I II Priqki mat the t. / 4 borne out by this *sport in statingtime things, and in Right Honourable Secretary. (Mr. ooulburn) `4l misleading but 1, chaeging gtoaaly misrepresenting the fatt, sod that Haase, he had alsd the authority of an Oreoge newspaper to support him ; that paper bad expressed the most positive opinion, that those two melt might think themselves very lucky indeed in their escape. t Hear, hear.) But this was not all. Under the same Judge, and by the mama or a ;imam Jury, there was another person put upon his trial., The Counsel who had been retained for the prisoner, was at the time when the trial was palled oh in the civil side of the Court. An ottit sr of the Court was sent to call him ; that offices was obstructed in his way. Mr. Baron hi•Clelland was told of the , vreumstance, and was applied to to postpone the trial, bat he lair fused to do so. The cause was allied on, and She tried, withett his Counsel to &Vold him. The Cams% tittered the Court at the close Odle trial, and romp* to hive the witnesses r-r:alled, in owlet that he riught them. But this same Judge, 111`Clelland, refused to allow him to do so, or to tress-examine a single witness. This Judge, who bad not hithasilf put the usual questions to tie witnesses when no Corm sal was retained for the defence, refused to allow the primmer ea& eel to ask a single question of any one of them. (Hear, hese legia) And this prisoner was, upon the testimony of those witnelealkallia , rimed of a misdemea nor, and sentenced to suffer twelve olleothe imprisonment. (Hear, hear.) And after this, should he be told-- (heir, hear, hesq—after this, he would my, should he be told that testice was admintstered impartially, Red with an even hand in Ireland? ((fear, hear.) Shoald he ever again hear it said, that justice was there meted out with the same undeviating natioattA tits same enrire absence of all passion, with the same so • per, which, thank God, lie could say, dtatitiguished the Ma the Bar in this country ? He rejoicedat finding those two Hon.Gertfle men ludilitig firm faith together in larding is one harmonious phrase the perfect purity, and chiunting the praises of the Irish Bench in respondent strains— 'Arcades onto et rcspondere parse." He admired the gentle Pyladcs and Orestes of the Irish Bar, olio clang to each other— " it eantare parrs." He rejoiced at this, and Amid have felt ac untangled pleasure et it if he had not a sad and serious answer to give to them, and which they compelled him most reluctantly to do. The lion. Gentleman now repeated the same strain which had been said by an lion. Gen tleman on an occasion very similar to the present. He echoed the sentiment ;which was then declared, that "die Courts of Justice in Boland *ere open to all." When this was said, he (Itlr.Brougham) remembered Mr. Ilorhe Tooke observing, "And so was the Londdn Tavern Open to all." But there was this difference between these two open places, that the article which wits dealt out to the poor suitors a; the bar, he would call it (lAtighuor). of these places Was essentially sliffetent : for at the tavern in Bopagate-atreet *as 'erred to the poor man who could contrive to pay his money the gement:fele 4.7 to the rich ; but at th e bar of the tavern, in Ire land. we were tcld by one who het for many years been the master of one where these articles were disposed of, whether at the sign of the City Tavern, the Den, or 'the Bottomless Pit, lie (Mr. B.) could sot fell; but this individual it-afield us that there was one sort of liquor or law for the rich and one for the poor, and that both' were bail—both liquors of a mat inferior kind. That was the opinion of Lord Itedesdale ' and nt: of his (Mr. Brougham's). and teerefote more valuable. Lord kletiesdale had been a Lord Chan ceelor then : he knew sethething of the practice that was pursued in that country, actuething of the laws, and something of the in juitice that was practised; ata this was his opirion of the ad ministration or justice in Ireland. But he (Mfr. Brougham) would now come back to the question before the House; only observieg, by the W3 , ' ' what a farce it wae— what a mere, but at the same time. Luhiliating mockery it was (hear, hear, hear,) to have a part of our fellow•subjects to be gravely toM ,l that they must not assemble together to utter their grievances, and ptoclaim aloud their complaints under this aecuretd system of misrule Ours ad_ mitred to exist, for fear it should be said, that they 'were as bad ex the Bridge-street gang. The Bridge-street Association, or gang, if you please—evil' it what you will—was a most infamous and scarves lons job, coininencal and concocted by a set of pettyfogging'ettor. Treys; and which gang, as soon as this real job was exposed, fell to the ground and expire:Li Bit this Association, this gang, after all, was termed in this eruntry, where, thank God, he could declare the course of justice ran pure and unstained ; not in a country where the people were divided by religious feuds, not where there ex. laced one law for the rich and member law for the poor ; rot in short, where one.seven duet the people found and enjoyed freedom, and the remaining sit-sevenths were held in bondage, and galled by every species of oppression. lie now etme to the charges against the constitution of this Association. The first was, that they dared totonie into public day ; that they boldly showed themselves in ail their proceedings, with a defiance that was truly &terming. But, if' they had not pursued this course,—if, instead of thus conrtiag investigation and observation from all, they had carried on their proceedings in secret, then what shauld we rot have heard 1--Should we not hare been told " Oh ! if they had come forward boldly and openly, we then should have thought their inientions hottest, but now that they carry on their measures in the dark, they become a fearful body, and must be put down. But it ' seemed also that they aped the forms of this House, that they had the impudence and audacity to be like unto ourselves. But sup pose that they had adopted a different comae, suppose they had in. traduced a new mode, and new forms in conducting their proceed. jags, instead of following the old and approved ones, should we not then have heard them accused of introducing novelties?