IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF OF COMMONS-FRIDAY. The Speaker took the Chair at four o'clock. Several petitions of a private nature were presented, and ordered to lie upon the table. COAL DUTIES. Mr. T. WILSON presented a petition from the Bread Street Ward, in the City of London, praying for a repeal of the duties on coals. Mr. BYNO presented similar petitions from the parishes of Edmonton and Enfield. in the county of Middlesex. ELECTION RETURN. A MEMBER, whose name we did not learn, obtained leave to renew a petition of last year against the return for the borough of Bossiney. IRISH - TITHES. Mr. AGAR ELLIS moved that there be laid before the bottle an Account of the Names and Descriptions of the Parishes in Ireland which may have sent Memorials to the Lord Lieutenant relating to the Tithes Composition Bill, passed in the last Session; specifying the nature of their application and the principle on which the vestries may have acted, with their reasons for rejecting the terms of the Bill. Mr. GOULBURN said that he bad no objection to pro duce such papers, so far as it could be done consistently with propriety. He objected, however, to the statement of the principle on which the vestries acted in rejecting the Bill. Still, in order that the inquiry might he mule as satisfactory as possible, he would do all in his power. A conversation ensued, in which Mr. Agar Ellis, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Gonlburn, and Sir J. Newport took a part; after which the motion was carried. IRISH ILLEGAL MEETINGS. Mr. ABERCROMBY said that, as he saw the Hight Hon. Secretary for Ireland in his place, he would ask whether any prosecutions bad been instituted in Ireland under the illegal Meetings Bill, passed last Session. Mr. GOULBURN said that he did not know. Mr. ABERCROMBY replied that lie might be able to learn from some of his colleagues, when he hoped an an swer would be given to this question. DUTIES ON BEER AND MALT. Mr. MABEItLY gave notice that on the 6th May, lie should bring under the consideration of the house, the present unnecessary expense in the mode of collecting the duties on Beer and Malt. He wished also to know from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he meant to bring forward any measure for amalgamating and consolidating the Consolidated Fund. If not, he should himself make a motion for simplifying the Consolidated Fond, by which a large sum of money would be saved to the country. IRISH CHURCH REVENUE. Mr. lIUME gave notice, that on the 9th March, lie should submit to the house a motion on the subject of the property of the Irish Church Establishment, with purpose of effecting its reduction. Seeing the Right lion. Seen , . tary(Mr. Canning) in his plate, he be4ge.l to ask when he intended to introdire the long. promiged reduction of the consular appointments of the country? Mr. Secretary CA NNINt: said, that as to the "!ono. prJiiiis.d reduction," it wal not promised by him. lie believed, however, that something s itisfactory would soon he kid before the house on this subject ; in the mean time he would inform the Ilan. Member, that most of the salaries had been reduced. Mr. 111/ME said, that lie did not ;OWe so much to the amount of the a.ilarics, as to the principle on which the por ce.tage was collered, which he wished to bi hI te red. FO it El ON POLICY. Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave noti:m, that on Wednesday he should move for information relating to the evacuation of Spain by the French troops. Mr. Secretary CANNING rose, not to make any objection to the motion, but to suggest to the Noble Lord to alter the day. It had been felt sea great evil on former occasions, that a vast mass of undisposed business necumulated towards the end of the taession, and it had been considered expedient to set apart some middle day in the week tsr such hu.iinesi. lie was aware that the awne ei•cretina of any number of persona cutlid not bind any individual; but slid he hoped that the No hip Lord would be induced to name so ae other day. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that on the subject alluded to by the Right lion. Gentleman, he would give no opinion; Met he was ready to change his motion to Thursday the 12th. —(heat' ) AUSTRIAN LOAN. Mr. JASIES said, that be was desirous of eng 'ging the attention of the Right Hon. Secretary, upon a subject of mooch importance, and be hope) that 110.41 e satisfactory re ply might he afforded. When the Right Hon. Gentleman laid on the table copies of a Convention between the Em peror of Austria and his Britannic Majesty, upon the sob ject of the debt to this country, he (Sir. James) really concloded, that it was the instruction of .the Right lion. Gentleman to subunit that document for the sanction and approbation of the House. Ile found, however, that the document Ind been actually ratified by this Government. To him it appeared the moi.e proper and decorous method of asking first for the sanction of Parliament. lie would ask the Right Hon Gentleman, whether be did not think that he had been guilty of a most illegal and unconstitu tional act, in advising his Majesty to agree to such a Con vention without the previous assent of that Iloose ?