The filaretiesi df LANSDOWN moved the second reading of the Rnglish Catholic Qualification Bill.— His Lordship evicted into a defeeee of the measure, against which be did net conceive that any opposition could be made, as its object merely was to put English • Cathblies on the same footing with lib Majesty's Catho. .. ,•. lie subjects in Ireland. In the year 1793, the Parlia ment of Ireland thought fit to extend to the Catholic subjects of that country the right of elective frahchise ; sod he saw no reason why a similar right should not be enjoyed by a mach smaller number of Catholics in Eng- land. He wished their Lordahips to consider the uniform bayalty and good conduct of the English Catholics, and • asked if it was just to exclude them from the enjoyment ea privilege which was essential to the support of the British Constitution. If there was any thing dangerous iu the enjoyment of such a privilege, let the Noble Lords who opposed this Bill point them out. If there was any dilTeregre, it omit be in favour of the Ca tholics of England, because numbers of indigent per ions enjoyed the prieilege in Ireland, who bad no will of their own, but the case was different in this awry. The privilege therefore of voting in this i • ountry could not be detrimental, as it was in Ireland. If ' the Bill then bad for its object merely to place.the Cattle . ~rj,.. 7 lies of England oil the same footing with those of Ire. Ir, - A land, .111. hoped this would not be ruttsidered'as a new _7 protioqtion, and that it wadi() nor he considered as a ,- - _ .'hasty s•cp, which their Lordshira might be afraid to attach. It should-birconsldered that this privilege was ' to be conferred for the benefit of the conhounity, and nut for the benefit of the Catholic exclusively, and, there fore, it would be no argument against this Bill to say that the English Catholics had not petitioned in favour 9f this measure. He knew that no accb petition would be e resented, and bad he been applied to, be would have advised them not to petition for any measure of a nature so limited as this. lie saw no reason for denying to the loyal Roman Catholics •of this country the same privi leges which.Catbolics In the sister country enjoyed,- he • • rbeNfore hoped that when the connection bet Ween Eng land and Ireland was becoming stronger everyday, this valnahle Constitutional privilege would not be denied lit the Catholic subjects of England. He should not • lave tronbled their Lordships with these observations, if it had not been said that the Roman Catholics would be placed on a better footing than Protestant Dissent ers; but that was not the fact, because they were still rtihjetst to the operation of the Test Act, and no Test Art existed in Ireland. Under those circumstances he • snored for the second reading of the Bill. Lord REDESDALE said he should oppose the second reading of this Bill. To the Government of 1793, he' s Vtributed the grossest error that ever was committed, in idmitting Homan Catholics tb the elective franchise in lt , land. Nothing was ever productive of greater agita tion and corruption in Ireland than that law. The effect . rf it was to create two interests io Ireland, constantly eiilitating against each other, and even the parties , elect-, mil under that system were not free men. The Act of li;rg William had for its object to support the eats. ltlished Constitution of the country; and he who did . not support the Protestant Establishment was not loyal to the Constitution of the country. If the law in fro land was not repealed, it did not rollow that, as it was an error, a similar error should be committed in this toas t:T. He never would go farther than relieve the Catho hes from restrictions from which they could consistently be relieved. He must say that this they was introduced ,under a false pretence. His Lordship concluded with sowing, that the Bill be read a second time this day three mouths. The Evrt of WESTMORELAND referred to the proceed' logs that took place in Ireland in 1793, and said that it had fatten to his lot twice to recommend, by his Majesty's oe• ders, V. e granting of the privileges allowed to the Catbolles of that country, and he now saw no reason why they should not be granted to the Catholics of England. Ile maintained, that the privileges granted in 1793, so far from giving rise to disturbances, tended to the tranquility of the country. lie did not believe that the passing of this Bill would in the tVgliest degree add to the disturbances of Ireland ; and he *as convinced it would have a beneficial effect in giving an 11 , F.tence to a body of men Who ought to possess a portion of latitience to a certain extent in this country. ' He had been It-stile to those Bills that went generally to remove all restrictions from Roman Catholics ; he wanted to leave the Catholics of Ireland where they were; t.nd that was the reason why he supported the present Hill ; because it went ts give certain privileges to men who could be fairly trusted with them, who ought to enjoy them in common with Irish subj.