The Loan CHANCE uou. sat at Five o'clock to bear rthcrevidence in this case. Counsel stated that they intoulid to adduce nothing more in support of the petition, after an observation that had fallen from the Muse upon the nature of the case yesterday. The Lotto CUANCELLOR then moved the second read ing of the Bill, and that it be committed on - Monday, which were agreed to. Ti R.REI.I:f. DIVORCE BILL. The House proceeded to hear pin of the evidence in support of Colonel Tyrall's petition fur a divorce to dissolve the marriage with his wife, on the ground of adultery with Mr. St. Auhin, a clergyman.

The last was horn the county of Ferinanagh, and signed by upwards of 25,000. 4tThe Bishop of ROCHESTER presented a petition against further concessions to the Catholics. The Bev. Prelate, however, did not agree in the prayer of this peti tion. He hoped that Roman Clamlie oppression was now abut to receive a death-blow, but still that Protestant astendancy would ever continue to prevail in this country. He felt sati,fied that the measure now about to be proposed would in no way interfere with the Protestant ascen4ancy, anti therefore when the Bill came into this House it should hams his full support. Lord ROLLE presented a petition against Ealancipa • Lord ELDON had delayed s;x days in presenting a pc tition from the Wel-h Calvinistic 'Methodists, to give Lord King an opportunity of making sortie rem irks upon it when it cams before - the House, which he intimated he had to mike, but as that Noble Lord had . kit the House laJt night before he (Lord Eldon) had got to this petition, and as he was cot in his place to-night, he considered. that, - without any impropriety, he might 'aim- lay it on their Lordships' table, which he accordingly did, against furtter concession.. The Noble Lord pre sented 4.9 others, print :pally from Scotland, to the same effect. The Norsk Lord gave notice that on Thursday next he should present to their Lordships the general petition of the inhabitants of Loudon and Westminster, against fur ther concessions.

Mr. BELL presented a petition from two parishes in the coupty of Northampton, against concession. Admiral SOTFIERON . premented several similar peti• Lions bons the county of Nottingham. Mr. DENISON begged to make a few observations re lative to one of those petitions. It Contained the names of a great number of persons who had never signed it, or authorised any other person to do it for them. The person who had the getting up of it had so far allmeed,his zeal to overcome his judgment as to sign the names of persons whom be could not possibly have seen.—(Llear, hear.)—He was informed that the name of his own groom was attached' to it, and upon inquiry he found that it was the case although the servant was fifty miles from the place,-and could not possibly have known of the petition. lle should not have objected to his signing it, but on questioning him he found that he was averse to it. Admiral SOTIIERON not rising to reply to these otservat The SPEAKER observed that perhaps the Hon. Mem ber would wish to offer some obseivations in reply to the charge which had been made against the mode of getting up the petition, which had been presented to the House. Admiral SOTIIERON lepled that lie 'must admit that the petitions had received the signatures of three persons at the instigation of their respective svives.—( Laughter.) —He knew nothing more about the signatures than that it here the name of a great many respectable persons, and he thought it his duty to offer it to the House as be had received it. The SPEAKER observed, that the Hon. Member must have found that nothing like a charge had been made against the petition till after a subsequent enquiry. The pott to which, however, be wiateil to call the Hon. 3lembers attention was, that whenever a petition was presented by any lion. Member, lie did so in the eon fitience that it was the petition of thos:_, whose names were attached to. it. A charge Iris been made ag•tit : st,this peti tion, and the I•Ion. Aletniter has owned th;,t be Lid reason to delieve that the petition had been signed at the instance of the wives of c , ...ttlin persons wlso were absint.—(Hear, bear.)-11-•wever competent they might be to sign their own nano s, and tittle was no law which directed them to reject petition• signed by women, yet the House had never gone so far as to allow signatures by proxy to petitions without the consent of the individuals themselves. He trusted the Hon. Member would, under these circutn•tiitces see the propriety of withdrawinj this pet;tion, as, if the Home 'received it, it Must be as the petition of those who were admitted not to have signed it. If the persons whose names were signed were of that opinion they could still rankly the error by signing their own names. - _ _ Mr. DUGDALE presented a petition from the Ribbon Weavers of Warwick, revecting the state of their trade, also a petition from Oldham, against concession. lIUSKISSON presented a petition from a land holder of Midd!e:ex in favour of concession.

