~'~ . 4 retied' ngs of the Association-veryestberte fa i from thooght they bad acted with lolly upon many occasions, and veiylitludiciously; bet still he could not stigmoixe the allusions the Si..erch was calcu I ited to do, aril as the Address confirjnest. He was free to achnti that the AssociatiOniwas incon sistent with the Constitution, and therefore it was il'egal; but it was not inconsistent with the spirit of the COnstitution.for the people had the undoubted right of expressing their opinions, and detailing their grievances, and where could they do it better than by a public meeting and union, which was open to all de nominations of Christians?—(Hear). It was a danger. cus precedent_ for the people to look to a P•iwer inde• pendent of the Government, an] it was highly neces katy that Parliament should take care that they did not a••-at the same tifte he thi•ught that the power, danger, and existence of this present state of things, would be put an end to by the measures now propo ed. Upon most occasions he had differed with the Right Hon. Gentleman. On the present he had done infinite credit to himself by the course which he had token—(Cheers). _lle was placed in a painful and etbbiorassing situation. He had sacrificed his private feelings to his sense of pub lic duty—to the duty which he owed his country, pre letting that, and that alone, to evetyconsideration of a Private nature. Not even the emoluments of office, nor that poster and commandininfluence which it gave -110( even the ties of friendsh ip -the good opinion of his essoci .tes, would have operated to induce him to con 'tinue , consistent in his opinions, seeing that the good of 1 is country was at stake; an] thetefore the Right Gentle Mao had sacrificed all these inducements— lie had des; ised the cry of " Consistency," and had brought forward the' measure of Emancipation— (Che'r-). Ile might have gained popularity—he might have been I lodes! to the skies, if hefted preserve! his Consistency, and retired from office—the count, y, from - one end to the other, would have been convulsed, had the Right lion. Gentleman contii;ued consistent—he would have been praised for his consistency, and ssiiiilJ hay- reaped the reward of temporary poeulari y et th pt ice—but be cho-e the wiser, the. mote honour able course—(Cheels). It was a satisfaction to find that the measure of Ebsincipati.:n would be accomplished— by whom i(was imro.sible to say—but it would be ac. coMplished ;•and truth, justice, and liberality, would 'eventually prevvil—(Cheert). tie bad no doubt but that Ist tie opposition a ould be shown to the measure of s cipatiou, except by a faction as insignificant in numb% rs as In talents—(Hear)—who claimed the exclusive :praise of loyalty' o their Sovereign, but who were active rn vituperation and seditious language, disgraceful to tt e cause which they were con,ciousthey had lost (Climes) 'Although the nieasure ( f coercion was cr u, led with Abe great measure of Emancipation, he co slid not go the Ingth of adm•ttirig that they would at once remove - alllba diffi ulties which a long system of mismanage. meat by the Government had ent.ilei upon Ireland — 'Meer, heart. The Hon Member tiers, in allusion to 'the enlightened view which the Government had taken 'of the subject of Emancipation, quoted a passage from 'the Sicted.ll9 k, to show that they bad followed the' doctri - e. then ells set down. It could not, he said, be ezpected that the agitation and disturbances, which had so I , ng •el cte,l ' , child, would all at once subside; it wi uld eel sully be requi to to apply isese e curb to fettle the kingdom into b.4:,its of tranquillity. In tl e present state of ' , viand it %fluid be necessary that a strong aniresineo; should be administered, in accom panting the measure of conciliation; nor could Minis , ter. ask Jess than they now asked—tHearj—not . as a •peemoilaent infringement upon the Constitution. but as a weans of precaution. Under thee ciiconittauccs, lie • wild give the measure his Assent. • St, E. KNATCHUULL Amid he •houhl not havr risen list fur some obwrgrations made by the Honourable Gentle man whip spoke Isst—(lli4r, heir). lie was ready to admit that diffurences•-of opinion were to be entertained upon questions with doe courtesy, and be certainly did aspect that the tame latitude of . speech would be allowed to him that the Honour.ible Gentleman had imiulged in—not that be wished to speak in anger, to vitupe rate, to reproach—but to give a fair, candid, and reasonable ex pression of his feeling's upon the question of Emancipation (Cheers). The Honourable Gentleman, no doubt, bad spoken unintentionally and unwarily when he charged tins with using language of a fee times nature. lie