The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE had on a former night presented to their Lordship*' House a petition, professing to come from a person named Watson, an Alderman of the city of Limerick. He had since ascertained that this petition was a forgery, and intended as a hoax upon the petitioner. His Lordship bad since written to that in dividual, who disclaimed all knowledge of it. Since that three other letters had reached his Lordship, on the same subject, but .11 in different hand-writing. The question for their Lordships then wars,. whether this ought to be considered as a Breach of Privilege, or whether, as he conceived, it was not too contemptible to call for any further consideration. The Earl of LIMERICK said, that when the Noble Lord (Downshire) had spoken to him on the subject of that petition, he (the Earl of Limerick) was con vinced that it was nothing but a hoax ; however, he was not disposed to treat it so lightly as the Noble Lord had done, hieing, as lie conceived, a violation of the respect due to the House. He had a letter from the individual whose name had been made use of, which he would read as a part of his speech. [Alderman Watson's letter denied all knowledge of the petition.] The Earl of Limerick, in conclusion, said that he had no motion to make on the subject, being satisfied to leave it to their Lordships' dis cretion to dispose of it in whatever way appeared consist ent with the respect due to the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The Noble Marquess had presented a petition on a former evening, and he con fessed that, on hearing that petition read, he thought it was net the petition of the party it purported to be. In his opinion, it was intended as an insult to that House. The Noble Marquess thought he could not do otherwise than present that petition to their Lordships, but they must feel that the person who had sent the petition bad insulted their Lordships; and had been guilty of a breach of their privileges. The Noble Lord had stated, that he did not mean to follow up the measure, but it then became his duty to propose sonic measure to their Lordships, and he should propose that their Lordships should, as usual in such cases, appoint a Select Committee to inquire into the case, and on discovering the individual he might be brought to their Lordships' Bar, and punished or admonished, as might be necessary. Lordship concluded by mowing for a such a Select Committee, which was ordered, and the Committee immediately appointed. Just published, by Henry Colburn, S, New Burlington street.

Lord ROLLE presented a petition from Kingsbridge, Devon, against Emancipation The Marquis of TROMOND presented two petitions from the county of Cork, against Emancipation. Lord HARDWICKE presented a petition from the Sur geons of the county of Cambridge, praying that their Lord ships would revise the laws fur obtaining bodies for dis section. The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented several peti tions against further concessions to the Catholics. The Earl of WINCHELSEA presented petitions against further concessions. The Noble Earl had alto a petition to present from Sir Harcourt Lees, praying that their Lordships would not grant further concessions until the Catholics had renounced allegiance to any foreign Power. The Earl of GUILFORD presented a petition from Dover, agreed to at a public meeting, and signed by 1„560 persons, praying that their Lordships would grant no further concessions to the Catholics, whose tenets they considered irreconcileable with civil liberty. No petition fi um any town could be more worthy the consideration of the House than this. Not only on account of its commercial and local importance, but also for its uniform attachment to the just prerogative of the Crown. Previous to the opening of the present Session, the petitioners had abstained from all interference with the question ; and it was the recommendation alone advised by Ministers that had excited their apprehensions, and stimulated them to the present measure. The Noble Lord had carefully perused the petition, he knew nothing of the subject of it till he had received the commission to present it to their Lordships. In doing this he begged leave to say that he concurred most heartily in the nature of its contents. He would not bias their Lordships either one way or the other, but would leave the petition to speak its own sentiments. He trusted that it would have due weight with their Lordships, and be the means of removing those terrors under which the petitioners at present laboured. The Earl of DARNLEY had understood the Noble Lord to say that the petition was the unanimous voice of Dover. Lord GUILFORD observed that he had not said so. Lord DARNLEY had misunderstood the Noble Lord then. He himself had a petition from a number of free holders of that town, most numerously and respectably signed, of an opposite nature. He must however beg to say, that the petition presented by the Noble Lord (Guil ford) was any thing but the unanimous opinion of the in habitants of Dover. Lord GUILFORD believed that the population of Dover at the last census was estimated at 5000, only 2000 of whom were competent, he thought, to sign the petition. Now the present petition, as he had before stated, was signed by upwards of 1560 persons. Lord KING believed the terrors which the Noble Lord (Guilford), had