Mr. BUTLER CLARKE said that having attended choely to the discussion which had just taken Place, he mus t Ray that, however the Hon. Member for Colchester might have qualified it on this occasion, there could be l ittle doubt that he had said that the settlement of the Cathelie Question would lead to a consideration of the emoluments of the Established Church.

Clarke) who had the honour to represent a Southern county in Ireland, almost entirely inhabited by Roman ,Cat h olics, could p os i t i ve l y state on the subject of tithes there was not the least dissatisfaction, The Tithe Com mutation Act had enabled the people to get rid of the evils they had formerly endured.

He en treated his Honourable Friend also to recollect that he had maintained the elective franchise untouched in the corporate towns, in order that it might not be !epresented as a measure of inequality and injustice.— fhere were many minsiderations of the utmost importance involved in this question.

The Right 11,x1. Gen tleman, in his able and excellent speech i n Thursd4, had alluded to a nmnbur of lion. Gentlemen who had taken his former view of this subject, but had done so silently. He was one of that el iss ; and be could tell the House in a few wores why he had not 'oftener troubled it with a speech, bes.aus: he bad looked on this question as a matter too great f,r him to grapple with.--(Hear.)—The Right Hon. Gen tleman had also drawn a comparison between the number of Members returned on the Catholic 'lnd Protestant sides from the most populous counties and the largest towns, awl he had made the numbers out to be nearly equal. But this was all before the last election. Luck at what hap d since the beginning of the Session, when the public were made acquainted with the intentions of his Majesty's Government. The only two popular elections were those of Oxford and Ne :ark.—(Cheers and laughter.)—Yes, there was another—Carlisle. After a few words from 11r. D. Davenport, Sir F. Blake, Mr. Hudson.

He would only trouble the House with one sentence from the pcti • tion : the petitioner sal 1, thpt although he had preached enough to make old Antichrist ashamed of himself, yet he was informed that the Pope sat now as quietly in his chair as be did before the petitioner preached his sermons.—(A laugh.)—To be printed.

