Qualification BilL Two Petitions were presented by the Earl of SHArnsituay against the granting of any further concessions to the Roman Catholics; but•nobody could gather who the Petitioners were. After some remarks from Viscount Mtcviccx and the Earl of ROSSLYN, the Scotch Commissary Court Bill was amended in a Committee, and ordered to be printed. Lord VERULAM presented a Petition from the Clergy of the Archdeacoary of St. Alban's who prayed that no further concessions might be granted to the Roman Catholics in any way. Lord HOLLAND moved the third reading of his Bill for rendering more valid the Marriages of British Subjects in fo reign parts. He bad one or two amendments to make, although not important, which he should propose as riders to the Bill. He found it was wished by some of their Lordships that the words , " all doubts" should be substituted for the words " all possibi lity of doubt," in the preamble of the Bill.—Tbe amendments were agreed to; when the BM was read a third time, passed, and messaged to the other House. Upon the motion of the Earl of SHArIItiIIIZT, their Lordships went into a succession of Committees on the Reciprocity of Duties Bill, the Jails Building Bill, the Ireland and England Customs Duties Bill, the East India Half-pay Dill, the Equali sation of Duties Bill, the Land Tax Commissioners' Names Bill, the Ireland Malicious Injuries Bill, and some other Bills, most of which were reported to the House without any amendments. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a Petition from some twelve or fourteen persons resident in the Counties of Middlesex and Surrey, who prayed their Lordships to extend the English system of Poor Laws to Ireland.. The Petition had been put into his hands since he came into the House, and he had un dertaken to present it.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN rose, pursuant to the notice he had given, to move the second reading of the English Roman Catholics' (Civil Offices) Qua lification Bill. The present Bill repealed in effect two Acts (7th and Bth) of William 111. and in recom mending so salutary a measure to the consideration of their Lordships, it was impossible to conjecture on what ground opposition would be made (for he un derstood that this measure, so advisable, was likely to be opposed), or could be offered to the Bill. Be fore that opposition could hope to succeed, it would be found necessary for the opponents of the Bill to satisfy their Lordships, that Mr. Pitt's long adminis tration was utterly erroneous on the subject, by ad mitting the RoMan Catholics of Ireland to the enjoy ment of the elective franchise, and even to privi leges more distinct; but if that Administration had ever felt themselves in an error of this sort, he was convinced that, with all their influence and weight, some attempt would have long ago been made to re peal those privileges. No such proposition having been made, the opposers of the present Bill were driven to this alternative that there were circumstances which peculiarly attached to the Roman Catholics of Great Britain, and which, so attaching to - this body, made them unfit and unsafe to be indulged in those privileges long since imparted to the Roman Catho lics of Ireland. He must allude here to the posses sion of the elective franchise, which was, it appeared, to be denied to the English Catholics, who, though fewer in number than the Irish Catholics, and bear ing no proportion to the population of Great Britain at large, were deemed quite unfit for the extension of the privilege just mentioned. Were their Lordships then prepared, on a deliberate and enlarged view of their C atholic fellow-subjects, when considering their uniform loyalty and their patient demeanour—were they prepared, be would repeat it, upon such a re view, to withhold from the English Catholics those Franchises and privileges which could never be de nied with justice, but upon the strictest grounds of . State necessity ? Would they withhold, from imagi nary fears of evil; the privilege of choosing their Re presentatives in Parliament to a portion of the popu lation whose loyalty was stainless, and whose respect ability was undoubted ? Would their Lordships re fuse to such persons that privilege, in the absence of whose exercise the British Constitution was reduced to nothingness as it regarded them? It remained for the opposers of the present Bill distinctly to point out what had unfitted the English Catholics, by any sort of fatality, from the impartation of the elective light; fbr, if there were any difference as to the ope ' ration of the Election Law, it was decidedly in favour of the Catholics of England, as the manner of the elections, and the registry of electors, in Ireland, weld attended with evils (as the Noble Earl opposite knew) not likely to occur in this country. When, there fore, their Lordships were called on simply to place the Roman Catholics in England on exactly the same footing as the Roman Catholics of Ireland ; he hoped, at all events, that their Lordships were not about to be warned, that the proposition was so novel, so very difficult to deal with, that it never could be entertained by them. Let this novelty be spurned in bar of a question so long discussed in different shapes, so familiar, not to say irksome, to the Legislature ; and let their Lordships well measure the true extent of that t uncer tam kind of danger held out by the op posers of the present Bill. He likewise knew that it was objected, in linrine, that the Roman Catholics of ' England hail not petitioned for that relief now recommended to be imparted by the present Bill ; and, therefore, that it ought not to be moved at all. Never ought it, however, to be forgotten, that political privileges were not conferred in respect to individuals, but for the advantage of the Public. Though no petition had been presented from the Eng lish, Catholics in favour of the present Bill, nor, if his opinion were asked, would he advise such a petition to be sent with reference to a measure so limited in this instance; yet he would fearlessly ask their Lord ships if they really were disposed to reject the Bill upon such grounds ? But if, on the other hand, their Lordships should see no good reason for denying to the exemplary loyalty of the English Roman Catho lics those privileges long enjoyed by the Irish Roman Catholics, he would conjure them no longer to hesi tate. Every year, every day, the connection of both countries was becoming more intimate ; both were habited in the same clothes, both sustained by a com munity of produce; and it was ardently to be hoped that their Lordships would not stop short, by receding from that political identity so recommended to them. Here, indeed, it was his intention to have stopped, if he had not caught the whisper that the present Bill placed the English Roman Catholics in a much better state than the English Protestant Dissenters. But in reality the latter were better off, while the former were still subjected to the operation of the Test Act, though no such impediment stood in the way of the Catholics of Ireland. He had therefore now' to move the second reading of the Bill. Lord REDESDALE opposed the Bill. The oh ject.pf the Act of William, which was sought to be repealed, was to establish a Protestant Government in Church and State; and to the repeal of that Act he could not consent. If an error had been com mitted in the ca se of the Irish Catholics, that was no reason for repeating the same error in the case of the Catholics of England. Whatever respect he might have for Catholics individually, he could not consent to sacrifice to that respect the Protestant Constitution of this kingdom. His Lordship concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill that day three months. The Earl of WESTMORLAND trusted that the English Catholics would at last receive the well merited reward of their loyalty. There was no argu ment for conferring privileges on the Irish Catholics that did not equally apply to the Catholics of. Eng land. The disorders in Ireland were not to be ascribed to the concessions made to the Catholics, for the same disorders existed in a much greater de gree before. The concessions made to the Catholics had materially tended to tranquillize and conciliate Ireland. The Irish Catholics were loyal and grateful forthe benefits they had received, and the disorders in Ireland were to be ascribed to very different causes than such as were connected with the Catholic claims. Though he supported the Bill, he was adverse to any further concessions to the Catholics; nay, it was that opposition that madehim support the Bill, and made him anxious to remove the anomaly that at present existed in the case of their's]] and English Catholics, The Bishop of NORWICH observed, that, after what had been already said, it would alidost require inspiration to throw new light upon the subject. He was happy to see that the prejudices on this subject were rapidly disappearing, except in a quarter where they were least to be expected. He must protest in his own name, and that of his Clergy, against the opinions contained in some Petitions to that House. The safety of no Christian State could be endangered by the practice of Christian principles. He trusted that no Holy Alliance would arrest the march of liberal opinions—(/fear, hear). Everything human must yield to the law, of change, and the senseless clamour against innovation had now disappeared. The Revolution was an innovation ; nay Christianity itself was the most important innovation that had ever taken place in the history of the world—(Hear, hear). A large majority of lay members of the Esta blished Church were decidedly in favour of Catholic Emancipation, as appeared from the fact that scarcely any Petitions had been presented against it. The Clergy of the Established Church of'England and Ireland, were, in the 19th century, almost the only advocates of intolerance— (Hear, hear). He claimed the same indulgence for the Catholic Dissenters of his day that had been granted to the Protestant Dis senters in the time of King William. The Learned Prelate concluded by quoting a passage from Bishop Burnet in support of his opinion; and stated, that he had two Petitions to present against the Bill, to which he trusted the House would turn a deaf ear --(Hear)., The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S was anxious to re lieve the Catholic from any inabilities that could be done consistently with the safety of the State ; but, in the present case, he must oppose the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not see how the Learned Prelate who spoke last but one, conk! state that none but the Clergy were adverse to the Catholic Claims. The Learned Prelate was never more mistaken aunt when he asserted that the hosti lity to the Catholics had diniinished. If for no other reason than the lateness of its introduction, he shook' vote that the Bill be read a thirchime that day three months. He had no objection to the discussion of the CONTRACT FOR CHAIN PUMP GEAR.
