Lady Ann having married Sir William Johnstone Hope, now mi of the Lords of the Admiralty, and her Ladyship dying on the 27th of August, IMS, the claimant, her son maintains that, as heir tt her, and through the failure of the hei rs male of tbe.body of Earl James and the death of his grandfather James, Earl of I lapetoun, without issue male, he, the claimant, has right to succeed to the title and humours. In prosecution of this claim, there appeared at the bar. ad his Counsel, Messrs. An. HISICRT Kest', and blascaterr, who tendered to their Lordships, in the order necessary In prove pedi gree and the continued line of descent, and the deaths of lusesessive• Individual heirs, twenty.one deeds, same of them extremely an cleat, flowing from the original patent in 16:.3; and their 'authen ticity and correctness as tallying with National Records and Prin cipal Deed% was proved by Hugh James Rollo, Esq. writer to the Signet, who answered the various questions put to him, touching the facts, by the Attorney-General and the Lord Advocate of Scotland, on the part of the Crown.

Mr. Moat suer will then addreu the House on the part of the respondent, Sir Hew Dalrymple Hamilton, Bart. cause being most important both to the Law of Scotland, in regard to succession and title, and to the parties concerned, k continues to excite much attention, many persons having assembled, on both days of hearing, below the bar. Mr. Womusouss, Mr. Asians?, and other Members, from the -House of Commons, brought up several Private Bills,-which were toad a first time. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. . The Eirl of LIVERPOOL presented Petitions from the Town of Stoke, and the Trades House in Glasgow, against the Catholic Chinni.—Liid on the table. The Earl tif ENNISKILLEN presented a Petition from Ty rone, ads diOther from several Parishes in the County of Ferma nagh, agairnt the Claims of the Catholics. The Bishop of EXETER presented a Petition from Callington, against the Claims of the Catholics. Lord KING said be had a Petition to present from certain per sons residing in the Town of Sidmouth, in the County of Devon, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. A Petition from the same Town was presented i few days since by a Noble Lord (Lord Rolle) opposite, but that Petition was whist the Claims of the Catholics. Hi s (Lord lane!) Petition was agreed to at a Public Meeting; each, however, ems net the case with the other, which was seat round frost ho use to house, and thus a great number of signatures had been procured. - Lord ROLLE observed, that the Petition presented by him contained the names of a great many persons, and was certainly as respectably signed as the Petition now presented by the Noble Lord. He (Lord Rolle) had, however, some objections to this Petition. The very first name contained in it was that of the late Member for the county of Waterford, who fled from such tragic scenes as had been acted at Scullabogue and elsewhere, and now resided in this country. He had been most actively engaged in getting up this Petition. He (Lord Rolle) did not think the Gentleman to whom he alluded had made a fair return for the Undoess with which he had been treated by the inhabitants of Sidmouth, in endeavouring to sow division and dissection, while others were endeavouring to pre serve peace. The Earl of LIMERICK said that he knew the Gen tleman to whom the Noble Lord referred, and knew that a mote uptight or more honourable man did not exist. Any one to have heard the Noble Lord would have suppnsed that that Gentleman had been some person who had fled from his own country to seek pro- tection here; bat he required no protection. He was a man of spirit, of honour, and of integrity, whose cha• fader stood high both in kis own country and in this, and was re spected and beloved equally is Ireland and Ragland. He had sold his property in cme land to reside in another • but be did not de serve to be sdgmatised as" he had been. T here might be many higher names, but there was no name more honourable than the name of that Gentleman. Lord ROLLE lid. He did not mean to say anything dlsnmpectful atlas Gendeoson, with whom he was living on teems of intimacy; but still bs Ad not approve of his conduct with re spect to this Petition. The Earle LIMERICK subinkted to the House whether the elainvatioos of the Mobile Lord were not an attack on that Geode sennl He (Lord Limerick) was glad chat be happened to be in do Mime to do him justice.. Lad soLLE again observed, that be did not mean to hurt the lealingsof the Geatleman to whom he referred. Earl DARNLEY said, that in the name of the country to which the Hon. Gentleman belonged, he must protest against the argument that he meant to create division and distention, by endeavouring to in duce the people to express their sentiments oa a most important subject. He did not deserve to be branded for such an act, as be did not think he was endeaarouring to subvert the Constitution by so doing, and be certainly was not. In his sentiments be agreed with a 'real portion of the people of England, with nine-tenths of the people of Ireland, with one-half of the Pro testants of that cannier, and with a majority of the other House of Parliament. The Bishop of EXETER said, that he believed, at all events the' Noble Lord (Rolk) bad said no more than bad been frequently said of the Clergy by the Noble Lords opposite. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the Roble Leeds opposite might thank themselves U Petitions against the Catholics covered , the table of the House. Lord HOLLAND observed, that at all events, the feeling of the people could not be a very strong one, if they waited to have it forced from them.—The Padden was then laid upon the table. The itarl of LIVERPOOL presented a Petition from the. Mi nister, Churchwatdent; slid initabitaiste of Stoke, in the county of Warwick, against the claims tif the Catholics; and a similar Pe tition from the Trades House of Glasgow. The Bishop of LITCHFIELD presented several Petitions to the same effect, and amongst the rest one from the Archdeacon and the Clergy of the Archdeacoury of Salop. The-Petitioners played that there ,should be no alteration In the laws respecting the Catholics, and be concurred in their prayer, except with regard to these changes which would do away the ineqwlities between the Roman Catholics of England and those of Ireland.—Laid on the table. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented similar Petitions front a parish in the County of Chester, and from the wan and borough of Chippenham, in the County of Wilts, against the Catholic Claim—LAl on the table. The. Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that the Pets. ion which he had just ptesented was signed by several tin usand persons ; he now held use signed by one indi vitluAi alnle, a Mr. Jordan. who had thought proper to offet his sentiments on the Catholic Question to their Lordships. As.it would take at least half an honr to read it, he should only move that it he laid on the table, and then, if any Noble Peer wished to know Mr. Jotdan's opinions, he Eden read them when he pleated. Ile ought to mention, in justice to Alit indinidnal, that his sentiments-were-in favour of the Catkolics.—Lild on the table. - CORN LAWS. The Berl oUESHRX presented a Petition from illeaShorotgh, • against any allneation in the Coen Laws. The Earl of DERBY presented Petitions from the Manistee tirers of Liverpool, Matlock, and Preston, in favour of an altera tion in the Corn Laws.—Laid on the table. The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented a Petition from the town of Devonport to the same effect.—.aid on the table. Lord KING held a similar Petition from the townof. Catap. ton, in the county of Devon, signed by 800 persons. He toped that these Petitions would indace a Noble Lord opposite to revise his opinions; and not to wish to condemn the population of the country to pay a tat partaking of the odious nature of the Poll Tea, for a whole yeas, when he knew that at the end of the year the system. was to be altered. The Noble Lord then made several calculations, - to chew that by leaving the price of Corn as high as it was nowt every individual was in fact subjected to an additional tax o 3/. as. a year. Lord ItOLLE said, that he had expressed no opinion against the propriety of a change In the Corn Laws, bat merely that the present was not the time to undertake such a change. The EArl of LAUDERDALE asked the Nbble Lord behind him, where he bad heard any complaints of the price of corn? In the Speech with which the Session had been opened, his Blajeaty had announced that prosperity prevailed in all branches : the Noble Lord was present at the time ; did he say that he had heard any complaint from the poor of this country? Lord KING had been asked where he hea►d any complaints of the price of corn? he heard them from the Petitions on the table. He heard them from the Pe• • - - titions of the merchants of London, of Liverpool, and of most other manufacturing towns. The Noble Lord also asked why he had not stated this at the beginning of the Session ? because it was since that time thaflhe price of corn had increased, and in creased to such an extent that it was apprehended the OM must be opened. Whenever the question came to be settled, he hoped and trusted that there would be rio Committee on the subject. It would be only a sort of theatre where all sorts of spectres *Mild be raised to frighten the nervous. If the Government seriously' meant to make a change, let them do it without a Committee.— If they bad one, it would only create endless delay, and defeat the measure. The Earl of,LAUDERDALE denied that the Pe titions presented to their Lordships and the other Hothe, • came floor the'keople.. Until notice of a motion o n th e subject had been given by a Until. of Parliament is another place, the question had not. been raised. It was from Par liament, therefore, that the impulse was taken. And who were the Petitioners? Not the consumers, -who Buffeted from the price of the commtidity, but sets of Gentlemen who wished fps an upper sanity of traMe, who did net ism what the consumers paid, bet aimed at making a large profit. Far from giving *ay to such Pe titions, he was glad that his Majesty's Government did not mead to act till the next Session. • The Earl of LIMERICK reminded their Lordships of the observations which be had made respecting the introduction of American Corn under the name of Ca nadian. He did net expect to find his apprehensions so soon confirmed; but on looking over some Returns this morning, be bad met with a communication from one of the British - Consuls in America, who stated that the price of Corn was low, but that as soon as it should be known that the measures in progress to admit Canadian Corn were passed, it would surely rise, as the Americans would then be able to send their Corn through Canida to England. He therefore thought that there was some danger, that esett with out the general opening of our ports, the market might be glutted with foreign Corn.—'le Petition was then laid on the table. The Ertl of LAUDERDALE presented Petitions from the. Owners and Occupiers of Land of Newbury, in the County of Berks, and of Brechin and Arbroath, in the county of Forfar.— Laid on the table. Several Petitions were then presented :—By Viscount Met.vtiti, from nine Parishes in the county of Kincardine.—By the Earl of Mennen, from the Owners and Occupiers of Land of the town of Fermoy, io the county of Cork.—By the Duke of NEWCASTLII, from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the towns of Bradford and Wallin", in the county of Nottingham, and their vicinities.—By Earl Gosvoan, from the Owners and Occupiers of fiend in the town of Beecks and its vicinity.—By the Earl of SINIAMSOURT, from the Owners and Occupiers of Land of Castle Gowrie, and from the.Freeholdera of the county of Kincardine ; and by Earl Boum, from the Freeholders and Magistrates of the county of Fee. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY then presented a Pe;ition from the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and Common Contuii pf the City of Loodon,praylog that their Lordships would take the Corn Laws into consideration.—Laid on the table. Lord AUCKLAND presented Petitions from the Parish of Leonard, Shoreditch; and from the Inhabitants of the Town of Frame, in the County of Somerset, in favour of the Equitable Loos Bill.—Laid on the table. Similar Petitions were then,presented .—By the Earl of De- NOUGHMOIII trout Limehouse; by the Earl of LUMLEY from 0111010; with, Woolwich and Deptford; by the Duke of Baal:roan from the manufacturers of Wootton-under-Edge.—These Petition were laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Gallery was crowded at an early hoar, on account of the la mest excited by the motions of Mr. Wanness ea she Corn Laws. At four o'clock the Swims took his seat. The Order of the Day for the ascend reading of the Strand and Severn Railws Bill was read.
