Mr. Scott presented papers from the Court of Exche quer in Ireland. Several Private Bills were read a second time, others a third time, and passed. The Duke of WELLINGTON brought down the copy of- the 19th Report of the Commissioners of Charities, agreeable to the address to his Majesty. Lord ROSEBERY presented a petition from tie Royal Borough of Stirling, praying for the removal of Catholic disabilities. Lord CALTUORPE presented petitions from:Birming ham and Hatfield in favour of the Catholics. Earl GREY presented two petitions from Colchester to the same effect. Lord HOLLAND. Ta) came into the House supported on crutches, considered the regulation come to, not to ad dress the House on presenting petitions, as objectionable, and such as would interfere, if universally adopted, with all the ancient privileges of petitioners. Though he felt it unnecessary to enter into a full description on this subject, yet he thought it his duty to detail the nature of the petitions he (Lord Holland) had to present, on this as well as on any other occasion. The peti tioners were nearly all Protestants, or Protestant Dis senters, and therefore they did not consider the measure about to be brought into the House, al affecting :their rights in the slightest degree, and no persons would be more likely, were there any grounds for supposing that it would he the means of subjecting his Majesty's subjects to the thraldom of Popery, than themselves to oppose it. One of the petitions was from the Protestant Di'senters of three denominations within twelve miles of London, a society which had been established for nearly a century. Its members were experienced and intelligent persons ; a meeting was held to consider the propriety of a peti tion to this House, at which there was a Majority of nearly three to one in favour of presenting the petition, which prayed for the removal of Catholic disabilities. The Noble Lord then presented a petition from the south Presbytery of Dublin, from the Presbyterian denomina tion of Carter-lane, Doctors' Commons, together with about 60 or 70 others, all praying that their Lordships would grant Emancipation. One of t , le petitions was from Nottingham ; the Noble Lord stated that another petition had been presented from that place much more numerously signed. He was instructed that that petition had been signed by every person in the gaol of that place, and wkat was much more singular, it was against emancipation. The Noble Lord thought that those per sons, of all others, would not have been expected to have signed against emancipation.—(Great laughter.)— The Noble Lord then presented a petition from Glasgow in favour of Emancipation. EDINBURGH PETITION. The Earl of HADDING TON rose with feelings of great satisfaction to present a petition from certain most respectable inhabitants of the City of Edinburgh in favour of Emancipation. He was sure that no petition which had been laid on their Lordships' table was deserving of more attention, whether with reference to the place from which it came, or the great learning, talent, and acquire ments of those whose signatures were affixed to it. The place from which it came was, it would be admitted, the most Protestant of any of this Protestant empire—the capital of the most Protestant of all the countries which had embraced the principles of the Refurmation,e—which, next to the Metropolis of England, had been most distin guished for its enlightened and liberal views. This peti tion had been agreed to at a meeting convened by public advertisement, and at which from 1,800 to 2,000 persons were present. Many of their Lordships bad no doubt seen, in the public papers, an account of that meeting, and had read some of the admirable speeches which were there delivered. If he mentioned the names of many who attended that meeting, it would show that it was not one which originated in any party feeling, for it would appear that men of all denominations, and of different parties, joined on that occasion in praying the Legislature to abolish the civil disabilities affecting their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. The chair at the meeting was filled by a worthy Baronet who had filled the civic chair as Chief Magistrate when his Majesty honoured the Northern Me tropolis with his presence; and he (Lord Haddington) was sure that all who hail the pleasure of knowing Sir William Arbuthnot would admit that a more amiable or respectable man, whether in public or private life, did not exist. The first resolution of the meeting was moved by a moat distinguished man, who had the honour of being at the head of the bar of Scotland. —When he mentioned the name of Sir James Mon crieff he named one who was distinguished not only by his own great talents and acquirements, but dis tinguished by his inheritance, not merely of the name and rank of his father, but for that of his enlightened principles, and his devoted attachment to the Church of Scotland, of which he was one of the greatest ornaments. The name and principles of Sir Henry Moncrieff, and of his worthy descendant, the Dean of Faculty, should be in