(Several Members called out six o'clock.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if Hon. Members would in that night refrain from making remarks on the petitions, the business might be proceeded with at an early hour ; after a few observations we under stood it was agreed that no petition should be received after eight o'clock.

No—he had not redeemed it, and never would be able to redeem it. The measure was all concession without any security at all. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(LAST NIGHT.) In 3 Vols. post Bvo. SI s.

The Marquis of SLIGO presented petitions from five parishes in• Ireland in favour of the Catholic claims. Loud LORTON presented 10 petitions from pariehea in the county of Donegal and King's Uounty, all against the Catholic claims. Lord SKELIAIERS:D ALE presented two petitions against the Catholics from parishes in Chester. The NobllVl.nrd harLgiverr the utmost attention to the measures brought forward in another place, but could not bring himself to change the opinion he had entertained upon this question for a long series of:years. Lord ROLLE presented a petition from Rothwaite, against concessions. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Runcorn, Cheshire, against the Catholic claims. Lord DACRE presented several petitions from different parts of Ireland against the Sub-letting Act. The Noble Lord also presented a petition fivin the Unitarian congre gation at Morley, Bolton-le-Moor, praying for the removal of all religious diabilities. The Earl of GUILDFORD presented petitions from St. Marylebone, Southampton, from two places in Hants, from Thorpe, Essex, from Foots-tray, and from sent-al other places, all against Emancipation, and begged to remark of the last petition, that it was signed by all the inhabitants of the parish except the Rector. He mentioned this be cause so much was said of the Clergy; but he believed, if they had exerted their influence against presenting petitions to Parliament, they would have been unable to stem the current of public feeiing. Lord ARDEN presented three petitions from Protestants of the county of Cork against concession. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from the corpo ration of Goldsmiths,' Edinburgh, praying for the removal of Catholic disabilities. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from the Archtleaconry of Essex, and several other places, against concession. Lord PLUNKETT presented petitions from Bray, Kilbride, and three other places in the comity of Dublin, in favour of Emancipation.

Lord WICKLOW presented a petition from All Saint., Deny, praying for the removal of all Catholic disabilities. Lord KENYON, in rising to present tt.petition, said it was alinosttwemr , seven years stiici he hAd had a seatin that House, and in all that time he had strenuously sup ported the measures of Government. There were parti cular occasions, however, when duty called on him to de viate from that practice. The present time seemed to him one when every man who was attached to the Constitution was called on to declare his sentiments. The measures which his Majesty's Ministers were soon to bring under their Lordships' notice was at all times of very great im portance, but was now, in consequence of the manner in which his Majesty's Ministers had made use of the Sove reign's name, in reference to this measure, of greater im portance than ever. The question was to be considered in reference to the principles which had placed the family of Brunswick in possession of the Throne of - these realms ; and when a measure-of such very great importance was to be proposed, after it had been adopted by the Ministers, and recommended to their Lordships, it would have been better if they had at the same time laid before their Lord ships the precise grounds en which they recommended the measure. That question was understood not to be pro posed without security that, in granting the claims of the Catholics, the Constitution and the law established in 16S8 should not be brought into jeopardy. That had been the public declamation of the Ministers of the Crown, but such a measure had not been submitted ; and thus the question was divested of one of the most important subjects supposed to be connected with it. The measure now pro posed was for the removal of all disabilities without any se curities, which was not consistent with the declaration made by the Noble Duke, How far his Majesty was in formed of the shape which the measure had at present as sumed in Parliament—(Order, order) — Earl GREY rose to order. To use his Majesty's name with reference to any subject under discussion in Parlia ment, or to mention his supposed opinion with reference to any such subject, was unparliamentary. Lord KENYON bowed to the 'decision of the Noble Earl, and regretted that what lie stated should be thought out of order by the Noble Earl ; for there was no man in that House for whom he had a greater respect, after the Noble and Learned Lord who had made such a noble stand in that House, who had preserved his honourable character for consistency, and done himself the more credit by enabling the world to contrast his conduct with that of others.---(Hear, hear.)