1 1 l 'Want, as it would prevent the'decision of • yr .sestion during the present Session. He did net a ides the Resolutions adopted by the other House so Tbiletionable as other Noble Lords seemed to do. At i n te rns it would be better to pass the measure, which ri d ir be amended at future times than to do anything q Z c h woeld prevent a settlement of thequestion before t he close of the Session. ROSSLYN wished to know whether the Noble E st i opposite still intended to consent to an inquiry .pi e b s hould be limited to the price at which foreign te m could be imported? Considering the seasonable san er in which the Resolutions had been brought foet id in the other House, he should be unwilling to deride se a s nce whether further inquiry should be ne logy, be wished to do nothing that could delay d e cision. Eel BATHURST begged not to be understood as i4 ,i s i e g or calling for an enquiry of any kind. He g ply said, that if it were demanded, its necessity should ow, and it should be as limited as possible, so as viable the House to come to a decision this Session.

Mr. .1011111T011, from the dice of the Ckief Secretary for Ireland, reeeated au Account of the Sums received by the Commissioners ti Fest Fruits during the year 1826. Mr. Tonuss, from the Treasury, presented an Account of the, Duties received on Foreign Cern in the year 1826. The several Bills before the House were forwarded ht their go- I tredve stages. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Hundred of Bernard, in the County of Bucks, against the Importation of Foreign Corn; and' alto a similar Petition front the Labourers in Husbandry of the same . . • Hooked—Ordered to be printed. PETITIONS ON THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. The MASTER of the ROLLS presented a Petition against further monisions to the Roman Catholics from the Clergy of the Archdescoary of the Isk of Ely. The Marquis of CH &ROOS had some Petitions to proem of a near nature, sod he could not but exptess his testa that the pridon was not set at rest; and his opinion that Government ask to take a decided Due of conduct, and not suffer the country to be agitued as it now was by the inflammatory language of the Cathok Leaders. Mr. A. DAWSON referred to tie situation al the English Ca tholics as a prOof that the most cautious abstimies *ma an vio l/we of language or modest would avail After a few words from Mr. J. Csaasla a nod ~ ar Hon. Menus, the Pathan tree ten places in tie of Ducks, were read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. rd'l4lA GIITEN presented a Petition from the Gentrp, Free bolJers, and Protestant Inhabitants of the County of Antrim, gains the Whelk Claims. hfr. BASTARD prevented six Petitions front Parishes in De vonshire to the same effect. Mr. 6. DAWSON presented a similar Petition from the County of. Londonderry, signed by 2,000 inhabi tants (Protestants) from the County of Wicklow and the County of Westmeath. The Hon. Member stated the Derry Petition was the result of a public Meeting, which the Protestants felt themselves obliged to hold from the taunts of the Catholic Association, and of the baleful and pestilential influence of the Roman Catholic Priesthood upon the minds of the peasantry during the late General Election.— (Hear, hear, from the Opposi- Membeis might jeer and cry hear, hear 1 bit that would not prevent bum directing the attention of the People of England to the incalculable mischiefs of this influence, and of the acts of that turbulent and illegal body, the Catholic Association, who had almost succeeded by their seditious harangues to alienate the Landlord from the Tmsant, to deteriorate the value of private property, and in rendering the lives of the Pro testants—(Hear, hear, and laughter from the Opposi-, tion)—hooriy perilous and irksome. This they accom plished by terror; but the time was come when the loyal might speak out their minds without fear of the consequences. Mr. J. GRATTAN was sure nothing could tend more to distract Ireland, to render property insecure, and live, un sa f e , t h an seditious speeches like that of the Hon. Member (Dawson)—(Hear). That Hon. Member presented a Petition from the County of Wicklow, which he (Mr. GI attan) represented, as that of the Protestant inhabitants of that county. He denied the fact; two thirds of the Nobility were friendly to Emancipation, the whole or the constituency. and a great portion of the body frt ro %hum the Petition properly emanated, the Yeomanry. The majority of that body were hostile to the measure, from confounding the re b e lli on o f 1798 with the Em ancipation; of the Catholics, who bad in ne instance fair pl..y dealt to them, and who were traduced" and ,mistepresented in violent seditious harangues, like that of the Hon. Men.ber—(Cheers.) Lord NORM ANBY agreed as to the necessity of LOOM measure fur era, quillizing Ireland, so long the victim of misrule and oppression—(Heat). That reme dial measure was Emancipation—.