The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that the Bank Charter •Bill be printed, *ids fts amendments ; and gave notice, at the re loot of a Noble Friend (the Hart of Liverpool}, during hls absence, that he would move the second reading of that Bill on Thursday. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that next Thursday we be Holy Thursday, and that the House would not sit.

The Duke of BEAUFORT presented Petitions front the town of Brecon, and from several Parishes in the County of Brecon, against Negro Slavery.—Laid on the table. . Lord CALTHORPE presented Petitions to the same effect .traits. fotoarbridge, Worcester, Polk.ckshaws, and the Protestant Dissenters of Clapton.ia the County of Middlesex. Laid on the table. Similar Petitions were presented by the Marquis of Lassnowst, from the City of Cork. and the towns of Westbury', Carlisle, Lyme, Tenterden, Prckliam„ and Llorkigh.—laid on the table. Lord KING presented a Petition from James Adcock, com plains of the expense at which he had been put to in endeavouring to be adslitted a Freeman of the Corporation of Dublin, to which he was by law entitled. Catholics having been declared admissible, and praying that some clause be introduced into the Mandamus Bill pow before their Lordships, giving large damages to those who had been refused their Freedom under such circumstances.— laid on the table. The Alarquis of LA NS DOWN presented a Petition from the Roman Catholics of inland, praying their Lordships to take into cunsideration the circumstances attending the capitulation of Li merick.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of LA NS DOW N said that he had a Petition which had teen put into his bands at the beginning of the Session, but which he had recommended, if presented at all, should be kept till the close of Parliament, in the hope that during the interval some arrangements might be made which would render the Petition un trecessary, ond would prevent a scandal which could not fail to be injurious to the best interests of religion. This Petition was from the Churchwardens and the majority of the Householders of the Parish of St. Olave, London, who complained that although the Rector bad entered into an engagement riot to receive more than one shilling in the pound on the rental of the parish, he had availed himself of some old Atte, and claimed two shillings and ninepence, by which lee Weed an income of I ,W)01. a year :—That the princi pal part of the duty devolved on a Curate, to whom he paid and never more than tool. a year, and that instead of inhabiting the rectory house in the parish, he let it out into warehouses, thus deriving fro or it an additional revenue, and lived in another parish. The Petitioner.; further offered to prove their assertions in any m .nner which their Lordships might require. The Bishop of LONDON stated the defence which the Rec tor had made, lie repelled the charge of havirg broken his agree ment, by saying, that lording when he came into the living, that wily sixpence in the pound was paid, he had promised those who would engage to pay a shilling, never to ask them for more. To this agreement he contended, that he bad strictly adhered, having only claimed the two shillings and ninepence which the law allowed, from those who had refused to pay one shilling. lie, therefore, only received on an average about two shillings in the pound. This was more, perhaps, than any other Rector in 10.,d0n received, but it was still less than he was entitled by law is receive, and how could he (the Bishop of London) cen sure a Hector for receiving less than the Act allowed bins 7—He hiltstif (the Right R. v. Prelate we understood) had proposed to Us the rate at eighteen pence in the pound, which would have reduced the yearly income to 1,55 r/. but some of the Parishioners had refused to pay it, saying that others paid no more than one shil ling. As to the fact ut the Rector's not occupying the Rectory Louse, be bad stated clrcumstances which rendered it impossible, and with respect to the Curate, he had 1001, a year, and was very attentive to his duty. Ihe 3laiquis of LANSDOWN said that the revenue thus raised by the Rector nearly equalled the whole amount of the A.. swivel, Taxes paid to the liarish.., and exceeded, by nearly 7001. a year, that of the Pour's Rates. Ilse Parishioners were also tor pos session of a letter signed by the Rector, in which he offered to give his aid for the passing of a MU to reduce the salary to his sutler:saw to.looo/. a year, on Condition that they should pay down to bins tell 80601. The Bishop sr LONDON had not ben aware of the existence of such an offer which, if Made as represented, be felt himself called upon to stigmat i te with due rip' robation. The Peeitioh visi theo read andlaid on the table. The Bishop of rEitrs put off hii Motion respecting Chartered Schools in. Ireland, to nest Friday. The Earl of ABERDRRN presented Petitions from three Pa rishes in the County of Aberdeesapinst any iteration in the Bank ing System.—Laid on the table.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. --- - Lord MILTON presented a retitiou front an individual named Radcliffe, who had been in the employment of Mr. Justice Southern, in the Co unty of York, during which period he had received an in jury from the Ay-wheel of a steam engine, and claiming compensa tion for the same. After a few observations from Lord Alturcitr, Sir F. thoraxes-, Mr. W. SMITH, Mr. Annumor, and the Sectere,the Petition was laid on the table. Mr. J. W ILLIA MS presented a Petition from Olive Guelph, describing herself as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Cum beriand, and complaining that, although she had legally proved her descent from Royalty, she was nevertheless still confined in the King's Bench Prison in despite of her prerogative as Princess of the Royal Blood, and begging the interference of the House.