We la.ely alluded to the similarity of the measures an flounced from the throne of England, and the provisions of the Edict of Nantes by which Henry IV. founded the re liginus peace of his kingdom, on an equality of civil rights to all his Christian subjects. Those least versed in the history of that period are acquainted with the deplorable state of France when the King promulgated this great act o f justice, policy, and courage. The League, which had headed the rebellion against his preilecessor, and pro cured his assassination—which had resisted the claim of Henry himself, and maintained the civil war for a consider- I able period after his accession—had been put down ; but its factious adherents were still numerous and formidable.

A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER of . the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on • THURSDAY, the 19th day of February, 1829, • • Resolved, THAT this Corporation, in common with all his Majesty's subjects, are deeply interested in the prevention of Crime throughout the kingdom, and particu larly in the City of London and County of Middlesex. That notwithstanding Lis Majesty's Commission is issued, and right Sessions are yearly held for the Trial of Prisoners in the Gaol of Newgate, the crime of Forgery still prevails to an alarming extent, and numerous offenders have escaped with impunity. That in the year 1818, they expressed their sense of the numerous evils which resulted from the irregularities of the Criminal Law, by which upwards of 200 crimes, very different in their degree of enormity, are equally sub ject to the punishment of Death ; which is enacted not • only for bnrglary, for rape, for murder, and for treason, 'but for various crimes unattended with acts of cruelty or .violince. • That they are confirmed in the opinions then expressed, • that the Criminal Laws which inflicted such severity of punishment which was not adapted to the crime, often entailed the evil and misery which it was framed to prevent. That such erroneous principles were explained two ern "lea ago, by the Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas More, Recorder of this City, and Lord Bacon, who admonished ttociety, that the acerbity of the law ever deadens the execu tion, and that the efficacy of Criminal Law depends upon ito being adapted to the moral and religious feelings of the Comnrinity. That these sentiments were long advocated by the ever be lamented Sir Samuel Romilly, and were expressed in Parliament by that enlightened Judge, Sir Wm. Grant, late Abuiter of the Rolls, who said " It is not by the fear of death, but by exciting in the community a sentiment of horror against any particular act, that we can hope to deter offenders from committing it, altliough the threat of death may tend to increase that horror, when it is in con formity with the public sentiment of the crime. It must be remembered that, when it is in opposition to this senti meut, it may have a tendency to diminish it. If intimida tion will prevent crime, why should not the terror of death attend the most trifling offences." That the two most alarming offences to public credit in a commercial country, are fraudulent concealment of property by Bankrupts, and the crime of Forgery-- That in the year 1732 the punishment of death was en• acted for the crime of fraudulent bankrupts. In the year 1818, it was reported by a Committee of the house of Commons, that the law was so severe and so repugnant to the common sentiments of mankind, that it became totally inefficient in its operations—and an Act was passed in the first year of his present Majesty, that so much of the said Act as inflicts the punishment of death for this offence should be repealed. That evidence of the same nature was • given with respect to the Excise Laws; and the pnoish lgent of death has been almost wholly abolished ; and another Act has been recently passed, which enables the Judges to suspend the sentence of death where it is not in tended to be carried into execution. That although offenders were constantly executed for the forgery of IL notes for several years during the auspen • :1 611 of cash p a y men t s b y t h e B an k o f E ng l an d —get during the year 1814 10,30 notes were forged 1815 14,055 1616 21,860 1517 28,412 per Tha t notwithstanding the numerous executions that took , the inefficiency of the law, and the increase of crime n " . Peat, a privilege was extended to some prosecti -"1 to enable " a person accused of Forgery, to avoid the 41)"ia il l Pinaent of d eat h, if h e w i l l confess h i mself guilty of That--tCrhien evenrsiutyally called the minor offenc e . of the law against Forg er y, h as ren .74,e.74is t qu severity ineffectual to protect the public credit, y m u mmy persons considered as a violation of thatjus , for w hi ch this country has been for centuries proudly entinent, and injurious to the character of the nation. Resolved—That petitions, founded on the above Re aohttion, be presented to both Houses of Parliament, pray ing the alteration of the punishment of death in case of Forgery. And the drafts of petitions being prepared, were read end agreed to. Ordered —That the said petitions be fairly transcribed, l 'igned by the town clerk, nreventd to the Rght honourable the House of Lor a ds, d an p d the e Id onourable i the Ho use of Commons. 1) Orde re d — T hat the Sheriffs, attended by the Remem- Zancer, do wait up on an d request , some L or d i n Parlia ;trot to present the said petition, to the Right Honourable House of Lords. h tin Order e d —T hat the Sheriffs, attended by the Remem °er,- do p resent t h e pet i t i on to the Honourable the °l li* of Commons.

