A Petition against any further concessions to ths Catholics was presented from the town of Belfast; on which Lord BELFAST' row and spoke to the following abet: " In rising to address the House, I have to assure them I do so with the `greatest reluctance, and shall trespass an their time but a very few minutes; but, after the observat isms that fell from my Hun. Friend, the alteaber for Armagh, yesterday s in presenting a Petition from the town of Belfast, I think I should be neglecting t h is duty I owe to the place . ] have the honour to represent, to this House, and to myself, were I to allow thrift statements to pass unanswered. Had I been aware of the inteudin nay Honourable Friend, I should from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Peterborough, and from another plate, by Mr. Cartwright ; from Aibrighton, in the county of Salop, by Mr. Bickford; from the town of Wras• ham, and from the borough of Holt, by Sir W. W.Wynn ; from Carmarthen and another place, by Lord W.

Lethbridge. Petitions were presented in ravine of Catholic Emancipation from the county of Monaghan, and several parishes in the same, by Mr. J. Gnarran; and from ten places in different parts of Ireland, by Mr. H. Gaarran • from Sidmouth, by Lord Kaanorrou ; from a great number of d istinguished Catholic and Protestant Peers and landed Proprietors, many of them being residents in Ireland, and' possessing property in that country to the amount of above a million per annum, by Mr. S. ROCK. . Mr. WODEHOU SE presented a Petition from a Gentleman, being a Roman Catholic, complaining of having to pay a double land tax. _ Mr. LITTLETON expressed his hope that something would be done during the present Session to remove this injustice from the Roman Catholic subjects of the realm. . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be would undertake to remedy this evil during the present Session. He was aware that there would be difficulties of detail, but where there was a will there was a way--(Cheers). After a few words from Lord Mwrou, the A 1.1.010117 G Mr. Automats's', Mr. N. Ca , and Mr. WODRIIOO/1, the Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. Alderman TIRODLTRON, supported by Mr. WARD, presented a Petition from Sion College, against any further concessions to the Catholics. Mr. A. DAWSON presented three Petitions from parishes in the county of Coat, in favour of Basiusdpation. Mr H. PIerARNELL presented a similar Petition from a parish In Queers lord • }lmmo presented a Petition in favour of Catholic Rmantipatioa. from a place In the county of Cation. Mr. BROUGHAM presedted similar Petitions from the pro- 1 visite of Connaught , the county of Mayo, the county of Dublin, the county of Meath, and three ether places. Mr. Secretary PRRL presented Petitions against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics from the Clergy, Borouglueeve, and Inhabitants of Bolton ; from the Protestant Dissenters of Leicester; from the Stafordabire Potteries; from the Inhabitants of Mickley in Kent; from Malden; from the Bishop and Clergy et the Diocese of Ferns; from Clare; and from three other places. ADJOUENED DEBATE ON THE CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved the Order of the Day respecting the Adjourned Debate on the Catholicelaims. The motion having been carried, Sir JOHN NEWPORT declared that it was his film belief that no other measure than Catholic Emanci pation would give peace and happiness to Ireland. He would not attempt to argue with any Honourable Gen: tleman,who, like the Honourable Member for Clitheroe, could undervalue the connection between the two coun tries, England and Ireland ; but when the Hon. Mem ber for Dublin (Mr. Moore), denied that Ireland was in the wretched state she was repreiented to be, he would not ask that Hon. Gentleman to take a leaf out of his (Sir INewport's) book, but he would refer him to the statement of the Honourable Member fur Derry (Mr.g. Dawson). That Honourable Gentleman had pro- posed, or at least so plainly hinted at it, that his meaning could not be misunderstood, that violence and force instead of concession should be had recourse to, to calm, the irritation and to remedy the misery and dissension existing in Ireland. it was evident that some decisive measure must be adopted. Ireland could not exist in the state she then was, and if the opponents of Emanci pation had no other alternative to offer than a recur rence to those desolating measures, which in former times had weakened England, and rendered Ireland a scene of anarchy and dire confusion, he would ask that House if it was ready to adopt the doctrine of the ex clusionists, and if it were, by what reasoning it could justify such an appeal to violence ? Again, he would ask, if the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Derry was rejected, and those agreeing with that Hon. Gen tleman, had another plan to offer, would it not become the duty of that House to entertain with favour the re solution then before them, and to adopt the system of conciliation, which would give peace, content, and hap piness, to a distracted country ?—(dear, hear.) If the opponents had any other plan to propose, he had a right to demand a full developement of it, but he would conjure them to reflect before they again hinted at setting fire to the train and blowing all to the devil together."— The momentous question then be. fore the House had often been discussed, and as often as it had been rejected an often had the condition of Ireland assumed a more dangerous and alarming appearance. He confessed that he.anticipated nothing but unmixed evil unless emancipation were granted, And he earnestly conjured the House to reflect well and deeply before it sanctioned adverse measures.— The violence of the Roman Catholic Association had been loudly complained of, but that violence and that Association were the natural consequences to the preseut unjust, ungenerous system. An oppres sed people would find some way of L iving vent to their t clings, and of expressing the wrong, they suf. 