The House was occupied until within a few minutes to five o'clock in balloting for Committers to deckle on the merits of Petitions complaining of undue Elections. The Committee to whom was to be referred the Election Petition fur the Borough of Tregony, consisted of the follow ing names Ricardo, J. D. Anley, J. Dunl,p, W. Williams. C. W. Mbthorp, J. H. Lowther, J. Collinson, R. Rogers, W. Dun. combe, H. Bright, J. Mansfield, C. Dundas, Sir G. Staunton, Sir P. Pole, and Sir W. Guise. The Committee to whom was to be referred the Petition com plaining of an undue return for the Borough of Hedon, con sisted of the following : W. Lewis, IL Frenkland, F. Hornby, G. P. Jervoise, C. A. Mum, J. Franklin, I. Concannon, C. A. Tulk, H. Hamilton, 'IL L. Lester , T. S. Mee, R. Smith, Lord G. Bererford, and Lord Althore. Mr. HUME gave woke, that he should on Friday next move that the Estimates for the year be laid before the House. CONDUCT OP TIM awn) SOVEREIGNS REGARDING NAPLES. Sir ROBERT WILSON, seeing a Noble Lord (Castlereagh) in his place, wished to know from him if the British Government were in possession of any Declaration or Manifesto issued by the Allied Powers in regard to Naples? Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that he was not aware of any Declaration or Manifesto, such as the gallant General alluded to, being issued by the Al lied S,,vereigns, and if any Declaration of the kind came to his knowledge, he would make it known to the House. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, that in conse quence of what fell from the Noble Lord, he deemed it expedient to . postpone till to-morrow se'nnight, a notice of motion on his pas t which stood for Thursday. PETITIONS. Mr. LAWLEY presented a Petition from the In habitants oL the Parish of Southam, in Warwick shire, praying for the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and for the restitution of all her other rights and dignities.—Ordered to be printed. Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY presented a Petition of a similar nature from the Inhabitants of Hadley, near Southampton. The Hon. Member said, that the Pe tioners complained of the enormous taxation under which the country laboured. Nothing could equal the profligate expenditure of Government, both at home and abroad. He wished to mention one cir cumstance, of which he had some knowledge, and Which they might take as one instance of the many abuses connected with the tremendous system of Co lonial Expenditure. When Mr. Gor:-.:ga was Gover nor of the Colony at the Cape of Good Hope, be had a salary of £2OOO a-year only, and thought it suffi cient. But what would they think when he should inform them that the present Governor had a salary of £14,1500 a year? Yet that did not seem to him a matter of surprise, for the whole Colonial system was conducted on the same principle of abuse and extra vagance. How was it possible to continue such pro- fligate abuse of the public money? He was instructed by the Petitionets to request the House to use their influence to have her Majesty's name restored to the Liturgy. They entirely disapproved of the improper conduct of Ministers throughout the whole of the late proceedings, and desired him to state, that al though her Majesty was acknowledged as Queen, still, in their oi,inion, she was excommunicated by Ministers—( Hear, hear). It was his opinion, that the Queen had as legal a right to have her name in serted in the Liturgy as the King bimsell—(Hcar, hear! from the Ministerial Benches). He had no doubt but all the Catholic countries on the Continent of Europe did think die Queen actually excommuni cated, when her nan.e was erased from the Liturgy, and when she was refused the prayers of the People. Sir R. FERGUSON said, he was not acquainted with the present salary of the Governor of the Colony' alluded to, but he believed most of the Officers, with their wasteful salaries, were created to support the present profligate system of Government. Sir James Craig, when he filled the office of Governor, thought that £3OOO a-year was an ample remuneration for all the trouble and expense of the situation. The Petition was then read, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. S. WHITBREAD presented three Petitions: one from the Inhabitants of the Parish of St. John, Limehouse, in the county of Middlesex ; the second from the Inhabitants of Bromley, and the third from the Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Luke. They all prayed for the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy.—The three Petitions were read, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. C. CALVEI{T presented a similar Petition from the Parish of St. John, Southwa: k. He said, that four out of every five in the Parish had signed the Petitiou. They expressed their surprise, that at the issue of an expensive and sanguinary war, no re lief could be had from the burdenr imposed on the people. They felt indignant that Ministers, who in stituted the late proceedings against her Majesty, in which they failed, should still continue to direct their abuse against her. The Petitioners were of opinion, that the conduct of the present Administration had a tendency to bring the King, the Country, and the Constitution, into contempt ; and they beg that the House might withdraw their confidence from them. Sir It. WILSON said, he should regard it as an act of amnesty if his Nlajesty's Ministers would even; now recommend the insertion of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy. As to'Paiiianientazy Reform, for which the Petitioners also.piwed, be thought argu ments had lost their effect in that House. Events would do more in that catt;elhan all the arguments they could use.—Petition vi - Jercd to be printed.. Mr. W. WILLIAYS pre Bated a similar Petition ' from theaorougn Of Eye, In the County of Suffolk.. Ordered to be 'printed:: A similar Petition was presentcatrom the Incorpo rated Weavers of Edinburgh.