GENERAL ZAREMBA.—This General had a very long Polish name ; the King of Prussia had heard of it, and one day said to him, " Pray, Zaremba, what is your name ?" The General told him the whole of it. " Heavens !" said the King, " the Devil himself has not such a name." " Why should he?" replied Zaremba, " he is no relation of mine." Among the Irish who accompanied Montrose in his campaigns, was one of whom an anecdote has been preserved, which is at once valuable as showing their spirit on that occasion, and curious as a proof ti at the Irish national character was then precisely the same as at the present day. A cannon ball having shot off the leg of this brave man, so as only to leave it attached by a small piece of flesh or skin, and he perceiving that his comrades were somewhat affected at the sight, instead of showing the slightest symptom of vexation or pain himself, he cried out Never mind, my lads; if I can serve no more en foot, my Lord Marquis must just put me among the horse ;" and del berately pulling out a clasp-knife, he cut. the limb fairly off, and handed it to a comrade "for burial with the rest of the dead."—Constable's Miscellany. The King himself had been obliged to change his religion in conformity with their demands, or for the purpose of disarming their vengeance. In this change of faith he had the approbation of the most prudent Protestants, who, to appease the majority of the nation, were willing to forego the pride and triumph of having given their enemies a Protestant Monarch, provided they could by his means secure a solid protection to themselves and the professors of the creed which he had been obliged to renounce. Various obstacles occurred to delay the execu tion of his intentions, and the converted Monarch's Pro testant subjects, by whose blood and exertions he bad 'won his victories and obtained his crown, began to suspect his sense of gratitude, or to murmur at the tardy fulfilritent of his engagements. To satisfy th em , h e i ssue d, on t h e I st of April - , 1598, from Nantes (where he then was), the famous edict of that name, which not only gave liberty of conscience to his Protestant subjects, but opened to them all Government employments, the Parliaments, and every branch of the Administration, as well as to Catholics.— ' This edict the Parliament of Paris (which, though only a Court of Justice, claimed the privilege of giving validity to the Royal decrees by registration) refused at first to re gister. His Majesty on this ordered two deputies from each Chamber of the Parliament to be sent for, and ad dressed them in a memorable speech, which deserves as much to be cited for its spirit and liberality as the decree itself. It seas with the intention of introducing the most essential part of it that we have made the above statement : " I take in pod part the advice of all my servants. When what they give me is good, I embrace it. If I find their opinion better than mine, I very willingly surrender mine own. There is not one of you to whom, if he should come to me, and say, ' Sire, you do a thing that is every way unjust,' I would not listen very willingly. My object now is to terminate the circulation of false reports. There must be no longer any distinction between Catholics and Hugonots. All differences must be lost in that of good Frenchmen. Let the Catholics convert the Hugonot by the example of their good lives; but occasion must not be given to the spread of false rumours through the whole kingdom. You are the cause of this, by not having promptly verified the edict. " I have received more blessings and favours from God than any one of you. I desire not to be ungrateful. My disposition is not inclined to ingratitude, though towards God I must always seem so. But, at any rate, I hope that he will always give me grace to form good intentions. lam a Catholic, and I desire to see nobody in my do minions affecting to be more a Catholic than myself. To be a Catholic from interest is worth nothing. " It is said that I wish to favour those of the Protestant religion, and an attempt is made to excite distrust in me. If I desired to ruin the Catholic religion, I should proceed in this manner,—l should call in hither 20,000 men, and expel all whom I pleased ; and when I ordered any one eut, he would be obliged to obey at his peril. I should say- 4 Gentlemen Judges, you must verify the edict, or I shall put you tl death.' But in doing so I should be a tyrant. I have not conquered this kingdom by tyranny. I have won it by my rights and my toils. " Your delays and your difficulties give occasion to strange agitations in the city. Processions have been got up against the edict, even at Tours, where they ought least of all to have taken place, as its Archbishop is of my no mination. Processions have likewise been got up at Mans to deter the Judges from verifying the edict. That has only been done from malic. Take care that such things do not happen any more. I beg you not to give me oc casion to speak of this affair again. Let this be the last time. Do as I have desired, I command and beseech you." An address like this is rather peremptory; bucllenry knew well both the times in which he lived, the extent of his own power, and the character of the parties with whom he had to deal. The Leaguers of Paris were not to be entreated into justice and liberality towards their oppo nents—they were to be commanded ; and the Catholic pro cessions of intolerance in those days could only be put down like the Orange violence of our own times, by She strong arm of the law.