Lord KING presented a similar Petition from several Aletnbers of the Church of F.ngland, and Protestant Dissenters of the parish of Columpton, in the County of Devon. The Noble Lord itad great pleasure in stating that this Petition had the signatures of more than one Clergyman of the Church of England. The Petition was ordered to lie upon the table. Lord KING had a Petition to present front the Inhabitants of the Parishes of Cools and Sr. James—not St. James, West ittinster, but Weiford, praying for Catholic Emancipation.a— This Petition complained of the disabilities affecting the Roman Catholics of Ireland as a violation of the Treaty of Limerick, and In his opinion most justly; for .if ever there was a plain simple Treaty it was this, and if there was any point of history well esta blished, it was that the enactment of the Penal Laws was in di reit violation of its provisions. An llonourable Gentleman in the House of Commons had given notice of a motion for that Treaty to be laid before the House, and he rather thought he should, on a future day submit a similar motion to their Lord ships. Nothing could be more contrary to reason and justie: than penalties on account of religion, and he hoped that the Protestant Dissenters and Roman Catholics would soon be con victed the necessity of a union between them, in order to obtain a general repeal of all such penalties and disqualthcations. Should this take place, some of their Lordships would be compelled to sing ist soother key. The Petition bad a great number of signatures, arid be should move that it be read at length. The Petition was then read and laid ota.the table. CORN LAWS. - - of the The Ilarquis of CLEV/F.LAND;ished, before they proceeded to the Order of the Day, to put a question to the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's . Government. He had beard with great satisfaction the declaration of the Noble Duke, that it was the in-' tendon of Government to bring forward a meagre, not precisely similar, indeed, but agreeing in principle with the Corn Hill of last Seeds°. Now the question he bad to propose to the Noble Duke, and be did not ask it from.any motive of idle curiosity, was— Whether the intended measure was to be brought forward before the Easter Feet!' ? The Duke of WELLINGTON was unJble precisely to fix the Ltiod wbeo the Bill would be brought in. the Right Honour wide Gentleman (Mr. Charles Grant) whose peculiar province it was to propose that measure in the House of Cumn.ons, was not sow a Member of that House: AURAL POPULATION. lard TWYNHA.AI gave notice, that on Monday, 'Alarch 5, be should mote for the appointment of &Select Committee to inquire into the condition of the Labo bbb Husbandry in England and Wales, info the causes which bad . led to the increase of crime among that portion of the population, and the most rfeetuai reme dies. He should now snore that their Lordships be summoned for that day.—Ordeced. • SALE OF GAME. The Marquis of SALISBURY said, that this Bill, of which he was about to move the second reading, was precisely the same as that he had brought in last year; and be should not, after the discussion which then lock place, have thought it necessary to trouble their Lord ships with any observations upon the subject at pre lim', had sot Pis Noble Friend announced his intention to resist the further piogress of this Rill until after the appointment of a Committee, for which he meant:to move. It had become necessary, however, in come quence of this resolution of the Noble Baron, lot him boldly to state the reasons why he objected to a Corn. critter. He had himseif oved for the appointment of a Committee some year, ago. and with some d.fficul -11 obtained it. In that Committee he had completely established the fact that the market for game was abun dantly suppled. It _Was fully proved that the su pply was sometimes so exceasive, that great quantities of game were thrown away, because it would not fetch a remunerating price; and therefore unless somebody was prepared to say that an alteration had since taco place in this respect. that the mai ket was not now suf hcoently supplied, he mast contend, that it was pale:3 h unnecessary to go into the Committee. He had an" ^ther objection, which was, that it they appointed a t"itnittes to ambtacc the %bole subject of the Wok Laws, and the Committee proceeded, as it Must do, to collect evidence from all parts of the country, it would be utterly Impossible to bring in any 1311 this Session. Considering. the state of the country, it was imperative upon their Lordships to do something, and all parties agreed that the measure he now proposed must be one part of whatever was to be done. It was advisable then to make an experiment, which could have no bad result, for the markets could not be better supplied than they were now, and from which good might be expected, in as much as respectable traJesmen would prefer get ting the Game they required from a regular and authci rised source to dealing with poachers. He had no d rubt that the Bill would produce benefit to the Agricultural classes, and he called upon their Lordships to try it at least as a temporary measure. . Lord WH A R NC Ll ITE was opposed to the principle Of the measure, which he contended would not advance but retard any general improvernetit. and would in the meantime produce the worst effects it adopted, leaving all Other pa:ts of the Game Laws as they now stood f-Ic 1; far six years attended to thii subject witkrut success. F. r ib.ee years in the House of Commons. wh ch was at length prevailed on to pass aIS lf. Tass• Bill tacit Lordships rejected. He did not hope &ler having been sn lang unsuccessful elsewhere to ace stn . plish any thing in this, the first Session in which he had the honour of aseit is their Lordships' House. But he _ entreated them not to pass a measure re l at i ng to a su b jest of so much imam tence which would have the eller. t of rendering any 'f, crier AI measure more difficul . . The ! were askew to make game saleable in the hands of cer lain persons, to t ,et rid of one ki d of mon-poly cteaang another. The great landawner onl. was to have the pi iv lege of seltir,g game. Toe 3+. 