—(a laugh.) This might appear a very radical view of the question, but he felt it his duty to state that even Mr. l'itt, in the plenitude of his power, had never ventured to— Mr. Secretary CANNING said, he was sure that the lion. Member must see, that he was entering into a ques tion, which might much better he discussed at another time. As to the illegality and unconstitutionality of his conduct, according to his experience and his view of the question, be should say decidedly, No. Ile was perfec.ly ready to meet the Hon. Member on the subject, and give him all the explanation in his power. He hoped, how ever, that the Hon. Gentleman would not ascribe his in— terruption to any unwillingness on his part to give an an swer, but to the conviction of the uselessness of any pre mature discussion. Mr. JAMES said that it would have been more conve nient if he had been suffered to proceed, as he sho mitt not detain the house many minutes. He would still repeat that the act of the Right Hon. Gentleman was most illegal and unconstitutional. He did not mean to ascribe any im proper motives, for of them he was completely ignorant. He bad always considered that it was the duty of that house tp take care of all matters relating to the public money. if Ministers could then give up the just claims of the people of England without the interference of that Honse, they might just as well impose taxes without the authority of that House. He saw by the Convention of 1795, that his Britannic Majesty had a right to sue the Emperor of Austria in his own Courts for a recovery of this debt. Wby had not the Bight Hon. Gent. instituted some process of this sort? Little hope now remained that the debt ever would be paid. In justice, therefore, to all other bankrupts, he hoped that the name of the Emperor of Austria would appear in the next GaZette.— (A laugh.) FOREIGN RELATIONS. Lord NUGENT wished to learn. from the Right Hon. Secretary whether he had any objection to produce certain papers which would tend to enlighten the House on the subject of our relations with Spain. He wished to know if it were his intention to lay before the House (or if he would assent to a motion for the purpose), copies of the instructions given to Sir W. A'Conrt between the period of the French troop s entering Spain, and the evacuation of Cadiz; and likewise copies of all communications during the same period , from the Span ish Government and Sir W. A'Court. If the Right HOD. Secretary would produce, or consent to the production of these paper!, he (Lord Now i Nowt), would postpone his intention of moving for them. Mr. Secretary CANNING . —.1 have no i ntent ion to lay 7, , I .‘ 7 , , 7. , I . 7 :1 r' ) it 4 It. 1 , 1., . , i , .-„,,, t i ) TIIE STATESMAN • - - such papers before the Honse. Whether 1 shall or shall not oppose the Noble Lord's motion, depends entirely upon the case he makes out. Lerd NUGENT said he should give notice of a motion for some early flay, upon the conduct of his Majesty's 511- , maters relating to the war in Spain, how far they had kept ' their professions of neutrality. USURY LAWS. Mr. S .rgeant ONSLOW postponed his motion on this subject until Tuesday next. BURIAL OF CATHOLICS IN IRELAND. Sir J. NEWPORT moved for copies of all communica tions to the Lord Lieutenant respecting the Bnrial of Ro man C Itholics and Dissenters in the burial grounds of Protestant Established Churches of Ireland, with the an swers thereto. Mr. GOULBURN said, that it was always a matter of regret to be obliged to withold any information which might he deemed necessary to the elucidation of any sub. ject. The House must be aware, however, that there were cases when the disclosure of such information would be productive of great evil, without any commensurate be nefit. Upon such occasions, it was the duty of those in power never to grant any statements which bad been made to them in confidence. He hoped that the candour of the. Rt Hon. Bart. would induce him not to press his motion. The papers were unnecessary to his own view, and there were circumstances which would render their production the source of the most serious inconvenience. The Intention of the Hon. Baronet was to repeal the Act of King William, prohibiting the interment of Catholics and Dissenters in the Establishment burial-grounds. Against the propriety of the repeal he had nothing to say. It might or might not be proper, but lie was sure that the communications to and from the Lord Lieutenant would not enable the House any better to judge of the propriety of such repeal. This, of all subjects, was one upon which the production of doeittnents should be re fused. It was one on which the minds of men were easily and strongly excited.—(Hear.) The popular feelings were more liable to agitation upon the question of burial than upon any other. —(flear, hear.) To call, therefore, on Government to lay upon the table of the House communi cations of one party made in the pledge of confidence, would be to provoke opposition on one side, and to raise dissensions on questions which had been settled. Govern ment ought to stand in such a situation as to be absolved from the necessity of committing a breach of trust, parti cularly when such a breach of trust would tend to the exeitemunt of serious dissensions. There was a strong feeling on this subject with both sides in Ireland, and be I trusted the lion. Baronet would see the expediency of not pressing his motion. Sir J. NEWPORT said, that if there were any impru dence in the case, it rested entirely with those episcopal and ecclesiastical orders who had provoked the contest, and who hail endeavoured to strip the people of Ireland of their rights. The view he took of the case was warranted by the late, and not the present Government of Ireland. Daritte the time he