The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition signed by 140 Protestants of the Town of Devonport, in the County of Devon, against granting further concessions to the Catholics.— Laisl on the table. Viscount AIF.I.VILLE, in rising pursuant to his notice, said, that it would be in their Lordships' recollection that on one or two occasions, in former Sessions, a Bill had been sent up from the Commons to alter the mode of choosing Juries in Scotland. He had objcted to those Bills, hecabse, in the first place, he thought the evil was not felt so extensively in Scotland as it had bees repre sented, and because the machinery of the measures. proposed ap peared imperfect and likely to create greater inconvenience than it Was intended to remedy. In the comae of the last Session he had said that be would undertake, with the concurrence of those who were much more competent than himself, to prepare a Bill which would answer the purpose better, without des-amen the course of Maim. This was the BM which he was now proposing. He should briefly describe its objects. In trials for High Treason, the Scotch law wai the-same as the English, and when an act of High Treason or insurrection had been committed, a Commission was issued to the impeached county fur the trial of the offenders. This course had been found in some cases very inconvenicht in Scotland, as the Assizes were held regularly only in three or four counties for whole districts. It was now proposed that the Grand Jurors elected for those Counties should be summoned to all other Counties where trials for high treason might take place. With respect to the pre sent mode of choosing Juries, it was done in this manner. The list furnished to the prisoner ten days before his trial, was laid be fore the Judge, who selected the names he pleased out of it. Ac cording to the present Bill, the choice would be made by ballot, And a power of challenging would bi given to the prisoner. Sects were the objects of the Bill, which he moved should now be read a first time.—Agreed to. Mr. Bitootom, and a large number of Members.brought up from the Commons, the Unlawful Societies' (Irish) Bill. On the motion of the Earl of Lavesesiox, the Bill was read a tint time. The Noble Earl then moved that it be printed, mid gave notice, that he should propose the second reading on isltutsday next, for which day their Lordships were ordered to be summoned. CATHOLIC PETITIONS. Earl DARNLEY, in rising to present a Petition, numerously signed by the Catholic Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Catharine. hi the City of Dublin, seized the fist opportunity afforded him, of coming his protest against the Bill which had just been introduced. The Pt titionrrs prayed that it alight not be passed without their below heard in their defence, or to its being lounded on some Par liamentary grounds. kle (Lord Darnley) also entreated their Lord ships to consider what consequences might result from the measure now brought before them, and to pause ere thej gave it their as sent.--,The Petition was then read, and laid on the table. 'Me Nobl• Earl then presented another to the same effect from the Catholics of the County of Monaghan, but wished it should be understood that whilst lie advocated the prayer of the Petition, lie did not stand up as the Jpologist of every act lone by the Cathclic Association.—Head and laid on the table. Toe Earl of CARNA RYON held a similar Petition from the Catholic Inhabitants of a certain Parish in the County of Cork, hut as instead of the word " humbly," the words " most respectfully" had been introduced. be feared that the forms of the House would not allow .1 its bAtig received. Alter some conversation ou the sulaject, the word " humbly" was written in at the suggestion of the Earl of Ltv carom., and the Pe tition was laid on the table. - Lord HOLLAND had several Petitions to present against the Bill now before the House. Their language was proper and consti tutional, and they appeared to him to contain strong arguments against the passing of the measure. .The Noble Lords opposite might be of a different opinion, for if their objection to the Catholic Association was, that it spoke the sense of the Irish people, and sought for relief from what all considered as a grievance, the more the Petitions should prove the universality of that feeling, the more objectionable they must also become. He hoped, how ever, that they did not mean to trench on the right of petition, and 'that they would take time for consideration and inquiry before they adopted the present Bill. The Noble Baion then presented Petitions, breathing the sante spirit, ibough not wotded in the same manner, from the Catholics of Drogheda, Kinsale; Ross, Carbery, and Ballinasloe.—Read, and laid on the table. Earl W ILLIA M presented Similar Petitioni from the Catholic inhabitants of Skibbereen, in the'Coutity of Coat, and from ihe Catholics of the County of Wexford.—Read; and laid on the table. Earl GROSVENOR also presented a Petition from the Catholics! Of the Parish of St. Andrew, in the City of Dublin, against a 84 1 t Aida& be thought as Unconstitutional ai injuflicloul, 'and towliich he could not give his assent.—Laid on the table: ' r. Lord .1i LNG presented a similar Petition front-the Catholic's or the Parish of St : . Michael, Dublio.-Laid on the tattle. '.,the Marquis of LA NSDOWN bad also seVeral,Petitions to iresent against 'the Bill, but before be did' so, 'he trusted the illedalesy of the Ovum would allow him to state, that since he lad hail the honour of presenting the Pattltion of Protestant -Peers and. Gentlemen in favour of Catholic Emancipation, be had received letters front two Noble Peers, the hiorquis of Sligo and Lord Ash-, town, expressing their desire that before the Petition should *, presented, they should have an idpportlmity of adding tteir naineV to those which it contained. Those kttets, however, had strived too tete for that purpose. With respect lathe Bill itself, he thought It not only ineibcarious, ,but most unconstitutional. He welsh!' not, however, enter into a premature discussion. Front the num ber and the respectability of the individual who had Signed the Petitions which he was abtivk 'lying before the House, he hoped that they would be treated, with dua'atiantion. The first was sob. scribed by 3,000 names, and came from the Roman Catholics of Great Britain.