He must be awa , e that by law no Clergyman could be compelled to rrad the service more than twice a day. In the paridier where the Churches were tow smal forth p p w customary for the parishioners to meet and a 1)w an additional stipend h r early service at six o'clock in the morning, so that st portion of the inhabitants might hear it before the other. This was the case in the Parish of St. James, in this metropolis. Now did the Noble Baton think that 501. was too much for such an addition of duty ? With respect to the charge for sacramental elements, the Noble Ltd would recollect that all the wine not used in the Sacrament was to be distributed by the Mi.oster among the sick and needy. Larger orders were toerefore issued for wine than the consomptiomitibteOtermquited. that ,he test might' ire apphed SO chi itaute of the paw. As to the two old women paid for atteeding, it was evident that they were poid as servants of the church, to open the pews, light theca:4les, and do every duty requir ed. The :alai-Tea to desks and organists had tent al ways been objected ti. He found in the returns on the table that salaries of that kind had been voted at meet ings attended by Catholics as well as Protestants. In a parish in Dublin, an increase of 104 a year had beta voted in 1820 to the salary of the Organist for teach ing the Parish children, and the motion had been made by a Roman Catholic: Catholics, in fact, were in the habit of attending meztings, and although they had no right to vote, yet their opinion was consulted. In some cases ditty had even voted the money themselves; but this, he admitted, was against the law. As an in stance of the sprit r f good•tellowship which prevailed bttween the Cathoics and the Protestants, a staples baying remained in the hands of the Churchwardens of a Parish in Dublin, the money had been voted to the Catholic Priest towards rebuilding or finishing a Catholic chapel. • Viscount CLIFDEN coazended that though the Act gave the Catholics a right of appeal, it provided no se spedy for their grievances. When their, Churches had been given by Henry VIII. and Qum Elizabeth to the Protestant Hierarchy, they were in fall repairs. The Protestants had suffered them to fall into decay, and it wee very hard that the expense of rebuilding them 'should be thrown upon the Catholics. After a few words from the Earl of LlmitaiCi, Lord • Luso, and Lord CARiItaRT, LoiLI • STRANGFORD said, that being in Dublii ahom Easter in 1825, he had seen, at early service, in the palish of Si. Thomas, nut less than 490 communi. cams. At neon be had seen 800 mote. What became thee of the assertion that it was neces are to pay two old women to form a conE o egation ? Lord iiING said, that the number of comitsistieltlde Laatir could not be. taken as a fair stsuimate et those diellf i xttenide at, Abet periods ,ot the. year. . Petition was then laid ors the tsble...-Adjourtied. - - The• Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting varionsPesit lone from the Landholders of the County of Su•ara against any alteration its the Ctirn Laws, observed it was the opinion of the Petitioners, that nothing but a prohibition could enable them to live. • The Earl ot LIMERICK presented a Petition from the Catholics of Bhlntouth, its Devon, praying the House to relieve them from the civil disabilities under which they were now placed. Lord *LEY N HA M presented a Petition from a Parish In Kent, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Petitionswere presented against the Roman C.atboiles, by the Bishop of Exerast, from several places in Ikvon, and by Lord, FEIIIRSHAIS. from the City of York. Lord HOLLAND, in presenting a Petition from the Roman Catholics of Ross Carberry, begged that he might not be ander., stood to agree in the sentiments expressed by the Petitioners. He merely wished to see the Crowu in possession of its prerogatives, ' and the people of what he considered to be their rights and privi. leges.—The Noble Lord also presented a Petition from certain persons of Bristol, complaining of the injuries arising from Steam Navigation. Petitions were presented by the Earl of Suairrainuav, from . Bristol; and by Lord Korean, from a Pariah in Wales, and from Sudbury, against further concessions to the Catholics. Lord KING presented Petitions from Oldham, a Pariah In Lanarkshire, and from Ashton•under-Lyne, praying for an altera tion of the Corti Laws. • • The Nesi.e Loan&lmo presented ,Petitions from the Roman Ca-, tholics of Waterford, praying for Binancipatioo ; and front the Operative Sawyers of York, Oldham, and Ashron.ender-Lyle, against the use of Machinery.- The Marquis of Assocztar, the Bishop of Lotman and the Bari of Power , presented Petitions from Caernarvon, the Clergy of Leo: don, and from Shrewsbury, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics.