adverted to, were unknown in this country until the publication of a little work, called the Protestant Almanack, in 1680, two years after Titus Oates established the first Brunswick Club. That terror had been banded down front one old woman to another, till it had attained to that enormous height to which the Noble Lord had alluded. He would entertain their Lordships with re,.ding a story or two out of this notable work. His Lordship then read the following passages :—" Syl ves t er li. gave himself to the devil, and worshipped him that he might have his will. By virtue of which contract, Ir oti. taineel to be the infallible head of youv lioly Church. Jelin XII. kept Reyneva ...tepharia (who was his father's con cubine, and her sister Joan, Anne, and divers others), be turned his palace into stews, ravishing wives, widows, and maids who came to Rome in pilgrimage ; he invocated the devil at dice for success ; he drank a health to the devil ; he ordained a Deacon in his stable, made a lc), iahol; ten • years &d, put out his grandfathey'a eyes, cut off his car& sycri't lay what, said his Lordship— ,, the nose of another, and the hand of a third. He was killed by the Devil, and died impenitent." Here my Lords, said his Lordship, is another extract :—" Since Mrs. Gilbert, a Dutch woman, in man's apparel, travelled to Athens, where she made a shift to get as much Latin as woat4 serve to make a dunce-mass Priest, ;t: azr i y the Old"inumpsimus, she crept 44 to be Ptipe, by the name of John VIII. ..*s she marched in pompous procession she was delivered of a bastard, which she murdered, awl then went to her own place. Its a pity she lived not to bring forth another litter, that the Church of Rome might have had a pig Out of her own sow." These and many similar stories were in the Protestant Almanac, and he could recommend the present opponents of the Roman Catholics to get a second edition of the book printed, it would furnish excellent ma- CATHOLICS. The Earl of LONGFORD rose to present three peti tions, from different places in Ireland, all praying that the Catholic Association might be put down, and no further concessions granted to the Catholics. In presenting them, he begged leave to claim their Lordships' indulgence while he briefly replied to the attack rather ungenerously and unexpectedly made on him last night. The Noble Lord (Plunkett) had, in the attack he made yesterday evening, taken an aquatic excursion ; and though he did not be long to the Hon. profession of the Navy, and might mis apply nautical terms, he should endeavour to follow him. After cruising about, be had been caught in the chops of the channel of concession ; but he, for one, would not enter into, and would not certainly get into their whirl pool, and would not go through the channel. But the Noble T.ord meant to enter the channel, and get at length oft' the port of Popery ; but he would nut be able to get in—he would he fenced off by a bar called the British Constitution. He might moor his vessel off the bar ; but the stream of public opinion was running strong against him, and he would be driven away. The Noble Lord had gone to sea in the good frigate Surprise—bad made a good voyage, and had at length moored himself in Peerage Bank, and in the Court of Justice, and he wished he might remain. —(A laugh.)—The Noble Lord said that he (Lord Longford) looked at things only on one side; and he ad mitted that he did, because on one side was attempting to subvert the Constitution, and the other to uphold it.— , (Hear, hear, No, no.)—He was not one of those who, like the Noble Lord, thought Brunswick Clubs and Catholic Associations equally lawless and dangerous. He thought the different principles on which they met made all the difference as to their proceedings. He would trust one to the discretion of the Noble Lord, but not the other. The Noble Lord had made use of some forensic sarcasms, which might be expected from his profession, and he could not answer the Noble Lord. He would not venture to • state any opinion of his own of the Noble and Learned Lord ; but he might, which would answer the same pur pose, venture to state the opinions of ether people. When that famous Bill was passed, in 1925, for putting down the Catholic Association, which was drawn up when the Noble Lord was in the Government, what did the Pro testants of Ireland say of that Bill ? They called it the Enabling Statute, signifying that it was so drawn up that the Catholics had no objection to it. And what said the Catholics of that statute? They said that it had been prepared by the ignoramus Plunkett. Both the Catholics and Protestants condemned the measure. He did not say this on his own authority, bat on the authority of persons learned in the law like the Learned Lord. With respect to his own prophecies, he did not make proph e cying a tr a d e; but he remembered certain prophecies of the Noble Lord, about the Union, that shewed that he too was a defeated prophet. Lord PLUNKETT begged to offer a few words to their Lordships, in reply to what the Noble Lord had just stated. The Noble Lord thought himself entitled to corn plain that he attacked him unexpectedly, and that he was not prepared to expect it ; and his Lordship seemed to think it was proper to do as they do in Ireland—pay off one gale (an Irish term, we understand, for rent) before another was due.---(A laugh.)