So much for the sentiments of the people of Scotland, in reference to which he should take Dr. Chalmer's opinion in preference to that of his Hon. Friend the Member for Oxford. As little could he believe that the majority of the Protestant Dissenters in this country was opposed to the Catholics . . The Hon. Member had alluded to the propriety of snaking no further grants for the support of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth ; and he was not much inclined to disagree in opinion with his Hon. Friend upon that point. If a strong opinion were to be expressed by the people of this coon try that it was not right to make a provision for the main tenance of that seminary, he, fur one, would feel disposed to yield to it. The petitions, which were 39 in number, and carne from various places in England and Scotland, were brought up, read, and ordered to be printed. Petitions in favour of the Roman Catholic claims were presented by Mr. W. HORTON from Tutbury and Rolston, Staffordshire.—Ordered to be printed. Sir E. HARVEY having presented petitions from two parishes in Essex against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, The Earl of BELFAST took occasion to complain of an overstatement made by the Right Hon. Secretary oppo site, when presenting a petition last night from Belfast --an overstatement that related to the amount of property pos sessed by indivduals in that place who were favourable to the Catholic claims. A similar representation was made two years ago, by the Hon. Member for Armagh, when presenting a petition lions the same town. Mr. BROWNLOW perfectly recollected that he had presented a petition two years ago from Belfast, in favour of concession, and that he had thought it his duty at that time to state to the House that the petition was signed by persons possessed of property to the auiount of not less than 5,000,0001. sterling. When the petition was sent to him, it was accompanied by a letter from one of the most respectable merchants (he might say) not only in Belfast, but in Ireland, who assured him in this commu nication, that after the closest investigation into the , 'petition, it circumstances of the person s s i gn i ng tne petition, ap peared they were actually possessed of property to the amount stated. He was happy to hear that the Right Hon. Secretary had last night presented another petition on the subject of concession, fiom the inhabitants of Belfast, who had always shown themselves the liberal advocates of the cause of their Roman Catholic brethren. He was happy to hear that a feeling in favouref the adjustment of this question was fast spreading in the province of Ulster : and that which bad been the petition of individuals pos sessing 5,000,0001. of property was merged in the general assent of the great trading and commercial body in Ireland —of a body possessing property, not merely amounting to 5,000,000/., but to 70,000,0001.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. BELL presented four petitions from parishes in Newcastle, in the county of Northumberland, against fur ther concessions to the Roman Catholics; upon which point lie said the majority of the people in that part of the country was agreed, BREAD, Tolls Afajosty's Land Forces in Cantonsuents, Quarters, and Barraehe. in the under-mentioned Counties and Islands : tedford Berke (►ncluding the Town of HUngerford) Ducks LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1829.

Lord ELDON presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenting Ministers about London and Westminster, praying the House to grant no further concessions to the Catholics. The petition was signed by 94 persons, who were satisfied with the law as it now stood, and who were not parties in petitioning their Lordships last year for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, believing as they `did that 'the repeal of those Acts would open the door to Popery. They also deprecated the conduct of some Pro testant Dissenting Ministers who had joined with Catholics in petitioning for Emancipation. Hebelieved there were some Unitarian Ministers who had petitioned 'the House, who were something like briefless lawyers, without congrega tions. The Noble Lord then presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters in Manchester, the presbytery of ,Lora, the farmers and owners of ground in Kilmarnock, and from a great variety of other places in England and Scotland, all against emancipation. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented three petitions from places in Ireland, praying for emancipation. The Noble Lord, after stating that he should not hereafter feel himself bound to refrain from delivering his sentiments .on presenting petitions, moved for a return of the num 'her of Meholders resident in each county in Ireland, dis •tipguishing - those of 40s. frOm those of 20/. and a-- Ordered.

