ENQUIRY The Earl of DARNLEY called the attention of their Lordships to the various Naval documents which were some time before the House. In what he should propose on the subject, he was satiated by no personal considerations with respe& to the Noble Earl lately at the bead of the Admiralty. However, he felt it his duty to say, that the docu -1 ments alladel to, containing information, by no swans so extensive as he wished. and had called for, detective as it was, and falline short in most particu lars of what he thought should have been laid be fore the House, were yet worthy the serious atten tion of their Lordships. He intended to move, that the said papers should be referrnt.to toe considera tion of a Committee of their Lordships. The No ble Earl adverted to Tuesday se'nnight, as a proper day for considering of his intended Motion, and was about to move for a summons for that day, when it was stated to him, their Lordships were already summoned for that day; this being found the case, his Lordship seemed to say, he should be regul.tted by the coarse which business should take on th,tt day; that in the interval, he should consider and make up his mind, as to the ecise time tor hi, proceeding further in the bu siness. UNIVERSITIES ADVOWSON HILL. The Or ter of the day being read for their Lord ships going into a Committee on this Bill ; Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH rose, and, in a speech of some length, opposed the proceeding. It was with pain he differed, and on topics of such pe culiar importance as those involved in the measure in question, from the Reverend and Lea, ned l're late who brought forward the Bill. It was said, it would he a boon to the Universities. No person could possibiy have a greater respell for the-e very useful, karned, and respeaable bodies, than him self ; yet he conceived that the Bill before the Honse would operate rather as a boon to individu..ll be lcmginn; to those Corporations, than to the institu tions them s elves. Great stress was laid upon the in conveniences produced by the restriaions which the Bill was intended to remove, but he believed no proof whatever was brought forward of any praCti cal inconvenience having taken place. The restric tion had continued for more than half a century. It was enaaed at the instance of that profound lawyer and venerable Magistrate, Lord Hardwicke, who, uo doutst, had thoroughly considered the subject be fore he proposed the restraining clause. In the for mer .Lobate on the subjeU, it was also said, the suc- , cession to the Livings was at present too slow for the beneficial. purposes of the institution ; but of this no proof was brought forward, and, as the case stood, he was entitled to c-intend, were the restriction re moved, the succession would he too rapid. Ile was perfeetly aware of the importance of the subject to which theta considerations referred, and oo one could be more willing to promote the comforts and the interests cf those persons dieted by the Bill, as far as the same could he done without trenching on those principles, and an that system, upon which the institutions were hitherto iorroduced. The im portant consideration of a due connection between the properties of the Laity and the F.cclesiastical establishments 44-erie country, made also a part of the present sublet?. How far giving an unlimited power to the Universities to acqaire advowsons, would operate with rowed to that consideration, was matter for serious discussion. He repeated, nu pudica) inconvenience had hitherto been proved to exist. He was against conferring an unlimited ;snow on t Lreriersities, though, under what had been swot. he nad no otlettion to open the door wider, and to extend the proportion of the number of livings from one halt to three fourths of the number •dr fellows in the se spedive colleges. Nor did he ohjeCt to 'other re gulations being made, upon the same principle, such AS augmenting the value of the present livings, &c. ; but he was hostile to all innovations, which did not proveably proceed upon sure and certain grounds. A more liberal provision made for those meritorious persons, could, he thought, be obtained, without having recourse to a sweeping repeal of 41 limitation whatever. Adverting to the present state of church livings in general, and the duties of parochial Ministers ; his Lordship thought the augmcitation of the value of small livings would be highly beneficial, as well as the ereEtion of .mote churches in the populous parts of the country, and in great towns, in many parts of the metropolis, in particular. With respect to the subjeit a the Bill in question, he contended their Lordships had by ro means sufficient informa tion to proceed upon. He saw no immediate neces sity for proceeding with the measure. Time, cer tainly, should be given for farther enquiry. If; however, it should be the general sense of the House, that the Bill shall speedily be committed, be hoped what he had suggested, in the way of detailed re gulation, would be seriously considered by their Lordships ; such as, that the extent of the increased proportion of livings should not be suffered to ex ceed three-fourths—and the smaller livings aug mented.