Old Amin:tie*. .. D tto Red. t,9S; N: iv Ditto which has been so often adverted to, and fir which the Noble Viceroy has been blamed by the Tories, his Lora ship observea-- ; All I can say is, that Mr. Blake was recommended to me by a Noble Friend of mine, then Whig as Vice-Lieutenant of the County of Mayo, by a relative of. my own ( Lord Dillon), and by many other headmen. I ascertained that Mr. Blake had acted as a magistrate for the county of Mayo for several years ; and I understood that his conduct had been without reproach. Upon this information—arid upon these recommendations—l did appoint him. Subsequently to the election for Sligo, a report for the first time reached me that Mr. Blake had for merly been dismissed from the Army by sentence of a court.. martial. 1 then took a step which I thought I was right in taking. I applied to my Noble Friend at "the head of the army for a report of that court martial. I read that report, and, conceiving that an Officer who had been thus dismissed her Majesty's service, ought not to be placed in the situation of a Stipendiary Magistrate, I cancelled Mr. Blake's appointment. I should, however, state that I heard that the whole case had been in vestigated ten years since by the late Lord Chancellor, Lord Manners, on his being recommended for'the Csnamission of the Peace ; and that Lord Manners had decided that he was fit to hold it. I repeat, however, that after perusing the proceedings of the Court Martial, I decided differently from Lord Manners, and Mr. Blake has accordingly. been dismissed.—(Cheers.) In closing finally the case of 14r. Blake, I must observe that, so far as his conduct could be noticed as a magistrate, no fault could be found with him. "—(Hear, hear.) This statement, like the rest of Lord Mur.ottAYE's speech, is clear and satisfactory, and will, we trust., set the question at rest for ever. We hope also that we shall hear n 1 more, his Session; about the " insurrectionary state" of Treliind, for what between the ingenious sophistries of Lord RODEN and the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the sound, argumentative rejoinders of Lords MULGIIAVE and MEL .

BuLLEts the❑ *moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Election Petitions Bill. A long debate, which we have made the subject of a separate article, ensued. The Order of the Day was carried by a ma jority of 54. Lord J. RUSSELL moved for the appointment of a Select Committee on the oreration of the Poor Laws Amendment Act. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. BARING, a Committee was appointed to consider the present state of the Communication by Rail roads, so far as it affects the transmission of letters and the Post-office in general. After which the llouse adjourned. A long discussion took place last night in the House of I Lords on the state of Ireland, the text of which was fur nished by the words " domestic tranquillity," as applkd to that country, which were introduced into one of the pa ragraphs of the Royal Speec . h. On this text. Lord RODEN delivered a speech—say, rather, preached a sermon—of in tolerable prolixity and sarpassing 'dullness. " SO far," he said, " from the state of Ireland being more tranquil than for a long period of time, (t no period, he would hardly except those of open insurrection itself, had property, had life, had the exercise of the Protestant religion iu Ireland, been in greater danger, than at the moment when he had the honour of addressing them. It might be said that the Judges had expressed themselves gratified at the Assizes, that the calendars were so small, which might be held forth as a proof of the .general.tran quality of the country. But he thought that the fact of the calendars being so small, when compared with the Pa pers he should move for, established his position, awl proved that the Law of Ireland was a dead letter ; that crimes were committed ; that the culprits were en larpid ; and that, therefore, the individual offenders were not brought to the bar of justice." So, it seems, that the solemn official declarations of the Judges of the land—those declarations which they make advisedly, after much consideration, and under a sense of onerous re. sponsibility—are no longer to have any value. They rre to be treated as opinions of no account— or if it be deemed necessaty to pay them some little de ference, then they are only to be looked on as so many proofs that " offenders are permitted to go at large, and are - not brought to the bar of justice." If this be not sacrificing all sense of truth, of justice, of propriety, to party spirit, we really know not what is! But suppose the Judges' charges had happened to coincide with Lord RoDEN's notions of' the state of Ireland—that instead of certificating an improved condition of things in that country, they had borne testimony to the fact that crime was more rife there than ever, does any man in his senses believe that, under such circumstances, this high Tory Lord would net have paid theni the most marked respect, treated their statements as oracular, and their authority as irresistible ? Most assuredly he would ; but at present party spirit is at variance with his sense of justice i blinds him to the truth of things ; and prevents hiM from either seeing or understanding any thing that does not ac cord with his own purblind views and sentiments. We look on his Lordship's speech last night as the greatest failure that even he has ever perpetrated. It abounded in mysterious hints and surmises; in assertions never proved; in statements which have been already contradicted. A few murders, and some forcible abductions—to say nothing of occasional meetings of nightly marauders—had, as he undeniably asserted, taken place in Ireland within the last few months ; wherefore he felt jastified in inferring that that country was in as ins aree tionary a state as ever ! What preposterous logic is this How narrow the premises—how comprehensive 'he deduction !