If Caisiohcs were lint eligible to the highest offices the Shoe, the Noble Lord now at the head of the Treaooy .vas guilty of a premature. for he had not taken oaths :igamst transubstantiation, nor had rinalrfi,d himself more titan they had. He omitted to smiler the case of the Members of the Prove Council, yet even there he understood an hid custom prevailed of swearing Nlcinhers on a her •k. fr - un which the noise of " Our Most Gra cious Lady Vier.' Anne" was erased, for the pur pose of substirutiog that of Kong George. This iti itself seemed of little consequence, but it at 'ast pioved this, that all the oaths bring on the 'woo. table, the Mewbers took them all the time for enticement.... If what he had now urged was *offs, iroily intelligible, it would -appear that C.:401011es were prevented from holding office, and from silting w Parliament, by certain Acts, the Nano ..... of which was susproded front year to year by the 1410111.41 Indemnity Act, and by this means Catholics might, in fact, enjoy of. tier, and sit in Pailiontent.

Awl thus, said sir. Croker, it would tin elia&nrdly he competent for the Protestants to do. The Cathuhes were pll• down formerly, and why should they not, if necessiar, he put down again ?

Friend w a s motile of ;producing, it must base excited in n. small•degree the astonishment of the House. Ili% Hon. Friend had iloicovered, that the ermine'. patio', fur which the Roman Catholics were arcking for sixamial-twetsty years, had been ripen to their rojnyisient fur one hundred year's, during which prriod laileinnity Bills were annually passed; that tiny might have beets Chant...llin% Grumls, Ads mulls, and Dignitaries of Stair, and that they might even have sat in Parliament. But notwitlia 'tainting this positive assertion, he would take leave, as It lawyer. to differ from him its his conclusion. The Hon. M :ober then argued front the preamble of the iiidrusisity Act, that the question of Catholic. ld • (hoary MPS, to 'alit 11w (Mill Or liftCP, yet will* 1 .,, p .. !r t to n !Member of Parliament, lint six ttli wows were 'Mowed for reflection. The best an swer however, that could be given to the speech of his Hon. Friend was, dot so sittmentes on assem bly was then engaged in discussing this onsportsint question, not with more than professional acumen, bat no the broad grounds of policy. lie objected to going lino the U ttttt touter on several grounds : first, with retsrrsice to the state of Protestant feel ing in Cleat Belton', winch. he said, was strongly excited against the discussion of this question; second. with reference to the gemune feelings of the Protestants of Ireland, whirl) lie also coil tended were decidedly hostile to any concession. The feelings of the Protestants of Ireland on this point ourght to be collected from the North of behind only, fear there the population was princi pally Protestant, and the feelings, habits, and civi- Itzatiou of the people were far beyond what they were in the other parts of the country. This, he believed, arose from the effects of the Penal Code. hear, from the Opposition benches.) — No mato could e Irmo the Penal Code more than he did, and he firmly believed that it had barbs tried and devastated three-fourths of Ireland. its in furore hid tint brim felt in the North, and therefore tint part of the island had outstripped the rest its Improvement.—(Hear, hrar, hear.) — Ile 'bell Statval that Petitions, signed by several thousand Protestants, from the Protestant counties of Monaghan, Fermanagh, Cavan, Antrim, awl others, hail been presented, and many others might have been prepared, but for the unwillingness of the Gentlemen of those counties to excite the feel itigs of the people. He objected to the Committee for a third reason, founded on the feelings of the Roman Catholics themselves. All the Petitions presented from that body were studiously silent on he subject of safeguards. On this point the !louse had hail an instructive lesson from the con duct of the Catholics with regard to the Bill brought in in 1813. 'fiat Bill had been prepared by the ablest men on either side of the House, and had iticoritorated every security that could be devised ; bin the greater the talents and the integrity dis played un that occasion, the more manifest the dif ficulty of making such ;in arrangement as would please all parties. The Bill, in fact, satisfied none but the framers of it. Ile never saw a Protestant who approved of it ; and how did the Catholics re ceive it ? When the ntessure was known in Ireland, tneetisigs were held in every quarter of the island, the Bill was moversally declared to be a penal law, and the. Catholics expressed . their determination that they wawa prefer their present state. The clergy in particular, convened in regular synod, on.. sinuously &rioted that they could not acquiesce in that 11,11 " without incurring the guilt of seism, and that with the blessing of God, they would 'wner lay down their lives than submit to it." Such were their very words.—(ilea, hear.)— What state would ilie Legislature he in, if having granted every thing they could to the laity, they were then to ap prndeo the clergy and have their rifler ►ejected ?