Mr. CHAPLIN presented several petitions from Lin co!nshirr a 4 ainst En , anripation. Sir VIM. INGILBY said, the most unfair means had been made use of to get up some of these petition.. Gne of them was from the neighbourhood where the Champion of England, Mr.Dymoke, resided, and he had made him s If very busy upon the occasion, by publishing large hand bills, de.iring the people to sign th s! petitions, which would support the Constitution, of which he was the Cham- . pion.—(Laughler.)—He thoto4ht these band-hills would not reflect much credit upon the Champion, for" under all of them was posted up an hatubbill of Dr. Eady's,— (Great laughter,)—se no ore could read the name o f Henry Dymo:k, Champion of England, without coupling it with that of Dr. E7..dy,—(Great laughter,).--he thought the means that had generally been made use of to get up petitions agoinst the measure, most disgraceful. Mr. CHAPLIN denied that there was any unfair mans used, but if a person impres.<cci with the Banner of •he . , measure trued to convince ethers, and bring them over to his opinion, he did not see why his name should be mixed up with Dr. Eady's, or that of any other doctor.— (Laughter.) Mr. TENNYSON must say that most of the petitions lo v l been got up by the Clergy, but the great proportion of the inreligence and property of the county of Lincoln were in favour of the measure.—(ffear, heat, and cries of no, no.)—Hon. Members might say, " No," but he was cenlident that such was the fact, and they would have pe titioned in supprt of it had they not thought that it was safe in the hands of it's Majesty's Government. Mr. JEPSON presented a petition against the dis franchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders from the pa rish of Waitecburch, in Cork. • Lord RANCUFFE expressed his willingness to sup port the disfrarcbiFement of the forty-shilling freeholders, upon the ground that it was the price to be paid for the great measure of Emanciparinn.

Mr. ESTCOURT s ii, one of the petitinns, presented by a G.Olant Colonel (Sibthorpc), the other night, from a villag in Lincolnshire, professed to IT from the majority of its iuhabit.ints. Now he would only remark that a friend of his, why was the proprietor of 9-20ths of that place; hail never head a single word of the petition till it was presented to the Howe, awl the Clergyman also was in tet.il ignorance of any such petition. After a few words flout Colonel IStlrruottel and Sir RO3ERT Ihnobt,•the petitions were brought up and read. (LEFT SITTING.) GERMAN AND DUD. PAPERS. Ca thol ics.

GENERAL PETITION OF THE PROTESTANTS OF IRELAND. The D►tke of CINI3ERLAND, gr eeab Iy to the notice he had given on a former night, rose to present the Gene ral Petition of the Protestants of Irelmd, praying that their Lordships► would not grant further concessions to the Catholics. My Lords, continued the Noble Duke, I be lieve there never has► been a petition presented to any House of Parliament more numerously signed than the one which I have now the honour to I4y upon your Lordships' table, it having no less than a hundred and sixty thousand signatures of gentlemen of all ranks, Ma gistrates, and a great party of the Noblemen (37 of whom were resident in that country) and the most ancient Protestants in that county, and I trust I shall not hear that which has been often and often stated in this Muse,. that the lower classes were not able to judge of the Ca tholic Question. My Lords, there is no country in the world. where there is a more enlightened and religious set of people than the Protestants of this United King dom.—(Hear, hear.)—Would to God, my Lott's, the pe titioners had chosen a more able advocate than the indi vidual who has now the honour to address you. lam not vain enough to suppose that any thing that can fall from me could induce your Lordships to act otherwise than what your consciences and true feelings would dic tate ; but this I know, the petitioners could not hare intrust ed it to a more zealous ar•d determined supporter of the Protestant Church than myself.—(lkar.)—Upon a former occasion I have been accused of having sounded the alarm of war, and of having made use of the words " Pro testant and Popery." My Lords, I shall certainly take the liberty of staling my opinion of the measure that his Majesty's Government have thought proper to lay before the British Pailianient. We are told all disabilities are to be taken off the Catholics, that they are to sit in Parliament, that they are to sit in the Privy Council, that they are to be Ministers of State and Judges of the land—in short every thing with the exception of Lord Chancellor of either kingdom, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and King. My Lords, I should be sorry to mis-state any man's words, and 1 really do not think it necessary to do so. 