The progress of and with regard to the Noble Lord's ectien..regarding the • science and ciiilization had now eradicated those opi nions which had proved so disgraceful to the rotaries of the Catholic religion at, early periods of our history. He should always feel it his duty to oppose the even sion of a religion, which denied the supremacy of the Sovereign, and maintained doctrines contrary to what was enjoined by the laws of the land. Much had been said upon the hardships the Catholics buffered from the disabilities they at present laboured under, but he could not sympathise much with them, so long as they obstinately refused to qualify themselves like his Ma. jesty's other loyal subjects. It was essential to the existence of the British Constitution that the subjects should abjure the authority of all foreign Powers, and those who maintained a contrary opinion could not reasonably complain of the severity of the laws that required it. Lord HOLLAND entered into a long and minute historical defence of the Catholics, and concluded with giving his hearty concurrence to the motion. Lord AUCKLAND thought that the Catholics of Ireland should be satisfied with the concessions al ready made to them. If they saw no term to their demands, the House should see some end to their con cessions. The present was the point in his opinion at which their Lordships must make a stand. Lord GRENVILLE shortly replied, merely to complain of his having been misrepresented by some Noble Lords. They might mistake his words, but they could not well misunderstand his actions. Their tenour on the present subject could leave no doubt as to his sincerity. The House then divided on Lord Grenville's mo tion :—Contents 74—Non Contents 161—Majority against the Motion 87.

Mr. TIERNEY and Mr. HUSKISSON severally explained. The Resolutions were then agreed to, and the report was Or dered to be received on Monday. RANK OF IRELAND. . . On the motion of Mr. FOSTER., the House resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The Right Honourable Gen tleman then stated, that, in pursuance of the notice he had given, he should tall the attention of the Conimittte to the case of the Bank of Ireland. He said that the Corporation of the Bank there was established in the year 1781, when its capital was compara tively small, and when Government Wag obliged to hold out in ducements to individuals for the establishment of it ; but foresee ing, as they did, those benefits which must accrue to the nation from it, they thought sottle sacrifices needful to pro Mote so ad vantageous and desirable an object. At first its capital did not exceed 600,0001. In ten years it accumulated to 1,000,0001. So great an addition ha 30 short E. period soon proved that the polies , of the establishment was found to be essentially beneicial to the country in many points of view, insomuch that individdal benefits and national interests were blended in its prosperity. At this day the capital is ex e Hied to 1„100,000L and the dividend to the pro pi actor is ne les, than 7} per erne It is now propolCd to add, or rather to increase that capital 0 . 2,500,0001. which, upon the best calculations, is not more than proportionate to the growing pros perity and resources, as well as trade and commerce of that part of the United Kingdom, and with that of the Bank itself. The Governor and Directors have still nine years to come of their prevent charter ; but being desirous of extending the period, and of continuing it to the end of twenty years, from the expiration of that nine years ; it is deemed expedieet to grant them that period of continuation, for which they, in return for the advantages that must bring them, have agreed to lend to the public the sum of 1,000,0001. said instead of the interest which they heretofore had on monies so lent, they consent to take but 4 per cent. during t he continuance of their extended charter—in addition to which they mean to undertake, grat.rs, the manegement of the National Dtbt, for which they had 70001. a-year. he Right Ilonourable Gen tleman havieg enumerated the benefits that must result from this bargain with th,.! Governor and Directors, concluded with moving, " That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland be continued a Corporation until the Ist day of January, 1837." On the question being put, • Mr. •rIERNEY started several objections to it. He complained of the system of borrowing money front the Bank of Ireland, whilst the restriction existed over the issue of specie; the conse• qneuce to be dreaded from which was, that a redundancy of paper money would be turned loose upon the public, without any con trout, the amount of which might vastly exceed the capital. Upon the whole, he did not think the advantages so much to be ex pected on the part of the public, nor did he approve of the bar gain made. Mr. FOSTER, in reply, said, that the bargain had undergone the consideration of the most experienced men that could be ac knowledged competent judges ut the matter, and their uniform opinion was, that it appeared to them founded on sound policy and prudence. He could aseure the Right Honourable Gentle man, that he entertained very ill-founded ideas of that competi tion, if he supposed that they would issue paper exceeding their capital. It was an obvious fact, that the danger of so rash an act Would hurl rt:in on themselves. As to the circumstance of bor rowing from the Pet*, he saw no difference between borrowing from individuals in a corporate capacity or otherwise, save and ex cept that in the corporate capacity they lend their money upon better terms. Mr. PARNELL objected to the renewal of the Charter, be cause, for that period, the Batik was out of the cognizance of Par liament, and the increase of paper money would increase the rate of exchange. s Mr. FOSTER denied that either the one consequence or the ozhe: would follow from the extension of the Charter, or frem the loan. Mr. BANKES did not approve of the extent of theperiod to the year 1837. He thought it should be made shorter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered, that the boon which the country received emanated front the boon which they gave. If the Charter were not to be extended, then the benefits to he derived from the bargain were not to be, and could not be obtainesl. Mr. PONSONBY would not allow that the bargain was advantageous to the country, and on this theme he argued for a considerable length of time. Mr. D. GIDDY made a few observations on the same side. The resolution was then agreed to, and the Report ordered to be brought up on Monday. SUGAR DISTILLATION BILL. On the motion of Lord BINNING, the House resolved itself I into a Committeee on the Sugar Distillation Report, when his Lordship moved, that front the Ist of July till the Ist of October Grain should ha prohibited from being diitiiled. Mr. COKE, of Norfolk, went ovee.his former arguments in opposing the Resolution. Mr. HIBBERT supported the Resolution. Mr. W. SMITH was perfectly aware that the measure would be extremely prejudicial to the farmers—but if this question Was carried, he hoped it would not lipid out a future prospect to the West India Planter of relief, for that could be only obtained by a grand charge of system. They had neglected the means of sal vation by depentlim; on hnpertation tor the supplies of the Colo nies. If there N.:as a scarcity the sooner the Distillers were stopped the better. lie therefore conceived it his duty to move the 10th of June instead of the Ist of July, and to be continued till the Ist of December. Mr. C. YORKE, Mr. D. GIDDY, and Mr. BARHAM, op posed the original resolution: Mr. H. BROWNE thought there was a scarcity, and supported the amendment. Sir J. SEA BRIGHT spoke against the measure in tote. Lord BINNING supported the amendra.nt, and Mr. PORTER argued against it. After a few words from Mr. WHITZREAD, the amendment was carried by 89 to 71. We were rot re-admitted, but understood that a Bill was or dered on the two first Resolutions, and the third was ordered to a Committee of Supply on Monday. Adjourned at Three o'Clock.
