The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of night :—] SPORTING 0 Tik.3. No. CCXXIII. ' - '7.RODUCTORY GLANCE AT THE DERBY, &c. TO THE EDIIOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—,By way of comeecucing my final remarks on that race of races, the Derby—withent exception the greatest stake in the universe, both in value and the in terest it excites—it is my - intention to-day to lay before the sporting readera of The Sun the names of those horses that will be absentees from Epsom, and likewise those that are in active preparation for the ensuing great event. There is a third class which may send forth a few starters, or may not, nhent which at present I can say nothing. The following list includes all the certain non starters:—Filly by Fancy Boy, Rolando , Bull's-eye, Greyleg, Oh Don't colt, Tomato, The Surveyor, Dis may, The Monk, Hugo, Weathergage, Wiasma colt, Nutcracker, The Prophet, Little John, Croat, Hymettus, Hesperus, Rosary, Magnes, Hyacinth, Dollond, The Corporal, Glendinning, The Varmint, Tom Pinch, Fortis, Pelopidas, Bold Boy, Poodle, Sir John Franklin, Mecca colt, Ilex, Lens, colt by Slane dam by , Camel, Hecate colt, Bewick, Alarm's dam colt, Canter bury, Delia colt, Gerard, General Washington, Man grove, The Major, The Old English Oak, Bob Major, Songster, Science colt, Hautboy, Haitoo colt, Water Lily, The Monarch, Brother to Deicoon, Odessua, Letter press, Constantine, Governor, Baron Martin, Sir William Harper, John of Leyden, Richard Primmer, Geleon, Al hanabra, Sir John Barleycorn, Duke of Leinster, Snar ler, Garibaldi by Gladiator, Jennala colt, St. Alban, Cavan, Royal George, The Odd Lad, Grand Duke, Lucio, Chopkins, Breastgirth colt, Rebecca colt, Cleveland, Saredon, Garibaldi by Moss Trooper, Captain Flash, Sister to ' Johnny colt, Cruiskeen colt, Ocean Monarch, Harry Bluff, Norham, Gatti more, Fama colt, Azsel, Clumsy Jack, The Suttler, colt by Hetman Platoff, dam by Camel, St. Andrew, Wiagenund, Wideawake, Livermore, Orpheus, Free trader, Houlakin, Glee colt, Theodine, George the Third, Horton Yates, Emerystono, Nonsuch, Don Carlos, La zarus, Young Hawthorn, Ovando, Dogberry, Glen 0: Auchisis, Bird of Prey, Caracara, Fancy Bird, Chimney Sweep, Showman, Guzerat, Lord of the Manor, Child of the Mist, San Benito, Don Issachar, Blackstone, Pea cock, Stratagem, Constitution, Fancy Free, Xenophon, Macedonian, and Wedlock filly. Those horses who are in active preparation are the following,—Augur, King of Trumps, Ambrose, Orelio, Alfred the Great, Hobbie Noble, Homehrewed, Har binger, Kingston, The Nabob, Buckthorn, Alcoran, Young Hammoud, Maidstone Joe Miller, Stockwell, Claver h o use, Little Harry, Maidstone, Treasurer, Elcot, and Convulsion. Both Stapleton and Father Thames, I believe, will be missing from John Day's lot, and Lapidist from Cooper's stable. The starting of Daniel O'Rourke and Phantom from Scott's is somewhat doubtful, though one or other may be sent. General Anson's Princess colt may be sent to the post also; as may Old Rowley or Claverhouso by Launcelot from W. Day's stable; Masham from Saunders's, or Peppermint from Wad low's. Golden Age may appear as a starter, as also easy the colt by Phlegon and Hierarchy. All these latter remarks are, however, purely speculatiye, and founded on no information of my own. I shall proceed no further in my remarks on the Derby to-day, merely considering this as introductory matter, and adjourn them, therefore, till Thursday next, when I shall lay before my readers a curious batch of news concerning those horses who are preparing and intended for this great event. I perceive by the entries for the Rowley Mile Plate that no great light will be thrown on the Derby by its rzeult to-day. The runners for the SuilOik Stakes to-morrow will be St. Antonio, Tophana, and Maria. Poodle and Hugo may also go, but it is understood to be very dubioue. The betting this mornicg is quiet at the following qaotatiaas: —Suffolk Stakes--6 to 4 agst St. Antonio; 2 to 1 agst_Maria. 10 Soya. Stakes-5 to 2 agst Arethusa filly; 4 to 1 agat any other. Cleveland Handicap (Sarowsbury)-5 to 2 agst Lenny Whont. Derby—G to 1 agst Hobbio Noble; 8 to 1 each agst Little Harry and Aleoran; 11 to 1 agat Claverhouse; 12 to 1 agst Stock well; 15 to 1 agst Alfred the Great; 16 to 1 agat Kings ton; 25 to 1 agst Oreiio; 25 to 1 agst Joe Miller; 30 to 1 agst Elcot; 30 to 1 agst Augur; 50 to 1 agst Missive; 50 to 1 agst Buckthorn. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 11, 1852. THE KAFIR WAR. (From the London Gazette of last E►ening.)

