TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. ROBINS, (Of Warwick House Regent.st?eet,) At Garraway's Coffee Moose, 'Change Alley, Grabill, On Taeaapar, the 14th of December, 1826; at Twelve .'Cloak, HOUSE OF LORDS, Damara & Lord MAYNARD presented a Petition from the Occupiers of Land in the Eastern Division of Essex, complaining of the present state of the Corn Laws.—Laid on the table. Lord BEXLEY presented a Petition from the same County against further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Earl BATHURST rose on the Order of the Day, and moved the second reading of the Bill for confirming the Order in Council for the Importation of Foreign Oats, &c. &c.—The Bill was ac cordingly read the mend time. Earl BATHURST then moved it be consmitted to-morrow, and gave notice of the third reading on Monday next.—Ordered.— The Lords were also summoned for Monday. Lord KING said, as it was probably the last time during this obscure Session of Parliament, that be should have the opportunity of presenting any more Petitions against the Corn Laws, be should therefore take advantage of the time allowed, as he had several .till to present. Some of the Petitions very properly prayed fur a speedy revision of those laws; and he used the word property, be cause he had seen years pass by, without anything being done op the' subjeat. He had been told during three or tow years that goose thing would be done, but an objection had always been started for the porpole of postponing diecoeshni upon the question. The objec tion last year was, that it could sot be brought forward oo the eve of a dissolutio• of Parliament, and the objection this year was, that' it could not be entered into on the eve of the Christmas vacation. He thought a Speedy discussion on the question, was necessary; it life was short, a nd l eg i s l at i on on t h e su bj ect very long. The Noble Earl on the opposite side of the House, not then present, had assured them that a plan f o r r e vi s i ng t h e C or n Laws was in contemplation, and he had no doubt such was the case. He believed many plans were in contemplation, and be could not help comparing the Tres sury to the Chamber of Abbe Seyes,who had a Bureau with certain pigeon -holes, from which he drew out plans for the establishment of Constitution best suited to the moment. No doubt the Ministers had many of tins* pigeon -boles from which they drew forth their plans, and be had no doubt the Corn plan would be equally opera tive. The Noble Lard then presented Petitions from Newark, Birmingham, and Kidderminster, complaining of excessive ten don, kept up by the existing Corn Laws.—The Petitions were laid on the table.

The other For prhiting dot Petition was discharged and it was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. A BERCROMBT moved the issuing of a New Writ for a Member to serve in Parliament for the City of Cork, in the room of Mr. C. H. Hutchineen, deceased.—Ordered. Mr. ABERCROMBY said, he had also to move that a New Writ be issued for a Member to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Einsifo in the room of Lord Duncannon. The &misnames upon which he made this motion were, that Lord Duocsanoa hay lag been returned for the County of Kilkenny, and also for tilt Borough of Bansff, his LoribLi. p load made his election to hit for the Cooney of Kilkenny. lie anticipated no obioetion to this the usual coolie of proceeding. The SPEAKER said, that the House would, as it always did, take the step proposed upon the responsibilky of the Honourable Member who stated the facts. A New Writ was accordingly ordered. Mr. JAMES BROWNE gave notice, that we. Oar the boll , days he should move for a Return of Papers reladve to terrain Police Reports made in the County of Mayo. BOHAI' CATHOLIC PRIM& . Mr. MOORE presented a Petition from Mr. Emanuel Hutchinson Orpen, stating that the Petitioner exer cised the privilege of a British subject in laying before the House his views of the state of Ireland. chiefly with reference to a particular subject—namely, the power exercised by the Roman Catholic Priesthood, of excom municating and denouncing the subje:ts of their Church. The Petition stated a variety of facts, that are matters of notoriety, and refined to several past and existing evils, that he considered as flowing from this power. He said, that this Petition opened a wide field for ob servation, into which, however, he would not enter, as he anticipated that 'many of the topics adverted to, and suggested by, the Petition would, in the course of the ,Session, receive the serious consideration of the House. But this he might be permitted to observe, that the power complained of by the Petitioner was of a more formidable nature, not confined in its operations to