—(!tear.) would it not have been said that they were seeking to establish die ferent forms of conducting public proceedings, and that they were imitating the Convention of France? But we were now told that they had the daring impudence to ape the solemn proceedings of this Honourable House, and affect to set up their pigmy import ance in jusaposition with our dignity. This was the second charge. The third was that they were not elected, but self-consti toted. A Right Hon. Gentleman had said, that they were self elected, self-assembled, self-adjourned. and self-reassembled. But if they were elected, then they would be doing an illegal act they were not elected, and they were not doing an illegal act ; and yet it was objected against them that they were not elected, but self-constituted, and mist therefore be put down : so that in all ways they were wrong. Then how were they toact ? If they were open, they were audacioss and threatening—if they were secret, they were treecherous--if they pursued those old and well-approved forme which in all public bodies were adopted. then they were' aping this Honourable House, and were. in fact, itnpudetit, for that hoer the meaning of this charge—if they were self.elected. then d.ey were arrogant, and did not represent the Catholics, whose leentiments they pretended to speak—and, finally, if they w..re elected by others, then they came wider the Convention Act, and were open to prosecution by the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Attorney-General for Ireland. Thus were the Catholics met on points.ell lf they spoke openly, they were preetimpttions said tying • if eccret said silent, then were they to be suspected ; so that tl at there . was no one thing they could do that was not distorted into a cause of complaint against them; they were, in every shape, and under every circumstance, obr oxious and dangerous, and this Bill said there was only one means of making them reconcilable to the country, and that was by their not being sulihred to exist at all. I don', care, s , ys onel3entlemen, fear the bluster and stir which this Aestecletion make', but what I ant most alarmed at, says • staid and metaphysical gentleman, is the deed silence that now pre. vails in irelard. It war again said that the power of the Catholic Potent. Wits too great because It was too small, anti in the same line of logical deduction it might he said, that " 'Twould still be greater If 'twere not at all.'' lie (Mr. Brougham) would declare that the Catholic Association were the vietted representatives of the Catholics of Ireland, not in that danatotut sense of the word which would signify that they exercised any conirel over the persons of the Catholics, but because they agreed with them in opinion, because they felt for them, and entertained similar sentiments with their own on the great questions which affected them so vitally ; not, he would repeat, because they hind really been elected by them, for that would have been illegal, tut because they were 3,000 of the beat, moat able, most intelli gent, and runt pattiotic amongst the six millions of the Catholic body. That was the real secret of their erpreeentstione---that was the sole source of their efficiency. Were Hon. Gentlemen afraid of that power, were they really alarmed at that assemblage of talent and zeal k If they were, he (Mr. Brougham) would tell them how to disarm them ii: an hour, and on the marrow of the day or. which they took his edifice, nay, not his, hot the advice of the Irish At torney-General, ferit tied more authority than his, they would feel that alum which they now experienced wholly to with:lde, and cease of fear dispersed. Take then awry the grievances under which the Cathe.ites of 'lreland labour. (fleet, hear, Pear.) Though lath, do them yet justice, give them that which long ago seal their's, and which nothing but injustice had withheld from them. By this they wstrld antra them. Ireland woald bless them jr.stmd et cursing them es she now, if they witadd take away thou hideous and detestable marl:sof degradation which her Ca tholic people had been so long 'destined to bear. (Hear, hear.) He had beta told that many speeches had been used by the headers of the Association. of a bad tendency, sad calculated to itritate the feelinp of an already angry and misdirected pen*. One expression had in perticular been alluded to. As to that expression, lie would not standup in that House to defend it ; lie would net sperially plead it away-..aear, hear) ; lie would soy that it Was an harsh txpreasiou ; one that he should not hare advised ; but yet he would also say that it contained no illegal meshing it carried with it nothing of a violent Or prceokh i ig nature. If t did go a little too tar, and disagree with what a more cool sett temperate feeling groat have dictated, yet a little allowance was to be made fur an expecte:tee used by these men, who hael fewer, the victors a very keg series of • etprezion, and who had no real sepsesertrives in.thst hntiee ; 1%• tholTh it might l ie mid they had, i , d thirtkey voted for Members of this Howse, yet that was upon oneni i ien : which was, that they should elect men who hid oat embrace a ra:th, nor entertain sentimeitts similar to their own; ar &A whose injuries years would rot tell the history. Yet then people were to he condeeoned for • mere word in this Ad. drese, although in it they prowled peace, quiet, content ment, and setimission to their failow.ontlerers.