—But when the Noble Lord thought proper to attack a public officer, and make a se rious charge against him, he ought at all times to hold himself in readiness to give every explanation, and answer any defence; he ought to be prepared with a satisfac tory' reply. It was not necessary for him to enter into all the well-considered sarcasms uttered by the Noble Lord, nor to redress all the mis-statements he had made : there was, however, an ol,servation or two which he felt himself called upon to notice, and he had one or two remarks to make upon that part of the Noble Lord's speech, which referred to, the feelings created among Protestants 'and Catholics by the Bill of 1925. The Noble Lord in - the warmth of his zeal had arrived at conclusions which were not at all warranted by the pre • m i sa s; but, taking these conclusions in the Noble T ord's reading . , it appears that he (Lord Plunkett) had sueacieded in obtaining the impartial detestation of both, parties— friends as well as foes—Protestants as well as Catholiea. Upon that question he was not able to express an y opi nion ; but he h a d always thought that, next to the praise of tire virtuous, the censure and the condemnation of par ties who were both equally enemies to the peace and the prosperity of their country must be considered as the ob ject most to be desired. The Noble Lord had, arraigned his conduct and expressions w:th reaucct to the Members of the Catholic Association. hoc never' hesitated to .• express fins opinion et'.oleir proceedings when they were in the smith of their prosperity; and he certainly could not be charged with any meanness in giving utterance to the same opinions, now that those who composed it were de s prived of the advantages of their union, and shorn ul their power. He had declared his conviction more than once, that the Association containeil among its members men of great talent intenti ons; b ut h e h ail not hes i tate d , at the al ,o ‘e!nliowirients, and of the most patriotic and berrevoleni same time, to express his detestation of tine language of personality and m enace w hi eli was frequently to be fianni in their discussio ns . if , however, he ;van: to he called upon to say whi c h o f t h e tv{o parties, the Association or the ti Brimyici,:era, posSessed the s trongest palliations Lf their violence, be should not hesitate to express his opinion that the se who were smarting under long continued and most grievous wrongs were more en titled to claim an apology , for their violence than those who lorded it Over their fellow-men by the possession of an odious monopoly. There was another palliation two of those acts of violence into which the inter ference of some of the leaders of the Catholics had betrayed them. They had never, like those who supported the Brunswick Clubs of the Noble Lord, attempted to accom plish their objects with arms in their hands. He believed indeed that there had been much greater apprehensions of danger from the proceedings of those Clubs, than from the intemperate denunciations of the Association ; and he re peated his observation of the former evening, that nothing contained in the violent language of members of the Asso ciation ever approached the treasonable declarations of some of the members of the Brunswick Clubs, when they ex pressly delivered it . as their conviction that the King, by consenting to Catholic Emancipation, had forfeited his title to the Throne. The Noble Lord concluded by ob servint, that he was not disposed to be guilty of the bad taste bf continuing this episode, although the Noble Lord was perfectly at liberty to do so to any extent be thought proper. The Earl of WINCHILSEA begged (with some warmth) to dissent from the opinions advanced by the Noble Lord (Plunkett) on the subject of the Catholic As sociation ; and declared his determination to resist that emancipation which the Noble Lord contemplated with so much satisfaction, to the utmost extent of his power. If the voice of the country was against him, he should bow with submission to its decree ; but he was determined to lose no opportunity of rousing it to a sense of the danger it incurred from admitting the Catholics to political power. The petition was then laid on the table. The Earl of LONGFORD then presented petitions to the same effect from the Protestants of Down and Monaghan. The Earl of DARNLEY presented petitions from the Protestant Dissenters of Tenterden, in Kent, in favour of the Catholics. The same Noble Lord presented similar petitions front Dulick, in Meath, and from the Catholics of Rathbov. Lord KING presented a similar petition from the Pro testant Dissenters of Park-lane, Lancashire. Lord PLUNKETT presented a petition from the Catho lics of Bandon, against the Vestry and Sub-letting Acts. Their Lordships then adjourned at Half-past Six o'clock, until Monday. PRICE 7D. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(LAST NIGHT.) The SPEAR - Ell took the chair at ten minutes before Four o'clock. Sir GEORGE HILL brought in a Bill for the regula tionof the Police of Londonderry.—Read a first time. Mr. BYNG brought in a Bill for building a bridge across the River Thames, at Staines, and for making proper approaching streets. Sir J. NICHOLL presented a petition from the Mayor and Burgesses of Marlborough against the Catholic Claims. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented similar petitions from the protestant Dissenters of Bethel Chapel, Hertford ; from West Wickham, pucks; from Bockhorn, Lancashire ; from Bradbury, Towcester, and other places in Lanca shire, against concession to the Catholics. Similar peti tions were presented from Annaduff, and another place in the county Leitrim. Major-Gen. KING presented a petition from two parishes in the county of Sligo, praying that no political power might be granted to the Roman Catholics. Mr. DOHERTY presented four petitions from places in Ireland, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. PRITTIE presented petitions from the Roman C ttholics of Roscommon, and other places, in favour of Emancipation. Mr. BELL presented two petitions from places in Cumberland, against the Catholic Claims. Lord HILL presented a petition from Louth, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. FITZGIBBON presented a petition from a parish in the count• of Limerick, in favour of concessions to the Catholics. Mr. DUGDALE presented nine petitions from places in the county of Warwick against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics ; be entirely agreed with the prayer of tile petitioners, and trusted that the constitution of the country would not be changed. Mr. LYTTLETON presented a petition from Harling ston, in the county of Suffolk, against the Catholic Claims. Mr. MUNDAY presented three petitions from places in the county of Derby against the Catholic Claims. The Hon. Member said ever since he had had a seat in that House be had veted in unison with the prayer of the peti tioners, and nothing that had taken place bad in the least changed his opinion ; he should when the measure was brought forward vote as he always had done. Colonel LYGON presented a petition against the Catho lic Claims from some place the name of which we could not catch. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER presented a petition from the inhabitants of Gloucester against any further conces sions to the Roman Catholics, and en Tuesday next he should have to present another, as he understood, very numerously and respectably signed. The lion. Member said he was afraid to contemplate the consequences that would ensue if Catholics were admitted into Parliament. On the motion that tho petition be printed, Mr. HUME said he thought no Member had expressed himself so strongly against the proposed measure as the Hon. Member for Gloucester; he had a right certainly so to do, but he (Mr. Ilume) was informed that the Hon. Member's speech had been printed and very industriously circulated in Gloucester and its vicinity, and was posted up in all the public rooms. He (Mr. II.) said when pa titions of this nature were presented to the House, it ought to be stated whether any measures had been resorted to, to inflame the public mind. Let the peti tions that were presented be spontaneous, and they would be respected by the House. He was informed that the petition which tile Honourable Member would present on Tuesday would have the signatures of people never before heard of in that part of the neighbourhood—(hear)—it had been agreed to several days since, and separate sheets of paper were sent in all directions to obtain signatures, which were to be attached to the Gloucester petition._ He should oppose the petition being received on Tuesday next, except as the petition of the undersigned. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER was not aware of any in flammatory harangues to which the H on . M em b er h a d ;, 1 - luded, and with respect to the printing of his spcuh,it ri ts published by an individual without his Hon. Member then presented a simil4r on from Swat . - fam, in the county of Gloucester., %"wiedpn. The Mr. PRITTIE presented 'petitions from the following anti Bo"Th a , p ar i s h es o f Cl onou l ty and Rossmore, places :—Town and ly!"cish of Tipperary, parishes of Con taily Par6 l )°,S of Kilmor and Ballinelogh, parish of Lockers, parishes of Killodorman, Knigh, and Monnan—all in fa vour of Catholic Emancipation. Sir WILLIAM GUISE presented a petition from Clif ton, in the county of Gloucester, praying that no further concession might be granted to the Roman Catholics. The Hon. Baronet expressed his entire concurrence in the prayer of the petition. Mr. OTWAY CAVE stated, with reference to the man ner in which the petition bad been got up, that he under stood it had been signed by a great proportion of the charity children, of the place, many of them under seven years of age, Several of these children subscribed different names ; one boy, he was told, had written no fewer than eight. It was also signed by parish paupers. Kt had received his information on this subject from a most respectable gentle man, well known to, the Hon. Baronet, who was ready to prove the fa,et, if necessary. Vl,-,, , ,petition was then brought up, read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. C. PALMIER presented a petition from Kingston upon-Thames, praying that no further concessions be granted to the Roman Catholics, In his own opinion, the question to be considered was, whether or not Parliament should alter th.. Constitution against the sense of a decided majority of the people. On the motion for bringing up the petition, Mr. TENNYSON wished to as the Hon. Gentleman whether he was aware that, as he (Mr. Tennyson) had been credibly informed, that petition had been signed by several of those juvenkle statesmen alluded to last night, who