IMPERIAL PARLIAM ENT. HOUSE OF LWIDS—Tv Ls DA v. The Earl of ELDON presented petitions from the Mayor and Corporations of Haverfordwest, Cardigan, and Pembroke, against the /imposed alteration in Walsh judicature. Lied SICELMERSDALE presented a petition from the licensed victuallers of Rochdalaainst throwing open the beer trade. The Bishop of LON DON, after briefly stating the facts to which the petitioners referred, praying that the house would pace a bill to annul the marriage of Elisabeth Hickson and Themes Buxton, the petition, and said, on filonday next, he should mote of t he whole home, to bike the subject into eons'- . a view fitfotrodnaitl/1&" -- '•-• After a few observations from the Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY, the purport of which was not heard below the bar, The Earl of ELDON, having adverted to what transpired in • Court of Law, and before the pe t Lord Chancellor, respecting the parties, both of which daWa m , he said, could not be other. wise, consistently with law and equity, next proceeded to notice the state of the Marriage Act, in which be described an anomaly as ex isting, and said, by that Act, parties intending to be married by bans ought, in conformity to law, to give seven days' notice to the clergyman. But how seldom did it happen that this was complied with ? Instead of notice being thus given, how frequently it hap- Pelted that the clergyman knew nothing of the parties until the se cond lesson of the service, when a piece of paper was given him by the clerk, to publish bans between them. Ought these things to continue F The noble and learned Lord thought not. He perfectly concurred in what the Right Rev. Prelate had said, that the subject was worthy the serious consideration of the house. The petition was then read, and laid on the table. Sir A. GIANT, Mr. DirlicomsE, Mr. HAT, and other members of the House of Commons, brought up various private bills. Mr. Crater, from the Treasury, presented at the bar an account of duties on spirits. The Duke of PORTLAND (we believe) presented petitions from the royal burgh of Ayr, and another, against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from a place in Yorkshiree, in favour of the removal of the Assizes to Wakefield. Viscount 111ELVILLE presented a petition from Edinburgh, against the additional duty on British spirits. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from an indi vidual of Chelsea,praying an alteration in the laws relating to tithes. The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition from Hythe, Kent, complaining of distress, and praying relief; also a similar petition from the stonemasons of London and Westminster. The Noble Earl likewise presented a petition from Bolton, Lancashire, praying the abolition of the punishment of death for forgery. The Noble Earl was about presenting a petition against the bill for the relief of the Jews, from 111 r. Cobbett (as was understood) but withdrew it, the bill not being yet before the house. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Port ant, against the punishment of dat6 for forgery ; also petitions from a parish in Dublin, and the town of Drogheda, praying the removal of the duty on coals imported into Ireland. The noble marquis likewise presented a petition from the Barony of Upper Ch eery, Queen's County, against the proposed duty on British spirits ; and another Ftition from a body of trades in Glasgow, foe throwing open the trade to India and Mina. Earl STANHOPE Fomented a number of petitions against the malt duty; awns she pieces were Madame, Wateringbury, East Peckham, Cbseisen, near Dover ; and a parish in Warwick shire. The noes earl said that the distress was universally coin. plained of in the i gr aw. The malt duty, be added, wee very op. P 111 the vane of die amide MINK Is oi t :e of th laillaP e l Ptisus it was stated, that the annual consumption of malt was now less by two-fifths than it was taking the average of 10 years Previous to 1723—upwards of a century back. For his own part, he was inclined to believe that but little would accrue, if the malt duty were taken off, should the monopoly in the beer trade be suffered to continue. The private bills on the table were respecdvely advanced one stage. The Fen Hospital (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, after a few observations from Lord CARBERRY and the Duke of WELLINGTON. CHURCH ZITRILISHXRYIT. Lord MOUNTCASHEL begged leave to present a petition from the protestant inhabitants of the towns of Wexford and New Rom, complaining of abuses existing in the established church, and solicit. Mg their lordships' consideration of so important a subject. The petitioners played of their lordships to restore much of the pro. petty which had irregularly accumulated in the hands of the Irish church to the purposes for which it had been originally intended ; to render the ministry of that church efficient, and to correct the deficits of the Ecclesiastical law. His lord ship confessed that be coincided