IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN7'. HOUSE OF LORDS, Tnasso.cr, Joss 13. Thrir Lordships met at fifteen minutes before four o'clock. BANKRUPT LAWS AMENDMENT BILLS. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that he had to present to their Lordships a Bill to amend the Bankrupt Laws, in certain cases of joint commis. stuns. The Noble and Learned Lord stated that the object of the Bill was, to enable the Court which he presided over to supersede a joint coin. mission, as far as it related to any one or more of the bankrupts, who, by his industry had been ena bled fully to pay hi. debts. without say prejudice to the certificate of the other bankrupts, or to the validity of the commission sgaiust them. He said that this Bill had origiosted iu Lis having been under the necessity of lamenting, that without the interference of Parliament he could not comply with such • reasonable request as to supersede ■ commission in these cases, where the person against whom it had i-sued had so faithfully discharged his duties to himself and to his creditors. The Noble and Learned Lind then presented the Bill; it was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. The LORDCHANCILLOR then stated that be had two other Bills to submit to the consideration of their Lordships for the amendment of the Bank rupt Laws. He had pledged himself at the con clusion of the last Session, when a Bill had been brought up from the other House of Parliament which appeared to him to require great considera tion, he had promised to prepare some Bill which might embrace such suggestions as might appear beneficial. He had hoped to have redeemed his pledge during the vacation in the last autumn, and to have presented the Bills at the sitting of Parliament, but the innumerable communications which had been made to him, containing some very valuable suggestions, retarded him. He trusted, however, that one of the two Bills might pass during the present Session; and the other, which related to very important metier, might be laid upon the table for the purpose of investigation during the recess, before it was taken into consi deration the next Season, the particulars of which he would detail on a future day. The Bill which he would present 011 Monday next, and move to be read a first time, was, first, to enable the Commis sioners of Bankrupts to compel the attendance of witnesses at the opening of the commission—se condly, to enable assignees to execute powers of attorney, and to compel bankrupts in certain cases to join to conveyances—thirdly, to prevent perjury in petitions in bankruptcy—fourthly, to enable a commission to be issued against part of a firm— fifthly, to enable assignees to use thee names of part ners in seeking the recovery of property of bankrupts, and to give allowances to-bankrupts, mind to give to the bankrupt the right to call upon a creditor who holds out against all the other creditors, toshew cause why his certificate should not be allowed. The Noble and Learned Earl observed, that this was not a prospective clause. but a retrospective one, to give relief in certain cases where the right seemed not to have been exercised according to the intro tido of the Legislature. The Noble and Lta►ued Lord then observed, that there were various reme dies which he of his own authority could supply, and had therefore prepared certain orders : the first; That brokers should be appointed by the Court of Chancery to take inventories of the bankrupt's property the instant the commission of bankruptcy was found ; 2d, To permit the remission of debts un der separate commissions ; and 3d, To enable mortgagees to come before the Commissioners, and to ascertain the amount of undivided dividends in the hands of the assignees. ROMAN CATHOLIC PEERS. The B i shop o f gireall presented — a Petition from the parish of St, Sidwell, in the County and City pf Exeter, prayipg that the Bill for allowing HOP TRADE. Sir E. KNATCHSULL presented a Petition from certain Hup-plaotersitiCanterbury, praying that the bath George 111. am Act parsed fur the purpose of regulating the murkier of hop bap, might not be repealed. The Petitioners elated that they urdenuoud a motion to that effect had becu made by the Honourable Member for Sussex. Mr. CURTEIS said, he bad intended to give notice of bis determinsiiun to proceed nu further in tho subject this Session. Mr. LUSHINGTON wished to give the Honourable Gen tleman notice, that whenever Le did bring forward Lis mo tion, be should give it his most decided opposition. Mr. BURRELL stated, that the hop-planters of Sussex were placed in a most motile situation io relation to the county of Kent. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that as the county of Kent had the good fortune to produce hops much superior to Sussex, it was only just that the public should be protected against deception. The Petition was ordered to be printed. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented a similar Petition from the western division of the county of Kent.