6i. peg. :teed was to go into his pocket. Ile was to say in effect ' to the small lendowtesr, his neighbour, 4 , the game will eat . your crop, hus I alone m ust se ll i t What feelings would this-i elektly to excitePT What, upon the prin ciples of human nature. could the small landowner be expected to do in such a state of things ? What but one of two thinks—either to destroy fhb game as fast as he could, or to sell it in violation of the law. If it were a real step towards making the right of game coexten sive with the right of land, he would agree to it, but he could not agree to the proposed partiai and unjost law. He was not surprised at the popularity of the present Bill. The inhabitants of the great toss ns, who would have game upon their tables, cared about no other refor m,of the Game L tws. And there was another class of perso'is Class of landed proprietors who apps. ved of this mea we, ht a t they were anxious to obtain, by the sale of ganse, a territtuer Anon for the expense of pre.ei vaig it. How was the dreadful state of seciety now existing to be put an end to by this MI? Will it send .inomSame to market? He believed that as mucti game Was now kille.t upon every Manor as that ma nor was computed to Afford, and all that aas killed was of course used somewhere. But he had no doubt that a greater demand would spring up; the moment they got rid of impediments. to bringing it to market: Ie was true enough, that tinder a prohibition smuggling was sure to be carried on; but this W4S equally the ease under a 'mono. poly, and the misfortune of this Din was, that while it put down a prohibition it instituted a monopoly. I'be present law, over us and oppressive as it was, had been tolerated by the lower clseses of 'freeholders: it was looked upon as a remn ,nt of the feudal law—they s iew.d it as contributing to the amusements of their sui.eriors—they knew that tire game taken was con• sumrd in hospitality or given away, and therefore it was hat the la a , was tole, ated ; but if the game were to be sold, anather class of feelings would quickly spring up. He wished the great landowners to adopt a just and equal law betweets themselves and their inferiors. His Lordship could not conclude without adverting to the terrible state of society which now exis ed, and im ploring the House to consider how much the comfort, happiness, and morals of the country depended upon an amendment of these laws. On the Northern Circuit, se• viral gamekeepers had been ca.nvicted of murder at the last Assizes. He did not know whether .hey had suffered, but he referred to the occurrence for the purpose of noticing the dictum of the Learned Judge, that game keepers had no right to carry a gun for the purpose 01 protecting game.. This d: crime had undoubtedly a tendency to increase the evil. Poachers had organized thetwelves into gangs so powerful as to defy resistance Qa the 3lst of December last, a fine clear moonlight night, a gang rf forty poachers trent to the house of a Gentleman i his pot of the country (Sir J. Ramsden); they made no secret of their intention—to take game , from his preserve. Sir John had no adequate 1. ice to resist them. He approached them while they were carrying on their operations with fifteen inen, and the moment they were apprised of his approach, lie heard the leader of the gang direct his followers to draw the shot out of their guns and load with ball. Hearing this he very wisely re:ieated. An incident of the sam nature occurred to Sit George Armitage, another Gen tleman of the neighbourhood. He did not ask them to adhere to his, plait—he only asked them to inquire. He did not wish lot the Committee so much with the view of c'.llecting evidence, although he should have some evidence to off,r, as to collect together in a room the persons ebony interested in the question, where they could consult together upon it in a more satisfactory and useful manner than in that Hause. L rd FALNIOUTH opposed the Amendment. It could produce no good result. The argument of the Noble Baron went to give new rights to every man pos .essing the sm4llest piece of land, or even a garden.— He did not pledge himself to support the Bill in its future stage:, but would vote for the second reading. He lamented as much as any man the increase of crime, but he must see his way clearly belote he assented to any alteration of the law. The Duke of RICHMOND spoke in favour of a Committee. He objected to the law of qualification as it now rt.rod. The Earl of CARNARVON thought a Committee de.irablt; but could not agree to reject the present Bill. All parties agreed upon the expediency of legalising the sale of game, and if this alteration was not so extensive as might be requi:ed, it might be gord as far as it went . The privilege of sale was no: confined by the Bill to' the great landowners, it was extended to ail who pos• sessed land to the extent of 1001. a year. Of which Jeteription there were perhaps not less than 100,000 in the country. This could hardly bs called a nion A clause might be added to the Bill to give a limited quallication to occupiers of land in certain cilcurn stances. They should proceed to um iivel the system of the G4MC Laws by degrees t by permitting the sale Eit I I DARNLEY would vote for the second reading, but he at the same time was anxious for a Conimittee upon the ge neral subject. .The wan. of employment, to which allusion had been made, arose in a great degree from the influx of Irish labour. eraorho, starving in their own country, threatened to overrun this. The House had on this circumstance an additional motive to give their earnest attention Cu that great subject upon *filch be had given notice of a motiou—..the wretched mate of the population of Iceland. • The Marquis of SALISBURY, in reply,.said.tb it his Bill did nut, as had been stated, confine the right of selling game to the large landowners. Ile was out