gg e . Ceezez, in explanatton, the Petition was read, and ordered to be primed. SIIPPLT, Tbe House resolved Itself into the Committee. . • Lord F. L. GOWER moved that a sum not exceeding 9,0001. be granted for the Society for Discountenancing Vice in Ireland. Mr. SPRING RICE should not oppose the grant, nor suggest soy alteration in this vote, or that for the Kildare Pace Society, as be thought the matter was safe in the hands of the Government, anct that the present was not the best tithe to agitate the question. Lord F. L. GOWER fully entered into the views that pre- Vented the Hon. Gentleman from entering into any discussion at present. He thought the Goveruntent was justified at present in declining to state their future views on the subject: Mr. IIUME said he was extremely ready to concur in the opi nion of his Hon. Friend, because he saw a disposition in the Noble Lord to attend •to the subject of Ireland. He loped the Noble Lord would pay some attention to the expense of the enormous distribudun of Bibles in Ireland, which he was confident already amounted to two Bibles for every person who could read in Ireland. Mr. TRANT said he must enter his protest against the Repora of the Education Committee of Ireland, as it almost excluded Scripture from education. The Roman Catholic Clergy were shocked at the circulation of the Scriptures in Ireland. The Hoo. +Andaman read from Dr. Doyle's pamphlet, the story of a poor' -man, who having received a Bible from the Lady on who., estate hr lived, took it at night with a tongs and burled it in hicsarden. 'n many parts of Ireland the existence of the Bible was unknown, nd it was quite necessary that it should be made known, that the topic might know what they swore by. Mr. FR A NK LAN 0 LEWIS thought the Right Hon. Gentle . . ten had greatly misrepresented thrreport of the Commissioners f Education, when he said thej excluded the Scriptures from --lucation—the very contrary was the fact—the Commissioners - 4 . d the use of the Bible as indispensable •to religious egueatimi. - Mr. THANT ran out of the House and soon returned with a copy of a Report; which caused great laughter. Mr. PEEL earnestly advised the House to admit the votes of ' the present year to be taken as they were proposed, by which no one would be pledged to any particular course respecting Irish edu - catiosk.•."-. ..0 . • • : ' Mr. M OORE would support the votes of the preasset ; year, with; out, however, pledging himself to continue the grant to Maynooth, or to withdraw it from the Kildare place AssOciation. Colonel SI ATHORP IC said, he meant to oppose the grain to, )laynooth Catholic College. The Resolution was agreed to. 4'25,000 was voted for the Society for Educating the Nor in On the Resolution for granting 8,900 for the Catholic College of Ilaynooth, • Lod MANDEVILLE said he thought the grant required die . mission. He though; it was directly contrary to the principle laid down by the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Peri) in peopos log the CathOlic Relief rim, on which occasion he said it , was not' •'•tatended in and manner to establish or support the Catholic Reif ' lion. If it was wended to make the Catholics loyal, it was bribing them to their duty. It was also doing evil that good mighteorne, as it was giving money to educate men ,for the dissemination of doc trines, which the Members of that House held in just,abborrence. So strongly did be feel on the subject that he would divide the Committee against the grant. If the Ministers continued to make this grant, they would draw down on themselves and their country the wrath of Autumn Gon. Alt. PERCIVAL said he hoped he was justified in voting with his Majesty's Ministers on this question under the present circum. ;stances of the country; but while he lived he should never, under any circumstances, vote again fur such an iniquitous grant. . Sir R. INGLIS laid, he could not understand how any man could conscientiously pay a man : to teach others in the name of tea, doctrines which he believed to be erroneoes. Colonel SIPTHORPR perfectly agreed in every thing that fell from the Noble Lord (Mandeville), and would oppose any grant to such an ungrateful set of men as the Catholic Clergy of Ireland. After some further observations front Mr. Ross, Mr. M. Frrs •UAL.D, Mt. MAIwILL, and ~Jr. SPENCE, Mr. Secretary PEEL said that this vote had been granted for the last 36 years, and he could see no good reason why it should now be discontinued in the very middle of the year, when, on the faith of Parliament, the expenses of the year bad been already in coned. One Hon. Member bad offered to withdraw his opposition, -if he received a promise that it would not be brought forward an either year; but that promise he (Mr. Peel) would not give, for if ft came forward hereafter, it would be perfectly competent for ,Parliament to deal with it. After a few words from Lord Maitoniene. Mr. C. Pecuast, Sir Romer hosts, Mr. Taavaz, Mr. F. Lewis. Mr. H. Gaarzaff, Mr. Famous; and Lord