The Petuiton wits signed by about lOU members of the several con gregations to which he alluded.

Thirty year, had now elapsed since an application of this kind was made iu the same manner from this most re-, spectable body. Early next Session be should call the attention of Parliament •to this subject. At presegt he should content hint-elf with moving that the Petition du lie on the table. THE ENGLISH CATHOLICS. Lord Ntlti OPT mid, that be would take the op portunity. is seconding tht• nslition. to allude to IV Petition upon a similar subject which he had fur some time had in Isis possess from the English Catholics. It hail been always hit opinion that ex clusion from eligibility to civil office, no account of mere °pigskins upon spiritual subjects, was so. anomaly in the euliglitaird limes iu which they lived, and a prilicislit too unfair aid too illiberal, to he tolerated in a free country.—(Hear.)—The, petition in los posse-warn he had already said, was. from that very large ,and highly respectable bod* of leis Majesty's subjects, the English a body than whom there did not rust a more re spectable or a more resilient cla•a. • To withhold the just claims they sought Irmo such a set of men was marked injosticr. The missals he had nut presented their Petition already, and that which now iufluenced him in decl • gto present it at this moment, was, that he coals, not expect to receive fur such a question that attention to which it was entitled, considering the immediate sad **Nit" important subject which now. to the exClusiSil•St every other, filled the public mind. His Petition, in itself of nu ordinary importance, could not yet be expeletra. iu the pieseut temper of affairs, to re. ceive that consideration which it required ; lie was therefore compelled to withhold it until a more fa vourable moment arrived for giving 41 that-effect which it ought to produce. The Petition of the English Catholics contained weighty reasons in sup port of its prayer ; it also contained an argurneot the roost conclusive lie had vet read, against the old doctrine of divided allegiance, so often urged against the Catholics, so often satisfactorily cosier*. dieted by them, and yet so miaccomitably reassert ed against them, but never before now (often as it had been, he repeated. witisfsciorily repelled) so conclusively and unanswerably refuted. to second ing the motion of his Hsu. Friend, he begged par don for this allusion to the Petition in his posses siois.—(llene, hear.) The Pelotas presented by Mr. Wm. Smith was then laid on the table, anal ordered to be printed.

He did slot think there wa►auy cause of Waage in the manner of coo ducting the contract. On the 6'h June ground had been insikesi its anticipation of that contract ; on the 7th July he had brought down a proposition to the House for providing Ile berracks, which was agreed to by a Committer. The Government were fulty warranted its concluding that the bargain was not objectionable to the Home. lie (Hoot conceive that there were tiny well-grounded reasons of coin plaint which could he urged against the measure. Lord NUGENT concurred with the opinion of his Hots. Foiesid. His objection was not to the porn cull'r measure, but to the system of Larracks .relly. which tended to interrupt whet Blackstone very properly called that circulation of feeling and opinion, and that cunnnuuinn of thought. and views upon subject* of common interest, which were tiefessery to the secure existence of a free smite. He was not ashamed of these old-fashioned lions because they were old-fashioned, because 'Miry were in declining repute in that House : they 'had been eutertained by wise men, whose profession of them was enough of itself to give loon confidence in their propriety; they were the opinions of Sir G. Saville and Sir W.

This could not lead to any good. A military government was not compatible with the *drainer of civilizetion. The military governments of Europe were crumbling around us; only one of tltym, the Turkish, had any principle of stability, and that arose front its having been able effectually to check the growth of civilizitson. Ili tiny other core military govern. melds mull he subservient to their troops ; he in. stauced the insolence of the Pisetorian bands its the decline of the Roman empire. Would not posterity be likely to ask how it came to parr, that in 1819 England found herself immersed in ruin and mu ftis' through almost all her ranks, her commerce 'massed, her %rico! ha thstreastd, her finances ruined? What would there be the answer, what cause would be assigoed ? Why that she had come gloriously out of a successful struggle, which was said to secure to her " indemnity for the past sod security fur the future !" Perhaps they would say, that the country was overrun with mastery; that it. face was covered with barracks, depicts, and maga. tines, because England wss utiable otherwise to curb the discontent which the sufferings and pries. tions itcflictvd eits her people. by dial glorious con test and victory, excited. He held in his hand a re. urn, which Iliad been made tom mounts of his, fur pro ducing accounts of allowances which had been made in the military. for services rendered in tpiellink riots, The Noble Secretary for the War Departiurot had assured him at the time, that those allowance's were paid its kind.

