Mr. A BERCROMBY said, he held in his band a Petition from an individual, which deserted seriont attention. The Petition was from Robert Shapland Care*, i Geutletnan of vett isspeetability, a lay proprietor of tithes iri the (laten t * COuntyth a con siderable extent. Mr; Carew was not One of those Gentlemen who exacted exorbitant rents, and then. came to ask for personal relief ; he was rather one of those who tendered measures of relief, by, praying the House to take the insulin of Ireland into its ten sideration, and pareindarly as far as it Was conneOted with the tithe system, for unless some amelioration were effected in that system, no permanent tranquil lity could b 4 expected in Ireland: Mr. GOULBURN said that, in a few days, he would give every explanation bn the subject; when a Bill relating to the Tithes in Ireland would be sub mitted to the consideration of the l-lonse Mr. R. CAREW (Member for Wexford) coincided in the sentiments of the Petitioner. The tithe system, as it stood at present, was the source of many dissen lions in Ireland. . . . Colonel FORD said that the tithe system produced great discontent, and was the source of many evils in Ireland; but however desirous it might be to change the present system and substitute a better, he thought, in effecting it, a due regard ought to be paid to the interests of all parties. The clergy ought to be pro tected in their rights, and the peasantry should be equally protected against exorbitant demands of tithe proctors. He did not think it fair to charge the Irish landlords with apathy, for none could be more alive to the distresses of the peasantry than were the land lords in the North of Irelands .

JUDICATURE NEWFOUNDLAND. Lord HOLLAND said that, during the last Session of Par liament, he had presented a Petition from several persons, com plaining of the oppressive system of judicature that prevailed in the Colony of Newfoundland. On that occasion the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial Department promised to in quire into the facts stated in the Petition, and bring forward some measure of redress. He now wished to know from the Noble Earl whether it was Intended to bring forward say meat sure on this subject? Earl BATHURST said, it had been.his intention to bring in a Bill to make some alterations in the Laws of the Colony ; but in consequence of Government not having received some im portant information which had been expected before this time, it was necessary to defer the measure for the present. Earl DARNLEY wished to know if the measure was likely to be brought forward the next Session? Earl BATHURST replied, that he hoped It would. Earl DA RNLEY said that great grievances had beer► sus tained for a length of time in the Colony, and he hoped the Noble Earl would pledge himself to bring the question before the Howe as soon as possible.

Yesterday the London Sessions commenced at the Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, before the Right Hon. the Loan MAYOR, Aldermen Sir J. PZRRINO, BRIOGSS, Tuoapr, THOMP SON Sheriff &ARIAL?, the Iticoanza, Mr. COMMON SERJLIONT, and City Olken. A Gentleman, called upon to serve as a Juror, begged that the Court would excuse him, upon the ground of his not being able to bear except at one ear. The Cotner put some questions to the applicant, which he heard perfectly well, and there arose in the Court a hesitation as to the question of his inadmissibility. The COMMON SLR/ZAlrr (Mr. De.vslax) interposed, and stated that a Juryman ought to have an ear for eaca tile of a case, in order to decide with justice. The application was immediately granted, the Court being de cidedly of the Common Serjeant's opinion, and the Gentleman who had only one car was permitted to depart. The usual proclamations being read, the Grand Jury were sworn in, and charged by the RECORDER who spoke with great pleasure as to the smallness of the calendar; none of the crimes are of great magnitude—two only for street robbery. In the course (.1 kis charge, he directed the attention of the Jury to a great public nuisance, by which the lives of persons were often endangered—he meant the enormous rans, which passed along the streets, laden sometimes to the height of thirty feet : if any evidence should come before them, respecting these dan gerous vehicles, he said they would doubtless consider them as nuisances to be suppressed by the law. B ow _ se i t ege.--Le t t night Thomas .T y, late a peatiilicorl In the service of the KING, was brought before Mr. fill-von:Li. who sat for Sir Rica...ins Dimas, and underwent a final exami nation on the charge of stealing a watch, riband, and seal, from the per son of a man unknown. When he was put to the bar, the Magistrate desired the wit nesses to be sworn afresh, and the evidence to be read over. This being done, be inquired if the gentleman, whu was said to have been robbed, was present? but no answer was returned in the a/Br:native. Mr. lihsaurm. asked Gook, the Constable, and the other wit nesses, if they knew the prisoner before the night in question? They saki they did not know him at all as a person of bad character before that night. 31r. Mftisnote— Are you quite sure then that be Is the man? Gook—Quite eonfide . it. Mr. Musnou.—Have you no doubt of it) Gook—None whatever. I left 20 known thieves to follow him, and be made great resistance , or we should not have lost the gentleman who was robbed. Prisoner—That is false ; I gave myself up quietly. Geok—You did net, anl you know ft. Mr. MISSUULL asked the prisoner if be had anything to say? Prismser--I have only to say, that what they have 'wont against me is fah& Mr. Idsxsatu.i. said It was a grfot pity, but the charge woo sworn to, and the privets' must be committed. He was folly committed to Newsom for trial, for *glue at watch, Jw from the person of a IMO wham% Nadi the wit - were hound ?err to pnesee!itt. seises .

