Proprietors of a Lunatic Asylum. His Lordship also presented a Petition against Catholic Emancipation. Sir A. Gesasv appeared to acquaint their Lordship s that the IroeSe of Commons had given leave to D. SARDLAT, Rm. one- of their Members, to attend as a witness on the second reading of the Patiryn Disfranchisement Bill—U he thought lit; Sir A. GRANT and others bmught up a Bill passed by the Com mons. for the repairing of the Harbour of Dover, in Kent. Several other Private Bills were brought up by Sir THOMAS Aela.cam, Mr. Lwrri.wrou, and others. Me.

The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a Petition from Manchester, complaining that the Bill now before their Lordships for transferring the elective franchise from the borough of Penryn to Manchester, did tot make regulations for preventing tumults, delay, and expense at elections, and praying that as the population of Manchester was so great as to render such regulations necessary, the Bill should not pass into a law. Lord SK ELMERSDA LE said, that the Petition was signed by some of the most respectable individuals its Manchester.. Lord CA RNA R VON moved that the witnesses to be examined on the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill should be obliged to produce certain papers. After a few words from Earl GREY, and his Lordship in re ply, the motion was agreed to. The Marquis of LA NS DO WN said be held in his band several Petitions from medical practitioners respecting the diffioulty they labour under in procuring anatomical subjects. As the Govern. ment had taken up the question. be should only say, that the path. tioners were entitled to praise fur their endeavour to qualify them selves to serve the public. He thought they were entitled to the attention of Government. Lord ROLLE suggested, that not only the bodles of murderers, but other criminals, might be given to the surgeons. The Marquis of LA NSDO W N said be should never consent to make the law, which gave the bodies of criminals for dissection, more extensive than it is. He thought persons might be induced to seU their bodies, a practice common in Italy. Lord ROLLE bserved, that be bad merely thrown out a sug gestion on the subject. Lord RODEN presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Cot . - potation, and Inhabitants of Dublin, praying their Lordships to put down the Roman Catholic Association. Several similar Petitions were presented from Armagh,. SUgo, and other parts of Ireland. e*s MGM on 1111:LANIN Earl DARNLEY said be believed he had a right to claim priority in bringing forward his motion; yet as great importance was attached to the subject which stood for discussion this day, he should give up his right of priority. He did nut allow any subject. to be of more importance than the state of Ireland, but he was un willing to have it clash with any other, therefore should move tip Order of the Day for taking into consideration the state of Ireland be discharged, and fixed for Thursday nest. The Earl of LIMERICK considered the subject of so much Importance, that he should feel it his duty to oppose dse motion of the blobk Earl if it applied to the introduction of Poor Laws in Itch:A.—The Order was discharged, and Bud for Thursday. TLST AND CORPORATION ACTS. The Earl of ELDON rose, on the Order of the Day bring reed for taking the Report on the Test and Cot p ration Acts into further consideration; but his Lord ship spoke so low that he was inaudible below the bar, and some of their Lordships called out " Speak out!" Noble Lard said he would speak out, as well as he could; but he had been called on so often to speak, that he hoped their Lordships would make some allowance for his damaged voice. Taking into his consideration that several amendments were introduced into the Bill, it was consistent with the usages of their Lordships 'louse that they should not adopt the preamble ; and it was consistent with their usages to propose that the preamble be left out. He should therefore, s itl out further remarks, propose that the words " and whereas the Protestant Episcopal Church of England and Ire land, and the doctrine, discipline, and government thereof, and the Pa otestant Presbyterian Church of Scot land, and the doctrine, discipline, and government thereof, ate by the laws of this realm severally esta blished permanently and inviolably," be left out of the Bill. He did so because, asheunderstood their bearings, they were insidiously drawn up. He did not say so as to those who bad introduced them into the Bill ; but they had been insidiously drawn up in that Bill from which they have been taken, and most incautiously in serted into this Bill. The Church had long remained secure; but their Lordships could not be certain that it would remain secure, if the law of the land were al tered; and that by this Bill it would be mate:ially altered, no man living could doubt. The Acts it was intended to repeal were, by the Act of Union, torsi dosed as Statutes