The Eitl of CLARENDON acknowledged the obli gations under which the House and the country laid to the Nob!e and Learned Eli' for the great care and attention he had bestowed upon this Bill ; but as he was a profess -d enemy of the whole measure, it behoved the House to look at t.is psopnsed amendments with some degree of caution.

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL, Lord ELDON presented a Petition horn the :Slayer, Aldermen, and Corporation of lieverky, against any further concessions to the Catholics. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that if his Noble and Learned Friend meatt to propose this alteration in the preamble, and the alteration of which he had spoken in the declaration, as a bar to any hopes or expectations whiCh the Catholics might entertain, he should feel bound to oppose both his amendments; not because Ifs opinions on the subject of the C.tholic clams bad an &rggine any change, but hecau.e he did not think PAr. li.intent called upon on the piesent occasinn to say ore word upon that subject. His opinion with tesprct to the Catholics was the same as iz had ever been; but his sole object in promoting the pressnt Bill wars to do away with the Sacramental Test, and not to affect the condition or prospects of the Catholics in any manner or degree. The proposed alteration did not appear to him to he necessary. The Earl of ELDON could not see why there should be any objection to add the words he bad proposed to the declaration, to be taken on adnsis , ion into Corrora lions in England. Nothing could be more mistaken than the idea of the Noble Duke, that the Bill in its piesent shape world neither preju-ice nor primote the Catholic. Q testirn. He was I tray convinced that it was impossible, unless smile express declaration, of . the nature of that he wished to introduce, were added * to the Bill, that it . would go oat of that House %lily:nit materially affecting the Catholic Question. Ile - only desired to prevent the Corporations of England' him* being exposed to the Catholics; and he woied agitto propose this Amendment on the third reading, if it should be rejected now, as without it he saw no skeilitt why the Roman Catholics might not fill all . the Cei6i porations of the kinzdom. Lord FALMOUTH would surpost . the Amen whenever the Noble and Learned Lord brortght . ir 10- , ward. He thought the danger gteat. The C •tporattin Act was the only means by which Cathol(rs were now excluded from C-n-poration., and it must not be forge ta ten that Corporations were the doors Cm Parliament.

Wi!h regard to the exportation of Curti to the isle of Man, and the re-importa tion of it in - Flour, this had gone to an extent for which there was no remedy, as the whole that had been imported since July last had undergone this process, which the Noble land thought was what might to be very much reprobated by the Howe. Tice Prtitioners, however. seemed to be under a mistake with respect to the relief to be obtained, inasmuch as they prayed .he Dottie to pass an Act forthwith to put a stop to this practice, until a gto.-rat Act revising the Corn Laws was enacted.

