_ - as Gentlemen la that House made use of wine. It world recollected, that visa Mr. Berke wis eloquent la praise of D Several clauses were then agreed to without" discnisimt, and the House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be read to-morrow. ENGLISH CATHOLICS. Mr. GOU.LBURN moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Irish Insurrection Act. Lord NUGENT wished the Right Hon. Gentleman to give precedence to his motion, respecting the ItilEfOr the ranee the English Catholics. Mr. GOULBURN then gave way, and on the mete* of Lord NUGENT, the House resolved itself is &Com. mime on the Elective Franchise Bill. The first clause having been put by the Chairman, • Mr. If KS stated bit objections to the NHL which be considered the more important of the two measures vu ,'petting the English Catholics before the House: 'The Elective Franchise conferred political power which he felt ignore objectionable to bestow on the Catholics than mere officers proceeding from the will of the Exeeptive. Be conceived het there was no difference between the fran chise of electing and that of Ifeing elected; nod that therefore if the Catholics got the one they might as well get the other. It wart, he understood, the opinion of those who advocated the cause of the Catholics, that re ligion was not to be tried by its tenth, but by its num bers. If this were to be admitted, then, as the Catholics of Ireland were far more numerous than the Protestlote, the Catholic faith ought to be the religion of the State. Again, it was argued, that the claims of the Irish Who-. lies ought to be granted, because of their great numbers, and those of the English Catholics became they were eery few. and very respectable; so that be they few er be they many, the Catholics were to hive 'vial claims. The Jesuits were doubly daagernes.nqw that they were unquestionably established; both in England and Ireland. and that they would be zealous for extending the power of him by whom their order had been restored and en couraged. The English Catholics hid no grievance, on the score of toleration, to redress ; . they could not coin plain that the law had not been purely,admipiatered The Hon. Member conten led, that if political power were granted to the Catholics, It would be extremely dangerous. Mr. H. GURNEY contended that the measure would have n 6 political effect in this country. Mr. YATES PEEL supported the Bill, bat would not go one iota beyond it In the way of concession, . Mr. JOHN SMITH con.tenilett, that the eitillitau that ajudoment of a saan'icondact should be formed from his religious opittions' was unjust and unfair. He instanced the Quakers. Though they held that it was improper to make any resistance whatever, yet oo DIM ventured on that account to pull a Quaker's nose. He gave an in verter of a Quaker, who, when he had been ipsulted,iaid tu the man by whom the insult was given, " Friend, I may not insult thee, but that hindereth me not from as-. snaging thy brat ;" and.bating said this, he took hi m to the trough at the panto., and pumped upon him for the space of itinratee, smiting bin', at the end, ". Friend. art thy no.tr coot, tied bath thine anger left thee' if.,thou be yet in heat, I Ain administer unto thee yet farther." .Mr. PEEL supported the Bill. As the law 'teed be did tot think it satisfactory. There was nothing inconsistent in granting the right of voting to Catholic', and yet to deny them the right of sitting in Parliament, He thought that the paucity of their numbers and the respectability of their conduct recommended the Catholics of England to the privileges held out to them by the Bill. He was as strong as his Honourable Friend against g iving t) the Ca tholics the power of sitting in that House, it not appre hending any danger from the present measure he %%mild . give ibbirsuppert. • • General OA SCOYN E regretted the sperch'ef the Right fibnourAle Gentleman (Mr. Peel). The •Protestant s looked upon him as the friends of the Constitution. He (General Gascoyne) had hitherto adopted the opinions of the Right Honourable Gentleman, bat be could not go with 61111 now. The Right Honourable Gentleman had changed his ground, and he might before lung see in stances of the consequence of having done so. Mr. LUSHINGTON supported the Bill. Lord BINNING regretted that the Catholics of Scot land had not .been included in the Bill. He would have proposed an Amendment to that effect, if he were not ap , prehensire, that it might risk the success of the Bill. The Catholics were excluded by the Act of Union, but be thought that Act ought not to perpetuate oppression and injoinice. The Scotch Church had declared its iron silent' on the question of the Catholic Claims. In 1813 