SUGAR—To-day the West India Sugar market was well supplied. At auction 283 hhds 35 tierces and 11 bris Barbadoes were sold at the previous currency; fine yellow went at 393 to 405, good middling to good 36s 6d to 383 6d, middling 34s 6d to 363, ordinary 32s to 348, brown 31s; 60 Welds Demerara crystalized realised full rates, fine went at 423 6d to 43s 6c.1, middling to good 38s to 40s, and washed 333 to 393 6LI per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a lively home trade demand, brown lumps selling at 46s 6d, and low to fine grocery 47s to 50s per cwt. Of Crushed Sugar many parcels were taken for shipping at former terms. _ _ MArrnirrius.-This afternoon the parcels of Mauritius Sugar offered at public sale were large, and amounted to 14,000 bags, but the whole sold; in some cases the rates taken were, however, rather under those of Fri day; fine and superior yellow went at 36s to ails, good 343 6.1 to 35s 6d, low to mid 33s to 345, middling to fine grey 33s 6d t0'363 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon the public sales of Ben gal comprised 2,500 bags; white Benares, of which nearly the whole consisted, went at stff rates, and realised 37s to 40s for fine and superior, damp and washed 36s to 38s Gd; a small proportion of Khaur sold at 24s to 255, and ordinary soft yellow 25s Gd to 26s 6d; these aro rather lower terms. The former value is barely supported for Madras, and the public sales of 2,000 bags went at 25s to 26s for middling to fine soft brown, at 263 6d to 28s for low to good yellow, and bettor aorta 293 to 303 6d. Penang realised the full value, and 2,200 bags at public sale all found buyers, ordinary to good soft yellow 27s to 293, fine 303 to 325, and like Mauritius 33s to 355, middling to good white 35s 6d to 36s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-To day there was again an active demand for foreign Sugar, chiefly for shipping, but no further advance has been established. Since Friday the opera tions are 3,000 chests yellow Havannah from 35s to 393 6d, and 25,000 to 30,000 bags clayed Manilla in bond at 19s 6d to 203 per cwt COFFEE.-To-day Native Ceylon was in excellent re quest. At auction 672 bags sold at 433 6d for good ordinary, and at 32s 61 to 40s Gd for damaged. Plan tation Ceylon met with a good demand and realised the full currency. At auction 327 casks and 196 bags were sold, superior realised 725, fine 63s 6d to 655, good and middling 573 to 593, low middling 55s to 565, other sorts 503 to 553, triage 58s 6d to 69s 6d per cwt. Cocoa.-Sales of Trinidad, fine red made at 39a to 443, good 363 to 38s, low to middling 333 to 355, grey 30s to 335, and Grenada from 29s to 345. There is yet reluctance to operate in Foreign and a desire evinced to sell at previous low terms. At auction 694 bags Para were taken in at 255. The value of Guayaquil is 28a to 29s per cwt. MorassEs.-To-day Molasses met with leis attention, and at public sale 162 puns of Demerara Molasses were taken in at 13s per cwt, being the former value. TEA.-To-day several thousand chests of Tea were sold at stiffer rates, and low to good ord Congou realised 8d to 9id per lb. RICE.-Prices have not improved for Eaat India, but the demand has been rather better. The private ope rations are 4,000 bags, and rates for good to fir? white Bengal rule at 9s 93 to 103 6d, mid and good mid 9s to Os 6d, Broken Ss 63 to 8s 9d, Cargo Bs, Madras, pinky 7s 93 to 8s 6d, Coringa Grain 8s 6cl to 9s; Pearl Barley and American 8s 6d to 93, and Moulmein 9a to 103. At auction 3,352 bags Java were sold at 103 6d to Ils for good sound white. For Patna a good demand prevails at 1 Is to 163, and town-dressed Carolina 21s to 27s per cwt. Several parcels of Sago have been taken privately; small Pearl at 15s to IBs, largo and medium 21s to 24e. For Sago Flour the market is quiet at 14s, and Farina at 15s to lis per cwt. Of Arrowroot, supply keeps light, and the rates paid for Bermuda are la Id, St. Vincent's 3117(1, Brazil and East India 111 to 2:11; orders are on the increase for Tapioca, and rates for Rio range at 2d to 31d, Bahia and Para lid to 3d per lb. INDIGO.-The quantity declared for sale was 6,171 chests in the A, and 1,185 in the B catalogue, total 7,356 chests; of which 255 chests were not printed, or withdrawn previous to the commencement of the sale, leaving the quantity to be brought forward 7,101 chests. 930 chests have passed the sale this day. The attendance of foreign and home buyers was larger than usual in the May sale. The first 400 chests in the catalogue were Kur pahs of European manufacture, and well suited for export orders; they sold with considerable spirit at an advance of 61 to 9d on the prices of the last sale. A few small marks of dry leaf Madras followed, and went off un evenly at 4d to 6d advance. The latter part of the day was occupied with a few marks of Bengal, which sold as follows, as compared with the February sale's prices:- Good and fine shipping 5d to 6d advance, middling 6d to Bd, and ordinary 5d to 6d. Proprietors bought in 200 chests, leaving 730 chests sold. SALTPETRE.-The market has a dull aspect, and there is a more plentiful supply; a decline took place to-day of is per cwt for the better sorts. Of 500 bags Calcutta at auction a small part only sold, 6} per cent. good quality at 283 61, Si ditto 275, and mid 10{ at 263. Privately the lower sorts are offered at 24s 6d to 253 6d per cwt. British Refined met with a slow sale at 29a 61 to 303, and is likely to be cheaper. Nitrate of Soda is 14s 6d to 15s. OlLS.—This afternoon the public sale of Palm Oil went off at an advance, and 100 tons sold at 26s 6d to 27s 3d for good to fine quality. TALLow.—Notwithstanding the time of year, and heavy stocks, there has been a good business concluded, and prices are higher on the spot; fine yellow Russian realizing 363 9d to 375. A larger demand exists for de livery, and 37s 9,1 to 383 is now the value for the last three months of the year. Home melted is dearer, and sales are to a fair extent made at 36s 6d net cash. For other sorts of Tallow there is also an advance.

In Mid• dies many purchases have been made at rates ruling from 44s to 465. A lively demand exists for mess Pork, and supply being light, rates have advanced, Irish prime selling at 75s per barrel; and Bacon mess 72s 6d. Irish India is much in demand and 1203 to 122 s 6d per tierce is the value.

