TIPa Lon") CHANcELLort took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Several petitions were presented, tmoug others one by Lord BnoucrAm, from the Marquis of WESTMEATH, COM ptaining of the conduct of his own tenantry, in the county of _Roscommon, who opposed every improvement which he pro posed, and at the same time subscribed to the O'Coxmitn rate, and-who set him completely at defiance in his efforts to get rid of the cenacre system. Lord Srouraos gave notice that he should move returns relating to the importation of foreign corn. On the motion that the report of the Committee on the Irish Pacification Bill be received, The Lonn CHANCELLOR proposed the introduction of the amendments, which it had been arranged should be intro duced on the bringing up the report. A desultory conversation ensued, in the course o f which The Marquis of CLANRICARDE suggested that the fact of threatening notices having been written, should give the Lord lieutenant power to proclaim a county. The LORD CIIANCELLOR replied that it would be unad visable to adopt the suggestion, inasmuch as an individual might write hundreds of such notices for the mere purpose of getting a county proclaimed. who held a confidential situation in the Post-office of Ireland previous to 1830, complaining of the course that had been pursued towards him, and praying for inquiry. Mr. WILLIAMS moved, pursuant to notice, for an address for inquiry to be made into the state of education in the principality of Wales, especially into the means afforded to the labouring classes of acquiring the English language. lle believed that if there had been any discretion among the English people they would have long since planted among them their school-master, and not kept the people of Wales in that state of darkness which they had done. The Govern ment had done everything they possibly could for Ireland, and he did not see why they should not do the same for Wales. Mr. Monais seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM, after paying a high eulogiunl upon Sir J. GUEST and Sir T. PHILLIPS, for the exertions they had made towards the education of the people of Wales, stated that it was the intention of the Government to send two gentlemen from the Council of Education to inquire into the system of education in South Wales. He trusted after this statement the lion. Member would withdraw his motion. The motion, after a short discussion, was withdrawn. Mr. T. DUNCOMBR then moved, pursuant to the notice he bad given, an address to her MAJESTY, to take into her gra cious consideration the petitions that had been presented praying the restoration to their native land of FnosT, wIL LIAMSc, and JONES. The Hon. Member, in making the mo tion, presented stone two or three hundred petitions in addi• tion to those that had already been presented. If the Right lion. Baronet would give him an assurance that be would take the case of these unfortunate men into his serious consi deration, he would not trouble the House further upon the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM thought it would be better for the Hon. Member for Finsbury to make his statement, after which he would state to the House the course the Government in tended to pursue. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then at some length entered into the case of Frost, Williams, and Jones, stating that he had no complaint to make of the manner in which the trial had been conducted, but he contended that the conviction had been illegal. These parties had suffered greatly, the majesty of the law had been vindicated, and their release ought to follow as a matter of course. Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM admitted that the petitions and memo rials on this subject were large in favour of the release of these men. Ile admitted that the House had the right of interference, but that interference ought to be exercised with discretion. Looking at the crime of which these parties had been convicted, he considered them fortunate in the highest degree on having escaped with their lives. He felt bound, therefore, to oppose the motion. The House vas subsequently addressed by Mr. MACATILAY, Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Mr. AGLIONBY, Sir R. INGLIS, Mr. WAIMEA-, Lord J. MANNERS, Sir R. PEEL, wbo objected to the motion, as establishing a bad precedent, and taking ‘ away the prerogative of mere" from the Crown. Mr. M. PHILLIPS, Mr. P. HOWARD, Lord J. RUSSELL, who op posed the motion ; and Lord F. EGERTON, who also opposed the motion ; after which, Mr. DUNCOMBE replied, and the House divided, when there appeared—for the motion, 31—against it, 196. Ma jority against the motion, 165. Mr. M. PHILLIPS then moved for copies of all the reports made by the British Minister iu Mexico in the case of Mr. T. KLNDER. Sir R. PEEL opposed the motion, on the ground that we had no right to interfere with the decisions of the Mexicap, Government. The House was then addressed by Mr. GIBBON, Mr. FORSTER. and Mr. SCOTT. The motion was eventually withdrawn. Mr. ICEWDEGATE then brought forward his motion for a Committee on the subject of the Warwickshire Registration. After a short discussion, a Committee was ordered to in quire into the subject of fraudulent registration generally. The other business before the House was disposod of, and the House adjourned. It is a matter of great regret to all the friends of Ireland that any Coercion Bill, or indeed any extraordinary legis lative measure, should be found necessary for that country, while. England and Scotland are exempted from its opera tion. We wish to see the three countries governedby the same laws, enjoy the same rights and privileges, and form one free and independent kingdom under our gracious SOVEREIGN. Unfortunately, however, Ireland has been so I•ng treated like a conquered country, suffered so much at the hands of British rulers and legislators, and one class has been so urged on against another, even by parties that ought to be alike the protectors of both, that a law which will apply to these parts of the kingdom and be sufficient for its object will be totally ineffective in Ireland. The Irish have been subjected to the most cruel misgovernment of any people on the face of the earth. 