would always observe that temper in discussion which best portrayed his &chugs. With respect to the proposi tion of the Right lion. Gentleman, be would offer no opposition; . hut he was afraid be could not tomcat to give it his support, on the ground that it was essential to the safety of the country, and to the honour and dignity ief the Crown. The ezhtence of the Catholic Association bad long been injurious to the security of the country. Whether within the last six months circum stances had arisen to make it necessary for the Government to Interfere. he could not say—at least be could not discover any—for precedents taut'of number, anterior to that period, were not want ing to show the necessity—( Hear, bear). He would ask, what was there in the violence of the Catholic Association—in the dace of society of Ireland, so different within that period as to justify In terposition on the part of Government? Nothing that he could nee—(Hear. bear). With respect to the great question—that of Emancipation—nothing had since occurred to make him change 'his opinion, though other Gentlemen bad discovered enough for changing theirs. The situation in which be (Sr Edward) was placed, w,s a delicate one—if any thing he might say bore the cha racter of invective, he would be content to suffer—but it was well known the Hight Hon. Gentleman had been cheered throughout F.r.gl-nd as the Champion of the Protestant cause. It was true, if -C-entlemen changed their opinions, and found themlehtes in error, .they night retract ; so the Right Hon. Gentleman was at libetty . to review his cu duct. Fur h instil, he (Sir K.) entertained the aante opinions. Nothing he had heard this night had changed them, and be wished the Hight Hon. Gentleman bad preserved his. Mr. PEEL rose tot explain. lie said that it was nee celsary that he should art the 'loft. Baronet ,right upon a matter 'Witch lathail stated in hitaddress to the Honer. The Honourable Baronet bad said that he (Mr Peel) was bailed by the people of Englund as the champion of the Protestant cause, whilst he was in his own mind determined to abandon that cause upon the present occasion. Now. be declared, upon Isis honour, that although at the Time aUuded to be had certainly made up his mind as to the course which he should adopt if he were in a private capacity, yet, as he bad then every hope of being able to nuke the disclosure in this. circumstances. he had deterred it until aft.r he .boul4 have retired from oßce. The cour.v of events had, bowsvet, huh no alter. 'wive but to make the explanation in a public character, and the time had not yet arrived when he could do so with propriety. Mr. G. MOORE wonIU hot oppo,e the moron csf the Thjkt Hon. Gentleman. Ile had no wish to interrupt the trans (*Oily of the debate, but for the observations of the I lotsuursble Gentleman (Mr. V. Stewati), whose tone and temper he would trot follow. With respect to the -Catholic Astciatiori. within the last twelve months, he bad, in and out M Parliamtut, re peatedly expressed his opinions upon their conduct ; he had, iu tact, presented a. petition upon the subject. and had pointed out the existence and the increase of the evils arising from that Association, which was shaking the very foundations of civil liberty—(He. r, friar, bear). He would support the motion upon grounds fat different from thrift stated by the Honourable Member for Preston and the Noble Lortl—be supported it fur reasons contrary to those brought forward by them. At the stow time, he was ready to'give credit to every part of the Bright Honourable Gentleman's statement, but be would ask the House from whence did the evils which he had described arise? He (11r. M.) would reply—lran the confidence shown by the Catholic Association — Isom the daring proceedings of that body—from destroying the authority between liandlord mad tenant. These were the causes which had produced the evils. To whom was the country in. sighted for the disturbed state of Ireland? To the tumultuous as seinbUts—to tke direr.; proceedings of the Association—to the Logone held by the leading Members, calculated to produce (ss it did Produce), a system of danger vrblch had Intimidated the Go vernment. Why had Governmentauffeted these proceedings so Ion,: to continue ? :fneir conduct afforded cause for serious reflection, that one branch of the cause of the evils was the disunion in Ms M jetty's Councils. Now, if the Human Catholics were allowed 'neuter the Legi-lature—to sit In the Couricris of the station with a view to promote the interest, of the Empire, what a source foe kasha wanlibs mewelild , 4lloa• gfit thls Iltesad be the onnoqmose, mud daMl .the Conedlntion ninaVbst its itetarrem dered and thee reeenstrueWdert(Helle.

