the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope for introducing Kaffirs into British territory, a policy opposed to the opinion of the colonial represen tative aasemblies, which it was thought would lead to hostilities, inquired what the understanding was between the home government and colonies possessing representative institutions as to the de fence of those colonies in any future war. Mr. Canowrin said that, actiug under instruc tions from home, the governor of the Cape had adopted a policy calculated to conciliate the Hears, and so to diminish the chances of hostilities. In answer to Mr. S. Larsvas, Lord Pauli:mos said that communications bad been going on between her Majesty's government and that of the United States on the subject of the depredations of the Alabama for some time, and the most recent were of the same tone and tenor as those which had preceded them ; the communica tion which bad been made was since the accession of PresidentJohnsoo, but he was not aware whether it had emanated from that gentleman. Colonel FRENCH objected to the adjournment, when an Irish bill stood for discussion to-morrow (this day). The motion was agreed to. Mr. Morrarr again called attention to the report of the select committee on the Bankruptcy Act of 1861, and the existing state of the laws iu regard to debtor and creditor, and moved that the report deserves the prompt and serious consideration of her Majesty's government. Mr. AYSTON made a few observations in second ing the motion. Mr. Baas suggested that a bill on this subject might be brought in at once, which might be con sidered during the recess. The Arroaxicr-Gasirstax stated that her Ma jesty's government would take into their early con sideration the report of the committee ' • and concurred in an opinion which had been expressed that no mere patching amendment, but a thorough reconstruction of the law should take place. The motion was agreed to. Mr. NIATE called attention to some defects in the law relating to lunatics, both as respects the admi nistration of the law and the provisions of the law itself. The house was counted out while the hon. „ I gentleman was speaking. Or Ix is unfortunate that the House of Commons and the country have been deprived of the speech which Mr. Disa&Ext had prepared to deliver on the Roman Catholic Oaths Bill ; but the question has nevertheless been vell discussed. The speeches of Sir Joux ELLINGTON and Sir Blum CAIRNS placed the objections to Mr. MONSKLI2B Bill on intelligible grounds of policy, and it may be pre . sumed expressed the sense of theirparty ; while that of Mr. Holantex, luminous and statesmanlike, was an assertion of the right and duty of Parlia ment to bring the legislation of the country into conformity with the larger views of civil and reli gions liberty which are the fruit of the progress of a generation. - - - We are glad to acknowledge that this debate marks a certain advance on the part of the Con servative opposition. Neither Sir JOHN PAHUTO ION nor Sir 'luau C.Liaws insisted on retaining those parts of the Catholic oath which assume that they of whom they are required axe devoid of all moral principle, that it is uncertain whether they do not approve of murder, or that in swear ing they will not palter with words. The members for Droitwich and Belfast were even ready to abolish that notoriously false declaration in the oath, that the • POPE has no spiritual jurisdiction in this realm. Bat both prcclaiined their hostility to the repeal of that portion of the oath by which the person taking it disclaims, disowns, and abjures any intention to subvert the present Church Establishment as settled by law in this For the case of the Irish Fatahlfeltinenta High- Churchman might plausibly allege that although the dboossissent and the House of Lords had treated the favourable opinion of Convocation upon this Bill as saperfluous, Ministers bad nevertheless sought to elicit it ; that in point of fret the Bill was not introduced until the opinion of Convocation had been declared; and that it is probable that but for the readiness of the c ler gy to adapt their canons to the desired parliamentary legislation, the Bill might never have been brought in. But the omission to consult one branch of the United Church precludes this view of the matter. The superfluousness of the opinion of Convocation is affirmed in a mast practical way when the opinion of two provinces out of four is not only unsought but denied opportunity of expression. There is, indeed, one alternative which was sug gested in the debate from the Episcopal Bench, but we are not sure that it is one which the clergy would be eager to accept. It may be said that the Irish Establishment is in a condition so ano malous that it would be dangerous to give pro minent acknowledgment to the title of its Convo cations to participate in the legislation of the United Church ; that its technical rights command no moral respect, and that the wisest course is to ignore its ollsims until the time comes to cast it off entirely. To a choice of one or other of these conclusions we are absolutely confined by the course taken by the Government with the sanction of the House of Lords. AT length the House of Commons has been per mitted to hear the truth about the peremptory de mand said to have been preferred by President Joumox for an immediate settlement of the claims of the United States on account of the injury done to its citizens by the Alabama and her consorts. Lord PALYEIISTON'S answer was, indeed, as obscure as the question put to him was direct ; but, ob scure as it was, it could not quite prevent the truth from breaking through. If any important change has taken place in consequence of Mr. Lzttrottes death, if the succession of Mr. Jolts sow has brought with it • change of American policy, the PRIM= is not aware of the fact, for he does not know whether the last " comma " nications " made to our Government came from Mr. Joussozr or Mr. Lutuout—s sign of the importance to be attached to them. Perhaps they came from neither, but were merely the " formal " fulfilment by the American Minister in the routine of his office of the duties imposed on him by general instructions of long standing. Be this as it may, Lord PALMELITON speaks of them as of no urgent importance. Itiaadmittedthatthe com municationswhichhave been received are of the same spirit and tenor as Mr. SawAan's despatch to Mr. ADAMS in the year 1863, which has been so often quoted, and the friendly character of which is well known. The plain question put by Mr. W. E. Foisrm, after Lord Ramiarrox had spoken, we. met in the most straightforward manner by Mr. LAYARD, who was, of course, more intimately acquainted with the details of the business of the Foreign Office than the PRIMIZa. Mr. 