The murder of the Professors of Coimbra, by their I own students, has been exceeded, and even rendered ten thousand times more barbarous. A•volunteer of that body called " Pedro IV." was seized by a party of the rebels who took refuge in Spain, thrown upon a bench, stripped naked. and then deliberately ripped open in the manner and form the butchers of the country do their pigs ; and his body was subsequently treated with every indignity. This is inhuman, but such are the dim:riot mutual hatred. Yet the Gazelle of L.isbcn, which is now interested for the support of the Absolutist faction, although it lays great stress on the monstrous conduct of the students, does nut deign.to mention this savage atrocity, nor the murder at Lamereo of the soldier, solely for cheering the acknowledges* King of Portugal; nor the assassination of the Major of the Fourth, on his way to Lisb. , n from Upper Beira. Tie murderers of the Professors are to be tried, and deservedly punisheJ. The following barbarity will serve al,o to illustrate' the spirit of the time. A mistier of the 7th Infantry, which regiment is now stationed at Beato A wool°, about one and a half mile to the eastward of the city, took a wire trap with three live rats into a worn, in which were seated the Chaplain, a Captain, and an Ensign of this regiment. '1 he Captain said that the Chaplain should give names to the captive vermin ; the soldier having been •rdered to withdraw, and the door being closed, the Chaplain, with some formality, bestowed on the rats the names of " Don Miguel, the old Queen, and the Conde de Rio Pardo, now War Minister." The three officers then commenced an attack with sharp p AnteJ knives on their prisoners. Jests, laughter, and shouts followed—" Now 1 have stuck the Queen twice, 1 have lamed Don Miguel—see the hole I made i i the skin of the old gray Count." This exhibition they continued until their victims ceased to palpitate; but the soldier, who knew those three men to be Corr stitutionalists. as they called themselves, watched and beard their observations ; he soon discovered the whole ; the three brutes .►ere wrested arid thrown into prison, to suffer all this severity of the law, while .the informer was rewarded with a Cadetship in another regiment; and, as it is necessary that each Cadet should have about 40i. pee annum, the Regent has undertaken to pay it for him. Report asserts that Telles Jordao, an officer much talked of last year for his adherence to Chaves, has been seen several times in different parts of Tras-os Monies. No doubt he is making preparations for the triumphal return of his partizans when Des Miguel shall be pro claimed. Lord HAREWOOD presented a Petition from the Minister and Churchwardens of Woodhouse Ckapti, Leeds, against further concession to the Catholics. The Nlarquis of LA NSDOWN presented a Petition from two Parishes in the County of Derby, lot the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Earl of CARNARVON present e d a Petition from Mr. Isaac Goldsmid, of Dulwich, in the County of Surrey, a Gentle man of the Jewish persuasion, complaining of the introduction of the words " on the faith of a Cbri,tian," into the Dclaration to be made by persons previously to their accepting office. If this form of Declaration were insisted on, it would place the Jews in a worse situation than they now were under the existing laws. As the law at present stood the Jews were relieved by the Annual Indemnity Bill. The l'etition stated, tha: iu the Act of Geo. I. Jews were expressly exempted from being obliged to take the oath of abjuration. The Lite Annuity Act Repeal Bill went through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. •VIC , T AWD CORPORATION ACTS. On bringing up the Report of the Test and Corporation Acts Repeal 13111. The Eirl of ELDON said,-that he had now another amendment to propose different from any of those which he had taken the of suggesting to their Lordships when they were in the Committee upon this Bill. He had stated h;s iiitenti is to be, to move these amendments a second time in bringing up the Report, for the purpose of having them iuseried upon the jour nals. This intention he would postpone until the third reading. It appeared to be the desire of the House that this Bill should pass; and although be did not concur in the wish of the majority of the H use, he thought it his duty to do all that l e could to improve the lie had bestowed great reflection upo r this Bill, and he found in the second clause of the preamble matter of grave consideration. He would now therefore propose an amendment upon this clause, not discouraged by 'the fate which had attended his former attempts, for as he had discovered new reasons for dissenting from the measure since it was last under discussion, it was but lair and reasonable for him to suppose it possible that some others of their Lordships might, in the same period, have seen reason for an abatt ment of their at• tachment to it. The second clause in the recital ap peared to him to be substantially a clause, not for the relief of the Dissenters so much as for the relief of the Roman Catholics. This clause was, as it appeared to him, most artfully drawn up. It was borrowed from the Act of Union with Scotland, but it omitted some most important expressions contained in that Act. He would read the expressions of the Act of Union— Whereas the true Protestant Religion, as professed by the Church of England, and the true Protestant Reli gion, as professed by the Church of Scotland, are esta blished in those countries respecti►ely, and inviolable parts of their constitution." Now the preamble of this Bill stated, that the Established Church of England and the Established Church of Scotland were inviolable; but left out the declaration that the Protestant Religion was established and inviolable. He laid great stress upon this. because it . might Well be that the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Established Church of England .and Scotland might be established, and yet . the Protestant Religion bot established. The words as they now stood did nut recognise the rrotsstant . • Ttse Bishop of CHESTER observed, that the . Citfiots Tics were now obliged by law, prertous to their adaiis. sion to Corporations, to take the oaths of supreniary and abjuration, and this niust operate as an effectual esclu.ion of them. The Protestant Dissenters, on the other hand, were prepared to offer Anti a security as might safely be accepteJ. Hr did not see, therefore, wby t! e measure should be encumbered with any new clause. The Earl of ELDON must take the liberty of saying, that if the Protestant religion was henceforth to beton. sidered as a fundamental part of the Con , iitution of this country, it was not fit or safe to leave out all recogni. tion of it in the present Bill. The House had deter mined that the oa•hs of Aliegimice and Supremacy were not a striELient security against the ad:iris:ion of Papists, without adding to them the t!eclaration agaiiist Transubstantiation. And in lieland the• Catholics had been and unwilling to take the 0.1 hof A:lee tante to his Maje ty; his hens and sukcessors, iin:ess the lipids being Protestant," were omitted. T. ronghout the whole of the discussion in that House they had nevi; had one word of I xplana• ion whether, after this EN was passed, they must not still have annual Indeinuity Acts. With respect toCorporatit r.s, the Mayor ledght he a Justice of the Peact, and the Aldermen might" be Justices of the Peace, or they n.ight not. If trey item, tilts, as Justices of the Peace, but not as Mayor or Al dermen, they were required io subscribe the declaration against Transubstantiation. There was nothing in the 801 l to call upon the Mayor or Aldes men of Corporations, as such, to take the declaration required of Justices of the Peace, and he ventured to sat there was nothing to prevent Catholics from being Mayors or Aldermen. The Bishop of CHESTER expressed his high respect for the Noble and Learned Lord, to whom the Church of England had been so long and so largely indebted for the care and attention he had bestrmeJ uron it's in terests and welfare, and he professed that it was always with the greatest pain that lie felt it to be his duty, as upon the present occasion, to diisent from his opinions. The Duke of NEWCASTLE exleressed himself warmly in favour of the amendment, and hoped the House would not so far depart from its general character and feelings as to reject this Protestant Declaration. After a desultory conversation across the table, between several Peers, The Bishop of LLANDAFF siagftsted to the Noble and Learned Lord the expedieacy of withdrawing his amendment. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed, that the amendments roposed by the Noble and Learned E..rl might be supposed to affect the position of Catholic Officers in the army and navy. The motion, so far as it extended to exclude Catholics from Corporations, would also exclude them from the army and navy, for which they' vete :It present eligible. Them were in Ireland some Corporations to which Catholics were adinitted. 4 1 o•-• The LORD-CIFANCELLOIt thought hetaderstood • , • :i~
