4-- _: Mr. Pinlinty, in the name of that flovernment, had given an earnest of their approval, by declanug they viewed it with complete abhorrence. When the rank of Great Britain among nations. and her naval pre-eminence, were so great, much might be effect ed in doing away from the earth tins disgrace to the character of mankind t and so seasonable a lit 'nod of the world, in his opinion, ought by no means to be neglected. ever this desirable event should occur—il ever the nations of cite earth should coin- pletely extirpatesuch a traffic—it was uuw viewed with so much just- abhorrence by all honest and deserviug men—by all that wz o s u t i ood and virtuous amongst mankind—that he venture to sac, tso man, or set of men, would ever be so de- . _ stitute of shame as again to minim this wicked trade, for which be would be branded with in famy by the rest of his fellow-creatures. As the traffic now existed, it was • certainly the duty of Government to endeavour by all means to induce other nations by negociation to unite with this country in its abolition. It was their duty to see that the laws which had been made for that pur., pose were not evaded by the subjects of this coon. try, in clandestinely carryiug on the trade in fu. reign bottoms, and that no sanction should be . wren those who presumed, in any ra nuuer, to commit this infrogement of our laws. To the helm, of this colony in the island of Jamaica, he observed there was not one instance of their evasion, and he thought it right not to con clude his observations, without paying them the tribute which on this account was due to their cha racter. He concluded by moving " That an I ble Address be presented to Ills Majesty, requesting him to me his endeavours tourge other nations, to amity with Great Britain, to mute with this country in the abolition of the African Slave 'nude ; and that Ili* Majesty would order Isis ships to prevent as much as possible the violation of those l a ws whi c h bad been made fur the purpose of putting an end to so inhuman a traffiek." The Earl of LIVIMPUOI. did not rise to offer any opposition to the Address proposed by the Noble Lord. Although he was unt oue of the majority when the two Houses of Parliament addressed Ilia Majesty, on a former occasion, it was from a consi deration of the difficulty in effecting those mea sures which were then adopted ; but now he had no hesitation iu declaring his concurrence with most of the remarks made by the Noble Lord. At the same time he could assure the House, Ills Ma jesty's Miiii•ters had not been remiss in promoting, by eveq po•sible means, what bad been so strongly expressed us the wish of the Legislature. With re. apem to the colony of Jamaica, he load no doubt of the correct isifuriestion of the Noble Lord ; sod it not only.reflected hoimar upon them for their disposition to coincide with the laws of their coun try, but it shelved they were capable of maintaining their interests without violating those laws; and if the abolition could thus be enforced, without injury on that island, there was DO doubt it might equally be ext.iirlird over the whole of our other colonies. The Address was agreed to unanimously.

DISSENTERS. Viscount Stpuotint rasa for the purpose of rf!- minding theW Lordships, that. towards thsr conclu sion of the last Session, he had thought it his duty to move for certain returns of licensed preachers and teachers amongst those who domented from the Established Church. These returns hull been laid on the table, in the coinniencement of the pre sent Session, and ht then signified his intention to hem.; this subject tinder their consideration, tiolets some one more competent than himself should un dertake the discharge of that duty. It was a sub ject of the utmoat importance ; but he had been in ducerl to refrain hitherto from proposing any re-solu tions, on accouut of considerable delicacy being involved in the discussion; and from thOse who were most entopeteist to judge, he was dissuaded this Session from carrying his intentions into effect. It was perhaps justly Rutted, that, without the full est deliberation, any measure which he should propose, would be litble to misapprehension and mninterpretation. Ile was, however, the last maw to disturb the rights of toleration ; and so for from lOs having any thing Mintiest to the interests of Diesenterv, he believed the on-a gate which he had is contemplation 'wet the gr. wend approbation of that religions body. Their Lordships must all knew, that, is the exercise of the magistracy, there were instances of these li cameo being granted, which were extremely inju nom in their result. As the law now stood, every persons taking certain oaths entitled hint to • certificate, which authorised him to preach what doctrines he pleased from the Bible, without regard to age, capacity, or character. It was well known the ignorant and depraved bail obtained these certificates, which also exempted them from all parochial ofiii•ew, and from being liable to serve is the army or the navy. 