'fill very lately they were denied all the pri vileges of freemen ; their very priests were outlawed ; they were treated as serfs of the lowest rank; and cruelties un heard of in any land, and disgraceful to the human race, were inflicted on them, solely because they would not abjure their religion and submit patiently to the iron band that crushed them to the earth. Circumstances are now happily changed; their religion and their priests are respected and recognised by the Government, and the present Cabinet ‘ f t i v o li e hr e n e lirtdi sameleinparleljpoliticalrtie footingl:tB respect., as liberties entertained r. thata e l g s a o o r d fhr s aE2 : ln o ,eag t i l l in:, against place tedn tai. noel dt Catholic a e s, i eo c ta h ll tiatetnerxdcf faith. iebtn o uh n tt. vindicated, and with a bvieesizin„ew exceptions . they may be ch:,nsgeose rarely Britriosdhuceconstthie said to enjoy the consti tution. But sudden effects anticipated, and people ernesiyavel require long nursing and kind go vernment beforef o th r ey ages enjoy freedom or conduct themselves in ob e di ence to those can laws which are absolutely necessary for its security. Theseo 1 remarks are true as regards Greece, Spain, and more espe cially Ireland. In neither is law sufficiently respected, and extraordinary remedies, therefore, are required. Possibly the undefined relations between landlord and tenant have been the main causes of the de plorable condition of the Irish peasantry, and have led many of them to resort to the most horrid of all crimes —assassination—to obtain redress for what they considered their wrongs. But such a means of redress cannot be en dured fur a moment in any country whatever. It is abhor• rent to the human mind ; it tends to dissolve the bonds of society, and bring civilised beings to the most brutal and barbarous condition. It cannot be denied that this inhuman practice has been carried on, and is still carried on, in parts of Ireland to an alarming extent; it has becu „adopted Oa a Lord STOURTOIVI2Ited that persons going to their priests, eveu if knoWn criminals, should be protected against arrest when on such an errand. Lord BROUGHAM said, known criminds were now subject to arrest under such circumstances. It would be intolerable that a murderer should be permitted to escape from the police on the excuse that he was going to his priest. Lord Alots-rm&GLE objected to the proposal to vest any dis cretion in the policeman to detain or discharge persons found from their homes after nightfall. They should be bound to take the person so arrested before a magistrate, and give to the magistrate power to dischar ge hi m at once, and not to de tain him for,,perhaps, a week in custody, until the next petty session. The Lord CHANCELLOR said, if the matter were permitted to o.antl over to the third reading, he Would endeavour to see if z;onte remedy could not be provided. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought a single magistrate should have the power of deciding whether or not the man should be detained or discharged. The Earl of 11Tu..itcLow had proposed already that the magistrate might.. have the power of admitting persona to bail to appekat site petty sessions. The Earl' Si'. GERMANS objected to give magistrates the power of adrnittiwr persons to bail under such circumstances. The Duke of 11101.1IOND thought the magistrate ought to have tile power of admitting persons arrested, under such cir,:urristance -to , bail. The Earl of DE - cvs. - supported tie recommendation of the Lord Chancellor: • The Marquis of NoratrAmr - roN supported the proposition of the Earl, of Vat LOW, that power should be given to one magistrate to-admit parties to bail. The Earl of Sr. GEII3IAINS would withdraw the clause for the purpose of reconsidering it. The other amendments were agreed to, the report was re ceived, and the third reading of the Bill was axed for Thursday. Accident placed together two subjects of debate last night, in the House of Commons, closely and painfully connected with each other. Mr. Wieraesats's account of the lamentable want of education in Wales fitly preceded the motion by which Mr. T. DUNCOMBE reminded the House of the sad, but sure consequences of ignorance, in the fatal outbreak for which nose', Wiemaets, and JONES are suffering banish ment. But while Welsh ignorance calls forth pity for the multitude who followed on that occasion, it furnishes no plea of extenuation for the ringleaders. Our regard for the interests of the working classes, and sympathy with their grievances, will not permit us to join in the movement which they have organised in favour of the leaders of the Newport insurrection, and to which Mr. TIIO3IAS DUNCOMBE (with whom generally we are proud to agree) gave articu late expression last night in the House of Commons. We cannot, indeed, conceive a case in which there is less ground for the interference of the House of Commons to procure a remission or mitigation of punishment. The preserva tion of the peace of the country, the prevention of vio lent resistance to the Government, is an object which all citizens, no matter what their political opinions, must unite for. The working classes have grievances which require redress ; but armed insurrection is not the way to redress them. We do not go the length of some writers, who hold that resistance is in no case justifiable : there are extreme cases of misgovernment where the general principle will not hold ; they are cases which speak for themselves, and were success proves the necessity of resistance and justifies it. " Great evils ask great passions to redress them, And whirlwinds fitliest scatter pestilence." But the state of society, the grievances of the working classes in 1839, do not make the case of Fnosr, WILLIAMS, and JONES, an exception to the sacred general rule of obedience to civil authority. There is no parallel between the Newport insurrection and the