Another of these emigrant wanderers was taken in a similar say, at Sea ford, and presentel to Lord Gage; but feeling, like its ktni/ad bird, the loss of liberty, that too drooped, aid died : shewints, that life in capacity, is abhJrrent to the nature of those free-bred birds.—(Sesser Adv.) .ILS. ♦RR.

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE rose for the purposeof pre:ea . - ing the petition of which he hail yesterday given noti. e. The petition was from an individual named Wil! a a Parker, of the city of Cork, who was better knoo a to other honourable Members of that House than to hie" (Sir T. Lethbridge). E. was known, he understood, is particular to the Hon. Member for Cork. He was anx ious to be understood that there were many allegaloos in the petition for the truth of which be would not vouch, and one in particular, which related is the con duct of an individual employed by the British Govera ment in a foreign colony. He could not vouch for the troth of that allegation in the absence of the indisidual charged, and in the absence of the answer which be might produce. He prefaced that for the purpose of guarding himself from any imputation of von hing fur the allegations generally in the petition, or the apt-chic charge against*the individual. That person was Lieute nant-Colonel Christopher Bird, Colonial Secretary at the Cape of Good Hope, through whose hands, he believed, that the business of the colony had passed for many years. The Hon. Gentleman then read the petition, which set forth that the petitioner, Wm. Parker, late of Cork, who proceeded in the year 1519 to the Cape of Good Hope, had seen with great uneasiness the late cala mi,ies in Ireland, and he feared that . the House hal not received a fair representation of th 9 real canoe of these calamities. In his opinion, they were owing to the secret and insidious designs and practices of the Jesuits—(Hear: and a laugh)—a rlitical and rs- L mi ligious sect, which was founded by Pope Paul the Third. ---The history of the Jesuits proved their general oppo sition to the principles of liberty. Thougu they acre a learned body, the information they collected was not ex.- ercised with a view of counteracting su rstition or ig nee, but for the nourishment of - y.— (Hear, and laughter.) In the words of Hume, they re tired away all the distinction of morality. In opposition to these societies, a union of loyallYs was founded by King William the 'I hird, of glorioits and immortal m-- mory—(Hear, and a laugh), and the petition concluded, by praying the house to institute an inquiry into the baneful practices of the Jesuits.—(llear.) By the Bull of Pope Pius the Seventh, the Jesuits were re-established in 1814. The petition also prayed an inquiry into their conduct, not only in England and Ireland,. but in the colonies, particularly in the Cafe of Good Hope, where Lieut.-Colonel Bird was Colonial Secretary, who was himself a Jesuit (loud laughing), and the brother of a priest, through whose baneful influence he (Faker) severely suffered.—(Laughing.) With regard to the Jesuit establishments in Ireland, the existence of which had been denied, be considered that Irish newspapers were as good authority as the public press in this coon , try. lu those papers he frequently saw notices of the Jesuit schoo!s. ft could not be forgotten that an hon. baronet had declared in the house, in 1814, that 30,01:01. was remitted from Rome to found a Jesuit establishment • in Ireland. Clore upon that followed the Bull of Pope Pius re-establishing the Jesuits. That sum of 30,0001. was expended on building an establishment, which for- Overly went by the name of Castle Brown, bat was at present known by the appellation of Collightany. Wh t , the object of those Jesuits was he did not know, as they were not famous in disclosing their views—(hear ! and a laugh), but he was sure they were not idle since, as they have extended their plans to other parts of lraand. There was a chapel in Hardwicke-street, in Dublin, un der their care. It therefore excited surprise when he heard Irish Members, and in particular an hon. Irish county member, say that he never heard of Jesuit esta blishments there. There was another establishment at a place called Harold's Cross, the purchaser of which . was Doctor Murray, a Roman Catholic priest, and was called the coadjutor of the Catholic Bishop. If the qnes lion was asked what harm have the Jesuits done ? he would answer by asking another, what good have they done?—(A laugh.) He would not be put down in the performance of a solemn duty by any laugh or manner, or by any thing but fair argu ment. If they had Lot done harm, the Jesuits would not have been expelled from several kingdoms. It was known to every man who read history, that con stant resolutions were taken by different states to get lid of them. They were expelled from Chica in 1752; from Paraguay in 17 63 ; from France in the same year ; from Bohemia in 1766; from Spain in 1747 ; from Naples and Parnsa in •1765. Even Bonaparte, who knew men's mo tives, and who knew their's, would not allow them to r. - main in Frame, subject to the authority of their General at Rome. This lie said on the authority of a work whicit was read in and oat of every literary society—Duette O'Meara's work. It was no idle fear to apprehend every thing from the Jesuits in Ireland. Their existence teemed with danger to the State. He had heard gentl. men from time to time attribute tile disorders of Ireland to ditfereut causes; he had seenthe most profound mystery observed in the statementof these causes; but why should they no: speak out, anti confess that the Jesuits were at the bot , o:a of all?—(A laugh.) There had long been in that COAT.- try some undergrounded plot at work, dark, ;luster:- ous, and unfathomable—terrible front its privacy, and as the condition of society proved, its extensive ramifications savoured strongly of Jesuitical manufacture. The adv.- rates of Popish. emancipation bad often said that the d•s orders in Ireland had nu reference to religi msdiffereoccs, but in opposition to that, he would refer to die speech of the present Att-rney-lieneral of Ireland, in the rere- , t trials of some of the ICibbondnien, are as ayociatios composed exclusively of Catholics, leagued together to: purposes dangerous b.) the Constitution. Here thrti teas an admission that the distu rbances in Ireland were of a religious nature. And, in fact, entry titan %he at all DUt. r~3 I " I f •