-eta ; and because it would go to limit the extent of the privileges that ought to be given to Catholics. Tile dishop of NORWICH said the present was not a re- Ihrious but a political question, and he would take this op portunity of protesting strongly in his own name against some of the clerical petitions that had been presented walk the extersiou of privileges to the Catholics ; for he was per t-qatted that no danger could ever arise to the Church of 'Ergland from acting oo the Christian principle of granting atone ,-ricileges. The language used by the enemies of re tqlous toleration was very 11l suited to the state of know idles and improvement that now existed In the world, and 1,111C4 be hoped that no Holy Allienee—(hear, hear)—would ever be obit to arrest. However eapedient or necessary It iiiVit hue been 104 veers ago to pass restrictive laws against the Csthelies, those laws he uow considered wholly linnet-es ssry, and contended that they should no longer be continued in brim. After the reasons for passime those laws had ceased to exist, the operation of them would be most an. I just. Every human insiitutioa meet yield to the law et change. and particularly so when the circumstances whisk had called. for the lostitutions became haimless. Naar persons entertain- I a great drevi of innovation; hut it was to innovation we were indebted for every veritable thing We enjoyed, and Christianity itself was an inners. tilt). Here the Hight Iles. Prelate spoke of the 'anon itrance which bad been made to the !Liman elppiror Valintinian by a licathen.high priest, who reinonstrated grealast the introduction of Clinsienity 'lmo the aniline; to the e ‘ vclusion of a religion that had etie:ed for so k mane years. The priest complained of it ityan inetivan this, and his visioning sees lost as ronclaslee &slim are 4*.glbents now assail la apOtitlo/1 to any deprovereeraC proposed to be bade tit Church or SW!.

His Lordship quoted a Osage from the work Of liisbop Burnett, in support if the eittettsiod of religiSols . liberty. He meat sty that bbirien'trete so firmly attethed to their King as his teltyli Catholic subjects; and he etiiiihtkided that the 'tate half no concerh in their private* sendinents: He bad now in his hands two. petitions, true froth' the inhas bitents of Norfolk, and cine (ro u t tile Clergy . of the some county, against the .siting of any concessions to the Catholics, and he trusted that their Lordships would torn a deaf ear to those petitions.--(lAughtlir) The Bishop of St. DAVI D'S said he could not con sent to a Bill that was merely calculated to • indulge 24'd who acknowledged foreign authority. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no consider- ation whatever would induce him to give Iris commit to this Bill. The idea was utterly unfounded that the clergy of this country were the only persons hostile, to the Catholics: his opinion was quite different. The opposition to the Catholics had not dirsinialied in this , country; and it was due to the country to make the object of the Bill sufficiently known before any at tempt was made to p ass it into a law. It was not cousistent with the dignity of . the Muss to entertain Inch a Bill at the end of a Session. it was a wawa which, by taking sway the oath of suprensecy; went to weaken the seprenticy of the throne; and for these rea sons Ile should . vote for potting off the Bill for. three months. He denied thut the Revolution was an ititio ration ; it was only a restoration of the liberties of the country. The Acts then pissed were intended for the support of those libesties; and it thuie Acts were doiie away, there would be no religious toleiitiuu in, the kingdom. One of the • greatest blessings of the Reve -1 lution was, that it estililiihed the Constitution of the Church and State, that it united thein, and setied the supremacy of the King. The Earl of HARIiOWBY, in answer to the objection of his Noble and Learned Friendthat this Bill had nut been brought sooner before that•liouse said that it had been introduced into the other House oeParliament three months ago, and had beau delayed by the pressure of other public business, therefore it could Out be sell that their Lordships came unprepared for the discussion of a measure of this kind. As to the merits of the measure ; itself, he would say, that alien a large portion of the most intelligent and respectable individua6 of the com munity were to favour of Any measure, it was the duty of Parliament to adopt, in me arid this was one reason why be should' suppor, the present Bill; for lie felt that the Roman Catholics of this country had the fairest claims to the privileges now proposed to be grant ed to them. If the Bill passed in - Ireland in 1793 had fixed a higher qualification for the right of voting, he believed a real blessing wound bare been conferred on that country, by granting the electite franchise to Ca tho cs ; that it would have made the Catholics much more respectable, and prevented that state of vassalage and mischievous subdivision of land which now existed in Ireland. The law then ought to lie objected town the ground of giving privileges to Catholics, but ou account of its destroying the independence of Catholic freeholders. Ile maintained that Roman Catholics were as capable of being good and loyal subjects as soy other class of peo ple in the count:) , ; and 1114 the utmost