Rebellion of 1641 or Revolution of 1688, and if FROST, WILLIAMS, and JONES have no claim for indulgence on the merits of their case, the legal plea made for them is not worth much. Mr. DUNCOMBE tells us, that if a technical objection had been taken in time it would have been valid in the opinion of nine judges to six. But valid for what ? Only to postpone the trial, in the opinion of all the judges. The trial would have been postponed, and the prisoners would then, probably, have been convicted, and, there being no technical objection to the conviction, would have suffered the last sentence of the law, which, as it is, they have escaped. Or, even if the technical abjection had been sufficient (which it was not), if taken in time to procure an acquittal, it was a technical ob jection, and it does not lie in the mouths of those who rested on a technicality to complain that another technicality has deprived their of its benefit. It is another very important circumstance to be considered that the prisoners did not suffer, but, on the contrary, gained an advantage on their trial by the informality which they complained of. The point taken by the counsel for the prisoners was, that they were not served with a copy of the indictment and a list of the witnesses at the same time. This was because the Solicitor to the Treasury indulged the prisoners with a copy of the indictment four days before the period that the law pre scribed. Under these circumstances, we cannot but think the working classes, and their able and courageous champion, Mr. Dustcomne, have not exercised a sound discretion in agitating this question. Mr. DnRAELI strangely misunderstood Sir J. Ge,isram's closing intimation, that though he did not feel it to be his duty to accede to Mr. DUNCOMBE'S motion, it was not to be inferred that the door of mercy was entirely closed. This was no encouragement of agi tation, but a proper and considerate intimation that con tinuance of good conduct might entitle the banished men, after a longer term of punishment than they have already en dured, to a merciful re-consideration of their case. Mr. MA.- CAULAY, we think, was carr i e d away, perhaps in the fervor„. of discussion, into a rather exaggerate d v i ew of the offence which had been committed; and th ere i s one pry of Mr. MaeAuLAY's speech which we cansiot assent, to without much qualification. We mean. that part in which he reprobates in such unmeassered terms the sympathy which had been shown for `.dc fate of TAWELL and other criminals. There is an ingredient in that sympathy which Mr. Matsu:ear has entirely overlooked—hostility to the punishment of death. There was no sympathy with T.twELL —no consideration of his crime in the efforts made to pro cure a review of the sentence which consigned him to death, The origin of these efforts was aversion to capital punish ment. The Bill, as amended, vas ordered to be printed. Thursday was fixed for the reconsideration of the report, and Friday for the third reading. The House then adjourned. system, and independent of the atrocities of such deeds, they have the most ruinous consequences on the very people who resort to them for relief. It drives capital, and consequently employment from Ireland ; no man that can help it will live in a country where his life is never secure even against the mid-day assassin ; no improvements can take place, and unless the Government have the power to repress such horrible crimes, and afford security to life and property, the land will soon be occupied only by bands of ignorant and lawless savages. The Government, by the present Bill, has made the attempt to discover a remedy, but whether it will be successful or not is another ques• tion. Like all Coercion Acts, we fear that it will ultimately fail, and that nothing but better go vernment and time will be found sufficient to abate such crying evils. But so deplorable and so inju rious to the miserable peasantry themselves is the state of the country, that even the best friends of the Irish wish to give it a trial, in the hopes that the crime of assassination may be put down. No doubt several of the clauses are se vere, but great crimes require severe laws, and we, therefore, regret to find Mr. O'CONNELL railing, not so much against the objectionable parts, as against the very attempt, and using language which we fear will only excite the people to rebel against it. "I have often spoken harshly," says he, in his last letter, "of the Emperor Nrcnor,ts, but I will do him the justice to say that he never issued such an ukase as this ;" and in another place, "it has the hellish perfection of perpetuity of pain and infliction." We lament that such language should be used, and that many Peers well known for their humanity should be ranked with such a despot, and find such epithets applied to a measure which they con scientiously believe necessary. We have accounts from Mad! id to the 3d instant, but though they bring no intelligence of a striking character, they lead to the belief that the present Ministry cannot go on long. NAIWAEZ and his party keep aloof from them, MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, though not entirely opposed to them, has in a manner deserted his post by retiring to Paris as am bassador, and the funds are rapidly declining. The large sum required as an indemnification to the lay proprietors has, no doubt, had an unfavourable effect in this respect, for to raise such a large sum as 6,000,0001., or even provide for the annual interest, is no trifle in a country like Spain. The Government are making exertions to put down smuggling, and very properly have begun with the foreign ministers The Gazette of the 3d contains a circular addressed by the Minister of Finance to the Director-General of Customs, fix ing the amount of articles to be imported for the private use of the diplomatic body. An ambassador is allowed to import articles free of duty to the value of 2,0001.; a minister plenipotentiary 1,4004 a resident 8001.; and a chargé d' affaires 6001. par Zehts. closed at 29% cash, and 29Zatth603ddat3h-se;Tthh7e Five