On the motion of Lord LYNDIIURST this Bill passed through Committee. REPAYMEN r OF ADVANCES (IRELAND) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On tho motion of the Elrl of LONSDALE this Bir was read a second time. Lord REDESDALE, pursuant to a notice, presented a petition from an individual, complaining of the inter ference of the Commissioners of Excise with the sale of a preparation of mangel Wurzel or beet-root, called books, and praying that it may be put on the same foot ing with chicory. The Earl of DERBY said that there was no prohibi tion against the sale of this preparati o n so long as the petitioner chose to call it by its o wn name; the only ob jection was to his mixing it with coffee and selling it by that name. After a few words from Lord RSDESDALM and the Earl of WICKLOW the petition was ordered to lie on the table. MAYNOOTH. The Duke of ARGYLL rose to present several peti tions from Scotland against the grant to May nooth. All these petitions proceeded on the ground that it was morally wrong for us to grant sums of money to support institutions for the propagation of a religion which we did not believe to be the true one. For his own part he must say that he did not concur on this ground for the abolition. To his mind the question was one of policy merely. He was deeply grieved to per ceive the course which had been taken by the great constituencies of Scotland on this question in exacting pledges from the candid a t es now canvass i ng t o vote in f av our of this abolition, and he considered it to be the duty of their Lordships, placed as they were above the necessity of mingling with a popular constituency, whenever they considered that the course which popular agitation mieht take on any particular question to be likely to ba dangerous to the public policy, to enter their protest against it. NATIVE INDIA. Lord MONTE AGLE rose to present a petition on the subject of the position and political rights of the natives of India under the last Act for the renewal of the charter. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY l 2l 185'2. admitted that the Hon. Gentleman was quite justified in putting the question; hut he could assure him and the House that the attention of the Government to th 3 cir cumstances connected with the induction of Mr. Bennett had been unremitting.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted, that after having made that declaration the Hon. Gentleman would not press for further inrormation.—(Hoar.) B.ORSMAN was unwilling to trespass further, pefhaps, the Right Honceirabh) Gentleman would state when the House might expect to be further informed on this subject? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could fix no particular day, but he certainly did expect that it would be in his power to communicate something definite to the House speedily—(Hear, hear)—when he would not wait for any question to be asked him, hut would afford the information voluntarily.—(Hear, hear.) THE " DUNFERMLINE NEW 3." In reply to Mr. FIUME, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that ho knew nothing of Mr. Fletcher, who had written to the pro prietors of this publication threatening to prosecute them on behalf of tho Inland R3venue for publishing without a stamp.

Mr. RICH gave notice that this day month he should submit a motion to the House relative to the operation of the metropolitan police force. THE PACHA OF EGYPT. Mr. ANDERSON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether her Majesty's Government had received any official information of the termination of the dispute between the Porte and the Pacha of Egypt' and particularly of the withdrawal of the proposal by the Pens to deprive the Pacha of the power of life and death in Egypt? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad great pleasure in informing the House that the difficulties which bad existed between the Porte and the Pacha of Egypt had terminated, and Government had received an official notification of a complete adjustment having taken place.—(llear' hear.) The Porte had conceded to Abbas Pacha the right of in flicting capital punishment for the term of seven years — (Hear, hear, and a laugh) —and the Pacha had accepted that compromise as perfe c tl y (Laughter.) satiafaetory.— THE CAPE. Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Colinies—first, whether be would have any objection to lay on the table of the House the Con s ti tut i on of the Cape of Good Hope, as amended by the Legislative oun • C cil• seco ndly, whether there is any truth in t he alarming report, that the Boors under Pretorius lay claim to the Orange Sovereignty and Natal, have set the British authority at defiance, and have attacked the native tribes? Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said the Eon. Baronet laboured under an erroneous impression in supposing that the ordin ances which had been received were com plete; they were, in fact, not, strictly speaking, ordi nances, as they had not yet received the sanction of the Governor; and it would, therefore, be premature at present to lay them before the House.—(Heart hear.) With regard to the second happy to question, be was to state that the dispatches which had recently been received contained no grounds for the rumour to which the Hon. Baronet had referred. Sir W. MOLESWORTH wished to ask the Hon. Member for Staffordshire if ho had received information on the subject? Mr. ADDERLEY was about to state that his infor mation confirmed the report, but the Hon. Gentleman was stopped by The SPEAKER, who stated that it was very unusual to ask a private Member a question concerning a Go vernment departraent.—(Hear, hear.) THE REV. BBNisIETT. Mr. HOILSMLIN said it would be in the recollection of the House that this day three weeks he had sub mitted a moti on to the House on the subject of the induction ,of the Bev. Mr. Bennett to the vicarage of Frome, and it would also be remembered that the Government prom i se d to inquire i n to the circumstances, w hi c h he then brought before the House. It was three weeks since that motion was made, and he therefore hoped he was n ot exhibiting an y undue haste in asking what steps had been taken for in stituting the inquiry and with what result?—(Hear.) The "AZ QELLOR of the EXCLIEQUELS Willingly MAYNOOTH GRANT. Mr. SPOONER then rose to move for a Select Committee to inuire into the system of education carried on at the College of Maynooth. Ho was confident that in bringing forward his present motion he would receive the liberal and kind indulgence of the House.—(Hear, hear.) At the outset he would say he was anxious to abstain from hurting the feelings or wounding the consciences of members of the Roman Catholic faith. He had no quarrel with individuals, but in the fullness of the Protestant faith, he would give to every individual the right of private judgment. He quarrelled with the system of education at Maynooth. He charged it with being injurious to ociety of having a tendency to create immorality, and of being subversive of the true principles of aide giance.