Solicitous that any Hill he proposed to their Lordships should be a popular one.' What ' he leas most anxious for, was -to prevent the fierce and dreadful contests now perpetually occurrhig all. over the country. Ho agreed that, many of the offences agaia,t the Game Laws were to he ascribed to the want of employment. It was lamentable to lire the moiler in which the labouraog classes weir too freqiently treated by the parochial officers; and he intended, if no other Noble Lord took up that subjtct, to propose a liill to• give parochial officer& she means of acting with greater justice towardisunmar. deal labourers. Lora CLIFDEN should vote in favour of the MU and also of the Conamktre. It was of the utmost importance to do away with a state of things whirl, was gradually trainiug the rural population of the country fur a servile war. After some desultory conversation, in which the Marquis of I..ANSDOWN, the Alarquis of SALISSIVAIi, and other Noble Peers' took part, Lord WII A R NCLI FFE moved chit instead of now, the Bill be read a second time ou the 24 of March. _ The ilouse thelvdivided on the question. that the word as new" stand part of t he li c solu t i u m Gntects . . . 2tion Consents . . . Majority in favour of the Dill Y 4 -2 Lord WI3AIt N C LI FFR said that many of the Noble Lords who had voted tur the second reading - of the Bill were desirous ' that a Committee upon the general subject should be appointed, he would proceed forthwith to move, that a Select Committee be ap pointed to take into consideration the Laws relating to Game, and to report their opinion thereon to the House. • After a few words of conversation betaeen Lord Fatmourn, Lord TNYIIIIIIII3I. the Marquis of &Lissom- and Loth WMAILIKILItft, t►e bar was cleared ,for a division.— Duriog our exclusion from the House, we understood that the motion was agreed to wit►out a di vision, and the Committee appointed.

SMITH said, that be had a Petition to present from the Catholic Body at Ireland, in favour id tile claims of the Protestaut Dissenters, wiaich were shortly Income under the consideration of the House. The Petition was signed by nearly three thousand persons, composing the greater part of the wealth and ii.iluence of the Catholics ut Irel.n.i. The Hon. !domainr rail that he felt the utmost satisfaction at the truly genuine Christian sentiments ex pressed in the Petition. It called upon the House to remove all distinctions of whatever kind, between his Alajesty's subjects on accnunt of 'religious differences, upon the ground that every man had a right to follow the dictates of his own conscience upon such nutters nicely and without prejudice. In that sentiment be agreed. and be believed that it of late rp.ide great progress amongst all thinking men, whilst the opposite prinCiple hadbeen the occasion of the dee l .est miseries which could afflict Mankind, and bad caused the shedding of oceans of human blood. He had, upon a former occasion, stated to the House that the ,Protestsin D►ssenters did mt intend to mil up their own cause with that of the Catholics, but that they wished to sue them, lu common with all classes of Chris tians, relieved from the disabilities under which they laboured. Of this Petition he could say the same.. There had been no union or understanding between the two bodies; it was • spOntineOUS *Mu t on the part of the Catholics of Ireland, which, in his judgmeni, did them much honour. Upon thr motion that the Petition be printed. Mr. A. DA WSON said that the Petition was of great import ance, Inasmuch as it shelved that the prejudices of the Catholics agaimt Protestant Dioseetter4 was fast fading away and becoming extinct. It ought nut only to be printed, but circulated also thr.,ugto every town in the empire, for he was sure that it would tend ;0 liberalise the British seorld. If religious distinctions v et te put an end to t and Abe Catholics admitted to bold political power , they should be at no loss to make up able Administrations, to, find a Chancellor of the Exchequer, or 'a First Lord of the Tte,swy. They should then have oil the talent of the Country open to them; Mr. HOBHOUSE raid, that in presuming to offffs himself to the House upon this occasion, he was per fectly aware that he stood in need of all—indeed of mute than the usual indulgence, which he was bound to say, and most gratefully to acknowledge. had fre quently been bestowed ticoo.him by the House. For, however often similar votes to that which' he was About to m,ise had been proposed—however often that Haute had been called upon to record the national gratitude for services done by land and by sea, he was princely aware that, except upon one occasion—that in whi:h M •. Sheridan 'waved a vote of thanks to the. English volun teers—such propositions had always Troteeded from his Majesty's Ministers. At the same time 'it had cif en struck his mind that it would be preferable to see such a measure occasionally moved by some Member of Par liament not connected with his Majesty's Government. Surely if these vote! were of any value, it was because they were the unaffected expressions of national pais tude. And it was not to be concealed that although the sentiment was one which must meet a ready ecl o in the bosoms of all also heard it, yet a Minister of the Crown always came forward mantling ui on a c,rtain eminence. and secure of a certain influence, which those who were usually opposed to him could not command. He thought also, that for the sake of these who were the objects of the national admiration and gratitude, it would be wiser and better Ili it the usage should le occasionally departed from ; because if these who core manded our armies and flirts were to be subject to the vicissitudes of those who struggled afti-r power for that which was to crown their character, their looms, and their final renown—if the reward of then gallantry and skill was to await the change+, the tricks, arid'aise ins trigues of Cabinets, then he who was a hero one day might look to be an adventu rer t h e next --( Hear , best).
