I: 1 1 ' I tie knew that the Dean and• Chapter of 11 iii,hester had spent many thousands a-year in the repair sot their Ca- thedral. He could not take upon himself to distinguish between the two cases, where a cathedral was not a pa rish church and «'t ere it was; but he conceived that they were substantially- the same as far as regarded the repairs of it. Ile should certainly oppose the Bill. Mr.LYI - 11.li . fON said that he should certainly sup port the :1111Clikiment. • Ile was sure: ise,!, on examining the hill, that there semili be a special clause exonerating i.e bean and Chapter from tepairing'the Catfiedrai, and that only one pariah (that ef -Temelemore) was taw .1 to ply i ce:q;iin ',tb of money for that purpose. He kiW:li it to the See oftitchfield, which had been termed to 17 the Honourable Baronet proposing the present inoien, to say that it was no precedent what. ever. 'foe late I;ishop of . Li:chficld (Lord Cornwallis) had contributed very large sums of money from his pri• vate 1 roperty towards tire repairs of the cathedral. The Dean and Ciereter had hkewise expended immense scams ia furtherance of the same object. Indeed he was per -aaded there was not a body in England that had con. ti - ilstned more ia:Reiy in repairing Cathedrals than the Dean and Chanel., I Lit Alien.l. Sra J. s . - :EWPOR . ' thou: ht the House s hould be ex. tremely cauti st us-.,i a 'granting repairs for Cathedrals, especi illy wherellsia:ge a po: tion of the inhabitants ~\ ere of a citferent teliei..us persuasion from those to whom the measure would he serviceable in their reli gious duties. It was a monstrous thing, with a Dean and Chapter so rich as that of Derry, that they should he compelled to apply to the Presbyte:ian body for the loan of their places . worship—( Hear). Ile considered it was degrading the Church in the eyes of the people to come to Parliament to ask for money to repair the places of worship. Mr. DAWSON said the Cathedral of Derry was too laree for the parish church, the inhabitants being about 7000 or 8000, but it was not too large for a Cathedral. A letter had been referred to written by him to the Nl:tyor of Der ry, ceatveying his scrtiments. He thought it was not Trite fair to give that letter to the public, but he was still erepaied to sonata the sentiments thus conveve'. He did not hesita.e declaring, that when the Dean and Chapter asked for money towards repair ' ing the Cathedral, they ought to do oinething towards p.ayine- ald keeping it in repair—(Hear). He hoped that the sentiments %silk!) had fallen 7rom Honourable Members on this question would go forth to the public ; the Dean and Chapter of Derry woald then have an opportunity of conside:ing in what light' they stood. He thet,•,ht at t a re same time that it was incumbent on the H•nts.e to do scone:Ling towards affording the in habitants of lhery an opportunity of attending a., placl• of worship. . Mr. PLUNKLTT concurred in the sentiments which h KI fallen horn several of the Honourable Gentlemen who were averse to the measure before the House, but he comiJered it common jostice to say a word or two respecti.g :he Bishop who presided over the Ste of Decry. There was not an individual in Ireland, nor he would add in England, who was More anxious for the welfare of society, who was a greater promoter of wor ks of art, or who was more liberal of his private fortune, than that Right Reverend Prelate. Something had transpired respecting the Economy Funds. Cer tainly they ought to be restored where they had disap peared. To what th e i r di sa pp earance was to be attvi hilted be did mot know; but he was sire that it behpved the Clergy of the Establishment, and more especially at the present time, to entrench themselves in the public esteem, and rest themselves on public opinion, by the purity of their conduct. Sir G. HILL signified that he would accede to the recommendation pointed nut by the Right Honourable Gentleman the Attorney-General for Ireland. Mr. HUME lamented that the rmeion which he * had proposed a few evenings ago had not been carried. It would then have appeared, if any abuse existed, to whom it was attributable. It had been stated that some of the fnds, caked economy funds, had disappeared, and that this was not a solitary instance. tilid•the in quiry which he sought for been granted, it Would have been known what had become of those funds.

SMITH, said he should only trouble' the Home a few moments, understanding that the second reading of the Bill wa.i given up. lie was anxious that it might he ascertaiued by whom the. Cathedral of Derry had been suffeied to go to ruin. It it was the fault of the Irish Society, he should be desirous of seeing them repair it; but if it was attributable to the Dean and Chapter, he hoi.ed they would be compelled to do so. The motion was then withdrawn. IVANC;IESTER EQUITABLE LOAN HILT..-CIIMITERED COMPANIFS. Lord STANLEY moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Manchester Equitable Loan Bill. Mr. HUSKISSON thought it right to state, that he shoull not vote for Bills of the above description. This was the first opportunity that he had had since he first called the attention of the House to the subject, of stating what his determination was with respect to Bills which ca!led for the enrolment of Companies. Except in cases where Bills were introduced for the formation of Canals, or Bills of that description, lie 'hould un equivocally oppo,e them, if they called upon Parliament to incolporate B..dics, unless the parties had pre vinuily obtained the consent of the Crown to have a ch.': ter.

HILL, in moving the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Derry Cathedral Bill, un folded the objects of the Bill, which he described to be twofold. He then entered into a detail of these ob jects. There were two precedents, he said, to justify the measure ; one referred to Ireland, and the other to England. He said that the Cathedral of Derry was in a state of dilapidation, and that the inhabitants could not use it as a place of worship. The Bishop of Derry had subscribed 8501. towards the repairs of the Cathe dral, and so anxious were the people to have a placeof worship, that they had subscribed a sum of money for that purpose. He then moved that the Bill should be read a second time. Dr. LUSIIINGTON said that the cases stated by the Hon. Baronet as precedents did not at all apply to .the present measure. It was manifest, that from the time of the foundation of the Cathedral there mu,t be some body of persons liable to repair it when necessary. llr complained that the preamble of the Bill wa; not stafi ciently explicit, and he was satisfied that there was no precedent to call upon the i7eople to repair a Cathedral. The objects of the Bill were neither more rimless than calling upon the Home of Commons to lay a tax upon the country, which was to last for ever. Let us look at the conduct of the Dean a:id Chapter of Derry, ob served the Hun. and Learned Gentleman: they have suffered the service of the Church to be performed in a P. esbyter ian meeting-house—Weary—lie should move as an amendment, that the second tca,fing of the Bill shtild be postponed to that day six months. _ _ _ . Mr. Alderman WOOD said he held in his'hand a re solution made by the Mayor and Corporation of Derry, which accused the Irish Society of taking money not proi.erly bc:onging :o them. They go on to accuse them of spending' 10,0001. a-year in eating and drink ing. The fact was, that the lands belonging to the So ciety had been let in perpetuity for 2,300/. a-year, whereas that •ery property would be worth 20,000 L per annum. He did unt like to Teak harshly of Aldermen who were no more, but a story was in circulation that one of them had received an Irish bribe ; and on his re turn home from Ireland on one occasion, he found his house full of Irish linens. Ms, to be sure, was a very small bribe compared with the benefit conferred. There were some fisher ies belonging to the Company for w hide only 1,2001. a-year was given, ani for which be knew an individual who would give 6,0001. a•year. The S.>. ciety had built a school and endowed i-t, and they had also endowed a Rectory. He considered the charge made by the Corporation of Derry an extraordinary one. On the SPEAKER putting the original Motion and .Amendment, Mr. S. BOURNE considered that the church in ques tion had been suffered to go into a state of dilapidation by the parties who ought to have kept it in' complete repair —(1 :ear). He recollected part of the Cathedral of Hereford falling down, but the Dean and Chapter did not come to the House to ask for a vote to repair it.