per Cents. at 21% for the 30th of April. Tne Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the Polish insurrection and the affairs of Africa. On the former sub ject we have given elsewhere the latest particulars received from Germany and the different places where insurrection had broken out. They leave no hopes whatever of success; and, perhaps, under all circumstances, the best that could happen would be the speedy suppression of this ill-advised and ill-planned demonstration. Should it proceed further, only more persons will be implicated, and more victims destined for punishment. A Polish committee has been formed at Paris, with a view to raise subscriptions and aid the Poles in the righteous cause, but we have great doubts of the expediency of such a step at the present inauspicious time. The Rcfornse says, the committee is composed of the following numbers amomg others :—Messrs. ARAGO, BAUNE, DAVID (D'Angers), DUPOTY, ETIENNE ARAGO, FLOCON, GUINAED, LEDRU _ROLLIN, LOUIS BLANC, MICIIELET, QUI NET, and RECURT, and subscriptions have been opened in the offices of nearly all the Opposition papers. The accounts from Algiers are very unsatisfactory. Mar shal BUGEAUD, as our readers are aware, had arrived at the place, and reckoned upon remaining there some time to form his plans and recruit his exhausted troops, but AI3D-EL KADER will not give his consent, and is resolved to allow the Marshal no rest. He has suddenly appeared on the east of the French frontier, and BUGEAUD is thus compelled :to set out in pursuit of him, with every man that can be spared. The following account of this new raevement appears in the Akbar, and is dated Mascara, Feb. 25 :-- " In consequence of the sudden appearance'of Abd-el-Kader in the east of our possesions, all the 'columns of the province of Algiers have been directed towards that point. The Governor-General bas been forced, in order to cover the long opening which their movement occasioned in the cc n t ra l li ne of t h e Tell, to call from the province of Algiers the colu:in of Colonel Pellisler, which Is now watching the Pass of Bog, ) :Aar, and that commanded by Colonel Renaud, which is in 01) w:ration of the country beyond the sources of the Cheliff. Tht4 disposition could not take place, except to the detri- Inent of the combinations adopted, in order to close the province of Oran against the Emir. In fact, the line of the Keff is vkithout troops from Tiaret to the Oued-el-Abd, and the Aghalicks of the Sdamas and Flittas, where the insurrection had been scarcely quelled, was left open to the first agitator who should attempt again to rouse them. It was necessary, therefore, to till up these blanks as soon as possible. Lient.-General de Lamoricioo im mediately set himself to the work, and notwithstanding the enor mous diminution that his troops have experienced, ho adopted rapidly all the measures commanded by circumstances." The article goes en to describe the arrangements made by General Idotonicnaut to attain the desired object. They appear to have been skilfully planned, but have necessarily called into use every detachment at his disposal. The French Funds on Monday were greatly depressed.

Col. ROLLES ON presented a petition, signed by nine-tenths of the lace-manufacturers of Nottingham, deprecating the practice of working twenty-four con secutive hours, and praying that the time of labour might be restricted to sixteen hours. The petition also prayed the House to prohibit altogether the employment of little children, under eight years of age, in the factories. a great deal of legislative rubbish which caused certain re• strictions on consciences, and was a disgrace to the statute book, inasmuch as it imposed penalties for the sake of con science upon families of high honour, and who had descended from a long line of ancestors. Ho hoped it would not be said by those who should oppose this Bill, that the Esta blished religion in this country should be supported by such restrictions upon the exercise of the Roman Catholic religion as this Bill sought to remove. In reference to the Bill which had been brought in by the Lord Chancellor, he (Mr. Es • cott) would say it would be much better to take the two Bills together, and make a good Bill out of them. In the com mon law of the land there was no penalties or oaths for non- conformity in religious matters, and he hoped ere long to see the common law universally restored to this beautiful and simple principle. Wu. regard to the personal inconve niences endured by many, by reason of the existence of those Acts, he would ask the House to consider how this matter stood. Neither the 31st Geo. 111., nor the illth Geo. IV., removed the necessity that Catholics were under it; take an oath, as the condition precedent to a person taking one a license to teach, and which he might, upon religious ground:', feel obliged to refuse to take. There could not be anything more annoying than for Bishops of the Catholic Church to interfere in matters relating to the education of Protestants. as it was equally annoying for Catholic dignitaries to interfere with the education of Protestante. The oaths required under existing statutes shut out Catholics from many important office:, as he could not in agree ment with his conscience take them. For instance, there could not be a greater hardship than that the office of proctor in the ecclesiastical courts—ail office which had nothing to do with religious caith— should be debarred Roman Catholics on account of there penal statutes. He would further refer to a most important section of the Catholic Church, the Christian Brethren, who were much affected by the law as it stood at present. These men were of the most exalted and excellent character, and had done much for education in Ireland, yet by these penal statutes they were outlaws, subject at any time to banish ment. They had the testimony of M. Guizot as to the excellent and praiseworthy preceedings of the Christian Brethren, and yet such was their position under these penal statutes. The effect of the laws regarding,Roman Catholics was, that wealthy