HAMILTON presented Petitions front the Corp°- , ration of the City of F.dinburgh, from the Towu of Dundee, and the Borough of Perth, against the Bill for Scotch Burgh Reform.—Laid on the table. Mr. CUItTEIS presented a Petition from the Parish of Bur wold, in Sussex, complaining of distress—Laid on the table. Mr. CU RTEIS postponed a motion, of which he had given notice, relative to Hop Begs, to the 14th of June. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, seeing the Lord Ad vocate in his place, wished to learn from him what were his ulterior views wi th regard to the Bill relative to the Scotch Burghs? As expedition was a great object, he would move that the Bill be read that day se'nnight. The LORD ADVOCATE acid, he was about to inform the House on a former evening of the causes of the delay which had occurred with regard to his Bill, but he had been prevented from doing so by the Noble Lord, who caused the House to be counted out. He would not satisfy the Noble Laid on the present occa sion, though he should be prepared to give a full explanation to the House hereafter. After a few words from Mr. Asascaomay,the second reading of the Bill was fixed according to the notice of Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON. Sir It. H. VIVIAN presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Truro, praying that they may be relieved from the great bur den of Taxes, and amongst others the Salt Taz.—Ordered to be laid on the table and printed. Mr. S. WOIL'I'LEY presented a Petition from the Farmers and Tanners in the neighbourhood of Sheffield, praying's repeal of the Leather Tax. He wished to take that opportunity of calling the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary of the Treasury, to a circumstance which required some expla nation. Though the Agricultural Horse Tax was repealed, there were some farmers who paid a great deal more now than before the repeal of that Tat. Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that owing to some misapprehen sion on the part of the Collectors, a tax of P 3. 17s. 6d. was levied on the riding horse of a farmer; however. instructions were Issued to them not to make any such demand in future ; and to remove all misapprehension on the subject, it was his in tention to give notice that he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the collection better.—The Petition was Lid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Dlr. S. WORTLEY presented a Petition from the Ship. owners of Whitby, in the county of York, against the Bill in progress for the alteration of the Navigation Laws.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. COKE presented a Petition from the Ship-owners of the Port of Wells, in Norfolk, against the Bill for altering the Na vigation Laws.—Laid ois the table, and ordered to be printed. The,llon. Gentleman also presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in Norfolk, complaining of Agricultural Distress, and praying sr:Ref.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME presented a Petition, signed by nearly fifty Law Stationers of the City of London, ageing the MU in progress for regulating the Stamp Duties. The Petishlters complained that the Bill, if passed into a law, would lessen their profits front 306. to 20s. and would give the country sellers of stamps a eon. siderable advantage over thin.—The Petition was laid on the wide, and ordered to be pidneed. , The Irish Poor Fund UN Passed through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be brought pp tomorrow. The Committee o n the Colonial Trade Importation * Duties _ _ fill was postponed di tcraserrow. On the motion of Mr. eIIETW7IIO 6 the further midden. tion of the Report on the Vara= Laws Aln,p4ineat• was postpoattl till to-tztotrow. , t Mr. S. RICE said that the Right Hon. Gentleman . (Mr. Goulburn) did not deal fairly with the question. He did not think any confidence was to be placed in the measure intended to be submitted to the House by Government. The Attorney-General for Ireland had already fully stated what that measure would be, and what it would not. Ile Lad given no grounds for the expectation of much good to be derived from it. If the Bill in contemplation was merely to give a leasing power, it would give no security or confi dence to the laity, and consequently would operate only as a delusion. It was already found by expe rience, as in the case of the Episcopacy, to whom a leasing power was granted, that it did not 'effect a remedy against the abuses of the system. The sub ject, he thought, was one rather of delicacy than diffi culty,. and no half measure could prevent the discui sion of the subject, which, if the whole question should come under-the consideration of the House, would, in his opinion, be fraught with incalculable dangers to the Church. Would to GOD that the Pro testant Clergy of Irehuld could be summoned to the bar of the House! On the evidence of the respect able parochial Clergy—the working Clergy, he would be willing to rest the adjustment of the whole case. The well paid Episcopacy—he spoke of them as a body—individually he highly respected them ; but he must say, that the Episcopacy stood in the way of every arrangement which went to alter the pre sent system. Even the measure intended by Govern. ment, he believed, was opposed by the Bishops.— There was one statement which he thought it neces sary to mention to the House, because it was in some measure a proof that a more satisfactory arrangement than that intended by Government could be made. This 'statement was derived from Returns laid on the table of the number of causes tried in the Consistorial Courts in Ireland. The Return to which he alluded was from the diocese of Dromore. The number of causes tried in that diocese was only 15, and there was an agreement between the Clergy and landholders to pay att acreable tithe of from Is. 6d. to 2s.— This was a strong proof that a territorial assessment would be the best remedy against . the evils of the present system. His views on tithes must be greatly misunderstood, if it were supposed he sought to abo lish them ; he was far from coinciding in the opinions ' of those who, at the Union, would have stolen away the Church property without giving any compensa- tion. He thought it unfair to throw such unmerited censure on Irish landlords, and that from the highest 'quarter. This was no encouragement to them to exert themselves towards the improvement of the condition of that country. if it were intended they should exert themselves, they should not be held forth to odium and to be stigmatized. If Government would propose any measure which would throw the tithes on the rent, he would give it his most cordial, I anxious, and grateful support.
