Viscount CU MEN pr#sented three Petitions front certain - Parishes in the Counties of Limerick and, Cork, ppying for mndi hcatinns in the Tithe Composition Act passed lasE Session. With respect to one of these Parisi:Es, it so happened that 'the inhabit am; ir.d never seen their Rector, and that the parochial Church was absolutely in ruins; and thls, he could assure their 1 ordsblps, was the only knowledge the people had of the ex:strum of the ablished Church at all. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented a Petition from the new town of Dcvonport, in thf• Can-ty of Devri, for the Aboli tion of Slavery. He also laid upon the table of the House similar Petitions from the Borough of Bridport, artil front the - inhabitants of Tunbridge, in Kent. TITHE COMPOSITION ACT. The Earl of KINGSTON presented a Petition from tYte Palish of Ballyrock, in the Co - unty of Cork, against the compulsory clause contained in the Act of last Ses sion for the Composition of Tithes. The Noble Earl enteted into some details in relation to the prayer of the Petitioners, from which it appeared that a Vestry had been called in the _parish aforesaid, when the Itec , totsof the same (Dr. Woodward) wanted no less than 2000/. a-year in composition for the tithes ; but this de mand was rejected by the inhabitants, who interrogated the Reverend Divine as to whether he bad not of lied in better times to commute for the sum of 16001. thong li only 14001. could previously , be got. Dr. Woodward could not obtain to the amount of 16p01. a-year Upon. the rectorial tithes in the year 1869, when war prices were paid for everything; and therefore he (Earl King ston) thought that the Reverend Divine, in expecting 20001. a-year in composition for his tithesoves much upon a par with his Proctor, and that both one and the other were altogether in unison with the late Act The Bishop of LIMERICK said that he wished to trouble their Lordships with some explanation of what had fallen from the Noble Earl opposite.(Kingston), as far as the Noble Earl's remarks might implicate the character of the Clergyman he had just mentioned. He now herd in his hand a letter from the Rev. Dr. Wood ward, the contents of which induced him (the Bisfrop of Limerick) tit infer that the Petition wiaich the Noble Earl bad presented was, in many respects, at least, erro neous. Not that he wished to be understood as saying that the Noble Earl had brought the Petition impro-. pelly before their Lordships; brit- from his long know ledge of Dr. Wood ward's character, and affectionate at-- tach ment shewe towards that Divine by his parishioners; he must conclude that the statement made by the Noble Earl was essentially wrong. It appeared that Dr. Woo dward had taken the average cf the year 1809, the very' year during which he originally came to reside on his benefice, as an equitable average in the valuation of the tithes. It ought, however, to be mentioned that Dr.: Woodward had, on the proposal of Mr. Montgomery, 'resorted to an entirelynew and unprecedented mode of estimating his clerical dues. This experiment, fur such it was, consisted in appointing two farmers from each town -land as assessors, and, upon their sheaving, those tithes; valued-once at 20001. a-year, were represented as not exceeding the sum (f 16001. a-year. Thus had Dr. Woodward offered to. the Vestry a compromise for 16001. a-year, though the provisions of the Inte 'Act of Parliament would have entitled him to 20001. a-year. Hence, therefore, so far from the Rev. Divine's having at all exceeded his legal rights, he had not only*ept within them, but he in reality had receded from them. With respect to General Barry, whose name appeared in connection with this transaction, it was possible that Gentleman might have some pecuntary advantage in making Dr. 'Woodward's income less. Than Dr. ‘Voodward there lived not a kinder-hearted man, a more assiduous and useful tesident in Ireland, or a bet ter Clergyman; and if his parishioners could appear :at their Lordships' bar, and be permitted to .beat testi mony to the character of Dr. Woodward, they would confirm whatever he (the Bishop of Limerick) now advanced in favour of him. But sorry was he himself to say, that there wem e• persons who, ever since the ope ration of the Tie Act, had contributed to agitate the people of .lieland, though they ought to have set a better example, and might perhaps live to iegret that they had tiot set it ; and this because the •measure took off half the hurdlers of tithes from the shoulders cf the poor, where it ou g ht never to lie, and laid it upon the . shoulders of the landholders, where it ought to be.