He would make no motion on the subject, as he knew that the spirit and temper of the times woulff nut Sidnitt tor - a -farther excitement.

The SPEAKU, before he put the question, re mioded the House of its forms. The Bill was fur reductug the duty no big tnalt. The proposition had originated in a former Coo 0000 ittee, before whom the Acts which imposed the ungsnal duty were laid, - hating hreis entered as read. A Resolution of that Committee had recommended a reduction of the ditty on bigg, but mot tin barley. A Bill to that effect hint bees) brought in. stud had gnus through all its stager till then, wlwu it wits 'twinned to go into Committee upon it. The doubt which stuck him is'as, whether the House could, upon the queatsen of the Barley Malt Duty, proem/ immediately with the saute measure as they were Omit tuadopt with respect to bigg melt, without ring through the same intermediate Coma. • Orr a short discussion upon tba point between Mi. liaiikes, Mr. J. P. Grant, the Speaker, and I Mr. Aimiterouthy, the instrection was withdrawn. Lord A.

There wan, betide-, on Scotch tile and beer a special tax is most of the towns in Scotland, isedeprostlent of thom laid on by the Right Honotorable Gentleman. If something were tint done, no large distiller in Sable land would be able to work front Scotch malt. Mr. DUNDAS said. that ihe Chancellor of the Ettchequrr was nut to blame for the delay of the proposed measure of rebel. At the "ante tier he admitted that Scotland ought to be put upssti.hee old footing with respect to the malt duty. awd be I t serf to use him utmost persuasion to iodises his Right Hon. Friend to restore the proportion of duly which had been kept up for a century past. Lord A. HAMILTON explained. The House then went into Committee. Sir J. MADJURIOANKS said that lie must oppose the Bill. He complained of the precipitancy with which it had been brought forward, while most of the Members interested were in Scotland. He thought it hard to extract us high a duty from the pourer country, Scotland, as from England. Hr generally supported Ministers, but lie would oppose them on this measure in every word.—(4 laugh.) Most people who vivited Scotland did them the Honour to acknowledge the superiority of their agri culture, and the Right Hon. Gentleman, in laying 011 the additional duty. had gives' us one reason why the Scotch malt was able to bear as heavy • duty as the English, the improved state of agri culture iii Scutlaud: hut was it ever before in the world offered to impose a heavier duty on any people, because they used more skill and industry than their neighbours ? He bed refused to present • petition against the Bill, because lie did not think at the time that the Right Hon. Gentleman was iu earnest in laying on the new duty ; lie did nut believe that lie would even persist in it. He point• ed out the effect *lnch heavy duties had in demi. wishing cousumption, and thereby impairing the resources of the revenue. Formerly claret was plentifully drank in Scotland. lit 179 it. a con siderable duty was imposed ou it, which luting gradually augmented, had at length produced the effect of preventing any consumption of it at all. Not a barrel in a year was imported into Scotland. John Home, the author of Douglas, had written— ‘r Hardy sad hold tbe Caledonia• atotyd. Cold was his n►•twn. and his claret Cued; ' Let hint 4ri•k port,' the haughty Statesman cried; He drank the fondue, bat his spirit died." But what said the Statesman now, when he was no longer able to taste port, nor even whiskey ? Let hint drink bets.; yet the prophecy of John Home had not beets fully realized, lie had drank the poi son, but the spirit had not/died. Witness seve►al proofs which the enemy had received of the con trary during the late war—(Lawghter.) Alter some further remarks the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received to morrow. THE DONAGHADEE HARBOUR BILL. Mr. KERR stated several objections to the third reading. He thought that the House ought to be as well assured of the propriety of the plan, and of the correctness of the estimates, as the Committee. lie strongly objected to the imposition of new port age duties to pay the expenses of ii. Mr. ARTHUR CHICHESTER said a few words. Mr. K ERR expl.tined. A Member, whose name we could not learn, spoke, but was out audible in the gallery. After which the third reading of the Bill was postponed till to-morrow. 'Elie Irish Spirits Intercourse Bill was ordered to be read u third time to-morrow. The House went into a Committee on an addi tional clause to the Scotch Distillery Bill ; after which the House resumed, and the Bill was read the third time slid passed.

General Mar, not observing the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secret,lry for Ireland iti his place. beggrd to ask the Right Hon.