James Kenworthy and John Bladworthy Kenworthy,' Ironmonger-lane, London, warehousernen, April 7, at ten, at the Court of Commissioners. had never heard, but he affirmed beyond all fear of contra diction, that the assembly of Dissenting Ministers was recognized as a public body, and that these petitioners might have joined them if they pleased. They had not done so, and therefore he affirmed that be had a right to consider the petition which he had presented as the regular act of the Protestant Dissenting ministers of London. Lord MANDEVILLE made some observations, which did not reach the gallery. We understood him to say that if the Hon. Member fur Norwich were right in the faith which he professed, the Church of England, and the Inde pendents, and the Baptists, were all idolaters.—(Cries of " No, no.")—lt was impossible for any persons who held such sentiments to unite cordially with the great mass of Protestant Dissenters. Mr. TRANT had heard with great surprise, and not without some indignation; an assertion which had been repeatedly made in that House, that the great mass of Pro testant Dissenters were favourable to emancipation. Now, as to the Dissenters, he would say that all sects of them, except the Unitarians,—(hear, hear,)—were opposed to this measure for breaking in upon the Constitution of 1688. Yes, Jews, Quakers, Baptists, and Methodists, were all unanimous in opposing further concessions ; and he had that morning received a letter from a Protestant Dissenting Minister, who was one of his constituents, couched in the very strongest terms against these' claims. The secret of the Society of Which the Hon. Member for Norwich had spoken, and of:which he believed him to he the head, was this—that Unitarian influence had of late years obtained the upper hand there. The other Dissen ters were in such a predicament, that they were afraid of the influence of that mischievous—(Loud cries of " Hear") --yes, of that mischievous and not Christian sect.—(Loud cries of " Hear," and " No, no.")—That mischievous and unchristian sect had obtained, he repeated, by their activity and their arts, a dominance in that society which he trusted that it would not long maintain. Mr. W. SMITH would not say one harsh word respect ing the conduct of his opponents—he would merely call upon the House to mark the difference of the spirit by which the partisans of the two causes had been actuated. He had not given the slightest preference to one sect above another ; and even the Dissenters from whom this petition had come, must, if they had been present, have admitted that he had not uttered one imputation against them which could have created in their bosoms the slightest pain. The Hon. Member for Dover, on the contrary, had got up to make a speech upon a subject of which he knew nothing --(hear, hear)—had ventured to speak about matters . . .

The Bishop of CHESTER presented a petition from the clergy of Liverpool. The petitioners lamented the exigency of the present time, which called for an alteration of the law of the land, at the same time they were desirous that those of their fellow-subjects who professed the Roman Catholic faith might be admitted to their civil rights, on taking an oath which might be deemed necessary for the security of the Protestant ascendancy, and making a decla tion that they would not at any time make any endeavour to cause the said oath to be dispensed with. The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition from the clergy of Monmouth, in the diocese of Llandaff. He was happy to say that there was not a word in the petition calculated to excite religious animosity. The petitioners merely implored their Lordships to preserve inviolate the Protestant Constitution of this country, and he would subscribe to the same prayer, though in a different sense from the petitioners. _ _ S.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat a few minutes before Five o'clock, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY pre ted a peti tion from a parish in Stiriingshire, again, further con cessions. The Earl of-TANKERVILLE presented a petition from Wallingford,-iniavour of Emancipation. The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented a petition from the Protestants of St. Katharine's, Dublin,—from the Protestant Dissenters of Burton - upon - Trent, —from Kingborne Minster, and Wexford, against the Sub letting and the Vestry Acts. His Lordship also pre sented twenty-six petitions from different parts of Ireland, praying for the removal of Catholic disabilities. Sir T. ACKL AND and others brought up three v pri vate road bills. The Archbishop, of ARMAGH had several petitions to present--:one of them was from the diOcese of Armagh, with the sentiments of which the Right Reverend Prelate entirely concurred. After what had been passing in Ireland, the petitioners eutre•ited their Lordships, before they annulled the laws now existing, which were necessary