reliance tu gilt be placed under all Circumstances of damrer upon the Roman Catholics of England. He believed they Wight be as safely trusted in all cases of emergency as any of the Noble Lords in that House. His Lordship coucluded by giving his support to the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained The Earl• of LIVERPOOL said he was anxious to state his reasons for the vote lie intended to give ; and in doing so, he should abstain from the general Catholic question. The Noble Al arquess said that this measure had been extended to Ireland, and asked why it should not be extended to England. To this he would say that the privilege hiving been,once granted to the Irish, it ought not to be taken away from them without a breach of faith and of the articles of the Union. They could not then undo what had been done in Ireland ; but it did not follow that the same thing should be done in Eng land, unless a pressing necessity called for it. There was no a isdom in to ing to make institutious consistent in all parts of the Empire, because what was good for one part might be otherwise for soother. The history of granting the elective franchise in Ireland was a most curious one. In 1792 the Catholics of Ireland presented a petition to Parliament praying to be admitted to the elective frau. dim., on a higher qualification than was afterwards esta blished; the petition was rejected, and neithiog was ever more unfortunate than that opposition ; because iu the following year it led to the grant of the elective franchise on a very small qualification, which bad ever since been produitive of the greatest mischiefs. As to the Bill now before the House he load no objection to it ; because he considered the Roman Catholics of England, as a most loyal set of people, and he could see no objection to granting them the privileges now proposed. There was another Bill for allowing Catholics to hold certain mikes, and this Bill he would object to, because it did not cistinctly say what offices they were to fill, Ile con eluded with voting for the second reading of the Bill. Lord CLIFDEN supported the motion, as did also the Earl of LIMERICK. Lord MELVILLE said he approved of the principle of bathlls..but though be should vote fur the passing of the first through all its stages, and for the second reading of the second Bill, be should still propose a clause in the Committee against extending its provisions to Scotland. lt was with great regret be felt himself obliged to do so ; and nothing could compe: him to adopt adch a coarse but the conviction that the measure tended to violate the solemn compact entered into with Scotland by the Act ot Union. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained. The Marquess ot LANSLOII N replied. Ile under stood that the Noble Earl (Liverpool)agreed to the first, sad assented so far to the second Bill as that the Catho lies should be eligible in England to situations corre sponding with those to which they were eligible in Ire land. However, be (the Marquess of Lsnidown) would consent to deter the second 01.1 for the present, in order that it might be more maturely considered next Session. The sentiments delivered this night by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, were at variance with the opinion lie expressed in the other House of t'arliament, when he filled en inferior office to that whirl' he now held. Upon that occasion, when the Affirmation Bill relating to Scotland eas introduced, the Noh.e and Learned Lord said that it was sufficient that it person took the oath of allegiance to prove himself a true and loyal subject, without at all tatting the oaths ot sop: e meg. how, then, could the Noba and L.:trued Lied witu that opinion upon record. say this night that no man could be true and loyal who refitted to take the oath of snyrerniey ?—(Hear; bear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR explained. lie said that there was no analogy whatever betweio the two, castes referred to by the Noble ihropess. The Bill now before the Noose imiicised no terms oe conditions on the Rattles Itivolviti)e s principle similar to that contained bs the AlErinvt?ovi HSU.

The Earlasf oPinlon that a corn. clawai of IMO sbrt of other might ullitnatel, be necessary, bat lie thealeht It better that the measone should be tried as a l:dilatory title at first: Lord KING said that the Bill would be of no use what- 1 emir without the compelsoey clause. The people of Ire land had numberless causes of discontent, and no man could be :trprieed at the picture of carmaltous misery which that country now preeentell. This Hierarchy of Ireland pressed it down with a burden not to be endured. The proplb of Scotland were Content, beminee they heti an independent church, founded upon grelitand etptitebre inciples, with respect to every thing relating to its tem poral concerns. But how very different was the cam with Ireland, where the Established Church was intolerable to the people? The money-changers hail once bead tarn. ed oat of the temple, but they had absolutely got iota it in li•eland, where the clerked profeseion was tnedea trade of dime lucre, in which the most idle apprentice was too ofted the best pabl.—(Hear, hear.)