spiritual censures, but extending to the infliction of temporal injuries, of the most grievous description. It was a power, the mere possession of which, without its I exercise, created an influence in the Roman Priesthood almost Incredible, and he considered it as one of the many striking characteristics of that Braised system of religion and politics * which placed the Roman Catholic subjects of this realm in such a position with respect to the &ate, as rendered it impossible for them, in his opinion, to give any security fur the due exercise of political power, if ever such should be granted to them—a position that mainly contributed to form the conviction long entertained by him, that on no terms can further concessions be safely made to the Roman Catholics. Mr. S. RICE did not rise to object to the reception of the Petition, but he could not suffer one part of it to pass without contradiction. It was most offensive in its character; and he should not be discharging his duty to his constituents if he sat quiet while such obser vations as those used by the Hon. Member were deli-, 'erect in that House. The Petition stated :bat the Ca tholic Priesthood of Ireland possessed the power of excommunication, and that they had lately exercised it in a manner beyond that in which they were justified in using it. He would say nothing upon that question, because it was already in a course to be examined and decided by an Election Committee of that House, wheie evidence would be taken upon oath, and not statements contained in a Petition which any individual might choose to lay before Parliament. The Hon. Member had slated his regret that religion should bare been com blued with politics. He (Mr. Rice) regretted as much as the Hon. Member did, that religion should be corn• bined with politics—(Hear, bear). He regretted it because religion was degraded, and politics were perverted by such an association— (Hear, hear). He strongly recommended the Hon. Member and the House to keep their minds unprejudiced, and not allow them *Ayes to be swayed in tYse'r judgment by the statements of indivi duals contained in Petitions, when they saw that there was a war iminted out by the Constitution by which these charges might b e nvestigated and decided by Parl iament. Mr, J. GRATTAN exprer.ed his regret that such a Petion had been presented to the 11' use. He believed that the Catholic Priesthood had not interfered to the extent which had been stated, and' that ti.eir conduct was justifiable. How was it possible for politics to be kept separate from religion, when religion was made the ground of their political exclusion from the privileges of the State! He was sorry the Hon. Member had taken such an occasion for delivering a tirade spinet the Catholic Clergy. He believed that our Clergy bad exercised the same interference as far as their religion al lowed theti. Colunet TORRENS etpressed his surprise at one senlimeet which had fallen from the Hon. Member who presented the Peti tion. He alluded to the principle of requiring seeseity from the Catholics. What security could be equal to that sirloins from the attachment which so large a body must feel for institutions whom privileges they enjoyed in common with all other classes in the State? If the principlelaid down by the Hon. Member were folly acted upon, it must lead to the dismemberment of the empire. The prayer of the Petition was then read. It prayed that any Ptiest who denounced any Individual, or pronounced any anathema or curse against him, might be made liable to a penalty of 101. pay able to the party. Mr. Moose moved that the Petition be printed. Mr. S. RICE said be would put it to the Hen. Member whe ther be would have the statements in the Petition printed and ass to the other side of the water to excite all the unpleasant animosity and alarm which could not fail to attend such a course ? He en treated the Hon. Member to consider whether this was net a case calling for the exercise of some discretion and caution. Mr. MOORE said, that in some shape or other the Petition ought to receive the consideration of the House. It was not for him to say how far the Petitioner might be able or disposed to bring forward evidence at that Bar in support of the statements contained in his Peti tion ; but of this he had no doubt, that the evil com plained of was one of general operation,and one cal ling for a general remedy. If the Hon. Gen'. who had last spo - ken took a right view of the subject, he would be foremost in I correcting the evil against which the P et i t i on was di ' rected. Ile denied that he had pronounced, as the Hon. Gentleman opposite bad alleged, a tirade against the Roman Catholic Clergy. In the exercise of the power of excommunication, be gave them full credit for believing they were directed by a sense of duty ; but it was of this persuasion, with respect to duty, that he chiefly com plained. It was not to be borne, that any portion of his Ma jesty's subjects should be exposed to serious temporal in. Juries, by the doing edam which another portion conceived it to be their duty to do. He could not help expressing some surprise at the warmth with which the Honourable Member for Ipswich re. preached him foe advancing that the Roman Catholics would not give security ifor the due exercise of political power. It was, on his part, the fair declaration sit a political principle, and the honest avowal of aspolidad trebles.