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hoar.") He maintained that the original grant was based on a bad principle, and that the forebodings of those who opposed it had been completely realized. Tho system was antagonistic to the word of God, and was in fact a national sin. As such, therefore, it was his earnest wish to have the grant removed. He would refrain from all political argument, and' confine himself simply to the policy ot the measure. He meant to conclude by asking for an inquiry into the system of education pursued at the College of Maynooth. That would probably be met by a common but, he thought, unfounded assertion, that nothing could be gained by the inquiry, as the House already knew every thing connected with the system of education. He would now lay before the House the authority of Sir Robert Peel to show that such an inquiry was at all times incumbent on the House. He believed that gene , rally the contents and nature of the books used in the College were unknown. When Sir R. Peel settled the grant by Act of Parliament, he said he did not agree in opinion that the system of instruction ought to be a matter of indifference to the House. But it was said they could not revoke a grant which had been solemnly made. On that he joined issue. Was he to be told that the House could not recall its own gift if it saw sufficient reasons for doing so? Lord J. Russell also stated, in April, 1845, though he did not agree that they should sud denly stop advancing further sums, he considered that ; if the persons who benefited by them b-came the leaders of rebellion, or sought to injure the community, there would be a valid reason for withdrawing all assizeince from the college. That was a sound con , stitutional principle, and was applicable to the present question. No one could deny that the priests educated at Maynooth had from time to time, and especially recently, offered resistance to the power of the Crown and the constitution as by law established. They said, in fact, that they would never be content while the incubus of the Established Church continued to exist.—(Loud cheers from the Irish Members.) lion. Members opposite admitted that, but by the oath of allegiance which every Roman Catholic took in that House, they were bound not to injure the Established Church.—(Cheers.) These priests were not teachers of religion, but the leaders and conductors of rebellion, and he held that they were at liberty to repeal the grant whenever they found that it was employed for purposes injurious to the public weal, and dangerous to the welfare of the Monarchy. The great concession had not been re ceived by the Roman Catholics in the liberal and confid ing spirit in which it was made. The Propaganda expressed the deepest feeling of delight at the exceeding munifi cence of the Government of England, but unfortunately the practice pursued at Maynooth did not coincide with what might have been expected under the circumstances. The books used in the college said that every person baptized iu the Roman Catholic Church should be con sidered to be under the dominion of that Church. They also contained the doctrine that the Church had the power to dispense with all oaths and vows when cir cumstances might render it necessary or expedient. They then proceeded to point out 24 ways in which oaths might be got rid of.—(Hear, and laughter.) He would not go through the entire 24, but would g V a few of them. Bain, upon moral theology, in vol. 7, chap. 2, page 343, says:—" A promissory oath obliges, under the penalty of mortal sin, to do that which is pro mised in the oath, unless a legitimate cause excuses." At page 345 there is a chapter with this title—" Of the causes which prevent or take away the obligation of an oath." Of these, seven are named; the third is—" Tho hindering of a greater good which is opposed to that promised in the oath" (which is sus ce p tible ofa wide ecclesiastical range). The seventh cause pre t v a elt l ing en i d s the " limitation, either expressed, or e o v f en the swe y arer. silently understood, For, in every oath cerotfainthgeenienrtaeln'elonrid.itions are, from justice and use, included; one of them is, i t s i , on ' ) u t n e less you , `saving accept, unless you remit,' another (c di the right of another.' " If a religion w ere taught which i bound men to look upon an oath n the manner there h referred to, what security cou ld they have for t forth — e (Ha obser vanceer of an oath by those wh o wer_slo taughtnse whether The voice they ; hear.) lie therefore asked the H would refuse to inquire into thissystem? such things must not, the whole kingdom was , that and should not be; a nd that was a voice which ere long would be beard in a . way_which the House of Commons could n o longer r© ist.—entear, hear.) It was for those reasons that he asked the House to in quire into, and put a stop to this system in time, e before pressure they were compelled to do so d by "thefrom olvr cameiasellr Wiseman e n ; onwTht eo without," which it was always ange a ro . us H t e o provoke, for once provoked, it could never be of st another point, and it was one C saoY a m rd e in im al p House would recollect when he openly professed that his ob re turned to this country feet was to establish the canon law. Now what said the Lord Bacon of the Roman , Catholics—their great ex-' I pounder of the canon law? In every promiss o ry no ; e ," says Reiffenstual , wri tin g on the subject of oaths, in his "Jas Canonicum Universam," which is a standard book at Maynooth — " though made absolutely, th ere are un doubtedly, certain tacit conditions, as first, If lam able'—and sec ondly, saving the law and aut h or i ty of m y su p e rior.' " That was the canon law whi c h Cardi na Wiseman was endeavouring to establish in this country, and which was taught in the College of May nooth. Once let Cardinal Wiseman get the Roman Catholics of England to believe that that canon law was binding upon them, and he (Mr. Spooner) would ask what security the people of this country had for the preservation of their property, their happiness, and some of their best interests. The Honourable Member proceeded to read a series of extracts from various R o man Catholic commentators on the canon law, and from Roman Catholic books, with the view of showing, among other things, that if a person in communion with the Roman Catholic Church had sworn anything which the Pope conceived to be contrary to his dignity, such an oath was not binding on his conscience, and generally the light in which heretics were regarded by that church. He contended that, in the treatment of heretics, one principle alone pervaded the whole teaching of the Ro man Catholic Church, and that was that they were to be tolerated until the time arrived when they could be al together put down, and that if at any particular period it was thought an attempt to accomplish that end would not be successful, the Church was to bide its time, until circumstances became changed by its becoming more do minant. or otherwise. He cautioned the House against giving little by little its sanction to the teaching ot doc trines of that kind r and to beware of the cost. There was an old trite saying, " The eggs first, and the eagles afterwards." [The Honourable Member continued, amid signs of impatience, and occaional interruption, directly from the Irish Members on the Opposition side of the House, to cite passages from the canon law and the writings of Thomas Aquinas and other commentators to prove that laymen hindering the exe cution of mandates, citations, and other like proceed ings issuing from the Church of R ,me, " were smitten with excommunication ;" when thefts were mortal and when venial sins ; that the people wore bound to obey the ecclesiastical, notwithstanding it was averse to mo narchical law ; that a person who owed anything to a heretic arising out of any exchang e, pledge,or d, from po stt tho , loan, or any other contract, was ip s° f e act °free his promise or obligation, and was not bound to ke ep perform his contract, even though ho had sworn to do it ; and that a secular ju d g e had no jurisdiction over the clergy in criminal cases,_ "seeing that,. they enjoy e d the privilege of God and we re exempt from the civil jurisdiction."] He appealed to the House if those were doctrines which the Government of this country ought to pay for teaching ? The House, however, had made the people pay for the teaching of them. It was, i n fact, a part of our national system, and, he sub mitted it was one of which the sooner we got rid the better. The truth was, that priestly dominion was the great characteristic of the Roman Catholic Church and its whole tendency was to " confine the intellect and en slave the soul."