members of that faith sent their children out of the country to be educated, and much evil and incon venience arose out of this circumstence. He would refer to a few other cases to show how members of the Roman Catholic persuasion were at present affected, who from conscientious motives (and, he might observe, those who acted from such were not a few), declined to take the oaths that were prescribed. With regard to the oath of supremacy there were many persons who had a conscientious objection to take it. An eminent individual, who was an Archbishop of Rome, could not sit it the council at Malta, in consequence of the scruples he felt to take the oath. Mr. Waterton could not qualify as a magestrate in the county in which he lived; and there were many other persons similarly situated, who could not conscientiously submit to take it. It was too bad, therefore, that these worthy indivi duals should still be subject to these malignant and cruel statutes. He would also mention another person, who was subject to their oppression, the Rev. Mr. Greene, chaplain to Sir Clifford Constable. Now these were real practical griev ances, arising from religious scruples of conscience. He thought, therefore, that the House should interfere and put an end to what must be considered a disgraceful state of things. Let not the House imagine that it was a small or trivial grievance which was at present under discussion. Thousands of families, from the highest to the lowest in the land, were waiting for their decision to be restored to those rights of the constitution of which they bad been unjustly deprived. They were waiting for that decision also in other countries, and lie could not help think ing that some consideration was due to their feelings. It was also due to the faith of the great majority of Christendom, for they could not shut their eyes to the fact that those who would be relieved by the removal of those disabilities be longed to a religious creed which comprised the greater part of the civilized world. It was also due to the interests of their own Established Church, for it was the greatest injury to it to say that their faith could not be maintained without perpetuating what was the greatest injustice to others. In conclusion he considered it most disgraceful to keep up this odious syStem of civil penalties against a faith so celebrated—it was re pulsive to the feelings of all just men, repulsive to the spirit of the age in which they lived, and cruel to those against whom these laws were first enacted.—(Hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT INGLIS said, that the experience which he had in that House enabled him to say that it was a very general feeling that to make concessions eves much pleasanter than to resist them.—(slear.) Concession, however, I he had not made, and was not prepared to make, on the pre- sent question. Whether to liberate tise captive, to aid their teflon-subjects by a grant of public mo;2ey—or, as in the present ems., to remove the obstruction orcentain civil dis abilites—it was ine pleasanter to give than to refue•n• While he admitted, howeVer, :lie pleasurable emotions which con cession would give, he regrets that he could not accede is: the motion on the present occasion: - His Hon. Friend had said that those penal enactments were the rubbish of the dark ages. He would ask, however, whether this was the case ? The first stage to which iie would refer when they commenced, was what was called the golden, or Augustan age of this country—a time when this country possessed more eminent men than the Hon. Member himself, or any of the gentlemen who formed the "Young England" party. He would not, however, threw discredit or disparage ment on the men who formed the glory of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. The next period was the great era of civil liberty. The next was that of William 111. The next was George But he (Sir R. Inglis) presumed that the dark age to which the Hou. Gentleman referred was the year 1829. (Laughter.) That was the darkest age in his estimation. His Hon. and Learned Friend had told the House that greet as the provisions of this Bill might be considered by some, yet the Bill of the Lord Chancellor, which might he soon expected from the other House, was still more comprehen sive. He contended that no practicalgrievance had operated from the existence of the. statutes which this Bill was intended to repeal. The Honourable and Learned Gentle ' man had said that it was at present imposs sible for any person in this country to bequeath anything to a Roman Catholic college abroad, but, why did he not introduce a measure to remove that grievance, if it were a grievance ? He had also complained that the Roman Catholic Bishop of Malta was precluded by the present penal statutes from taking a seat in the Legislative Council, be cause he could not take the oath. He (Sir R. Inglis) would not at present enter upon that question further than by saying that his hope was, that wherever the Sovereign carried her flag she should also there carry her • church. —(Cries of "Hear, hear.") Many better than himself had held that hope for centuries, and ttat till the last few years was the theory, if not the practice, of the best men in Eng land. He apprehended that that statement would not be contradicted by any Member of the House. Instead of carry ing our language and religion to Malta, when we conquered it, we accommodated ourselves es much as possible to the language and religion of the people whom we bad conquered. That, however, was act the policy adopted by the Romans, the French, or any other nation, or even by England until the. last forty or fifty years of Liberalism. Canada was not an exception, because it was surrendered by treaty. He would now come to the general clauses of the Bill. What was the practical effect of the Bill ? He would take up the clause with reference to schoolmasters, and he would ask whether any Roman Catholic had been prevented from exercising the functions or avocations of a schoolmaster because he had omitted to obtain a license from the