—Even on occasiop of presenting these petitions, lie was anxious to take the opportuuity of declaring his conviction that the measure now in progress would be attended with the greatest mischief to the nation. He would like to know whether, when the Speech recom mending the consideration of the question of the Catholic Claims came down to Parliament, the nature of the measure was completely and fully explained to his Majesty, because lie thought it might be doubted at least whether his agree ing to the measure would not be a violation of his Corona tion Oath. The measure, might not be considered as overturning the Church Establishment directly, but such, lie was persuaded, would be the result; and it became. their Lordships seriously to consider the con sequences. The very best sesurity of the Throne of his Majesty depended on the affixtions of his Protestant sub jects, and there was much danger that. these affections would be lost-by the success of this measure. It might he difficult to restrain those persons who called loudly for a measure of this kind, but it would be much more difficult to suLdue them after the claims were granted, and they had the opportunity of pushing these claims still further, which, however loyal to his Majesty personally, they would do. When the Catholics attained political power, it Was not to be expected that they would concur in those .penal laws that might be necessary to restrain the growth of Popery. The measure, if carried into effect, would prove the destruction of the Protestant Constitution as established in 1688. At least, it was but common justice to the country that a new Parliament should be called, for the this particular mea sure b e f ore it was The Duke of WELLINGTON—I do net mean, note passed purpose i n oft into a consideri ng ri ng withstanding what has fallen from the Noble Lord, to enter now on the discussion of the measure to which the Noble Lord has alluded. T understood that it had been agreed upon and arranged that these discussions should not be perpetually called up, on the occasion of presenting peti tions ; but that the subject should be allowed to rest, till the matter came kegularly before th e House. I have clearly and distinctly, and openly pledged myself and thereat of his Majesty's confidential servants, to show that the measure for the settlement of t he C at holic Claims will not be attended with the m i s chievous consequ e p ces w hi c h i ts opponents dread. On thecontrery, I say it"will be attended with the most rlirient and to the co un t ry . Th e N o bl e L or d beneficial conseque nces ; an d for its good effects we are re the measure has be en exp l a i ne d to Ma a.,spkosnswibilieetthoePar jesty ? I answer - that it has been explained ; and i would deserve the severest censure of your Lordships and the na tion, if I had brought down such a measure to Parliament without having' explained it to his Majesty. Does the , Noble Lord imagine that his Majesty would give his con fidence to any man who would Yeutore to lay a measure of such importance, or any measure before Parliament, with out explaining it to him. The notion that he would suffer any servant so to act, is little less than an insult to his Ma jesty. I will not now enter upon the discussion of the question, whether this is or is not a violation of his Ma jesty's Coronation Oath ; but I du say that the measure does nut in the slightest degree touch on the Coronation Oath, and that I undertake to show when it comes regu larly under discussion before your Lordships. I have read a correspondence, to which an ancestor of a Noble Lord was a party ; and neither he nor my Learned Friend (Lord Eldon) on the Cross Bench, nor Lord Liverpool, i:or my Right Hon. Friend in the other House, thought that the Coronation Oath had anything to do with the measure of reasonable concession to the Roman Catholics. In the letter to his late Majesty, from the late Lord Kenyon, there was not a word to countenance the idea that in.his opinion a measure of this kind would be a violation of the Coro nation Oath, or that the oath would be in the least affected by it. This mutd, I thought it right to say, in answer to • the 'Noble Lord's assertions, although it -is mast inconve nient that these topics should be brought . undeediscussion night after night, on every occasion when petitions are presented, contrary to the arrangement which I under stood to be agreed to, that all discussion on the subject should.be deferred till • the question came in the regular form before the House. I repeat that, when it does come, I will be ready to shbw that the measure of reasonable concessions to the Catholics will not only not be attended with any injury to the Protestant EstabliShment and the Constitution of the country, but that it will tend ma terially to strengthen both, and that the greater danger to the ConstitutiOn and the Notestent Establishment would be to refuse to settle the question in a manner calculated' to put an end to - the divisions and dissensions amongst the population of.the country.—(Hear.) Lord KENYON—The question which he put to the Noble Duke was not whether the measure had been ex plained to his Majesty when it was submitted to the other House of Parliament, but whether the measure intended to be submitted to Parliament had been explained to his Majesty at or before the time when *his Majesty's Speech was laid before both Houses at the opening of the Session? The Duke of WELLINGTON (in n loud and firm voice)—lt was.