held an official st ition in the Govern- I meta. the qnestion was raised, and the view he now took was sanctioned by the conduct of the Government then. It 1% ai material that the matter should be brought before the (louse. Upon the rites of interment the feelings of the people in Ireland, and, indeed, throughout the globe, were more alive than any other, Why, then, should the episcopal orders be allowed to annoy and distress them ? ilis object was not only to repeal the Act of King IVilliain, but also to secure to the Roman Catho lics and Dissenters their rites of burial. He hoped tha house would not refuse the information be desired, as they would not be competent to discuss the subject without it. He should certainly divide the house on the motion. Mr. (;RATTAN said, that a distinguished Judge had grossly insulted the people of Ireland in one of his charges. Ile doubted, however, the expediency of pressing the motion to a division. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said, that this was a question which very deeply and warmly excite I the people of Ireland. If it were possible in any other way than by the production of the papers moved for to settle the ques tion, then he would concur with the Right lion. Gent. But it dill not appear that this was possible: He would state distinctly the grounds on which he would proceed if the Eight Hon. Itaranet would persevere in his motion. But the Right lion. Gentleman, the .Secretary for Ireland, said that he believed by that passed in Ireland, the ques tion had been settled. Mr. tiOULBURN said that he meant that the qnestion was very likely settle.) in those reticular parishes to which the documents now demanded referred, but be did not say that the question was generally settled. Mr. A BERCROMBY repeated that there was in Ire land the strongest feeling on that qaes'ion, and it was necessary that it should be clearly and distinctly settled ; if not, the consequent would be, as the Hon. Member for the County of Wicklow slid, that the interment of the dead would be an unfailing source of quarrels and riots. Did the Right Ilan. Gentleman tell the House what pro gress the Irish Government had themselves made in putting an end to the disputes on this question ? Or did hs say that they bad any measures under delib , ration to settle this question, and that the effect of the House's interfer ing' would ba t ► impede the progress of that measure? But the Right lion. Gentleman said no such thing ; on the contrary, what the Right Hon. Gentleman did say, was calcWated to increase his (Mr. Ahereromby's) fears as to the extent to which those feelings, already so warmly excited, might go unless sopped in time. The first question to be ascertained was, what was the practice as to those burials; and the next was, what was the law. I In order to have sufficient knowledge on these prints, the House should be furnished with the fu:lest information on the subject. Ile was restrained by his consideration for persons who were in the Church—for he had many friends members of the Church, from giving utterance to his feelings on this question. (Hie side maintained that they were only acting in conformity to the I sem while the other party denied the existence of such laws. ,Others again were of opinion, that if ever such laws did exist, they ought riot to be enforced. Now lie contended, that unless the Gov..rnment took on themselves to settle the difference, arising out of this question, the House was baund to call for the fullest information, and to bring them to a speedy conclusion. Mr. Secretary PEEL rose to observe that the Honour able Member for Wicklow (Mr. Grattan) might not proba bly be aware of the nature of the quesiion was in volved in the Right Hon. Baronet's motion, and lie might therefore be taken by surprise. There were now two mo tions, one of which stood for the preceding day, and the other was made that night. It would be, in his opinion, better to separate those questions, one of which was of so delicate a nature, and so well calculated to excite warm feelings. The simple question before the home at pre sent was, whether certain papers were t 3 be produced. His Right Hon. Friend founded his resistance to the Right Honourable Baronet's motion on the grounds that the pa pers were not necessary, and that the production of tnem might irritate the parties in Ireland. If, as his Right Hon. Friend thought, the production of these papers would be dangerous, would the house insist on them ? If a grave question of law were to be decided, were these pa pers to be of any assistance ? He would reserve for ano ther occasion the expression of his opinion on the main question which the Right Honourable Baronet had in contemplation by those papers, but he at present agreed with his Right Hon. Friend that the production of them would be attended with danger. Mr. CALCRAF r said, that the course adopted by the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for Waterford, was the usual Parliamentary course of proceeding. Certain docu ments were deemed necessary to give the house informs-. Lion on a subject which was to be brought undcr discits sh,n. The Right Hon. Gentleman on the other side ex pressed his opinion that the production of those docu ments would bt,at present, dangerous to the tranquiility of Ireland, and on that ground resisted the motion. But these papers, now required, were not at all secret docu ments, and the question was, whether they were to lie on the table for the perusal and instruction