In conclusion, the Right Hon. Gentleman implored the douse ton to sacrifice their consistency by an adoption of this partial measure ; not to give up what he considered their duty to the Commons of England—(Loud cheers from both sides). The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would admit that the great tendency in the disposition of the country was to view this tubj.at with less of alarm and with more favourable sentiments than on former occasions; but still lie was not disposed, nor did he think it would be politic, to press that disposition too much. In the Bill before the House, the grounds of the discussion were very much narrowed; a variety of topics, connected with the Lcceral proposition, were necessarily omitted, as having no bear ing un this part. In the general discussion he had always rested :he enterion by which the question, not of admission, but of eigi tility to office of Roman Catholics should be tried, on this— W letter there was that reasonable fear of danger to the State which would render this eligibility impolitic? With respect to the question of securities, on which his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Peel) rested, he would say, that his (Lord Londonderry's) were the same es formerly—for be did not see why the Roman Ca tholes should not emaciate themselves to the State as well as ether classes of his Majesty's subjects ; but he would modify those securities in such a manner, so as that while they afforded th.it guarantee which he was satisfied the Roman Catholics themseives were fully disposed to give to the State, they would erev.en the measure from having the appearance of severity. But .hen. said his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Peel), " you have , e'.vs eup the oeth of supremacy by this Bill." Ile (Lord Lon- - :.omierry) apprehended, that if his Right lion. Friend would he satisfied with an oath of supremacy, the Bill might be easily so modified as to ensure his support—(llear, hear, hear!). — The Roman Catholic did not object to the oath, and the only difference which existed at all on the subject, was as to the sense in which the word " spiritual" was to he understood ; for as to the temporal power, there was no Roman Catholic of any edu cation who would make objections more than a Protestant. As to the ground of the acquisition of power by the Roman Catho lics, there was no real cause of fear. The utmost that could be expected from the general emancipation would be the return to that Ilonse of perhaps eight or nine Catholic Members, and the tower which they had is this country was pretty well known. ire viewed the leaving open this question as a matter not so 'much of dangt r as of embarrassment to the country ; and, with that view, he should wish to see the question at rest. Mr. CANNING begged to remove any misconception which tight have been entertained, that he thought his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Peel) had met the question unfairly, since he had Lever encountered a fairer adversary. The Bight Hon. Gen tleman then took a retrospective view of the various discussions which had taken place in Parliament on the Catholic question since the year 1812. He adverted to the partial, though highly important, concessions which bad been made since 1813—the opening of the Army and Navy to the Roman Catholics—a mea-. , Etre nating in the House of Lords ; and it should not be forgotten, that the danger of opening the Army and Navy to Catholics was urged as one of the strongest arguments against concession. Yet such was the effect on partial discussion, that this was carried, which would have been rejected if thrown into , the general measur e . He then contended, that the disabilities , thus removed , almost without discussion, were far more im portant than those which he sought. The measure before the House was not complicated. Its bearings could he seen at a glance. It went not to innovate, but to restore rights which had existed b fore—to remove from the injured posterity the disabi htit s which were entailed on them by the injustice done towards their ancestors. 'lbis was not touching on the privileges of MEETING AT THE SOUTH SEA HOUSE. A very full Meeting of the Proprietors of South Sea Stock took place yesterday, at the South Sea House, for the purpose of considering the propriety of contracting to supply Govern ment with the funds, during the ensuing 4.5 years, for paying the Army and Navy Pensions. Mr. BOSANQUET, the Governor, took the chair at one o'clock, and stated the plan proposed, as detailed in the STAR of yester daf ; be said the Directors felt themselves incompetent to pro pose any Resolution, and wished the decision of the matter to be left wholly to the Proprietors. He should of course abstain at present from entering into the wisdom or expediency of the plan proposed by Government. With respect to the South Sea Company Act, its transactions had been financial (with a very few exceptions), and therefore the entertainment of this plan was not at ail inconsistent with its views. He then read a Resolu tion which he had drawn up with the intention of asking some Proprietor to move it. It was as follows— " That the South Sea Company are ready to undertake, upon adequate conditions, the payment specified in the paper delivered by the Earl of Liverpool at the Treasury, on the 7th inst. for the purposes stated in the Resolutions of the House of Commons; and that the Directors of this Court be empowered to treat with the Government accordingly." This Resolution, with some others proposed by the Chair man, founded on the outline already published, were adopted, when Mr. DODD moved that the Meeting do adjourn till Mon day, and that a book be immediately opened to receive subscrip tions. This was ordered, and the Meeting adjourned. 1. "117"---.

