He would nut as, how far be agreed in opinion with the Petitioners, until the *object came re gularly under consideration, but the Petitioners were a most respectable hotly of the merchants of this country, and their Petition was drawn up in a manner which evinced much knowledge and a deep consideration of the subject. gr. ELLICE said, be bud seen many Petitions, mid read a vast variety of papers on itsv subject, but be did not re. inirrse eeadVato; ablMr forgeries, your Petibirmor hos isto move doubt Ilia Its hes of his own existesee.

" That your Petitioner adopts this hansom, Weems the Commissioners have ieserleil in else of their Reports the kid ' lowing oplutoa, via. • We camel but be aware that so form of a note can possibly be cootrived that may sot be sweens fully initiated by some artist of superior totems' Had the Commi6ioners omitted the word ' seecessfany; your Peti tioner could sot bare objected to the truism which would then have been expressed; but your Prettiestr firmly mats. tales, in appositive to this opiaion of the Commissiosers, Mal there are abeam to defy esecessfal imitation ; and, is appmelling your Honourable House with due respect as/ humility, he yet meet eosidently manors that he would be able to prove to a Committee of your Honourable House the fel. lacy of the opinion doss gives by the Comminsiosere, sad which fallacy, Hoot refuted, may prove injurious to the nom. sanity, by either giving • easetios to the contissa•ce of the notes now in circulation sad which are so easily imitated, or to the subatitailon o f sew form of cote which may he little better calculated to protect against forgery. " That your Petitioner, is contriving his plan. axed epos Iwo points as essestially necessary to be attained, and in. deed es the only potato upon which security stalest forger, can ultimately rest. These points are: Ist, That the forger shall be inevitably subjected to great dienlty end heavy expense, if he attempts to rootinee his criminal pursuit; ?city, Thot the detection of forged notes shall be rendered perfectly certain and easy to every individual capable of reading; and, at the same time, without lay dampr being incurred of such knowledge being made use of to produce a stew counterfeit. " That, in regard to the first of these points, your Poi limier would prove to • Committee of your Honourable House that • forger would be subjected to great difficulty and expense, by skewing, anion other thiegr, that a• int& tidier' of the workmanship of • Beak mete upon your Pell tioaer's plan would require three months' exertion of the abilities of that most 'velment artist, Mr. Besuatun, of tie:. sappoaing him to be employed thereat tea bommeatik day sktehig that time.

" Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays, that your Hon.