—(Hear.) He would not pollute the ears of his audience—he would not be the teacher, or rather the publisher, if he might use the expression—of those filthy dectrines which he could not have believed any church would have permitted to be taught to its communicants, had he not felt himself obliged to go through the books in which they were found. He would only make one remark, on the authority of a Roman Ca tholic writer on Conkssion, to the effiet that certain penitents were questioned at confession only as to those sins which were most common and usual among that class of persons; they were to be asked if they bad committed theft, and how often—and if they had sworn,.a and how often. The same writer proceeded to Ail as to sins against chastity, the confessor must ieLerro gate most cautiously, especially lest his younger peni tents should learn those vices which, a ithout that C :ufession, they might nut have understood.--(Hear, hear.) Aud ho adds that he had known Teniteuts on the bed of death confess that they have lived for a long time in the commission of sins, of which if it heal not been fur the teaching of the coofwoor.s, ti=cy would have remained in entire imeorence. That is all I will 53. y upon that part of the subject; but there is somiel.ing else which has a greater demand upon our consideration here. I again quote the words of the late Sir Robert Peel, who, speaking on the motion of Sir Francis Bur dett, on the 6th of March, 1827, said:—" I will owe, fairly and candidly, that I ent,rtain a distrust of the Roman Catholic religion. I object not to the Catholics on account of their faith. Fur them I have the highest respect. In private life I have never made any distine• time between persons on account of their religion. It is a matter of perfect indifference to me whether or not a party professes the doctrine of trausubstantiation ; but if there is added to that doctrine a scheme of worldly policy of a marked character, I have a right to ic quire into its nature, and observe its effects upon man kind. Can any man acquainted with the state of the world doubt for a moment that there is engrafted on the Catholic religion something more than a scheme for prometiug mere religion—that there is in vif w the furtherance of a means by which man may acquire authority over man? Can wo know what the doctrines of absolution, confession, of indulgences are, without a suspicions that those doctrines are entertained for the purpose of establishing the power of man ov er the hearts and minds of men? What is it to me what the source of power is called, if practically it operates as such? Ho would ask any Hon. Gentleman present whe ther, if he had openly and uncontrolled opened his bosom to another, and told to him all his secret thoughts and transgressions, whether he would not feel himself the slave the other, in the worst sense of the word?—(Elear.) And yet that was one of the doctrines which that House taught at Maynooth. Another point connected with confession was that the confessor was bound to secrecy, and that in no case, without the express leave of the • party, not even to escape death, not even to save the State, could any violation of this secrecy be admitted, so that, if treason to the Sovereign were confessed, the confessor would be bound to secrecy. The Honourable Member then referred to a pamphlet of Mr. Eneas Mac donald, published in 1845, when the subject of an in creased grant to Maynooth was under consideration, and which contained extracts from various petitions presented by Roman Catholic Prelates, in 1792, on the subject of Roman Catholic disabilities, to the effect that the memo rialists were satisfied with the existing National Esta blished Church in Ireland, and did not seek in any way to encroach upon the rights, privileges, possessions, or revenues belonging to the bishops and clergy of the Established Church. Dr. Doyle also stated in his evi dence, quoted in the pamphlet referred to, that he could undertake to say that not a single Catholic clergyman in Ireland would contradict what he stated, that they were not desirous of disturbing the existing arrange ments. It was upon such evidence as this that this country was deluded in an unhappy moment to pass that Bill.--(Hear, hear.) He had always considered it un just to exclude Roman Catholics from the possession of their civil privileges; and ho remembered well an argu ment used by Mr. Canning on that subject, which ap peared to him unanswerable. In reply to an argument that the Catholics ought not to be admitted into the house, as they could not be bound by oaths, Mr. Can ning said, " You keep them out of the house by an oath." —(Hear.) What, however, was the opinion now ex pressed by the Roman Catholics as compared with those used by them before they obtained the grant from the Government? The Catholic Defence Association put forth an address a few days since, in which, speak ing of the Noble Lord opp os i te i n connexion with the grant, and the c induct of the Catholic clergy, it stated—" When ho agreed to endow Maynooth he ex pected that, in consideration of this endowment, the Su preme Head of the Catholic Church upon earth would abandon the measures which he thougot necessary for the good of the Catholic Church. He really believed, it seems, that he could buy the holy ROll3llll Church to abandon her own principles and duties, and that not in Ireland only, but in oth, r countries, for the sum of 26,0001. per annum to th e co ll ege o f St. Patrick, May nooth. This is the exact price at which he valued the holy Church throughout the world. It is strange that, with history before him, he should have dreamed that the Catholic Church could be bought at any price; stranger still, that he should suppose any men, however base, would sell it for a bribe so contemptible. He va lues the consciences of rulers and members of the whole Church throughout the world at the sum of 26,0001." It was not, he found, the Noble Lord opposite to whom reference was made, but the Noble Earl now at the head of the Government.