But It was said that divine service Iseult! not be performed with grace, unless there was a nuaieroue Hierarchy. lie would appeal to thuse who had attended Divine Service at !tattoo Cisedeu Chapel last Sinialey, whether Mime Service was not performed with grace upon that occasion, though there I was not a numerous Hierarchy I Ile believed that even the First Lord of the Treasury had attended. end WM. preacher heard that the great mitre-giver was present, he might pro bab'y bays said that be ought not to promote priests with priestly hearts. it appeared to he resolved, that the suffer ings of Ireland should never cease. Al human grieva-ces, , however, were liabie to end, except thOse perhaps of the Court of Chancery—(a lungli)—and Ireland might one day' er• other assert her rights. It was very ease for the clergy ; to come to some amicable arrangement, if they were dot so entirely prepossessed in favour of the divine right of Ohio. Lord EteLENBOROCCIII said he should oppose the l Dill, whether with or without the rlinpulsory clause. ‘Vtiat tan people of Ireland wanted, and want he desired, was a Commutation. and not a compositiou Tithe Bei. . 2 Tsui &Wet DARNLEY supported the motion. Lord ,14(1eLANI), gfter eulogizing the speech of itight [ter. Prelate, tie Bishop of Norwich, prostrate to observe; that as Bishop Headley hall said Hole flee Revolotioa would have proved no blessing nithoot Devolution, so 6114E11 la oniti have proved no bled- ag to Ireland without the compulsory chute. lie would vote for it, however, cossidering that it was the only miserable pittance that was offered as a boon to Ireland since the Union— a period of more than twenty years. The great object with Noble Lords on his side (if the (louse wee to emir Ministets to a conitmoation of tithes, and fur this g . ore reason, became. t'ee salter populi required it. The Notle Earl (Liverpool) seemed to have • great predilec tion for tithes in the abstract. Time Noble Earl desired to approach the subject as cautiously and as delicately as possible, and while he "thought that it knight be mately expedient to resort to a compulsory clau.e, he preferred trying the effect of the Bill as a voluntary utee sure in the fi rst instance. His Lordship had hoped that au offspring would have arisen from the principles which had been so often advocated—that a Hercules would have sprung from a Jupiter—that would have destroyed the hydra which opposed him. Without compulsion, the measure before the House woell never be carried lilt() effect. If it was to be done, it must be done by necessity. The liable and Learned Lord on the Wool.atk, in Hp course of that evening's debate, had declared that the people of England were latterly more averse to the mea sure tibial had been before their Lordships than they were formerly. Ile (Lord Holland) had always const demi the House of Commons an speaking the sentiments of the people of England; but it would seem that the Lord High Chancellor of this kingdom ea+ to speak the public voice. It wan the opinion of Mr. Pitt th tithes were the occasion of the most serious complaint on the part of Ireland. Let those who admired that great man, who formed themselves in Pitt-chrbs, follow his doctrines. Let not his sreehes he shut up in hooks unattended to ; bat let those who were devoted to him cead his speeches, and they would finu a remedy against the evils under which that unhappy country groaned. His Lordship cur.- eluded by agreeing to the compulsory clause. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no hesitation in saying that a compulsory measure was necessary ; hat it was also necessary first to know what wateexactly meant by compulsion. To fair and equitable compulsion lac had no objection : it had formed a part of the former bill, and had only been struck out, because differences of opinion arose with respect to the sort of compulsion. He coutt :etc! for the equity and legality of the principle of treating with tithes by Act of Parliament. The right of ownership in the land was a right subject to the charge of the tithes, and the tithes could nut belong to the owner of the land under any circumstances : in support of which positiou lie instanced the fact of land tithe-free selling for more than one-tenth above the mere value of the land. He was not prepared to advocate every law which stood upon the statute-hooks, and among those which be admitted to be unjust he should not hesitate to reckon that of agistment passed by the Irish Parliament. He defended from the attack of the Noble Baron (Lord Holland) the clergy of Ireland, than whom be believed a more respectable body. did not exist in any country; and as to their conduct with respect to tithe., lie believed no persons behaved. more Eberally. het this tried by the fairest test—let the tithe-pryers be asked to whom they would prefer paying tithes, to churchmen or to laymen—and it would be feline, that in every instance they would rather pay to the parsons. He did not mean to say that th e mea sure before the. House was a perfect one, but it wa • mai by the operation of Vile Bill that the real difficulties of the ease could be understood. For these reasons, lie felt obliged to oppose the motion. The Home the.. divided, when it appeared the numbers were—For the motion I (—Against it, 34. • The Bill then went through the Committee, was re ported withont amendments, and ordered to Ise re-cons. milted on Friday next. - 'fhe Irish Exchequer Courts 13111 went through a Com mitte; after wlai.Vibe House adjourned at half past Twelve o'clock.