that were to be enforced for the secu rity of the Church of England, as established by law. and for insuring that the Government and the Church should remain for ever united. He proposed to strike out all that part of the preamble before the words " vlves' it is just and fitting," in order that the words he proposed might be constituted. His object was ao put his Amendment on the Journals of the Hosse. Earl GREY said, the Noble and L. used Lord had given them the same assonance last night, that lie only intended to record his opinions on the Journal, yet be had afterwards taken the sense of the House, though many Noble Lords had gone away under the impressios that no division would take place. Ile would not argue the question, though he was prepared, if necessary, to state his reasons for giving it a direct negative. The motion had been sufficiently argued already, and settled by the decision of the House the previous night, when it was negatived. But be rose now to state, that in point of Grief it was not competent for the Noble and Learned Lord to make this proposition. The clause in which the omission was proposed had been already passed by the House. The Rawl of ELDON—No. Earl GREY said, if the Noble and Learned Lord world listen to him, he would prove that it had been agreed to. It was under discussion last night, when the N•ble and Learned Lord had moved the insertion of certain words, the value of which he (hall Grey) was still at a loss to discover. The motion was negatived, *ad their Lordships bad proceeded beyond the pseamble; and, if he recollected rightly; they had entered into the consi deration of some subsequent clauses,atwbich they had ad journed. There had been a discussion on the proposition to insert the words in the declaration " on the true faith of a Christian." The Noble and Learned Lord had moved the insertion of the words, "I am a Protestant." The discussion of this proposition was continued till SOllllll doubts and difficulties having arisen, their Lordships had adjourned, in order to give time for making inquiry. The House had now arrived at that stage when it was impossible the Noble and Learned Lord could make his proposition. Having this shown bow the case stood in point of order, and as to the state of the facts, be' would remark, that the Noble and Learawdloogd would labour under no disadvantase by being deprived of this opportunity, as be slight sull, on the third reading of, I the Bill, move that the clause bwamended as he wished, I or omitted altogether. lie trustier:l, therefore, the Noble: and:United Lord would not per seven. in violation of the forms of the Muse and the convenience of its proceeding!. • • The Earl of ELDON would think himself extremely blameable if what the Noble Earl had stated were cor rect. He denied that the House had ever come to that stage in which he had proposed to insert the words ".I am a Protestant." On the contrary, he did assert that) according to his understanding of what had passed, a motion was made for the postponement of the fur ther consideration of the Report before he could move. the inserti9n of those words in the Declara tion. The Noble Earl, too, had mistaken what he had stated as to his intention in moving these Amend. menu. He had not said he moved them only for the 1 purpose of putting them formally on the Journals; and when that charge had been brought against him last night, he understood, from the assent of those whom he had addressed, that he was entirely acquitted of it. He would be sorry to bring their Lordships' proceedings into confusion, and he would..take the liberty of saying, that there was no man more desirous than he was to conform to their Orders. •He would rather that this faulty, miserable, wretched Bill, should pass. without pny Amendment, than be guilty of a breach of the Orders of the House. But he maintained that he was not out of order, and that it was fully competent for him to make this motion ; and he was the more inclined to persist in making it, after the objections , that had been urged against it. He had only moved his Amendments •to the preamble last night, but he knew he had stated his intention to move the insertion of the other words in the Declaration. The Noble Earl, therefore, must have misunderstood him. He would withdraw his Amend ment, however, out of compliment to the Noble Earl, though he had not treated him with all the candour he had expected from him. Certainly, he would avail him self of the opportunity he should have on the third reading, when he would take the sense of the House upon his Amendments. Earl GREY disclaimed any intention of treating the Noble and Learned Lord with an improper want of candour. He would not dispute with the Noble and Learned Lord what Ins meaning was; but he had stated the impression on his mind as to the facts that had occurred last night, and he knew the same impression was made upon the minds of others. He must decline the compliment the Noble and