—the one bearing about the same propor tion to the other that FALSTAFF'S halfpennyworth of bread bore to his ten shillings worth of sack ! If an occasional murder or act of spoliation is to prove that Ireland is in a state of insurrection ; how alarming must be the pres , nt equitable condition of England, where, within the last fortnight, not murders e resv ever p t r o in c e n ip u l s e ti o t constitute t e e less than six atrocious rs--as may be seen by the records of the daily journals—have been perpetrated. If surely, otvnl dozen should crnsiiiiito wholesale rebellion in England ! annecio;rfroa- Lord MOLORAVE replied to Earl RODEN in a manly, i itel ligent, and unanswerable spirit. He grappled with, an I overthrew, all his statements ; and proved, by a series of documents gathered from an i n fi n i te var i ety of sourc , s . that Majesty's Ministers %yens abundantly jnstifiel in i rJdocia4 tile term " domesti c i ranqu illif y '' into the Royal Speech. On the particular subject of Air. pLAKE, The first trial of strength between the Reformers and the Tories in the new House of Commons took place last night, and the result was the defeat of the anti-Reform faction by a majority of fifty-four. We shall no doubt be told that the Tories were taken by surprise —that they were not aware of the division—and so forth ; but these are futile sub terfuges which will not deceive the public, and which, even were they admissible, would not be very complimentary to the party who, with their accustomed modesty, has arrogated to themselves the sole guardianship of the laws, customs, and constitution of the country. The question upon which the division occurred is one of considerable importance. Mr. CHARLES BULLER had moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Election Petitions which • motion was met by an amendment from Loi;cl STANLEY, the purport of which_ was to postpone the second reading to the 12th of February. The Noble Lord was supported by Mr. WYNN, Sir E. SUODEN, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, but whoever expects to find in the speeches of either or all of these Hon. Gentlemen any thing like a rational argu ment for delaying the discussion of the measure, will be sadly disappointed. Lord STANLEY'S main stay was, that as Mr. O'CotewueL had given notice of his intention to in troduce a Bill having the same object in view, but proceeding en a totally different plan, it would be absolutely necessary to wait until both the Bills should be before the House, that it might be in a situation to judge which of the two was the best. Mr: O'CONNELL, whose hawk's eye at once per ceived the drift of the Noble I:ord, cut this ground from under his feet in a moment, by stating that rather than stand in the way of Mr. BULLER'S measure, he would re linquish his own. Sir EDWARD SUCHEN and Sir ROBERT PEEL contented themselves with nibbling at some of the . details, instead of discussing the principle of the measure. It ;is sufficiently evident from the course pursued by the Tory leader, and indeed by the. greater part of what fell from him--to use a Parliamentary phrase—that he and his party are in great trepidation lest this Bill, which will be the means of greatly improving the constitution and pral , tice of Election Committees, should pass into a law before the spurious petitions of the SPOTTIS• wooor. gang come to be taken into consideration by the House. Now, we sincerely hope that this will be the case, If it should not be so, the Bill will lose the greatest part of its value in the estimation of the public, for never was a more infamous plot hatched against the liberties of the people than that conspiracy of SPOTTISWOODE, BUR DETT and Co. As to the stuff uttered by the Right Hon. Baronet, about an ex post facto lasv, we are truly surprised that any man above the rank and education of an attorney's apprentice, should have shown so much ignorance of the meaning of an ex post facto law, as to apply that term to 'the proposed remedy for a crying evil. Madrid Papers of the 19th inst., inclusive, have been received this morning, together with the Speech .of the QCEEN•REGENT on opening the Constitutional Cortes on that day. Her MAJESTY was accompanied by her illus trious. daughter DONNA ISABELLA 11. ; but neither by the people 'nor by the ChaMbers was she received with and thing approaching to enthusiasm. Not a cheer greeted her ; the people gazing with cold indifference on the Royal pageant. Her MAJESTY appeared to feel deeply this decline of her popularity, and we do not doubt but that she heartily re pents of her contemptuous dismissal of the rate Cortes. 