of all the Mem , bars, or to be used privately by such Ilion. Memberss as happened to get possession of them: for it was easy for every Hon. Member to get them. Were those papers then to be confined solely to those individuals, and the house generally to be deprived of them ? if the Government were prepared to undertake the settlement of the differ ences that arose on this subject, he wonld acquiesce and give up the present question to the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gwilburn). That Right lion. Gentleman was no derstood to say, that by something that occurred in Ire land the question was settled, but subseipteltly lie ex plained that his assertion was confined to the particular parishes to which the papers referred. If the Right lion. Gentleman had shown that legislative measures were not necessary, then, indeed, lie might resist the production of the papers. He would advise the Right lion. Baronet, if those documents were not willingly granted, to take 'the sense of the house on his motion, and thereby let the eople of Ireland see what sort of an Administration the y Lad —(Hear, and cheers). Was a sect—a degraded , sect ...not to he permitted to bury themselves—he meant their Own members—in the tosnwr in which they were accus tomed ? If another such instance was to be found in the whole world he desired the Right Hon. Gentle:nen to name it. The Honse then divided and the numbers were— For the Motion 39—Against it —Majority against it 17 PA [LOCH! A L ASSESSMENTS (I ItgLAN D.) Sir JOHN NEWPOICr moved that there he laid before the house accounts of the several sums of money expended in Ireland, by authority of vestries, in building parish churches, and in payment of salaries of parish clerks, &c. for the List twelve years, specifying the several parishes and the amount of the several as,esstuents for each year. Mr. 6015LBURN said that be bad no objection to the motion, but he submitted to the Right Hon. it ironet i I a shorter period would not answer his object, as there would be great difficulty in making out the accounts for so many years. The number of accounts on their tube would be equal to 500 multiplied by 12. Sir JOHN NEWPORT was not aware of any dif iculty. as the vestry-books were, or at least ougut to have been, regularly kept, and the accounts passed at annual vestry meetings. His object in asking for those accounts, was to show how heavily and ilOWunrqu‘lly that tax pressed upon the people of Ireland for the last 12 years. His :notion was agreed to ; as was also another made by 'the Right Hon. Baronet for accounts for a similar periot of all monies expended under the authority of the 21st of George 11. chap, S. in repairing parish churches in Ireland, in furnishing them with organs, stoves. s g e. CONSIABUL %RV ANL) INSUItitEC TION At Mr. J. GRATTAN moved (A. returns of the total number of Magistrates, Constables, and Subconstables appointed under the Constabulary Act, passed in the Session of 1822, specif)ing the several Counties and Baronies, distinguish ing those of the Catholic religion : specifying those that were brought to trial for their conduct in the execution of their duty or otherwise, with the result of such trial—also specifying those that were confined, and the gaol in which they were eontined, as well as those that were dismissed from their offices. Mr. 6oulatiußN said that he di I not well see how he would be able to distinguish Catholics from Pro testants. Mr. GRATTAN said that lie saw nn difficulty in mak ing the returns by making application to the County Officers. It was of great importance to ascertain how those appointments were wale, and what was the result of the Act. This motion was then agreed to, as was another made by the same lion. Ale:ober for returns of the numbers and names of person committed under the authority of the lu surrection Act in Ireland from Jan. 1823 to Jau. 152-1, spe cifying each county. stating the day of commitment, whe ther committed or discharged, and adding the number now in conliiminent and in %emit gaol._ ... SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mated that a Supply he granted to his Majesty. Mr. HUME, on the Speaker's putting the question, expressed a hope that no coition for a Sit3ply would be made until the Estimates were first laid before tke house. Tue SPEAKER observed that the motion was one of the rules of the house to vote Supplies generally to his Ma. Jest,. Sir J. WROTTESLEY said that lie hoped the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Excheytter would explain what measures of finance he meant to adopt in ref-recce to the arrangements alluded to in his Alajesty's Speech. This ex planation was necessary, as before the financial statement various sp•cnlations would he going on in the meantime. Some who mizlit by sonic means be acquainted with the measures to he purstiel wo:ila take advantage of that know ledge to the ruin of others, who h hl not pa,sessed the sante information. He wised, therefore, that the Right Hon. lientlent in would (ix an early day fur the eunvenicoce of all Hon. 'Members. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sail that hi. intention was to inform the Hou•e of the measures he would pursue. The form A mode of doing so, eas in a Committee of Ways and Means, waich he would fix for Monday, the 231 instant. The motion was then a•gree.l to, and it was ordered that the house do on Monday next resolve itself into a Commit tee to consider of sail Supply. CHANCERY COURT. On the motion of Mr J.