—(A laugh.) Lord KENYON—From the manner in which the Noble Duke had answered his question, it might be ima gined that the question was irregular and improper. If sneh was the case he certainly was not aware of it, and certainly had no intention to violate the order of their Lordships' House. With respect to the correspondence to which the Noble Duke had referred, although it was not directly stated to be the opinion of his ancestor, that, by settling the Catholic Question on terms of concession to their claims, the Coronation Oath would be violated ; yet the inference was, that the concession would be attended with consequences fatal to the Church and the Constitu tion, which, at his Coronation, his Majesty swore to sup port; and that therefore, in effect, the concession would be a violation of the Coronation Oath. Earl GREY—I am fully sensible of the very great in. convenience attendant on the practice which has lately arisen of inakicg speeches on the presentation of petitions, and thus taking every opportunity of throwing out asse tions unaccompanied with the slightest shadow or colour of argument. It has been asserted that the measure now in progress will, if it be passed through the House of Par liament, and he agreed to by his Majesty, be a violation of the Coronation Oath. To discuss that question now can serve no good purpose, nor produce any good effect; and it is far better to postpone giving any opinion on the sub. ject till the matter comes regularly before your Lordships, when opinions may be given with the arguments in sup port of them. At present I, can only meet assertion by as sertion;and I sty, that the meitsine 'ifetrin `progreis for settling the Catholic Question will be attended with no danger to the Constitution in Church and State; but on the contrary, will have the effect of adding strength and stability to both, and that his Majesty's assent to it will be no violation of the Coronation Oath. Such was the opi nion of many who were opposed to the Catholic claims; and the late Lord Liverpool had distinctly stated it as his opinion that the Coronation Oath had nothing to do with the matter. As to the letter of the Noble Lord's (Kenyon) father to his late Majesty, I draw some conclusion from it as the Noble Duke did ; and, as I read it, I find nothing whatever in it to justify the notion that it was the opinion of the Noble Lord's father that the settling of the Catholic Question in the way of reasonable concession would he a violation of the Coronation Oath.—(flear, hear, hear.) — Even the Noble Lord's own application of the letter, and the construction which he put upon it, showed that, if his Majestyshould think that the measure, instead of being injurious, would be beneficial to the Protestant Church and the Constitution, then an assent to it by his Majesty would be no violation of the Coronation Oath. If his Majesty really believed that the measure would be attended with serious injury to the Protestant Establishment, and agreed to it with an intention to injure the Establishment—in that case the late Lord Kenyon did seem to think that it would be a violation of the Oath. That certainly is a very different question ; but I do not mean to enter upon the subject at all at present, and have only to say that I fully concur with the Noble Duke that the measure now in progress does not at all touch on the Coronation Oath. But before I sit down, I cannot help taking the opportunity of deprecating the continuance of a practice which has lately sprung up on both sides of the House, of introducing his Majesty's name in debate.—(Hear, hear.)—As to the mere recommendation by the Crown of a measure to the consideration of the Houses of Parliament, that is as old as the Constitution. That the Ministers were responsible for the advica they gave to his Majesty was true, and that they bad a view to the settlement of the question was not disputed. But they were no further responsible, merely as Ministers. As to the measures which might be adopted by the Legislature in consequence of consider ing the matter referred to it by his Majesty, the Ministers were responsible only as Members of Parliament. But nothing could be more inconsistent with the principles of the Constitution, and the forms and privileges of Parlia ment, than to mention in Parliament, during the progress . of any measure, what were the private inclinations or sentiments of his Majesty respecting it. I hope that we shall hear no more of this on either side, either in favour of a measure or against it ; or whether it has or has not the sanction of his Majesty. All we have to do is to con sider the matter recommended to our attention by his Ma jesty, and beyond that we have nothing whatever to do with the private inclinations and opinions of his Majesty. I have only further to say, that I am glad that there is a prospect of having this great question speedily settled. Some, out of a mistaken zeal for the Protestant EStablish meat, oppose the measure as one pregnant with danger to the Constitution in Church and State. I think it will he attended with no danger to either ; but that, instead of being dangerous, it will support and strengthen both, by healing the divisions which have too long disturbed the nation.—(Hear, hear.) Lord FALMOUTH—He had to trouble their Lordships with only one word. Whether the arrangement of which the Nowe Duke had spoken had been subscribed to or nor, one thing was clear, that for every page littered by the op.