In the case of " Fraser tr. Wilson," from the Court ?f Session , in Scotland, his Lorthhip moved that the interlocutor: should he affirmed with lOC/. costs.—Order, cl. " Hay and others v. Le Neve and others." was proceeded with, when Dr. LUSHINCTON was heard in conclusion for the appellants, and Dr. JENNIeIt for the respondent:, and tae further hearing was appointed for.atter the recess. " Williams v. Jenks" was next called, on a Writ of Error from the Court of King's Bench, hut no Counsel appeared for the plain tiff in mot. Upon the motion of the Counsel for the defendant in error, their Lordships confirmed the judgment of the Courts below, with 1201. costs. At a quarter to four o'clock the Earl of Suarrtsaurtv, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Viscount MELVII LE, sat robed as Lords Commis sioners for notifying and delaring his Majesty's Assent to divers Bills, agreed upon by both Houses cf Parliament, when the Yeo man Usher of the Black Rod was directed to require the attend. ance of the Commons in this House to hear the Royal Commission. Shortly after dlr. Srsawsra, accompanied by live Members, ap peared at the bar, when the Royal Arsent was notified and declared with the usual forms to the Bills undermentioned: The Irish Catholic and Protestant Burials Bill, the Barrack De. partment Property Bill, the Dublin Oil GAS Company Bill, the Ayr Jail Bill, the Kelso Ale and Beer Bill, the Maidenhead Chapel the Leith Trinity House Bill, the South Lynn Poor Bill, and several Road Bills. Adjourned at four o'clock during pleasure : and at twenty n.i.iutes to five o'clock the House resumed. Upon the motion of the Earl of SHAFTPSIWAY the Assay Bill and the Innkeepers' Allowances Bill were respectively teed a second time, and ordered to be committed for the Stith instant. The Ireland Records Bill went through a Committee of the House, and was reported without ally amendments. The Bishop of LIMERICK rose just as their Lordships were on the point of adjourning, and observed that he had received a letter from the Archbishop of Dublin (Dr. Magee), who wished him to inform the House of its contents, as this not li,die; his Grace's year fur Parliamentary atterdence, lie (Dr. Magee) could not have an opportunity of vindicating his conduct in that House. —So long as there unfounded charges had beta confined to pam phlets, newspapers, and handbills, no notice had been taken of them; but as the subject had been brought betore Parliament In the sleepe of a Petition from certain individuals, in which the conduct of his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, in relation to burials, bed been most unjustly complained of, it was in consequence of these misre presentations that his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin had re quested him (the Bishop of Limerick) to lay the contents of the let ter, which he had in his hand, before the llouse.—(The Pattie Rev. Prelate here read the letter from Dr. Magee, in which his Grace stated thet the charges made against him were utterly with out found:aim:o-11e Bishop of Limerick proceeded to comment on the letter, and the chdracter which the Archbishop of Dub lin preserved both in public and private life. Ile had himself seen in the streets of Dublin the most libellous placards posted isa dif ferent parts of that city, and bad had handbills and pamphlets thrust into Isis hands in the course of his walks, and even at the very gate of the University, which contained the most gross falsehoods; one pamphlet All particular, which pretended to give a life of his Grace, was a most vile and libellous publication. It was known to every one that lead the pleasure of being acquainted with his Grace, that front his earliest years his conduct in private life had kept pace with his superior professional abilities: as a son, he had shtwo the ten derest attachment to his parents; as a brother, he was the kindest of friends; and as a friend himself, his attachnicet was uraltatege able. As a controversial writer, one of the profoundt4t of the age, his Grace was entirely free from that odium theologieura which had been so invidiously charged on ecclesiastical Wiitets in general ; for in all controversies he %sees an open and a genet ous adversary. here the Right Rev. Prelate, in reference to the Bill (Irish Burials) re cently passed, mentioned cases where Protestant Clergymen had attended the funerals of Catholic Prielts, and others in which the human Catholic had in like miumer gone to the funerals of Protest ant Ministers. lit one instance, which meowed in the City of Li merick, the greater part of the ships were closed in consequence of the funeral ot - a Proteeeent Cleigyman ; and he was happy to say that the people a:lreland its general were not so unfriendly, to the Established Chtlizh as sonic persons had represented. The recent Bill would leave'thern in the same friendly state ; and as for himself, though liurable the station he filled, he should feel most happy to cultivate the good will of butt lieLgion4 by all commendable meats in his power. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY now moved their Lortishills to adjourn to WedneAlay, the 2.Bth of App; and the }louse iu crane quence then adjourned to that day muss OF COMMONS. Several Petitions Werepreseated against the Oil Gas Bill. Mr. GRE.NrELL, in that. re:cain names might he added to the Committee on the St. Katharine's Dock iii 1, Bain that he took that opportunity to correct certain tr.i)represte.tatiotts anti cx aggerations which had taken place both in and out of doors relative to that subject. In the first place, it had been stated that the num b" whose properties would be affected by tilt: Bill, aniouuted to -10,000. It had been, howeier„ alcertaine,i,f.