—(Laughter.) He saw nothing at which Hon. Members could laugh, for he believed, judg ing from the strong speeches which that Noble Lord had made on the subject of " the Papal aggression," that the sentiments which he entertained on the subject were similar to those of the Noble Earl. The subject to which he had called the attention of the House was not yet exhausted, but he was anxious not to weary the House by going into it at greater length. What he wished to impress upon the House was, that they were giving aid, and calling upon the people to pay for a religion which he thought he had shown was subversive of morality, which was dangerous to the existence of the social compact, and which was in direct opposition to the duty of allegiance to the Sore reign.—(Hear, hear.) He knew that the late papal ag gression had opened the eyes of the people of the country, and from one end to the other they were crying out to put a stop to the rebellious, contumacious, dis loyal, and dictating conduct of the Irish Romen Catholic clergy. He would show, if they granted him the Com mittee, that the whole of this conduct was in strict ac cordance with the teachings and doctrines inculcated at Maynooth, It was the bounden duty of the House to grant him the inquiry, and he called upon Irish Mem bers to meet it like men who were challenged to inves tigate the truth. If he was wrong, they were right, and it the Committee w ere granted, full opportunity would bo afforded to them of vindicating themselves from the charges which he brought against them.—(hear, hear.) e ywo For his own sake he hesi ta t e d not to say that every word he had used was c a p a bl e o f proof, and he challenged M t h i : , 3 37 fi e c d o could.— except x l d o . e — p t ( ll a e f a u r li , h H e o u n r o o u r a T b n l e e oeumbrs to urledfu notte it b if te satisfied and and searching investigation and inquiry took place before a Committee of that House impartially selected. —(Cheers.) The Honourable Member concluded by moving the resolution. The Marquis of BLANDFORD seconded the motion, which he said had been so ably moved by his Hon. Friend that it was unnecessary for him to say more than a few words. He knew that propositions of this nature only emanated from parties out of doors, holding rather narrow religious views; but he took that opportunity of saying that he had had no connexion with any party of that nature. There might have been such expressions of opinion out of doors, but he had taken no part in them, reserving to himself an opportunity of freely expressing his opinion in that house. There could be but one inference come to from the statement of his Hon. Friend, namely, that it w as th e i r duty to repeal the grant to Maynooth.—(Hear, hear.) That was the conclusion to which he had come, and he had no hesitation in adding, that was the object with which he seconded the motion ; and he be lieved that the inquiry would prove that repeal to be neces sary as a measure of wise and conscientious policy.—(Hear, hear.) He was one of those who had supported the late Sir Robert Peel in 1845, by voting for the increased grant to Maynooth. Ile believed that eminent statesman, how ever, at that time, looked upon the continuance and in crease of that grant as not a new policy, but merely the sequence of that which had been pursued from the time of the Union. 'He had stated that there were three courses that might be pursued, either to repeal, the grant altogether, to suffer it to remain in its then inefficient state, or to in crease it in such a manner as would confer upon those edu cated at Maynooth a superior and satisfactory education. That great statesman adopted the last, as, in his opinion, the best, and anticipated from it the happiest results for Ireland and the empire; and many men, also eminent statesmen, had been equally deceived in their anticipations, and acted from as pure motives. In 1792, when the French Constitu tion was promulgated, Mr. Fox, who was then a Member of that House, viewed that constitution as the dawn of light breaking upon the darkness of despotic power. He little apprehended what would follow, but said he be it would be the foundation of the most splendid edifice ever raised in the world. Other statesmen, eminent for ability and integrity, took a different view, and they all knew which proved most correct. In 1813 Mr. Canning, in introdueing his Bill for removing Catholic disabilities, animated by the noblest and most generous motives, was still mistaken as to the policy and the results he anticipated' from it— that great statesman said, "If we pause, if we retrograde, we shall descend from the pinnacle on which we now stand, and front whence we command a view of Protestants and Roman Catholics becoming loyal fellow•subjects. To give up this would be to lose all we have gained. There is a tide in the affairs of men, on the summit of which we are , now riding. Let us not turn back. The hands of Protes. tants and Catholics are now stretched forth to each other, end have nearly met. That was another instance of the er roneous views which have been entertained by the most illustrious men. Under these circumstances, therefore, they wore warranted in inquiring into the facts of the case. We had no doubt conscientiously enthavoured to educate the people and the priesthood 'of Ireland. He made no objection to that, though he said the most im portant part of education was religious instruction. But let them look at a few facts, and what were the con clusions to which they led ? He had no wish to hurt the feelings of Roman Catholic Mombers, but he said there were three great principles on which we had been in error in dealing with them. In 1795 the grant was given to Maynooth for the express purpose of educating the Irish priesthood, and keeping them in a better spirit. Since then that grant had been enlarged, and yet they found in the Tablet a letter from Lord Clarendon to the Earl of Shrewsbury, which there was not the slightest doubt was authentic. The late Viceroy stated that, though the Pope had ordered the Irish priests not to meddle with public and political matters, yet that many of them had risen in the att empte d revolution of 1848, when not h in g but the moderation of the Government saved them from being sent along with th e i r confederates to Van Dieme a ' s Land. S o muc h f or t h e expectat i ons e ntertained in 1 795 u I' and in 1799, and as to the effect of these grants_ don's opinionon the Irish Roma n C a th o li c c l erg y, and Lord Ciaren was the building of their loyalty. Then there Colleges. He was and endowment of the Queen's not opposed to that measure, but the Right Hon. Member for Ripon (Sir J. Graham), in i n trodueing that mea sure, said it was his belief that ► t wou'd conduce to the stcon cord, order, and peace of the c ountry. a- Ilad that expe tion been fulfilled? Archbishop Cullen, in his address to Catholics the Roman of the archdiocese of Armagh, dis tinctlythdecisions of the Synod :of Thud( were in full force—were declared that e i n conformity with the will of th e Holy See, and that alt Catholic parents were warned o f the clanger o f allowing their c hildren to be corrupted b y a f alse us i n struction. Their parents, the re f ore, sy stem of reli gi ous were either compelled to permit their children t o b e without , es or to submit education in these co to ex commun i cation. The best illustration of the error of our attempts t o e d ucate the Irish people was to be found in the N ational Schools. They we re put forward on the same gr oun d s, and they might have effected good for the people, and though he did not ap prove of it, it was better to have educ a ti on