they petitioned that House. praying that care might be taken, is the Bill then pending before Parliament, of the Institutions and established religion of the country ; with respect to the rest, they left it to the wisdom of Perlis sgesrt.And from that clay to the present, the General As sembly of Scotland did not take any part whatever in the question. Mr. GOOCH opposed the Bill. Ile knew many Catho lics most loyal and respectable, be had a good opinion of them, blit he would oppose the removal of the residential; that were placed upon them. Mr. SMYTH said lie came to the House prepared to vote against the Bill, but the speech of the Right Ho nourable Gentleman (Mr. Peel) induced him to support it. Mr. G. BANK ES opposed the Bill ; he regretted the , course which the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. P.) had Hon that night, lie hoped he would live to repent it. (a laugh.) Mr. W. SMITH supported the Bill. BUTTERWORTH strongly opposed the Bill ; lie was not intolerant ; he hoped the Rouse would not grant any concessions to the Roman Catholics, because lie was a friend to civil and religious liberty,—(A laugh.)—He was convinced, that to grant any thing to the Roman Ca tholics would endanger the Constitution. He might appeal to the Rt.Hoo. Gentleman, the Secretary for Ire land, whether Jesuits had not distributed books in Ire land, which hail been much read, and which ii a great measure contributed to increase the disturbances in that country? Mr. HUME said, he had never heard any thing,more tiptoed or illiberid than the speech of the Honourable Member who had just sat down. It was incredidible how a man professing to he a Christian—a man of so much experience as the Rt. Hon. Gentleman had spoken, in apparent alarm of Jesuits. He would tell the Honour. , able Gentleman that Protestant Jesuits were much more slang and more active than the Jesuits to which the Hon. Gentlemarialladed.-.-(Ffeer, bear.)—The sect to which the Honourable Membrr belonged were the Jesuits from whom lie apprehended most danger; they were zealous, active, persevering, and they secretly, but constantly worked to undermine the established religion. which they pretended to respect.—(Hear, hear.)—The Methodists, above all others, were the most dangerous enemy to the Church. The Hon. Gentleman was a Me. tbodist; mot there was not a Illi4ll who cherished in his brevet the slightest respect for toleration, that must net condemn the 'speech of the Honourable Member. He hoped there were few of the sect who entertained the muse sentitniates. W they did, he hoped the Government would keep a stoutly eye on them as most dangerous else. mies. For the last filmy years, they were most active in promoting the strength and power of their body ;—tbey were hostile, and if the Honourable Gentleman repro, seated Arm, they were intolerant. No Catholic ever exhibited greater Intolerance than was to be found in the opioiona delivered, by the Honourable Gentleman that night: tar. 'BUTTERWORTH said. that the Methodists would take it as a compliment to be attacked by an indi. ',idolsl who bad defended the ptintlyleeif THE • bir. ilUatt saint if the HoO. Gentleman. atimiden to facts, and stated what ',mune (order, order!) — The CHAIRMAN hoped the Hon. Gentleman would net indttlge in pereonalobeervations. Mr. HUME paid, the Hon. Gentleman had made an assertion with regard to him which was not true (hear, hear!) The charge made by the Hon. Gentleman was far from being founded in fact. Lord NUGENT replied. He said that the apprehen sions with respect to Jesuits were unfounded, there were sot now three Jesuits in the country. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, For the Bill 89--Against it-30—Majority 59. IRISH iNsugazartON ACT. - - Mr. HOULBURN moved the ,third readies of this Bill, Mr. BENNET protested against the measure; it was most unconstitutional i it had failed It every time and ht every place where it had been tried; he was convinced that whilst it bore down the last appearance of Constitu tional liberty in Ireland, it would also increase the dis content and alarm of that unhapp y country. Colonel 'FRENCH regretted that necessity compelled him to rote for the Bill. Mr. DENMAN protested against the Bill—it was unconstitutional and oppressive. He was shoeked to witnem the impatience shown by a Majority of the House to pass such a measure at so late an hour, and without allowing any diteussion upon It. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. • The Irish Unlawful Osths' Bill passed through a Cam mittee of the whole House, without any amendments, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. LORD ST. VINCENT. The King's message was referred to a Committee of the wiwel.