-0:; . .t an actual ..urvey, that the number of inhabitants in the /wishes lattnedutely adjacen., to the proposed docks did nut amount altogether to 4,74G0 persons. The second eaaggv . ration of which he had to cc.it i tl tin rcialcd to tli: number of houses which it was alleged were to bes , . u n, arnl amounted, according to those who oppe:cd the Mb, to upwards 'of 1,300. The fact, however, was, that the total number ut houses in these parishes did not exced 814. This was a fact which he wtas particularly deirous t s impress upon those persons who were inte rested the London Dock ; for it well known, that' in order to make room for the construction of those cloths in the /ear 1,793, not less than 1,400 houses were rolled clown—(llear). Thus the proportion between the injury tl,•:se on the present aiid trine: oc casion, was as 834 to 1,400. The third a!lt ga ion to which he 11 , 1 to reply, was respecting the fulness of accommodation which it W:i said prevailed at present, end which it was *Sized rendett.sti the coo struction of the prok!cteti docks unnecessary. To this assertion he had only to oppose the Petition presented to that Muse, signed by 1,800 of the most respectable Merchants of London, stating the di rect contrary ; and addiv, that even if there were room its the Lon don and West India Docks, the high charges of their respective Com panies for warehousing, would prevetst them from deriving any ad vantage from it. The last.objection to which he had to reply, was that detived from the non.ccmpliance with the Standing Orders, In consequence of which it was said that the inhabitants of the neigh bourhood of the New Docks unsold be much inconvenienced. Thts he confessed was the only objection to wisith he felt inclined to at tach any weight; but he considered that the inconvenience.cons plaint:a- of fro:n want of due notice would be amply remedied by the clause introduced into the 11111, and Which put tho-e who op posed it upon a better footing than if the regular notice had been given. The Honourable 3lenther concluded by ruoving—" That cer t ain nzmes be added to the.

HAMILTON moved for returns relative to the Fees of the Court of Session in Scotland.—Ordered. air. S. RICE said that he held in his hand a Petition, to which, front its importance, he was induced to call the attention of the Douse. It was from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of Drog heda, and was signed by several intliviwils of the highest reseect ability, who were personally known to him. The Petitioners commenced by stating, that they felt extreme gratitude to Parlia ment for the favours which had hitherto been conferred upon their body, but lamented that many of those relaxations of the Penal Code which the law bad sanctioned remained indeed upon the Sta tute Books, but were intercepted in their !stoves; rewards those for whose benefit they were intended. lie would instance a kw of the causes of complaint set forth in the Petitiart. It was, in the first place, well known to the. house, that in the year 1793 Catholics were, by Act of - 1 1 / 4 . iliament, rendered elia,Bele to wee upon Grand Juries. It was, however, a fact, that since the enact- MCTIt of that law, a period of more than thirty years, nut a Catholic had been summoned to serve upon the rand Jury of Drogheda—(Hear, hear)—although is that county the proportion of Catholics to Protestauts was nine to one, and that of their rela tive property as two to three. While re:pectable Catholics were thus excluded, it was equally notorious that individuals not poneis ing a single acre of land in that county were admitted ti flat ho nour. Another complaint of the petitioners was, that altbeugh the freedom ei Corporations had been thrown, open to Catholics by the same Act 'of 1793, nor more than six Catholics had for that long period been admitted to toe ireetlom of the Corporation of Drag hada—(Hear).—ltecently a most respectabla Ilarcnet, a matt of high family and large property in that cnut.ty, Sir Thos. &monde, was a candidate for the freedom of the Corpc.r3tion, and was ex cluded in consequence of being a Catholic, svh;le an individual much inferior to him in rank and fortune was elected. Under these dr cumstances he thought the prayer of the Petition was entitled to every consideration. NEwroar and Mr. Hume supported the prayer of the Pe tition, which was ordered to be printed. Mr. COLIRTEICAY broughi up the Report of the County JAN Bill, which was ordered to be takes into further consideration on the3d of May. Mr. HUME 'presented a Petition from the Journeymen Calico Printers of Lancaster, against the Combination Laws. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a Petition from Wiltshire, against the repeal of the Duty on Foreign Wool.—OrdLred to lie on the table. ?ir. BUTTERWORTH presented a Petition from Doncaster, in f:.vo•:rof 1:e Bill for preVenting Cruelty to Animals.—Ordered to lit , on the table. Mr. IIUTTER.WORTH said that he had another Petition to present, :o which he was induced to call the :mention of the House. It was feom certain respectable Fishmongers hf London, who com plained of the practice of selling fish on Sundays—a practice frOnt which they themselves refrained from conscientious scruples. ft hod been alleged that tuackarel must be sold on Sundays, becanse they would not keep longer thon twenty-four hours; but he (Mr. Butterworth) could not admit this, as mackerel kept as:well,in his opinion, as any other fish—(A laugh).—The Honourable Member thought the Petition worthy of the attention of the House. • Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, he had no efiljection to hear :he Peti tion trod, although from what the Honourable Member had quoted he could nut well conceive a Petition couched in terms more ritli culoteely absurd—(ilear, and a lauoh). There was however one simple way of relieving those conscientious fishmongers from the obligation of sehi.ig fish on Sundays, which was by printing their names at the end of the Petition.