'therefore, whether the Noble Duke, at the head of hie Majesty's Government did, or did not, use the mod security in the answer he made to the Noble Prelate, I will not state, but as far as I know, the Noble Duke did state that the proposals he should make would be acceptable to both parties. Nov, I would beg to say, what in ference can any individual understand from the word "acceptable," except the inference that the Noble Duke and the Government of this country had taken care that there should be proper securities for the Pro testant Church. Will you then agree, I would ask, to this, that the mere extteption of Lord Chancellors of Eng land and Ireland, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, that these not being Catholics, will you agree that this is security euffi cient for the Protestant Church ? I believe that there is not one of us that will agree to this, and I maintain, if my Noble and Learned Friend sitting on the cross-benches, if he were now Chancellor of England, and was in a Cabinet where the majority were Catholics, that be, with 411 his zeal, and integrity, and determination, could not maintain alone the security of the Church, and I believe there is lib person who will doubt hi, attachment to the Protestant Church.—(Hear, hear.)—The Noble Duke has told your Lordships that he is solely responsible for the measure, he has been candid and fair enough to say so, and I have no doubt that be will make every exertion to carry this measure through, knowing as I certainly do, his determination and great perseverance.—f [leer, hear.) — But when I look around, and see so many Noble Lords around me, I - rather think they will not so im mediately go into the measure, but will prune and pause again, and will consider that the whole confidence of the country lies in this House. The Noble Lords will reflect and pause well before they come to that decision, -which they have for so many years opposed ; nay. which a few months ago they declared impossible by a majority of 45, which your Lordships will recollect was trutn - ;meted all over the country under the appellation of the glorious majority of 45. My Lords I feel warmly, lint I trust warmly as I feed that I shall certainly not forget the respect I owe to the House, nor to the pub lic at large; and there is nothing further from my wi t h than to inflame the mintle of the public, which are cer tainly at this moment in a very irritated state; but I do say that I look upon this measure as one of the most outrageous measures ever - iwoposed, and one • that duce undermine and shake the Constitution. My Lords, I reallv believe and feel, that until I shall hear from the Noble Lord now sitting on the Woolsack, that the que.tion has been decided—that this Measure has been adopted— that it will - not pass into a law. I mean nothing personal to the Noble Duke, for I can assure him that no one can be more desirous to obey every dictate he can lay down in the field, but in this IfouSe I certainly shall feel it mey bounden duty to resist, in every manner and shape the Law and the Constitution of the country will allow sae, both the liills, looking upon them as the ruin of my country.—(llear. )—My Lords, I can assure pow Lordships that this is the sincere feeling of mY heart, and therefore I do declare, whenever the two Bills shall come up, I shall most positively give my vote against both of them, being convinced in my own mind that the Noble Duke would never have agreed to the measure fur taking off the disabilities of the Catholic', were it not for the disfranchisement of the 40s. freeholder, and I for one can not think of sacrificing my country for the sum of 101. My Lord I have now stated my feeling upon the sularet—it was a duty I owed to the petitioners to do so, I am sorry I have detained your Lordships so long, and I beg now' that the petition may be read.—(Applause.) The Clerk read the petition. • The Earl of WICKLOW had listened to the petition, just presented by the illustrious Duke, with all the attention which a petition coining from so large and respectable a body of his fellow-countrymen required, and he was happy to say that in its prayer he fully concurred. When he said that he was willing to subscribe to the prayer of the Peti tion, he distinguished that prayer front the means recommended by the petitioners for carrying it into effect. The petitioners requested Parliament to suppress. the Catholic Association. It had already been sup, pressed. The petitions next reqeired their Lordships to maintain the Protestant Constitution of these realms. He believed that if the present measures had not been con tensplated by Goiernment, but that their Lordships had been employed in devising means of carrying the wishes of the petitioners into effect, they could have hit upon none better calculated for that impose than those very measures themeelves.