(Hear) —and till that was granted, the perilous condition of the Protestant inhabitants would, and ought, to exist—(Cheers.) Mr. MOORE or Dnblin , maintained the Petition to speak the sentiments of the Protestants of Wicklow. M. PROBY, as a Member of the County, acid long attp.inted with the Gentry and people in it, gave the a.sertion of the Hon. Member (Moore) the most explicit Mr. BROWNLOW said, be had a Petition to present horn the Protestants of the County of Derry to the oppo site tendency of that now presented by the Hon. Member (Dawson). The Petition was signed by 5000 Inhabitants, and Was sent to him to present, in the absence of the other Hon. Member for the County. Sir G. HILL was sure there were not 10 honest Pro testant sign,tur ea to the Pet ition—(Langhter). Sir J. NEWPORT was sure the Catholic Association never made use of language half so inflammatory and wantons as that Quested by the Hon. Member (Dawson) to the 'Prentice Boys of Derry, and in his place in Par liiament—(Hear, hear). If language so violent were used in the South of Ireland, the consequence would be rebellion (Hear, hear). If the Association was violent, they took a lesson out of the Hon. Member's book. Mr. DAWSON denied that he ever used seditious language there, or elsewhere ; but such language as he ever would continue to make u 2 of. to express his hostility to Catholic Emancipation—(Hear, hear). Mr. H. GRATTAN said, the violent irritating con duct and language, originated with the Protestants, or rather Orangemen, of Dublin, who gave an insulting toast, contrary to the express commands of the King, which had been still loudly approved of, by Members holding official situations under . his Government—as Mr. Dawson's letter to the Dublin Lord Mayor,proved. Mr. DAWSON complained of being made the butt of animadversion, extending not only to his Speech, but to his taking a glass of wine —(Hear, hear). Mr. S. RICE trusted, for the sake of their common courtesy, the warmth of discussion would not lead either of his Hon. Friends to mix up petty p ivate stories with a great national question. The Petitions were then ordered to be printed. Mr. PLUNKETT had a Petition to present, which was expressed in language exceedingly moderate, and which he would request to have read at length, in the hope that it 'Might bring the House back to Its wonted moderation and composure. The Petition from several sailed Parishes in the County of Cork, playing for the Misoval of Catholic disabilities, was then read at length, ird ordered to be printed. PLUNIEtIT recreated a similar Peddon from the brisk Iljheickham, In the County of Cork. fITITION 01 ROMAN CATHOLIC PRILATRII. Mr. PLUNKETT grAs particularly anxious w call the attention of the House to this Petition. He had given notice of his intention to present it. because he thought it entitled to the fullest attention of the House. It was a Petition from the Roman Catho• lic Prelates of Ireland, and they prayed that re lief might be granted to that country from all disabili• ties on account of religion. He felt particularly do. sirous of calling the attention of the House to this Peti tion, because, from the high station of the Petitioners, and from the intimate knowledge they possessed.of Ire land, they were better qualified than any other persons to convey accurate information to the House as to the state of the people in that country. They expressed their reluctance to interfere upon this question; but in the pre- ' I sent state of the country they felt it to be their duty to lay their opinions and wishes before Parliament. They would willingly have followed the eaansple of their pre. decessors, and have left the subject to be disposed of by the wisdom of the Legislature; but they felt that in the alarming crisis in which the country was now placed, if they did not raise their warning voice they would be guilty of a great dereliction of duty. They said that the disa bilities under which their countrymen laboured operated 'as an impediment to them in the discharge of their cc. cksiastical duties ; they said that these disabilities pros duced a sense of degradation in the minds of the Ca.., tholics, who bad reason to complain that the superiority, of their Protestant brethren was not exercised with so much meekness as befitted their Christian profession. They stated that it was their constant endeavour to in.. eulcate upon the people the duty of obedience to the , law, and of respect to all lawful authority. They wok the opportunity of stating their opinions, and of de nying and *Outing the emiernoecoes assertions made :to the Country and the House respecting the conduct of the Catholic Clergy -generally. They took this op. portunity of professing their sentiments, and they were such as would do honour to any body of men. This Petition they had entrusted to him, overrating the ser *ices he had rendered to their cause; and whatever might be the decision of the House upon that cause, he hoped they would join with him in doing justice to the conduct and the motives of these petitiesk Cl l. To their meritorious conduct it was owing that mischievous spirit which existed sin Ireland had not. broken out in acts of violence. and outrage. It was perhaps more prudent not to describe that spirit, any