generally with the views of the petitioners, who were all persons of the highest respectability, of whom some were churchwarden, and one was the Sovereign of Ross ; his lordship also begged leave to present another petition to their lordships, which was one of the most important that had ever been submitted to their attention. It was from the Protestant inha bitants of the county and city of Cork, complaining of the abuses of the English and Irish Much, and pea for their cor rection. (Hear, hear, bear.) The petition &tinged to the Eccle siastical law, the connection of secular affairs with the Church, the distribution of the revenues of the Church more equally amongst its ministers, and the necessity of more effectively educating the poor. The petition was signed by a ter number of respect. able persons than had ever been appended to any similar document, amongst whom were sixty magistrates. His lordship said that, in pursuance of the wishes of that body of persons whose petition be had just presented, he felt it his duty bring forward a motion on the subject, which had called forth this expression of their sentiments. He acknowledged that never in his life —never, be could sincerely say, had he experienced so much embarrassment in the performance of a duty. This embarrassment arose from his want of ability—from a consciousness of his inadequacy to do justice to an undertaking of so much Importance. It was increased by the circumstance of that task having devolved upon one who was so young a mem ber of their lordship's house. He wished, from his heart, that some other noble lard, of greater experience and ability, bad taken the subject up; but when be looked round him, and found no indi. vidual willing to do so, be yielded to his strong mese of duty, and came forward. In stating the facts upon which be grounded hie motion, he hoped their lordships would excuse him if he should not place them in that strong point of view of which they were capable—he hoped that, with their better knowledge, they would aid him, and hear him out. (Hear.) Before he proceeded, he could not avoid remarking, that perhaps his greatest uneasiness on the present occasion arose from an apprehension that he should be cons id ered as in the slightest degree opposed to the doctrines of the Established Church. No man was more attached to the Epis copal Reformed Church than he (Lord Mountcashel), but at the same 1 time that he entertained and declared his firm attachment, he also felt assured that in neglecting to point out and remove those circum stances, which threw an adventitious blemish on It, he should be performing the part of an insidious enemy rather than of an attached adherent. If he came before their lordships armed with facts reflecting upon any portion of that Church's discipline or practice, his only reason for doing so was, that he might render it better and more respectable. He hoped, therefore, that no thing which should escape from his lips should be misconstrued. I He had been accustomed for many years to study his religion—he had been satisfied with having been born a member of any faith— he had not taken his creed by rote—be had taken pains to inquire and examine, and the more he had done so, the more reason he felt to be attached to the established Protestant lipiecopal Church. Having said so much on that point, he 'tmid then remark that he looked upon religion in a twofold point of view, as doctrinal end PrectialL Its great use was to enlighten the heart of man, to direct his actions to righteousness. If it bad not this effect, it became but an empty sound, a Heathen might take the name of Christian. `‘ I solemnly say (observed the noble lord) I do consider that there is a great deal of paganism in this country." He believed that an established church was a great na tional blessing, it rendered religion connected with the state, and the Influence of power was compelled to support, advance, and che rish it. It was unfortunate that the state had dedicated more of its time to temporal than to spiritual concerns. He (Lord tiountcashel) conceived religion was infinitely the mere important of the two subjects—its object woe eternity—that of the other, time. He re peated he wished to ma the church to which be was attached all privity, and this consummation essild only be ranted by a reform of those abuses which he (Lord Mountesabsi) was rat tits had crept Into it from time to time.. His Leedship mitt betthibild Ann pro. coed to submit to their Lordships such facie so oltottkl jpstify in their eyes for bringing forward this mediae. fie should allude, in the first instance, to the rate e t the ReeLslamtleal law. Perhaps he might be told that an investigation bad &heady taken k place on that subject • but he (Lord Mountembel) had examined papas connected with that inquiry, which bad been laid before another house, and be saw that the wen of inquiet' confer , red merely related to the practice of kat Courts. lie ' should consider it his duty to make the Redesiastical laws at large the subject of investigation. Another objection wit:ch he hsd to the inquiry to which he alluded was that it only re. !owed to the Church in England, while It should be the ()Lica of his modes to embrace the hi= Church also. In Illustration oe the abuses of the Ecclesiastical law , he begged w call general of their Isedehips to a book on the subject, which he had lately, as well as on' a forma occasion, examined it. their borthhipa' library. It was " ilibeee's Codex," which h? be. Hewed to be the best compendium extant of Ectiesisedoal Law.