The transfer of Securities (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Brimstone Duties Drawback Bill was read a se- toad time, and committed for Monday. The Assessed Taxes Bill was read a second time. , • The Post-horse farming Duties Bill went through a 4 ". Committee.—Report on Monday. Mr. DENMAN presented a petition most nnmeronsly • el‘ned, from Liverpool, praying the House to take the b.e ile of striking Grand Juries nto their consideration, • and reform it. The petitioners particularly complained Sgrinst the power which the Sheriffs possessed. of ckbosing certain persons in a coujr4y, and returning them repeatedly to serve, to the exclusion of all others. They suggested that the right of serving on Juries should be tirade common to all. They also alluded to the outrage at Manchester, and they ascribed the imptt sky with which the actors in that affair escaped to the imperfect and partial made in which the Juries were Hoorn. They expressed their,gratitude to the Home for the proceeding. which they hail adopted, in inpriring, into the condort of the Slietiff of Dublin, anti privet them to torn their attention in the same %%Iry to the Mode in which justice was adminiiitered is this country. Mr. B. WILBitAItA NI defended the system, and eon. • tended that the constitutional mode was to leave the choice of the (Irani! Jury to the Sheriff. Lord S rAN LEY said that the Grand .furies of Lan essidre were chasen as impartially as those of any other rostity in Enel •nil. He admitte I, however, that there were items in the system which called for reform. Mr. H. PHILLIPS sepported the petition, and c in . tended that tl.e system loudly ri,illeil for reform.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented is petition from thi Fieemagons of Ireland, praptig that they might be ea. erred from the epeeetion of the Bill for suppressing Ss cret Societies i a Ireland. Mr. ABERCROMBY said, that if any exceptions were made, the object of the Bill would be defeated, The petition was !did on the table. Lord 'PALMERSTON presented a petition froth the Rev. 111.1)yain, against the abolition of 'Atwell la the West Imam—LW on the table. I. PHILLIMORE presented a petition from certain Roman Catholics of England, praying that they might not be obliged to have their marriages celebrated-by I clegywan of the Established Church, after they bad beet eolonsaised by clergymen of their own pbewitasioaas 'could not, however, soggest to the Noble Lord (Nugent) to Introduce the 'matter into his Bill, lest it might be pre judicial to tie success of that measure. Lord NUB ENT stiti.he felt the hardship, but did not think it came properly within the operation of his Bill. Kite was permitted to pass the Bill through a second reading now, he would take care that sufficient notice should be given before it was committed. Mr. MONCK strongly urged the necessity of making an alteration in the state of the law with respect to the marriages. The 'petition was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Sir J. MACINTOSH presented . a petition from the Churchwardens, Guardians, and Overseers of the Poor in the Palish of St. Luke, in the County of Middlesex, stet ' ing theta liege number of the inhabitants of that parish were Irish Roman Catholics : that the law respecting the mariisge of Catholics in this country had produced a train of the greatest evils to the Catholics themselves, and brought much inconvenience to the parish. In con sequence of those people omitting to have the ceremony of marriage perfumed by a Protestant Clergyman, either before or after it had been performed by a Catholic Cler gyman, their children were, in the eyes of the law, bas tards, mid at such became chargeable on the parish, al though the parents might he removed. All these anis fortiones, the detnoral!zation of the people themselves, and the constant liability of the parish to be unjustly bur dened with the maintenance of children, could be done away with by simply extending the same iednlgence in the case of marriages, to Cathalies that were enjoyed by Jews and Quakers. In -presenting. this antuerons and respertably signed -petition, he most say that be agreed in every thing that had fillen from his Honourable and Learned Friend near him (Dr,Phillimore), except in the opinion that a Bill so remedy the evil here complained of, could not meet with the concurrence of Pirliametit. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR thought that* Bill of this tia. tore was absolutely necessary. But he dished it to be understood, that great blame was imputable to the Cath olic Clergy of the metropolis, who were in . general well edocated men, and is hose duty it was to impress upon the hp Ties who were to be married the necessity othaving the cerefflony performed tsra 'Clergyman of the Ram hlished Church. He knew that in many parte of the country the Catholic Clergy, aware of the importance of complying with the law, unit mile enjoined it on their parishioners before they performed the ceremony. Dr. PHI LLIM ORE said he hail been misunderstood by his Honourable and Learned Friend. Ile had stated that some years ago he had drawn up a Bill to the effect now called for, but nn sounding the opinions of many members. he thought it hopeless to endeavour to carry It then. Ite had also lately recommended his Noble Friend (Lntd Nugent) not to meddle with that point in his sill, lent he should endanger the successor the whole. Mr. BENNET .said he wished that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would lose no time in bringing in the Bill, lie stated, he had drawn up, but ndt of fcred to the House. Never before, he would venture to say, in any Christian country—never in any part of the world pretending to the character of civilization, did such a state of things exist as bail been described in this petition. If there were any men in that House so low in in ellect, so bereft of all decent f-eliog, so worthy or an odious name, which no Gentleman could with propriety repeat, as to say openly that this was a state of things which ought to be continued, he (Mr. Bennet) would again pray his Honourable and Learned Friend to give such a person the opportunity of exhibiting himself to the world, to let the country see with admiring eyes the sort of persons who were sent there sometimes to repre sent the people, and establish'the fact that in England, which boasted of her superior lights and her advance nient in knowledge, there existed one—for he would fain hope there would be found no more —one, who, as far as hr was concerned, strove to bring disgrace on his coun try by advocating a system which was the shame and dicirace of our Marriage Laws.—(Hear.) ' Mr. ELLIS (of Dublin) said he hoped that no time would be lost in bringing' in the Bill.—(Hear.) He felt it to be a duty at all times to do every thing that lay within his power to remove the disabilities under which Catholics labour, as far as he could, short of granting them political power. It fell to his lot to vindicate the Catholic Clergy against the imputation of blame which had been thrown out by the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. M. A. Taylor. The fact was, that these Clergy took an oath to administer the sacraments of their Church ac cording to the rites and forms prescribed by that Church. Marriage in their Church was a sacrament,and a Clergy- man would be culpable according to his own opinions if ' ha-threw any obstacle, even though that obstacle should he suggested by the state of the law, in the way of mar ria e. The case wes one of conscience witli the Cl..rgy man, and lie thought that no blame could attach to them in this respect. Mr. 'TAYLOR said lie hail stated that Catholic Cler gymen in the country did advise their parishioners to be married first by a Protestant Clergyman. Mr. J. P. ‘.iltA NT s aid he h eurd the conversation which limijost passed with great plasmic. ale wished that the case of the Catholic Clergy in Scotland might be considered b- fore any Bill oats brought in. The noir rieges of Catholics by Catholic Clergymen in Scotland •ai valid. But thong's the marriage was valid, the Prittat was by law subject to heavy penalties. It was his ioitotte to hate snecesr,fully defended a Priest, who was indicted under this law in the Court of Justiciary for poet:orating this ceremony. He hoped shat this law woitld not he overlooked by the framer of the Bill which he hop. d would be shortly brought in favour of the Ca tholics of this country. Mr. M. A.-TA V LOR said lie was not aware that the !cows-letter. of the Priest was violated in recommending pat i , s to be . married, first by a Protestant Clerg ratan. All he could say was, that if they abstained front the rc- I commendation on that account, their consciences iv re yen tender, whilst those of the Priests in the CO"b7 allot possess Issry rations ones. Pr. PHILLI MORE said, the fact wee, that tke Cktholip • ofthe-parish of 81. Lake were mostly Irish Calli_„ a.,°"*. ware !accustomed to see the ceremony performw metetry by toe sPrieetalmne. which there wu legsZranilln_ tteacious of old habituated forms, they refused to go`'artssW the Clare) , of the ;unmet Chereh. The Petition was tejd on the table, and ordered to r. printeo. Sir J. MACINTOSH presented a petition from Kamm borough against the Customs Consolidating Bill. • Mr. HUME said that praise was due to the Govirement, for complying with the reasonable request which was made or them, to iht an ad valorem duty on Hemp. M. S. RICK said that he was surprised to fed that the duty on Flax sad Yaro In Ireland was retained, contrary to to a pledge. Mr. C. GRANT said that it was a mistake in the DW, and would be corrected. The petition was laid on the table. PRINCESS OLIVIA. 