They looked upon that measure as an emsluveinetit of their church. There wets, he thought, :t time when the question might have been settled ; twenty-six years ago, in the Irish Parliament, the subject might have been arranged ; hut the time was let pass away, he feared fur ever. The Right f lon. Gentleman, lie said, had stated, that it was forty years since the rigours of the Pella' Code were first Owed in Ireland. From that period to 1793, things remained ill the same sin's non. The Catholics then obtained the Elective Franchise, the power of serving on Grand J antes, sod other privileges. It was then stated by the Callao lice, thin these privileges would satisfy them, slid yet they afterwards pressed forward fresh claims.— The Catholics now look for eligibility ; the next step ;would be cussersion. It hail been said, that not our sixth part of the l'arliumeut would be composed of Catholics. But it would not he one-sixth—it would SHOO, as In the Irish :!!embers, amount to three. fourths. He opposed the present ;notion, there fore, In-cause the measure contemplated would bring the Chinch fatablislmn.nt into danger. He did not see loin the Catholics %vele to he conciliated, lie would 'kit argue from the expel wow- o f the Past. He would call the attention of the House to more recent times, alien an arrangement was Calltrlll plAtril, at which time the Catholic priests mid Bishops condemned the Veto as a degradation to their church.

The Catholic Quotation was last bight submitted to the House of Commons by Mr. GRATTAN, who moved that the House should resolve itself into a Committee, to take into consideration the laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic Subjects. This motion was seconded by Mr. CROKER, the Secretary to the Admiralty, who argued the question on a very bold and novel ground, and brought forward a mass of legal iolormatiou, to prove that, by the operation of the annual Indem nity Bill, which has been regularly pabsril ►n each succeeding Sessioo, the Legislature had, for the space of one hundred years, neutralized the laws affecting the Roman Catholics. The speakers on this question were unexpectedly few, and the debate dosed much sooner than was generally all— ticipated. The result, though not altogether such as we could have desired, may, however, in com parison with divisions in former Parliaments, he regarded as a triumph of good sense and of an enlightened policy; for the motion was negatived, in a house unusually crowded, by a majority of not more than Two !

The Noble Earl was acrotnlinined by Sir Hobert Wilson, and Colonel Bagwell by Mr. Jame - , Didy. It was agreed by the seconds to toss up for the first tire, which waa won by Mr. Daly ; and the principals having taken their station, that Gentle man gave the signal to ti. e, by throwing up his hat. Col. Bagwell tired aid missed. The Earl of Donoughniore missed tire iii tet.ru. Colonel Bagwell declined to take advantage of this en cuinstance, and culled on the Noble Lord to fire. The Earl of I)ononghmote very hand somely said it was impossible. Sir Hobert Wil. son added, the miss was decisive of a shot. This led to an attempt on the part of the seconds t o accommodate the business, which was attended with success, and the parties shook hands. The Earl of I)onoughmore expressed a hope that they should prove better neighbours, to which Col. Bagwell gave his cordial concurrence. The patties then left the ground, and returned to town. The quarrel, we understand, arose out of a political misunderstand ing in Ireland, connected, we believe, with the late election for the county of Tipperary, and revived here by Colonel Bagwell.
