Mozart's favourite Opera of NOZZE DI FIGAIto. 081 account of the triplitnehing E,iglidt Opern SC3$Oll, winch will commence early in June, the next will be the LAST FORTNIGHT a disqualified indiviiin do rout- d osed 6,r-fifths of the loll:dooms in one part of li e Uiiiruil Kingdom, which from its populabost mid restillree‘. moat lw re gerded as a must important part of the Empire, and one-fourth of the whole potilatiou of the United Kingdom. l'hey were disqua p lified because they pre served the faith of their father., and cosiscientinusly held communion with the Church of Rome. That this was the sole cause of dioqualiticatiou, no person now affected to deny ; but notwithstanding this, notwithstanding this universal acquiescence, there were still spread oil the Statute Book imputations of the most injurious and revolting nature ; impu tations of principles not only anti-social, but atai clamant. Motives were imputed to the Roman Catholics which involved the stipposition that those of that communion did not furl themselves boom' by oaths, and that they conceived it to be their duty to subvert every motit utimi which was not founded upon their own religion and its tenets. If it were possible that such charges could be made by any man of sober understanding, it would he refuted by the experience of time, but more parti cularly by the experience of the last thirty year., in which Catholic. had proved themselves influ enced no less than other men by a sincere attach ment to their country and its government, un niflueuced to the direct course of their dilly by the dogmas of speculative theology or ocknow.. ledgiug soy spiritual or ecclesiastical authority, which could in any degree militate against their temporal allegiance. But who in the present age could attribute anti-social or antiochristian principles to the Roman Catholics ? Not their ontsgonists in the other House of Parliament, for if he might be permitted to allude to the speech of' a Right Honourable Gentleman (we presume Mr. Peel), a Member t hat of .louse, which was now in the hands of the public, he could shew from it, that the enemies of the . Roman Catho lics in that House had disclaimed the supposition, that such principles necessarily belonged to their communion ; and by that Right Hon. Gentleman, as well as by the Noble Lord at the head of Isis Majesty's Government, the only objection now urged was, the acknowledgment on the part of the Catholics of a foreign juriodietimi. Their Lordships might thus observe how extremely the position of the argumetits on the Catholic (pies tiou was changed. All anti-social and other ab surd principles, long since disclaimed by the Catholic. themselves, were even now given up by their atitegraiists—and yet they were still deemed to he unworthy of confidence, because they 10-Id the doctrine of transubstantiation and admitted an arguable supremacy. The Noble Lord then adverted to the oath of supremacy and abjuration, and asked, what objection there could be to strike nut of the former those parts that went merely to insult a set of men whose services were acknowledged, which imputed to them sentiments they disclaimed, and opinions they never entertain ed ? Or why should this unfortunate, calumniated set of men, find their moral conduct and their tide lay impeached at the very moment that they were giving the most satisfactory proofs of their being actuated by the most noble and exalting impulse ? —(Hear.)—lie also would ask, what was the advantage in the present age of abjuring is family (the Stuarts), of which not one member was in ex istence, at least for any purposes injurious to the repose of this country ? (Ilene. )—What use could be derived or expected from forcing an un necess try an oath on the consciences of men ? It would, perhaps, be unnecessary for him, after the testimony given to his sentiments on this subject by the unvarying course of his parliamentary life, to close whatever observations he should now make to their Lordships, by expressing his conacientious belief that the Catholics had not only a right to share ill all the advantages offered by the British Constitution to every elate of persons who had the happiness to be burn under its pro tectiott, but that they had by an unsullied course of loyalty and good service., well deserved every favour and distinction. What argument could now he advanced against them he did not ineau to anticipate, but it seemed to him a much greater difficulty to discover arguments against the exten sion of the privileges of the Constitution, than why thry should be granted to all persons without prejudice or partiality. This was the common right of all, and nit the other aide remained the duty of shewing why this right should be restricted. Here he should rest this case, fur he did not feel himself sufficiently well to cuter at length into the details of the question. He should therefore con elude by moving the Resolution with which he commenced his speech. —( Hear, hear. hear.) The Bishop of WoftcEsTga began his speech by complaining of a notion which he said was very ge nerally entertained, that every profesoinit of the Church of England must of necessity be hostile to the Roman Catholics. Nothing conkd he more unfounded. Those also who supposed that he, as a Protestant Minister, entertained any doubts of the mural principles inculcated by the Catholic Church, must he equally ignorant of the faith of both. Their flab was the saner, 4101 li. never sew any man raferiog with sincerity his iorayers to the great Author of Ins being, without furling au ud mirruom which um partial diversity of opinion out re ligious topics could diminish. But the object of the Noble Earl's motion had no reference to