It was good, it was stiff and stout, and he did not know but that it was quite constitutional, but it wesitot usual in these days to breech it in such broad terms. fie alluded to the espresaion of she Honourable Oeldemai (Mr. Pascoe Grenfell) osbo, when spooking of the possibility of a resistance on the part of the Catholisaccletlared, that of be were on his bed of death, his last :grayer to tbst Almighty should be, th at that resistance might be successful. (Hoes, - it.) Now he would vesture to say that not one.thausandtb past el the violate, which this speech evinced was ever used by araysatheber of the Catholic Associsuon. Nor Was the A tiorney-Cdneral for Indeed altogether so haw front blame for this circumstance—of what would appear to vulgar minds a going • little too far—as that Right Hon. Gent seemed to thelt himself. He (Mr. Brougham) remembered on one great occasion, when speaking on the subject of the Union, that Bight Honourable Gentleman had said, that be was a friend to Vie canneeion with England, and that he would stand bi n ti: 2oo noanexion to the last ; hut, Weed the Right Honourable 0l (and he was a must eloquent patriot whe said so) "if that (tonne should be found to be incensistent with the interests of my country. Iwill give the'con nezloa to the winds, and hng my country to my bosom." Three sere eloquent worse, but they were strong. He was sal honest Inapt and a pianioterho used diem, but they went very far, quite to the serge i and they contained a pledge--a pledge 'which he (Mr. Brougham) had no doubt the Right lionouratile Gen eleman vonild, if f lailed upon by the wataion, proudly redeem ; and in redeening it he would certainly bt a real patriot, but he would at that same testae( become a rebel against England. (Hear.) It was eneharitable, it was unchristian, to bear hate to Orangemen; but it was sweet, it woo amiable, it was pious, it was Christian, after the substaace of their wrongs had terminated, to retain the shalow by way of remembrance. But the Rent was a great charge ' against the Catholic Aasocation : it was a self-constituted, self- Hera body, levyaji taxes by regular agents 7 But how was any species of revenue collected, except by regular veers. The Ca tholic Rent was a voluntary subscription.—it was paid at the tate of a penny a week. Those who could not pay a penny, paid a half penny; and those who did not choose to pay a halfpenny, paid no thing ; and those who pay nothing, enjoy the same advantages as those who pa y the most. This wasclearly a service of gratuity : here was no illegal levy of money. He begged the House nut to be alarmed, although he was about to produce a book. Ile would not detain the House many minutes, or read more than three lines The book he was about to read from was The Al Limits of tits Confer:me.: cf the English Met/waists—a most respectable and praiseworthy class of persons—a class of persons whose privileges he had before defended, when he thought those privileges were assailed, and should again defend them, if they . were attacked. Now, from these minutes it appeared that the Methodists were placed exactly in the same situation as the Catholic Association. Vet this body does not excite any alarm in the mind of the Honourable Gentlemen opposite, not even in that of the Hon. Member for Oxford. The Methodists, instead et' levying tales indirectly, as the Catholic Association had done, levied them directly; and whilst the one was in Ireland, the other was situated neater home. These were the only differences, al though the lion. Member for Dover (Mr. Butterworth), whom he (Mr. Brougham) very much respected, stated on a termer evening, that no similarity existed between the Catholic Association and the. Methodists. Front these minutes, it appeared that Mr. kerkshaw was appointed Secretary. The Irishmen, by mimick ing the forms of the House, had touched it upon the tenderest point—he ought to say the sorest point. But what did they • do equal to the Methodists, who appointed a Secretary to the Com mince of Privileges ?• (A laugh.) He saw the lion. Gentleman (51r. Butterworth) urrasy en his seat: the lion. Gentleman, no doubt, conceived that the conferences of the Methodists were at an end. He would confine himself to the particular points of simi larity which existed between the Catholic Association and the Methodists. When it was .said that the Catholic Association directed the cellectore of the Rent to return the amount of their collealoas within a certain period, some lion. Gentlemen. so send live in all matters concerning fi nance, lifted up their hands and I eyes, full of alarm. Now the Methodists' Conference expressly re quired, " that all collections received in October should he paid In before the 15th November." This, indeed. was prompt payment; lie doubted whether the Right lion. the Chancellor of the Exche quer received the revenues from the tax collectors so promptly. The Right Hon. Gentleman seemed to envy the excellence of the system, by which collections were paid fourteen days after they were received. The Right lion. Gentleman was in the habit of giving three mouths, but he (Mr. Brougleun) believed that his Hon. Friend, the Menthe; for Aberdeen, (31r. flume) had induced the Chancellor of the Exchequer to abridge the time to three weeks. •"lhe Treasurer's books were to be closed on the 4th , June ; sod all additional subscriptions were to be remitted, and the amount reported to the