F. L. Gowea, The House divided, when there appeared— Few the motion, 118 ; Against it,34. Majority, 104. The House then resumed, and the Report was brought up. ' The Tadzies Relief (Scotland) Bill went through a Committee. The House resumed ; the Report was brought up, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Labourers Wages' Bill was postponed till Thursday next. The Exchequer Bills Funding Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pall', Mr. HUME entered into considerable details, in order to show that by this Bill a lows accrued to the public account of upwards of 600,00(1. He ( Mr. Hunie) concluded with moving an Amendment, embodying his observations. condemning the extravagant character of the proceeding, and that it was unnecessary while there was a surplus revenue. • The -CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the transaction. He considered that the best and most economical course bad been pursued. Mr: MADER LT said he must repeat his statement of a for Mer night, that the transaction was extravagant, and a losing one. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had in reality purchased an annuity of 121. 104. for which he had before paid 141. IN.—that was 2/. loss to the public. That was the character of the transaction ; but whether it was ruinous or nut, while there was a surplus revenue there was no occasion to fund Exchequer Bills. They should have been paid as far as the surplus would go. If the Chancellnfol the Exchequer's plan were so good, it would be followed up perhaps next year; but he would venture to prophecy that it would not be followed up. If the Right llon. Gentleman got out of this pre . sikament it would not b e repeate d. • Mr. hiONCK also condemned the traneaction as most extra vigant.—Sirangers were ordered to withdraw ; but Mr. H UME said he would not press his resolution to a division. Negatived without a division.—The Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion that the Sinking Fund Bill be read a third time. Mr.HUME said he must express his approbation al the •Bilh They were now about to adopt that system from which they ought never to have departed. It was the result of the Finance, Com mime:: He butted no more of a Sinking Fund would be found in this or any other country. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they did not get rid of the Sinking Fund—it was re-established—but on the principle of Mr Pitt. Mr. MA BE ELY denied that the new system was any thing like Mr. Pitts. This justly applied real surplus revenue; it did not provide a fund to accuntmulate. Mr. Pitt's system was fallacy— this was reality. lie, however. thought the surplus might More been more usefully applied to the reduction of taxes. Bill read a third time and passed. The House went into a Committee on the East India Offices Bill The CFI A NCELLOR of the -EXCHEQUER wart for limiting the Bill to the offices where the Crown had the nuniltiation to (Akre in the East Indies. The operation of the Bill to be prospective . — not to have retrospective operation. He concluded wits moving the amendment accordingly. • . • I a Mt wix led an. rod 111 r. BARING bad tio . ubjecrionto the amendlnent, except that it exempted. an exiting case. What hat dship could it do to allow the Bill to apply to Mr. Lushingtou's case? Mr. FERGUSON was glad that some amendment was to be proposed, Mr. P. THONISON said he was awpre of the feeling of the unfortunate constituents of the Governor of Madras ( Mr. Locking. tat); and if the Bill did not include his case, did it 130 e impose a severe penalty on Canterbury? Mr. Secretary PEEL spoke in the support of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's amendment, supposing it to go far enough. The principle applied to Crown appointments ought to be extended. To make the Bill retrospective would be establishing a bad precedent, which might_he used unfairly to vacate seats. Mr. C. WYNN agreed that it would be better to adhere to the principle of the Act of Anne. He admitted the dangerous cha racter of the precederit of vacating a seat ; but would there be any difficulty to name a time by, which Mr. Loshington could retain or decline his seat Mr. BRIGHT approved the Bill, but was against making the exceptions; be thoudht the Act of Anne applied to the use. Mr. BARING would take the opinion of the Committee as to whether the Bill shotild be retrospective. Mr. BA NKES said, as there was some doubt about the ap pllcation of the Act of Anne, perhaps it would be best to postpone the Bill. wig aft Mr. PEEL spoke to the like effect, and thought there ought to he a Committee to search for precedents. It was not cleak now whether Mr. Lushiogton kad not already vacated. Mr. BROUGHA M spoke to the like effect. It would be best to determine the real meaning of the Act of Anne. At all events, a Bill of retrospective operation was odious and unseemly, and was only justified by urgent necessity. Debate postponed jif Monday and Committee to search for Precedent. appointed.