reli gious considerations, its object was solely to grant the Catholics an increase of political power. Doubt less all who felt themselves aggrieved by the lows as they existed were entitled to pray far their re peal, but that repeal must rest on the discretion of Parliament. Bust how were the Roinan Catholics aggrieved, how were they oppressed ? Did the ex isting laws litnit the freedom of their religious wor ship, or suffer others to molest them ? Within the last two years the application of those laws was cone siderably mitigated, and now Roman Catholics may reach the highest offices in the array and navy of this empire. The Learned Prelate then referred to the Test Acts, which, he trusted would be ten. drily and spiriugly enforced until some severe emergency arose to warrant a departure iro m a course of lenity. When arguments of right had failed, recourse was had to declamation, and ap peals were made to liberality, justice, arm est.& Iv, in favour of the claims of the Catholics. Can/hoer was no doubt a very lovely quality, but when forced into action by the tarring 'merest' of society, it was uniformly regulated in it* apolieatiou by era. rat). The contending parties in this ease were the Catholics and the Constitution, and if he thought concessions to the former brought 11 , 0 (114110: , 21' to :he latter, he should find no difficulty iii acceding to their wishes. The advocates of the Catholic* hail also referred to the authority of former earlier.; hut sin writer, however eminent, was totitled to 'encore. ditiimal submission. There were undoubtedly ge neral principles, both moral read ;multi -al. to *lllOl respect was eminently due, hut tlei. sulerriss . sees regulated by principles of political exist-theory, which were paramount to every other consideration. The Learned Prelate then alluded to the senti ments of Mr. Locke, in his first letter on itelera. tint), and argued even from them, that '. they who were not tolerant to others ought out to expect indulgence from others." He olniterverl, that those in office ought always to be of the relig no of the State, esoecially because they were more likely to he a ell served. This should have par. irtu la r influence iii this country, becaose the Protestant religion formed Po considerable. a part of the Cot. stitutton. Nothing could be more dangerous than to put those who were indifferent or hostile to the: established religion, in power. Beat iii any thing which had fallen front him, he begged to be understood us not meaning iii the remotest degree, to throw any censure tit ) those ale e •oproite I the present motion. If es :I •111.101 Catholic, of hig:s eionour and unsullied integriti, *ere to disclaim all temporal power in the Pope, lie should rejtoire b. it; but lie did not place much faith in georral dis claimers, when made by a large h o er of the pro. pie. It war, however, rxtrettiely difficult to disc tillgt111•11 between civil and reliolons onwer. when either was claimed by one 111 whom high re street gems given. He feared, if further colect-s-i en. were made to the Catholics, it would iiirrease tise:r Ur:• cation, and lead them, step by step, so desire the ultimate supremacy of their church. Ile coon:did 'Tweeted Earl Talbot, the present Loll Lieuteterist of Ireland, and requested the Douse to consider, if. under the ni:Ill told lee in -y o t ru t ru l e of 111 4 1 N u . bleman, the Catholics of Ireland were admitted to the eiojorunetit of every advantage of the Constitet tion—if they were received with favour at the Cooda. tle of Dublin, and recommended to the Crown as worthy of trust and coalidetice—u‘hat woiell be more li•iterral than that they should cut• stain serail ments such as these f—" Tbe Legislature has given iis not only the elective franchise-, beet the 1 ri g ht of sharing in its proceedings; it ha. l i i k ri , care of the education of our vontli, by inoteeficont grants to the College of Maytiooth ; it bus reit dr:red us eli.y, ble to places of trust and power, has opened the army meet navy, airl the !remorse* of civil life, to our enterprise anti star arntntimi ; and on what ground how eaer it refuse the esta blishment of our church ?"—(hear, hear.f— Human nature most be different in them from what it has ever been in other individual., if ouch were not the result of conceding to their !present d e . mends, and for these reasons lie should vole against the inertion.—(l-dear, hear.) The Bishop of - Norma:li said, he wri.o3.yierd'lne no one in attachment to the Choreal or' E: I I 4:410_, although it was his misfortune to of 1 tbir hour turily of his Learned Brethien with le t; arei to iii, t effectual means of securing that veacialeie fabric. This object, lie thought, could never lie promoted by exciting in the public 'Mod a cause of :heart ii ritation, and with this feeling he could not puss flees potent opportunity of bearlog his lioluilde but tie. cided testimony, as 11 Nlinister of the Church of England, against revivieg the sposelese clamour that the chords eves endangered by conceding to the Claims of the Roman Catholies for admission to allure in civil power. He protested eistailest the supposition that the Church of England cools) be endangered by regulatehig her ceneelort according to the leading principle of Christieinit t , .. that we should do unto men even as we model that they 011004 do unto us."—(Alenr, hrro , heur.)— The venerable constitution of the clot. eh co u ld be best supported by au extension or Irroael and liberal priticiples, not by being futiceel ree itu e', as formerly, by test and co-poration oaths, but te l . depending 1111 the Komi will of the 'ovoid,: :iiiil the general harmony of all rank- mid cl.tiovb 4.1 tl,e cuoinmuoity.