Superintendents at every Meeting." Now, these were parallel cases, for which the Methodists might be charged with illegally levying money, with quite as much justice as the Catholics. But then there were two books kept by the Ca tholic Association : the book containing the subscribers, and an other for the non-subscribers. This was represented as a matter of great alarm. It was insinuated that the intertiun of the names of non-subscribers was intended to advertise those persons who refused to contribute, and that the publication ef their names in this book, was held over them la ter Tercets. But this was rot a fact; there were no such two hooks in existence, nor there could not be in the nature of things. And that such a thing should be mentioned and acted upon in that House in the month of February, in the sixth year of his present Majesty, only proved how alarm may rake reasonable, serious men, a prey to the wildest in. aginations. So late as the period which he had mentioned. that House did not hoot down, but, on the contrary, it joined in, and swallowed the tale set up by the alarmists, without ever re flecting on the 1110fal impossibility of that which alarmed them; as if, because three hundred or four hundred thousand persons sub.. scribed to the Catholic leen', and their names should be placed in , a book. the live or six millions who hail not subscribed should also I be inserted. But to return to the Minutes of the Conference :- 1 It goes on to state, " that where any declension or gross deficiency occurs, strict inquiry should be made." lie wottld warrant that amongst this religious class the finances would be strictly attended te, and in proportion as the funds were grew, the more strict would be the watch set over the collectors. The statement of the Sletholat finances occupied ten columns ; every item will mentioned. This was one of the charges against the Catholic Association, but there was another point of similarity more material—an item which wax often placed on the table cf that House was now placed in the financial statement of the Methodists — he meant " the Extmotdineries;" here was actually an item for exteaordinariee of the *my of the faith. The sums were smaller to be sure than the House hal been accustomed to bear of, but it evinced that the army of the faith could nut be supported without expense any more that' the army of the fiesb. (A laugh.) But there is a deficit in the account of the Alethodists, and this deficit is ordered to be parcelled out amongst the circuits. Every 119 persons were to furnish a certain sum. Thus it appeared that the Itletho dies not only collected but actually assessed taxes. Did he Mean by drawing tnis parallel to censure the Methodist Society ? Did he mean to cast a doubt on the purity of their motives? Did he dare to ridicule the piety of their intent;ons ? Did he mean to conclude that their laudable—their praiseworthy exertions—were I illegal? No such thing—he only meant to argue, that what was right in England could not be unlawful in Ireland. That what this respectable body of men would go to death to preserve, that right which was connected with their bipartite—their dearest privileges ; a right which involved a point of conscience, and for which resist ance should be encountered, rather than it , mould be suffered to be taken away, the Catholics would also do. By this coniparison, he only meant to infer that the proceedings which were permitted sad admired in England, could not be accounted a solecism and anomaly in Ireland ; above all, that what was respected in one country and universally considered lawful and consistent, should not be made In another the ground For an oppressive Act of Parliament. It seemed he had now gene through all the charges which were made against the Catholic Association. One, however, occurred to him, and it was, like the rest, the strangest and most inconsistent. All the ar guments at the other side were in the most admired dissenter. The Priests, it was arid, were active and zealous me - nbers of the Asso ciation, and thererore the House sea to cry out against the mern. ben of the Association 04 if they were traitors. (Cheering.) But, he would ask, if the Priests were not with the Association, what , would be the argument against this unfortunate body, which, do' what it may, could never please ? If the Priesthord, and the gre a t , Peers, and the wealthy d;oinnioners, were not allied with the Catho. lie Alsoeiation, and this alliance was now made a matter of re proach, what would be the argument ag ainst the Adspeiation ? We should hear it Raid , that if the priestho od were with it it might be encouraged ; the Catholic Peers would then be considered worthy ' of greet praise ; and, in the absence of the wealthy Commoners it would be said, t lust if they had been connected with the Association,' it would give Lime security to the Goverinnent—sonte sarty to the State. But then it would be said the Association was composed of chaperate men, with no churchmen to control their violent passiopt• no nobility to keep them from 'mining into democracy, and no wealth to give them a stake io the country. (Year, hear.) Thw last charge made egairtt, the Catholic Asseciation was by an Ho. nourable and beamed Friend of his (Mr. Plu .kett). It was said' by hint that t*.e Catholic Association undertook too many thing'. ;le (•f. Brougham) would say, if he felt as that Honourable sail Learned Gentleman did, so much the better ; they %Medi be the less likely to succeed. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman must know, by his own success, that when attention is concentrated to one particular point, it ie more likely to be successful thah if it was divided. But the Honourable and Learned Gentleman was deceived, The Catholic Association had not undertahen every thing : they had taken no part on the question of tithes ‘ and in i the question of a Reform n Perliainent they were not committed. On the ceetrary, when that worthy and beoevolent Individual, Mr. Jcremy Bentham, than wbolu there was no more able and sincere -sty' :del ss. spposite (Mr. 44,1 i himself agat.. ,„ _ . .. __ heard made against n dierefore refer.