—Ordered to be printed. THE LORD ADVOCATE. Mr. ABERCROMBY postponed from the 20th to the 25th his motion relative to the conoeuion of the Lord Advo cate wit► the press of Scotland. Lord BINNING suggested tie propriety of postponing lbe motion rata the Lord Advocate returned to London. Mr. ABERCROMBY raid, he was anxious to rousult the convenience of the Lord Advocate, but if be omitted the 45th be should not perhaps get another vacant day. He was induced to postpone this motion iu consequence of the trial of Mr. Stuart. AGRICULTURE. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIVZEZitidrew his motion on the subject of giving additional protection to agriculture. WINDOW TAX. The Irish Hearth aid WaldolV ... Tax Repeal Bill went through a Committee. The Report was ordered to be re ceived la►morrow. Mr. HUME moved for papers relative to the Irish Re cord Commiseion.—Ordered. Mr. COURTENAY gave notice of a motion fur leave to bring in • Bill to empower Magistrates 10 use she punish meat of hard labour is some cases of crime to which by the law it was mot at prmisot applicable. I LCH ESTER GAOL. Mr. PEEL suggested, that the motion on the paper rela. tive to this subject might be withdrawn, as the state of Detwiler gaol was referred to a Committee of the County Magistrates, who were , possessed of full powers to take all the circumstances into consideration, sod determine either on rebuilding the gaol or removing it to some more favour able situation in the county; upon all which they were to report in the next Sessinu of Parliament. Mr. Alderman WOOD thereupon consented to withdraw his motion. Mr. BROUGHAM pat a question, to know when the, would be able to lave the estimate of the numbers and es. pease, calculated at the maximum, of the new force of coo. stablea to be raised in Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN *as not prepared to say what nuenirer of the constables would be required fur the service. Mr. PLUNKETT said that the precise amount of tbe ea. penile could uut be estimated, the exercise of the force de pending on the discretion of the authorities iu Ireland. TITHES IN IRELAND. Mr. GOULBUaN rose to mike his motion pur suant to the notice he had given. He expressed at some length his sense of the numerous difficulties with which the subject was surrounded, and the more argent and important sense of duty which compelled him to take it in hand. It would be necessary for him to state the principles which had guided him in his review of it. In the first place, ft any who heard him had given ear to the wild and vi sionsry !injects lately set floating, or attacking the tithe property of the church, and applying it as • sacrifice to heal the present difficulties and troubles of Ireland—to all such persons he must for the present decline giving any immediate reply. Generally speaking, such projects must. be looked upon as violent injustice, which if adopted in one case, might become dangerous and destructive to every other kind of property. Nor were the consequences to be only dreaded in regard to the property of the church and the church it self; for the property of the church was ne cessary not only for the maintenance of the eccle siastical establistimeur, it was also one of the chief supports through its administration of the civil con stitution of the government under which they lived. To another class of persons, of more moderate hos tility to the tithe property, who looked for, and en deavoured to obtain some general and permanent commutation of the tithes in 'lreland, he would say that he had no such view in the measure he was now to submit ; though he (lid not pledge himself that no measure of commutation could be adopted, or tbat be might nut himself introduce one to the Wage at some other period. The difficulty 14y in getting sufficient informstion un a subject so extensive. to form even the bare outline of an am mo. If the plan of commutation were one Itu plying a full equiveleut for that which was taken. tf it were fumed under the scrupulous dictate of juetwe and right, and were to be silliogly ',tort a by the parties most interested. lie could see het u h. jectino to such a ineoure. But if dere were to be any thiog like a forcible surrender and aciimenites. while those who were connected with the church property were to be shut out from all participation in the judgment to be given upon it, then lie must oppose any such proposition as dangerous to loo ped), generally, wheresoever the demo might first corny. fie would now state die principle upon which lie hid founded the measure he was about to subMit. It was impossible fur the most cursory view pot to convince those who exarnitucl the sub ject, that the tithe property partook entirely ef the nature-of private property, with there advantages— that it was oldie oldest prescriptioli, sod the least objectionable to origin and in tenure. It was held by those who, whatever might be thought, or said, or written of them occasionally, must always hold a station of consequence in eascietyss being, of all clssses, possessed of national property, the most be oeficial io the