The box of Government, which was also that of his Excellency, serpassed them all,being richly adorn ed with figures of Fame and Victory. Never was the Theatre of Sans- Carlos so early and NMI"- plekely crowded ; the pit was filled before five o'clock.

The Archbishop of York, the, BiOrops of Chi,. c.hester, Bangor, and Meath, theManini:, of Bath, the Earls of Mount Edgcuinhe, 'Chtirleville, and Stanhope, and Lords Wodehouse mid Gardner . , and a few other Peers, took the cI3LIIS, and their seats. . The ' Earl of (late Baron) trarewood attended in his robes and one of his Lordship's supporters, for the purpose of being . introduoed, with the usual formalities, puler his superior title ; but the hour (four o'clock) being too near fur the com pletion of the ceremony, it was unavoidably post poned: CATHOLIC CLAIMS. The Bishqp of CutCH ESTER presented a Pea; • tion .from the Clergy and Laity of Chichester, against the Roman Catholic Claims, which, being read, was ordered to lie on the table. The Bishop of CARLISLE preSented a PetitiOn of a similar; - nature, from the Pettit and Chapter' of Ely.—Drilered to lie on the table. Earl NEI.SON presented IL Petition to the same effect from the Archdeacons-of Norwich. Lord Hoi,LAtiv inquired whether it were from all the Arcinleacons of the Diocese of Norwich Earl Nig...3°N answered, it was from the Arch deacons of Norwich and Norfolk. The Petition was then,readi after Which • The Duke of NORFOLK rose to observe, that as he understood the wording of the Petition, it con tained an allegation, which was not founded in fact, inasmuch ,as it went •to state that the Ca- . tholics, by the existing laws, were allowed 'a s free a participation in the advantages and benefits of the State and Constitution as the Protestant Dis senters. That such was not 'the case was well known, for among other points, those Diisente,rs tVet a admissible to seats in Parlianient, whereaS, on the other hand, a considerable portion of the oaths ,required of Members, was expressly framed for tlie exclusion of Catholics frihn the *Le gislature. - • The Bishdp of NOIMICIV took occasion. to et• 7 ;. press his strong disapprobation o f t h e c onduct of the Established Clergy, in thus coming forward • and interfering on an occaSion, which was, more than any other, a consideration of State policy, Such a line - of conduct he did not think warranted, either by propriety or expediency. 'lie did not envy the preference given by a part of the Clergy of his own diocese, to the Noble and Reverend Earl, for presenting such a Petition. The ftev. Prelate added his opinion, that from time and cir cumstances, the ,nature of the question* to Which the Petition referred had been greatly changed,— Tbat none of those apprehensions with respect to their,Catholic fellow-subjects, which formerly ob tained, need be entertained at present ; and. he thought that a moderate and liberal line of conduct with -resptzt to 9„tent, particularly.. on the part of the clergy, was such as would be more wise, po litic, and proper in every respect. The Peiitio'n was ordered to lie on the table. The Bishop of SALISBURY presented a Petition to their Lordships from the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury, to a similar effect with the fore going. • Lord HoLLAND expressed his wish to be inform ed by the Rev. Prelate, of how many persons the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury coilisted, and what portion of themumber was necesiary to decide for the whole ? The Bishop of SALISBURY replied, the body in question consisted of seven, and that the decision of the majority preponderated. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table; as-Avere also Petitions to the like effect, presented byhisLordihip, from the Clergy of the C;onnty of Wilts, and the Archdeacon and Clergy of Berk shire. The 'ReVerend Prelate then presented another iletition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Simon. The Petition being read, The Duke of NontmLic rose to observe, that the Petitioners went to assert, Olathe Catholics were not altered in MI iota with respect to those tenets with which they formerly were charged. The Noble Duke seemed to allude to certain points of the alleged Papal powers—powers which, he said, were completely disclaimed by the Catholics of Ireland. He 'regretted that such ideas should be held forth by any respectable body of men to persons of common understandings, who limy bt; induced to font( their conclusions accordingly. Lord Hot,LAtin avowed his sentiments to the same effect, gild Sakt, the Petitioo appeared to Itimto impute, in direct and positive retails, tenet s which every Catholic in Ireiand disclaimed upon his Solemn oath. He particularly alluded to the su pposed infallibility' of the Pope, a dogma which those Catholics disclaimed, qua oatb, be fore their God, lie thought it necessary that'such misrepresentations on the subject should be car; The Petition ras Ordered to lie on the table, as was another, to the same effect, presented by the' Bishop of 'Salisbury, 'from the Dean and 'Chapter of Exeter. Lord Viscount SIDMOV7'IT presented a Petition of a similar tendency, from the Alayor and rough of Leeds, which being also read was or dared to lie on the table. 4. 1 01 INDIA QUE:NI , lON.