're pre vrut the improper grout of these licenses, and to place...salutary maniac upon those who were miffs appointed to the other of preacher, he had in tended to have brought the ',object under th e ir Lordships consideration. But he thought it re el ll 11l e, under all circumstances, to postpone ally measure he might have in contemplation, till the next Session of l'arliainest ; and should, therefore, abstain from entering further at present into the nature of his intended motion, on the unbounded grant of those licenses. Earl STA N HOPE mid, he was conscious of the ir regularity of taking up the time of the House in speaking upon notices. But he could not refrain from nimeitig the manner in which the Noble Visconti' on the cross-bench had occupied their time without condescendiug to explain the nature of that motion lie intended to make. and of which he had given so long a notice. The Noble Viscount had spoke of the age, the character, and the learn ing which ought to exist in those to wl license. were granted. Upon these several requi sites, he should be glad to know bow the Nab', Viscount would fix the mode of ascert g their different propositions ? For instance, what nostrum would the Noble Viscount turscril.e, by which their Lordships should aintert.ln the mouthy of learniux iseeennary to exist ill a dissenter before the license was granted to him' VAtANNAIIi suissowni thought he hail sufficiently explained the Menus wld.h had gitidtil his tanditct Upon the present occasion. But, front the remarks made by the Noble Paul, he was induced to state more particularly the nature of those measnres which he hod it In contemplation to propose. The chief object he bad it, view was to require from the lit - retell Intendlllg to net under such a license, a cer tificate from the cougreg 'nun or sot to whom he belonged, flow he was a competent person, in their opinion, to the discharge of the duty of a preacher, and that it was by their recommendation he ap plied for the license. if such a guard were placed against the abases of toleration, it would not (tidy Le beneficial to those tinder the established Church, but, he sail authority to say, it would meet the up. probation of the ;:enerat part of the Dissenters. Lord lloi.t AND was sorry to irregularly intrude himself upon the notice of their Loroithips, when no motion was below them ; but lie thought the Noble l'iseount would have subjected himself to considerable misimilerstanding, had he not more explicitly defined the precise ohject of his intended motion. 11 1 th regard to hini.elf, lie so much vs lifed,the blessing, ei t iot ed under the Toleration Act, that the allt gatimt or reemmatendation of any lupvidual would never i ttluce him to alter the pro lusions. The 11711 , I1V0 . 111 , 'Ill'it - 4 resulting front that Act mast be of uncommon injury, before he should be satisfied in coliviirriii g i% it li such an alteration. APPII9I'IO I I lON RI 1.1.. This Bill Rimed to r Committee of the whole Hour..., %%heti Lord Hot 1. tsu rime, not v:;tliont reluctance, to 'spree' his ilisatibliction with a certain grant made by the Bill, particulatly as it was made fur the ex pressed purpose of relieving the lower orders of the clergy. It was his wish not to be misunderstood, for he was not nuntindfol of the state of that else' of the chorch whothis grant were intruded to be relieved. ' by Bat in respect to the inferior clergy, their situation had beets considerably Unproved in the reign of Queen Anne, compared to their sitter ties io the time of the Beforinatiou ; and they were now still better than in the tune of Anne. This was therefore an unpropitious time for tasking to them so large a grant ef the public money. when taxes on taxes burdened the people, and when there needed im accession to Bait load en der which they a: present gemmed. Braider, the mode of rebel estencied to thews by the grant of 100,0001. was not permanent, and on that accouut was subjected to every objectiou. In sueh terms he was serious in saying, that the higher orders of the Clergy were the lint source to which the atten tion of the inferior order ought principally to be directed ; fur they were naturally called upon by their conirectums. and other eiteuturtances, to es tend every messes of relief towards their brethren its the saute profes..on. It was on these grounds lie felt disposed to enter his protest against the Mea sure. If, utter making every sacrifice of sinecure places in tie Church, he meant those livings where there was HO core of souls, the Clergy were still in need of assistance to relieve their necessities, he should have hail sin such ObjeCtllM against so large grant of the saddle utotivy. Elie Earl of Heaeowue addressed the Hauer et great length upon the objet hone stated by the Noble Lord opposite, slid stated many oh-ersse tions, which, in his intuit. ware sulficietit reasons for resorting to the grant contained in this Bill, fur the purpose of relies ing the lower orders of the •kr g y. With re• peel to the state of Ilse iof. nor Clergy, in (Met, reigns, if the value of too .ey were not to form w part of the consideration, Ul4. .1001)tedly the differeutre would be this, that for. timely mere of the livings would fill uncle' 1301. yet annum, thew at the present day.— Bed if the velem of money were Considered, he was not prepared at present to contend which period of time was most favourable to the interests of this order of the clergy. At the same time he concurred with the Noble Lord, that this measnre was one which would be better discussed in a Bill by itself. than as at present assimilated with other grants in the Appropriation Act. F the last mums there appeared to he upwards of Soo° livings in this country, under 1301. per anuetn. Upwards of 1000 were still 11,11 more than 501. s l am After taking an estimate of the different livings in the chum!), he argiwil there was an urgent necessity for the relief to the lower orders of the Clergy, extend ed by the pre ..