Learned Lord was dis posed to pay him. He objected to the introduction of the words proposed, because the motion was contrary to the forms and usages of the House, and therefore a motion which it was not competent for the Noble and Learned Lord to make. Since he had first called their Lordships attention to this subject, he had referred to the Minutes, and he found this entry—" Moved in Committee to insert, after the words on the true faith of a Christian,' the words • I am a Protestant; which being objected to, it was moved to adjourn the further consideration of the Report till to-morrow." If this did not render it comple,ely clear that their Lordships last night had discussed this very point which the Noble and Learned Lord now wished to reserve, he did not know what could be clear. The Earl of ELDON—I do assure your Lordships, upon my honour, I never did move these words, " I am a Protestant." Ido not deny that the Noble Earl may find them in the minutes; bet I will take the liberty to say, that whoever placed them there, if he means to state •that that was my motion, has stated that which I never did make. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I beg leave to state, that according to my recollection, my Noble and Learned Friend did move the insertion of some winds in the pi e• amble. That motion was negatived ; and my Noble and Learned Friend stated afterwards, that he meant to move that some words, as then proposed, should be in serted in the declaration. My Noble and Learned Friend made a speech, stating the grounds on which he should support that motion. Bat as si , me doubt; arose in the course of the discussion, tl e qisestion was Wither ad journed. That, I believe, was use state of the facts. My Noble and Learned Friend did not absolutely move the inset tion of the words. Lord HOLLAND—I think, my Lord., there most have been a motion before the House. Tne Noble and Learned Lord who values so highly the forms of the House, would hardly have made a speech without making a motion—(Hear, hear). It is idle to suppose he would so waste your Lordships' time. We heard, my Lords, on the first day of the Session, that the Turks were a very good sort of people—that their mere word was as good as the signed and e rotten instruments of others. Their memory, we are told, is so good, and their honesty so great, that we may always oust them without any fear of being deceived. But we, my Lords, ate but frail mortals, and mere Christians. We are not such excellent men, nor quite so accurate in all our transactions ; and therefore it is part of the orders of this House, that what passes here should be written down and entered on the minutes that are kept 'of our proceedings—(cheers and laughter). The mo tion was made, there can be no doubt ; it must have been made. If I remember tightly, the Noble and Learned Lord made two speeches on that motion— (Hear, hear). Am Ito believe that he was only telling your Lordships what lie intended to do tomorrow, and giving all his re ,sons at length? The Noble and Learned Lord now calls on us to revert to what was decided last night, and discuss afresh what this House of Parliament has already settled. My Lords, lam a plain man, and no lawyer: _ _ But were I Brutus, And Brutus Antony," you would hear what dreadful evils would arise from overturning all the rules and proceedings of Pailia ment. You would hear, my Lords, that a revolutionary design existed to destroy all the rules and orders which have been handed down to us from our ancestors— ( Hear, bear ! and laughter). Yon would bear of the high respect in which tt:ey have always been held by the Legislature who passed arid preserved so many ex cellent Laws—(Cbeers). My Lords, if these proceed ings be allowed, it will be in the power of one man to prevent any Bill from passing. He will have nothing to do but, after moving all the Amendments possible as the clauses passed regularly, ro go back and bring the whole subject again under consideration. Thus might the whole time of your Lordships be consumed in discussing one single Bill. We must abide by the written document. The Noble and Learned Lord has, fortunately for himself—int, perhaps I should say nnforttmately for the House—another opportunity of moving this very question once more, according to the forms of the Howe. His present course is against all our rules, orders, and precedents—(Cheers). The Earl of ELDON—I shalt withdraw the motion ; but I feel it necessary again to assert, that there is not the slightest pretence for saying that I ever got to that part of the Declaration is which I intended to move that the wads “ I am a Protestant" should be inserted. Is arguing the preamble of the Bill, I did eater into' the consideration of the Amendment I intended to make in the Declaration, and indeed I could not make myself cleatly understood without doing so. After what the /Add*. Lord (Holland) has now slated, as to my afflectidu for the Rules and %dere, and