- ponents of the pleasure against it, on presenting petitions, a folio , volume was on similar occasions uttered by its sup. porters in its favour. The Noble Duke had read rather an unfair lecture to such of their Lordships as opposed the measure. He ought rather to have directed his lecture to the Noble Lords on the right, who now appeared to be his principal friends. The Noble Duke had talked boldly manfully on the aubjeet of 1;4 rpsponsibility. The re sponsibility is certainly a perilous one, and in his opinion the Noble Duke would have reason to repent his having undertaken it. As to the Coronation Oath, the very ex istenco.of a question whether this measure was or was not a violation of it, was matter for serious consi&roticr, ;a4 reflection, and he honed ti.c tnattev would ifteet with that attention which it derlerved.. - • Lord FARNHAM—The arrangement to which the Noble Duke had referred might be a very proper one on ordinary occasions, but was extremely inapplicablc t~ the present crisis. The earliest period at which he could Consider the Measure as propounded, was the 6th March ; and to-morrow, not mote than 12 days after it was intro duced, the prin c ipl e o f t h e Bill was t o be considered and discussed. •Now h e wou ld as k w h e th e r twelve days wexo stqcient to enable the country to undeotand such a mea ?tire as this, and 'to enable Members of Parliament to come prepared for its discussion, and to give a sound opinion upon it?._(hear, bear.)—Nlanv would not have an op portunity of saying :Inv thing at all on the subject, unless they spoke their sentiments on the occasion of presenting petitions. There mver was a Pleasure with the details of The Duke of WELLINGTON—I am not aware that I pledged myself that the securities would be such as to give satisfaction to all your Lordships, including the Right Rev. Prelate. I said, in reply to a Right Rev. Prelate, that when the - measure came under discussion here, I would prove that it would not be dangerous to the Consti tion and the Protestant Establishment; but I did not say a word about security.. The Right Rev. nelate stated, that this measure xv ()nil set up Popery on the ruin of Pro testantism. I denied the proposition,' and said, that in stead of setting up Popery, it would prevent its being set up. I said so then, and I say so again nos. I - certainly am very reluctant to trouble your Lordships with these incidental discussions ; but when the Noble Lord puts words into my.mouth which I never uttered, I feel it due to myself to set him right. Lord FARNHAM—He was not present when the Noble Duke made the reply to which he alluded, but he had his information from certain records of the proceed bird of Parliament.—(Order, order.) The Eurl of ELDON would not then enter ou the dis cussion of the question as to the Coronation Oath, and bad hitherto carefully abstained from adverting ;to it. It was a question of extreme delicacy, and he felt a great dis inclination to touch upon it. But whether it might not be absolutely necessary to consider and discuss the question in the course of the progress of this Bill, was quite another matter. But nothing except the opinion that it was a matter of necessity, would induce him to say any thing on that topic. He had, however, an opinion on the sulject, and he would not hesitate to state that opinion. As to the lecture which the Noble Duke had read to the House, he agreed that it had better have been addressed to the Noble Lords on the other side, who now appeared to betbe Noble Duke's chief friends. But there waa such- a changing of late, that he himself hardly knew where he It*. ' Lord KENYON then presented petitions from the town of Pembroke and two or three other places against con cession to the Catholics.—They were laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented six petitions from parishes in Ireland, praying for further concessions to his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. The Noble Marquis presented two petitions from parishes in Ireland, praying for relief against the Sub-letting Act,.and also two petitions from parishes in Ireland against the Vestry Act. The Noble Marquis then presented a petition from Kinsale, praying that the Government might not continue the pre sent system of making grants for public education in Ire land. The Noble Marquis presented a petition from the Faculties of Physicians and Surgeons at Glasgow, praying that some alteration might be made in the law respecting the supply of subjects for medical education. The Duke of RICHMOND presented two petrons from Rye and from a parish in Sussex, against any further con cession to the Catholics. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions in favour of Catholic Emancipation, from Ramsgate, and from Roscovie, and another parish in Cork. The Marquis of BUTE presented a similar petition from Myrthyr Lord FALMOUTH presented petitions of a contrary nature from a parish in Berkshire, from a parish in Essex, and from a parish in Bedfordshire, and likewise from Pen ryn. The Noble Lord had no connexion with Penryn, and the petition had been sent to him with an assurance that it had been ..figneJ.by the inhahiAants-of Penrya, not— withstanding the landed interest in the neighbourhood was against it. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a peti tion from the Clergy of Rochester, praying that no further Concessions might be made to the Catholics. Ths Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented petitions of a contrary nature, from Lochreagli awl five parishes in Ireland. Lord GORT moved for returns of all persons registered within the last seven years as Freeholders of Counties, or as Freemen of Towns in Ireland returning Mem6ers to Parliament, specifying the value of the Freehold, and distinguishing whether the persons admitted as Freemen of Corporations were honorary Freemen, or Freemen in right of birth, marriage, or servitude.