— Times.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at a quarter before five o'clock-. Mr. MuNnEur. presented the first Report of the Com missioners appointed to ,regulate certain Fees of the Ge neral Registry House Erlinhurgh. Mr. SPICFR presented the Annual Returns of the Chel sea Hospital. The House then adjourned for a quarter of an hour. The Earl of DALHOUSIE presented a petition from the inhabitants and freeholders of the county of Inverness, praying for an alteration in the laws of entail. The Marquis of SLIGO presented petitions from several parts in Ireland i❑ favour of Catholic Emancipation. DANGEROUS ASSOCIATIONS' BILL. The Honse then went into a Committee on the Bill for the Suppression of dangerous Associations in Ireland. The Bill went through a Committee without any opposi tion ; report ordered to be brought up on Monday, with a verbal amendment of " shall have been," for " will be," —moved by the Lord Chancellor. Lord KING presented a petition from the Roman Ca tholics of Killarney in the county of Kerry, against the Sub-letting and Vestry Acts. THE DUNALLY PEERAGE. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY uuderstood that the papers had not arrived from Ireland in the matter of the Dunally peerage. He therefore moved the adjournment of the Committee of Privileges from Monday to Tuesday next. The Earl of FALMOUTH presented a petition from the inhabitants of Tetthering in Gornwall, and several others, against the Catholic Claims. The Earl of LONGFORD presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of a parish in the county of Limerick, against further concessions and the Subletting Act. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from Catholics, in a parish in Galway, in favour of the Catholics. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition from a Mr. Andrew Watson, calling himself an Alder man of Limerick, which stated that the petitioner had been an officer of the Brunswick Club; that be was now 75 years of age ; that up to this period he had been a very strong opposer of Emancipation; that this bad been with a view to please his Majesty's Government and ac cord with their opinions (Much laughter) ; that as the sentiments of the Government had now changed, he he heartily coincided in their sentiments, and hoped the change in his conduct would not be considered a dereliction of duty. (Repeated laughter.) The Noble Marquis col lected from the petition, that this old gentleman was now in favour of granting power ts the Roman Catholic. Lord LIMERICK could bear testiniony to the strong opposition this gentleman had then to the Catholic Claims. He doubted much whether this was really the petition of the person it purported to be from—he was much more inclined to consider it a hoax.—(Laughter.) Lord KING observed that if it were a hoax, and he had been the hoaxer, he should have put the petition into the hands of a new convert, for then the hoax would have told with double force. It was a very common thing for some persons to change their opinions with the change of opinions of Ministers : this only sheaved the Government to be composed of good apostles, and he had no doubt that the present apostles would gain many converts. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE washed his hands of any thing to do with this petition as a hoax. He believed that a very great portion of the community were now favourable to the granting of relief to the Roman Catlin lies. The Noble Marquis then presented half a dozen peti tions from other places to the sam e e ff ec t. _ . . _ Lord HOLLAND presented 13 petitions, 12 of which were from Protestant Dissenters of this country and the others from Roman Catholics in different parts of Ireland, praying their Lordships to take into consideration the laws affecting Catholics, with the view of removing their civil and religion. liberties. The first petition was from a body of men well known to the Government of the country, the Dissenting members of the three denominations in and ad joining this metropolis. It was true they were invested with no authority from their Lordships's bar, that they had no Corporate Seal, no office of emslument under the Govern ment, nor any claim to attention except what their piety and learning entitled them to. That they were the last set of men who would wish the Noble Lord to assign to them any power with which they were not invested. Yet they were a class of persons who had been long recognised by the Government of this country, and were the suc cessors of those who had negotiated with Mr. Lecke him self, respecting the Toleration Act, which the Noble Lord looked upon as the key stone which was now about shortly to be completed. They had ever since beeen noticed for their loyal feeelings and warm iffaastons to the personages who had sat upon the British Throne. Without drawing any thing like an in vidious comparison, there was no class of persons in this country to whom his Majesty's family were more deeply indebted for the possession of their crown, than the Pro testant Dissenters. This had ever been demonstrated as the feelings of the House of Brunswick. The Noble Lord believed that the Protestant Dissenters of this country did not amount to less than three millions and a half, exclusive of the Westleyans and another sect. They were always the most keen in detecting the approach of any thing like civil or ecclesiastical tyranny, and the firmest to oppose it.—(Hear.)