— From this book be had extracted one or two points, odd= be ahat.ld submit to their lordships, and then ask them if such laws should ex ist in a Protestant country, or be tolerated by a La Protestant ph.. I L These Ecclesiastical Laws were divided into three dames. Hear.) The list was not observed at a ll ; the second was se rid s ss to be rendered ineffective; and the third was totally to the Protestant religion. (Hear, hear.) He had marked= ed passages In " Gibson's Codex" to which he wished to draw their Lord. ships' attention. In page 157, "it was ordained that the clergy should not exercise any secular jurisdiction." He left it to their lordships to judge whether this provision had been observed—whe ther the clergy did not exercise the office of magistrates. Again, the clergy were directed not to engage in any base or servile labour.— Now he (Lord Mountzeshel) mould not pretend to say what !about was base or servile, though he believed that the law was directed against all secular employment ; and that it was infringed he itsd no doubt, as lie latew many clergymen who were law agents Undoubtedly, an Act of Parliament had been directed against this abuse, but be knew it had bent successfully evaded. in pager ittl occurred a fleet= of rather a lau gh a ble nature, and their lordships would judge whether it had been neglected. (Hear, hear.)—ln that article it was ordered that no cler gyman should wear a coif or nightcap except one of silk or velvet. (Laughter.) He classed this amongst the ridiculous law., and he submitted the propriety of its abolition. Amongst these laws were found decrees of Popes and Popes' Legates which had been ingrafted on the ecclesiastical law, and had been received as such. By a constitution of Otho, it is commanded that Arehhititops and Biehops should reside on their several sees, and that they should celebrate mass upon holydays. If this was wrong, he (Lord M.) submitted that it ought to be expunged from the laws of our Pro testant Established Church. In page 191, canon 88, it was com manded that no plays, banquets, or entertainntents, should be &Bowel in any church, chapel, or churchyard. Now he (Lord M.) could not say that plays had been enacted in our churches, but then he bad heard datum oratorios--(laughter), where people paid for enter log the churches--musicians were engaged, and the whole affair WAN conducted like an opera. These things were certainly opposei to the laws. Now if those laws were really good they should L... obeyed ; if not they should not be allowed to hang over the heads and imaginations of people in this doubtful and embarrassing way. There were more of those anomalies to be found in this &c! .. shuttled Code ' which their lordsh'p s might cent:sine if they pleased. But he (lord Alountcashel) would repeat that, if we canons, they ought to be observed ; if anything wrong or ambiguous were found in them, it ought to be explained or ex • punged. Such a proceeding would be a blessing to the church, to the clergy, and to the laity, who would then know how to regu late their actions. He would then call their lordships' attention to another part of this question of church reform, he meant the state of parishes. This was a subject highly deserving of their lordships' attenti on . If religion deserved their considera tion y, it deserved it also i n d eta il. Parishes then should be p laced the superintendence of certain and adequate clerical guides, who should so conduct their flocks as that they might be ren &ied good people, dutiful subjects• and an honour to religion in their life and doctrines. He feared, however, that from various causes this desirable state of things had not been attained, and that people had in too many instances been left destitute of proper spiritual guidance; and yet, if their lordships valued Ireland and its amelioration, they would be most anxious for its religious instruction. The absence of this in Ireland, and even in England, was owing, among other causes, to a deficiency of churches. His lordship again disclaimed any intention of reflecting upon the conduct of individuals. He knew many persons connected with the church who felt the abuses which be wished to impress upon that house, who wished to correct them, but found themselves inadequate to such an undertaking. In being at all liable to the suspicion of reflecting censure, even indi. reedy, on such individuals, he felt himself placed in a moist illsinful • situation. But