as safeguards for the Protestant Church, well to consider the measure. The Right Rev. Prelate then presented a petition from the Very Rev. the Dean and Chapter of Littlo St. Patrick's, Dublin, to the same effect. The Duke of ATHOL presented a petition from the procurators practising before the Courts of Law in Perth shire, praying for the re.noval of Catholic disabilities. The Earl of HAREWOOD presented petitions from Barnsley, Milltown, Clifton, Marston, Shipton, Sutton, and Tadcaster, and various other places, against eman cipation. The Noble Lord thought it right that he should state what his views of the measure proposed were. Ever since the measure had been propounded to Parliament, he had felt himself convinced it was not proper to grant the Catholics what they required. He was still of that opinion, .and if he had not been of that opi nion, he should have felt himself fully justified in being so, from the very nature of the measure pro posed. What was that measure ? It was a Bill to place Catholics in the two Houses of Parliament ; and yet, such was the Catholic religion as known and practised in this country, that a clause was introduced into the same Bill to expel from the kingdom certain parties who belonged to that religion. If this provision were necessary, why was be called upon to place in a situation of power persons who would then have an opportunity of reversing that part of the law which it was now, considered necessary to pass for our se curity ? It was in his recollection that some years ago, when it was first proposed to provide for the College of Maynooth, and other establishments of a similar nature, out of the public money, those who opposed that proposal were called " illiberals," and other hard names, because they thought that those institutions would not turn out to the advantage of the country. What had been the result ? It was now proposed to make a law to controul, and ulti ' mately expel, the parties who had established those institu tions. The objection he had already stated would alone be sufficient to induce him to vote against the measure; but he confessed that when he considered the opportunity that had been taken for bringing forward the Cabinet measure, he considered the measure almost unimportant in the light of a measure of Emancipation, compared with the effect it would produce, as being a precedent of concession to threat ened rebellion. He could not view the matter in any other light. He felt a high respect for the existing Government, and was sorry tkat any thing should compel him to differ from it, but he could not in his conscience go to the extent of giving up what he conceived to be the best part of the liberties of this country.—(Hear.) Lord FARNHAM had a petition from the principal magistrates, merchants, professors of the universities, and respectable inhabitants of Glasgow, amounting to no less than 36,796, which petition had been got up since his Ma jesty's speech from the Throne. The petitioners were con vinced, as the Noble Lord was, that such a measure as the one now proposed was in direct violation of the Act of Union between England and Scotland, in the reign of Queen Anne ; no persons were more tenacious of their re ligious privileges than the Scotch, and if they were satis fied that this was a Violation of the compact between Eng land and Scotland, and that they were to have Popery forced upon them, it was not to be expected that they would tamely submit to it. The Noble Lord then desired the petition to be read. Lord ROSEBERY, though he did not wish to follow the example of some Noble Lords, yet could not hear the statements of this petition, introduced as it had been by the Noble Lord, without saying when the proper time came if no other individual better qualified than himself stepped forward for the purpose, he would undertake to prove that the measure now propounded was not calculated to prejudice the fundamental articles of the Treaty of Union with Scotland in the slightest degree. If it had any influence in impairing those fundamental articles, he should certainly not give it his support.—(Hear, hear.) — He should be able to prove to the House, as he had been able to satisfy his own mind, that it had no effect. Lord FARNHAM presented petitions from seceders in the county of. Armagh, signed by 4,400 ; from the Pres byterian Minister, Elders, and congregation in the county of Armagh, and from other Dissenting congregations in this county, as well as in Ireland, all against further Con cessions. _ Lord SEAFORD presented a p et i t i on from Hastings, praying for the removal of Catholic disabilities. Lord SHEFFIELD presented eight petitions from places in Sussex against further concessions. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition to the same effect from a parish in Sussex. The I~larquis Of SLIGO presented a petition from MUTINY BILL. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved, that the House resolve itself into a committee upon the Mutiny Bill. The Noble Duke then explained the nature of the different al. terations which had been made in the Bill in the House of Commons. In the first place, the clauses of the Bill had been reduced from 163 to 77, thereby causing a more perfect arrangement and clearness in the Bill. Another alteration was the enabling of general commanders to order district courts-martial instead of general regiMental courts martial. The same oath was also prescribed by the Bill to be taken by the members of all courts-martial, whether regimental or district. Another important alteration was the allowing evidence to be received against a deserter of former acts of desertion. The Bill then went through a committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Thursday next.—Adjotnned to Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) This being the night appointed for the second reading of the-Bill for the Relief of the Catholics the doors were opened at an early hour, and the gallery was packed full at Two o'clock. Nearly all the prominent seats in the House had been engaged by notices, written by Members, and the SPEAKER took his seat at Four o'clock. Mr. ESTCOURT, jun., took his oaths and seat for the borough of Marlborough. Lord NUGENT presented a petition from the town of Aylesbury, in favour of concession. lie said that he should always vote on this subject conscientiously, without refer rence to the opinion of his constituents, and do that which he felt was his duty. The Noble Lord also presented simi lar petitions from Ashton-under-line, and two others from parishes in Oxford. Mr. R. SMITH presented similar petitions from Fenny Stratford, and two other places. The Marquis of CHANDOS remarked, that in Ayles bury the counter-petition had been signed by 333 out of 400 voters of that town. Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from Maldon, in favour of the Catholic claims. He was autho rised to state that it contained the unbiassed expression of the strong and genuine feelings of those who had signed. No solicitation, no influence of any sort had been used to obtain signatures to it. He might say that the friends of the measure before the House, both in Maldon and the county of Essex, had entirely abstained from making any exertions in favour of it. Petitions in abundance they might have had, if they had desired it. But they were content to leave the measure in the hands of the Govern ment. Sir E. lIARVEY said that there could be no doubt that the opinion of the great body of the county was against concession. Mr. DICK corroborated this statement. Mr. WESTERN believed that the feeling of the majo rity in the county, whether for concession or not, was that the measures now before the House should be left to the uninterrupted sense of the Legislature. This was the feel ing not only of the higher and more intelligent portion of the county, but he believed also of the yeomanry and trad ing classes. He had two petitions from parts of the county to present in favour of it, and he regretted that be had even these two, and that the parties did not follow the example of the others who were in favour of it in the county, and leave the matter to the sense of the Legislature. He would not then enter into the question, but merely ob serve, that having sat in that House nearly 40 years, he had never given a vote with greater pleasure than that which he should give this night in favour of the measure before the House, which lie firmly believed would have the effect of effacing from our statute-book those penal laws which were so long a disgrace to them.—( Hear, bear.) After a few words from Sir GEORGE liENRI SMYTH, Mr. BICKFORD rose to express his regret that he had not been in the House when his Noble Colleague presented the petition fiom Aylesbury. He was sure that that pe titiou had not been confined to the hundred oh Aylesbury. There were not 40 Aylesbury names to it. The proper title to the petition would have been—" The petition of us whose names are undersigned." What the feeling of that neighbourhood was, might be ascertained from the fact that he had presented a petition from the householders of Aylesbury, signed by 680 persons. Sir J. BRYDGES denied that the Brunswick clubs had used any unfair means to secure signatures to obtain petitions.