—(llear, hear.) —His firm belief was, that if time Bill did not paia the Protestant religion could not exist in Ireland. Already up to the Present time the Protestant ppleulation of Ireland bad been no the decline. The el:emigration of Protestant,' had been very great, and it their Lordships should agree to reject the measure now proposed under circumstances totally. dif ferent from those in which it had been rejected before—it having now been recommended to the consideration of Parliament in the speech from the throne, anti declared by Ministers on their responsibility to be necessary for the tranquillity of Leland—the consequences no man could contemplate ; but such a proceeding must imme diately tend tee increase the emigration of the lower ranks of Protestants. He now particularly addressed himself to those Noble Lords connected with his own country who o pposed the measures which the King's Ministers con ceived necessary to the tranquillity of Ireland, and asked them what state of things it was which they contem plated ? lie would suppose, and it was with great re luctance be admitted such a supposition, that Ministers would be defeated on this measure, that Parliament would he dissolved in the present agonised state of this country, and the alarming condition of Ireland, and that a small ma jority of a new Hr use of Commons might be got to sup. port another Minietry. 'What, lie asked, would be_ the consequence ? Suppose the new GoirernMent should sue ceed by means of military force is siippreeSing the feeling of discontent in Ireland—suppose thitethe'Brunswick anti Orange Clubs were to he pl-aced in array against their countrymen ; was that to be the continued state of society in Ireland?—(Hear, hear.)—Were they not to look be• yond that? Did Noble Lords deny that the measures - pro_ posed by Government would - restore tranquillity to Ireland. (He.►r. from the cross.lsenehes.)—No °Delia(' said that tranquillity could be obtained without it. Ministers hate ing declared, on their responsibility, that the measure was necessary for the tranquillity of Ireland, those who opposed the measure Were bound to come forward and state whet would answer the same purpose, unless they meant to say that Ireland was to continue for ever in her present mise rable and degraded state,—(y ear , The Duke of RICHMOND said that the Noble Lord " who had just addressed the House had called dpon those who opposed the measures of Goiernment to state what they would wish to substitute^ in tl4:ir place. No opinion of his upon this point could have notch weight with their Lordships, and therefare he weold quote that of a high legal authority, who, after having argued the question at considerabie length, and declared that the granting of eman cipation would be the upsetting of the Protestant Church, being asked what he proposed to substitute for ematieipa. tion, said, 6' I do not know that I ought toe required to answer such a question. My answer therefore is, ti at I am not a Member of his Mijesty's Goren mnent. lam not one of the Ministers of the E;to.vn,—l have no connexion with the Government,=l am not united to themi other: wise than by the respect I owe to the individuals of which it is composed. It would consequently be idle, and indeed mischievous, fur me to pretend to say what is my opinion as to the measures that ought to he adopted:" lie (the Duke of Richmond) concurred in the opinion now ez pressed. Her thought it would be extremely silly aid im proper In any one not bohling office to declare his Senti ments on the point referrei to, and th'e'refore he felt much respect for the Master of the Rolls of 1827 for having made that statement.—(ll , ar.) After a few words from tie Earl of Wicxcow, the Earl of DA RNLEr, and Lord FARNHAM, The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented a petition againat concession from the University of Dublin, signed by 1,109 persons. Amongst those who bad signed the petition were the Chancellor and Vic-Chancellor, two Archbishops, 10 Bishop, 15 Doctors of Divinity, 18 Doc tors of Laws, and 148 Masters of Arts, including the most distinguished members of the bar and other professions. Lord PLUNKETT said, that the reason for his taking the liberty to rise, upon this petition being presented by the Noble and Illustrious Duke, was, because it purported to proceed from the University of Dublin. He was anxi ous, in the first place, to prevent any impression going abroad, since the name of the University of Dublin had been connected with