' After a few words from Mr. Hum, the resolution was tarried. The House resumed : the report to-morrow.

WARD: This was an issue out of Chancery to try whether William Cotton, who died in Noveinher 1319. Was legiti mite. The•plaintiff's twins conducted 1w the SOLICITOR* GINERAL, Mr. °WINE; Mr. ?RAISON, Mr. N. CLAIIILI, jun , and Sir. Atla i tnAx; and the defendant's by Mr. SCARLETT, Sergeant LIOSANQUIT, Mr. DINMAN and Mr. 8. M. Pletiurs. This was a secondissus ;upon the same question. the first having been triad , Abe Common Pleas, and the Lord Chancellor having granted a second, the case came on now for trial. The plaintiff's case alone occupied the I whole day, and was not closed until seven in the evening. The question is ef considershle importance to the parties, the property depending upon the result. which consists of landed property no Shropshire and other counties, being estimated at upwards of eOO,OOOl. The question was, whether William Cotton's father and mother were mar ried before his birth, which 'took place la 1740. The plaintiffs claimed as co-heiresses of the deceased, who was a latratie. and the defendant claimed as devisees under the will of the younger brother deceased. An immense body of eVidence, documentary and parole, was received for the pnrposs of establishing the legitimacy of Mr. 4;otma's birth. The documentary evidence consisted of wills, family settlements, and conveyances, throughout which Mr. Cotton was treated as the legitimate son of bit father and mother. The parole evidence consisted of the testi mony of old persons who were acqnainted with the family, and the reputation of the deceased. Fedna their testimony it appeared that Mr. Cotton had always been reputed to be a legitimate child, and none of theds had erer beard any suggestion to the contrary. In addition to these heads of evidence, it appeared that the defendant, who had been appointed receiver of the estates, had him self, on repeated occasions, in applications to the Court or Chancery, respecting the lunatic's property, treated him as a person of legitimate birth, and had dealt with his property upon that footing. At seven o'clock the further bearing of the case was ad o, j aimed until to-morrow. OLD BAILEY, MONDAY, Juxa 30. --....0..0- CHARGE OP rozcznr. S. W. Miles, a young man 19 years of age, of a very respectable appearance, was indicted capit illy for utter ing forged :V. 13a , 1 of England notes, well knowing them to be forgeries, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The first svitness called was Richard Davis, a broker, of Windmill-street. The prisoner called upon him on the 9th of June, at about half-past ten in the evening, and said ha bail just come from sea, and wanted a era-chest. — The prisoner said, " You know my father, Miles, of Is lington." Witnesshad known the father. The prisoner afterwards added, that he had just come from the Clyde Indiamatt, and bad had a very prosperous voyage, and that in a few days he should receive 1301. The prisoner, after choosing for some time, fixed upon a chest for 305., which was seat home to the prisoner. in payment, a forged Al. Bank of England note was given. A porter tben proved the delivery of the chest at the prisoner's lodgings ; and Captain Driver, of the Clyde licensed ship, proved that although the prisoner had been a voyage in the ship, yet that he did not now be long to her. Mr. Wuntner, the keeper of Newgate, proved that the prisoner was in his custody On the 21st April, and was dis charged by proclamation. • Thomas Rice Steel, whose father Was a stationer in Cita:leery-lane, proved that the prisoner had purchased a warrant of attorney, and tendered a forged Al. note in payment. Charles Washington, shopman to a law-stationer, proved the tender of a forged Al. note by the prisoner on the 4th of Jane. A baisket-maker living in the New road, and a watchmaker, residing in Charlton-place, proved receiving from the poisoner two forged Al. notes; the latter on the 13th of June. .1%) r. Lees,lnspecior of Bank notes at the Bank of Eng land, proved that the notes in question, and which were produced, were forgeries in all respects. A Juryman asked the witness, whether it hatt not oc cured at the B ink, that a forged note had been paid in and was not