8100.1' 0 10BL moved that the petition which he preeillaelli forealhia lady on the gad of March should be printed. Hl' i tii=lblit Ministers would have Cr. this examined into tends ledy. If she was an impostor, it was jostled tiligl . to liameitatempoood. as At was a elegem end 10 o the family. that Le-world do all is his purer to ow at rest the pretensions of this lady. He should, therefore. on Wednesday next, move thatthe petition be referred to a Se lect Committee. Mr. HUME presented • petition from Thos. Ilodgson, a ship-owner of the Port of London. complaining of the pres sure of the ddty on hemp and other articles. by means of which the ship-owners of this country wereuot able to com pete with those of other countries. Mr. ROBERTSON showed how lejerionsly the Tonnage fluty operated against the Shipping interest of this eotiatry. If these evils were sot removed, the ship-owners would ul timately be raised. Mr. MABERLY said,if the Right Hon. Gentleman consi dered and reduced the duty, a great quantity of hemp would be imported iota this solaotrfr The petition waster:steed and laid on the table. Mr. HUME moved/Or Returns of the number of Prose cutions institoted hi . the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, for breaches of the Modes Laws.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. ELLIS presented a petition from the Brewers of Delano, Waterford, mad Cork, against the proposed re 'auction or the Duty on Spirits in Ireland. The Hon. Member said that- if the duty were lowered it would *sa ble the peasantry to pr..eure *irks with greater facility, which would ten I to demoralise the habits of the people. On farmer occasions when the duty'wes lowered, it was found to decrease the 9uantity of malt used ill brewing, by which, not the Revenue, but the Agricultural interest suffered. This Was a subject involving deep interests, and he eslled , upon the Howls to take It into its serious consideration. After a few words from Me. F. Lewis, Sir J. New. port, Mr. C. Hutchloson, Mr. Grattan, Mr. S. Rice and Col- Barry. the position was laid on the table. Mr. WESTERN said tie hoped his Honourable Friend the Member tor Weymosith, would give way with his motive. end allow the adjourned debate upon his (Mr. Western's) motion to be resumed. . . Mr. F. BU.::TON said that he would acquiesce on condi tion that the papers for which he would now move relative to the capture of the ship Requin. were granted, and allowed to be printed, and he would move for a committee on tbi 211 b inst. An Hon. MEMBER presented ■ petition from the Agde cell twists of Hereford, complaining of distress, and preyleg for relief.—Laid on the table. Mr. WYNN said, that during the last Session, a eom inupieatioo had taken place betireeu his Alejeety's Ue. veriment and the Directors of the East India Company, reopeethig certain 'newswire, as pawl*** ter cereal* Military Officers and Civil Funetionarier. It was then considered that 60,0001. would be adequate to the puts pose. Ile should therefore move, that a Committee he appointed to-morrow for taking into consideration the propriety of defraying the expense of a Court of Judica ture at Bombay, and also the payment of certain pensions to retired Officers, the Bishops, Archdeacons, and Clergy in India,—Motion agreed to. Mr. IiIiSIiISSON presented a petition from certain . householders in Livetipool, praying for an alteration is the Law respecting the mode of Ejecting Teosnts.—Laid on the table. Mr. Secretary PEEL presented .1 petition from theList.s drapers of Belfast against the Coal duties.—Laid 00 the table after a few words from Mr. Chichester. Mr. F. BUXTON moied for an arc° tnt of the items of 2.200,0'0 trance, paid by the French Licivernmat in 1814. in discharge of the claims of the owners of certain vessels captured at Bordeaux • and also for copies of the correspondence which took place on the subject between the Duke of lVeliington, Earl Bathurst, and Commissary o,4leby.