The doors opening to the Gallery having been closed at a proper time, and no more admitted than could calve. niently sad room, much of that confusion was priveeted which fro• trendy occurs when an important debate is expected.] , # Several Members appeared attbe table, and took the usual ceder: Among others, we observed Mr. COLL, of NOIIILIk, Sir Jl.

Catholics.—Laid on the table. A Petition was also presented idlest their Claims by Mr. SYNGE, from Sligo. Mr. V ISEY FITZGERALD said, a Petition had been agreed to by the county he had the honour to represent in favour of CS. tholic coacessions, but by some fatality it bad not reached him. It bore the signatures of almost all the respectable Protestant', Noble men, and Gentry of the county. Lord CHARLES MANNERS presented a Peiition from the Dean and Chapter of My, against further concessioas. Mr. ASFIG UST presented a similar Petition from the Deleted Chapter of Oxford.

Mr. MAX WELL presented seCcral Petitions from Cavan and various other places. Mr. H. GRATTAN requested the Petitions should be read, for on examining twenty Petitions presented by the Hon. Member, be found some to which no signatures were affixed—(Cbeers). There was soother called the undersigned petitioners," and it was a re. markabk fact that there was but one name, and that was 0 Fars. ham," Governor—( Loud cheers). It was a delusion practised on the young Members of Parliament, to tell them Out' the Prates. tint sense, talent, and wealth of Ireland, were hostile to Catholic concession. The SPEAKER asked whether there were no signatures at tached to the parchment, or whether there were no signatures at all? Mr. GRATTAN answered that there were signatures on small pieces of paper.—(Great cheering from the Ministerial benches.) Mr. TIERNEY wished to know if these sheets were se .t round to various pans of t►e county without a head ? Mr. MAXWELL said, copies of the parochial Petitions were sent round, so that every une who dgned had an opportunity of knowing their contents. Ma.

The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a Petition from the Shipowners of Newcastle and South Shields, praying for the ap pointment of a Committee to loquire into the Navigation Laws.— Laid on the table. InISH ♦ESTRIAS. Lord KING held a Petition from the Catholics of Ireland, signed by Lotd Killeen, Sir F. Osborne, Mr. O'Connell, and many other most respettable catholics, complaining of the exactions practised on the property of Catholics by Protestants at their will and pleasure, and with scarcely any check on the part of those who were fi,rced to pay. Protestant Vestries In fact voted away sums, nineteen parts of which out of every twenty were paid by Catholics, who were prevented by the state of the law at the same time from having a voice on the question. It was true that an Ar.t had been passed some years ago for the relief of the Catholics, but instead of relieving, the Petitioners said that it had aggrieved their situation. It gave them a right of peal, but that right could not be exercised without sects rity to the amount of 1001. having b. en previously fur ttished, which inmost cases rendered the appeal nuga tory. The exactions carried on under that Act would be incredible if they were not recorded in Parliamentary Returns before their Lordships. It appeared from those Returns that in the parish of St. Thomas's, in Dublin, the annual charges authorised by a Protestant Vestry, and chiefly paid by Catholics, were—for Sacramental wine, 281. Its. for a Sexton, 501. for a Beadle, 201. to the ltev. John Field and tl,e Rev. John Copeland, for early service, 501. each ; and for two old women to attend early service, for it appeared that no congrega tion could be procured without paying ft..r it, about as much. In other parishes 1001. and even 1501. a year were charged for ea:ly service, and 591. 1 ls. 81. for sacramental wine. The iron gates of the Cathedral of Lismore had in six years cost 4981. and salaries of 601. or 701. were paid to organists, with minor one; to as sistants, nineteen parrs of which came out of the pockets of Catholics. Indeed those Vestries, instead of endea vouring to make the expense small, seemed to do every thing in their power to make it large. The Bishop of CHESTER admitted with the Noble Lord the impropriety, that a large majority of Catho• lies :honk, be taxed by a small Protestant minority without having any check upon that taxation. If there were no effectual check, there should b: one. For, from his ow•n exp. rience as a Clergyman in this country, he knew that jobs of the kind alluded to were m• re frequent than they ought to be. He had looked over the large vo ume on the table, however, and as far as he could judge from the general amnia levied, the instances of abuse most be few, though souse there were which could hardly be accounted for. Some of the observations made by the Noble Luid were is ap- RIGHTS OF THE POOR. On the la of March was published (to be continued on the First of every Month), Part IL price le.