The Pro instants of Ireland •wert anlious to testify their loyalty, and be trusted means would not be taken to represithent. Sir JOSEPH SYDNEY YORKE 'said, - he must beg the House not to imagine, because be rose immediately after the Honourable and Learned Member, that he was 'odor to follow him through his long, learned, and luminous speech—(Laughter). He (Sir Joseph) had no such intention; and he rose, in the first instance, to impress upon the mind of the Hon. Member opposite his error in presuming that he (Sir Joseph) was compelled, in con sistency, to give his vote against the present measure . . He bad considered (routine King's Speech that this Bill would be the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. He wished to ask a Member of the Catholic Association, whom he saw in his place opposite, whether be was at the last Session of the Association, when the violence of their gs amounted to the greatest insult to this country? The (3= e l l i i r l itator had tbere,pledged !timed( to the removal of all Catholic restrictions—to unqualified Fattancipation. Furthermore be said (at least be, Sir J. Yprke, liked if he did any so), that when he came into that House (where, from his long letter, be supposed be could come), the first thing be Wduld do would be to disc*. the bated Union. Is was linportant to know if skis all-powerful body, the Association, coulf make it. agents do this. • 'Mr.VILLIERS STEWART et - via not himself answer the Hun. and Gallant Member; but he could fisfoilin Min that the great agitator was in town, and probably be might won be in a situation to answer the,GaUant Officer's qmetion.. Mr. W. O'BRIEN said, that ii any thing.coold en hance his Majesties .most • gracious reconuneodition from the Thrace, it was the lannusge.and manner in which it hartbeest con veyed. He could OM very little credit to that man who could be tke last to accede to ouch an ant of grace and mercy. Lord MILTON.seid; that not being a Member of the Catholic Asnictatten, be could not answer the question put by the Gallant Admiral to hi. Hen. Friend, the Member lot Waterford; but he could say for kimacif, tharentess the present motion was to be followed by unqualified Betamelpatioa, it should not have his support. lie concurred witlStbe Right Hon. Gentleman in think ing that a measure confessedly anomalous end professing to be temporary. was far less likely to be injurious to the Constitution than one of milder character, and framed apparently more con sistently with the Constitution. But the principal object of his tiling was to vindicate the Catholic Association from the charges which bad been brought against it. For his own part, be thought that Ireland and th 4 country were both deeply indebted to that Association. lf, however, the second chapter was not to take effect, it would be Tay difficult Weaker to persuade him that this first chapter was not to be renewed. When large bodies of men had political grifemees to untspilin of. it *tented better and er that there should be oldie organ, like the Aseeciation,tbrough which tbeir grievances nottwishes might be expressed. than to bete them break out inacts of towage and violent,. He was not surprised at the warmth !of the -Hon. Baronet;dteliember for Kent (Sir B. Knatebbull); it might appear in'solite measure justi ii some words which fell from the Member:for Preston (Mr. Stanley). He felt confident, however, that in any thing which had fallen from his Hoo. Friend (Mr. Stanley), he meant no impute don upon any Member of that House. The lion: Baronet (Sir IL Knatebbull) said he should have honoured tile'. Right Hon. Slim y (Mr. Peel) more had he remitted at the head of that party of which he bad been so long the ornament. He thought from the Hon. Baronet. It appeared to him thattbe greener the sacrifices which that Bight Hon. Gentleman knew he 'must, make by a change of opinion, the greater credit there was due to him far avowing it. That he bad made great sacrifices no penes could deny, and the manner is which he acted, in the face of so assay difficulties, rendered Alm worthy of the highest applause—(Hmr). What be had done was far more honourable to him than if be bad continued in the situation he bad abandonlif—the representative of a great and powerful community. L)rd MORPETH supported the motion. With re. spec: to the measure. be thought it. was founded mied the most correct views ' and, connected with the Eneencipmien el the Ree man Catholic body, was entitled to their tenon and gratitude. He Mought a great deal of unnecessary ahem bed.been heaped upon sin Catholic Amociation ; for it was espedient that they should have some organ through which to tell their grievances. The Honourable Aleniber for Dublin bed attributed to them all the evils which bad &Mined Ireland. This was not the cue ; nor. indeed, did be think