discovered to be a forgery until the genuine note was produced ? The witness answered in the affirm ative. '/he prisoner was apprehended on the 14th of Jane, in company with a female.. lirmg called upon for his defence, the prisoner read as ingeniously written piper, affirming Isis innocence of • the (Tin* imputed to bim. H e erid ise had lately returned from tne East Indies, and br irg oily connected with srilors, - his friends wero among that elassof men, who were the least likely to 10, mat with on land, When their assistance was most need ful. He milemnly denied all knooledge of the notes be ing forgeries, and entreated the Jury to consider the pro bability of his havint taken the aStes from some person, who was aware, fro n'the uatureof his engagements, that h e s eas issolopateas to judge of their tenable:me. %c...e.lk+ - Pi 2% TESM A rf Mr. Wouttter was called oh the part of the prisoaer.-- . The ebarge for which be was formerly tried and acquit ted, was for stealing a watch, and the Recorder a* that Occasion said there was no ground for the accusdlion. The Kimonos' said I remember this young man's case, the watch which he %vas accused of stealing, it ep peared in the course of the evidence, had been given by a member of the family, whom he was said to have rob bed, for the purpose of being pledged ; and on that fir cumratice being satisfactorily proved,the Jury acquitted the prisoner; bat I think it was afterwards understood that some friend of his engaged that he should go to tea. The REcoanea having snmmed op the evidence, the Jury retired, and after being absent for two hours and three quarters, returned a verdict of " linilty," but re commended the convict to the thercy of the Court, on ac count of his youth ' they also handed in a paper written in pencil; which they desired to have read. The RICORDZIL—Do you wish to have it reed pub. lice ? 'he Foreman of the Joey answered in the affirmative. The Rahottnae, after looking et the paper for same time, said, be could not allow it to be rtati to the Court. A juror sild, we wish to recommend him to mercy, he mt..) we are of opinion that the punishment is too great for the crime. The Recoanea endeavoured to stop the gentleman be. fore he bad completed the sentence, by observing, that he could not hear in open Court, the private opinion of any person set in opposition to the law of the land. Here the nutter ended. MUMMI. SaraTe was indicted for the wilgo fel murder of William Cosens ; and George Savage, Thomas Foots and Charles Marsh (together with a ma* minted Sawaslers, not in custody) were charged with being alders and abettors in the murder. The deith of the deceased occurred in a fight between him and the prisoner William Savage. The battle lasted three quarters of an hour ; in the former part of which We deceased, being the stronger man, bad the advantage. Before the battle rl.'sed the deceased was evidently the weaker, and finally be received-from his antagonist a fatal blow. The deceased was carried to a surgeon's. brit he was not sensible from the tittle he was taken of the ground till the time of his death, which happened about five boars after be was removed from the surgeon's house. George Savage and Marsh acted as the seconds of Savage, and Foote and Saunders were the deceased's friends. The RECORDP.R having summed up the evidenee, the Jury consulted together fur a few minutes, and then Acqnitted alt the prisoners for the murder ; but found William and George Savage, and Thomas Foote, Guilty of Manslaughter. The ltsconnen ordered the prisoners immediately to be brought up for judgment. He was happy, he said, to find that this was not what sets railed a prize fight, for he thonght • that prise fighting led to frequent breaches of the peace among the lower orders. If it had been in a prise fight 'this this man had been killed, he' should have punished • the principal and the seconds to the ntmo't of the law, which was transportation fur life ; and he was sorry to find that the Public Papers spoke of those lights with ostentation, and even applause. The case, before the Court, he thought, was not one which called fur a severe punishment, and he should pass a light ;en. tence on them, in the confident hope that their future conduct would merit