themselves a guarantee that the measure which they supported was not one which would tend to subvert the Protestant religion. Those who saw the next names attached to the petition, would readily be lieve it possible that the great measure which they advo cated might be carried through without any danger to the Constitution or the Protestant establishments of the coun try. Those were the names of Jeffrey, Colborne, Murray, and, he might add, those of his relation the Soli citor-General Hope. The most distinguished speech made on that occasion was that of the venerable Dr. Chalmers, which most certainly was one of the most eloquent ad dresses be had ever read. That great Divine saw well the props and defences which had been placed round the Pro testant worship in the penal code ; yet, for the sake of the advaucetnent of that religion, he implored their Lordships to remove those props. He (Dr. Chalmers) had con tended in a strain of unrivalled eloquence, that the Pro testant religion had made its way through all difficulties by the force of naked unassisted truth—(Hear, hear) — that at a time when real difficulties were opposed to its progress, it triumphed over them, and spread itself over the land by the force of truth alone; and he went on to prove that the greatest obstacles which the principles of the re formation had to encounter in the Sister Island were those props and fences which the law had placed about them in that code of exclusion. He (Lord Haddington) was of the same opinion ; for, however strange it might sound in the ears of those who thought that the Protestant reli eion was best supported by such props, the Reverend Divine had proved unanswerably that those props were its greatest obstacles, because they enlisted the best passions of men against it. The petition was also signed by another distinguished man— one who had contributed more to the delight of his felli4-ntor tals, for his readers and admirers were not limited to his own country, or the empire to which he belonged, than, he might almost say, any other writer—certainly more than any other writer of the present day.

This unique Pre paration unites the active medicinal properties of the most efficient Saline Purgatives, with all the agreeableness of a glass of Soda Water ; the disengagement of the Carbonic Acid Gas, during the exhibition, renders it peculiarly grateful to the Stomach, correcting Nausea and Sickness.. It has been found of great service by several individuals subject to attacks of the G , .ut, for allaying Irritation, cor recting Acidity, and abating Fever. As a Cooling Purga tive fur Children, it is peculiarly acceptable from its agree able taste, and no less so as an adjunct to a Mercurial Pill over night. A Dose taken early in the morning will re store the tone of the Stomach, and allay those febri:e symptoms consequent on indulging too freely i n th e l uxu ri e s of the table. Its portablaness and the convenience with which it is mixed recommend it to the attention of all Travellers, particularly those visiting or residing in hot. climates.

University, by 21 bankers and officers of banking estab lishments by 50 clergymen, by a vast number of the mem bers of tile learned profession of the law, by writers to the signet, by solicitors, by between 200 and 300 merchants and traders, and the rest of the petitioners were made up of small proprietors, burgesses, and householders Ile therefore said, that no petition had ever been presented to Parliament of which the great bulk and mass of the signers wet e more competent to form a correct opinion on the question, than the one which he now offered to their Lord ship,' notice. He had omitted to mention that the peti tion was also signed by 128 of the practising barristers, forming a large majority of the whole Scottish bar. Thus the bars of England, Ireland, and Scotland, ha 1 peti tioned their Lordships to remove the disabilities which pressed upon their Roman Catholic countrymen, and he must conf, ss it appeared to him very extraordi nary, that if, as some persons chose to represent, the granting of the Catholic claims would endanger the Constitution of 1688, this view of the questi in had not suggested itself to the learned, studious, and sagacious members of the bars of England, Ireland, and Scotland, who had petitioned Parliament. The bars of the three countries had concurred in petitioning the Legislature to restore to their Catholic fellow-subjects those rights which they enjoyed in the olden time, which were suspended from necessity, but which ehould now be restored, because that necessity no longer existed. The result of his ana lysis of the petition was, that it was signed by upwards of 7,600 persons. He understood that a petition of an op posite nature, signed by 18,000 persons, would shortly be presented to the House from Edinburgh. Yesterday a pe tition had been presented to their Lordships, signed by 113,000 persons, and the Glasgow petition was signed by 36,000. He did not consider, however, that this was a question to be decided by the number of signature`. He said this with the most perfect respect for the