any of them were. • He believed. that the members of that body would not feel angry with the Honourable Member for his opinions ; they were in too good a bonteur to be otherwise thau pleased. If Catholic Emancipation is to be achieved. it will be in consequence of the conduct of the Government. The Noble Lord had lately visited Ireland. and from what be bad there seen of her wrongs, he was satisfied that the measure of Emmet pukes would be dse only one for securing the peace of the cottony. Mr. R. G RANT had no wish to embarrass the Right Honourable Mover; bur be begged to say that be did not collect any distinct grounds for the measure of Emancipation. With re ' spect to the arguments of the lion. Baronet, they amounted to this —that lithe measure was necessary. the samoground ealsteal three or four years ago. For himself, be was rather adverse to the men. sure for putting down the Association. because it partook too much of the character of •Isegialation. But at the same time he was pre. pared to support it, because it added esly one drop to the cauldron, which unhappily for Ireland was boiling over: In carrying into effect the great measute of Emancipatiou. be was glad to place con fidence in Ministers, for having so far caused the great messes* of relief for the Catholics, consequent upon the subject gemmed this night. He, however, could not think that the question of Ranan• cipatloo had hi the least been altered for the last twenty years—there might, to be sure, be shades of differences—some prejudices to overcoats. known only to the King's Government, which might give It 'a new colouring. With his most earnest endeavours he would support Ministers, and cordially support the preposition. Mr. BANKES wished to ask the Honour Ible Mrlll - whether he believed that the Association was not dangerous to the Constitution? and he asked his Majesty's Government why it had endured it so long? why the subordinate Law Odicent had not put it down? It wee base to allow it. He believed the pre sent day was almost the 'anniversary of the passing of tbe t Act for putting down that Association foot years since, and which had been introduced by the Honourable Headroom himselt, when Se cretary fee Ireland. There was another charge against Ministers —nut that they bad suffered the Association to exist an long—but that they had ow applied to Parliament before for stronger powers. The Right Honourable Gentleman had talked of the danger being greater now, but who made it greater? Was it not Ministers, by conniving so long at the existence of this kweciation. Willre spect to the measure. he entirely concurred in it, because he thought at was well calculated to et et the object itheitio view—an object ,which ought to have been met four years sloes. Muth bad been said of ibe character of public nsen, but oohing tended more to impair that character than the frequent changes °Libel,. opinion. • l'he Marquis sit TAVISVOCK vas atution. to state the grounds upon which be supported tbelismeares in question.— ile could out consent to lose a great good at the price of a small evil, and therefore he was inclined to support It, hoping that it would pas. as a preliminary to the givat measure of Manancipatitto, so essrutidly necessary to the peace and prosperity of Ireland.— Ministers were eutitkd to the confidence and gratitude of the Em pire for having brought it forward. DOIIER 11, the Solicitor General for Ireland, was disposed to deliver his sentiments, In consequence of his inti mate knowledge of the state of Ireland. But be particularly wished to make a few observations upon what fell from the Hun. Member Sir. Bankes). Wbe.her right or wrong, be (Mr. D.) had held the sante course—be hid set his fees against the Catholic Association as strenuously a 4 he had advoosted the cause of Catholic Emend pation. lie bad, during the last Session of Parliament, invariably, when on the subject of Ireland, stated that it was impossible things could go on as they were then—be had stated this divas. sensately and unconnected with party—be had said, " You must .ither go back to the system of coercion, erg.) on with comillatkat." He now thanked Gun the Government had beeen induced to act, after having eaantined. the subject, in accordance with his re coatmeudalion. Ile could oat agree with the Hon. Member, as to the disgrace of reviewing past conduct. This House was I what is called a deliberative Assembly, and was it not proper to review and deliberate upon the best coarse of action?—(Hest). It was impossible the lino. Member could know the state of Ireland I so well as be sod ether Irk* fiembeti; they resided nearer . ote-: scene of action.-tbey were moving Melt Spot . to spot, and noyike the Hots. klembeedised to one from &mien to Session, in one piace..-jn the sante 'posture—to the mum shush. dew—(Hear,-brat).