further than to say that if it had not exhibited itself in outrage, the merit was in a great measure due to the body of the Irish Clergy. It would be invidious to make exceptions when speaking of the conduct of great bodies of men. There were, no doubt, instances of a different conduct, but these were only exceptions to the general rule. And, in no instance, when application had been made to the Heads of the Church on occasion of individual misconduct, that the person so offending escaped censure, or been continued in the situation from which be bad derived the power of doing mischief. He had thought it his duty to say thus much, and he should be doing injury to the Petitioners if he were to detain the House longer. The Petition was rather long, but the time of the House would not be misemployed in bearing it read. They had inserted in it the contentsof an Admonitory Address, which they had issued to the people under their care. Mr. AGAR ELLIS would take this opportunity ell offering a few words upon the general question. He thought the welfare of Ireland depended upon the de cision of Parliament. Leland was upon the brink of an awful precipice, and it was even now, perhaps, too late , to rescue her from the danger. He entertained sanguine hopes as to the decision of that House, and he only wished that his warning voice could reach to another place, where stronger prejudices were known to prevail. Sir G. HILL could not agree with the Attorney- General of Ireland, that the Catholic Prelates were so deserving of the approbation of the country. Where was their lo'alty during the rebellion that smouldered in the South of Ireland from 1819 to 1825' Or did the Right Hog. Gentleman include in his commenda tions J. K. L Dr. Doyle, who had, within the last three weeks, denounced the stablished Church to.the pea santry of Ireland ? Mr. MAXWELL (of Cavan) could bear the testimony of personal experience to the mischievous influence of the Catholic Priesthood during the contested election of the County which he represented. The Priests at that election urged the peasantry to disregard their Landlords and vote for the Catholic Candidates; they brought them up to poll in droves, one Priest before and another behind.(—Laughter.)—One of them, the Rev. P. Corr, from his altar, told one of his voters, who was blind of an eye—(A laugh)—that "he was a blind eyed rascal, that would never open his eyes but in the lames of bell"—(Continued laughter)--and yet this man was one of a body who, forsooth, deserved the highest commendation of the country. And so wilt Dr. Doyle, who, in a recent letter to a Noble Relative (Lord tarnbam) spoke of the Established Church as an incubus upon the moral and physical energies of the people.of Ireland. Mr. M. FITZGERALD was sure, but for the Cathc- --•-- . • lic.Priestaittebuid walla time be free trom rebellion,• •till either the Catholics were free or the country sepa rated from England. He witnessed this well directed influence of that bildy - es is Magistrate; and %their the French Bert anchored in Halm, B ,y, be there saw the peasantry, urged by their Pastors, dragging up steep hills pieces of artillery That it was thought impossible to remove. He wished the opponents of the Cashblice would bring forward some measure of their own to Itranquilize Ireland. Tbey praised, as a virtue, the interference of Protestant Clergymen in politics; and condemned, as a vice, the interference of the Catholic Clergy. This was as•unfair as it was absurd. Mr. MAXWELL said the• remedy for Ireland was the ( °eversion to Protestantism of the Catholics ; of whom 700 of-certified good character; had, within the last five months, renounced the errors of Popery in his county. Mr. WILtsfOT-HORTON saict, k would, in his ' opinion, be much better to attend to what the Peti tioners set forth than to prolong the discussion. The charge against Roman Catholics was, that they-enter tained opinions hostile to the Constitution. •These opinions they denied, and professed themklves ready to deny them upon oath. Now if their oath wis to be believed, how could a better security be had for the sin cerity of their professions?. With respect to Dr. Doyle, whatever he might hate said in the publication alluded to, he maintained the integrity cif 'the Church property in another publication.—The Petition was cheer read. Mr. G. DAWSON would tot admit • that the pro- leased sentiments of - she Petitioners, of being free from all civil or political influence ol skas Pope or other Fo reign Powers, were binding, or . could be depended upon, history gave it the lie. The. Catholic Clergy of Ireland took the Test Oath, tendered by James 1. as a peace-offering after the Gunpowder Plot; and though it was merely an oath of allegiance, still fsom its con tamping a denial of the Pope's supremacy, the Pope de nied them to recant it; and they did recant it, and the oath was never taken since. Again, in 1799, four Metropolitan Archbishops and six Bishops, with the majority of the Clergy, consented with Lord Grenville, Dr. Milner, and Mr. Poasottby, to allow his Majesty a oda on their appointment; but since then recanted their opinions, and by their opposition have exclu ded the measure ever since. • This chews• their profes sions of allegiance could not be depended en. Lord L. GOWER wished, when Hon. Members ap pealed to history, that instead of raking up the obsolete arguments on one side of the question, or temporary acts of a party, they would quote those more nume rous incidents, from which they would learn how despi cable in all ages has been, and will be, narrow minded intolerance--(Cheers). This would be the more en lightened, the more Christian course. The reformation project of an kion. Member (Maxwell) was not now 1. it was as old as Earl Tyrcunuel, :oho in the reign of Charles . 