Lord FEV PASHA M presented s Petition against granting further Concessions to the Renton Catholics from the city of York. Ordered to lie on the table. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a Petition from Horsham, in Surrey, against the Catholic Claims. The Right Reverend Prelate .said, as be had before stated, he did nut concur in the petitioners' prayer. Be th e he sat down Ise would take the opportunity of cor recting a misunderstanding that prevailed respecting some words which, on a former occasion, fell from a Right Reverend Prelate, a telation of hip, in presenting a petition to their Lordships. (We understood the Right Reverend Prelate to allude to the Bishop of Chester.) That !tight Reverend Prelate was under 'stood to have said that all clergymen who were adverse. to the Catholic Claims were inacces s ible to reason and untutored by experience. It there 'Were any Noble Lords now is the House who were peso' on that oc casion, they must know that such *ere not his Right Reverend Relation's words. His worts were these," 1 now feel confident that those who have l•lieved the clergy of the Established Church to be inaccessible to reason and ante4chable by esprerirnce, will perceive by this petition that they were mistaken." The opinion to which •he (the Mishap of•Wincherter) had come was the result of winos dirliberxtion. It for one moment he thought there was any ground to fear that the Homan 'C4IIIOIiC religion watt going to be established in this country, he, for one, would strenuously oppose' the 'measure of Government; but le thought that ther , esiated a great difference between political union and religious onion. • •• 4 - • (YNEILL promoted- Petitions against granting further eenceeices from the town elf Carriekferem, st4frena Lira*. in the musty of Antrlm.—Ordered to lie on the Lind CARRINGTON presented a similar Petition from High Wickham—Ordeied to lie on the table.

Si, W.

(Colonel Sibthorpe) did not wish to take the advantage which the Hon. Baronet had done the other night of ' his absence to make remarks on the petition. The Hon., Baronet would, he had no doebt, be peculiarly interested in this petition, as emanating from a parish of which he himself might be said to be the proprietor, possess ing two-thirds of the district as Lord of the Manor.— As it was his intention to make some allusions to the petition, and as he knew•the Hon. Baronet would be ready to display his wit on the occasion, he should read the petition. The Hen. Baronet had stated chat the pe titioos which came from the county of Lincoln, many of which he (Colonel Ssbthorpe) had the honour of pre. tenting, were got up in holes and corners, throggh the influence of the Clergy; and that signatures were Iwo cured for them by haviking them about fichu Image to house. Now he was authorised -to state, be a letter which accompanied his petition, and which, he 'Was proud to say, came from a near relition Of 'his' own, the Parson of the parish of Wishiogborough, that'of a population of twelve hundred persons•twenty alone had refused to sign this petition. There were no Crosses nor no boys' signatures to it ;and those who had signed it had done so voluntarily, and were not in the least actuated by the Minister.. Amongst them were the names of fifteen resident freeholders and many persons of property. This petition was a proof of the genera) feeling of the middle classes in the county of Lincoln; The Hon. Baronet bad stated that those petitions were got up. through the influence of the Clergy and the Champion of England, puving him in connection with Dr. Eady. He was happy to say that Dr. Eady did not possess any influence in the cminty of Lincoln, and he drew a wide distinction between his Friend, the Champion of England, who came forward to preserve a pure and sound Constitution, and the Hun. Baronet's friend, Dr. Eady, who came forward to preserve 101-1 1 pure and unsound constitutions. As this petition was r signed by the Hon. Baronet's own tenants, he would not, of coutse, attempt to impugn their respectability. Sir W. INGILBY explained why he had not risen, the other night, in the Hon. Gentleman's absence. He had been challenged to prove that undue influence had been übed to procure signatures to these petitions. With respect to the present pet;tton it was, he believed, signed by some of• his tenants; but he never interfered with them: He left