— Ordered to be printed. I Mr:We:ANAL presented a Petition from the In habitants of the City of Lincoln. The Petition had been signed by no less than 1030 personi in the short space of three days. It prayed. for the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and for Parlia mentary_Reform, and was couched in language the, most respectful. The lion. Member said, as the P etition was short, he should T. - cad some parts of it to the House. Having read some arguments of the Pe titioners on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, be said, he should always advocate any attempt at a sensible, moderate, and wholesome Reform. Mr. SIBTHORP said he did not rise to oppose the Petition, but to explain why'it was not presented by either of the Representatives for the city of Lincoln. The fact was, that the Petitioners did communicate with himself andAris Hon. colleague on the subject, and they replied, that if the Petition met their ap- probation they would support it in Parliament. such -was the reason that the Petition was put into the hand of his Hon. Friend, who certainly had done it ample justice. But with respect to himself, he could not concur in the sentiments of the Petitioners. He never could see iinpolicy, illegality, or inexpediency in omitting the Queen's name from the Liturgy, and therefore he could not agree to present a Petition praying for its insertion. Mr. R. SMITH said he should oppose that part of the Petition which related to Parliamentary Reform. Ile could not feel disposed to concur in the propriety of any general measure of that nature, for he thought any attempt of the kind an innovation oh the Consti tution and fundamental laws of the realm. On the other part of the Petition he held a very different opinion. He should give his most hearty concur rence to the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, and, in his opinion as a lawyer—(Hear, hear)—her name ought to be inserted. The omis sion of it had ' a tendency to produce through. out the country a clamour for Parliamentary Reform, which might otherwise have been never thought of by one half of those who called for it.-- He knew that there were no quieter or more ordeily population in the world than the inhabitants of the city of Lincoln. One hundred persons of respecta bility had affixed their names to the Petition out of respect to Royalty—( Hear, hear).—Nothing could have a greater tendency to lessen the People's respect for the Throne than the agitation of the question re garding the Queen; and the People were inclined to believe that the Royal Family were wantonly com promised. Even though the majority of that House might approve of the measure, which was very ques tionable, yet it was wrong to set up a majority of that House against the laws and the Constitution. Petition read, and ordered to be printed. Sir 11. HERON presented a Petition from the In habitants of Holbeacti, in Lincolnshire. It was•signed by 500, and more would have signed it had notice been given and a longer time afforded. They pray the House to withhold- the supplies, and enforce re trenchment and economy. They prayed also for Pai liamentary Reform ; and he concurred with them in opinion. lie was one of those who most anxiously desired Parliamentary Reform, and all experience convinced him of the necessity of it. He concluded by observing, that he should never be wanting to assist in any wholesome species of Reform. Mr. PELHAM observed, that many of those who signed the loyal Addresses, had also signed Petitions to that House, praying her Majesty's name might be restored to the Liturgy. Ills Majesty's Ministers were not to infer from these Addresses, that they possessed the confidence of the country, if they did, they would find themselves greatly mistaken. The People desired not only a change of Administration, but also a change of measures. The Petition was then read, and Ordered to be printed. Sir ROBERT WILSON presented a Petition from the Mechanics in the Building branches of the Me.. tropolis, including Southwark. The Petition con tained many folios, and was most numerously signed. It prayed that her Majesty's name might be restored to the Liturgy, and that she might be reinstated in all her other rights and dig nities. The Petitioners expressed their surprise at re conduct of Ministers in attempting to treat as guilty the Queen, on whom they could not fix a verdict, although they were, at the same time, both Judges, Jurors, and Prosecutors. He could not but feel astonished at some words Which had fallen from the Noble Lord opposite, who, jibe recollected right, had said, it would he a mock ery of the Xing to recommend the insertion of her Majesty's name ill the Liturgy. He would not think it now too late, and he and those Gentlemen around him should not be anylonger accused of agitating the country, if his Majesty's Ministers mould but concede this point. Dr• LUSHINGTON presented a Petition from ten Clergymen of the Established Church, praying the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy. The Petitioners stated, that they thought the Act of Uniformity, which regulated Divine Worship, was Linding upon the Crown. In that opinion he entirely concurred. It was not competent to the Crown to make the slightest alteration in the form of Common Prayer, and no doctrine was more dangerous than to admit the principle of any such alteration—(Hear, hear). It was true that there would have been no danger in the last reign, nor did he apprehend any during the reign of his present Majesty, but who ' could tell but that as James 11. had sought to over turn the Religion of the land in order to introduce Popery, so some future King, who had spent the prime of his youth t in profligacy and debauchery— (Hear, hear)—might be wheedled into Methodism in his.oldage —(Laughter)—and be in d uced to make alterations infinitely worse •than Pqpery itself. One of the many misfortunes attending the exclusion of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy, was the spirit of dissension which it created in the public mind. There were numerous instances in which persons had I seceded from the Established Church in consequence lof it. By the 55th Canon, the Queen was to be prayed for by name, and it was extraordinary, that by , the Order in Council, that Canon was contravened. The conduct of Ministers, with respect to the question of the Liturgy, was viewed by :be country with un bounded disgust. Mr. LOCKHART said, that the question depended on the obvious interpretation to be drawn from a plain , Act of Parliament. He did not think that the subtle ties and special pleadings to which the Law Officers of the Crown had had recourse, bore at all upon the point at issue —Wear, hear).