Protestant bishop of the diocese in which he proposed to establish his school? In point of fact, they all knew that the slightest impediment did not exist against any Roman Catho lic schoolmaster pursuing his avocations on such a ground. Some member of the Church would probably rise in the course of the present debate, and he (Sir R. Inglis) would feel obliged to him if he would state that he knew any instance in which any Roman Catholic teacher had been prevented from exercising his avocations because he had omitted to procure a license from the Protestant bishop of his diocese to do so. He (Sir R. Inglis) would oppose this Bill, because it would in effect repeal the Act cf Supremacy, as well as the law for the expulsion of the Jesuits, which prohibits Roman Catholic bishops from assuming the titles of Protestant sees. It authorises, so far as the Roman Catholic, shall not prohibit any Roman Catholic prelate to assume the title of any see in England. He may assume, if he pleases, the title of the Archbishop of Canterbury. With reference to processions, the House had thought fit to abolish Protestant processions, and would the House now consent to have through the streets of Lon don the procession of Corpus Christi, or the processsion of the Host. The present Bill also seeks to repeal a provi sion of the Act of 1829, which prohibits any functionary from going in his sacerdotal robes to a place of worship. When he told the House that there were no provisions or grievances which the present Bill sought to repeal but those which had been introduced by the Hon. Member himself, who had brought forward the measure of Catholic Emanci pation in 1829, he thought he had stated sufficient reasons for inducing him to move that the present Bill be read a second time this day six months. The SPEAKER having put the original motion and amendments. Lord MOIIPETH rose and said, that he hoped his Right Honourable Friend the Member for the University of Oxford would allow him, a Protestant Member of the House, to express his regret, that any attempt should have been made to resist those laudatle endea vours to get rid of the last remnant of the institutions of the dark ages. His Right Hon. Friend would object to their being styled the relics of the dark ages. They were, at all events, the relics of an age which had witnessed the passing of the penal codes. All really liberal minds must, however, admit that if they were not re lies of the dark ages, they were remnants of a spirit which reigned dominant and contemporary with the dark ages.— (Hear, hear.) It might be said that these measures which the House sought to repeal were a series of measures enacted since the Reformation. He supposed his Right Hon. Friend would confine the term "dark ages" to tee years which preceded the Reformation, when the King's Govern ments and countries were all Roman Catholics. He had no wish to cast any slur upon the opinions or conduct of any men or body of men with refer ence to the course they might adopt upon the present occasion. He considered that the enactments which the present Bill sought to repeal originated in the absence of sound views. He was not, however, as he said. before, inclined to cast any slur upon the motives of the opposers of the present measure. But on looking back to the history of past ages he could not resist the con viction that of all the principles which have caused evil or multiplied the sorrows of the human race, the principle of bigotry has been the most fruitful—(Hear, hear)—and the most pernicious. If he was guilty of a bad taste or impropriety towards the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford, and applied the term bigoted .to him, he was sure that the term would be received by his Right Hon. Friend with a gentle and reprov ing smile—a gentle senile on account of the natural gen tleness of his temper, and with a reproving smile, because 'he would. consider that such imputations should not be cast by any person.—(Loud laughter.) He could say that hardly a day passed in which he did not detect some sort of bigotry in those even who thought them selves moat free from it. The Hon. Member had said that wherever the flag of the Queen of England was reared, there should her church be planted. He would not venture to say bow far that principal had been carried out in cur colonies, ' but, it would seem more to the purpose if wherever the Enetsh flag might be planted, .we were to inquire what was the church of the Queen's subjects. He could hardly conceive that the speech of the Hon. Member would have been made on the second reading of the Bill, for when the House was in Committee if there was any particular exception to be made, the it might be excep ted in the operation of the Bill, a nd mese House would no doubt consent to such a course. statutes, as they . now stood, were useless, un less for the pur pose of keeping up nn offensive superiority, artd throwing out an unm erited stigma. - He found by the first clause in this Bill that preaching :wee 1,0 be punished by forfeiture of p ~'.onment. Yet it was known goods and one 3 -;vearg:bpirmorn"rulgataed every day from 1,000 that this creed mere connivance at a pulpits, snaking the statute falsehood. Why did not the Hon. Member for Pontefract bring forward a case which occurred some two years ago in which parties were proceeded against for not going tochurch ? Ig. o These statutes while they were on the st There -hook were alt h be enforced for some malicious purpose. denunciations against bell steeples and even us Christi against articles of wearing apparel , T he procession o f Cor p FRIENDLY SOCIETIES BILL. On the order of the day being read, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the Speaker do leave the chair, when Sir JAMES GRAHAM observed, that since the sub ject of friendly societies was last before the House he had had an opportunity of considering it more in detail, and was now in a position to bring in a Bill ►vhich would embody the whole of the Hon. Gentleman's amendments. He proposed, in the first place, to classify and specify all societies, de