this petition, though the Noble and Illustrious Duke had very properly stated that it came only from the undenigned graduates of that University—he was anxious, he repeated, that the petition should not be taken as the petition of the University of Dublin. It certainly was competent for any number of persons, being graduates, to address any petition to their Lordships, but he could not help regretting that the petition had been pre sented to their Lordships, because it•was not merely the petition of the individuals • who signed, but was in his knowledge, though it might not be in that - of some Noble Lords, that a Society had been forthed in Dublin, consist ing of the graduates of the University of Dublin, fur the purpose of making arrangements to defeat that measure which it was in the contemplation of his Majesty's Minis ters shortly to submit to their Lordships.—(Hear.)—lt was the more unfortunate that such a Society existed, because it had been formed, or if not formed it had been countenanced, by those whose duty it was to watch over the state of the University and preserve the peace anti tran quillity of the place —(lean )—He, therefore, could not help lamenting that such a Society should have been form ed out of the materials, which the University afforded, ' more particidaily as that Society had thought right to adopt one of the must objectionable • measures of the Roman Catholic Association—the collection of a rent from all persons willing to subscribe.—(hear, hear, hear.)---Ile dared say that the Noble and Illustrious Duke was not aware of that cit cumstance ; but it was a most unwarrant able proceeding in those who bad thus countenan ;ell the Society, because it was likely to beget distraction and ill will. With respect to the University of Dublin, he begged leave to say, that the University was undoubtedly a Protestant endowment. It was endowed in Ow time of Queen Elizabeth; but though it was a Protestant endow ment, it was a public school, for the education not exclu sively of the children of the Protestants, but of the children of the whole people of Ireland. That University bad con ducted itself with marked prudence and discretion. He hail had the honour of knowing that University for up wards of 40 years, and during the whole of the period he had been connected with it, and with persons interested in its welfare, its conduct had been so marked with. libe rality, and so' distinguished by t'ae •abaence of all patty feeling, as to be considered by the gentry of Ireland—RD. man Catholic as well as Protestant—as an asylum free from that inflammatory spirit which had unfortunately spread itself over the country. As to the graduates of the University who had signed the • petition, as he had not looked over their names ; he • was - not competent ti say who they were, lint lie 4,nl no d.iuht they were highly re- • spectable, and he believed that the most of them were cler gymen of the established church. lie held in his hand two petitions, which he intended to present that night to their Lordships. One of them came front the under signed Protestant members of the Irish bar, and the oilier was the petition of the Roman Catholic members' of the Irish bar. - The first petition was signed by upwards of 100 persons, and the petition of the Roman Catholic • barristers was signed by upwards of 70 persons. There was scarcely a pet son who had signed either of those - petitions who haul not been a graduate of the University of Dublin, and he would take the liberty of saying,• that in his judgment, the sentiments of those laymen, who had thy opportunity el eltamining the state of the country, and whose profes sional avocations ' made them peculiarly acquainted with its conditions—these petitions, lie thought, formed a much more adequate representation of the opinions of -the gra duates of the University of Dublin, than the petition re sented by the Noble and Illuati ious Duke. Having said thus much, he begged leave to state What the University of Dublin was, with respect to the election pf &Represen tative to sit in the House of Commons. The University of Dublin consisted of fellows and scholars. The number of fellows was 26, and of those 26, he would take upon himself to say, there were not More than seven or eight who entertained any feeling hostile to the measures pro_ posed by his Majesty's Ministers. • Aa to the 70 scholars, he haul not had of late an opportunity of .ascertaining what 'their opinions were, but he had reason to believe that the great majority were favourable to the measure introduced • into the other House of Parliament. Without entering into a minute examination of the subject, he would lay be• fore their Lordships some grounds to warrant the conclu sions.to which he bad come. His own opinions with re spect to the Catholic question : 4d been long known—he had never concealed them, but had taken every opportu nity of Aleclaring them, and .they were known to every member of the University of Dublin. With the full know ledge of those opinions, the members of that University had done him the honour, - which he should ever bear in his recollection with the proudestsais!action, of returning him as their Representative in Parliament on five sums „cations.