With this, or some similar snide_ tine, lie doubted nut the oath would he taken by all Catholics. He remarked, that the Itomais Cie. tholics of this country were oppressed by the Te.et Acts with greater partiality and severity than Ines. other Non-conformists to the Church of Englitied j and it was manifest that this oppression diel not Hilo.: solely on account of their not taking the Oath e I' Supremacy.

In consequence of the order for postponing all judicial litimuess uunl Wednesday. the House was not opened before five o'clock. The crowd drawn together by the anxiety to Intro the fate of the Claims, or to hear the arguments by wlrtoi l it Was to he decide.l, was unusually great, and the pressure et the moment of entrance pro portiowahly severe. To oration.) , visitors this was, perhaps, a matter of hale consequence, bust to the Gentlemen who usually attend to report the proceeds in the Haase, it was attended with very considerable inconvenience. No priority of entrance or other advantage was given to them, and the severe and mullion+ duty of col lecting the speeches of the Members—difficult under every circumstance—was rendered more dis tressing by being hustled in a crowd, end driven' to the remotest extremity of the House, where, from the incessant noise and confusion, it was not always easy to catch even the sound of the speaker's voice. The Duke of Kent, Lord Herborough, Lord Forbes, and the new Bishop of Peterborough (late Bishop of Llandati), took the oaths and their seats. Several Petitions were presented from various places, some in favour, and others hostile to the Calls°Le CI; . BANK OF ENGLAND. The Earl tat H•mauwaY laid on •the table his promised Resolutions rel.itive to the resumption of Cash Payments by the Batik of England. They were read by the Clerk, and were merely •flirtnii tory of the prniciples laid down in the Report of the Lords Committees, in substance its follows : That it is expedient that the restriction on Cub Payments shall be further continued, on such conditions as Parlia ment may think fit to adopt, so as to insure an effectual and crime return to a metallic currency. That it is expedient that from and after a period to tee prescribed by Parliament, and for so long a lime as Parlia ment may think fit, the Bank shall issue in payment for cer tain fionniities of its notes, bars of gold, assayed mud stampt, at the rate of 81s. an ounce. That it is expedient, from and after a further period to be determined by Parliament, that the Bank shall issue in pay ment of its notes, bus of gold, to a certain amount, at a price between fits. and the Mint price; ■nd that in all eases whenever the price of gold so issued shall be lowered by the Bank, it shall not be lawful for the Bank again to raise it. That it is expedient at the estimation of a period to be de. termined by Parliament, the Bank shall, in payment fur its notes, issue bars of gold, &c. at the rate of 3/. 17s. 101 d. or gold coinage, as to Parliaineot shall seem fit. That it is expedient that all laws preventing s h e exporta tion of gold and silver bullion, or coin, be repealed. Out Friday these Resolutions will be taken into the consideration of the House. RO WA N CATHOLICS. The Order of the Day fur taking into consider ation the Petitions relative to the laws affecting his 513jesty's Roman Catholic subjects, being read— The Earl of Dumont:minim rose and said, that calling their Lordships' uttention to the Petitions now on the table relative to the imnortant subject of the state of the laws affecting the Roman Catho lics, he should not occupy much of their time. The state of his health would not permit him to enter minutely its the details of the question, with which doubtless their Lordships must be already sufficiently acquainted. The Resolution which he should humbly rubinit to the (louse would oe to this effect : " That they should resolve themselves into a Committee to consider of the Inws which required every person to take certain friths previous to his admission into °thee, su far as the same pariicularly •Ifected his Majesty's R oman C at h o li c subjects, and to ascertaiu ham far they may he altered and modified." It was stnpostihle to conceive a suhject that more earnestly retitairril their m7tioa4 coieitleration.