Sal rtes was another charge which he (Mr. • ) bed brew& denrard, and which,—he said it more in e s e in lustklealls—as aigh t Hon. Gentleman had poorly d He had einelldillble that, et this critical period—in this Your, whenasines of the Catholics hung in a scale—thea tarale waistbands& mbar was the worst service the Right narable lEhinlismes amid have done the Catholics?

" stand alone in the Cabinet." " The whole country is against me. Yet, though the Right Honourable Gentleman totes this expresalon so discouraging to the friends of the Catholics, an ' animating to their enemies, he adds, " lam as much as ever the I Mend of the Catholic," though he does the very thing best i I calculated to injure their cause, when he says " The people of England are banded against the Catholics. It put him in mind of Lady Snrervell or Mrs. Candour—he did not know which of them it was, or whether it was Sir Benjamin Backbite— in Sheridan's comedy (the SePtoni for Scandal), who said. “ I like such a person vastly, but I can't get anybody else to like him." So said the Right Honourable Gentleman—" I am a friend to the Cathelies, but I have none but the M'higs of England to side with me." But the Right Honourable Gentleman did cot state this fairly. Ile has not only the Whigs of England at his side on this qeestion, but all the liberal men of the country were at his side--every man of liberal sentiments. This was not true friendship of the Right lion. Gentleman to con fess the weakness of his cause. True friendship, tike faith, believes much—like charity, forgive!, and hopes much ; but the lion. Gentleman put iris case even worm than he need have done. Did he not recollect that the Cities of London and Westminster, and the Bort:nigh of Southwark, were decidedly with Win The argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman was this, lie cool: not propose this Catholic Emancipation, not so much because the Parliament and the Government were averse to it, as because the country itself was opposed to it; but he (Mr. Brougham) would Ray, that all men of liberal opinions were not as they had been described by the Right Hon. Gentleman, but that the cry of "No Popery" bad gone down daily and hourly. He would take to himself the highest. satisfaction, that consistently with his ad vice and feeble efforts, the present occasion had been so eminent in eying opportunities for the eloquence of so many men, and to some who had rendered themselves immortal by the glorious course they had pursued. Ile had the satisfaction cf thinking that during this long debate a last blow had been given to the scandalous delusion under which the people of England in this respect laboured. Ile would suppose, however, that the country was adverse to the met. sure of Catholic Emancipation. But even then his Majesty's Ministers would not withhold it, if they were aware of its pan mount importance to the safety of the empire ; 'but they would endeavour, by every meats in their power, to induce the Government to grant it. But, he would ask, did these Gentlemen always act upon this'll-ea of public opinion ? There war the Chancellor of the Exche quer, who now sat upon the seat before him, and who was a alem bee of the Government in 1820, when that detestable disgraceful measure—a measure which he wondered any man could have tamely listened to—was introduced into the House. What did the country feel on the subject of the persecutions against the late Queen ? There was no hesitation in going in direct opposition to the public opinion—to the cry of the mob--to the disaffection of the army—to public meetings—to the embittered multitude: here all great interests were embattled, and all united with one strong feeling—with one heart, and with one voice, in opposing the Government ; yet the Government never fur an instant stopped in its disgraceful and disgusting course;—were there any reasons which they could have stated for so doing— were they threatened that one half of the Emplte would be torn from -them it they did nut?—No, but they yetitted with a wretched sub serviency to the commands of a single Indlviduad--they did not mince matters, but with an unhesitating baseness, which not even the Russian boor had ever equalled,and certainly never surpassed— like the base crouching slave of an Algerine Divan, with the bow-string twanging in his ears, and the scymater glittering before his eyes, they braved all obloquy and ail danger, for the purpose at gratifying that high personage—to gratify his most excusable caprice (for caprice he had, although they had not even this mi serable excuse,) to gratify hint and to keep their places under hum. Before he sat down, he would allude to some o bs ervations of the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Attorney-General for Ireland) but he would first observe, that if lie hail tired the House. he would very willingly conclude. (Hear.) But he had felt it Ins duty to occupy their attention so long, on one of the most important questions that, within his recollection had been discussed in the House of Parliament. lie did not stand in need of any reasons or any arguments for branting Catholic emancipation ; but if he wanted both, both had een supplied by his Hon. Friend, the Irish Attorney-General, the great friend and the great patron of