of any kind than none at all; but how had these schools been treated, he would not say by Dr. Cullen, but by a French prelate, whom he quoted in his letter? Catholic parents were warned ttgainut 4 11 9WiDg theirchildren fr9l4 being corrupted iu 40;9913 where heresy and Catholicism were placed face to face. The nature of this grant was peculiar in itself, and ditTer f et ( l; . from every other made f ur ed uc ati o nal purposes. It was educating the priests of a religion which was not their oven,' not for the support of Presbyterian or Dissenting clergymen, as the Regium Donum. He unhesitatingly gave his sup port to the m o ti on o f hi s H on. F r i end t h e M em b er f o r north Warwickshire (Ur. Spooner), and he called on the House to institute this, inquiry, and to repeal this endowment as quickly as it might be done consistently with existieg in terests—an endowment against which the feeling of this country was very strong, and which was repudiated by the people, for whose benefit it was intended. In 1845 upwards of 10,000 petitions had been sent up against it, and fully 500 petitions had been forwarded this session, praying for its re peal. Let them, in obedience to the feeling which these pe titions evinced, adopt the motion of his Hon. Friend the Member for North Warwickshire. The Noble Lord cm eluded by's 'cond'ng the motion. Mr. ANS rEY, iu rising to propose the amendment of which he had given notice, said that there was not a single word in the speech of the Noble Lord who had just spoken, which did not show that there was no need of further in quiry, and that reasons sufficient existed already for the re peal of this grant.—(llear, hear.) The Noble Lord had not quoted a single fact to show that any inquiry was necessary. The object of the Hon. Mover was to create political capital out of this subject, but when he found that the present Go vernment had unexpectedly succeeded to office he backed out of the original motion he had given so lung ago as last February, and it was only by the derisive cheery of his opponents that he was forced to bring the subject forward in its present weakened form —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman's motion referred to the Maynooth grant only. Now his (Mr. Anstey's) object was to supply what WAS wanting in the Hon. Gentleman's motion, and to extend it to the repeal of all other grants similar to that of May nooth, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant.—(Hear, hear.) His view was that they should not appropriate the means which the Constitution enabled them to draw from the over -taxed people of this country, to support any par ticular religious institutions.— (Hear, hear.) That which vexed the Nonconformists was not any erroneous teaching which they believed to be taught in Maynooth, but that they believed it a violation of religious liberty to be called on to support any religious institution from which they dis sented.—(Hear, hear.) The object of the Hon. Gentle man was sufficiently obvious, though not explicitly de clared. It was an attempt to provide a ladder in order to break the uneasy fall of Hon. Gentlemen opposite, which — he would not say their apo s t acy b ut their—[Mr. OSBOUNS Modification"]—but their " modification" on this ques tion would occasion.— (Hear, hear.) But the Hon. Gentle man could not have stumbled on a more important proposi tion for this purpose, than a motion for inquiring, or one to which Lord Derby of all others would be less likely to as sent, for on the 4th of June, 1345, Lord Stanley thus ex pressed himself. He quoted from the same authority which supplied the Hon. :Gentleman with his theology--.. Han sard's Debates."—(Laughter.) Lord Stanley, addressing the House of Lords on that occasion, said, "That an inquiry into Maynooth would be utterly useless"—(Hear)—and he went on to say that " If they entered npoa that inquiry— if, in prosecuting it, they called before them the various officers of the college, and the evidence which Noble Lords were prepared to produce, for the purpose of proving that this or that objectionable passage was to be found in the text books used at Maynooth, or that this or that doctrine or principle was there inculcated—the only result of such inquiry would be an incessant, constant, and daily increasing acerbity, and an exaggeration of all the religious rancour and animosities which remained between different portions of the commu nity." Such was the language of Lord Stanley in 1845. He (Mr. Anstey) did not propose his amendment with the view of retaliating on the Hon. Gentleman, but to affirm a great principle which was making much way in this country, and even in Ireland, for there were many Roman Catholics in that country who were as steady friends of the voluntary principle as the Dissenters themselves. He believed that this principle would yet be recognised, if not in the present Parliament, at least at au early period.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He confined his motion to grants which were in simili casu with the Maynooth grant, that was to say, to endowments supported out of the public funds and imposed by Act of Parliament. There were also annual votes which he should oppose whenever they were pro posed, because he was convinced that House had no right to concern itself with these miserable questions of polemics. —(Hear, hear.) He would like to see her Majesty's eli nisters taking a wider view of the question than was taken by the lion. Member for North Warwickshire. It they disapproved of the Maynooth endowment, let them with draw the vote from the Presbyterians of Ireland, called the Regiune Donum, the grant in aid of the bishops and clergy of the Established Church, the grants made for clergy in various parts of the British dominions, and in favour of the chaplains of ambassadors, and all similar items of expendi ture. Let them not confine their view to Maynooth, but embrace everything else of the same kind. He should test Government by pressing the entire amendment to a vote. It would be competent for them either to accept or reject it. At all events, he should have discharged his duty. The Hon. Member then moved as an amendment, "That this House resolve itself into a Committee, for the purpose of considering of a Bill for repealing the Maynooth Endow ment Act, and all other Acts for charging the public revenue in aid of ecclesia s ti ca l or re li g i ous purposes.' Mr. SCHOLEFIELD supported the amendment, and in doing so did not affirm any admiration of the College of Maynooth, to which he was quite as much opposed as the Honourable Gentleman, as he believed it propagated error. He would not, however, avail himself of an attack against Roman Catholics to leave unchallenged the larger revenues of the Irish Church Establishment. The people of this country were deluded by the Honourable Gentleman. They did not want an inquiry They petitioned for the abolition of the grant. The terms of the Act of 1845 gave them all the visttorial power requisite for checking the conduct of the Maynooth authorities. A very large portion of the people of Ireland felt it a pressure on their consciences to support the Established Church. Therefore, the arguments of the Noble Lord who seconded the original motion came with extremely bad grace from him. Upon this point he would read a passage from Mr. Macaulay's speech in 1845 " I say, that objections of