—Ordered to be produced. The Mutiny Bill was read a third time, and passed. At Seven o'clock the Reuse adjourned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) On the motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, a new writ was ordered to be made out for the Borough of Marlborough, in the room of Lord Brudenell, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. The Bill for removing St. Dunstan's Church was read a first time. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought in a Bill for making a tram or rail-road, from Blackwall, along the line of the Commercial road.—lt was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented seventy petitions against Catholic Concessions, from various places, princi pally from Wales, with a slight sprinkling from England, Scotland, and the county of Down. Lord ALTHORP said, that with respect to the petition from West Ham, he had to state that the clergyman had from the Altar requested the parishioners to sign the petition, conduct which he thought very unbecoming the character and duty of a clergyman. The petitions were ordered to be printed. Lord CHANDOS presented a similar petition from the Trades of Dundee. General HART presented 14. petitions from places in Donegal, against concessions to the Catholics. Lord TIILLAMORE presented a petition from the county of Kerry, against further concessions. Mr. M. FITZGERALD said the great mass of the pro perty and of the population of Kerry was decidedly in favour of Catholic concessions. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a petition against further concessions to the Catholics from the ministers, merchants, and inhabitants of Greenock, and he said it wat; most numerously and respectably signed. Sir M. S. STEUART from 1 4 19 particular connexion with the town of Greenock, felt it his duty to say that he trusted the House would not consider the petition now pre sented by the Noble Marquis as representing any thing like the undivided opinion of the more respectable and intelli gent part of that community. In proof of this, he should have the honour of presenting more than one petition from the inhabitants of that town, praying for foil concessions to their Roman Catholic fellow. subjects. He regretted the means that hail been used to excite a strong religious feeling among the people of Greenock and throughout the west of Scotland, inducing them to sign that and other pe titions, especially the petition from Glasgow, presented a f ni g hts and several from that c presented the Member for the University of Oxford,—means % h 1 was sure the Noble go by yy Nobleuon. Marquis,r iend Marquis, in his manly and consistent opposition to the measure of Government, could rint approve of. He allud ed to the efforts' trsl by some members of that truly vene rable and excellent body the Church of Scotland to excite it strong and prejudicial public feeling throughout their congregations, by addressing them on this as a purely reli gious subject, both in and out of their '12;004. In 'proof of this, he held in his band some ltittm, very respecta ble gentlemen, attestinC the I:aefs ; 'intt he would not called upon to occupy the time of tha li9uaely reading them, unless to do so, nor would he intrud e upon its attention with, Any further observations at present. Sir F. BURDETT move(' fur roturn-s of boots and shoes imported into 043 country, with the duty paid thereon ; s,W l 's?. t v .e year 1818.—Ortlered. Lord DUNCANNON presented several petitions from parishes in the county Kilkenny, in favour Dui concessions to the Catholics; also petitions agaigst the Snb-letting Act and against the Vestry Act, Sir INt COLTEURST Presented a petition from the Mayor, Sheriff, and Commonalty of Cork, against con cessions ; also. several petitions from various parishes in the county of Cork, in favour of Emancipation to the Catholics; also petitions from three of those perishes against the Sub-letting Act. . . _ pOiIIT.MAN presented two peetions frog places in the county of orset, in favour of.Catholin Emancipation. lir. OWEN presented a petition from Pembroke, and An How. MEMBER, whose name we could not ascertain, presented several petitions from places in the county of Southampton, against the Catholic claims ; and others of a similar nature from places in the county of Cardiff. Mr. DOHERTY rose to present two petitions well worthy of the attention of the House: the first was from 100 Protestant practising Barristers of Ireland, and the other from 67 Roman Catholic practising Barristers of that bar. He would take this opportunity of noticing an ob servation made the other evening by the Hon. Member for Dover. He then stated that the Bar of Ireland consisted • of five kindred and twenty members. Now he must ob serve that his petition was not from the whole, but cf those practising, which number did not exceed two hun dred and forty, and out of that' number 167 had recorded their sentiments in favour of concession,—(hear, hear)—and be could assure the House that many of the others not practising entertained a similar opinion, he be lieved, at the ratio of eleven to one.—(Hear, hear.)