Four years bad elapsed since the Act was la fake, and melting had been done.' Why T—The Law Olken, the Attorney General, with hiniself--Air be, in fact, was the proper authority to enforce the Aito-for tie (Mr. 1).) was only a subordinate Officer, as the Hon. fileiefier had described him. Every means bad been tried to accomplish the object, but the attempt was abortive -o-the Law Officers could not act unless legally. sod the law in question did not reach the Association, foe it was found to be a difficult Ming to frame a bill of indictment against seven millions of individuals— (Hear, hear. and cheers). The Honourable and Learned Gentle. man then congratulated the House that the public sentiments bad 'been gradually ripening for Emancipation ; for it was through the House alone that the sentiments of the public could be collected. —The expression of the sentiments of the Members were evi dence of that fact—(Loud cheering). The peace and prosperity of • Ireland would mainly depend upon the manger In which the queslion is carried. He knew of no danger .o great as ap pealing to the passions and prejudices of men. lie thought it much better to gather the opinions of all, at the lame time giving those Members of a contrary sentiment lull credit for their .opinions. If the measure was to be carried, it ought to be done with grace and with healing oa its wings. The lion. and Learned Gentleman. in alluding to the sentiments delivered by the Member for Liver. pool (Mr. Huskisson), on a former evening, when he lamented that Mr. Canning was not alive to share the praises of the measure of conciliation, observed, that be equally lamented with his Right Honourable Friend that be was not present—one common feeling animated them both. He regretted that that great Statesman had not lived to reap the rewards of his liberal policy—to see it made a Cabinet measure, and to tarry it to completion—(Hear). Mr. HUSKISSON said he 10110111 J ttespa‘s but a short. time on the attention of the House. The method now proposed was clearly the most efficient for putting down the Association. hue if this measure, which would in fact be a suspension of the Coe• stitution In Ireland, was proposed unaccompanied with the other, he should not be prepared to give it his support. Four years back the Government was much occupied in deliberation upon the sub. ject now before them. He was not at liberty to state what occur red in the eabliset Member . of which he was then a Member . This much however be might say. that it was deemed impossible to proceed further without suspending the constitudea so tar as regarded Ire. land. Seeing bow the Act of 1825 worked, he became convinced that noting .could put down the Associalon, but an arbitrary power, such as that which the Government now proposed to establish for a filed period. , Was the Member for Dorset pre- Owed to say that such a power se this was to be permanently eseablisbed ? For his own part„be would declare that he never should [consent to the granting of such power, unless acco npaided with a prospect of getting rid of that state of things in which the Association bad its birth. It was with this view he should now support tfie proposition of his Right Honourable Friend. I It was inconsistent with the Constitution, and with the exercise of the due and necessary powers of Government. that such an Association should exist. It was the more desirable that it should be put down under present circumstances, when the ex.- pressed intentions of Government were likely to give eke to no small degree of excitement, while the measure by which' the intentions were to be carried into effect was sander dikussion He deprecated with the Member for Kent the use of scrinionlom - language ' and he ousted. while this subject was under c'nddera. dots. ttielr proceedings would be marked on all sides by forbearance and gotal temper. Allusion bad been made by the Member fur Prescott (Mr. &apley). and by the Mein's. r for Kent, to the lan guagekcasinoally employed in cestaia public vehicles of In one of those vehicles an address bad lately appeared from a person of no meatiinflueuce or station in the country (Lord Win. chihea), in which they would find that a majority of that• House were designated as degenerate Senators—(Hear, hear!) lie tooted that the example of such an appeal to the passions, if not to the errors of the people would not be followed, but that the rational and just suggestio n of the Member for Kent would Invoke