Several petitions were presented, among others one by Lord BROUGHAM, from the Marquis of WESTMEATH, com plaining 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'CoNnELL rate, and who set him completely at defiance in his efforts to get rid of the conacre system. Lord STOURTON 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 LORD 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 Loan CHANCELLOR 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. Lord STOURTON wished that persons going to their priests, even if known criminals, should be protected against arrest when on such an errand. Lerd BROUGHAM said, known criminals 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 MONTEAGLE 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 he bound to take the person so arrested before a magistrate, and give to the magistrate Power to dischar - re him at once and not to de tain him for, perhaps, a ' week incustody, - until the next petty session. The Lord CHANCELLOR said, if the matter were permitted to stand over to the third read i ng, be would endeavour to see if some remedy could not be provided. The Marquis of CLASRICARDE thought a single magistrate should have the power of deciding whether or not the man should be detained or discharged. The Earl of Wicxtow had proposed already- that the magistrate might have the power of admitting persons to bail to appeer at the petty sessions. The Earl ST. GERMANS objected to give magistrates the power of admitting persons to bail under such circumstances. The Duke of RICHMOND thought the magistrate ought to have the power of admitting persons arrested, under such circumstances, to bail. The Earl of DEVON supported the recommendation cf the Lord Chancellor. The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON supported the proposition of the Earl of WICKLOW, that power should be given to one magistrate to admit parties to bail. The Earl of ST. GERMAINS would withdraw the clause for the purpose of reconsidering it. The other amendments were agree i to, the report was re ceived, and the third reading of the Bill was timed for Thursday. _ _ The Bill, as amended, vas ordered to be pr;nted. Thursday was fixed for the reconsideration of the report, and Friday for the third reading. The House then adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Mr. B. Coeur:Arm took the oaths and his seat for Brid per.. The Sheriffs of London presented a petition from the Lord Mayor and Common Council of the city of London against the North Kent Railway Bill. Petitions were presented from different parts of the conatryi praying for the remission of the sentence 0:1 FROST, WII.- Lulls, and JoNits. Mr. (nos:JELL presented a petition from Mr.,C. D. rx VETT who held a confidential situation Iti the Post-office of Ireland previous to 1880, complaining of the course that had been pursued towards him, and praying for inquiry. Mr. Wimams 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 adquiring the English language. He 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. Moaais seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM, after paying a high eulogium 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 Hon: Member would withdraw his motion. The motion, after a short discussion, was withdrawn. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved, pursuant to the notice he had 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 FROST, WIL LIAMS, and JONES. The Hon. Member, in making the mo tion, presented some 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 he 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. GnatiAm 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. DUNCOMIIE 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 Len 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. He 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 patties 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 was subsequently addressed byMr. MACAULAY, Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. S. WORTLEY, Mr. AGLIONBY, Sir R. INGLIS, Mr. WAKLEX, Lord J. MANNERS , Sir R. PEEL, who objected to the motion, as establishing a bad precedent, and taking away the prerogative of mercy from the Crown. Mr. M. Prirmars, Mr. P. HOWARD, Lord J. Russzu, 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 in Mexico in the case of Mr. T. KINDER. Sir R. PEEL opposed the motion, on the ground that we bad no right to interfere with the decisions of the Mexican Government. The House was then addressed by Mr. GIBSON, Mr. Fousran. and Mr. Scow. The motion was eventually withdrawn. Mr. NEWDEGATE 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 diaposod of, and the House adjourned. Accident placed together two subjects of debate last night, in the House of Commons, closely and painfully connected with each other. Mr. Wreerams's account of the lamentable want of education in Wales fitly preceded the motion by which Mr. T. Durtcomen reminded the House of the sad, but sure consequences of ignorance, in the fatal outbreak for which FROST, WILLIAMS, 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. Tuostas 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 FROST, 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, Winuams, 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 