—Wh en the Noble Lord found this set of men petitioning their Lordships to extend civil and religious liberty to all men, and particu larly to the Catholics; if he wanted encouragement this above all things would stimulate him to support their Claims. The body ;rout which the petition immediately came was composed of 91 persons, 63 of whom had signed it. One of the other petitions was from the ancient corporation of Nottingham, to which the Noble Lord was himself connected, and the circumstances attending which would prove be' believed that the inferences drawn by c Noble Duke (Newcastle) from the petitions that he had presented that the greater portion of the • inhabitants of that part of the county were against Emancipation was decidedly erroneous ; they avoided the making continents upon the reports of the man ner in which the signatures had been got to a number of the petitions, which had alre-ady been presented from the North of England, against affording relief to the Roman Catholics. Lord GOSFORD presented six petitions from the Ca tholics of parishes in favour of Emancipation ; also four petitions against the Vestry, and seven for a repeal of the Sub-letting Act The House adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. ESTCOURT moved for a new Writ for the Uni • versity of Oxford ; in the room of the Right Honourable Mr. Secretary Peel, who had accepted the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. General GASCOYNE said th it he highly approved of the course the Right Hon. Gentleman hid pursued in this respect, however he might differ with him in his conduct upon the question which had led to the present motion. The Rt. lion. Gent. by the course he was pursuing, give the University the opportunity of confirming the resolution they had already come to, and so far he had acted with great fairness to his constituents and with credit to him self. Ile trusted that all those who had similarly changed their sentiments, would afford their constituents a similar orportunity, fir if they did not, they must certainly fall in political estimation, and also in their own. He hoped they would act with fairness towards those whom they re presented, and give them an opportunity of expressing their sentiment) upon such gross apostacy. Having felt the inspiration of the new light which had induced them suddenly to alter their opinions, they were still inclined to suppose, that the day of account was far distant, but he be lieved that the day of retribution for political apostasy' was nut so far distant as they imagined, and that they would then experience the indignation of their constituents. It was not usual to suffer the intercourse of private friendship to interfere with political feelings, but he considered that gentleman who behaved with political inconsistency must be lessened in private estimation. He was aware that many persons had sacrificed consistency to the desire of place, but for his part, he thought that consistency should no more be placed in competition with place than glass with marble. He would suggest to such lion. Gen tlemen to consider how their conduct would be judged of hereafter, and also to consider that the day of retribution was not so far off as they might imagine. Mr. HOBHOUSE said he believed that it was not usual to speak upon such motions as that before the House, but no doubt the gallant General felt himself justified in the course he had adopted. He, as well :as the gallant General, approved of the course pursucd by the Right lion. Gen tleman in giving to his constituents an opportunity of re considering that great question. Ile for one did not think that the connection could be drawn too close between the constituents and the Representative, for he always advo cated the great principle of Parliamentary Reform. After the speech of the gallant General, he had a right to ask him for his vote should the question of Parliamentary Re form ever come before the House, at least if the gallant General maintained that consistency of which he professed himself as the admirer. As for Political Apostasy', he thought the term scarcely deserved by that Right Hon. Gentleman or by those who had adopted the same course as he had done.—(Hear, hear.)--The time, he had no doubt, would ere long come, when the Gallant General would be convinced, that his fears for his dear country would be totally unfounded. Time House, the country, c ‘o . ‘o n i v i e t e h d i I , lk of that great those w.h question r i so dt riskedt the r n their they et ia r l u a v o o te l r d le for i the time being, and the loss of the good opinion of their constituents, by panfully coming forward in such a crisis, were deserving of the greatest approbation.—(Hear.) The new Writ was then ordered. Alden man Wool) obtained leave to bring in a Bill rela tive to the removal of Smithfield Market. Mr. CHARLES PALLMER presented :a petition from the West India Dock Company, to amend some part of their Act, also a petition respecting the intended new Royal Clarence Bridge, from Lambeth to the Horseferry road. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the Indepenslant Gas Company. Sir THOS. BARING brought in a Bill to amend the Stratford and Bow Select Vestry Acts. Read a first time. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of South Shields, in favour of Ca tholic Emancipation. Sir J. COTTERELL presented a petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the County of Ilerefioll, against the Catholic claims ; a lso a similar petition from the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Hereford. Mr. VILLIERS STUART presented fifteen petitions from 'parishes in the County of Waterford, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Mr. CHARLES PALLMER in presenting a petition Mr. ALDISIIMAN ATKINS presented a petition front the Governors:a St. Thomas's Hospital, relative to the regulations thereof. • Mr. ASHURST rocked a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Oxford, against the Catholics. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented similar petitions from tw m parishes in the county of York. Lord E. SOMERSET presented similar petitions front two parishes in the county of Gloucester. Mr. F. WEST presented a similar, petition from Den bigh. Mr. DICKENSON presented a similar petition from Castle Carey. Mr. G. BANKES presented a similar petition from Burton-upon-Trent. It came from a part Of the country with which he had no local acquaintance; but he could say, upon good foundation, that the' petitioners were all respectable householders of that town, and that among that class the majority were sixty to one against the Ca tholics. Mr. LAMB presented a petition from Dungnrvon in favour of the Catholics. Mr. CAREIV presented similar petitions from St. Mary's, and other parishes, in the County of New Ross. Mr. SPRING RICE moved for leave to bring in a Bill relative to the rights of executors. Mr. CALCRAFT presented a petition from Wareham, in favour of the Catholics. Mr. G. MOORE presented several petitions from dif ferent parishes in „Ireland against the Catholics. He stated that they were signed by persons of the first respectability, including many of the Nobility. Colonel CUST presented a similar petition from a parish iu Chester. Lord PALMERSTON presented three petitions in fa vour of the Catholics. Mr. W. PEEL brought up a report relative to the Courts of Laws. Tke Order for the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, on the motion of the Char.- cellor of the Exchequer, was then read. On the question that the Speaker da leave the Chair', Mr. AIABERLY rose and begged to offer to the House some observations relative to the separate branches of the public service, and to the Committee that was ap pointed last Session for the purpose of injuiring into the revenue and expenditure of the country. lie meant the Finance Committee. He had a high opinion of those Committees, and it appeared that many other Members had held the same view, as Committees had been appointed in the years 1788, 1796, 1817, and 1829. Those Committees, lie believed, had pmduced beneficial results to the country, and it was a matter of great surprise to hint that the one of last Session had been suffered to terminate, he might say, ad libitum. Every one must be convinced of the benefit of such a measure. The Committee Was appointed to examine into, and report upon every one of the great branches of the expenditure and revenue of the country. It was generally known at the time of a}- pointing that Committee, that it was impossible for the members of it to thoroughly examine in time for a Report for the same Session, into all the great branches necessary to be investigated. It was, therefore determined they should confine their labours to two or three of the moat important branches, that the House might have an oppertunity of ascertaining Low great the advantages of the result may have been. The result was satisfactory, and yet the Com • tnittee was suffered to discontinue. To prove that it was the 4!,inion of the Right lion. Secretary of State that these Committees were advantageous, lie hoped the House would excuse him, if he referred to the sentiments of the Right lion. Gentleman, which he expressed on the appointment of the Finance Committee. He then said that he was very anxious this Committee should be established, and he should nut have recommended it to the House, had he not had a conviction that its appointment would be bene ficial to the country. He (Mr. Moberly) had then sto ed that he was convinced the time bad arrived, when it was necessary to look fully and firmly into the state of the Finances—when it would be hopeless to think of deceiving people and the country would receive the must incalculable advantage from the appointment of this Committee. The lion. Gentleman proceeded to comment on the former Re ports delivered in the Finance Committee, and contended they con tained much in formation. ThcCon:tnitteehadshown that there was plenty of bu,iness to employ them for ouc or two years more. Ile saw no reason why a Cnntnittee that had laboured as this had done should he put an cod tc.. It was but justice to the Members comprising it, and to the public in genera, that it should be continued.— The Honourable Gentleman further alluded to the re duction meditated by the Committee in the Army and Navy. (Here the impatience of the House be came so great the Speaker called ts order.) The Ho nourable .Momber said, that this was the first moment the finances of the country had been touched on this Session ; but as the interest of the one great question absorbed all others, that if it was the pleasure of the House, he would stop. [LEFT SPEAKING.] SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. The odds have not undergone any change of importance since our last report. The principal feature in yesterday's busi n es s was a paradoxical movement of Luse, who ad vanced a point for the Derby, and receded in the same de gree for the Oaks. The Duke of Grafton's Burman was in pretty general request for the Riddlesn•orth ; he is spoken of as a colt of much promise, and his party seem to re gret that he is not in the Derby.