appeared in, the present day in a charaCter which scarcely kvio.uged to them. He also understood that the ketition had been signed by several of the fair sex. If th►s were the case, and more especially if the petition had been signed by children, wide as he wished the doors of that [louse to be throws open to the petitions of the people, he could not consent to a practice which would, indeed, show that the schoolmaster was abroad with a vengeance: (Hear.) Air. C. PALLSIER, with reference to what the Hen. Gentleman had said about the schoolmaster's being abroad, &c., begged leave to say, that since - the Hon. Gentleman had mentioned the subject to him ; he had looked into the . , petition, and found several names of females; but then they were female householdett. Aw . he * really could see ' no reason why a female of that description, feeling a stroag interest in the preservation of the religion of her country, was not to be considered as entitled to express her opinion. —(Hear, hear.)--lf, however, every female name wore withdrawn front the petition, the proportion of signatures to the signatures of the Hon. Gentleman's petition was still four to one. It was not possible for him to discover whether there were any signatures of charity children to his petition. But if there were. he must in justice ob serve, that Kingst-n was indebted for all its charitable in stitutions to Queen Elizabeth; and that if the children who were brought up upon the bounty of that great pro tectress of the reformed religion held her memory in ve neration, there was some excuse to be made for them.— (A laugh.) Lord TULLAMORE said, that it was time that the tocsin of alarm should be sounded throughout the country, when the House heard one of his Majesty's Ministers, zs they had heard him last night, intimate that the lower or ders ought not to petition Parliament, and that only men of genius and talent ought to exercise that privilege. He had listened with indignation and disgust to the charges which had been poured out against himself, and against other Hon. Members who had taken the same part as he had taken on this question. Their conduct had been-even termed base, factious, and infamous.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He trusted, however, that no language of that kind would deter the people of England from freely expressing their sentiments on the subject. He was far from recommend. fug violence in action, but he strongly recommended energy in the declaration of opinion, The power of the people consisted, under such circumstances, not in striking, but iu keeping in awe. As Manlius said to the Roman people, " Ostendite modo bellum ; pacem habebitis." Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN would not enter upon the question whether females, who were 'householders, ought or ought not to be permitted to sign these petitions ; but it was impossible to walk the streets, or look into places in which those petitions were deposited, without seeing that they were signed by a great many old women of both sexes.—(A laugh.)—lf public opinion were to be collected, it should be where men could show themselves, and where objections could be publicly s:ated, and expla nations given. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, not ' to prolong the conversation, but to answer the statement ' made by a Noble Lord, that he had last night asserted that no value could be placed upon petitions from the lower orders. He had never said any thing of the kind. - He was answering those who were of opinion that the number • of the signatures to a petition 'greatly enhanced its value. That he had denied ; but he had never for a moment as serted that the people at large were not fully entitled to ex press their sentiments to Parliament. General GASCOYNE said, that a petition had been brought to him that morning, against further concession to • the Catholics, by the Churchwardens of a parish which he believed was in the Ward of the Hon. Alderman who had lately spoken. The individual who brought it toll him that it had lain for signatures for a day at the Vestry and that towards the evening, a number of the pet - sons by whom it had been signed continuing to linger about the - Vestry, they had been requested to depart, when they ob served that they had been allowed a put of beer each for signing the counter petition, and requested a similar grati. fication.---(A laugh.) Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said, that if any petition had been secretly prepared iu his Ward, it was t-iitirelv un known to him. Mr. MILDMAY, to slim the baseness of the means re sorted to by the enemies of the Catholic Claims, said that a placard had been distributed about the city which he had the honour to represent, calling upon the people to sup- • port their Protestant King, and, by rallying round the Throne, to assist him in withstamding the efforts made to induce him to surrender tlva Protestant Constitution ; thus attributing to the first Personage in the Realm the base ness of being ready to turn round and undermine the Mini sters in which he affected to confide. What could be more infamous than such a mode of endeavouring to get up peti tions to Parliament ? He did not believe, however, that notwithstanding these efforts, any petition in conformity • with such sentiments would come up from Winchester. Sir C. COLE observed, that to his great comfort