The reports from the west of this County, of the distress which prevails, furnish additional proofs of the necessity of some thing being done immediately to avert starvation. The affording instant relief would prevent the Magistracy and Civil Powers from the performance of a most revolting duty to their feelings. namely, the hunting after human spectres, maddened by hunger and despair, and whose patience is unequalled in the history of mankind, dying with hunger, without committing any excesses worthy of notice.— Clore.bv,rstat. TRALII4 Mar 4.—Our streets are thronged with miserable, starving, clamorous beggars, and swarms of staled, half-starving, children, who, from their number, appearance, and importunity, it may be supposed, would devour all the provisions in a large town to satisfy the cravings of hunger.— Western Herald. We regret to state that distress and misery art rapidly on the increase throughout this county. Potatoes are now sold in our market at 7d. and ed. per stone. Flour and oatmeal are on the rise. Oats were sold in our market, about a month since, at 7d. and 70. a stone, and are now selling at 13d. and 14d. which renders oatmeal as unattainable by the poor as potatoes. The state of the country, we understand, is it'd) , lamentable, and no prospect of relief is presented for three months at the soonest. We are informed of some wretched creatures a few miles from this town, whose sole subsistence, during a fortnight back, has been the carcases of two cows which died at starvation. —Kerry Esenin Post. CAtITLESAIL, MAY 6.—Within the last fortnight, two dead bottles have been carried through this town, to be deposited in the grave, without coffins!

It is a remarkable circumstance, that the Archbishop of Al- MACH, Primate of Ireland, and the Archbishop of CASES!, both died on the same day.

Last night the subject was brought before the House of Lords by the Earl of DARNLEY, with a view to learn what had been done by Ministers for our suffering brethren in that country. Lord Live:moor, vaguely observed that measures had been taken for their relief, though when or to what extent was not stated. Earl GREY animadverted strongly on the easy indifference dis played by Ministers on an occasion of such alarming distress : " What a picture," he exclaimed, " of a Government ! H.andreds and thousands of the popu lation of Ireland dying in the streets and highways for want of food in the midst of plenty 1" The Earl of LAUDERDALE said it was evident that the relief was not afforded in time, especially with regard to seed, which Ministers ought to have known was long since required, —The Earl of BLISINTON bore evidence to the extent of the distress, and stated, that the number of per sons, in different Baronies and Parishes, who were actually in a state of starvation, amounted altogether, according to the accounts from different sources, to 48,0001 Forty-eight thousand persons in a state of starvation, and Ministers so indifferent, that Lord LIVERPOOL does not even recollect when anything was done, only that " some weeks since relief was afforded, in money, to purchase food!" Now, let us " look on this picture, and on that." On Tues day a Meeting was held in the City, for the relief of the Irish, and such has been the prompt and sponta neous benevolence of the British Public in the Me tropolis, that nearly E 20,000 have been subscribed in four days, and the list is rapidly augmenting.— The application of this fund to the relief of the un happy sufferers, has been as prompt as its formation; nearly 0000 having been forwarded to the Counties of Clare, Limerick, Mayo, Galway, and Kerry.

The Turkish Commanders have received orders to devastate everything at the commencement of hostilities, and to withdraw from the other side of the Danube. It appears also that the defensive prepara dons previously made in the two Principalities, had no other ob ject but to deceive the Russian Commanders. The Turks have displayed much prudence and ability in lengthening the negocia t ions according to the advice of their good friends. Amongst the ammunition arrived in Silistria are Congreve rockets.

One of these Papers contains a letter from the Nazism Ali, written previous to the insurrection of the Greeks: but stating that a conspiracy was on foot for shaking off the Ottoman yoke And erecting the Island: of the Ryan Sea into a Republic. . - • FP 1 4101 1 1nle, • t • .r te • • ,7p - • • • • • - -•. al ../, iseik Ate*. . ..