•11t Bill. The Nubile Lord had alluded to the higher orders of the Clergy, and had contended there we. a stouter where the neceseitous of their iliferior brethren might Ile relieved.— But, if it were enema that the inequality of the higher orders was to be destroyed. • lie could not concur with the position; because he considered that ioequelity us a part of the perfection to be found in the ecclesiastical estublishment. That inequality furnished ti ei4lltl of rewarding the different a'elutions of merit to 1w found in those who tilled the higher offices of church pre ferment. He next 'Adverted to the number of licensed chapels or meeting.houses of those who dissented from the Church of F.nglosid, and, from the returns made to the Hauge, in ensue. quince 'Attie Noble Viscount'. mote..., it appeaied there were upwards oL. 14.001.1 useetiug-houses in this kingdom. lie ripposnion to such foes, the Church had only 11,900 beneficed livings. The Noble Earl stated the population of different parts of the country, for the purpose of strewing that there were nut sufficient provisions made for the Church ; in one place, such was the proportion between the runt of money paid to the Church and the number of people. over *hot* it had the cure of smile, that it did not amount to more than ed. pi r soul,atel in another place. it MIX only 1 111. fur Ciely soul. There were upwards of 1800 livings Iselil in the way of pluralitieie lint the greater number of them were those of • larger amount than 1501. ro-year. He thought it would be a wise maxim, in case of alini ng 'wings, to p reven t their po verty. to dire ct, by a sweeping law, that in small livings, if a curate were employed, he should have the whole of the salary. He eon chided by *berrying, that it was Ibis intention at a future time to propowe a plan of greater extent of relief ; bet, in the mean time, it was eh• solutely necessary to grant this teinporsire relief, and he trusted the Noble Lord himself would not further entertain his objections to the/measure. Earl Sete HOlre said, he was always glad to beer the Noble Feud opposite speak. for he generally expressed himself without ni-orring any 'mimed verities for the 'mat of perspicuity. lii the mess tiete he was attohished to hest him lilei the CiturA; for be was certein, bail hr (Earl Smithops) ut ttred such sentiments, ht should have been pros tautness, aggro.' libeller of our thurcli establishment. The Noble Earl had elude those proptisitions which he dionld hare utade hituself, but they would he found et variative in the nature of their conclusions. lie,. the Noble Lail illarroa by) had represented property to he the poly foundation of the Church of &silent!. The 110tASt 531011 of pro- perty was the 01.17 material object for which the Establishment waren:lune. A Noble Viscounty not now present (Melville), mid stitrd that the k rk of Scotland was founded upon a rock of poverty, but the Noble End's arguments were of no use but to prose that the Church of England ought to he founded upon a rock of riches. They appeared to have no other character than that of uequiring riches. The inequality of the higher orders has; also been ',raised, and the Noble Errl had slated, that it afforded au opportunity of recording merit ; but what was the nature of the merit? Did ever anv person hear of a Bishop being promoted for his religions •merit ? No smelt thing; the only use of Bishops was to support the itifluence of ,Ministers. It Was well known that if any Bishop gave his vote Can• scantly for the Adiniiiistration, they found ail opp n r• trinity of rewarding him by raisin... , him to a weal thier place in the Prelacy. lie thought the Noble Earl had made a slip when he called the Dissenters the foes of the Estoblished Church. %VIM, was it man who entertained :I different opinion to be denounced a foe to the Church of England? Suppoie a Baptist, hscause he did not believe in thev.prink ling of a child with water to tie so OM:at:ion, as the dipping of the person grown to maturity, was lie therefore to breaded a traitor, or foe to she Clitirch of England ? There was a law in America he much admired, it was a wise law and a canon, one. If any man gave a bond to a pi lest, prioni•ing money fur the discharge of his religious finic.ions, it was declared void in it Corot of Joon e. Said the Noble Earl (Stall-ow), the shrewd American argots thus, t% but are Priests for? Why, to make men honest. Then why did not the pnest perform his duty towards the grantor of the bond ? If lie had made the man honest, there would have been nu occasion to apply to a court of just;. e. The condition of the liond was the very purpose of mak ing the man honest, and if he did oat perform that duly, the priest hail completely faired in his pro tnise. cud therefore the hood was void. This us, m y Lords, moat eicellesit logic. • Lord HOLUM) made a very animated reply, in a Inch he maintained , that th e in crease o f PatsiTy to the Church Establishment was nu security of the increase of their followers ; but rather of the re verie, that they would be leawdisposed to discharge the duty of their functions.