'feted ; .n.. 1 he made that remark, not in vindication' of use proceedings of the Catholic Association, but to re- mind the House how fallacioug all the assurances had proved..which had been given when a Bill was intro duced for the suppression of Catholic Association,. When a Bill to which he had allude 4 was inttoduced; the House was assured that that measure would stifle all such associations, and. yet after a,. short interval.of time, the inefficiency of that very .1411 was complained of, and the Catholic Associ:tion again existed in fall violence. The same result would attend the pursuing of the system suggested by the Hon. Member for Derry—(Hear, hear).—The Legislature had not wavier to overwhelm and choke public opinion, nor was it desirable that it should have any such power in a fad: country. For his own part he had arrived at that pe riod of life. when he could hope for a decision of the question favourable to the Catholics, only because he from his heart believed that it would give tranquillity to Ireland. Mr. HART DAVIS said, that there was on- point in the statement made by the Right Hon. Gentleman lebteh he wished to correct. When the lilt for the sap.: pression of the Roman Catholic Associat on was intro duced, no assurance was given to the House that it would effectually do away with such Associations; .01' the contrary, it was intimited that it was buttoo probable some further measures wonld be required—(Heasslairer). He objected to the course pursued by the Hone Baronet (Sir F. Burdett), in bringing forward the questitn. The plan of proposing a resolution might be adopted to ' catch a stray vote; but .why walnut a Bill brougbt tot ward so that the House might understan hat cone ti sions the Catholics as an:en 7—He did not. understand what he was called upon to grant, and he trusted that the House would not give its countenance to such a proposition. The question had been continually cussed in that House for the last twenty years, and he found that every fresh concession served o ly as a step ping-stone to new demands. He remembered the time when it was positively 'and publicly stated by an au thorised deputation, that if once the Navy and Army ware thrown opento the Catholics they would be satis fied. Those Pr ofessinns had however been thrown open, and a number of other privileges had been gra .ted to them, and not only were they not yet satisfied, but they seemed to demand, violently demand, everything. He was one of those who thought some bouniary necessary, and therefore he could never consent to so vague and indefinite a resolutiolas that before the House; but if the friends of concession would bring forward a Bill, stating fully what was required, the question would be fairly argued. He had most seriously reflected on the subject, and he felt it to be his duty to give the most de cided negative to the resolution proposed, and in doing so to state to the House, that a large portion of .the nu merous body of constituents he had the honour to re ' present fully concurred with him in opinion—(Hear.) Lord ELLIOTT trested that he should meet with the indulgence of the House, as that was the first time he had 'ever intruded himself on its ettention--(Hear). During the lest Pairliadient he had given his vote against grant ing any further concessions to the Catholics; but an the interval which had elapsed since the question was last brought forward, he bad seriously devoted his best at minion to the subject, and the consequence was that his opinion was changed—(Loud cheers from the Oppo sition). He firmly believed that the tranquillity of Ire land depended upon the measure being adopted,•and therefore the sooner it was carried the better. Whatever dangers might attend the gra sing of the Ronaan Catholic Claims, the evils which must result from their not being granted, would be much greater. He was not sanguine though to expect that the amicable ad justment of even this great question would give Leland perfect peace; out he was convinced; that it would not only prevent her condition from becoming worse, but actually produce a most favourable alteration. Among other benefits it would enable every one to distinguish between those who were demagokies and those who were real lovers of their country. That the Priests might have exercised an improper power he did not deny ; but he should vote in favour of the Resolution, because it would prevent a recurrence of such an inter ference—(Hear, hear!) He could not but take that lopportunity of declaring the regret he felt at hawing voted for the exclusion of the Roman Catholic Peers from Parliament, and most happy should he be to see that noble and illustrious Body restored to those privi leges of which they had been so long deprived. He again apologized to the House for intruding on its time, but he felt it to be his duty not to content himself with a silent vote, but to declare openly the change which had taken place in his opinions.—(Heir !) The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that bet: re en ticing upon the question before the Hon e, he c ould not but express his admiration of the noble, pi en, and ingenious course pursued by the Noble Lord who had just addressed it—(Hear, hear). It was the duly of every Memb rof that Hona to state: his opinions with frankness upon this most important question, and he trusted that, as the representative of a distinguished and numerous body of constituents, be :slight be permitted to state the conclusions he had arrived at, and the con siderations which had induced those conclusions.— (Hear). The question had been so often discussed, that he did not venture to hope he should add any novelty to what had already been advanced. A great crisis was then before the HOuse—(Loud cheers).
