One of the• . e was lions the Protestant members of that pro fession, and had 100 signatures; the other was hom Catholic members, signed by 67. The Hon. Member fur Dover, he observed, had stated that the number of Iri•h Barri s ters had exceeded 600. Whatever the num ber might be which was called to the Bar in Ireland, be (Mr. D.) believed, that .the number of practising Bar ri►ters was about 240—at least that was the number which subscribed to the law library, and the majority of these petitioned in favour of their Catholic cotintry nen. There were a gnat number who, holding jprfEiil tituations, did not wish to interfere in politics, let were favourable to the measure before the House. 1 looking over the register of the Irish Bar, he selected etesen members of that House., who once were mem bers t>f the Lish Bar, and all of whom were in favour of tl.is measure; and he could find but one member of that House belooging to the Irish Bar who was opposed to it. In alluding to the Petitions from the Catholic side of the lie, the Hon. ldernber observed, that there had (trendy been four or fiari Catholic Barristers ap poured to juJicgal offices, and the seal, diligence, and ability with which they discharged their duties com manded the admiration of Catholics and Protestants.— He trusted that this would be the last time that , the dis biuctian betweekCatholic lied Protestant would be found in petitions; but that, is fume, they would to all en rolled on the same sheet of parchment, having a tutu mon object in view—the welfare of their c worry. Mr. MOORE did not mean to throw any disparage ment on those who signed petitions which his Hon. Friend presessted;bet he thought that his Hon.Fe lend was mistaken in the calculation which be made of the num bers and saspettabili y r,f the Irish Bar—from his (Alf. Nacre's) &omit: dge of the Barristers who attend. sl tie foto Collis, the proportion of this respectable pail of them elh.cll signed the petition was very small; wl me lts several of rank, talent, and experience, were en the opposite side, among shorn was one individual oh had latelyilled a high office (Mr. Saurin we presume). a man of sound knowledge and the strictest integrity aid independence , than whom no person could be fouled, more attached to the interests of the church and of Wet country. If his Hon. Friend would duly weigh the members el the Irish Bar, both for and against thee.. tholic question, he would find that the latter were en titled go mote consideration than the former. Mc. DOHERTY declined to make a contrast be tween their respective tneiir.s, but he would say, that many who had been heretofore opposed to further con. cession, were now of opinion that the time had arrived for settling the quest on. It seas the. fashiortuf late to revile those woo adore dreir sentiinents on this' Tuition ; but lie (Mr. When)) would say, in answeil to such reproaches, what Mr..Borke 1 said on a simihir ream, and especially they did not speakthe.senteof the °anion —".

Secretary for the Home Des partment ought to have taken. such a step as they had dote towards the settlement of the Catholic questioni but at the same time he did not hesitate to state, that the great majority of the inhabitants were opposed to the claims. For the last tniity-six years he had been the constant opponent to the measure, - but during that time it had never before been brought forward by the •Ministers of the State.

Gentleman its defence of his desertion of his former principles, and he still en. tertained a hope that the Right Hun. Gentleman would retrace his steps, and again place himself at the head of the Protestants of the Empire. Mr. G. DAWSON did not wish to depreciate the petition from Londonderry in the slightest degree, although he had certainly received statements of many artifices having been resorted to to procure signalises. He would, however, allow it to lie upon the table as the petition ot .22.000 inhabitants of Londonderry against the claims of the Catholics, and would bear testimony to the great respectability of a glen proportion of those by whom it was signed; but he would state that the opinion.. of the people of that aunty were by no means unanimous, and he saw that the names of many distinguished and wealthy individuals were absent tram the petition. He believed the people of that county were, like those of other parts of Ireland, be ginning to see that 14113, settlement of the question was necessary. He bad one proof of this opinion in the fact,' that the Petition from Londonderry, which was usually presented by him,..was now presented bibip Itigist,Hots. Eliend (Sir (.