—The p e titi on was t h en b roug h t up an d en t ere d to be printed. Lord MANDEVILLE rose to present several petitions against Catholic emancipation. One of the petitions came from the Protestant Dissenters of London and its vicinity, and had been rendered necessary by a petition presented on a former evening, and which purported to speak the sen timents of a majority of the Protestant Dissenters of Lon don. The petition which he had to present was signed by 91 dissenting ministers, of whom nearly all presided over large congregations. He mentioned this to prove that the majority of the Dissenters were not in favour of emanci pation. Mr. W. SMITH, in answer to the observations just made by the Noble Lord, begged leave to say, that from his own persbnal knowledge,—and that not a knowledge of yesterday, but of 40 years' standing,—he knew that there was a regular assembly of the Protestant Dissenting ministers of London and its vicinity, which had long been recognized as the representative of the Dissenting ministers, of various denomin a ti ons i n t h e ne i g bb onr hood of the metropolis. He meant to say distinctly, that the petition which he had presented emanated fioin'a regular assembly of such ministers convened in the common and ordinary wa y,—that such assembly was the representative, not merely of the sentiments of the Unitarians, but also of the sentiments of the Independents, the Presbyterians; itnd the Baptists, and that it was a recognized iwdy of very long and very old standing. There might be persons calling themselves Dissenting ministers in J,oncloo i of whom he which he could not understand—and had indulged in im putations which neither liberality nor truth could possibly justi y.—(Bear, hear.) The petitions were then laid on the table, and ordered to he printed. Mr. PORTMAN brought in a Bill to consolidate the laws respecting Friendly Societies. It was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday, the 4th of May next. Mr. G. MOORE presented a petition from 147,000 Irish Protestants against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. Among the petitioners were to be found many members of the resident Peerage, Magi stracy, and Geutry of Ireland, the mass of its Protestant yeomanry; and last, though not least, the mass of the honest cod independent Protestant population. The Hon. Member, after eulogising the petitioners as some of the wisest, best, and most independent men iu Ireland, pro ceeded to inform the House, that it was their calm, deli berate, and conscientious opinion, that the evils of Ireland would not be removed, and the dangers which threatened it would not be averted, by yielding to the demands of the Roman Catholics. If carried, it would be received with a spirit of insolent triumph by the Roman Catholics, to which he was certain that the Protestants of Ireland would not submit. Mr. S. RICE denied in the strongest terms that this petition ought to be considered as representing the senti ments of the.Pretestants.of Irelaud, As.. a proof of the validity of this denial, he referred to tire declared opinions of the great lauded interest, and to the fact, that on the late division against the Catholic Question, out of the 100 Irish Members, only 16 voted on the adverse side, and of these 16, seven were members of close corporations. Mr. H. GRATTAN also strongly denied that this pe tition spoke the sentiments of the Protestants of Ireland, and referred to its signatures as a demonstration of that fact. Mr. MOORE said, that in the Protestant declaration, as it was called, he knew that in the town of Bangor, county of Down, out of 65 signatures, 57 were described as Esquires. Ile then enumerated several of the names of persons in trade, and one a servant, who were, as he was informed, described as being Esquires, in the declaration alluded to. Admiral EVANS said, that the worst arts were resort ed to in getting up that declaration. It was said in the country, that those who declined to sign it would be marked out for destruction. Lord F. L. GOWER remarked, that the petitioners merely opposed the Catholic Association, and the low rate of the elective franchise. Both these objections being re moved by the Bill before the House, it did not follow that howtver zealous the petitioners might have previously been, they were now to be deemed opposed to concession upon the general question. After a few words from Colonel Bauman, the petition was laid on the table. Mr. 'WILLOUGHBY presented a petition from Glen- thorn and Bradford, in the county of Nottingham, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics.—Ordered to be printed. Admiral EVANS presented petitions from Kirkpatrick and three other places in the county of Cork, to the same effect. The Hon. Member observed, that the persons to whose admission to political privileges he was opposed, were idolaters, and we knew what denunciations were contained in the Scriptures against all idolatrous persons, and those who approved of their practices.—(A laugh.) If a power of interference in the affairs of this realm were to be given directly or indirectly to any foreign potentate by means of this Bill, that circumstance alone afforded him (Admiral Evans) a sufficient ground for °nosing it. In deed, he felt bound to do so by the oath be bad taken in the presence of that God "to whom all hearts were open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets were hid," and he would do so, so help him God. The petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. BURRELL presented a petition from Cuckfield, in the county of Sussex, against the Catholic Claims.