—The Petition was laid on the table. Lord STAN LEY presented a Petition front certain Importers of, and Dealers in, Irish Butter, resident in Manchester, against the Butter Bill now in progress through the House.—Ordered to be referred to the Committee on the Irish flutter Bill. Mr. SYKES suggested to his lion. Friend, to include in his Bill a clause, which should bring within its meaning deeds of composi tion, which were now in progress. Sir W :sl. GORDON presented a Petition from several Parishes in Fifeshire, against any al , eration of the Cutrency of Scotland.— Referred to the Committee on the Banking Systems of Ireland and Scotland. Mr. S. R ICE presented a Petition, signed by upwards of 40,000 Catholics, complaining that they were denied Corporate Franchises in Deland. The Hon. M=amas also presented a second Petition from the same Body, complaining that the articles of the Treaty of Limerick, with respect to the Petitioners, bad been violated, and praying that their rights might be restored to thew. Mr. DAWSON said, these Petitions had treat d great excitation in lieland. They emanated from the New Catholic Associa'ion, a body not entitled to much considerati na in that House. The Corpotate rights referred to by the Petitioners were very properlywith held from the Catholics. The Petitioners, with refe rence to the alleged bleach of the at ticks of tee Treaty of Limerick, said this restriction had been imposed upon hem contrary to the spirit of the treaty—and that in continuing those restrictions the House was a patty to the breach of faith. The Treaty of Limerick secured to the Roman Catholics the rights enjoyed by them under Charles the Second. Hence it became neces sary to inquire what those rights had been, and he found that they had been excluded from seats in Parliament, and from all offices in the State. Here the lion. Member read a resolution of the Irish House of Lords of 21st June, 1642, to shew that a new writ had been issued for a borough, in consequence of a Mr. Brie refusing to take the oath of supremacy. The dis solution of this Parliament took place in 1661. • The treaty of Limerick was draws op on the 31 February, 1691, but was not ratified till Stb April, 1692. On the ascension of William 111. to the throne, he passed an Act which excluded the Catholics from holding Mikes Under Government, and taking their seats in Parliament. And he argued that as the Catholics bad not then complained of this infractioon, that in fact it had never existed. Mr. S. RICE said, that as the Hun. Member had pros o' ed a discussion by his intemperate manner' of contradicting the assertions of so many indi viduals who had come forward and signed their names to the Petition as a pledge of their knowledge of the facts, he would endeavour to prove the Catholics were exempted from holding offices under Government, by an infraction of the treaty of Limerick. There was one transaction which completely falsified the remark quoted by the Hon. Member, that all Catholics were excluded from enjoying the rights of the King's subjects on their refusal to take the oath of supremacy. He alluded to Bishop Burnett's account of the transaction, which stated that every thing asked by the Irish was granted, at the express command of the King, and that they were admitted to all the privileges of subjects upon taking the oath of Allegiance to the King and Queen, without taking the oath of supremacy. This doctrine of Bishop Burnett was supported by other contemporary historians. The treaty of Limerick, he con tended, admitted the Roman Catholics to all the privileges and rights of subjects, and that consequently its articles were violated by those rights b eing withheld. Sir J. NEWPORT said be had not expected to live to see the day when an Irishman would assert in that House that an Act of the English Parliament, of 1797, was binding upon Ireland ; and least of all, that such an assertion would be made by a Member for the County of Derry. Mr. DAWSON denied that he had asserted the au thority of the English Act of Parliament. He had risen to state plain histotical facts, which contradicted the allegations of the Peti.ion. The Hon. Member bad charged him with having provoked discussion; but he asked, was there any intemperance, or any thing calcu lated to provoke discussion, in his denying an assertion made in ar gument by the Hon. Member? It was the assertion of the Hon. Member which provoked discussion ; and if be supposed that the subject was to be discussed there as in the Catholic Association, where the speakers were all on one side, he was much mistaken. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the Hon. Member for Limerick had provoked the discussion, when he understood that it was agreed on all hands that discussion should be avoided. Whenever the Catholic Claims came to be discussed be should be prepared to meet the lion. Member upon the question of the Treaty of Limerick. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that he did nut mean to disturb the general arrangement by going into discus. sion on the Catholic Claims ; but he could not acquiesce in the assertion that any rights had ben withheld from the Roman Catholics which were given to them by the Treaty of Limerick. All he wished to do was t.