Ireland ; the person who had been appointed the guardian of its tranquillity. Ile has proceeded from that country but very recently, and the scenes to which he had alluded have come many of them within his own knowledge and observation. Vet lie has avowed in his place in Parliament that this Bill now sought to be introduced into the House :should be supported instead of Catholic Emancipation. Ile had said that this Bill was rendered necessary, because enapancipation would not be granted. In his (Mr. Brettgliam's) opinion, this declaration was very ominous,—to his ears it carried this meenage:—Prepnre ye for the coming storm ; set your he ill order anti prepare, for the eight is coming and the storm fs lowering—the storm that must produce convulsions. unless present measures be taken to pre- I vent its effects. Mr. PLL NKETT rose to explain. lie said that the Honour able Gentleman (Mr. Broughain) had mistaken the expressions used by him. He had never stated thalit would be necessary to Pau the measure in orderto dispense with Catholic Emancipation. Mr. 1111OUGli A M continued. It made little or no dittiver.ce whether the Right lion. Gentleman did or did not make us-f of such an expression. He certainly thinks that if Emancipation were given to the Catholics, this obnoxious Bill would be rendered urmeces eery, and his argument at the same timn was this My reason for supporting this Bill is, because I feel its paramount necessity." ‘Vliy does he so argue? Why, bnt because Catholic E aneipm 'lion being out of the question, it becomes necessary to provide against the consequences. Another Minister, perha Lord Lon donderry, it he were alive, feeling that this i'atbrilic Emancipation could not or wouldmot be carried, and fearing for the consequences that might follow, would have voted for adopting military measures for the purpose of meeting and encountering the storm. For his part, he (31r. B.) if he had his choice, would prefer those military measure to any other, for although they would certainly succeed for a thne, they as certainly eagle l'kft be' permanent. Did the Government never intend to redo*" the lettings and thus stifle the complaints of the Irish people ? This would be the only way—first redress their wrongs, and their eonspiaints would instantly cease. llis llonottruble Friend, the Irish Attorney.Cleneral, however had said, reverse the maxim—First stifle the complaints, and then you may considerwhether or not you will redress their wrongs. His (Mr. Brougham's) advice to the Catholics was this:--do not be discouraged; petition, but petitionvexpectfully; obey all the laws that may be enacted against you, and this odious law in particular, if it should be passed—obey all its directiona—but go on complaining, go on with your meetings, and continue defending and supporting one another, not by means of Associations, for they will then be come illegal, but by every means that the laws, even after the pass. mg of this measure, still allows you'; end do not despair or sue cess. Above all things do not allow yourselves to think that mo- ' derat ion or concession, that doing nothing, cr that looking out for new friends, and friends that have not been tried, can ever get you what you have set your hearts upon. But go on, trusting to those old and tried leaders, and uniting yourselves to those enlighteiml men. one of whom, from the sister kingdom, and may Heaven lung pseserve him to it, continues to adorn this House. ou have him—:lnd you have the successor of Grattan. lio on, and pursue the course you have been pursuing; be united, firm, and temperate; and, above all, look to England—to your suffering brother of that country, who have tried for centuries—. What ?—moderation, pas s sive obedience. They have tried all they could, and they have only tiled quiet means, but they have found themselves quite as badly off as their brethren in Ireland, and they have now taken the other course—the course of coining forward with one heart and with one voice. iwd rejoicing to join their brethren. .Yom the great charac ter whom all loved and respecred—the fluke of Norfolk--down to the luwest pariah priest, all would become united as one man. He rejoiced to know it,for he knew that it would be an auspicious onion, that must produce happy results. The House bad been told by au ilon. Gentleman opposite that the Irish knew but little of the English if they thought in intimidate deem. It might be trite that nothing was ever gained by a formidable position; but in his (Mr. Brougham's) opinion, the contrary was the ease. The Catholic , ' haul never gained any thing,rsunless in a time of diffi culty with the Citiverrunent. It was those Gentlemen, and no: him, who preached to the Catholics the doctrine that in times of pet and tranquillity, when there was nothing to create a state Trieste Madrid Cadiz 1011a.a A Adoetn,. they had never been given any iadvatitages: IV.