there was no petition preparing against Catholic Emancip•,tion in the county which he had the honour to represe•.it. Th e people there were disposed to wait tranquilly urAil they saw what the measure was which his Majek% Ministers in tended to propose. Some emissaries of 'alitchief had, how ever, come across the Severn ; and dae morning after their arrival at that place, the walls were placarded with the 'most violent denunciations against the Government, and the most earnest recommendations of the people to come forward and sign a petition to Parliament, praying that no further concession might be granted to the Catholics. The whole of Wales was now tolerably quiet; but if these emis saries got among the people, it was impossible to say what mischief they might stir up. Nothing could be more dis ' graceful than such conduct. Mr. STUART WORTLEY would adduce two in stances to show that public opinion was favourable to the emancipation of the Catholics—the one the result of - a re cent election in the North of England ; the other the can sluct of the City of London—conduct which did it the highest credit, and opened an example which he trusted would ho generally followed.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. O'NEILL having stated what he conceived. 'were the precise expressions of the , Chancellor of the Exchequer last night, and an Hon. Gentleman, whose name we were unable to learn, beginning to allude to the discussion which called forth those expressions.— The SPEAKER interfered, He was !me Hon. Gentle. men and the House would pardon him. It was impossible in the course of any discussion to prevent occasional refer ence to former debates ; but when a discussion turned en tirely on a reference to former debates, it was evidently disorderly. The petition was then brought up, read, and ordered to he printed. CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL would take the present opportu nity to ask a question of some importanc e of the Right lion. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Right Hon. Gentleman was aware that there was an order of the Holise for a call on Thursday next. The Noble Lord who moved for that call, had stated that he would not press it, until the day Ministers should bring forwola the measure they have in contemplation with respect 'to the Raman Catholics. Before the House adjourned to-night, it would be convenient to lnew whether that ca ll was likely to take effect on Thursday next, or whi'Cher it would be deferred to a later period. He "shed therefore to ask whether it was proposed, on Tkursday next, or if not then, on what day, to explain tr., the House the measure Minis :Os. have in QonteLp7;iation with respect to the Roman Ca tholics The t'HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated in 17 !'",,iy, that it was the intention of some one Member of his Majesty's Government, on behalf of that Government, to make on Thursday next an explanation to the House of the nature of the measure which his Majesty's Government had in contemplation, with respect to the removal of th,a disabilities affecting the Roman Catholics. Lord MILTON presented a petition from Sheffield, in favour of Catholic 'emancipation. He said, that the tneet ing at which the petition was resolved on had been regu larly convened by the authorities of the place. It was at tended by between 6,000 and 8,000 persons, and the peti. tion was signed by upwards of 7,000. This was a proof, that when the question was fairly stated to great bodies of the people, they did not feel that indisposition to it which was generally supposed. Mr. MARSHALL said, that the feeling in favour of the Catholics was not confined to Sheffield. He had had the honour to preside over a meeting held at Leeds, at which I(•',,000 persons were present, and on that occasion a peti tion, praying for the removal of all civil disabilities im posed on account of religious belief, was carried by a, de cided majority, notwithstanding the efforts of the Leeds Brunswick Clubs. Mr. S. WORTLEY believed that in Sheffield and other large towns in the north, opinions were nicely balanced with regard to emancipation, but throughout the country the numerical majority and popular clamour were certainly opposed to it. Lord MILTON presented another petition of a similar nature from certain Dissenters in York. Mr. G. SMITH presented two petitions of the same description from parishes in Cork. Mr. TRANT presented thro petitions from Ireland against emancipation. Colonel TRENCH presented a petition from the parish of Chevely, in Cambridgeshire. The i petitioners, after expressing their opinion of the dangers that would ensue from the granting of concessions, declared that they had full confidence in the wisdom of Parliament.. _ Mr. A. ELLIS presented three petitions from different parts of Kilkenny, one in favour of the Catholic claims, and the other two against the vestry act. Lord J. RUSSELL presented a petition from the mer. chants, hankeri, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of the city of Gloucester, and another from certain Unitarians in Bristol, praying for the emancipation of the Catholics. Mr. TREVOR presented three petitions, of an opposite nature froin different places in the county of Carmarthen. Mr. CROMPTON presented a petition frou► Unitarians in Derby, in favour of emancipation. Mr. DENISON Fesented,a petition from Kingston-on-