The Petitioe was ordered to lie um the table. A Mersage from the Lords announced that their Lordships bad agreed to various Bills. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Mr. GOOCH ',resealed a Petition from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, in the Diocese of Norwich, mama the Bills fur removing the disabilities uodrr which the Roa wan Catholics labour. Mr. T. WILSON presented a similar Petition from the Clergy of Sion College, in the City of Loudon. Mr.COURTENAY presented a aiming' Petition from the Mayor and Corporation of she City of Exeter. The Peti tioners were a part of his constituents, and he was *sorry to And himself compelled to differ in opinion from them ow this subject. He was sore they would think him unworthy of their tutor* coofidence if be could abandon his comicial,- tiuus opinions in mere compliance with their wishes on this most impoi taut question. He should at all limes feel the utmost deference to their opinions, but be mild not causing to oppose his voice so a measure which be firmly believed would greatly contribute to the stability of the Protestant throne. The Marquis of TAVISTOCK presented a Petition from certain Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty at Bedford, praying that the House would give every support to the ' Bills now in progress for the relief of the Roseau Catholics. These Petition. were mitered to be printed. Mr. Pcumaarr rose and said, that some altera tions having beets made no the Bills which he had brought its relating to the Catholics, and some new clauses introduced since it was printed. lie thought it would he convenient that the House should re eolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, merely to adopt formally the new clauses, to order to their being printed, and that the debate on the clauses shall be reserved for the recommittal of the Bill on a future day. As the clauses did not go to alter the general principle of the Bills, nor even the details to any extent, they would trot t..ke fang printing, and the delay in the progress of the mea sure sited not be greet. In conseepieuce of the suggestion of a Right Hon. Gentleman whom he saw opposite, who had thought there was something anomalous in the explanation g the oath of supre macy being distinct and detached from the oath it self, he had now incorporated it in the oath. The question being put for the Speaker's leaving the Chair— Sir JOHN Nrcnot —lf the vole object of the Right Host. Gentleman we* the formal adoption of the new clauses, in order to their being primed, be should not object to going iota the Committee, as he thought it the better plan, because it would afford Members an opportunity of seeing the 801 l in the distinct shape to which the fritodis of the measure wished to bring it forward. But lie thought a great deal of time ought t o b e a ll owe d to all parties to.beconse acquainted with the whole of the . Bill. It am a measure of the most Mt frioeskafirte_ehe Easter meow, h e tt, m there waxy out en fficient time horadetiletelling the disposition of either the Protestarillipart of the etenamaity, or of . he Catholics themselves. towards the measure. It might et eu be proper, when the Bill was definitively reduced to the shape in which the House was to be railed on to ISM al, ell let it stand over to another Session. He could isso.'y at all events. agree to its being recommitted till efts" the Easter recess. Mr. PLVMKETT said, if the only intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman was to Unpile as to the time at which he meant to propose the recommittal of the Bill, hr thought he might with that (endow which belonged to him have dispensed with Ins ar gument on the general principle of the measure.— He (Mr. P.) certainly should not now be drawn into that argument ; but, if he were to go into the discussion of the question, how far this was an in novation upon the Constitution, he might Ise dis posed to differ with the Right Houourable Gentle man as to the nature of that Constitution; for he was one of those who thought that there were many of the principles of the Constitutive. and some of them the must valuable in their nature, which, although generally recognised, were not to be found iii Noy enactment of oar written law.— (Cheers.)—if ours bad been, as the Right Honour able Gesideinsti seemed disposed to consider it. a paper Constitution, it could never have become sit object of such anxiety to the Catholics, nor would it time brew worth their pains to endeavour to gain admittance to it. It was out a little cents's& to ob• serve how the Right ilonournble Gesitlernan rose in his demands ; fire, lie was fur' next week, turn till after the Easter recess, afterwards next Seeiion was the term he asked for consideration. He bad so desire to hurry the measure through without its be.. coming generally known to both Catholics and Pro- \ testauts ; bat he saw no reason for any grist delay. `ls It was now a long time since he first gave••no tice of his intention to bring forward the sub ject; II considerable time had elapsed since the discussion on the fi at reading, and there was no question connected with it which had,' not been already fully and amply ditetissed. Even the alterations which lie had now mentioned had been fully discussed in the last debate. In auswer to the question of the Right Hon. Gentleinnie be had to slate that it was his intention to appoint Wed nesday for the Bills being recommitted, as he us. derstood the new clause would be printed and itt the hands of the members to-morrow. With respect to the suggestion of delay, he had, for his own part, every disposition to accede to any regulation of the Right lion Geistlesnan's us to time, but he could not but recollect that there were uneasy individuals,. many members of that House, who were, with coes,- derable inconvenience to themselves, couipelled to abide in town the issue of this measure, and he frit that he war not warranted in taking such a libeity of disposing of their time and business, as to deter sty longer than was absolutely necessary the far ther progress of the Bills. Sir W. Scorr said he concurred in the propriety of printing the new clauses, but he could nut agree with the Right Hon. Gentleman that Wednesday would be a proper period to fix for their considera tion. It was necessary that time should be given to members to possess themselves fully of the pre. rise nature of the Bills in their new form. The Right Hon. Gentleman had himself ailiniited the im portant nature oft he alterations which had been snide. by proposing to have them printed before they pro ceeded to their consideration in the Committee. On the first edition of the Bill, the light Hon. and Learned Member allowed more that) a week for the House to consider the rations clauses and details. The alterations about to lie introduced. must be of eonsequeece, or the Right Honourable Gentleman would not have introduced them. He could hardly conceive any measure of greater im portance that, this Bill altogether, and it am press ing too much upon the House to refuse to song's a more remote day that) ‘Vedneerlay. lie should limo:thought that the very earliest pee iod that could properly be named would be Moedsy or IVedner day next week.—(" No, so.")—To him is was not at all unreasonable Cm the House to ask to lie al. lowed more than one day fur consideration upon so very important a measure. Sir J. IslawroaT grid that the principle of the Bill was already decided upon. The alterations proposed bad grown out of the debate of the other night, and the nature of then) must be known to the whole Hosts,. it was of great importesce not to keep such a measure bangle% in doubt stet agita tation, such as he knew prevailed on both sides of the Channel. He begged and implored Isis Right Hon. Friend not to allow of any delay. Sir T. LLTHBIIDGC, said, that he was quite snare of at agitation which prevailed upon the subject in many putts of the country. If ire o f ,- pouents yf the Lill consented, from ronrtesy, not to oppere the motion for the Speaker leaving the Chair, surely it was not too much to ask from the courtesy of the Right lion. Gripleniess ilea he would postpone the recommitincut till Nlorelay.— How was it possible, considering that the alterations swat be of a 'coy Important nature, that the House The . __.}-~ .~''~:;~ _____ _ I EAST INDIA HOUSE, Janumaw 24, ISM.