date. The administration of their property was us useful in every view as that of any private property whatsoever. Instances might be cited where clergymen failtd in the high duties for the performance of which they held their pos sessions ; but the exceptions were nothiug against the general right and the general rule. There were duties which devolved on the proprie tors of the land by reason of - what they held ; but he should be sorry to disclaim their right, because in some cases the moral obli gations were ne g lected. fie would treat the sub ject as in the case of any other private property. Occasions might arise, however, which would re quire particular sacrifices. The protection of a great and common interest would sometimes de mand the compromise of a smaller one. The clergy had already, of their own free will, made this sacri fice in part. He claimed nothing at present fur the sanctity of the clerical function, and the supe rior influence of that character upon society, ex cept that these circumstances might not be turned against them. He abandoned all idea of compul sory interference. His measure was to be consider ed tallier as • remedy for present and pressing evils, than as a greataud compulsory change in property. One good effect of it would be, if adopted, that it would be as secure • remedy as could be derived from a measure more objectionable. If he proved that it was of such a nature that those most interested would be the readiest to adopt, he thought he might hope for the favour and apprubaliou of the Honer. Thee was one general and permanent abuse in the present mode of administering tithe prOperty in Ireland. Much of the r vil was attributed eu the tithes thernselvee which did not belong to them; part of which urose out of the nature of the Irish tenures—part from the effixte of old institutions— part from the habits and customs of the inhabitants. He did not wish to impute any design of invading the tithe property to the landed gentry of Ireland. He thought the safety and tranquillity of the country depended upon the ninon of the clergy and gentry, and he could not easily excuse himself if any word of his should sow &sedition between them. But there were c;rcumstances attaching to the collection of tithes in ',Amid which were nut found elsewhere. In the mode of collection doubtless there was much that required niuditica thin. At the same time he must declare that the clergy were exedaplary for their forbearance and lenity in collecting them. Indeed to that fort/warier and lenity were to below &eel, in some measure, the necessary severities with which the tithes were ultr nudely gathered in. He denied, from the Ws; ex amination of the subject, that the Irish clergy were ever rigorous in the exaction of tithes; whatever exceptional deviations from the rule might be cited. they took much less than they were entitled to re ceive. If the individuals who paid the tithes had not all the advantages of that lenity and forbearance. it wits owing to the interference of intermediate agents. Were there no difference between the diffi culties of collecting tithes in England and Ire land, he could never have brought forward this or any other motion of the same tendency. First and foremost among his reasons for the measure I he had to submit was the uncertainty of the amount of payinenf: - There was a general evil applicable to both countries, and was a favourite point with the writers who questioned the validity of the property in tithe. ; but it became much worse in Ireland through particular circum stances. He meant us unkind imputation, but, besides the great arnounelof rents ranted. • diffi culty arose from the eery virtue and stuiplicite of the people, o Inch made them unobservirig 1.1 the consequences of their orret conduct; they titled makin g that provision -for the payment of tith es which a people of, 'sore cautious deportment would supply. Another evil in Irish tithes was. that the incumbent was driven to the necessity of receiving the greatest part of los dues from the motet indigent persons in the community. In England tithes were drawn from • class of superior import. once. and some capital was required to engage its agrteulture, which was always security for the tithes. Its the accounts of Irish livings, he had found WC in the county or Kerry where the incumbent en joyed 4801. a year ; the persons paying tallies to wards this income were in number 1,960. This was no picked case—there were hundred, like it. But there was nut only the poverty of the parties.. and the faulty means of collecting to be struggled with. The improvident habits orthi people. autl the mode of renting, so little suited to pelvic of ruch habits, were other obstacles. The land Was let by competition and -there were none of diode checks to the demands of the landlord which operated in England, and the tenant, content with hewing paid his rent, t hou g ht no more of providing for the payment or tithes. It might be said, that it was the duty of the clergyman to remit that part of OPERA.HOLSLI. MR. KELLY'S ANNUA .BENEFIT.