* AM the year 1778 a time of considerable diffeulty . and ? . In 1782 an assembly of armed men had laid claim to --.... which they after sards evoked. In 1793 there were i ' taunts; and in 1003, when the last of those concessions tdlnellk des there was great apprehension of clanger. He called imbibe House, not -by the hate they bore oppressor - S. rot by any *Sit ilitsmity, which he would fain tee for eve? stifled—he called spun tie House, not by their hatred nor by their charity, not by `tele revenge nor by their clemency—but he called upon the House statesmen—he called upon them from a motive of policy—to reflect before it WAS too late—to consider well before the passing of I a Bill which might torn discontent into rage, and to ht arm rage with new weapons. On their heads, and not on his, be the come_ msence of this misjudged and misguided policy—on their heads, and not on his, be the consequences, if they took such steps as might tear Drifted from this country. IThe lion. Member con. ' eluded his speech amid the strangest acd most enthusiastic ekpres. sions of admiration. • Mr. BUTTERWORTH amidst great laughter and considera ble opposition, rose to reply to sonteohservations of Mr. Tirougliam,' on the subject of Methodist Committees. The Honourable Mem ber was proceeding to observe that the Committees were appointed for a particular purpose, and that there had been no ctillettions of money since the year 1811, when Mr. BROUGHA 51 here interrupted him, lay saving, he would save the Honourable Member a good deal of trouble. An he as serted was, that they hal a General Committee of Privileges, but he said nothing of the collection of money at any rime. Mr. BUTTERWORTH then proceeded to real an extract of a letter from the county of Kilkenny, describing the efforts made by the Catholic collectors for the increase of the Rent, and stated it to have been mentioned by one of them that he must return the names of those who refused to the Board (so we understood bite.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst cries of "Question, question," by observing, that the Methodist collec. tiona differed from the Catholic in this important point, that the first was voluntary, the other forced. Mr. GOULBURN rose to reply. At that late hour of the night he would not detain the House by many observations. His sole object was to rescue himself from some imputations which had been cast upon hint in the debate by an Hon. Bart. and the Member for Knaresboroagh. It had been said that lie had made a false states meat of the two cases which he had brought fanned to illustrate the interference of the Catholic Association with the administration of justice. An Honourable Baronet had charged him with keep ing back some circumstances in the case of the euldier tried before Mr. Blackburne, which tended to spew that he walnut uneointovc- ' ly acquitted ; and with concealing the fact that Mr. 'Backbone, u; on the trial, told Mr. O'Gorman, the prosecutor, that he approved of all Ws proceedings. If he did say so-1 he told the prosecuting Counsel that he approved of the mild ness and temperance with which he had cordected his accusation, that does not aster the proceeding itself—that does' not take away front the ortgnal sin of interfering with the due a Int ieistration of justice. '1 ite Honourable Gentleman who *peke. last, had asserted too, that it was not known what the magistrates . sa'd—it was not his duty to be present—but he knew the t With unanimous: and in proof of it. he mould read Mr. lack. t towne's Report .—" It stated. that th e trial lasted seveh Aim that the aohler was acquitted by a bench of forty-three tSagis trates unanimously, and that the evidence disclosed a foul and malignant conspiracy to criminate the soldier. In the other case, he had stated that a man had been tried far mar. der, end that the Judge, in pronouncing his acqu'atal, had pro- nouneed him not only innocent, but worthy of commendation. This has been met by an assertion, that he was acquitted on account of a question of the lit-mentor's Counsel being disallowed. Such a' statement could only be supported by imputing corruption to Baron j 31•Clefland. a Judge universally known for his reprobarion.of Orange principies. In a case of misdemeanor too, before the same Judge, it had been said, that a man had been found gulty upon doubtful evidence. Here, then, was a case to prove the utility of the Association. if this man had been in nocently condemned, how comes it that months hate elapsed without the slightest interference, and that, ton, In a case fittit g for its interposition ? Has the Itriaoner, If an justly condetnned, ever called for a revision of hts sentence from' the usual tribunals? No, not one trord had been heard of it. The Honourable Gentleman concluded by observing, that be bad' said thus ranch solely in his own justification. Mr. V F:S EY FITZGERALD said, a pert of the delay, in the case of the soldier, proceeded front the Magistrates having taken' the opportunity of such a numerous assemblage to take into con sideration the Insurrection Act. _ The House then divided, w hen there appeared— • For lean: to bring in the Bill . - 278 Against it . . . - 123 Against it - 15.3 31r. BROUGHAM then proposed that a delay of one h►e!k should he allowed, to give the Catholics an opportunity of being benrd by Counsel at the Bar, against the Bill. Some conversation took place between the Hon. and Learned Gentleman and Mr. PI:EL, and it w.tc finally agreed that the 11111 should be real a tirst time to-night. end a second time on Monday rest, and that there should be a call of the !louse on that day.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, from which we have nes • room for extracts, contain nothing of interest. The Austria's Otserver acknowledges that the internal dissensions cf the Greeks have completely terminated. • The debate respecting the Catholic Association, con. eluded this morning at four o'clock. On the ditision the numbers were—For the suppression of the Association, 278—Against it, 123—Wority, 135. It is one of the important consequences arising out of practical experience and the progress of knowledge, that an almost complete revolution has been effected in mattes relatirg to the science of finance—the knowledge of politi cal economy—and the true principles of trade and com merce. ENGLAND has the great merit of originating these enlightened doctrines on these subjects, which are slowly making their,way throughcfut all the States of Europe. The whole commonwealth of Christen& to partakes, in this way, of the