—Ordered. ENGLISH CATHOLICS. [,cord NUGISNF wished that his Bill for the Relief of Englieb Catholics should be now read a second tiuse,,in order t. 4 avoid delay in the progress of the measure. At the saute time he pledged himself to give to the Hon. Gentlemen who were opposed to it due notice of the day when the discussion was to come on. Mr. BANKES, seu., said, that in the present state of the Session, when there was so much important business' to be gone through, he ;Gold not consent that the Bill in question should have the precedence. Lord NUGENT said that what be proposed was that the Kill should be read a second time, pro forma, dud that the discussion should take place iu a future stage, ' pledging himself that he should make no statement or comment on It at present. Mr. BANK Ei said he certainly could net agree to thq proposition of the Noble Lord, from : the reasons he had stated. Lord NUGENT observed that the lion. Member's op- i was conclusive. He had made tits appeal to his courtesy, but he must now say that he oohed Inns nothing whatever on that score. JBLE OF MAN CHARI Mr. BROUGHAM, in a low to of voice complained of the abuse of certain Charities, appertaining to the in habitants of the late of Man, and wished to. know from the Right lion. Gent. (Mr. Secretary Peel) if he had taken any steps on the subject. • ! Mr. Secretary PEEL said that he had instituted ao inquiry with r. spect to it, and that the Honourable and Learned Member should shorilll be made acquainted with the result. Mr. BROUGHAM obs-reed, that what the islanders complained of sirss that the Bishops (though tory . xerript ed the pres-nt Bishop,) hul appropri ited certain Chari ties to tie: ical purposes, and not tot the objects contem plated by she begitest. Mr. rtEl. s..id that hen' determined to satisfy hitrisellon the subject, he had male every possible in. qnire intu it, and the result was highly honourable to toe Bishop. lie (Mr. Peel) found that there were some funds which were not strictly appropriatel, and he gave it as his opinion that tbeie ought to be no departure from the original bequest. On a future day he should br prepared to give further informal ou to the Hon. and Learne•i Member. • Mr. BROUGHAM said he should wait t° be furnished with all the &Ws. CASH PAYMENTS.

A elleilliderable depression had taken place in the price of agri *Moral produce , whi c h was genera ll y and severely felt. Judging from all past ex p er i ence , he coed not look for env thins like a permao e n e y o f re li e f, b ut h e m i ght be permitted say that Le th o u g ht thi ngs were com i ng round to a mere favourable state.

It was at a dinner given by so*" gentlemen who were the supporters of the late Mr. Pat; that he expressed en cpinion that if that great statesman had lived to see the termination of the war, ace witemeed the vast saentlees the country had made, he would be so far impressed with our altered circumstauces, that m ithout the intention of raising Ley one interest above anothe. )10 would see the influeoce wheel the National Del t hail left on all property, and in consequ.oce desire to see an equitable Ladjustment 'Meted.— (Hear, bear.) Every hour mined to r i nfirm him (Mr. Wodehouse) ie the corr ec t ness o f ci s °pi - en. A remedy of some kind or other might have been adapted, Caller by a modilessiion of the currency, or by the operation of a Property Tax. By the adoption of one or both of these measures matters might so on well, but the re jection of one and the other had brought evils on thecounin ,cf which the wisest men in it could not foresee the consequeur,s. The Hon. Member then referred to the opinions of the late Mr. Henry Thornton and of Mr. Huskisson as at variance , with the effects produced by the alteration of the currency. Bat he celled upon lion. Members not to attach toeinselves to the opinions of the late Mr. Horner, of the late Mr. Thornton, or the late Lord Liverpool, wiMotit bearing has . mind the altered circumstances of the country. Mr. Horner would not In 1819 have held the same opinions test he held in 1810. Therefore the Honourable Member (Mr. Western) allele as well quote the opinions of a man who lived be fore the flood, and apply them to the present circumstances as quote the opinions of Mr. Horner in such an alt ere a state of thing. He had never thought that either the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Peel) or his opponents were right in their conception of the work in which they were engaged in liq 9. By too hasty an ackp•iob of the measures proposed be the Hon. Member for Portarling ton, they haul brought calamities on the country of the most disastrous nature, and it was their been - len