ninion of nine judges to six. But valid fur 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 ebjection 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 them 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. DIINCOMBE, have not exercised a sound discretion in agitating this question. Mr. DISRAELI strangely misunderstood Sir J. GRAHAM'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 ticuance 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 caunay, we think, was carried away, perhaps in the fervour of discussion, into a rather exaggerated view of the offence which had been committed; and there is one part of Mr. MacAnnAy's speech which we cannot assent to without much qualification. We mean that part in which he reprobates in such unmeasured terms the sympathy which had been shown for the fate of TAwm. and other criminals. There is an ingredient in that sympathy which Mr. MACAULAY has entirely overlooked—hostility to the punishment of death. There was no sympathy with TAWELL —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 efibrts was aversion to capital punish ment. 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 opeza tien. 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 SOV EREIGN. Unfortunately, however, Ireland has been so long 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. Till 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 would in all respects, as regards both, place their church on the f same footing with that of England and Scotland but Ti r inir the prej u di ces en t er t a ined against the Catholi c f a i t h. political liberties also have been to a great extent vindicated, and with a very few exceptions they may be th said to enj oy blessings of the British consti tution. But sudden ell'ects anticipated, changes rarely produce the and kindeople enslaved fur ages require long nursing andh inecessary le L g asc o ai N , ,,y e e r af n o t r i ni e t n n h t e li d e i e fo n r .e e e they to t h c o a s i e i enjoy freedom or conduct t i laws which are absolutely ssecurity. These remarks are true as regards Gresce, Spain, espe cially Ireland. In neither is law suflicen an tl d more and extraordinary remedies, therefore, are required. respected,rec' Possibly the undefined relations between landlord and tenant have been the main causes of the de plorable condition of the Iri sh p easan try , 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 for 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, ill part of Ireland to au alarming extent; it has b een . ado p ted .a system, andfndependent 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 succ,essful 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 FMS - 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 NICKOLAJ, but I will do him the justice to say that he never issued such an ukase to 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 Madrid to the 3d ins!ant, but though they bring no intelligence of a striking character, they lead to the belief that the present Ministry cannot go on long. NARVAEZ and his party keep aloof from them, Mar.riNEz 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 2,000/. ; a minister plenipotentiary 1,4001; a resident 800 L; and a chargé d' affaires 600!. On the 3d the Three per Cents. closed at 29 3 ,0 cash, and 29% at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 21% for the 30th of April. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied - with the Polish insurrection and the affairs of Africa. On the furmer 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 Parith`tith a view to raise subscriptions and aid the Poles in the rightecus cause, but we have great doubts of the expediency of such a step at the present inauspicious time. The *Orme says, the committee is composed of the following matt' ers among others :—Messrs. ARAGO, BAUNE, DAVID (IYAngers), DUPCYrY, ETIENNE ARAGO, FLOCON, GUINARD, LEDRU ROLIIN, 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, bad arrived at the place, and reckoned upon remaining there some time to form his plans and recruit his exhausted troops, but ABD-IL 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 movement 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 posseslons, all the columns of the province of Algiers have been directed towards that point. The Governor-General has been forced, in order to cover the long opening which their movement occasioned in the central line of the 'fell, to call from the province of Algiers the column of Colonel Pellisier, which Is now watching the pass of Boghar, and tkat commanded by Colonel Renaud, whieh is in observation of the country beyond the sources of the Cheliff.' This disposition could not take place, except to the detri ment of the combinations adopted, in order to close the province of Oran against the Emir. In fact, the line of the Keff is without 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. Lieut.-General de Lamoriciere im mediately set himself to the work, and notwithstandieg the enor mous diminution that his troops have experienced, he adopted rapidly all the measures commanded by circumstances." The article goes en to describe the arrangements made by General LAMOIUCIERE 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. The Three per Cents.