after his observations. on Lawyers, I will only say, that diem is not that very great affection for them which he supposts in my heart on this occasion, though I readily agree to withdraw my motion. Ido observe, I should also say, that all politicians think it impossible that a lawyer can 'know any thing of political affairs; and I must say I 'never knew a politician who did not think himself an excellent lawyer. I am confident that my Noble Friend, if he will allow me to call him so, is not only a close student, but a great judge of the law, though I give up all pretensions- to. being a politician. I shall withdraw my motion, and'on the thiritreading, if no other person makes any motion to this effect, relative to the pre amble, or the declaration, T will myself move the inser tion of the words" I am a Protestant." The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to move, according to form, that the Order of the Day should be read. The Earl of ELDON—If I am again out of order, I shall feel obliged if my Noble Friend (Earl Grey) will tell me, We shall not disagree, I dare say, through any want of temper as to this question. I shall move that the word is Sweat" be substituted for the word " Declare." There may be found a great deal of solid objection both to swearing and declaring. There is, un fortunately, too little attention paid both to one and the other ; but this consideration would lead us beyond the question, for it would prove that we should use neither, when it is admitted that we must use cne. I remem ber that when I was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, a witness was asked why he had sworn falsely on an affidavit, and his reply was, that it was only sworn at the Custom House. By an Act passed in 1779, Dissenting Ministers were excused, on signing a certain Declaration, from serving in the Militia, as well as the Clergy of the Establi.hed Church. A friend of mine wanted a substitute to serve for him in the Militia, and was inquiring the price at which he could obtain one; somebody, however, told him that the cheapest mode would tie to avail himself of this Act of 1779, under which, on making the declaration, he would have to pay sixpence, and sixpence more for the certificate, by which he would be entirely exempted from serving in the militia. When he went to present the declaration, he was asked if he could write, as it appeared a man had that morning presented himself to make this decla-, ration, as a Dissenting Minister, who could not write his name. 1 think the Church of England has a right to expect as solemn a declaration as can be obtained; and I shall, therefore, now move the substitution of the word " swear" instead of « declare," in order that I may, at least, put my opinions on record in the Journals of .your Lordships' House. Earl GREY interposed upon the point of order. The amendment of the Noble and Learned Lord applying r.- a subsequent part of the Bill, had, as it appeared by the minutes of their proceedings, been already moved And debated. With that amendment they were there ote bound to proceed. The Earl of ELDON said, that an error hid crept into their Journal, but he would not say more upon that subject. He would at once proceed to his Amendment upon the Declaration. He proposed to include the words, " lam a Protestant." These words, he main tained, were a necessary substitute to the Cot poration and Test Acts. He declared that if he thought the insertion of these words would injure the Roman Catholics he would not have proposed them; but be believed that if they were not added, the Roman Catholics would receive great benefit from the Bill. His with was, that if the Bill passed, it should have no effect whatever upon the cause of the Catholics, either for or against them. He begged the Noble Lords who were mast strenuous in support of the Catholic Claims, to recollect, upon all futute occasions, the views and motives with which he proposed the amendment. It was from the persuasion that without it the Bill would greatly promote the object of the Ca tholics. The object he had in view related solely to Corporations. The Corporation Act, as it now stool, required that the Mayor, the Aldermen, and other cet - palate officers, should have taken the Sacrament accord ing to the forms of the Church of England within one year before their admission. There was not one ward about their taking it afterwards. The Test Act, on the contrary, required that persons accepting office should take the Sacrament within three months, which, by a subsequent Act, was extended to six months after wards. The oaths which were also required were in cluded in the Corporation Act ; but, if this Act was re jected, there was no subsequent Act which required them to take the Declaration against Ti ansubstantiation. It any one said there was such an Act, he should be exceedingly glad to learn by what Act of Parliament it was that a corporate officer, as such, was required to take