right of pe titioning, and the mo,t perfect good will towards those who differed from him in opinion. If the question were to be decided by counting the number of names attached to petitions, the cause of emancipation must he abandoned; but he conceived that Parliament ought to look to the in terests of the country—it ought to look to the intelligence of those who petitioned in favour of concession. It ap peared to him that the great bulk of those who had signed petitions on the other side (though there were many men of great intelligence among them) had signed without pos sessing an adequate knowledge of what they were sinn ing. To the petitions of those persons Parliament ought not to pay so much repect as to those which emanated from the better informed classes. How was it possible that a hard-working industrious labourer or artisan should be able to salve a difficult question of state policy ? It ap peared to him that he was casting no imputation on those classes in expressing this opinion.—(Hear.)—It was quite impossible that they should know anything about the mat ter. They had less time for consideration than the richer classes, and consequently they were more easily deluded by the representations of interested men. In all parts of Great Britain, the clergy had treated the question only as a religious one. If it were a question whether we should have a Popish Parliament, a Popish Constitution, and a Popish Church—if it were a question whether we should be all Catholics instead of being all exclusively Protestants, those who petitioned against emancipation would be perfectly competent to decide upon it ; but it was because the question was not what the petitioners conceived it to be, that he did not regard their numbers, and thought that the Legislature should pay more respect to the expressed wishes of those who were intelligent,who perfectly understood what were the advantages to be oh. tained by repealing the exclusive laws, and what were the dangers which would result from maintaining them.— (Hear.)—The Noble Lord concluded with reading the pe tition, which was ordered to lie on the teble. The Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY pre sented a petition from the clergy of the archdeaconry of Derby and three others from places in Staffordshire, pray ing that no further concessions might granted to the Catholics. The Rigist Rev. Prelate observed (as we un derstood) that he could not afford his full concurrence to the prayer of the petitions. He would decline expressing a decided opinion with respect to the measure proleised by Government, until he saw the shape in which it would be introduced to that House. He trusted that when the mea sure should come before their Lordships, it would be dis cussed without imputation on the one hand, or menace on the other.—(Hear.)—A very serious responsibility rested on those who had proposed a great alteration of what were conceived to be the standard bulwarks of the British Con stitution ; but an equal responsibility rested on those who rejected this opportunity of making a change (if it ought to be made), and thereby consigned 7,00Q000 of their fellow subjects to interminable feuds, and perhaps the hor rors of civil war.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of WINCIIILSEA presented ten petitions against concession from Dissenters in Kent. The Noble Earl observed, that the vast majority of the people of this country considered the question to be a religious as well as civil one. The Earl of LONGFORD presented a petition from the county of Westmeath against concession. Earl BROWNLOW presented a petition from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Lincoln, and 15 other petitions from places in Lincolnshire, all against concession. Earl GROSVENOR presented petitions from Chester, Stockport, and Congleton, in favour of concession. The Noble Earl condemned the efforts which had been made to persuade the people that the question was one of a religious nature. I.le was convinced that the majority of the intel ligent part of the community was in favour of emancipa tion, and the question was making progress even amongst the lower orders. An attempt to get up a county meet ing in Cheshire to petition against emancipation had failed. The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition in favour of Roman Catholic emancipation, from a parish in Ireland. The Noble Earl also presented a petition to the same effect (which had been put into his hands by a Noble Baron who sat behind him, and who, among the 50 or 60 pe• titions he had presented to-night, had omitted to lay the present one on the table), from the undersigned persons of the Unitarian persuasion meeting at South-place Chapel, Finsbury, London. The Earl of CLARE presented petitions in favour of Roman Catholic emancipation, from two places in Ireland. Lord PLUNKETT presented a petition to the same effect from a parish in Ireland. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, certain Peers were added to the list of the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the coal-trade. Adjourned to Monday.

ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the Order of tl:e Day for the further consideration f the report upon the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. favour of Catholic Emancipation ; by Lord Gorge Caven dish, from the freeholders of Eekingtol, in t! e c ,unty of Sir GEORGE ROSE felt compelled to protest agair st the assumption that this was a political question alone. Colonel TRENCH felt bound to declare, that hi, opi nions on this question were clunged. He owed a duty to his country which he would discharge. The condition of Ireland was so full of danger, th it !here could he no doubt of.tbe necessity of the measures recommended in his Ma jesty's Speech. He eulogised the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, and the Right Hon. Gent. (Mr. Peel), for their firmness and decision. Ireland must either be coerced or conciliated; and having witnessed what a civil war was, he had no choice but to adopt the &ternative of con ciliation. He approved also of the Rill for regulating the elective franchise of Ireland. Mr. BRADSHAW spoke in support of the Bill, which he approved of for its simplicity and clearness. He also ac quiesced in the other Bill as part of the great measme, and because it would tend to the benefit of Ireland. Mr. O'NEILL opposed the Bill. He would not have objected to qualified concession, but to unlimited conces sion he was opposed. If the Roman Catholics would not be satisfied without being admitted to seats in Parliament, and to the Privy Councils—if we held Ireland by so slight a tie that America or any other hostile power could raise a rebellion there any day—the sooner the question was brought to issue the better. Mr. GREEN could not look at the measure which had been brought forward by his Majesty's Ministers without distrust. In the first place, he dreaded the effec tof it with respect to the Constitution of the country, and he also thought it most certain that it would prove injurious to the Protestant Established Church of Ireland. Mr. EWART—The Hon. Member for Hull has stated; that he has heard no new arguments on this subject now before the House. Are any new arguments necessary ? Has not our course been one of uniform evil in Ireland. Our policy has run parallel with the misfortunes of that country. Is it not time to diverge from such a course? But are there no new reasons for concession? Will the Hon. Gentleman deny that there is in Ireland, on the Ca tholic side, a majority—a majority increasing in wealth and intelligence ; on the side of the Protestants, a minority now divided in opinion. What have we then? Or one side, an increasing majority—on the other, not a minority only, but a disunited minority. So much for the argu ments against the measure. What remedies have been proposed on the other side? The Hon. Member for Newark recommends education and the introduction of capital into Ireland. Can he constrain and cor.troul the flow of capital? Is not the present century too late for such a measure? It would have been well in more ancient times—in the days of Psammis, or Chosroes. or Ci:eops, or some other of the Tory Kings of primeval E.typt. Bat the 19th century, the reign of George IV., with Eogland for the scene, is somewhat too late for these arbitrary acts of despotic benevolence. The only other remedy suggested is the fatal one of coercion. Coercion may be tried. It may even be tried with success. But let the advocates nt so fatal an expedient remember, that in such a case victory is not always triumph : to be defeated is not to be sub duel. There is a long and dreary interval between eon-, quest and subjection-- " For tho' the fight be won All is not won ; the unconquerable will And study of revenge, immortal hate, With purpose never to submit or yield, And what else is not to be overcome." It is impossible to contemplate this great measure other wise than in two aspects ; one with reference to the past —the other prospectively to the future. It is impossible to separate from our consideration the remembrance of those great men, whom we almost envy for having stood alone in this cause, and who vindicated what we now assert with a majority in a glorious minority of the Legis lature. To none is the tribute of praise more justly due than to that great Statesman, the echoes of whose eloquence, still lingers on these walls. Time and truth now justify, as they ever will, the efforts of departed genius, and history stands ready to consecrate his name. With regard to the future, this great act will promote what Mr. Pitt dnlared to be the object of the Irish union, " tranquillising Ireland, and attaching it to this country." By tranquillizing Ire land, we shall introduce capital into Ireland, by promoting the security of property. It is vain to expect capital to flow where that security does not exist. The Right Hon. Member for Inverness had stated in a speech which it would be presumption to praise, that the argument from expediency had been too much relied on. We had not sufficiently considered the argument from justice. In my humble opinion, it is expedient to be just. This is the rule—a contrary course is the exception. He hailed this great measure on the general principles of universal tolera tion. Admiral EVANS said, that the consequence of Bill was, that the Constitution was now fairly at tea, and so many planks in the vessel had started, that she was no longer sea worthy.--(A laugh. )—The Protestant ascendancy was thrown overboard, and the forty-shilling freeholders were thrown overboard.—(Laughter,) —and tlre only hope +;eerned to be, that a sail might heave in sight as they had put a broom at the mast head,—(A laugh.)—For his own part, he did not see what was to save them all from drowning, Mr. CRIPPS spoke a few words, but they were far the most part inaudible. We understood the Hon. Gent. ta express himself as a dissentient to the The Marquis of BLANDFORD was of opinion that the effect of this Bill would be to sweep away extensive and adequate securities, and to substitute none in their place. —(Hear.) —What he wanted to know was, how, if this Bill passed into a law, they were to controul the in creasing strength of the Catholic Church ? It was in vain to hope that this measure would not lead to tr, ac h worse effects than had been anticipated; and h; w ou ld to such a measure, had been misled t l ev i l Councilors, y take upon himself to say, that his Majesty, by men who had ventured to arr- g _.