RICE, in rising to move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the Rights of Executors, observed that the measure he was about to submit to the House was the same in every respect us that which bad last Session re ceivesl their assent, and which was afterwards lost in ano, Cher place. He should not, therefore, trouble the House by entering into any explanation of the principles of the Bill, but merely remind them that its object was to put an end to that state of uncertainty which prevailed with re spect to the residue of the property of testators, after the discharge of all specific bequests. The inconveniences of the uncertainty which prevailed on this subject had been felt as long back as 1725 ; and in 1726 a Bill wai intro duced into the House of Lords fur the purpoie of deciding the question, by giving the residue to the executor. That Bill was, however, thrown out in the Commons, as a mat ter of reprisal, the two Houses being then at valiance.—, The present Bill, which, he was : happy to say, had the approbation el his Learned Friends the Solicitor-General and the Member for Weymouth (Mr. Sugden)—was in tended to give the residue, in all cases of doubts to those who stood next in consanguinity ; a course which, he be lieved, would be found the moat equitable that could be adopted. The Hon. Member then moved for " Leave to bring in a Bill for the better Regulation of the Disposal of the Residue of the Effects of Testators." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was not disposed to agree with the Hon. Member, that the difficulties which alendeil this question would be removed by the Bill which he wished to introduce. He had seen a good many of the cases which arose out of the questions between executors and the next of kin upon thii subject, and he could safely say, he never found a greater degree of hardship' on one side than en . the other. In his opinion, there were no per sons in this country - so ignorant as not to know that the property which they did not dispose of by their will Would g0 . .t0 the executor; and Be was satisfied that if they once admitted-the principle, that those next in consanguinity were to lay claim to residues, it would h :ve the effect of. letting in unheard-of and unknown relations, while the alteration in the law, according to his Tense of the progress of such knowledge, could scarcely become known t those who were interested in it for at least a century. The Learned Gentleman, in conclusion, seemed to be of opinion that the law, as it now stood, was much Itsi objectionable than the proposed alteration: After a few wo r ds froit Dr. LUSHLNGTON in de fence of the Bill, and in condemnation of the expence to whirls the present state of the law gave rise. Mr. ROBERT GRANT concurred in the expediency of altering the law, and be thought the best principle of alteration would be that of the proposed Bill. The law, as it now stood, consisted in an arbitrary assumption made on the one hand, 'by the common law, and in a mass of equally arbitrary assumptions opposed to this, on the other, by the courts of equity. The common law assumed that every man who appointed executors meant them to take beneficially, if he did not say the contrary; a position de nied by Lords Smelt: cad Macclesfield and other great Chancellors. Equity, in order to limit the rule, set up against it various presumptions, which it called either violent or irresistible. if it resistible, as when a legacy was left to an executor expressly_ for his trouble, the executor was of course excluded. If only vio lent, as when a legacy was left to him simply, he might go into parole eiidence to sustain his common law right, and then the next of kin might adduce similar evidence on the other side.. The lion. Gentleman, after illustrating the absurdity of these presumptions, said that the chief evil however was, the profuse admission of parole evidence. This had been greatly lamented by Lord Eldon, and Lord Alvanley had pronounced the state of the law to be dis graceful, and had hoped the legislature would interfere. The proposed Bill would be a subordinate statute of distri butions ; applying the rule of that undid statute to cases of partial intestacy, and on the same principle, viz. that to give what was undisposed of to the relations of the deceased would probably be right, and at any rate could not be far wrong. • Mr. S. RICE, in reply, said that where doubt existed, it was the duty of the Legislature to remove it. The prin ciple of his Bill would be, where that doubt existed, to give the benefit of it in favour of consanguinity.—Le.tve was given to bring in the Bill. MUTINY BILL—CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. Mr. HUME, on the bringing up of the Report on the Mutiny Bill, begged leave to advert to a subject to which he bad adverted in form e r S ess i ons o f Parliament—namely, Corporal Punishments in the Army. The object of his present observations was to induce the Right Ilon. Baronet (Sir H. Hardinvp). to limit the amount of lashes given in the army. Ile priceived that so many lashes as one thou sand were allowed to be given ; he did not know that thnt number had ever been inflicted, but he objected to the power of that number being inflicted. Ile thought that the number ought at least to be limited to 500. Again, he objected to the power of inflicting so heavy a punishment belonging-.not oily to a General Court Martial, but also ettendieg equaily_to District Courts Martial, which con pisted of only nine officers; and to Detachment Courts Martial, which consisted of only,three officers. He would propose the limitation of the punishment in the case of General Courts Martial to 500 lashes—in that of District Courts Martial •to 300—and in that of Detachment Courts Alartirl to 100 or 200. It was. l.ighly objection able that the same .power of infliction sh..uld be entrusted to tribunals so differently constituted. The Hon. Member concluded by moving an amendment to the 9th clause, to the effect expn ssed in his speech, for " the limitation of the lashes inflicted in the several Cour s Martial." Sir H. HARDINGE said the Hon. Member's objection to the different species of Courts Martial were incorrect. It was not accurate to say that the three Courts-Martial had the same 'pooers and authority. The Detachment Coons-Martial was only carried on in time of war and in foreign Countries, and was rendered necebe oy by the mature of the service 'abroad.• The !lon. Miqnber was also :n error - in supposing the General Courts-Martial had ea-extensive powers. It' was no such thing. General Courts-Martial had the power iif inflictin g transportation and death, but Dis trict Courts-Martizil had not? - and, - moreover, the sentences of the latter tribunal Were referti.d to the General com mending the district, at d were subject to his confirmation. The Right-Hon: Gentleman proceeded to remark, that corporal punishment had recently derteised in the - service Thee Were instances, even of regiments 700 itrong, in which not more 'than six corporal puuishnient were in-; flitted in twenty years. (Hear, hear.) He deprecated the proposal of the Hon. Gentleman, that corporal punish ment should not he inflicted' in thin country and yet might be inflicted abroad. - The effect of this arrangement would be, to render foreign service unpalatable to the British soldier, if be thought he was likely to be subject to a punishment from. which lie was exezrpt at home. The regulations of the late Duke of York, and of the late Com mander-in-Chief (the Duke of Wellington), as well as o f the present (Lord Hill), were calculated to repress cor poral punishments ; and, moreover, the object of the Hun. Gentleman was attained by .another Clause in the which gave a discretion::ry power to Commanding Officers to change the corperal punishment for punishment of an other kind. . Mr HUME said, that what he eimprainedofWas-- a 1..• •Ln.e.rid 6alles WA.* tul i n flicted on any man. He wi.ha to . know if the Right Hon. Baronet coral,) admit of a 'eduction of it ? Sir H. HABDING7., after a few Obeervationg fiom Mr. TRA NT, which were iostetible in the gallery, rePlied, th although rine thou.and lashes were allowed, yet he did not know of that nn ober h icing been inflicted. There was always, on the o,ca.,ion rat punishments of this kind, a medi cal person 'Halo- whose app‘rohatbn the scuience was carried into ,ff-er, so that there "was no likelihood of any excess of punishment being inflicted. The Amendment was tken negatived without A'division. - . After some further discussion, the Report was agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to .morrow. The nirine Mutiny Bill was read a third time and p as . e d. Mr. TRANT presented eix petitions from various parishes in Yorkshire, &c. against the Catholic Claims. Adjourned at a Quarter before Ten o'clock. OXFORD UNIVERSITY TALENT. (From the Times.) A Sunday Paper having animadverted on Lott! Mor rth's assertion, tltat the talent, and more especially the rising talent, of the University, was in favour of Mr. Peel at the late contest at Oxford, the best way is at once to state the facts ; and having by means of a correspondent procured a list of those voters who either obtained the highest honours - under the old system of examination, or the first classes under the new, and al , o of those who lave been distinguished by the academical prizes (which distinc tion is, after all, the best criterion -of talent, though the ch:s4es may be the beat criterion of early acquirement), we lay the list of names before our.readers. From this list it will appear, that out of 152 first-class-men, 101 voted for Mr. Peel, and. 51 for • Sir 11. ingbs ; and that of prize men, twenty-three voted for Mr. Peel, and four for Sit H. Inglis. - Of Christchurch-men (the College of both candidates), 39 first-classmen voted for Mr. Peel, and eight for Sir 11. Inglis ; ami of the prizemen of Christchurch, every one, without exception, voted for Mr. Peel.