them to be guided by their parson, who, he was sure, directed them to that course which he con. sidered best, though he (Sir W.lngilby) differed in opi nion with him. He contended, however, that 'be Ma► jority of the inhabitants of the county of Liam:*lo were in favour of Emancipation. Sir G. H EATHCOTE had received a letter the other _ day from a person in the county of Lincoln, in which there was not one word of any excitement existing on the present prospect of affairs; but, on the contrary, expressing congratulation that the Measure was so speedily to be carried. He begged to express his thanks to the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite (Vlr. Peel) for the noble part be had taken, and to astir , e him that though he might have lost some friends he had gained others not less sincere. Mr. CHAPLIN did not wish to say what the feeling of the majority of the county of Lincoln was, but merely that gieat excitement didirot exist there.—The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. KING presented a memorial from the North Cork Millis, ogainst'the Bill now before the House for; :he reduction of the militia. Sir JAMES SCARLETT rose to present a Petition from the Members of the English Bar in favour of the Claims of the Roman Catholics. He had the honour presenting a similar Petition in 182.5, signed by 150 members of the &i l llish Bar; and a like Petition in 1827, signed by 200 persons practising at the Elglish liar. The present Petition was signed by 324 persons, and contained the names of almost all the Sergeants, Kwg's Counsel, and practising B misters known in the metropolis, and nearly all the talent and professional reputation to be found in the profession. He felt vett pleasure in stating how entirely he participated ill the feelings of the Members of the profession, who, from the nature of their pecubaiendies, were iied aware of the principles of the : Constitution, and whose habits and interests led them on all occasions to" defend ir. The Petitioners expressed their gratitude to his Majesty's Ministers for the measures they had introduced for the settlement of the Catholic Question; and in this sentis ment he (Sir J. Scarlett) entirely concurred.; and he might be allotted to say that, in his opinion, there were not any Gentlemen in or out of that Weise better qualified from knowledge, acquirements, nature of their studies, ants their habits of reflection, to form s just opinion on the subject.—Tire Petition was ordered to be printed. _ _ Similar Petitions were presented by Mr. P from a parish in Cornwall; and by Air. Canna. from the Unitarian Dis senters of Portsmouth.' Petitions against any further COMMIIOIII to the Roman Carboy lies were presented by Mr. Catarten. from two parishes in the county of Lincoln; by Mr. MUNDT, from Brampton, Derby ; by Sir Buie Haavey. from &ansford. county of Ram; and by Lord blaweoenums. from a parish in the county of C&IllarV011. Majoc SINCLAIR, in presenting a similar Petition float a parish in the county of Caithness, stated that he could not concur with the prayer of the pe titinneis. having always hired in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. A. DAWSON, in presenting Petitions from the Roman gatholscs from a parish in the county of Ar magh, and a parish in the county of Louth. praying for the repeal of' the chiabilities affecting the Romah Cabo. •lics, took occasion to . express his disapprobation of the Bill for disfranchising the 40s. freeholders. Mr. SLANEY presented a Petition from Magistrates and Overseers of the Poor in the counties of Gloucester and Somerset in favour of the Bill for preventing the payment* the wages of able-bodied labourers out of the Poor.istes. Mr. W. SMITH said a few words In support of the Petition. Lord G: CAVENDISH presented a Petition. (tom Chesterfield in favour of Emancipation. He stated that the Petition was signed by about 500 poisons, amongst whom were nine Magistrates, being the whole .of the Magistrates resident in the diitrici. Aiitithet Petition against Concession was presented• by his Honourable Colleague (Mr. Mundy) on a Isitraer evening; 'bat he believed the present Petition .repreiented the sense of the more intelligent and, influential, if not the most numerou., class of the population in the aeighbouihood of Choate' field. It had been Vexed the . entiaCatholic Petition was agreed to at a public meeting.