% which be had the concurrence of some of thb ablest Statesmen of theil. He mold assure the Itenourallor lieniber ay ,It was an avowid which be should arm feel ashamed. Mr. S. RICE (having examined the Petition) thought he could convince the Hon. Member, or at least the House, that the Petition ought not to be printed. It contained statements of the torture of individuals, the burning of whole families, and all the massacres and bloodshed which had recently taken place in Ireland, many of which—he would appeal to the Right Hon. Secretary of Ireland whether he was not correct—many of which were entirely unconnected with religious mat tens. The murder of the Franks had been declared by the Attorney-Genend n• Ireland, in his place in Par liameni, to have had no reference whatever to religious feelings. After making these statements, the Petition went on to attack the conduct of the Catholic Clergy, and to call for a new code of laws against them, evi dently intending to connect them with these enormities. He therefore regretted that the Petition had been pre• seated at all, but hoped that the Hon. Member would not persist in having it printed. He detested this re viving of old animosities, and the recurrences to past enoruddeson either side—(Hear, hear). But if that book was to be opened, lett it not be supposed that they were to hear one side of the put alone —(Har, heat). They would again have to recur to all the black and bad parts of the history of Ireland.which every good Irishman, desired to forget—(Hear, hear). This Petition, if printed and cir culated in Ireland, would be like a firebrand thrown into the 'country; and be again entreated the Hon. Member, while he had Oast time, as hi valued the peace of Ireland, to wi t hdraw hi s motion to drat. Mr. GOULBURN said be thought the Hon. Gent. bad taken a tone of expression far beyond what the occasion required. It must be remembered, that when Petitioners came to the Bar of that House with matters of complaint, they did not express themselves with the same temperance and caution with which they (the Members) delivered their opinions. And if he were asked whether he approved of all the contents of thii Petition, he should have no hesitation in answering in the negative—(Hear). He conceived it to be the duty of every honest man to consider the question to which it referred with the utmost calmness and deliberation. But it mast be remembered, that other Petitions were constantly received in which other sentiments and statements were expressed with equal warmth and violence. If the House were prepared to say that they would not receive any such Petitions, then he was ready to concur in refusing to print this. But if they were to select this one in particular, and distinguish its reception from others equally violent and exaggerated on the other side of the question, then he thought they would be creating quite an opposite effect in Ireland to that intended by the lion. Member. Mr. ABERCROMBY said that tl e Right Hon. Gentleman had altogether mistaken the coutte recom mended by his Hon. Friend. What his Hon. Friend asked, and what he hoped the Hon. Member would still grant, was, that the printing of the Petition should be suspended for the present, b, cause it contained state ments likely to make an undue impression u l on the minds of those who would afterwards have to decide upon the matter to which it referred. It should be re membered that the case about to come before the Election Committees was of a perfectly novel descrip tion, and it was peculiarly desit able that the minds of those who had to decide it should be kept free from prejudice, when they had none of the landmarks of precedent and former decisions to guide them. He considered that no question was so important in its claims upon the attention of the new Parliament as the case of Ireland. He had been twenty years in Perlis. ment, and he had attended every discussion of the sub. ject in which Ireland was must interested, always voting in favour of the Catholics. Since the last Session he had been in Ireland ; and float what he had seen there,