incalculable benefits arising from that freedom of discussion and inquiry in this country which, through the medium of the public press, circulates the result of its re searches through the whole realms of civilization. The Emperor ALEXANDER, though his Ministers do not deserve to take rank among great statesmen, would nevertheless :Z not think of bas big personal taxes on Jews, heretics, bachelors, awl boards, as Was done under his ancestor, PETER THE !'test. Many projects which were gravely brought forward by the different Governments of Europe fifty years ago, would revise no legislative countenance were they to be now proposed for the first time. The pro gress of science is imperceptibly laying anew, as it were, the foundation of [wittiest society. Greatly to the credit of Ministers, E:tland is taking the lead in this respect. Theories that experience has proved to be built on an unsound basis, no iongcr, as formerly, find a host of advo- cates in Parliament. Merchants begin themselves to un derstand in what national wealth actually consists. This was well shown the other day, by the manner in which the enlightened sentiments of Mr. Ca xicixc were received at the Ship-owners' dinner. He boldly broached the doctrine tl.. nations ought not to fear each other's prosperity—that all branches of industry may everywhere flourish together—that it is only the increasing wealth of any nation that can entWe it to purchase the agricultural and manufactured prcduee of other nations—and that the superior skill and Capital of Great Britain is best kept in activity when her neighbours have, like herself, a fair field for the one, and full employment for the other. The ready acquiescence of our commercial men in these broad views of the subject, shows that all the little preju- • dices of the old school are fast fading away. it is on the above account that we deprecate the inter ference of the Latin CHANCELLOR and his projected Bill regarding JOINT-STOCK cost PA NIES. No man living is better acquainted than his Lordship with the machinery of law, as applied to real property, but with the laws that put in motion the machinery of monied capital, we believe him to be "innocent of the knowledge;" and lie will inevitably do much harm if lie attempts to exercise any effectual control over its agency. The element of all monied capital is the open air—its "service is perfect freedom" No Equity Lawyer—though warm from the Woohiack—should attempt to meddle with it: the spring, which regulate it are too fine for the fingers of the law to feel. Political economy and the economy of Lord ELDON • may agree in name, but in their theory no two things can be more unlike ; they are as different as the pole of the heavens from the pole of a coach. This will he seen when his Lordship's Bill comes to be canvassed in the House of Commons. If we truly prophesy its fate, its appearance need excite no alarm in the money market. In consequence of its being settling-day in the foreign market on Monday, there was but little business doing yesterday. Speculators had scarcely commenced their new bargains. The little, however, that was done, was at rather improving prices. New Greek was at I'l, and once, for a short time, it was quoted at 2 : it looked extremely well all day. Spanish fluctuated a good deal between 231 and 24a. The cause of this might be from a report being in circula tion, and pretty generally believed, that a loan is about to he negotiated in London for the Spanish Government. The l old Greek was very firm at 58! to 59. New Brazilian was done at 4}, and a good deal sought after at that price, for the impression in the Market was, that its present trifling decline was only temporary. The New Mexican was at 31 to In the English Market there was net much business doing: Consols for Money were at 94, 9.3 i, and 94. For the Account, the prices fluctuated between 93f and 94. The Mines were all on the advance. Letters received at Liverpool, from St. Domingo, dated the 31st December last, do not mention anything respect ing a French force being off that Island. Extract of a letter dated Lima, 4th October, 1824, re ceived by a gentleman at Liverpool :—" Six officers, and the same number of men, belonging to the Patriot army, arrived at Lima, and distributed some papers from the Liberator. Nothing had transpired as to their intention on entering the city. The greater part of the inhabitants are in favour of the Patriots, and were expecting them every day; but nothing would be done until the arrival 'of Admiral Guise, who was looked for every hour." The following is an extract of a letter from Truxillo, dated September 25 The inclosed copy of a letter re ceived this morning from Guayaquil, will show you how much Colombia is doing for us. General Paez, with 5 000 men, on the coast of l'eru, within two months from this date, places the independence of Peru beyond the reach of chance :—` The affairs of the country, whilst any oppo sition by Old Spain continues to be made, never can have a snore decided character in favour of ultimate and imme diate independence, though at present the credit of the country, too, cannot but be influenced by the rigid system of economy acted upon by General Bolivar. The province of Truxillo alone has been equal to all the current expeeses of the State during the last eight months.'" A Charleston paper of the 15th of January, contain* the following letter from New Orleans, dated Dec. 30:— " At the mormmt we were About putting our paper to press. re learnt. that a letter has been received from the Hartnnalt, statine, that a Colombian squadron, of twelve sail. tinder the command eC Commodore Beinche, had arrived lately before that port, and esta blished their cruising ground.