—(Hear.)--He had said thus much to set the matter in its proper light.—(Hear, hear.) Lord KING wished to say one word respecting the peti- Lion just presente 4 . The petitioners stated, that the tti ord o f G o 4 was a teased book to the Catholics, and that tra dition was only accessible to the privileged orders. ' heir private judgment, the" petitioners stated, was overruled by aorpor.►te views. The petitioners, in making use of the expression " corporate ♦iews," had, no doubt, this little fact in their minds. He held in his hand an extract, made from the journals of an incorporated -body. It ap peared on the journals of the trustees of the linen and hemp manufacture of Ireland, that a porter was discharged on the complaint of a clergyman, that he was a vile, drunken, and blasphemous fallow'. In a subsequent page of the journal it was recorded that the discharged porter was restored to his situation on his turning Protestant. (Much laughter.) Let that be a set-rff to the charge made against the Roman Catholics, of acting in a corporate capacity.—(Laughter.) The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented petitions against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics, from two places in Ireland. - Earl GREY presented petitions in favour of the Catholic claims from the Roman Catholics of Shepton-Mallett ; from the inhabitants of Great Yarmouth ; from the town and port of Dover ; from the inhabitants of Ashton-under Line ; and from the Catholics of the sante place ; from the Roman Catholics of Rochdale and it;s Vicinity ; and from places in the counties of Lancaster and York. The Noble Earl also presented a petition from the physicians, surgeons, and students of the Westminster Medical Society, praying their Lordships to take measures to remedy the existing inconveniences with respect to the dissection of bodies. • The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE 'Presented a petition from the town of Belfast, numerously and respeetab:y signed, in favour of the Catholic claims ; also a petition to the same effect from a parish in Downshire. The Noble Lord was requested by some of the inhabitants of the town of Bainbridge; in the county of Dublin, to state 'to their Lordships that a petition whieli had been presented to their Lordships, from that• place, by a Noble Earl, against the Cathslic claims; did not represent the senti ments of the majority of the people of the town. Lord DUNALLY presented several petitions (ruin parish e s in Tipperary, in favour of the Roman Catholic claims. . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in riling to pre sent some petitions in favour of tl',...'Catholic Claims, be lieved that the Protestants of Ireland were not very liberal, but they now - saw the necessity of putting an end to the which existed in Ireland. Ile informed their Lordships that he had presented an address to kis Majesty from ' the inhabitants". of the county of Londonderry, in which they expressed a desire that his Majesty would re conunend to the consideration of Parliament, a Ille3(tire, for the purpose of uniting together all classes of people in Ireland. The Noble Marquis stated, that he could nut believe that the Catholic Asiociation was put down when he saw a meeting held at the 'Thatched-house., and a cor respondence kept up with the Catholics of Ireland. He held in Iti4 hand a letter written to Ireland, calling!upon the forty-shilling freeholders to resist the measure for their disfranchisement, and he thought that that species of agi- tati:m ought not to be allowed to continue, while the mf.asures relating to Ireland were pending before .Parlia mt-nt, nod called upon the Noble Lords opposite, who went under the denomination of the Whigs, to join him in putting an end to it. Ile Lad moved for some returns re- epccting the number of freeholders in Ireland, whick had not yet been presented, but he thought but little diminu tion would take place in the number of freeholders if they were only raised to. 10/ lle therefore now gave notice of his intention, when the Disfranchisement Bill should come up to their Lordships, to propose that the elective, franchise should be raised to 20/. He thought it was an injustice to touch the electiiefranchise