'l'hc Speech itself is altogether a string of common-place truisms and bombastic nonsense—more especially those pa ragraphs which refer to the Carlist movements in the Inte rior of the'Kingdom. The political genius of ERCILLA was -tame compared with that of the Minister who drew up the paragraph in the Speech beginning with " During the time which has passed since the breaking up of the last legisla ture," &c. It is however but justice to the Spanish Go vernment to state, that the framers of the Royal Speech cannot be charged with want'of gratitude to England ; for although no mention is made of the auxiliary legion, our marines are placed on the same footing as the naval and mili tary forces of her Catholic Majesty. Speech of the Queen-Regent of SPAIN on the opening - of the first Session of the Cortes, elected under the Constitu tion of 1837, on the 19th inst. : " I always experience the liveliest satis!action in fin,ling myself in this ball surrounded by the representatives of the nation, whom I consider the firmest support of the throne and of the Lim, gua ranteeing the liberties of the Spanish people. .• For the second time it is opportune that my beloved daughter Isabella the Second should be present on this solemn occasion, in order that the love of the institutions which are to render her reign and the nation over which she is to govern happy may be eugraven in her heart. " I continue to receive from the foreign Powers wile have ac knowledged the Queen, proofs of their amity and good under standing. . • " Though I deplore the death of the King of England, William the Fourth, I derive consolation from the circumstance that his illustrious successor, Queen Victoria, animated with the same sen timents as her august uncle, is closely united with his Majesty the King of the French and the Queen of Portugal, the patties to the Quadruple Treaty of Alliance. Those Sovereigns are favouring our cause with as much interest as ever ; to their generous assis tance we, in a great measure, are indebted for the safety of our frontier and of the vast extent of our coasts, through the anxious vigilance of the allied squadrons, and other efficient and seasonable assistance, which daily ox its more and more my profound grati tude. Amour.; them are of great value to our cause the measures adopted by his 3fAjesty the hing; of the French to prevent the ex tracting of war articles and provisions far the rebels (ruin the ex tensive line of the Pyrenees, and the permission granted in some cases to our troops to cross the territory of France. " The Cabinets with which we are not on the same terms do not for that show themselves hostile to Spain; it being hoped that when better informed of the recent successes of our arms, and of the unanimous resolution of Spaniards to support to the last the Queen's throne, there will be some change in their policy, espe cially when the atrocious conduct of the Pretender in his expedi tion to the centre of the'monarchy . comes to their knowledge. The Crown, beig i g duly authorised by a s p ec i a l l aw o f th e Cortex to c onc l u d e trek of peace and unity with the new States of Spanish America, upon the basis of the acknowledgment of their independence, I inform you with satisfaction that I have, in the name of the Queen, ratified the treaty concluded at Madrid, at the end of December of last year, between Spain and the Republic of Mexico, flattering myself that such reconciliation between two people, who should consider themselves as brothers, will produce incalculable good to both countries. " I am animated with the same feeling s towards the other States of America, in proof of which I have opened the ports of Spain to the merchantmen of Venezuela and Monte Video. " I have also ratified the articles of peace, protection, and com merce granted by the Captain-General of the Phillipine Islands to the Sultan and Daltos of Jolo. " The differences arisen between the military Government of Ceuta and the Moors of the frontier country have been adjusted in a satisfactory manner. ‘• I regret that the refusal of the Cabinet of Turin to concede the regzum exequater to certain consular agents in Spain should have occasioned the interruption of our mercantile traffic with that country ; but no occasion will be neglected of re-establishing it on the footing upon which it has al ways been carried on, and in accordance with the honour of the Throne and the dignity of the nation. " My Government has done and will continue to do all that is possible to remedy the evils caused by the devastating course which has been pursued by the rebel Prince, during which the towns have given such signal instances of loyalty and valour. In furtherance of this object, it is essential that industry should be sustained, and that commerce should nut be wholly neglected. Agriculture, the arts, roads, and canals are attended to with a care proportioned to the' extent to which they have suffered. Charity and public in struction will receive all the aid that the Government may be able to afford them; and every branch of the Administration will be upheld with greater effect than could be well conceived, consider ing the actual situation of Spain. " In the ultramarine provinces of the country my subjects enjoy the most perfect repose, and the great majority of their pacific po pulation will view in the light of a benefit the decision with which they are governed, according to lawn frarned to ensure their pros .ortint posse ssions b y means o f t h ose cruisers wh i c h are indis erity and aggtilldisernent.