—So much as to the petition from the Protestant members of the Irish bar. The second petition which. he had to de liver was from the Roman Catholic barristers of that body. No one who knew this class of the profession, their knowledge, their diligence, their fair and just pre tensions to the highest honours of the bar, but must feel most grateful for the removal of restrictions front them which were most unwise and impolitic. He could mention instances of four or five Catholics who • had lately been appointed to high offices, and the man ner in which they had performed the duties, had called for the admiration of all classes, both Protestant and Catholic. —(Hear, bear. )—He made :this statement in the hearing of Hon. Members, who were aware of the fact, and who, if he was wrong, might contradict him. lie hoped this was the last time that he should have to allude to the odious distinctions that had so long existed. He trusted the only datinction would henceforth be an honourable am bition to all parties for the honour of the profession.— (Hear, hear.) The petitions ftrere then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. MOORE did not wish to detract from the value of the petitions which his Hon, and Learned Friend was about to present; but he would distinctly affirm, that the Most distinguished members of the bar had not signed these petitions in Ireland. Men of the highest learning, of the most profound constitutional knowledge, at the Irish bar, • were certainly not concurring in these sentiments. • Mr. TRANT knew that several of the old members the bar did not participate in these opinions. Mr. DOHERTY repeated what he had before said, that . the great and influential portion of the Irish bar, who had expressed their opinions, were in favour of concession. He knew, indeed, that several had refrained from coming for ward to petition, and in that which he had just presented, care was particularly taken that none but practising bar risters should sign ; lie had, indeed, refused the signatures of four or five gentlemen in London, because they could not strictly be designated as active me►nbers of the profes sion. He should not undertake the invidious task sug gested by his Hon. and Learned Friend, of marking the members who had not come forward to petition. He knew that a number who formerly dissented from this measure were now, under a change of times and circumstances, prepared to act as the Government had wisely done, and take a new course to meet fresh exigences. Mr. Burke bad well described, in one of his letters, the influence of times and circumstances upon such a question as this, and ' how considerable a part of wisdom it was to be guided by the course of events. If his Hon. and Learned Frietul thought that the other members of the bar were hostile to why not have tried them with a counter..peti. Lion ?—(Hear, hear.)—There was zeal enough to induce ouch a st*,-.if it 'were likely to be ucresafel. His Hon. and Learned Friend ought to recollect the maxim of law, de non apparentibus, et non existentibus eadasn est ratio. He had no petitions to support his view of the question, and the conclusion ought to be that there were none. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then drew a glowing picture of the value of concession to Ireland, and declared, that even at this early moment its delightful fruits were felt, in. the cordial union which Protestants and Catholics were now promoting in the sister kingdom. The moral effect of these early intimations of good feeling could not fail to produce the best moral result throughout all classes of so- - ciety in Ireland.—The petitions were then laid on the table. Mr. B. COOPER presented two petitions from Stroud and its vicinity, against the Catholic claims. Colonel SIBTHORPE presented several petitions of the same character from Coningsby and other parts of the county of Lincoln. Mr. STEWART declared himself decidedly favourable to the Catholic claims, and ready to give his best support to the Bill. He lamented that Mr. Canning had not lived to see this triumph of his principles, and conversion to them of his high political opponents. Colonel SIBTHORPE said, that if the Hon. Member would travel into Lincolnshire, he would see tho warm hostility of the peopleto the proposed measure. Sir H. HERON denied that there was a:ay excitement in Lincolnshire upon the subject. Lord A. HILL presented several petitions from parishes ; in the county of Down, in favour of the Catholic claims. Sir H. SMYTH presented a petition from Wealy, iz Essex, against the Catholic claims. General PEACHEY presented a petition, num.erouslv signed, from Taunton, against the Catholic claims. It was with pride and pleasure that he saw it sa numerously and respectably signed. It bore the signatures of the two vicars and seven of the clergy, who were also most useful magistrates in the neighbourhood. Mr. HENRY SEYMOtrahore testimony to the worth of these petitioners, lie regretted the violent language, which they had used in expressing their sentiments. lie knew, however, that there were many persons in Taunton who dicsented from the opinious of the petitioners upon this question. AL•. DICI(INSON believed that the great majority was hostile to the Catholic claims. General PEACHEY begged to utter his "u nqual::eed asvnt"—(A laugh)—from what had fallen from his, Hon. Colleague. He delighted that those who felt as th e men of Taunton did, had come forward, nn; with a xapid and un meaning petition, but with one which fully, stoutly, and unequivocally expressed the opinions in, which they glo ried.
