UST respectfully submitted to the Public the extremely severe case of Mr. THOMAS CHAP MAN, late of Southwark.—Nearly thirty years ago he discovered sad invented the means of making the For of the South Sea Seal-skins available to oar manufacturers. Pre sous to this important discovery, the valuable Fur ouw obtained from the scsi by his invention, was made no use of other than for manure fur the laud. The Fur Seal-skins were of so little value, as scarcely to be worth the freight of the ship. They were chiefly mold to the tanners, at from four-pence lo two shillings each ; they have 'Mee been sold .121. sad upwards per skin, and their Far at eighty shil lings per pound weight. Immense quantifies of Seal Fur are yearly mannfartured sod worked up into hate, shawls, and cloth of great valise. Numerous and various articles of ovirameatal and comfortable clothing are also manufactured from it ; and it is calculated, that from fifty to one hundred thoosaud Fur Seat-skins have, on average, been annually imputed sad worked up since the tithe their Fur was by Mr. Chapman first made available. Not having the mean. in his poser, when he made this important discovery, of seeurtng it to himself, was the cause of his failure ■nd presest distress. The public bath already benefited by it to a Brest amount. The friends of the above meritorious but truly unfor tunate individual, have deemed it advisable to solicit PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION, in the hope of raising a fund that may, is some degree, alleviate hi, sufferings.

DIOCESE OF PETERBOROUGH. Lord KING said he had to present a Petition, on which he considered it his duty to make some ob sesvations ; it was a case of great importance as it concerned the Established Church. and also as it concerned the commussit i y . at large. It was the Petition of the Rev. Henry Neville, who was Rector of the parishes of Lothersirick and Scots more, in the diocese of Peterborough, complain ing against the conduct of the Right Reverend Prelate of the dioceses. The Petitioner found it necessary to appoint a curate to perform the duty in one of the parishes, and he appointed the Rev. Julio Greene, who had the certificate of the Bishop of York that he had sulosciibed to the 39 Articles. Fie applied to the Bishop of Peterborough for a license, the diocesan put 87 questions and answers to him to subscribe to, which, on hi. refusing, the license was not granted. The Petitioner sips reeled to the Archbishop of Canterbury ; thu answer was delayed for a length of time, and when it came it was laconic, and stated that the exami nation of a Curate for license was vested in the Bishop of the Diocese. He (Lord King) thought this was not a sufficient answer for • Judge, as he ought to have stated his reasons tbr his judgment. He did not understand the Canon Law, but he thought a Clergyman 'subscribing to the 39 Arti cles was all that was required of him. If the Bishop refused to admit is Clergymsa to a benefice, the claimant would have his remedy at common law ; but that remedy was not open to the claimant for a cure; the only appeal he had was to the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose duty it was to act as a Judge, bound by rules, as all Judges iu Westminster Hall were, and if they erred in judgment.there was •-• remedy by writ of error. He considered the eight of examination was properly given to the 'Bishops for candidates to be admitted as clergymen of the chinch, but he would pitt it to their Lord ships, whether the 87 printed questions could be for the purpose of useerisining the ability of dip daimauta ? They cert a inly ' h e wed the opinion of , 'the Right Rev. Prelate, but could tint draw out 'any thing from the person they ware pot to, at the gnawers were also printed ; besides, from their le.id 7 :18g nature, it was impossible. If they were in tended as a test. the law had provided a better we—the 39 Articlee. Calling on a Curate to sub imribe to the 87 questions, put him in a must awkward situation, as they do not agree with the '99 Articles; then, if the Curate does not subscribe' alp tlwat, he is'refused his license; if, the 39 Articles lyre were 1,20 a proirositions—in the 87 quevtior.el *sere were 1 2,000. When the questiosus were vent tra l the Curate, lie said he would consider them ; the Right Rev. Prelate answered, that he must • e- Iliately subscribe to them as his patrons siproverl of 'them, and if he did not he would nut have Iris license, and might seek what remedy he pleased. He had heard that this doctrine of the Right Rev. Prelate amongst ecclesiastics was jocularly called cobwebs to catch Calvinists. His great objection to the eighty-seven questions was, that they tended to produce a schism in the church. If it was law ful for one Prelate to pet such questions, it would be equally lawful for another Prelate to put dif ferent questions. In his opinion there was nothing that would go more to disturb the peace of the church. He always understood the tenets of the church were to produce peace and quietness, it was so from all the authorities he had read on the subject, anti from the same authorities lie found that the greatest ornaments of die church had not risen to the greatest dignities. The Thirty-nine Articles were considered articles of pence, at the same time they were not those of conscience, but the less that was said about them the better. It was, however, hlrd on the part of a Prelate to throw difficulty iii the way of those that adhered to them. lie thought the Right Rev. Prelate might he satisfied with the Articles of the Church of Englund as they had been drawn up by the Re harmers of the Church. He considered that the eighty-wren questions not only went to aggrieve the clergy of the Right Rev. Prelate's diocese. but to disturb the general community. The Right Rev. Prelate said his eighty-seven questions was for the purpose of causing uniformity in the church, but he (Lord King) contended that uniformity could not he obtained without peace in the church, which could not be obtained by forcing new tenets on the clergy. He would move that the Petition should be read, and afterwards wove, that it should be laid on