PRNE sd. and constancy for which it has at all times been so much distin guished, and the same remark may be applied to the service neces sary on the northern coasts of the Peninsula and those of Ca talonia. The 'Minister of this department will present you a pro ject of law intended to give greater vigour to the administration of the Admiralty, and another also of anew commercial code. " Fully convinced that justice is the basis of social order, 1. will endeavour to overcome the obstacles which the actual state of things opposes in some particulars to its free and unembarrassed action. Finding the civil.code already concluded, and the criminal and that appertaining to the forms of judicial proceedings near:y so, the Government will hasten to present them to the deliberation of the Corte..;, as we:l as the projects of law for the organization of ,the tribunals, for.the definition,of their powers with the mode of executing them, and as to the stations which 'individuals will have to assume, that which rslates to their several responsibilities ac- companying them. " During the time which has passed since the breaking up of the last Legislature, the military operations have been moreactive • and important than at any other period of the civil war. Conquered in the country which, may be said to have been their cradle, and which was even the principal theatre of the insurrection, the rebels have sought in other provi nces th a t f or t une w hich had iere aban doned them. But, pursued without intermission, and beaten in Catalonia and in Valencia, they came at length to receive a Ithe gates of this capital the last and bitterest defeat. Many of"you have been witnesses of the imposing spectacle which Madrid Ire acnted when the enemy came in sight of it. I behold it still, and never will the lively acclamations of patriotic enthusiasm and loyalty which resounded in all parts when I passed w ith my angcist daughter through the files of those brave men who so anxiously panted for the combat, obliterated from my memory. You well know the result. Terror and desperation seized upon the soul of the enemy, and driven as far as it was possible to follow him, he flew •to conceal his disappointment in his ancient dens. In his flight and dispersion be his left some provinces,i , ifrsted with bands of his partisans, whO, favoured by the nature of the country, harass the smaller towns, and occasionally intercept communication. But the Government has already taken energetic means for exterminating them, and these will, no doubt, produce the desired effect in the course of a short time. " The army and the navy, under the command of the distin guished chiefs appointed to them, have acquired fresh claims to my gratitude and that of the nation, by the ardour and patience which they have evinced during this short but severe contest. "I am bound to make equally honourable mention of the effi cacious co-operation which has been afforded by the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, who have displayed their characteristic intrepidity and decision. " if for a moment there has been a relaxation in the military discipline of certain corps, and crimes of a deplorable nature have been perpetrated, the principal authors of them have been very promptly and severely punished, and my Government will take especial care fhat such excesses do not occur again. " M 3 Ministers will apply themselves to the examination and discussion of the propositions which remained undisposed of in the previous Legislature, and they will p rocee d t o arrange t h em next year, after they sh a ll have been fully digested and sanctioned.