he knew that those on whom the government one: church devolved became endued with their high honours at an admixed age, when their 'mates must have suffered some diminution, and wINK . bat lltt experienced in the intricate affairs of public life, must have found it impossible to diem barnuts themselves of the trammels of inveterate habits and laws, and to give effect to ameliorations which their beans might dictate. He (ford Mountcashel) knew one right reverend pre. late who had laboured at a project of improvement, had expended money out of his own pocket to effectuate it, but was obliged, at len ' gth to relinquish his desires as impracticable. He therefore hoped that be should not be understood then as reflecting upon the general body of the clergy of the Established Church, whom, on the contrary, he admired and esteemed. At the same time be could not deny:that, in a great body of men, a few individuals wets found unfaithful to their duty. if be should allude harshly to those, he hoped he should not be interpreted as desiring to derogate from the merits of the majority of their brethren. Ho had higher motives— he had a sacred duty to perform—he bad a conscience to in stigate hint—be felt he had a Gob to whom he was answerable ; - stW when his soul should, on the judgment-day, appear before that dot, it should be with the satisfactory certainty of having acted on tdo momentous subject with the purest rectitude. Again then he hoped be should not be supposed to act from invidious W ings, but that he would be allowed tne credit of aiming sincerely at the benefit of a Christian r i l :z e, a nd the honour of his Glop. He bed said that there was a of churches; their lordships had sanctioned the truth of that by vote—for the coerced= of so great an evil votes which had been of the greatest service, and for which he felt most grateful. On this part of his subject he should call their attention to returns which bad been made in a report to the other house of the number of churches in Ireland in the year 1820. At that time then were only 1,156, and, though it was difficult to say bow much those could exactly hold, he estimated the average to be 160 persons to each church. The sum generally expended on such build. lags was 5001. this had latterly received some increase. With his own eyes he had seen that the churches in Ireland were too small. Too much of the money appropriated to them had been laid out on architectural decorations, and cut stone. When he knew that so much room was required by the humble Protestant congregations, be could not but blame this lavish expenditure of funds already too confined fur their most important object. He did not blame any but such was certainly the fact. Again, the churches were so% divided into pews, these were let to families who occupied %inners =pace, and, when absent, left vacancies from which the poorer were excluded. The noble Lord here stated a calculation founded on the number of Protestants of the establishment in Ireland, the number of churches in 1820, and the average amount of persons capable of tilling each, which left one million of persons unprovideil with a place of worship. (Hear, hear, hear.) On this calculation he (Lord idountauthel) menti oned that he had established his proposition respecting the necessity of additional churches in Ireland. In England the case was similar. The num ber of inhabitants in London was estimated at 1,400,000 ; and in a work of some authority which had lately come out, it had been cal culated that of these one million neglected the worship of OOD. At the same time the number of Dissenting places of worship were found to exceed those of the Established Church considerably. If be should to particulars on this he a d, h e found, from the returns of C r I l l:20 l that, in a district containing 4,940,000 inhabitants, there were 2,633 churches, and 3,400 dissenting houses. In the town of De vooport, containing 40,000 inhabitants, there were one church and three chapels of the Establishment, while there were twenty. three Dissenting houses. He considered that dier such facts (and many more of the same clarinet) might be produced, its taut said sufficient to prove that the subject deserved the highest attention of the house. He should now proceed to show the deficiency itt the number of the clergy of the established church. He found by the returns of 1820 that, out of 1,283 benefices in Ireland, only 880 bad had their incumbents resident, leaving a deficiency of mope than one-third. He (Lord M.) could not but find huh with such a system. He thought that where clergymen undertook the duties of their sacred office they should perform them ; they should comply with the engagements which they contracted and pledged themselves to at their ordination. At the same time he was far from maintaining that the principle of residence should not be relaxed in case of age and sickness ; but it too often happened that clergymen ae rated themselves from their /Rations without the leave deli= Bishops.