— The: Statute was not only directory, but mandatory ; if it was discretion ary, and that a construction had been put upon it which operated against the Queen, then it was rao longer mandatory in favour of the party, but pima —(Cheers).—lt was what, in the language of the was called an infamous judgment. The omission of the Queens narhe in the Liturgy had a tendency, if not to destroy the Constitution, at least to subvert its fundamental principles. The succession to the Crown might be affected by such a principle. The Queen's name being in the Liturgy, was evidence that the offspring was legitimate, but the exclusion of her name might be adduced as an argument of some defect in the marriage. That House, be considered, an ade quate tribunal to judge of such a question as this— (Hear, hear).—For aught he knew, the reputation and political existence of the Law Officers of the Crown depended on the issue of the question. But the King and Queen did not belong to individuals, they were the property of the nation—they were quasi publicijuris. Much better assistance might be got in this affair than that which the Attorney-Gene ral and Solicitor-General could furnish. He would move an amendment to the motion which was to come before the House to-night, the object of which should be to refer the question to the opinion of the twelve Judges, if he did not anticipate that the vote which the House would come to would have the effect of setting the matter at rest by getting her Majesty's name restored to the Liturgy, the only means which at present remained fur tranquillizing the public mind. Mr. HARBORD was of opinion that the ques tion of the Liturgy had induced a still greater evil than the secession of persons from the Established Church; not only was the Queen not prayed for by name, but she was preached against!—(Hear, hear). Nothing was now more common than for Clergymen to introduce politics in their sermons, a practice which was most unseemly and indecent. He had himself wit nessed it in two or three instances; and he had seen, with the deepest regret, the pulpit prostituted to po litical invectives--(Hear, hear). This regret he felt in consequence of his respect for that Church of which he was a member, and not from any political consi deration, he declared most solemnly. He, and some friends to whom he could appeal as witnesses of the fact, were particularly disgusted on a recent occa sion, when they heard the word " radical" introduced in a sermon. He would not name the Clergyman who bad acted so indecently; but he hoped that the circumstance, being adverted to this evening, would have the effect of dissuading him from so improper a I course in future. A MEMBER deprecated the indecency complained of by the Honourable Membec who had spoken last, and said it was no later than last Sunday that he had heard from the pulpit of a parish church sentiments to the following effect :--4 , The acts of those who en courage popular feeling are the acts of unmanly re bels; they would level and crumble to dust the glo rious fabric of the Constitution, which was raised by the valour, and cemented by the blood of our ances tors!" And again, there was a sentiment which at tributed all earthly power to DIVINE prescription!— Those who refused to obey the mandates of Govern ment were said to be " guilty of treason to the King, and acted in violation of the decrees of the A LMIGHTY !" (Hear, hear).---The Petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a Petition from the Borough of King's Lynn, to the same effect as the preceding. He observed, that a Clergyman, who had himself taken an active part against the Queen, had acknowledged to him, that one-third of his pari shioners had absented themselves from the Church in consequence of her Majesty not being prayed for. The Petitioners thought all the evils u hich had fallen upon the country were to be attributed to the venality ofhis Majesty's Ministers—(Hear, hear).—" In that statement," said the Honourable and Learned Gentle man, " I agree, from the bottom of my beard"— (Cheers). It also contained some observations on the state of the Representation in that House; and in that statement also the honourable and Learned Gentle man added he fully agreed, and he sincerely hoped that at some future time, not far distant, there would be more sympathy between public opinion and the opinion of that liouse—( Cheers). Mr. MARTIN, of Galway, thought the Honour- I able and Learned Gentleman would take a more manly part, if, instead of making general charges agiinst Ministers, and which were totally irrelevant to the question, he were to state the particular in stances of which he complained. Unless he were to do so, his veracity might probably be called into question' (Order, order 1) —He saw nothing disorderly in his observation, which he would repeat :.-.-" I cer. tainly think that the Honourable and Learned Gen tleman will bring his veracity into question r --(Order, order!)—" His veracity !"--(Laughter).--" Certainly that which is not true is not verified."—(Laughkr, .ead repeated calls of Order!) The SPEAKER, although he had teat considered the original observation of the Honourable Member as disorderly, thought the explanation highly so. Mr. MARTIN stated his readiness always to bow w i t h deference to the Chair, ned bogged to citrer his i most humble and meat penitential apo.ng y (. 4 fauzky. IThe Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a PL:LitiOli f. J:n ---- I'