this lenity. Each of the prisoners was then sentenced to (Inc Mouth's imprisonment in the House of Correction at Cold ltath-fields, and to be kept 'at hard labour. POLICE. Matamtv„ r uouse --Yesterday, Mr. Bell, the Editor of Bell's Dispatch, applied to Mr. Alderman Wool), who sat for the Lord M 'TOR, for a warrant against Mr. Par. kins, heretofore Sheriff Of London, for obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Bell stated, that he applied as one of the sub scribers for the relief of an unfortunate m an named Byrne, whose case and sufferings had been already made politic. Mr. Parkins had been appointed Treasurer to the Subscription, of which Byrne bad not received more than one half. Now, by an Act which was passed during the last Session of Parliament, called the Vagrant Act, it was enacted, that if any person should obtain money in any way ender false pretences, he should he liable to be convicted as a rogue and vagabond. Mr. Parkins received upwards of 151/ under the pretence of holding it to pay over to the unfortunate object of the subscription, but oat of that sum Byrne was ready to swear that he had only got 701. Mr. AIJ. Wow), interrupting Mr. Bell, said, he appre hended that the transaction front what was stated and publicly acknowledged, that Byrne was in town, ■nd ready to recricr the subscriptions entrusted into the hands of Mr. Parkins, was in its origin correct; so far there was no false representation. The worthy Alderman wished to know from Mr. Bell to what amount he was subscriber ? Mr. Bell stated that be sith.cribed It., but bad he subscribed only a shilling, his right to interfere and de mand an account of the money from Mr. Parkins was just the same. Mr. Alderman Noon—He will tell you that he bas given your pound to Byrne with the 70/. acknon ledged to have been received, and consequently that your right to interfere is at an end. Mr. Bell replied that Mr. Parkins had already said so, as an answer to farther inquiries, when his Ilitnay evasions would be no longer listened to ; but that an swer might be made to every subscriber on the list, who might think proper to demand an account of the sub- scriptions. hlr. Bell assured the Worthy Alderman he had taken legal advice upon the subject, and that if he were a subscriber only to the amount of a shilling, and there was a shilling deficient, the defaulter would come within the meaning of the Act. This was the opinion ofi Sir !diehard Birme, and that Magistrate wou ld h ave acted upon the opinion had the act been committed with in his jurisdiction. lle had, therefore. recommended that an application shriuld be made to the Gluier Magis trate. It could be proved on the oath of Byrne that only about 701. had been paid to him, and it could be proved that Mr. Parkins hail considerably above that sum in his hands, there being up to Thursday at Messrs. Brooks and Dixon, the bankers, subscriptions to the amount of 114/. 13s. standing to his account. Mr. Alderman WOOD asked Byrne, who a!tended with Mr. Bell to give evidence, whether any means had been used to get this slim from the bankers ? Byrne replied, that, as it ha I been deposited there and placed to them:count of NI r.Parlans,it could only be given np on an order from the latter ; 101. had been recently subscrihol by the Earl of Radnor, but that sant had been joined to the rest, cud was equally fast in the hands of I .llr. Parkins. Mr. Alderman Worm considered there was not suffi.i• .nt grounds Nom which he could issue a wareant ; and, front the best advice he could get upon the snliject„be was obligel to say that the po•.e man had no citance of obtaining the woney except by failing a bill inellancery -- --- - - - - - Mr. Bell said he hall taken kcal advice as to tliA rourw, and was as.ured it was utterly hula wticable. . . Mr. Al,lernian WOOD intimated. that (sitting , there for the Lord Mayor) he did not feel himself at liberty to art iu soar a case, or give a decisive inareer in his ',ord.:lily's hebilf. He therefore wished .h. Kell to make an appli• ea•leo t.. the Lord Mayor I • self upon the suhject., Mfr. Bell assented, and the parties withdrew. ~ ''N ^- .( " :2: L 4DOPI !IAIESBT3. ....lbill ...... • I. • C o en EItCIMIII2. MARK LAME. Quiintltlea and Prices or British Corn, &e.