- " consequence of the great difficuties that have attended the 'struggle in Which we have been engaged, the long dur a ti o n o f which bitterly afflicts me, the public Treasury does not present al together so clattering an appearance as could be wished. The pre vious Cortes generously authorised my Government to employ such , means as the condition of the co entry permitted to face the obliga tions of the public service, and more particularly to provide for the probable deficit at the end of the current year ; but although the Government are doing, and will continue to do, their utmost, in order that these mattress may be realised, it is necessary to bear in mind that from the very nature of them they cannot, unfortu nately, be made available so quickly and completely as the state of the Exchequer demands. "'My Government will diligently occupy itself in the adininis tration of all the existing imposts, in augmenting their productive ness, and in diminishing the charges upon them ; in regulating the distribution of the public moneys, and in introducing into every de partment those retrenchments Which may seem compatible with the interests of the State. And, lastly, as circumstances may im prove, they will not fail to keep in view the position of the national and foreign debts, the interest on which, owing to the great and urgent calls upon the treasury since last year has been unhappily otglected. " Such, Senors, is, in fine, the state of the nation. If it is not so prosperous as my ardent wishes would have led me to desire the misfortune is to be attributed to the evils arising from the scourge of civil war. But 1 assure you that the speedy termina tion of this will be the first object of my endearours, and that to which my Government will apply itself with the utmost prompti tude and activity. " I do not doubt that they will receive from you all the co-ope ration win h it may seem necessary to afford them, with the view to bring about so desirable a result; as well as to maintain public order, and to preserve inviolate the Constitution to which we have sworn, objects that will be best promoted by union and perfect harmony between the various powers of the empire. The whole of the. Paris Papers of Sunday have been received. Advices from the North of Spain represent the QUEEN'S troops as greatly enraged on account of the mili tary execution of the gallant Colonel Don LEON IRIARTE, by command of ESPARTERO. We are not surprised at it. The brave IRIARTE was shot on the 16th, for the murder of SAmtsFirLD —a crime which he had neither the influence to prevent no; the power to punish ; an'l which was only a crime because committed without the forms of law. SAARSFIPI.D was unquestionably a,. traitor to the Constitutional cause. After the execution of Don LEON IntAtm: and five others, on the 16th, ESPARTEKO pro ceeded to Vittoria to punish• the murderers of Colon,' MIENDIYIL. The illoniteur of Sunday contains the following Royal Ordinance, reducing the duty on coals imported to France by both sea and land—a document of some importance to English coal exporters : Louis Philippe, King of the French, er,n4id ring the law of the 2J July, 1836, which has regulated the tariff upon im ported coals— Considering the 34th article of the law of the 17th Decem ber, 1814— We have ordered, and do order, the following : Art. 1. From the publication of the present ordinance the duty upon imported foreign coals shill be reduced as follows : Coals imported by sea—From the Sables d'Olonne exclu sively to Dunkirk inclusively, by French ships 50 c., by fo reign ships lf., the 103 kilo,gramines, ' Coals imported by land—From the sea to Halluin inclu sively, 50c. the 100 kilojammes.