the declaration against Transubstantiation. He said, that a Mayor, as Mayor, an Alderman asAlderman, or a Bailiff as Bailiff, was not so required, unless either by the Charter of the Corporation, or by being included in the Commission of the Crown, they were also Justices of the Peace. The consequence of this was, that Catholics might be admitted by the declaration in its present shape. This was the effect of the Bill. They took away the test. The declaration against Transubstantiation did not apply, and there remained therefore no impedi ment whatever to the admission of Catholics. if they were to pass this Act in the idea that it did not affect the Catholic Question, that it did not promote the claims of the Catholics, they would fall into a very great error. • The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that after the able speech of his Noble and Learned Friend, he must state, as shortly and distinctly as possible, his opinion upon the present question. He was glad that the ad journment had taken place; for the observations of his .Noble and Learned Friend had in the first instance created doubt in his mind whether it might not be ex pedient toadopt his Amendment ? but subsequent and more mature consideration had convinced him that there WAS nothing , of solidity in those doubts. If he thought that this Bill could in any manner affect the Catholic Question, be should most readily concur in the Amend ment ; but being convinced, as he 'was, that no such consequence could arise from it, he felt it his duty to resist an alteration of the Bill, which could only be a source of needless and useless irritation.—(Hear, hear). He would prove that the laws already afforded every necessary protection to the Established Church. In the first. place, every governing member of a corporation was bound to have taken the Test within one year of his admission to office, and when this security was removed, there remained the oath of supremacy, which he was bound to take before he entered upon his office. Laying aside all vague suspicions and surmises, he would ask it this oath wag not binding upon Roman Catholics? Hr ventured to say, that if Noble Lords inquired, they would find that the Roman Catholics universally hel,. it to be so. This was sufficient, and here he might rest his case. Bet he would not rest it here; for as he dif fered entirely in opinion with his Noble and Learned Friend, and as he telt he was contending against a real 'superiority of learning, experience, and talent, he must adduce still further arguments in support of his opi. nion. The Noble and Learned Lord had inquired by what Act corporatnrs, as such, we - F• car•d ro take the declaration againq Transu , -tan Car He would answer him—by the Test Act. By th r: Act, a person accepting office, civ I or roilit.o % , was required to have taken the Sacramental He had at first thought that the obligation was confirmd to persons taking offices under the Crown ; but. in re,, (erring to the Act, he found that the weds *ere nor, t general and comprehensive. But if he had entertained any doubt on reading the enacting part of the Act. th,rt doubt would have been removed when he found in subsequent part of the Act, excepting a great many at the interior officers, both under the Crown and under Corporations, from this test. So that it was plate the intention of the enacting part of the statute was to apply equally to all persons holding office. But fur ther than this, filling the situation he did, and knowing that where there was a doubt as to the law, ancient and uniform practice might assist in resolving it, he applied to the Recorder of London, who informed him that in this the first Corporation of the kingdom, thsf declaration against Transubstantiation was always take* not only by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, but by the members of the Court of Common Council. He thought after this, no doubt could remain either as to what the law really was, or as to what it was generally suppo4 to be. He would repeat, then, that they had the seta. city, first, of the oath of supremacy; next of the decla. ration against Transubstantiation, and these, he w it convinced, were a sufficient pro.ection againrt sion of Catholics into our Corporations. He bad enter. rained the hope, that after the Learned Prelates of the Church, with a magnanimity and liberality which did them so much honour, had given their approbation to this measure, it would have experienced no resistance from any quarter ; that they would have been enabled Ito send the Bill forth to the world as a measure coleus kited to give satisfaction to all; and he deeply lamented 'that his Noble and Lamed Friend should have pursued a course which he could not but consider, notwith 'standing the high respect he felt for him, as. most "chievous—(Hear.) • The Bishop of LICHFIELD said, that the opinion 'had been entertained by high authorities in the Catholic Church, that the oath of supremacy