The Corporation of the City of London came before the House of Lords in forma pouperis. Being incapable of carrying into effect the engagement it hid entered into in 1823, to complete London Bridge and its approaches, it had come to Par liament to ask. for another Million. Before granting this sum, ParliaMent very properly and reasonably re quired an account of the manner in which the Corpo ration administers; its property.—This the Corporation refuses. In this, we think that the City authorities have been ill-advised. If they are, as they admit, in a state of bankruptcy, it becomes more necessary to investigate their affairs; and this certainly ought to be known before a grant is made to them, which would have the effect of razing the public to the extent of £60,000 a year for tliir ty or forty years to come. "If their Lordships," said Lord DURHAM, "were to allow themselves to be bearded by these Aldermen and Common. Council, they could never expect to obtain the information which they may f equire upon any future occasion." And again, observed his Lordship, " was there any body who doubted the power of their Lordships to make the Order which they had made, or to enforce it afterwards? Was there any person who meant to assert that there existed any power in this country greater th4n the power of the High Court of Parliament o.i the sug gestion of his Grace the Duke .of W ELLINGTON (who thought the 'question of considerable impor tance, as it did not relate solely to the Bill. before the House, but referred to the private property *of all Corporations) it was agreed that the further considem., tion of the subject should be adjourned to Monday, and that there be an instruction to the Committee, when they meet on that day, to adjourn over. In our report of the debates in the House of Com mons our Readers will find attractive matter on tl : el Shipping Interests, the Small Note Currency, the Irish Estimates, and the Bill introduced by Mr. A. BARING, to vacate the xi-ate - of individuals who, hating accepted offices under the East - I ndia Company, in India, are thereby incapable of attending to their Parliamentary duties. On the last .subject a Select Committee was appointed, to search the journals for precedents, and to report to the House. Among the grants to Ireland are L'9,000 for the support of the Society for the Dis cnuragenielit of Vice, £25,000 to the S. tier} for Pro mottng the Education of the Poor, and 1:8,928 to the I:Oman Catholic College of Maynooth. On this last resolution rather a warm debate took place: " Lord MAND6VILLI opposed the grant, and expressed hit deter-: 'lunation to divide the Committee. To agree to such a vote, would, in his opinion, pledjje the Mouse .to support a school for the educa tion of those who are bound to disseminate the principles of a reli gion which they declared to be founded In error; and he thought if they persisted in such a course, they would bring down the wrath of GOD on themselves and on the whole country." " Mr. Secretary Pan defended the grant ; and utterly denied that the slightest imputation of wickedness or iniquity could justly be thrown on the supporters of it. From its commencement, thirty-six years ago, under the auspices of Mr. Pitt, it had been continued by every successive Government, however desirous to maintain the legitimate ascendancy of the Protestant Government. Not to agree to it in the present instance would be to violate the faith which Government, under the sanction of Parliament, bad pledged to the individuals interested." Sir ROBERT INoLis expressed his sorrow on the occa• sion; and Mr. TRANT suggested that no new scholars should be taken into the College, .with a view to its gradual extinction. From all that passed laic night on the subject, it is likely, we think, that this will be the last grarit to the Maynooth College. In the meantime, upon a division, the resolution was carried by a majority of 104-118 being for the motion, and 14 against it. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed the Freeholders of the coapty of Clare, announcing his intention of becoming a candidate for the now vacant seat of Parliamentary representation ; and soirit of the Irish Papers pretend to Mate ascertained that be will be returned, if not unaui mously, at least by a great majority of votes. It is not known, however, whether he will be opposed by Mr. FITZGERALD or not; but we think there is very little ' doubt, it Me. FITZGERALD desires it, that he will be re turned for the county. The greater part of his own property, and of the properties of his family connec tions, lie in Clare ; he has alwayserepresented the county since he sat in Parliament ; and lastly, he has always voted for the Emancipation of his countrymen. These are all powerful considerations in his favour, and may "rove more than a match against the pretensions and popularity yen of Mr. O'CoNtarLt.. By the Gazelle de France to the 21st instant, we find that the life of the Qum: of SPAIN was despairei of and the other paragraphs of that print consist wholly in accounts of the marcbing and counter-marching of the Russians and the Turks. An article of intelligence from Odessa, dated 28th April, says that " A coonderable convoy, with troops (4,000 men, it is said) and provisions, wilt sail melt week for tht Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. It seems that the Turks arrive from Natalia in great force, ad vancing to meet General Paskewitsch, and lay waste every thing on their way !" The Meuager des Commerce informs us, that all the accounts from Grtece announce that Missolonghi must soon fill. The Greeks intend to blow up all the works of the fortresses they may take in Livadia, to prevent any re-action on the part of the Turks. 0; 5,500 French who will remain in the Morea, one battalion will be in garrison at Pans, the remainder at Navarino and Modon. To these articles of foreign intelligence we may be permitted to add a rumour in certain circles at home—one of greater moment and weight, ina,much as it was very generally talked of in Parliament last night —which is, that Admiral MAt.comst has received in structions to protect all British merchantmen who may wish to break the Russian blockade of the entrance of the Dardanelles. This is business-like; and we may look for accounts of a collision very shortly.

Both sea and land, from Cairo to St. Petersburgh, seem to be in a state of misrule and ferment. ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 3. It Is still feared that the Russians will blockade our harbour. The auxiliary corps for the Sultan, the formation of which has been going on for some months put at Cairo with great activity, will, it is said, very soon commence its march through Syria, and consists of 12,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, or a, others affirm, of 20,000 men in alt Mabninud Rey, formerly the Pacha Kiaja Rey, has the chief command.

STATE OFSPITALFIELDS. • It was much' apprehended, on Thursday night, that on the return of the journeymen silk weavers horn their Meeting at Temple Mills, in Essex, to Bethnal•grcen, they would, in consequence of the Magistrates' inter ference, and the excitation which they had exhibited on that and on the previous day, resort to those destructive practices which have lately been noticed. We are happy, however, to say that such were not resorted to, and, by the judicious arrangements and prudent advice of the delegates, the vast assemblage separated, after walking into town in a body quietly. • Yesterday morning, in fulfilment of a Resolution passed on the preceding evening, namely, " that the works of those masters who refused t i o give within ten per cent. of the book prices of .1824 should be forth with staled up," the weavers were to be seen in gri ups through the uistrict, preparing their tape and•wsx"ior their intended operations.