Mr. BETUELL, with whom was Mr. Campbell, moved for a special Injunction to restrain the above-named defendant, who resides at Nottingham, from making, selling, or using the braid, or otherwise infringing a patent grunted to the plaintiff, Mr. Christopher Nickels, for " improvements in machinery for covering fibres, applicable in the manufacture of braid and other fabrics." Mr. I3ernEra., after describing the nature of the invention, which he said was at once very Ingenious and simple, and the product exceedingly valuable, and which had been of vital service to the glove and hosiery trade of the midland counties, proceeded to state that the defendant and others had fur some time Infringed his patent, and that frem the manner in which they carried on their business, and the clandestine purchases which had been made from them by certain manufacturers, some delay had taken place before the evidence could be perfected. It had, however, now been made complete and the patentee had taken and would take every means to protect his rights and suppress the piracies. After further briefly alluding to the nature of the Invention and reading the affidavits, his HoNourt, the Vice-Chancellor, directed the injunction to be granted. Solicitor for the patentee, Mr. W. 11. Ashurst. • NICE L 8 V. $099, JUN. Mr. Brritem. aleo applied for an injunction to restrain this de fendant, who also resides at Nottingham, from manufacturing, using, or selling the braid. He stated this case to be similar to the pre ceding, but with the additional aggravation, that this defendant knew that a verdict had been obtained against his father, with whom he had been closely connected, for infringing this same patent, and that the patentee had found on issuing execution, that the defendant in that action had sold off, or removed his machines and furniture, locked up his house, and left the town. In this case, also, his Honour the VICE- CHANCELLOR granted ar injunciion. - Solicitor for the patentee, Mr. W. 11. Aslr_rst. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQVE.) IN RE LOWS. This Insolvent, who was a foreigner, came up for his final order, which had been adjourned. The insolvent bad carried on business as a shoemaker, :at the west end of the town, and was opposed on the ground that he had con tracted debts without reasonable prospects of being able to pay. It appeared by the evidence that in June last, the insolvent obtained furniture: from the opposing creditor of the value cf 1001., and filed his schedule in the following August. The insolvent was examined through an interpreter, and said that he had not taken away the property, and still carried on business at the same place as heretofore. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, he should adjourn the case, to admit of the insolvent paying 201. every half year till the whole of his debts were paid. The insolvent asked what he should do If he could not pay. The CousussioNxa —Tell him I shall withdraw all protection, and he must do the best he can. IN RE SIMPSON. Mr. STURGEON opposed in this case, on the ground that the in solvent had not inserted the amount he had reserved, beyond the amounts mentioned in the 'schedule. Yet the insolvent had paid money to his attorney, and had also given security to pay any fur ther costs. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he should have been sorry to have agreed with the objection, en the simpls want of form, but where it was shown money had been reserved, and security given, to an unascertained amount, he should dismiss the petition. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Pori'En.) JAHROLD AND OTHERS S. ANDREWS ♦ND OTHERS. This was an action to recover the amount of a joint and several promissory notes. Two of the defendants had suffered judgment to go by default, but the other, Henry Andrews, jun., pleaded his minority. Mr. NVILDE, who appeared as counsel for the plaintiffs, said the plaintiffs were members of a society at Manchester, called the Man chester 501. Loan Society. The defendant, Henry Adams, was en iron. merchant. The Mociety had been formed for the assistance of persons in trade in time of need, each shareholder being entitled to receive on each share 50/., as funds were in hand, giving a bonus. The defendant had received the money, but now pleaded Ida minority. He (Mr. Wilde) however, hoped to establish the Met that the de fendant had done an act which bound him in law, notwithstanding his minority, for he had at the time of making the engagement asserted that he was of age. Mr. IL Elliott said he ;Vas an auctioneer at Manchester, and se cretary of the society. Defendant became a member by signing the deed, and he would Not have been admitted had Le not said that he was of age. lie paid up several instalments, but there was Si. Cs. 101. still due. Defendant distinctly said he was of age. Ho is en Iron merchant. The deed had not baen enrolled, for when:the Company was established, the Act requiring it had not passed. Mr. Joyce, Ibr the defendant, submitted, in the first place, that the defendant was a partner in the society, and consequently could not be sued for debt. Mr. WILDE urged that there was a covenant authorising the trustees to sue and ba sued, and that by the ensue deed the defendant, as borrowed, had admitted his liability to be sued as for liquidated damages. t Cur t above, however he on B l h r i w 4 ent no to th The SECONDARY s a id th at as it was a case which must go before e tgiva e . i,ti accountlopinio tansonted,,, still the The objection necessary for the defendant to make out his p:ea of minority. Evidence Was adduced, clearly proving that the defendant was under age. The SECONDARY left it to the jury, who found a verdict for the defendant, on the plea of minority. The Learned Judge said the other question could be raised in the Court above. ills own opinion was that the action could be Maintained. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY. ) A man of very gentlemanly appearance, Who gave his name as Charles Ficholson Late, was charged with havin g committed an as sault on a man named Dono v a n, t h e porte r at thetctoria Saloon, in Brydges-street, Drury-lane. It appeared, from Donovan's own account, corroborated by that of a fellow-servant, that, about a. quarter to three o'clock this morning, the prisoner, with three friends, was leaving the Saloon, when he, Donovan, interrupted him, and asked him to " remember the por ter." its said he would him d-d first ; and Donovan persisting in his claim, he seized him by the collar, and stnick him several times. They struggled for some time at the doer and in the street, and Do novan ultimately gave the prisoner in charge. The policeman who took the charge said that ho saw the prisoner and Donovan struggling in the street, and did not see Donovan strike the prisoner. 71i4 pip:4pr said that on his refusal to " remember the porter," Donovan sinit door 110 lyeNl4 119 t let him out. lie attempted to. ftourrciemdhitshNevabLowu,t,anadrisibleineailtvarnisytirgi4iorohilipkWit!ipopiilini fle u t t h i en re in endeavouring to force his way out, Mr. JARDINE asked whether the prisoner had akY viliP9P?. 3 ? 11 :_ke also= said that his three friends went with him to ties Ntat.94.7 iscgtre, gha when the charge was made there he wished them to be exam i ;K :a . ; 4,1, )44 proctor refused to hear them, and he (prisoner) Mr. J 411.0 It was told them not f,o - c9Ail i:L4F-coutt, as he thought it use less if but if the witnesses were present they tboy 11 .0 be •: 11. &li' on the part of ties prifioner, p et tte isleVeotor's July .o guar evidence would now be heard.

Inspector Pearce, of the F division, said that ho wished to ob serve that the Victoria wino-rooms were a very great annoyance to the police.

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 which 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 oluded in the operation of the Act, under one general head. He thought it would be of great importance to aeopt the suggestion thrown out by Chief Justice 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 a 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 bad 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 pri,posed 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 occasin; 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 Hen. Baronet. It w,:s 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 the Right Hon. Baronet. The object he had in view in bringing forward this Bill was, 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.coutrol of the laW, lie mitt not conceive that any society of an illegal or i ' - proper nature would venture to enrol their rules. ' was very much afraid that the proposition of the Lig t l e Hon. Baronet would control the operation of the preseit Act with regard to the friendly societies now existing. ~ t would be competent for him (Mr. Duncombe), when tide Bill was again produced, to suggest such amendments la 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 natcre. 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 lion 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 be 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. lie certainly believed that as a public officer no person had given greater satisfaction than Mr. Tidd Pratt. He was iu constant communication with the industrious classes, and seemed to be an universal favourite amongst them. He would conclude by saying once more that he would consent to the course proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet, and should afterwards take the earliest opportunity of offering such opinions as lie 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 Hon. 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 the 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 Hon. Member had said when the last alteration in the Bill wasintroduced, 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 associations coming ur.dcr the form of mut ua l assur ance societies. It was quite impossible that this state of affairs could be amended until the whole subject came under the consideration of Parliament. 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 come completely under the attention of the Legislature. He had, with his Hon. Colleague, been repeatedly urg, d to bring this subject for ward for alteration ; but out of their eflbrts, and the ruins of the Bill, had arisen a sort of monster which would frighten all the parties interested.