—Under his present views of the ques tion, what he should propose was, that the Bill should be postponed until next session, for the pur poses he had mentioned. He would, therefore, pro pose to amend the question regularly before the House, by omitting the word " now ;" and insert ing "this day three mouths." On the question being put ; The Bishop of OXFORD rose, and argued ge nerally in support of the measure. He contended that the proportion in which the restraint stood, by the existing law, was fallacious in the extreme. The knowledge which their Lordships had of the sub jeCt was sufficient for them to proceed upon. There was nothing in the bill, to interfere with the aug mentation of the value of the smaller livings ; the ereEtion of churches, or a more suitable pension for the officiating Clergy. With respell to the idea, that no praffical inconvenience had hitherto resulted from the restraint ; there was no necessity of dire, proof of it before the House ; it was every day, and in juriously felt. An appeal to the Colleges would soon convince on that head—particularly that of which the Noble and Learned Lord was a Member; abundant proofs of that could be found. He must, therefore deprecate any further postponement of the discussion. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY observed, that he conceived the principal ohjedions of the Noble Viscount to the Billl, to be, first, an appre hension, that, were the existing restraint removed. the succession to the University Livings would be too rapid; and, secondly, that it would tend to de prive the laity of too great a degree of that portion of patronage, which he conceived to be at present so beneficially vested in them. With resped to the first objedion, his Grace observed, he conceived the state of the funds of the universities would operate as a sufficient check to any thing which might be feared, if too rapid. With respell to the present state of the patronage of ecclesiastical livings, he should be extremely sorry to see it taken away from numbers of those who at present enjoy ed it, and who so beneficially dispensed it, particu larly Members of that Noble House. But there was another description of patronage, which, the y must all feel, had a very different tendency. He al luded to that, which was afloat in the market, and every day bought and sold under circumstances in jurious to the establishment of the church, the inte rests of religion, and, he believed, against the laws of the realm; the patronage of such persons might- easily be placed in better hands, and in none more advantageously than those of the Universities. He had not the least apprehension on the score of too rapid a succession. And, convinced as he ft-lr of the beneficial tendency of the measure, he should sup port the original motion. Lord AUCKLAND, though he professed him self not unfriendly to the bill, yet was of opinion that their Lordships had not sufficient information to go upon : a pradical inconvenience was a matter capable of proof; let that be brought froward, and the amount and respedtive value of the livings in the hands of the different colleges should also be known. The funds of the universities may also be matter of proper consideration, for it was =pm taut to know how far they had the means uf providmg, which they themselves held forth as a remedy for the al leged grievance: there was no evidence whatever tor these heads before the Howe. ' The Bishop of O:SIFORD shortly observed, he %as in possession of soma detailed iaforioa- tion on those heads, did Noble Lords deem it nee cessary. Lord AUCKLAND resumed. He contended . for the propriety of having an account of throisurn her and value of Livings in the Rift of the different Colleges, as some of those it might be desirable so- . augment. The state of their respe aive Mode should also be known. One general ruie cool] not properly b' laid down for the whole. The means of some Colleges for providing for its Members may he more than sufficient ; of others, they may be in adequate. It was a sulmjea on which they should not proceed to legislate blindly. It may, however, be desirable to go into a Committee on the Bill; as that detailed mode of discu;sion may at least give them an idea of the precise nature of the necessary ;arm-motion. Lord GRENVILLE in some degree agreed with the Noble Lord who spoke last, in deern;ng that the House WAS not possessed of sufficient information he thought it, however, better to proceed pith the Bill, and endow to get the necessary informs. -- tiers. than to postpone the measure to an indefinite _period, without the