11. recommended the project to Lord Bellas. Bellas answered, H You fool and madman, in your ab surdities you would destroy ten kingdoms." It was a foolish scheme at best; madness, at this time, without emancipation. Mr.PLUNKETT complained of the want of cordiality among all interested in the prosperity of Ireland, as to the justice of the claims of the Catholic Prelates upon . shis comma d miens of the House and Country—the more so, as none bad impugned these respectable characters as , a bode, but merely levelled their attacks at some indiei duels. Hence as a body be stated, they deserved the he:nese - of the House ; for if they were to se attacked kedividually; be would like to know what class of men *ere free from strong animadversion—(Hear, hear):— Were the Protestant Clergy to be judged thus, What would the friends of the Church say ?—(Hear. hear). A great deal had bees said about the interference of the Catholic Clergy at Elections; but even admitting that they had interfered in the manner stated, there was nothing against the Constitution in their so doing. . If recrimination was permitted at length on one side of the question, it ought to have the same privilege on the other. . • After a few observations front Mr. L. Foasexa, Mr. J. GRATTAN, and Mr. P. LEWIS, the Petition misread; and ordered to b printed. • • '• Mr. Secretary PEEL laid, that he rose to present some Petitions, and that, before coming down to the House, lie had formed a decision to which be still adhered, namely, that if the House would permit him to give the names of the parties from whom the Petitions came, he would cautiously abstain from entering into any of the topics which they embraced.—(Hear, hears) He was afraid, that, when he came to state his opinions on Monday, upon the subject, which was commonly called the Catholic Question, there would be found so alteration in them; bat until then he woad refrain from doing so. While be thus abstained at present, he hoped that no one would enter tain the idea that be did so either from an uncertainty in his opinions, or from his being unprepared with his reasons in support of them. He would, therefore, pre feet a Petition fiom the. University of Oxford, which had done him the honour to select him as their representa ,tive, against any further concession to the Roman Ca tholics.—[The Petition was then read, and laid upon the table.] The Right Hoe. Gentleman then proceeded to say, that he had another Petition upon the same sub ject, which, under the circumstances, was deserving of the serious consideration' f the House. It was the Pe tition of the Piotestant Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Landlords of Ireland, against the Catholic Claims. If any petition was entitled to the consideration of • the House, this was peculiarly so, from the names of-the persons, attached to it. There were no less than twelve hundred names of Noblemen and Gentlemen who performed the duties attached to their stations as such. The greater , part .uf Ahem filled the offices of Grand Jowls and Magistrates, and there were no,less than tie names of twenty-seven Peers.amongst the Petitioners; and he understated the amount of the property they possessed, when he Said that they had one million, it sear arising out of land. He knew, from a iesideoce of many years in Ireland, a great number of the Peti .tioners, and he appealed, to every one, no matter how they might differ from, them in political opinions. whether any country coOld present any number of men who beiter exercised their duties as public meo, or who *ere more kind in their private transactions ? As Landlords they made no distinction, and no persons made greater efforts to lower those exacerbations which 'prevailed. When he stated that there were so.many names, and that there were 27 Peers amongst the Peti tioners, he should add that they were, every man of them, resident in the county. Those who had been most active in preparing the Petition, had excluded (whatever might be their fortune or their rank in society) every man who was not a resident proprietor. That was a parti colas' which he deemed worthy of the most serious con sideration, for it was plain that none could be more interested than sash persons in the preservation of • • 'peace Ireland. - The lion. Mimber for Kerry hast - observed that thrte A poemed a growing acerbity in the • Petitions which were presented upon the prese nt ques