might be safely taken by its members; and with respect to the declaras lion against Transubstantiation, which was undoubtedly sufficient to exclude Catholics, as there appeared to be some doubt whether it was legally required of coo , porators as such, he did not think - it would be dis. creet wholly to depend upon it as a security. In some of the greater Corporations the practice of taking it prevailed, but this pracice he knew was not universal; and when it was recollected that Corporations had the presentation to many benefices in the Church, were' the trustees of marry charitable endowments, and bad the controul and guardianship of numetoos public schools, the greatest caution with respect to the admis sion of their members would seem to be necessary. Hr was the more disposed to vote in favour of this meta menr, as it was not pre:ended that the Catto.lics cool feel it to be any injury to them, and as there mete 1 class of Protestants to whom it could be in any deo. objectionable. He believed the Bill would be more satisfactory to the Church and the country in conse quence of this amendment, if it should be successful. He had assented to the principle of the Bill; because he had the greatest coofideace in the moderation of the Dissenters; but he had always It oked forward to its receiving amendments in its progress. The Earl of CARLISLE denied that the Petitions presented from the Dissenters contained sentiments hostile to the Church Establishment. The Earl of GUILFORD declared his intention to oppose the Bill, which be thought inimical to the Church, and to the Constitution. He held this feeling in common with many of the most respectable arid learned persons in the Church. When he considered the alternative of the occa,ional profanation of 3 holy tit-, 'the crime resting upon those who pr ofane it, or that the Church, the depository of that holy rite, s hould be trampled under toot by infidelity, he dectsiedly pre ferred the former. The Eatl of RODEN would trespass for a few minutes upon their Lordships' time, to state his grounds of ollection to the Bill as it now stood. It appeared :o him to contain protection to the endowments and tem• poi alines of the Church, but no protection whatever to 'religion. He lamented that the clause proposed by his 'Noble Friend, recognising the Christian religion, had been rejected. He believed that the measure would not meet with the approbation of the Christian people of England. So far from promoting religious peace. the Bill was calculated to excite alarm in the minds of Protestants, both of the Church of England and Dii• :enters. But if even this peace were obtained, it would in his opinion be purchased dearly. The Bishop of LINCOLN—The Noble Lord (Rodeo) bad said, or intended to say, that the Reverend Bench, in assenting to the declaration, had shown greater re gard for temporal benefits than for the spiritual wel fare of the Church. Now, if the objector the Bill had been to expunge from the Liturgy any fundamental doctrine of the Church, and if he (the Bishop of Lin' coin) and his Reverend Brethren had shrunk from sop porting an amendment of it, the Noble Lord would have some ground for asserting that they were negli• gent of the spiritual interests of the Church. But what was the question before the House? The Bill for the Repeal of two Acts of Parliament, which exclude the Dissenters from offices in the State. Now, what cos. nection was there between the object of that Bill and the spiritualities of the Church ?—(Cheering). The as jsertion of the Noble Earl could only have arisen front confounding the two characters of the Church, namellr the poliical and spiritual. But, in its spiritual charac ter, the Church could not be affected by any Act of the Legislature; it may be separated from the State; its benefices may be transferred to the Clergy of another persuasion. The Church, in its spiritual character, would still continue to exist as a religious community— would survive as the primitive Church of Christianity did in its decent forms, in its simple rites, and in the spiritual purity and sublimity of its doctrisies.—(Loud cheering tram all sides.) The Bishop of CHESTER—The Noble Earl (Roden) comidered these Acts a religious security. Heil he BiAtop of Chester) would contend they wet e a political security, and had nothing whatever to do in to:tint:4oin.; use religious part of the Church. It the Bill contaii.ed provisions only relative to the tempo' alities of the Church, the reason was that no new measure was considered necessary for the protection of the spieitualities of the Church. The only thing the Church required of the Legislature for the maintenance of its spiritual character, was subsistence for its clergy; and that having been abundantly supplied by former Acts of Parliament, A further measure on the subject was quite unnecessary. the purely .spiritual pa, t ot the Church requited no •utibet'aidloom human institutions—it would standby aSeif.