ejusdem generic, which should be in cluded in the operation of the Act, under one general head. He thought it would be of great importance to acopt the suggestion thrownout byChiefJustice Tindal. Mr. Tidd Pratt had, in the case of savings' banks, had the power of arbitra tion, and he proposed to give him, under this Act, the power of arbitration with regard to friendly societies, with a regular salary, He also proposed that there should be a record kept of all such societies as had been enrolled, with a short sum mary of the objects for which they were formed. He would, therefore, suggest that the House should go into Committee pro forma, and he would also suggest that the Hon. Mem ber should postpone the further consideration of the Bill for a fortnight, in order that these proposed alterations should be made known. Mr. DUNCOMBE said that he would not put the House to the trouble of considering the Bill on the present occasion, but he should accede to the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet, and allow this Bill to go into Committee pro forma, and then receive the alterations proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet. It WAS quite clear, after the statement of the Hon. Gentleman, that he must consider the Bill as destroyed. His object in introducing the Bill would not be in the least pre vented by the alterations of i Llie Right llon. Baronet. The object he had in view in bringing forward this Bill wet, simply to remove all doubt at present existing with regard to the decision of Justice Wightman, in the Court of Queen's Bench, and, in point of fact, to extend the operation of the Bill to all societies not illegal in themselves. He could not conceive why societies not of an illegal nature should not be benefited by the Act. Friendly societies were of great benefit to the industrious classes, and they should be more encouraged and better brought under the control of the law. He could not conceive that any society of an illegal or im proper nature would ventere to enrol their rules. He was very much afraid that the proposition of the Right Hon. Baronet would control the operation of the present Act with regard to the friendly societies now existing. It would be competent for him (Mr. Duncombe), when the hill was again produced, to suggest such amendments as he should think proper. He considered his Bill as com pletely gone ; but he would certainly do his best to reduce the alterations proposed. The Legislature intended when it inserted the words " and for any other• purpose not in itself illegal" that the operation of the Bill should extend to all societies of this nature. He understood that this alteration was introduced in 1834, by Lord Althorp, expressly for the purpose of allowing every society not for a criminal purpose to enrol itself. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that he should not object to the Act extending in future to societies to sup port workmen out of employment. There were such societies in existence, and unless the Act were made a retrospective Act, these societies would he destroyed or thrown into con siderable confusion. The law would do infinitely better if allowed to stand as it now existed, instead of introducing these alterations and leaving it to the discretion of Mr. Tidd Pratt as to what societies should be enrolled or not. As to the question of allowing a salary instead of fees, he left that to be settled by the Right Hon. Baronet and Mr. Tidd Pratt. He certainly believed that as a public officer no person had given greater satisfaction than Mr. Tidd Pratt. He was in constant communication with the industrious classes, and seemed to be an universal favourite amongst them. Ile would conclude by saying once more that lie would consent to the course proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet, and should afterwards take the earliest opportunity of offering such opinions as he thought necessary. The House then resolved itself into Committee upon the Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM said, he would take that opportunity to make one or two remarks on what had fallen from the non. Member. He thought that no other changes than those proposed in the Bill would be perfectly efficient. At the present moment, in case of any dispute amongst the members of friendly societies, they had no re medy but th. Court of Chancery ; and in order to obviate that, he (Sir James Graham) had proposed that Mr. Tidd Pratt should have the power of settling any such dispute by arbitration. The lion. Member had said when the last alteration in the Bill was introduced, the object of it was that all societies not of an illegal nature should be enrolled. He wished to call the attention of the Hon. Mem ber to a most important change which had taken place recently with respect to friendly societies. The House would remember that the interest of funds in savings' banks had been reduced to 31. ss. per cent., but on friendly societies' funds the interest was 3/. 16s. per cent. If that were con tinued the effect of it would be that all savings' banks would become friendly societies, to take the benefit of the increased interest. Under the operation of the Honourable Gentleman's Bill there could be no doubt that savings' banks were not illegal societies, but were asseeiations corning under the form of mutual assur ance societies. It was quite impossible that this state of affairs could be amended until the whole subject came under the cotislderetlonfif Paeliathent. Mr. WAKLEY said that it would be better to postpone the consideration of the Bill until after Easter, for it was very desirable that this subject should collie coMpletely under the attention of the Legislature. He had, with his lion. Colleague, been repeatedly urged to bring this subject for ward fur alteration ; but out of their efforts, and the ruins of the 13111, had arisen a tort of monster which would frighten all the parties interested.