—Read,and laid oft the tabfe. The Noble Marquis then ' presented Petitions of a. similar ligature front the. Catholics of 'Maryborough, of Cove, of several parishes in the- county of Dublin,- s otehe parishes of St. Nicholas, Sc. Luke's, and St. Peter's, in the Bithop:s Liberties, of Killarney, of Cloughnara, of Tralee, and of the city and county of Limerick. The latter, however, having had the seal and part of the words turn off, was understood not to be received. It was signed by 6,000 individuals. The others were laid on the table. Viscount CLIFDEN held a Petition against the Bill, signed by a great number, of the Protestants as well as the Catholic inhabi tants of Kilkenny. He did not anticipate that the measure would produce the effect which its authors expected. Two years ago a Bill had been passed to put down Orange Secietlea, and they were now more flourishing and numerous than before. .He believed that a Vast majority of Protestants in the three provinces of Mun ster, Connaught, and Lelnster, wished Catholic Emancipation to be carried, provided it should be attended with an alteration in the mode of voting at elections, and that the qualification fog the do& dye franchise should be raised. The Petition having been read, aed laid on the table, • The Noble Viscount presented similar ones front the Cathi; lie inhabitants of New Ross, Mallow, Newry, several parighet•lii the county and city of Dublin, the towns of Galway, Team, hies ntingham, and its neighbourhood, Dingle, and Clownea.—Laid on the table.

The Peti tioners described themselves as the Clergy of the Arch deaconry- of Bath, as if they' had been a Corporate Body, which they were note and they assumed a dicta torial tone towards the House. The precedent was dangerous, for why Might not other bodies do the same? It their Lordships admitted dictation froth the Church, why should not the Army also propose measures to then'? It was to flrin the face of Goo ALMr6H t r► to call upon the Muse to continue grievances upon a part of our fellow-countrythen. - The Bishop of BATH and WELLS wished that thb Noble Earl would say to what parts of the Petition he objected, and he would endeavour to answer his objec tions; but to general observations he could only given general reply. It was the privilege of all British sub jects to speak their stntiments to Parliament upon all question: ; why should the Petitioners alone be prevented from usill that right ? Earl FITZWILLIAM read some passages of the Pe tition, as those which he deemed objectionable, as they attributed motives and Objects to the Catholics which were not true, and which the Petitioners could not prove. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS observed, that such Petitions came from every other B 'dy or Corpo ration, why object to that now before their Lordships? This objection did not come very well after a Petition which he had not opposed, because he respected the right of Petition, though the whole body of Catholics said in it, that they were denied the privilege of free religious wor ship, Which was a notoriously unfounded assertion. Lord HOLLAND stated, that if the question were whether the Petition should be received or no, he should have no hesitation in giving his vote for receiving it. But if the Right Reverend Prelate thought th.it it was a regular one which he had presented; he was completely in error. It came from a body which was not a regular body, and coming without a Corporation seal, it must be considered as the Petition of the individuals signing it, and not of the body itself. As such he was willing to receive it, notwithstanding the false:ll.43d of its alle gations. It contained the ward " humbly, but dis.i played little humility. It contained the word " charity,* but evinced little of the spirit of charity. His Noble Friend had read the passages to IA hick he ohj-cted, but the Right Rev. Prelate had passed them over altogether. The Petition said that the whole Catholic Body openly . avowed the intention of establi-hing the supremacy of the Pope in this country. • It was possible that such an intention should be suspected; but no just man, no Alan impressed with the spirit of Christianity, would impute More motives, when not only they were not avowed by the Cattiolies, but were distinctly disclaimed in every Petition which they had presented to that House. The general Petition peesented some days before by a Noble Friend of his, (the Earl of Donoughmore) from the great body of the Catholics of Ireland, not only disclaimed each an intention, but avowed and proclaimed the principle of Civil and Religious Liberty. The Bishop of CHESTER could not sit quietly and hear the Noble Lord declare that the assertion that the superiority of the Pope was aimed at by ti , e Catholics was false. He admitted that they mere too wise to make the assertion in any documents before that • House, because it would be illegal ; but it was avowed in all their publications. There was a Ca tholic Journal circulated - through the kingdom, and • most extensively througt his own diocese, the Editor of which, an individual who had received the thanks of every Catholic Association, had stated in December last', that he could not approve the regulations intro. diced by the King of France into the Gallivan Crouch, because they seemed to infringe on the authority of the' Pope; and he deprecated any interference of the civil povi er in the supremacy of the Pope. The same doe• trine was maintained by the Catholics everywhere. It was asserted in the county of Lancaster 'by almost all the Catholic Priests; and many of the latter in his Dein diocese made no scruple of telling the people, that the Churches of the Kingdom once were theirs, and would soon be again. It was hard to impute the etpressiou -of such a well-founded conviction to a want ot: charity. Heconfessed that there were expressions in (he Petiti-lt .._. . . _ before - - • Ailed by pt_ of %Veils.