• state that he retained his original opinion upon the subject of the Treaty of Limerick, and that the political privileges claimed by the Roman Catholics could not be supportedlay the terms of that treaty. He thought, front the wording of the Petition, that the Petitioners themselves bad not much reliance upon the arguments to be de duced from the wording of the articles. Mr. S. RICE said that he would engage to prove to the Right ilooourahle Gentleman that the ninth article of the Treaty of Li merick did guarantee the political rights of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. MA RERLY, after some remarks upon the necessity of reducing taxation, withdrew his notice of motion for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes until the next Session. lk moved for a return of the Receipts of Revenue and Auesscd Taxes for each year from 1815 to 18'25 exclusive, with the amount of the charge for collec. tion in each year. After a few words from Mr. thaatas. the returns were ordered. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the Order of the Day fur the further consideration of the Report of the Bribery at Elections Bill be postponed to that day three months. We understood the Noble ►Lord to say, that be should bring forward the measure iu another Nape kit the mit Session. After a few words front Colonel Wens and Mr. Virrtm, the order was postponed accordingly. Upon the " in of Sir J N ZWPORT. the Committee on the Epis copal Unions' Bill, was postponed to that day three months. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the third reading of the Criminal Justice WI. Mr. J. Stvirrii expressed, his hope alit the Might 11. m. Gentle:rim), during the,usettss, would give his At tention to the state of the Police of the Metropolis.— The Hon. Member stated, that the defects of the Pike system were very great. and that the detection and prosecution of crime was attended vrjth great 4ilfienity, expense. and uncertainty. He suggested that the system sisouldte placed upon a footing simi lar to that of the Board of Cut,onts. bcileved that crimes of violence were not so frequent or so atrocious is founetly, but that crimes of fraud and mining were more so. Mr. Secretary PEEL thanked the Hon. Gentleman for his suggestion, but could not think that it would be beneficial to alter the looting upon which the Police M rgistrAcy of the Metropolis now stood, by creating a new authority. At present it was the duty of the Hume Secretary of State to hate frequent communications with the heads of the different offices, and to be ac quainted with the state of their business. If a Board were created to stand between the Magistrates and the Secretary of Stite, it would he wily removing the duty and responsibility from one quarter to another. It would be better for the Hon. Member to put him in possession of his views more minutely ; but as be understood them now. he did not see their utility. After a few 'words from Mr. J. Wirth, the Bill was read a third time. A clause, moved by Mr. 0. Lasts, and some verbal amend ments, were agreed to. and the Bill was passed. Lord A. II ANI I.TON presented two Petitions from Scotland, against any alteration in the system of Scotch currency.—Referred to the Committee. Mr. J. P. GR ANT moved the postponement of the second read ing of the Wrongus Imprisonment Bill to that de/ three months. Mr. Secretary PEF:I. said the subject appeared co him t* deserve attention, hut there hail not been time to give it due consideration. Mr. A BERCI{ OM BY said that the subject was one of extreme importance, and this he wished particularly to iatpress upon the [louse.— It was tilt n ordered that the Bill should be postponed to that day threg months. Mr. A it 11 DTI 1 NOT moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Charing Cross Improvinient Bill. Mr. 0 BUOUS E inquired at what time it was contemplated that the improvements should commence Mr. A lIBU ri I NOT replied, that th -y should com. mence with..as little delay as was compatible with the interests of the p.ti t;e concerned. The Commissioners would certainly lose no time. When first the Bill was sucested, it was stated to be necessary that means should be adopted for widening the Strand beyond Exeter 'Change. Ile accordingly communicated with the Proprietors on the subject, and received the most satisfactory answers from the Noblemen as well as the other persons who were concerned ; they all expressed themselves anxions for the passing of the Bill. The Committee also paid peril. eular attention to such Petitions as were presented to them. Every thing that was fairly required met with the fullest consideration. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. BRIGHT presented a Petition from the Inhabitant* of Coggershill, in favour of the Debtor and Creditor Bill. Mr. Secretary PEEL brought in a 13111 to amend the law relating to stealing front Gardens and Orchards. Read a first time, and ordered to be printed, and read a second time on Monday next. INDIA WRITERS . BILL. Mr. W YNN moved the committal of Ms BM Mr. DENMAN wished to know vhat measures were adopted for the local instruction of those persons in I 'dia. The establishment at Harieybury was a most efficient one, and well answered the expectation of its founders. He deprecated all interference with the Pro fessors by the East India Company, at the same time he did not apologise for the new government at that College. The Professors were there merely in the capacity of literary Saperintendants, and nut as moral Monitors, and were not anowetable for the crimes of the students. Mr. TIIANT denied the conclusions of the Hoe. and Learned Gentleman, and maintained that the mis government in India, in the minor civil branches, did not originate in the imperfect education or want of moral culture of the Officers who had not been educated in Hayleybury. Mr. Secretary CANNING agreed with the Hun• and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Denman) as to the utility And necessity of the East India College. Its importance to ti:e Civil, Military, and Naval Establishments in India could not be too highly