at all, hut, in hits opinion, it was better for their Lordships to do a great id , justice and effect their object, than to do a little injustice anti fail. The Noble Lord then presented petitions in favoti: of f the Catholic Claim., from the city of Londonderry, friz%) the county of Londonderry, and from eight other places id Ireland. The Marquis of CLANRICARDt shotild fed p his duty to oppose the measure respecting the elective franchise of Ireland, when it should be brought forward. Lord ROLLE presented a petition against the Catholia Cht:rns. Lord KENYON presented similar petitions from Alden ham, Ilerts, and from two other places. The Bishop of BRISTOL (who spoke in a tone quite inaudilde below the bar) was understood to present a pe tition from clergymen in Gloucestershire against the Ca tholic claims, and praying for securities for the Establish•. ed Church. The Right Rev. Prelate made some observe- Cons which were not audible. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—This petition .came from a district in which the Catholic religion did not only exist, but had been upon the increase, and he was happy to have an opportunity of stating, in the presence of the Hoare and of the: Right Rev. Prelate, an instance of •highly culpable conduct respecting the discharge of clerical duties, which was much more likely to produce Injury fri the Established Church than any measure which could proceed from the Legislature. In a part of the county of Dorset which was, he believed, in the diocese of the Right . Rev. Prelate, there had been for many years a nunnery, in which there were a great number of Catholic ladies re.. markable for their zeal for the religion they professed. The part of Doractshire to which he alluded, consisted of two villages, and during the whole of that time the nunnery existed, though the living was worth 'MO/ a year, there_ had never been a resident clergyman there.—(Hear, hear.) The living, to which another living was attached, was the living of Spettisbury, of which the Rector bad resided in London for SO years, during which time there lad rust been even a 'resident curate in the place. Now/ if tbti Catholic religion had increased there, let bins not filar said that it was owing to the encroaching spirit of first tie- ligion, but let it be attributed to the real cause—the ifant of efficient discharge of clerical duties on the spot by a MI silent clergyman.—(Hear, bear.) The Bishop of BRISTOL was understood to say, that the greater part of his time was occupied in promoting the residence of clergymen on their livings in his diocese : and to ask the name of the c'ergyman to whom the Noble Mar quis :Abided. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not recollect the name ; but be would take care to famish the Right Rev. Prelate with it. Nothing could he farther from his inten tion than to impute to the Right Rev. Prelate the omission of his duties. The Earl of GUILFORD said, it appeared to him that • the Noble Marquis had made a most unfair and unjust -at tack upon the clergy in general, founded upon a particular instance of neglect on the part of one of the body.—(Cries of " No, no.")—lt certainly appeared to him, that if the: - Noble Marquis bad not made the charge directly, he had at least insinuated as much, and meant it to be inferred, • from this single fact, that the clergy were generally negli gent of their duties—(cries of " No, no")—.and he asked the Noble Marquis if such were not Isis intention ?,. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—I have great pleasure in answering the question of the Noble Earl. Certainly l east no such imputation on the clergy directly—certainly I. insinuated no such charge against the clergy. I am.our prised that the Noble Earl should think me capable of in sinuating any charge..—(Cheers.)-11 I had meant to Pri e a charge against the, clergy, I should have made it directly, not insinuated it ; nor 8110111.1 1 have feared to.do so, even in the presence of so powerful an advocate of the - clergy as the Noble Earl is. —(Cheers and laughter.)l merely stated one instance of mu conduct. The Earl of ELDON—In rising to call the attention of your Lordships to the petitions I. hold in my hand, I du not mean to trespass upon your time by, debati n g the rem sures in contemplation on this 'subject; ; but I must take this opportunity of stating, . that while I abstain from that discussion myself, in conformity with the.understanding to which I agreed,. )et l .will have that- rule prowl, against others which is. ',wand against me.. Adhering- to that rule, the propriety of which I fully admit, while others take every opportunity of snaking speeches, I .cannot putting to myself the question, " Semper