dee weight, and _that the discussion would be conducted with good temper and moderation—( Mr. Secretary PEEL said that the unanimous agree ment of the House would have rendered it totally unnecessary for him to add another word or what be had already stated. if it were not fur the personal appeal which bad been made to him by the Honourable Member for Dorset, whom he would still take the liberty of allies his friend. It was asked by him why the Catholic Awociation were allowed to acquire the energy and bionics to which they had attained? Ilk ready answer was, that the state of disunion in the Councils of his Majesty almost of necessity prevented the suppression of that body. The Go. veronica never evinced the slightest indisposition to carry the law c 41528 into effect, if be found it could be done with effect. The fact was otherwise, and to have tried an attempt likely to fail would be much worse than to tolerate the continued exiwence of the Association. If be were to state all the reasons in detail which would be necessary for the four years since 1825, they could pro duce but little informrtion to the House ; but again be would re peat that the disunion" in the Councils of the King mainly led to the results which called for a measure for the suppre.lion of the Catho lic Association. He here begged leave to say that be eras art calous to the reproaches of his Honourable Friends; but, under sein ing circumstances, be was sure that they would do u he had done with a view to the promotion of the best interests of the country. With respect to the attack made so personally against him by the Honourable Member for Dorset, be admired it more for its boldness then for its justice; and when be was asked how he bad changed, he would ask his Hun. Friend ( Mr- Bankes) bow be himself had reconciled the change which he bad made since the year 1511 or 1812, when be voted with Mr. Canning for the con sideration of the very identical question to which he was now -so strenuously opposed?—(Cheers)—ln the conduct of his Honour able Friend (Mr. Bankes), be found his own and his best vindica tioo—o(Here the Right Honourable Secretary read an extract front tbe,speech of Mr. Bankes In 1512), and concluded by stating, that be Orlef, fors charge, sad an unlounded charge of inconsistency, would sacrifice the best interests of his country—(Cheers). Mr. BANKES—I hope the House will indulge me with a few words, after what has just fallen front the Right Ilea Gentleman. lam perfectly aware of the circumstances under which I became a party to the vote moved by Mr. Canning at the end of the Session of 1812. 1 was certainly extremely desirous of seeing the question settled, sod I hoped that it might be arranged to the satisfaction both of Protestant. and Catholics ' • but the too. . ment it was communicated to me that nothing short of concession of seats in both Houses would satisfy the Carbolic*, l strenuously opposed the proposition I had advocated, in the hope of concilia tion. My opinion is, that the moment you admit Roman Catholics to political power, there is an end of the Prete. ant Mstabliehment in Ireland. As to the rest, I admit, apd persevere in the expres sions read by the Right Hoe. Gentleman. I never blame any man for a conscientious change of opinion ; on the contrary, I praise him (or, it; but then the reasons for the change must be adequate. The. Bight Honourable Gentleman tells us that his motives for changing ,are such as he knows, and we do not know ; and true it is,, that he has never laid his case before us. As for myself, I beg to say, that I do stiU desire extremely to see thesd claims settled, and to gibe the Roman Catholics everything short of political power—( Hear. and laughter). This opinion is quite consistent with the opinions I have before expressed, and with the votes I have hitherto given. Mr. PEEL—I appeal-to the House whether. I made the first attack oa my Honourable Friend, and whether !have not a right to quote his own opinions in my vindication?—(Hear). I think with him, that the question ought to be settled, and that it mu-t be settled : differ as to the nature and degree of the power to be conferred. The Question was then put; and leave was given to bring in a Bill " for the Suppression of Dangerous Associations or -Astern. blip in Ireland. " Mr. PEEL afterwards brought in the Bill. and It was read a first time. The second reading was fixed for Thursday, and in the interval it was ordered that the Bill be printed.