tion, bot io the present - Mein , was nothing like any such feeling. The Petition fairly and temperately expressed the grounds why.the Catholics should be, in their opi. nion, excluded Iran further powers He could not ob serve the numbe; of Magistrates and Gentlemen—all entitled to the highest respect—whose signatures the present Petition hors, without feeling grateful for the proof of their ennidireee, which he experienced in their having selected him as the individual to present it. Upon this distinction thus conferred on him, he sincerely declared that he set the highest truing. The Petition was then brought up and ordered to be printed. The Right Host. • Secretary then presented similar Petitions from the Bishop and Clergy of the D.oceae of blearh, the Parish ,n 1 St. Nicholas (Guildford, Surrey),the Clergy and other Residents of the Parish of Manchester, the Clergy of the Diocese of Cork and Rhos, the Protestant Li:nduerners of the Barony of Slievest. dagh (Tipperary), and the Perish of BaUinaciana.--All sacred to lie on the tibia. Lord NUGENT ptesented a Petition from the Ro man Catholic InhaSitants of Galway, praying for Catholic Emancipation. The N 'hie • Lnrd said, the Petition 'WAS signed by upwards of 23,000 individuals, including the Peers and other distinguished persons of Ireland. He did not advance this tact as otvedemand ing the attention of the House; for if the Petition was signed by only one person, and that individual was the poorest person in the realm, the Petition would still have as much claim , for consideration as any nth* in the House. Mr. MOORE presented munerosi Petitions from Moore MI6 lick, County of Waterford, and other pliers spinet coy farther concession to the Roman Catholics. Mr. R. MARTIN begged permission to be allowed to embrace the opportunity of assuring the House, that statements bad been made wholly incorrect, as respected • the interference of the Catholic Priests at the late Elec tioos in Ireland. The Priests bad not interfered, or taken part in any of the contests; and he thought ittnat due to their dignity to exonerate them. Mr.MOORE contended, that the House had not been misinformed on the subject—(Hear, hear!) He had it do the veracity of 10.000 petitioners. The floo.Gsmtle man presented a Petition against Concessions to the Cachaticti from the Joiners of the City of Dublin. He also presented a Petition from the Mayor. S!ieriffs. and Cititens of cork, respecting the existing state of their elective franchises. The whole of the Petidoos were kid as the tabk mod onlete4 to be printed. • _ oai+srai ARCHDALL presented versals attorney Patinae against to the Catholic@ from An Pretense lean tants of county of inisanegh, ind other places is IrelenLe Sir H.

A.STINGS said thig b LI e bad only answered for the Petition being respectfully worded toward the House, and concurred in its general prayer, which was against further Concessions to the Roman Catholics. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said * that this Petition certainly contained more of that figure of speech called rigsnarole(a laugh)—than of ergs. Meat. His object in rising was is suggest that as five or six hours bad been consumed in presenting Petitions, it would * be desirable that some reasonable time. knee %clam between five and six o'clock, should be fixed for opening the question on Monday evening. Mr..Sectetary PEEL thought nothing could be more unfair than to have Petitions read at length for the purpose of holding the Petitioners of that House up to ridicule. If those who supported the other side of the question were to adopt the same.course, they should be able to 'hew things quite as absurd as the lan guage in which these Petitioners expressed themselves.. If the Noble Lord would turn to their proceedings oif December 7, be would see al Petition from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of Tintarn, Ross! Garland, and Inch, three parishes in the county of Wexford; which afforded a precedent as nearly to the point es possible, and he would allow this Petition to pair off with it as its fellow: Without entering into the terms of these , Petitions, he would state to the Noble Lord the names of the personages introduced into one of them. There were Judge Blackstone, Sarsfield, Tyrconnel, said to, have beets a Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Marcos Aid- • lius, Regulus, Joshua, Julius Cesar, Agrippa, one Governor Pestus,Numa Pompilius, King David, Nana miah, and Artaxerxes.—(Loud laughter attended the reading of these names.) After a few words front Mr. J. Sawn, Sir T. Anne. and Mr. W. Stun. the Petition was ordered to Le printed. • Numerous Petitions were that preseoted from various parts of Ireland. Kayla; for a removal of the Catholic disabilities, and apinst any further concession to the Catholics. They occupied the House until eleven o'clock. Mr. B'ROWNLOW asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to ninth late the dutieson Malt In England and Ireland?

Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN would not object to a liberal allowance to every branch of the Royal Family.