The unexpected and startling announcement of Lord Juhit Russell, the turn which the debates in the Commons have taken, and the hopes and fears excited by the whole, have created much uneasiness and alarm in the minds of the meet mod: rate, and considerable sensation among all. In Dublin all men are politicians, and you can read the public m i n d al you walk along. There seems to be no occupation and Ile idea but politi ca l on es . I n Lond o n,. in perhaps all parts of England, politics are subservient, or at least secondary, to the business of life—in Dublin all business is secondary to politls cal speculation. I u th e st re ets, at th e hotels, in the hail of the Courts—that great lounze of busy idlers—the endless topic is the state of' the nation, or the chances of parties. That the circumstances of this week should obtain a great bold over the thoughts of the public world here will not there fore seem wonderful ; and 3ou will-not be astonished to hear that Lord John Russell's speech is the only thing talked of. The principal feeling respecting that speech is one c.f great regret. The Irish people arc not in the same situation of safety as the. English Reformers. All the improvements sought by the latter are only the means to ensure wiser Go vernment and better laws, and involve in most instances but abstract or ideal t ights. But with the Irish the case is very different—their's is a struggle for life or death—whether there may be execution without trial, or law without corruption. Every earthly int eres t i s a t s t a k e; an d having once, and once only, during so l ong a connect i on with England, obtained a fair administration of even a bad law, they would be dew to peril it, for the sake of vindicating an abstract principle. When I say they, I by no means include the entire people; but I am certain that a ;treat majority feel thus, and that among the majority are all those who have an influence over the public mind. These are the men who think most deeply on the speech of the Home Secretary, and feel most intensely its not in prob consequences. All men, except the Ttoies, are loud in deprecating the course pursued by Mr. %Vakley. However people may differ as to the question cif keeping further faith with Ministers (and that is fiercely discussed), there is but one opinion respecting Mr. Wakley's amendment—condemnation. I have not heard a single person attempt to palliate; much less justify, his conduct. The supporters of the Ballot as an essential instrument of good government, the admirers of Universal Suffrage as the only medium of popular controul, and those who think those sub.. jects as partially valuable, and to be urged only concomitantly with other improvements less extensive but more prattleable, all join in denouncing his conduct as injurious to the best in.. tercsts and hopes of every party. As to the reason alleged by Lord John Russell for speaking plainly on the subject of the Ballot, there are many who are satisfied with it ; many who admire his•candour ; but few who can reconcile that reason with his extreme anxiety to exclude from the Royal Speech all topics calculated to give offence. He seems to be excessively desirous not to make her Majesty a party to any offensive political principle at one side ; but he did anticipate disappointment from another quarter, and he came prepared to risk a differen2e of opinion, and to create a division where all was confidence and union before. It would be rash and foolish to ruffle the angry feelings of the foes of good goverpment, but there was no delicacy to dare the anger of its friends. - To your English readers this discussion may appear old and out of t ; but I have felt it necessary to p u t y ou i n posses sion of the unsubsiding interest which the division and discus sion have evoked ; and the deep and settled anxiety felt by a!l classes of Reformers ori o these subjects. The news received through the provincial papers is void of intereg, particularly at this crisis. The only feature in the intelligence from the country in the slightest degree im portant is an account of a meeting of Magistrates, held in the town of Tipperary, to petition the Lord Lieutenant for the 'application of the present Coercion Bill to the barony, of Clanwilliam. Serious outrages have been lately committed in that barony, and a most revolting murder, which the " State of the Country Journals" have given about twenty various editions of—that murder is the principal cause alleged for the application made to the Executive ; and however atrocious the deed maybe, nothing could be less in the Way of the calumniating press or 'the calumniating gen try, for it appears that it was occasioned by a family quarrel, and long cherished hatred. The recent murder was but revenge for a former murder committed by the victim on this occasion. This may occur in any country, or under any law ; and indeed very recenily a similarly brutal murder has been perpetrated in England ; yet in Ireland it is mai° a pretext to proclaim an entire district in a state only short of actual rebellion. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OP LORDS.—Nor. 27. The llolve sat at Four o'Clock. The Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Haddington, and the Earl of Munster took the oaths. . Nothing further transpired' till the Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five Minutes past Five. Lord A BINGE R laid a Bill on the table, which was read a first time ; but the Learned Lord spoke in so indistinct and low a tone of voice as to be perfectly inaudible in the gallery. THE BALLOT. Lord YARBOROUGH presented a petition from the inhabitants of Lincoln, praying► that Parliamentary elections might be conducted by Ballot. The petition was very respec tably signed ; and %%hen the question to which it related came before the House, his Lordship would be very happy to give his assent to it.