—Or dered to be printed. Sir 11. INGLIS had a number of petitions to present against further concessions to the Catholics, from different parts of England and Scotland. The Hon. Member pro ceeded to enumerate the petitions, and among others men tioned that one was from the clergy of the archdeaconry of Bath, and had attached to - it the signatures of 57 clergy men ; another came from the presbytery of Linlithgow, and expressed an opinion that the first inroad on the coo_.: stitution would be attempted by means of an at!aalf on the Established Church of Ireland ; and added, that Presby terians though the petitioners were, tlie - y considered it their duty to support that Church as the bulwark of Constitu sional Protestantism. Another petition was from the synod of Ayr, agreed to by a large majority of its mem bers, who had the care of the religious instruction of 500,000 persons. After repeating a lung list of petitions from Scotland, the Hon. Gentleman declared his opinion, that a vast majority of the people of Scotland was decidedly opposed to making further concessions to the Roman Ca tholics. Mr. N. CALVERT would not admit that the majority of the people in Scotland and England was opposed to the measure brought forward by Ministers. He held rather cheap some of the petitions that had been presented with respect to this question_ he knew he himself could obtain petitions on the subject from half a dozen •neighbourirr villages, and whichev e r way he pleased.—(Laughte:7.)' Lord J. RUSSELL thought the Hon.:W:4)4er fni:Ox ford went too far when he declared his heiief that the opinion of the majority of the peolde of Scotland was against the Roman Cathc:l;ca, He recommended to the Hon.

Mem tents and like-wise of non-contents upon this question ; but added his decided conviction that the great body of the people was perfectly quiescent with regard to it, and did Mr. BELL presented a petition from the deanery of ➢lorpeth against Emancipation. Mr. LIDDELL—Upon the petition just presented from the Clergy, resident in the Deanery of Morpeth, I have to make a few observations. That petition is signed by only six beneficed Clergymen resident there, and I have to state that an equal number of residents have declined to offer their names thereto. Amongst them is the Archdeacon of Northumberland and another gentleman, for whose talents and respectability my Hon. Friends near me will vouch, the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, who is now engaged in writing a history of the county. Sir, having mentioned the name of the Archdeacon of Northumberland, I cannot deny myself the satisfaction of saying that I know him to he one whose piety and liberality may well recommend him as a model for imitation to his clerical brethren. I know him to be one most deeply attached to the Protestant Church, of which he is at once an ornament and a support, though he is utterly averse to resisting her claims to the venera►ion and confidence of the people upon the narrow basis of intolerance and exclusion. I have been informed, Sir, that some of our Clergy have not been over scrupulous in the means they have employed in getting up some of the petitions which have just been presented; and if so, I wish they would pay some regard to the example I have just cited. Colonel Strutt presented a petition from the inhabitants of Furling and Plaistow, in Essex, against further conces sion ; Mr. Ellison, a petition from the Recorder and Com mon Council of Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; Mr.E.Denison, one from the inhabitants of Hastings ; Lord Bective, from the Roman Catholics of Strathmurry and Kilbally, in the county of Meath; Mr. Western, from the freeholders and householders of Saffron Walden and of Coggeshall ; and Mr. H. Grattan, sixteen petitions from the Roman Catho lic inhabitants of St. Mary's, St. Thomas's, St. Michan's, and St. James's, parishes in Dublin ; and from other pa rishes in Cavan and Tipperary, all in favour of further concessions.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. F. PALMER presented, with a prefatory apology for the sentiments of the petitioners, a petition from Wal dem, in Sussex, against further concession. Mr. HUSKISSON presented a petition fro►n a. consi derable portion of the officiating ministers of the establish ed church in the town and vicinity of Liverpool, than whom he thought there was no body of men more calculated to pronounce an opinion on the contested merits of concession to the Roman Catholics. They professed the strongest at. tachment to the Protestant establishment in church and state, yet admitted the expediency of extending tho privi leges of the Constitution to their Catholic fellow-subjects, under the wise regulations proposed by the Bill now be-, fore the House.

Mr. PEEL moved the order of the day for the second reading of the Catholic Relief Bill.