the table. The Bishop or PETERBOROUGII rose and said, as the Petition had been printed sud distributed in the shape of a pamphlet for two mouths, be supposed every Noble Lord was in.possession of its contents. The Rector of Lotherwick had ap pointed a Curate, whose license was refused on account of his refusing to be examined according to the rules of the diocese. The Rector appealed to the Archbishop of Canterbury ; and on receiv ing his answer, he did in September present an other person to the cure. who submitted to be ex amined, and was licensed, and ...sat present in pos. session of the cure. If the Rector had received an injury from the diocesan, he had his appeal to the Archbishop of Canterbury ; he had taken that course, and on getting an answer lie acted according to it. The Petitioner, therefore. had nothing to complain of; but lie did not wish to cover him self wider that. The examination which he had proposed was in the usual way, that of question and answer, to see whether the persons claiming were of the religious opinions that ought to entitle them to ordination or license. The inquiry into religious doctrines was not the province of either House of Parliament. The 48th cotton required the examination or a Curate to entitle hiou to a license; it gave tio form of examination, but left it to the discretion of the Bishop, and wisely so, be cause the Bishop knew what wits wanted in his diocese. He put his questions to the claimants, to discover whether they were possessed of the new doctrines that were going about. He denied that his questions were wrong, but he con tended if they were, Parliatnerit could not in terfere, for the Canons were law to the Bishops. The subscription required to the answers to the questions was only to skew that they were the an swers of the persons subscribing. He contended his questions were according to the original standard, for lie knew no other, because they were upheld by ' Holy Scripture. He did not require the answers to be subscribed in his presence. lie sent them to he dune at the person's leisure, and sometimes when the answers were not satisfactory, he remonstrated, and often brought them back to the proper standsrtl. If subscription to the 39 Articles was all that was titers sary. they would soon have the same thing !tappet, in Cols country as did in Switzerland. His que•- tioas were not intended as a test of ability, but as a test of doctrine. The number of persons refused ordination on account of not answering the ques tions, was one ; those refused license for cures for not answering, one ; and those refused license for not answering at all, two, one of whom was Mr. Greene, the Curate in question, and this was the mighty evil the House of Lords was called ou for their interference. The questions were approved of by the great body of the clergy. as they went to expose fanaticism. He thought it his duty to say thus much, and he left the Petition with their Lordships to deal with it as they might think proper. Loid KING replied, and observed, that nut one of the other Right Rev. Prelates had attempted to assert that they had put similar questions to the clergy of their dioceses. The Noble Lord then moved that the Petition should be laid on the table. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he rose merely to set their Lordships right as to the appeal which. it was said had been made to bins, and the -s-~ ~- The Earl of Hattacswer did not see what benefit could arise from the Petition lying on the table.— He wished the Reverend Bench to have the SOW discretion on these subjects which they had for centuries ; but they ought to use that discretiou liberally, as was. intended by the Constitution, not to exclude men from being ministers of the church because there was a slight difference of opinion.— It never was intended that Calvinists should be ex cluded from the b'nefits of the church. It was the duty of the Reverend Bench to look ut the question liberally, and not narrowly. Earl G•EY said, the Right Rev. Prelate had told them that they had no jurisdiction, for if he had acted wrong there was an appeal to the Arch bishop of Canterbury ; and they had heard Iron► that Most Rev. Prelate that he had no jurisdiction. Then where could the jurisdiction be if it war not in Parliament ? and it was high time it should interfere, when • Curate removing from one diocese to aimilier, and asking for a license, had to subscribe to eighty-seven new Articles of faith before he could obtain his purpose. He agreed with the Noble Earl (1-larrowby) if it was neces sary for a new test to exclude Calvinists from the church, it must be done by • convocation appointed by the Crown, ■nd not by the 87 Articles of the Right Rev. Prelate. The Bishop of PreeitnottoncH denied that his questions had ■ny such effect. He had nothing to do with Calvinism ; they were to protect the Eats blished Chinch from having those admitted into it who held different doctrines from it. Earl G•EY, in continuation, said, lie collected from the speech of the Right Rev. Prelate the cause of the observation he had made, but he now found that his construction was wrong, for the 87 Articles were to protect the Church Irom different doctrines ; it however amounted nearly to the same thing, but allowing it, it ought not to be provided for by the individual act of the Right Rev. Pre late, who felt much offended at his 87 Articles be ing called a new question of faith. Looking to the questions themselves they were to all intents and purposes a new test. This might he Ivry pro per, but it ought not to be done on the sole au thority of the Right Rev. Prelate. It was • new standard of faith to which subscription was re quired, as it was different from the 39 Articles, and he required explicit answers from a Clergyman before he licensed him for a cure. What would be the consequence if the Right Rev. Prelate was allowed to iiitroduce his tratican, and another Bishop his vaticau I it would cause • division in the church. He was of opinion that their Lordships had full juri.diction, and that the Petition ought to be maintained. Lord CALTHORPC spoke in explanation. The Marquis of LANBDOWN supported the mo tion.