—(Hear.) He sitsi , great difficulty hi this matter, and he did not per ceive where there was any necessity for introducing these words, and this was the more evident from the circumstance that, although it was universally acknowledged, that savings' banke *ere hot political societies, yet they were in this Bill included precisely in the same dategtifY. Sir J. GRAHAM was not only not opposed to restricting the usefulness of friendly societies, but anxious by all the means in his power to promote it, and it was with a view to that object that he was desirous of introducing these altera tions into the Bill, as it was left by the Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Duncombe). Ito believed that by this means they would obtain the advantage of keeping the savings' banks associations to their proper character, and all he wished was that they might obviate the diffi culty which would otherwise arise. The Attorney and Soli citor General and Mr. Tidd Pratt had all been consulted, and they had all expressed An opinion that the alterations were both desirable and requisite. The alterations gave to parties desirous of avoiding the decision of Mr. Tidd Pratt the op portunity of appealing. within eight days to the Solicitor- General; and this alone, he thought, was a valuable altera tion, which ought to recommend itself to the House. Mr. B. lIAWES thought that this alteration would be a valuable improvement of the law, and if the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Duncombe) had not succeeded in obtaining all that he desired, he had at least this consolation, that he had been the instrument of effecting a great enlargement of the utility of friendly societies throughout the kicgdom. If he had not altered the it hole of the law, his proceeding had affected a great part of it, and the country had to thank him for a great public improvement, although he might not have ob tained all that he desired. Sir J. GRAHAM would beg to assure the Hon. Gentleman that the clauses to which he referred hid been most carefully considered, and had been framed so as not to affect the so cieties now in existence. Mr. Tidd Pratt bad bestowed much attention upon them, and every desire was felt to divest the measure of everything that was objectionable in its character. Mr. WAKLEY wished to know whether the Bill, as now amended, had received the approbation of Mr. Tidd Pratt. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—Most decidedly. The Bill then went through Committee, and the report was brought up. SALMON FISHERIES. Mr. PAKINGTON ros e to snore the second reading of this Dill. In doing so, he would only detain the House a very few minutes, but was complied to trouble them for that space, because he was aware that the provisions of the Bill were not kliown. Such being the circumstance. ;he would beg to state that the principal objects of this Bill are to consolidate the laws on fisheries, and to regulate the Casting the nets. The Dili Will be a very great improve ment on the law as it stands; and he should, therefore, at tsilo incite kemeOnd reading of the Bill. Captain HARRIS hdd fin desire to offer any opposition to the second reading of this Bill, but there were one or two of its propositions which appeared to him to be impracticable. OM Of the prOViliiOns wee, that no fishing should be made within two hundred yards of any dam, or within a certain distance of the banks. Now, upon the Avon, which was a great salmon fishing river, such a rule would prove most in convenient, and he thought that some other might be sub stituted for it. His object, however, was not to oppose the Bill, but merely to draw the attention of the Hon. Gentle man to the circumstance. After a few words from Mr. BUCK, who also declined any opposition to the Bill, it was read a second time, and or dered to be committed on the 6th of May. ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Mr. B. ESCOTT moved the second reading of this Bill. In doing so lie said he felt the high honour that had been done him in selecting him to move the second reading of this Mill, in place of the Hon. Member who was to have done so (Ma 11911. Member for liinsals.lt Ills Dill sought to remove BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

They struggled for some time at the door and in the street, and Do novan ultimately gave the prisoner in charge. The policeman who took the charge said that he saw the prisoner and Donovan struggling in the street, and did not see Donovan strike the prisoner. The prisoner said that on his refusal to " remember the porter," Donovan shut the door and would not let him out. lie attempted to force his way out, and Donovan struck him in the face. lie then re turned the blow, and he certainly did struggle with him, but it was in endeavouring to force his way out. _ _ Mr. JARDINE asked whether the prisoner had any witnessas? The prisoner said that his three friends went with him to the stat:on house, arid when the charge was made there be wished them to be examined, but the inspector refused to hear them, and he (primmer) told them not to come to the Police-court, as he thought it useless if they would not be heard. . . Mr. JARDINE said It was not the inspector's duty to hear evidence on the part of the prisincr o but If the witnesses were present they would now be heard. The prisoner said they were not present. Mr. JARDINE said that he would give the prisoner an.opPortunity of fending for his friends that they might be examined. The prisoner said that it would be useless to send for them, as they were professional men, and would not he at home. Mr. JARDINE said that as there was no reason to suppose that the witnesses were not speaking the truth, and as there was no evidence on the other side, he must convict the prisoner of the assault, and he would Mu) him 31., or in default of payment, one month's impri sonmeist. Inspector Pearce, of the F division, said that he wished to ob. serve that the Victoria wins-rooms were a very greet annoyance to the police. Complaints were very frequently made against Donovan by gentlemen from whom he had obtained money, but that few gen tlemen were willing to come forward against Donovan, as they did nct wish to expose the: elves.
