Toe Earl of KINGSTON moved for copies of all Returns of Endowed Schorils in Ireland, with the names of the masters of each school, and specifying which enduwments were without either house's or mailers. _ _ The Earl of CA RBER IZY took occasion to allude to the Com mission,:rs appointed to inquire I.lto the state of education in Ireland. He ukderstood that .ipplications to the Grand Juries of Ireland for somsTn aid of the Diocesan Schools were about to he made ; but whether this would make patties more attentive to their duty or not, time alone would chew. Ile wished in the me..ntime that the proceedings of the Board of Education should be suspended; so that the whole business might be brought before the Commissioners for their decision. The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that the Noble Lord had better not nuke such a motion as be had just intimated, without first giving notice of it to the house.—llls suggestion was cons plied with. Upon the motion of the Earl of Snarvesauits, the Consolidated Fund Surplus Bill and the Australian Company's Bill, were read a third time, passed, and sent to the Commons. REVERSALS OF ATTAINDERS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that he had risen in obedience to his Majesty's command, and with signal pleasure to himself, to present to their Lordships a series of Bills for the restoration of Peerages dormant for no inconsiderable time. When his Majesty was graciously pleased to visit his ancient kingdom of Scotland in the. year 1822 (and it would be recollected that his Majesty was the first Prince of his Illustrious House who had visited that kingdom), their Lordships could not think it unnatpral for the descendants of certain great houses to petition his Majesty to restore those honours of which their families had been deprived by the conduct of their ancestors in turbulent and warlike times. Nor could it appear at all extraordinary to those of their Lordships who knew the disposition of his Majesty, that such soli citations should affect the benignity of his Majesty's mind ; but though his Majesty at once consented to ap plications so respectfully made, considerable time was found necessary to carry them into effect, and further time was necessary for preparing such Bills. These in eluded four cases; and in fixing the subjects of Royal clemency, their Lordships would be satisfied that party had no consideration in it ; they were entirely and de cidedly acts of real grace and pure favour on the part of his Majesty, and their Lordships, he was confideall would be satisfied with the propriety and juitice,Ofiiie proceeding—(Cheers from both sides of Me House... T— . doubts he was aware had been &pressed in a for mer case ; but in the present instance it was an act of Royal grace and favour, springing from the kind dis rosition of the Sovereign now !rated on the throne of this kingdom, and merited by the loyalty and good con duct of the parties who had petitioned for his Majesty's grace. It would not have satisfied the Royal mind in such a case if the restoration did not constitute an act of justice as well as grace, and therefore he had to pro pose the reversal of the attainder on Lord Stafford, which be regarded as the greatest blot in the history of this country at that time, and he had only to hope that in presenting this Bill he was doing away with the greatest stigma on the Parliament of Scotland. The next Bill provided for the restoration of John Francis Erskine, as the Earl of Marr. The third Bill provided for the restoration of the Earldom of Kenmuir ; and the fourth Bill for that of James Drummond, Esq. as Earl of, Perth, from which title his ancestors had been degraded by the Parliament of Scotland in the year 1620. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that he did not ' object to the proceedings contemplated by the Bills which the Noble Lord bad presented to the House ; but he must take the liberty of observing, that they must be introduced as solving doubts with respect to the parties who were to be benefited by them ; for in his apprehen sion, they could not go to the reversal of attainders ; for if the latter were intended, he had strong doubts whe ther their Lordships had the power to reverse where there was a complete misnomer. With this impression, but with no wish whatever to intercept the merciful in tentions of the Sovereign, he thought their Lordships ought to call for the opinion of the Judges with respect to the Bill. He was convinced, at the same time, that the head of the family of Drummond was entitled to the style of Viscount Strathallen. The Earl of RADNOR opposed the way of proceeding. The first thing which ought to be done was to produce the document of attainder. It must be in existence, and he thought it ought to . be called for. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in explanation, said that the Bill did not mention merely the i eversal of attainder, but provided for the complete restoration of the honours of the family. When, therefore, the Noble Lord (Rad- , ,nor) opposed the first reading of the Bill, he should only remind their Lordships that such Bills must always en i- Iginate with the Crown, and come to their Lordships signed by his Majesty's hand. He believed that their Lordships were never in the habit cf refusing a first Irea,iing to any Bill ; it was permitted as a matter of courtesy ; and he hoped, not that such a courtesy should be denied to the Crown, but that he should not himself' be made a single exception to it. The Earl of RADNOR complained that the Noble Lord opposite had pointed him out, by his manner of addressing their Lordships, as if he were inimical to the benignity of the Crown. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he tendered it as a Bili of the same kind as others which had been tender ed, signed by the King.—Earl RADNOR explained. The LORD CHANCELLOR could see no difficulty in their Lordships way. The Bill was ample, as it recited all .the former Acts of Parliament which con cerned the parties, and no supplemental information was required. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was about to more that for the rea d theb benefit of m of w ; l l i n i c y h N tl , 7 ) i i r e Lo Lo r r d d a the Stand u i l i d ig le O ar r: i i , ers ships would wl.o was uninformed on the subject, %% hat their usual mode of proceeding was. Lord HOLLAND here interposed, by ~b sery Mg that the House had certainly a right of interleting on even the first reading of any Bill ; but it was iistial with their Lordships, and he thought the continuance of the cus tom much better than an aberration from it, to allow Bills to proceed through their first stage. As far as the present Bills, which the Noble Earl had so properly introduced, cauld be supposed to affect his own feelings, he could on!yr say he was most willing to eacourage them in any stage. He did not at the same time pre tend to know whether the same measure might not be accomplished in another form, and perhaps more con sonant to the precedents of that House; but he begged leave to add, that with all fair distrust of his Majesty's Ministers at particular times, he really was willing to give the Noble Earl full credit for having seal ched into precedents on this occasion ; and, at all events, it WAS in convenient to discuss the measure in its present stage. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that he had not risen to oppose the first reading of the Bills, but to give notice to their Lordships of the objections he intended to offer in atio:her stage. The Bill, as he understood, did not totally, but only partially, reverse the attainder. Viscount 3IELVILLE spoke in defence of the . Bills generally, on the ground of precedent. The Earl of RADNOR said, that he wished the Noble Earl opposite to allow the Bills to be printed before they proceeded to another stage. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, if that were the only point contended for by the Noble L rd, he cer tainly had no objection to it. Lord nEt.ti A V1?;14 should oppose the measure if it -"safe con; trary to the Articles of Union. The Earl of LIVERPOOL—The attainder took plat:, since*? Union, and had nothing to do with it. Lord I3ELHA V EN explained. The Earl of RA DNOR suggested that the Bill should printed. The Pal of LIVEItPOOL assented. The NVEarillien moved the lit re:aditig of the Bill for restoring Wttv. Nairne, Esq to the dignity of his ancestors as Lord Nairne. - The Earl of RADNOR objected to the title of the Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL visited to have the common cour tesy shewn to him which was extended to every Peer on the first reading of any Bill, and he did not know why that rule should not be attended to on this most sacred occasion—(llear!) explanations took place between the Karl of Livzaroot., Lord RADNOR, and Lord HOLLAND, after which the Bill was read a first time. and ordered to be printed. The Earl of LIVERPOOL then presented a BiR for reversing the Attainder on William Lord Viscount Stafford. which was also read a first time, amidst the cheerings of the House. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S presented several Petitions against the two English Roman Catholic Bills about to be discussed by their Lordships. The first of the series was front the Protstant Union residing in London and its vicinity ; the second was front the Clergy of the Diarse of Brecon ; the third front the Archdea conry of Cardigan; the lburtb from the Archdeaconry of Carnar von; anS the atth front the Archdeaconry of St. David's. ENGLISII ROMAN CATHOLICS. 4 T i liqOrcler of the Day faring now trod, . Tl* Mari:o4,of LANSDOWN rose.—He had risen )e-sad, in, purslane of. a notice ;viiich he had given, for the purpose of moving the second .eatimg of two Bills not novel to their Lordships, as thet etc ac quainted with their operations in the Si aei Kingdom, which would go to accomplish a vet y partial repeal of those laws which still oppressed his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. Whatever their Lordships should think proper to do with the present Bills, he was confident that the arguments he should have the honour to offer to their consideration, would be heard with a feeling of jus tice towards his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in England ; he would say with justice, because it was im possible for their Lordships neat to know that the allevi ations he sought on behalf of English Catholics had been conceded to their Irish brethren. He could not help regarding it as a favourable omen, that on the very day his duty had called upon him to twice the motion now before their Lordships, the Noble Eat I opposite had come down, at the instance of the Crown, in order to propose the reversal of an act of injustice which had been com mitted on a Roman Catholic family, and so committed by a Protestant Parliament, in tinie of ignorance and error—times which intolerance would enueavour to re vive, but which, he earnestly hoped, their Lordships would not condescend to wink at. In now calling their Lordships' attention to the present Bids, therefore, he should nut notice that hostile feeling which arose from an opinion that no religious reconciliation could possi bly take place, and that upon such grounds all conces sion must be denied, because it was in the power of the opposing party to resist and deny it.* To persons who possessed such feelings as these he would address no ar gument whatever, but content himself with declaring, that all the subjects of the British Empire ought to en joy, in every possible form, every privilege not incon sistent with the safety of the State, :al not only so, for the privileges now claimed were compatible and recon cileable with that safety, and indeed he c , nsiJei ed them essential to it. The common o')ject rf the two Bills now before their Lordships was to pl. ce the Roman Catholics of Great Britain, in a great de t ree, on the same footing as the Roman Catholics in lteland. When he stated that this was the object r f the Bills, he would place their footing on another ground. He would say, that when Parliament was endeavouring to assimilate all parts of the United Kingdom to each ether—when we wete assimilating the system of taxation—when we were assimilating and consolidating the system of the Revenue of the three kingdoms—and wl.en we were en deavouring to assimilate the laws in the tame manner— when this assimilation was going on, not tardily, but in cessantly, he hoped he had stated quite enough to induce their Lordships at once to embrace the present Bills.— But neither wauld 1 e contend that the existence of a mere anomaly in legislation was a sufficient reason to call for the intei fur ence of their Lordships; for in all such cases some plausible teas 'n might bc urged for the anomaly ; but s o tar fioas this being the reason with respect to the English Roman Cat! D ries, he would ask their Lordships if that descripticn tit s Majesty's relief they subjects was not eminently entitled to the rel_ still sought tor? Under this impression, t e first Bill propesed•to extend to the Boman Cathal c; of Great Britain the benefit of the elective franchise.: It it were i that sech an extension of privi legesalleged as an objection Ireland, the evil had arisen had been an evil in from the subdivision of the couutry, which would not This day were published, in One Vol. price 7s. in boards, T H E DIFFICULTIES OF INFIDELITY.- By the Rev.