ego auditor tantum ? nunquamne repououls Vexatos toties ?" If the Made Duke will not assist me in confining others as • I am confined, I shall consider the obligation, by which I. lave bound myself dissolved, and I Will reply to the sp., clues of those Noble Lords to whom I allude." The Noble and Learned Lord sail that he wished to correct a statement which had been made respecting him in the pub lic journ ils. It had been stated ol him that he represent ed the Unitarian ministers as having no congregations- Whether it was or was not to be lamented that they had congregations, was a question. which he would not discuss, but certainly he had never. represented that they•had none, nor assimilated these individuals to a class of persons to which he once belonged himself—briefless lawyers.—( Hear, and laughter.)— The Noble and Learned Lord then pre sented petitions against the Catholic claims from the Os' !lab of St. Luke, and from the parochial churches of St. John, St. Andrew, All Saints, and St. Nicholas, in New castle-upon-Tyne. Earl GREY could, without difficulty, subscribe to what the Noble Lord had said with respect to the:itnpro priety of discussing the general question at such incon venient occasions. The Noble Lord was certainly not hound to ahstain from the discussion if others slid not equally adhere to the rule. Upon the subject of this pe tition from Newcastle, it.had been very properly etatedthet numbers in that town had signed a petition of an i opposite nature. The prayer _of two of the petitions for the security of the Protestant Aseendancy.was what no man could ob ject to. If the House granted .the prayer of• the. two. other petitions, he was convinced that it wmild.only per-. petuate the evils of discord, and of that division which all. men deprecated, and wished to be removed. There were circumstances respecting petitions which he wag. desirous of stating. He should always guard himself against what; had been iesitmated that night—a disposition lo depre ciate the right of petitioning ; a right which-had been al ways, and justly, held to be invaluable. He disclaimed any intention of throwing any impediment in the way of petitioning, for be admitted that the eight. was.one of the. • most important which the subject could enjoy. It was ono of the most excellent of the privileges obtained by the.peopie. by the second great Charter of their liberties, establishot by the Revolution of 1688. From him no man .would ever hear one. word in opposition to this right, which- was equally , invaluable to the lowest and to.tbe highest in an eirty. But he must be permitted to state, that there were some subjects upon which the passion!! of the multitude • might be more easily inflamed than ,upon others. Thu jealousies, the fears,. and all the odious passions , might be raise.l by artful arid inflammatory. appeals to .the :aaelent prejudices of. the people, which would. silence and over power the voice of truth, and•justice, and reason. If they: saw effects of this sort--if, instead of the petitions evincing the reason anti justice of the.people, the How saw the fer ment of prejudice, such as in other times disturbed the. public peace and produced the greatest danger, then, in the game proportion as lie felt the value of the right, in the same proportion as he respected the sober judgment of the people, in that same proportion he felt himself called upon to resist the " civium ardor prove juventium," and not, to stiffer the House to be influenced by improper clamour, raised by the arts of sedition and of faction.—(Hear.)--" The country had witnessed the effects of them in other Periode ol its history. They had seen its effects even in opposition to the Revolution itself, when the passions of the people were so much misled as to raise a cry in sup port of passive obedience and absolute power. It was not against the right of petitioning, which •no man venerated more highly than himself, but against the abuse o f that ight—an abuse founded on the false colours in which the proposed measure had been set forth by their opponents, that he protested. Advering to the petitions which had been presented by the Noble and Learned. Lord, :be (Earl Ce ey\ observed, that in the populous and opulent town of Newcastle there had, until the present ocoasinOs been no disposition to stir in the question of Catholics Emancipation. For the many years during which that question had been agitated, both the Members. for 'New castle had voted in favour of h. ,Their conduct in that re spect had never been objected to by their constituents. I n the various elections which had taken place, he had never heard that, either on their canvass, or at the hustings, arly 1. 1 111 fa tc t} la n fl iz i (I t ti 1, 1, 1