estimated. He agreed at the same time with the Hon. Member (Mr. Trent) as to the import .net of improving the system of this College, at the same time that a better test for due qualification for appointments in India than examinations could not be perhaps devised. In supporting the Bill, he wished it to be understood that he did so from a consdoueness that Hayleybury, however ex cellent in its discipline, was not equal to the present demand in India. lie wished this College to be assimilated and placed under the superintendance of either of the two great Universities Mr. TRA NT was also anxious for the superintendance of tithes Oxford or Cambridge, as originally proposed by Lord Grenville. _Mr. LUSH INGTON objected to the state of the law, which did not allow youth to be sent to the College at an age sufficiently early to render them amenable to discipline. After a fess words from Sir T. Ramo and Colonel BMW!, Mr. DENMAN explained. Mr. C. WYNN spoke highly of the advantages of a University education. He urged the necessity of enlarging the time of study at the College from two to three or more years. The Hill was ter. tainly a temporary expedient for a daintier, and he limited its operation to three years. However he would not pledge himself as to ulterior measures, until they had the bene fi t of expetience. Sir T. BARING proposed that a clause should be introduced, making it unnecessary that persons who had resided two years in India, and had passed examinations at the College of Fort Willtans, should be obliged to return to England to qualify themselves at Hayleybury College, under the rrovisions of the Act. After a few words from Mr. ( Amer, Mr. AXTELL, Mr. Lusts exavox, and Mr. C. W. Wyss, the Hon. Baronet consented to withdraw the clause. The Chairman reported progress, and aged leave to sit *gain. The Order of the Day for the second trading of the Indian Naval Force Bill being read, Mr. BRIGHT observed, that before he could consent to the :nation, he felt it necessary to state that it behoved the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Wynn) to afford the House some explanation as to the causes and progress of the war now carrying ou in the Burmese territury.—He had ineffectually called tot in formation on this subject on a former occasion, and he professed it was now his intention to divide the House on the question before them, if that information were any longer withheld. The public was altogether in the dark as to the war now carrying on in India, except from private sources of information :—and in fact he must confess that the documents which bad appeared even in the Gazette were, much to NS surprise, not official. Under these circum stances, however unwilling he might be in so thin a House to press it to a division, he must, unless the explanation were satisfactory, deem it his duty to oppose the motion in all its future stages. Mr. C. W. WYNN observed that the settled force of India was about 20,000 troupe; if war required it, the addition was to he supported out of the territorial revenues of India. The present flotilla, requisite under the presem circumstances of the war, was no part of the standing force of India, and, of course, would be discontinued lifter the termination of hostilities._ _ A conversation ensued between Mr. Bataan, Sir Joao Noweorr, and Mr. AMU., the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. The Irish Petty Sessions Rill was committed, the Report brought up, and ordered to be taken iuto further coosideration Os Tuesday next. The Irish Prison Laws' Amendment Bill was committed. The lit solution being read, Mr. S. RICE moved, as an amendment to the resolution, that the sum of u3ofaf. abould be inserted in place of 9001. as the *umlaut of salary for each inspector of prisons in Ireland. Mr. GOULIMEN resisted the amendinent, and argued at some length in favour of the original clause. After a few words from Sir J. Newiroav and Mr. S. Bice, the further consideration of the clause was postponed. The other clauses of the Bill having been agreed to, the House resumed. The report was received, and the Bill was ordered to be re•cun►mitted on Monday. • The Excise Laws' Amendment (Ireland) Bill, and the Exche quer Bills' Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. The other Orders . of the Day having been disposed ut the Howe adjourned at a QUASI'S' PAST TIN O'CLOCK. MINORITY On Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Motion for Reform io Parliament. A eau. 27. A bercromby, Hon.

Lunn, Aran 15.—0 R London, 541. We regret to state that the accounts from Lanca shire are of the most alarming description ; the conta gion of riot is spreading in / that populous country, and the military force there is unable to repress it ; a strong repreqentation Pas been made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the subject, and a de tachment of troops will embark in boas on the P4d dington.canal this evening. in order to proceed to the disturbed districts. It appears from private letters received this morning, that the military and the rioters have had some very serious conflicts in various places, and that sit of the latter have been killed and nineteen wounded. It is calcula•ed, that between Bury, Rochdale; and Harling ton, between eighty and a hundred thousand of the rioters, are assembled, and they were constantly incteas ing in number and audacity. A letter received from Chorley this forenoon stater, that at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the rioters destroyed every power loom in two factories at Chorley, and then marched out in triumph, and without encoun. • tering opposition. The following extracts from letters received this morning contain the latest and fullest particulars of these melancholy events.