Mr. MUNDY said he did not feel disposed to offe, r any opposition a or to make any . rebsarks upon the cc. spectability of the signaturei to the petition presented by the Noble Lord. He'had no doubt that the stn e meats Made by the Noble Lord as to this petition woe pc:reedy correct; but, in reletence to the petition which he had the honour to preietit tile other evenitig, might be alliivred to say, that it bore no tiurierical c tnpa t ?ts with that now presented by the N.,ble Lord, to? the pe titinn pterented by him (Mr. Mundy) had Above four 'thousand signatures. Al to the. interruption Wtiih a Magistraie had received at the Meeting'ailuded to by the ?Coble Lunt; the fact was, that the Gentleman al luded to came forward at the commencement of the proceedings to explain bhy he had refused to attend to a requisition, presented to him to call the tweeting; but it was Considered by those who conduCted the ineeiilig -that it wriuld'not be in milieu) ewer into such ezPl i s. nations Untilfbe . resolutions Were disposed •f.

Mr. Secretary PEEL tow, pursuant to notice, to .ssen for leave is bring in a Bill, the object f which WAS is regulate the office of Justice of the Peace in counties at large, and to facilitate the dist:barge of the duties imposed upon t tote functionally,. No i•ne had more ample and complete opportunities of observing the manner in which Justicesot the Peace us this coun ter discharged the important duties of their odic.. than had the Secretary of State for the 11-me Dept' meat, and with the most perfect sincere', he bo:e test away to the exemplary manner in which the Alagesteacy per fainted their duties; and be hoped be should ,:ever see the day when the country would be deployed of their valuable services by any sunlit of 0 cif duties to 4ti her hands. It was impossible that they could be transferred to any hands capable of discharging them with moss general satisf.ction than those to w.:icit they wee al. ready entrusted. Tire object, then. of the Bi.l which he proposed to intro..uce would be to facilitate t;.e es erase of the duties, and life the laws which applied to them, but by no meant. to trench upon the existing privileges. of the Magistracy. Them were in all, be believed, twei.ty -theft Acts which related to the qualifications and jurisdiction of Magituates. Tne en accosts,' in these were nuaserou,, and some of them complex. He proposed to proceed as had been dime with criminal laws last Session, namely, to unite them all in o e general statute, repealing such portions as, upon consideration, might appear to be requirecc and snaking such additions as the lapse of time might have rendeted necessary. He would not then enter into any ,minute details; they would be best seen when the Bill came to be printed. For its subsequent stages he would fix a tense sufficiently remote to allow of the lulledt consideration. It might not be amiss, however, that he should then lay before the House an outline lit the intended measure. The qualification ef Magssuates had been fixed, is t e reign of Geori,a 11. •at 1001. year. Settee that, the value t f money had so much changed, and propttty so much increased, that mitt the slightest difficulty could be experienced in finning per sons possessed of niuch higher qualifiLati:4l thin Abet, and it had been considered highly espedient that the ansoutst,shoold be ratted from one to thiee hundred pounds. ibis, 14 course, was not intended us apply to local Magistrates—it only WAS to affect Justices if the Peace Sr counties at large. 4t was also intended to abolish the distinction betty. en Justices of the Quorum and Justices of the Peace: the necessity lot such a des tiacoon had long since passed away. Anotto r provi sion which he intended to introduce was one for enabling Magistrates to compel the attenda• ce of material wit nesses ; and he would likewise propose that the Ma gistrate who issued a summons should Atincl pet somtlly • to hear and assist in determining the matte, in dispute. His BiU would also mac pr..viseon for the revilers .. holding of Petty Sessions, and it would contain a gene ral form of conviction. The want of that had been hetetofure very.seriously felt, and even felt by the Le gislature itself, for in every new kit a teeth lasi of conviction was always to be given, and lot offences against the common law no settled form Will extant. These defects he proposed to remedy. As respected fines and penalties,.he proposed that reunite shtuld be regularly made to the Clerk of the Peace, and he would introducca provision for regulating- the lies tis be re• ceived by the Clerks ofthe-Justices themselves. These, besides the consolidatint of the Acts above referred to, constituted the principal provisions of the 11111. He pre sented it to dut Souse wisb the rester confidence, k having been prepared., wish thensaistance•et his Bight' .Hon. Friend (Mr. Hobfisouse).