that sort come with a very bad grace from one who is the representative of an English university. When I consider with what magnificence reli gion and science are endowed in our universities; when I call to mind their long st ree t s of palaces, the venerable cloisters, their trim gardens—their chapels with organs, altar-pieces, and stained windows; when I remember their schools, libraries, museums, and galleries of art; when I remember, too, all the solid comforts provided in those placees both for instructors and pupils, the stately dwellings of the principals , the commodious apartments of the fellows and scholars; when I remember that the very sizars and servitors aro lodged far be ter than you propose to lodge those priests who are to teach the whole people of Ireland ; when I think of the halls, the common-rooms, the bowling-greers, even the stabling of Oxford and Cambridge —the display of old plate on the tables, the good cheer of the kitchen, th e ocean s of excellent ale in the buttery, and when I remember from whom all this splendour and plenty are derived; when I re member the faith of Edward 111. and Henry VI., of Mar garet of Anjou and Margaret of Richmond, of William - of Wvkeham, of Archbishop Chicheley, and Cardinal Wolsey ; when I remember what we have taken from the Roman Catholic religion—King's College, New College, my own Trinity College, and Ch r i s t Ch urc h— an d when I look at the miserable Do-the-boys -Hall we have given them in return —I ask myself it we, and if the Protestant religion, are not disgraced by the comparison ?" He believed that the motion of the Honourable Gentleman was a contrivance of political cowardice, to undermine what he dared not openly a ttack.—(Hear. ) Mr. WALPOLE said—l think it right, Sir, on the part of the Government, to state early the course we intend to pursue; and I will do so without indulging in any of those polemical asperities deprecated by the Hon. Member for Youghal. We must all agree that this is a question of the utmost difficulty and delicacy. Whether we regard it in its political or social bearing, it is intimately connected with and touches upon the tenderest points of our warmest feel- - ings and sensibilities, which recent events have given great efiect to with reference to the religious feelings of the people of this country. - (Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances I approach the subject with caution and forbearance. Ap proach it I must; for, in the first place it is directly brought before us, and in the second place it has taken such a hold on the country that we cannot nor we ought not to avoid it. To the motion proposed by the Member for North War wickshire the Member for Youghal has proposed an amend ment, that we should not inquire, but repeal all grants for ecclesiastical or religious purposes. He wishes to establish the voluntary principle. Now that was a great question, which ought to be brought forward as a sub stantive proposition. The simple question submitted by my H ono urable Friend is, wheth er we ought not to inquire into the state of education is Maynooth ; and the question implied is whether the grants originally made by various Acta of Parliament and subsequently increased and perpetuated by the last Act of Parliament, have an swered the purposes intended. That is a lair way to look at the question, before we adopt the conclusion of' the Hon- Member for North Warwickshire, namely, to appoint a Corn- mittee of Inquiry. There are two ways in which it may not be necessary to go into this question at all. In the first place , just as has been intimated by the Hon. Member for North Warwickshire, and I think also by the Hon. Member for ' Youghal, it may be said that this question was concluded in 1845, and therefore it is not to be opened again. Another way of showing that inquiry is unnecessary, is to adopt the conclusion of the N o bl e L or d ( t h e Marquis of Blandford) who seems to say the grant is so vicious in principle that it needs no inquiry, and the Government ought to bring in a Bill to repeal it. Now, as to the first of those propositions the House will immediately see that, in point of fact, the conditions upon which this grant has been made from time to time are conditions which, since Parliament has made them, Parlia ment has a right to reconsider them.—(Hear, hear.) The grant was first given in 1795. The object of the grant, when so given, was this:—The Roman Catholics of Ireland could not have seminaries and colleges of their own in by law, and wore forced to have their priests educatedforeign coun ries, i where revolutionary principles and nfidel doctrines were in vogue, and it was thought expedient by the British Crown that these principles and those doctrines should be excluded. There were other reasons for makin d g ew t la h an e sd g e: r a a id n z t, nelt b ll u yed t t t uh h eie ob ject of the grant, and 9—to grant continued an provide in this coutinctrpyir,tieowsrtahrsaoorhde.srtaiTntehlar't loyal, and domes annual one until the Union • and in the 7th article allusion was ma de t o certain sums, given to diffe ren t i nstitutions in Ireland, which were guaranteed upon a n average of six years, for a period of twenty years. I think Parliament was there pledged to continue the grant till 1820. I think Par liament could not have altered, modified, or diminished it until the period for which by the terms of the Union it was conceded. Subsequent to that time the grant was entirely voluntary one on the part of Parliament, and must be con side motives to have been made upon gr oun d s of expediency or of beSo it continued until the ear 1845, when Sir Robert Peel made an essential change in that grant— first, by increasing the amount; and, secondly, by making it permanent. But at the time he did this he stated two grounds for so acting, which, I think, we ought not to lose sight of in considering whether the grant has answered the purposes for which it was given. The first of these grounds was the great necessity, the poverty hang ing over the college. I think Sir Robert Peel represented that the college was in debt 4,0001, that such small sums were paid to the professors as barely to afford them enough to live upon, and that the students were ce npelled to go home during one period of the year to save the additional expenses which were beyond their means. That is one of the grounds upon which he vindicated and justified the in crease of the grant. The other ground you shall have in his own words, for I think it extremely material in the view of the question which I am about to take. The other ground was this —to break up a formidable conspiracy existing in Ireland against the British Government and the British con nexion. The words of Sir Robert Peel are these:—" I de fend it ( the Maynooth Bill) because I believe it to be a wise and just measure, and far better than the continuance of the present system. I call on you to recollect that you are re sponsible for the peace of Ireland.—(Cheers from the Irish Membus.) I say you must break up in some way or other that formidable confederacy which exists in that country against the British Government and the British connexion! —(Cheers ,and counter cheers.) I do not believe that you can break it up by force. You can do much o consistently with the principles you avow as t.. the paitititell4 l lo of the 11111 911 444 the Pretataub