It is only deeply to be regrated Nast the Gsvernment had not long since adopted :int. sign. tons cou•se with respect to this B )4, and not allowed it to gain strength, as well by the duration of its et istence, as by the influence which it obtained over the pas.ioas of• the lower cliss of the people of Ireland. The measures now to be pursued are such as, under a vigorous administration of affairs in the Sister King. duns, will, we trust, be efficacious. The LOnD Litt te. WANT is to be armed with a power to suppress coot meeting or assembly of people which he may consider .1a 'genius to the public peace, or inconsistent with the due administration of the law. The House were coin. pletelj unanimous on the propriety of this measure, and the Bill will, no doubt, pass rapidly through Parliame. t without any opposition. Mr. Pan., is our opinion, travelled out of his war, in describing on this occasion the state of Ireland, as the justifying cause of his cnnvetsion to the cause Of C4tholic Emancipation. It was necessary for him to show the effect which the Association had had in pro. ducing the general excitement in Ireland. and so fir he was justified in detailing the actual condition of that country; I.ut it was premature, and we thick uncaniid, to enter upon the general question bathe the Bill is brought forward, which is to add to the dangersof the Empit*, by giving political posier to Catholicsond thereby we.keni , g the secufty of the Constitution. We may, nevertheless, observe, that Mr. Past. stated nothing new respecting the state of Ireland. A 3 he mentioned was published in the daily Papers at the time the Occurrences took piece, and the Theasarw which the Government thereupon Promptly took; pat 'an end to all the disturbances which threate. ei the country. The evil has been, that the Cabinet was di vided on the subject of Catholic Emancipation, and consequently the decided steps which the state of be hind hag long called for have not been 'taken. If the Oovernment had been united on that point, and had acted •Oh the•vignur which the occasion called for,the peace of Ireland would never have been disturbed, and the Agitators would never have. been able to use Co. tholic Emancipation as a eats•paw for the aceoraplith ment of their real objects. We sincerely believe that if Emancipation were granted tomorrow, it would art produce any beneficial effect in Ireland. and would.pro. duce an excitement through Great Britain which would be attended with more danger to the State than any thing which could take place in Ireland. It "ill be most highly gratifying to all true a 'air/Ts of our Protestant Constitution, to observe by the pm. ceedings of last night, in the House of ',grids, that the Archbishop of Cawritnnuay and the Bishop of LON DON declared their a ntiments of opposition to the Ca tholic Claims to be LINCHAVOICD. A report had bees industriously circulated, that his Grace the Archbishop bad seen reasons for aiming his former opinion ra this subject, but he indigo intly refuted such mrasper sion of his character: and the Bishop of Lnrcoom wise prties.ed his adherence to his before declared opinion, with the neatness and the liberality of kenos fur the opinion of others which so c inspituously tinguished that must learned and able Prelate„ Wa. are delighted to see such good feeling manifestedbl the Heads of the Church. " A House divided alp' Ha itself cannot stand," and • this maxim of • wisdom would be soon fulfilled in reference to the Cheat, of England, if her Archbishlips and Bishops wed , o pull different ways on this most important occasion. We have. however, great lesson to believe that they El not. We already knew that the sentiments (Ail! 'holt Prelates 'A ho have already spoken on the subject daiisi the Session are unanimous, and we have every reason ' believe that a full agreement exists amongst nearly ths whole of the Leained Bench. If amongst them and Jules should be. found, he will probably prove 10 to one of those whose elevatittn has been owing moie Is some Court Favouritism than for the eminence 411 his Learning or his Piety, or for the soundneu of bil principles.