'ALM said :—" The case "is very simple. The original demand is that " contained in papers which were laid on the " House last year, or at the end of the previous " session. When any other case has arisen, " whether solitary or otherwise, of vessels captured " by the Alabama, or other ships of that nature, " Mr. ADAMS, in putting forward any claim in " that particular case, has reiterated the original " claim almost in the same tenor and spirit, for " the depredations committed by such vessels. A " short time ago, before the death of President " ',mews, that demand was incidentally renewed " 4, 2 the identical words, and with the same di Ws have heard much within the last fortnight of the rapid rise of Convocation in importance, and speakers and writers who hold what are called " strong " ecoleaisstioal views have been in un usually high spirits. We are told that the con stitutional place and dignity of the representative body of the clergy have been practically recog nised as they have not been for generations, and that its functions have been called into vigour for purposes of great public consequence. Convocation has been required to co-operate with Parliament in legislation affecting the interests of the Church. This is what we find in speeches delivered in the Jerusalem Chamber and in the articles of the ecclesiastical prsiss. The Clerical Subscription Bill is the measure which Convocation is supposed to have assisted in passing. This Bill is generally —we believe we may say universally—admitted to be one of real utility, reducing as it does the extravagant and impossible terms in which for two hun'red years the clergy have declared their assent to the formularies of the Church, within the limits of that fair and reasonable acquiescence which is all that ought to be asked in favour of any human work. The credit of originating the measure belongs, however, not to Convocation, nor to the bishops, nor to any exclusively clerical body, but to a Royal Commission, specially norni- Detect for that purpose by the Minister of the day. It wasupon the recommendations of that Commis sion that Ministers prepared the Bill which is now passing by rapid stages through the House of Lords. Convocation has discussed the changes which the Bill is designed to introduce, and has been so for tunate as to find them good. What would have happened had Convocation disapproved of the Bill we cannot even conjecture. Still, inasmuch as the Bill sets aside and supersedes canons of the English branch of the Church, it is well that tho Convocations of its two pro vinces are able to accept it. But the pretension to co-operate with Parliament in altering the law of the Church, is one which was peremptorily set aside as soon as the Bill found its way into the House of Lords. Lord Grarvizzz, in introducing the measure, referred to the approval of Convoca tion, but he summarily denied the title of that body to concur in a legislative act which was to bind the clergy, and was even careful to explain that that approval itself was wholly unnecessary and superfluous. Of course, no minister of the Crown would have spoken or desired to speak thus of a body which really and truly represented the Church of England, or even its clergy; but it is one cons.- queues of the highly-prized connexion of Church and State, that the only body which even in form and appearance represents the Church is in a posi tion to be thus referred to, while the prerogative of legislation on the most important interests of the Church belongs exclusively to assemblies into which unbelievers of every type pass umbel- lenged. As if, however, to bind the clergy themselves to this depreciatory view of their assent and approbs, tion, the Government have resolved to take a course which effectually excludes their pretension to co operate in this business by dispensing with even the approval of the Convocation of one branch of the Church. The new Bill will soon become the law of the United Church et England and lrelandi• But the Irish Convocation has not been asked, or even permitted, to express an opinion on the subject. The Archbishop of DUBLIN, who brought this fact under the notice of the Lords on Monday, with that impressive solemnity of manner which characterises all his public ad drama, declared that to pass this Bill without consulting the Convocation of the Irish Church would be to put a slight on that Church, to wound it, to set a mark upon it of inferiority to the Church of England, and to excite in its members a sense of deep and serious wrong. Lord Gear vuzz assured him that the Government had no intention of casting a slight on the Church of Ire land-4 declaration which it was very easy for a Minister to make who regarded the approval of the bill by the English Convocations as super fluous. Another Irish prelate, the Bishop of Kluitoz, protested with great spirit against Lord Gifaxvizzz's views of the importance of the "Synods and Councils" of the Church. The Convocations of Canterbury and York bad very properly been allowed to alter their Canoes to meet the new legislation of Parliament, and why not permit those of Dublin sod Armagh to do the same ? " Greater folly could not be permitted " than to turn the Church into a mere branch of " the Civil Service, and then expect it to answer " any political end whatsoever"—a pregnant and portentous utterance, worthy, no doubt, to be remembered and admired, but not to be too rudely analysed.. However, the House was not ioduoei to suspend legislation until the Irish clergy had been consulted in Convocation, and the Bill went through committee. meaning." This is in exact agreement with whst we have already stated. if a notification of losses caused by the Alabama or any other vessels of her clam, based as they all were on the original claim made by the Government of the United States, and accompanied by a reiteration of th►t claim, constitutes the "formal demand" which has been so much spoken of, then "formal de " m►nds" have been made without interruption for the last two years. If those notifications are not to be so considered, then, after Mr. LAYARD'S explanation, the statement that a formal demand has lately been made falls to the ground. In any case, nothing has happened to justify the assertion that the suc cesses of the Union armies or the death of Mr. LuccoLN and the succession of Mr. Jonzison have been followed by a change in the policy of the United States. The public) must have had enough of this controversy, but the misstatements that have been mane were so mischievous that it was impossible not to notice and expose their false hood. And if we are not mistaken, the public will distinguish between those who, for partisan purpose., and regardless of consequences, have striven to mislead it, and those who have main tained the truth in the face of the most unscru pulous inventions.