least eniteritty of procuring the necessary tuformation. It would be preferable to go into the Committee, to ascertain thepteciee nee tore of the information wanted, and adopt measures to obtain it. The measure before the House was, he contended, brought forward on adequate parlia mentary grounds. The real merits of the Bill, ' as it then stood, resolved into this question, di., there or net now exist sufficient grounds for con tinuing the restriction ? With respea to the appre hension of a rapid secession, he thought those persons who so worthily presided in the different colleges would take care to prevent that ; but he was inclined, upon the whole, to credit the asser tion that the present socession to the College Liv ings was too slow, and in considering th is part of the subjea, the peculiarly strong claims of those who were to he ameliorated by the Bill, should be attended to. The qu:stion under consideration was. not of figures or of numerical calculation, but of reasoning, feeling, and presumption. With teepea to that salutary and beneficial conneaion which sub sisted between the property of the laity, and the reli gious establishments or the country, did he perceive the least tendency in the Bill to militate against the measure; but with a most Reverend Preate (the Primate), he thought it would have a contrary tendency. He had no tears on •that head, for even Aid too great an accumulation of advowsont, us too rapid a succession ensue, the legislature might here after interpose and check it, as %Chad already done. Many of the arguments of a Noble Viicoont, her contended, operated for, iestead of against geing in to a Committee. The restriction. at present, he ar gued, operated unjustly, it referred merely to the number of the advowsuns, without in the least con. :Lurin their respotive value. This part of an amelioration of the present system could but he'eon: sidered in a Committee, in favour of which proceed , ing, every thing advanced in organism, that slight, decidedly tended. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTII explained, that what he had said was, that there was no proof brolight forward of the succession being too slow. Lord AUCKLAND contended that where a grievance was alleged, it should be established in proof ; the case in the present instance was one of evidence and fad, an adequate proof ought to be given. The Bishop of LONDON argued in favour of the measure, and urged the consideration of such a Bill as the present in a Committee, as p.articulorly necessary. Adverting to the general state of co rochial establishments ; he lamented there were so few parish churches in the western parts of the me, tropolis. Most of the chapels of ease were pi ivete property, and afforded no accommodation for the lower orders of the people, and what was the con sequence ? these persons either went to no church at all, or were constrained to frequent places of wor s!lip different from those of the established religion. He trusted these matters would be seriously con sidered by the Legislature, and taken up at some future period, and also the consideration of the num ber of small and inadequate livings, and the im praaicability of clerical residence in many of these. The Bishop of ST. ASAPHcontendesi, :hat every thing that was advanced, were reasons for going into a Committee on the Bill; they were in posses. session of adequate information, in order to pro. teed with the WI ; and the Legislature, when it originally laid on the restriaion, seas rot informed, as his Noblti Friend opposite contended the House should have been, or the proportion of the numbers allotted would be very different; he had no fears of too rapid a successim ever taking place ; the Col leges had not the moms of affording an opportu nity for that ; but, he observe 4, that the patron age of the Universities was always honourably and beneficially exercised. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with a Noble Baron, who had spoken in the debate. that • the question before them was rather one e! geneial reasoning, then proceeding upon particular infor mation. The original rrstricsion did not appear founded on the stets ot the respative colleges, t r the pronottion would be very differ:- t. IS ad vancing this, he meant not the slightest ',fleet:en on the name of that great and venerable cite roaer who proposed it, whose .name verte'd be so notinbered as long its the law of Engleni continu to be known. That his position 'WAS well landed. would clearly appear on competing the allotted number allying., via. one halt ot that of the to. loses of colleges in the untversi7ies„ with the staisol number of persons in each cetisege caoaele of being so beneficed. Sonde of these (Toter ring, for example, to that se'ticit he had the ho. nour to belong) had the entire number of th:ir fellowt ecclesiastics, whereas others but Opt ho their number clerical men.