—(Cbeers.) The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the Lord Provost and Chief Magistrates of Glasgow, praying that all public and national edifices for the reception of the arts might be thrown open. NATIONAL EDUCATIONr The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition, in the ab sence of the Bishop of Gloucester, signed by 5,048 of the male inhabitants of Cheltenham, on the important subject of National Education. An attempt was now making, to which it was right to call public attention, to pate the way for the intro ibx Lion of a system of education, compulsory, and purely secular; that was to say, a system of education of which the public should be compelled to take, and from which should be isx eluded the Word of God, not only in its entire form, but in short selections. This was attempted by a number o f per sons, calling themselves the Centr a l Society of Education. The Society, though not numerous, was still not inactive ; and he was happy now to have an opportunity of cautioning the public in the strongest terms against the promulgation oPits princi ples. One of its members was a distinguished member of the Catholic Church, who has a seat in the Lower House of Parliament, and he, in conjunction with an English barrister, had been in the country lecturing on the subject. Notwith standing the defeat they sustained at Liverpool, they convened a meeting at Cheltenham over which leading men of the county presided, and then they set forth its principles. , - The result was, that a - petition, emanating from that meeting, was sent round for signatures in favour of the system, and about 140 names ha ias yet been obtained to it. The principles- of it were dangerous in the extreme, and upon the face of the system included a more extensive exclusion of the Word of God.--( Hear, hear.) The clergy of that town 'lost no time in calling an opposite meeting of their townsmen, which was most numerously attended, at which many very eloquent speeches were delivered, and from which came the present petition to Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) There was another petition signed by females, but the present petition was signed by upwards of 5,000 males. He felt it to be his imperative duty as a Minister of the Established Church to enter his protest against such a system of education in this country. There was a notion prevailing that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to favour such a system ; but he could not possibly give credit to the foundation of any such rumour.—( Hear.) Such compulsory mode might do either for Saxony or Prussia, but it never could do for this country. He was aware that the Noble and Learned Lord on his right ( Lord Brougham) enterta'ncd strong opinions on the subject of National Educa tion ; but lie was not aware that even that Learned a nd N o bl e Lord had ever gone so far a 3 to exclude religion from the sys tem of education in this country. Lord de SA UNI ARE Z had - been reque;ted to support the petition, and he heaitly concurred in the statements which it contained. J-le thought there could be no greater blot upon the character of a Ctiri&ni country, than 0-at a system or education should be established upon any other basis than the 'Scriptures. EXPULSION OF CATHOLICS FROM _ . PARLIAMENT. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, who spoke in a tone nearly inaudible, postponed the presentation of the petition of which he had gis en nctice to Friday next. EDUCATION. Lord BROUGHAM said,--My Lords, Thad net the ad santage of hearing the observation; oleic Right Rev. Prelate in presenting his petitios, as I had only just entered the Homo as"the Clerk was reading it. Not having heard his observations therefore I shall abstain from making any remarks on the me rits of the petition. But, in answer to one part of the obser vations which I did hear, although I will not say anything of the Right Rev. Lord's commentary upon the petitions, lest I should misrepresent; him ; yet I will say, that I do not be lieve that there is on the part of her Majesty's Government, or of any. other association of men, either in office or out of oflic, either corporate or unincorporated, or of any individual who has education at heart, and who is impressed with its paramount importance "to this country, 'any intent'on of proxoting a legislative measure, either with the purpose of making education compulsory upo n th e p eop l e —( God forbid—unless you wish to make education hateful to the people)--or to, establish any system of education, excluding religion. Although that is my opinion of the conduct which others would pursue —a nd I think 1 may confidently say that I am right in that opinion --there is one party at least to whom my Right Reverend Friend has courteously alluded—(Cries of " Hear")-1 mean myself, of whom I can speak more positively. Indeed, my Lords, I should steer wide and clear of coming within the scope of the observations which I have heard from the Right Rev. Prelate. The Bill which I have before had the honour of presenting to your Lordships, I shall h a v e aga i n to present to you early i n t h e next term; (the Noble and Learned Lord intending after . the recess), and I consider that it em b races t h e mo st important part of this important question.—(Hear, hear.) I hope that in what 1 sa,y I may not be deemed to commit myself in another direction. For, if lam of opinion that education should be by no means compulsory upon the people, I any equally of opinion that there ought to be the most careful rejection and exclusion of any principle in the measure which could give to the Established Church, or to any Single sect,. any preponderance, dominion, or power exclusively and " paramountly" over the education of the peoi;le of this country. I have now to present to your Lord, ships a petition closely and intimately connected with this subject, from the great and important town of Sheffield..