ditty to expiate their ccnduct. The llott.Member then proceeded to comment on the opinions advanced by Mr. Ricardo in 1819, which he maintained sui:acqnent events ha I c . m pletelv refute& It was, he observed, quite ah.urd in that Hon. Member to say that the differsace of value which the alteration of the currency would Nrasion would b t no more than four or five per cent.. Ttae present Lord Liverpool had said that a man who went ?abroad at the commencement of the war, and returned !veep the peace was established, would find, as it were, f urw creation. When Gentlemen argued respecting the t:-' fects of tee improvements in machinery, they ought to consider the cause* to which those improvements w ere attributable. We inul expended ecwital of eoo,oofet (11 . . and anticipated the resources of ages, hut accordinc to eke doctrine of the Hon. Member for Portarlington thnt was to have no effect whatever on the value of CJlll modifies ; it was certain that .Ir. Herne (not the 110.1. Member for AberJeeue—a Leigh); held a contrary opi nion. He found it rated in' the Agricultural Report, that the progress of industry in this country defe I all Reiteration front precedent—His argument then wa - . ' Wald this happen without in extrailtdinty cause, !rear- log always in mind the extraordinary operation of tax ation ? He found i' stated in a pamphlet written l.y the late Mt. Henry Thornton. that the effects of coun'ry hanks in circulating the capital of the country tendrAl veryinuch to promote industry. The Hon. Member next read an extract from floater Essays, showing that the proportion which money bore to the price of goods. served to fix the value of labour. He (Mr. Wodeliouse) would ask Hon. Gentlemen to consider the extraordinary' issue of money hail not the effect of superseding the ordinary course of nature.—He would not taunt the Hon. President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Huskisson) with inconsistency, for it was impossible that a mail should b.: expected to carry the same set r f opinions with him to his grave. But when he found specula tive reasoning us..l in ref. rence to positive fa ts— when he found the Right Hon. Genleman telling: the ' country at one time, that i. was impassible we c u d :e- turn to the prices that existed before the war— when he found him going still further, and saying, let the law rico what it might, it would be impossible that the price of bread could be double what it then was ; hr (Mr. Wode house would put it to his sense as a man, and to his re putation as a statesman, whether language like that was meant to be sound policy at one time, and nothing more than a combinrian of mere expletives at another?— (Hear, hear.) Must not such language be quite enig matical to ordinary understandings ? The Honourable Member cited the opinions of Mr,Locke in his letters to Lord Somers.. The kennine simplicity and fosse of Mr. L cke's arguments were worthy of admiration, al tho ugh he did not know that if Mr. Locke now lived, be would reason in the same mintier. He was unwilling to trouble the House at any length, but his object was to establish the truth: He also referred the House to the works of Mr. James and of Dr. Coppleston, and thought the reasoning of the latter on the subject of the cur rency no better than nonsense, and his principles were refined Jacobinisin. Ile believed the most obsequioas of Queen Elizabeth's paramours could not pry lien .e mare flattering compliment, titan the line which was said to be inscribed on her tomb, " Moneta is imam)* valorem reddiia," as if she had reduced the currency to its exact value. But the value of the taxation of the country was increased in kroportion to the alteration in hey lest of the currency. That was a proposition which co gentleman could deny. He believed that in passing the Bill of 1819, all were mistaken in calk:filo' ng the pro • bable variation in the currency. Still he thought seine • mode might be found sufficient to remedy those thecae.- nienccs by the adoption of a silver standard of currency. Mr. JAM ES said he could .not pass by that opport if ty of offering a few words to the House. lie was not ao quainted with the opinions of 31r. Locke on the curt racy nor with Mr. Hume's essay an money, but he had teat the publications of his relative Mr. Henry James. Bat he also read the essays of Mr. Cobbett, who hal tiirawe more light on that subject than all the other pubis writers put together. lie thought that liovernni ant wee answerable for the conseqnences when it tampered with the coin of the oil time, and allowed piper to be substi tuted for it.