—(Hear.) He saw great difficulty in 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' banks were not political societies, yet they were in this Bill included precisely in the same category. 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). He 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 Seli citor General and Mr. Tide! 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. Tide! 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. R. HAWES thought that this alteration would be a valuable improvement of the law, and if the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Duncombe) had not succeeded in obtait:ing 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 kingdom. If he had not altered the whole 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 had been meat carefully considered, and had been — framed to as not to affect the so cieties now in existence. Mr. Tidd Pratt had 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 dt cidedly. The Bill then went through Committee, and the report was brought up. SALMON FISHERIES. Mr. PAKINGTON rose to move the second reading of this Bill. In doing so, he would only detain the House a very few minutes, but was comrelled to trouble them for that :pace, because he was aware that the provi,ions of the Bill were not Such being the circumstance, he would beg to state that the principal objects of this Bill are to consolidate the laws on tiaberies, and to regulate the casting the nets. The Bill will be a very great improve ment on the law as it stands; and he should, therefore, at once move the second reading of the Bill. Captain HARRIS had no 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. One of the provisions was, 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 tithing 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 he said he felt the high honour that had been done him in selecting him to move the second reading of this Rill, in place of the Hon. Member who was to have done so (the Hon. Member for liinsalo, Tbie Bill sought to remove a get deal of legislative hibbish which caused certain re. 1 strict-inns on conscience, anti was a disgrace to the statute book; inasmuch as it imposed penalties for the sake of con science shanouceldstors. oppose l to th h is op ß ed it would not b e Bill, upon familie s o f hi g h honour, and who had descended s fr a o id m b a y l t o h n o g se lin w e ho of that the. Esta blished religion in this country should be supported by such restrictions upon the exercise of the Roman Catholic religion w as this Bill sought t o remove. I n reference to the Bill which had been brought in by th e L ord Chancellor, he (Mr. - 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 erg lm to see the e9 . 4 . 1D0n univeasally restesgee tties b,eaatiful and simple principle.. 1 , 4 , 7 ;e 1 1 - 1 eager t 6 the pereonal ine r onVee nienees zegleeed: 'lay neatly, ley eeMbn ethe ezistiippe 'at' these ets t , eikevettld' aele 'the Hpase to egneitlee iiew this matte " Neitliet• . 31st . gep.:lll., nor the 10th fha neeesaity that Catholics w e re - oath, as the condition nee^^ -3- under to take an I i nar . e ."

There could not be anything ;pepe alinoying thee; for Iliskops of the Catholic Church to iiiteefere iii ;petters relating to the education of Protestants. as it was equally annoying fur Catholic dignitaries to interfere with the education of Protestants.. The oaths required under existing statutes shut out Catholics from many important offices, as lie cculd not in agree• meat with his conscience take them. For blatancy, there could not be a greater hardship than that the office of proctor in the eeeleeee.sticel courts—an ef, ee which had nothing to do • with religion°, faith— shoeld he debarred Roman Catholics on aeeount of these penal statutes. He would further refer tq a Most important section of the Catholic Church, the enristian Brethren, who were much affected by the law as it stoed at present. These men were of the most etalted and excellent character, and had done much fur education in Ireland, yet by these penal statutes they were outlaws, subject at any time to banish ment. They had the testimony of M. Geizor, es to the excellent and praiseworthy proceedings 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 circumstance. He would refer to a few ether cases to show how members of the Roman Catholic persuasion were at present affected, who from conscientious motives (and, ho might observe, those who acted from euelt 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 lie 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 ma;ignaut 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. thought, therefore, that the House should interfere and put an end to what must be considered a disgraostlil 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 had been unjustly deprived. They were waiting for that decision also in other countries, and he 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 th e spirit of the age in which they lived, and cruel to ,:cruse against whom these laws were first enacted.—(Her, , , hear.) Sir RORRRT 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 was much pleasanter than to resist them.--(Hear.) Concession, however, he had not made, and was not prepared to make, on the pre sent questiori. Whether to liberate the captive, to aid their fellow-subjects by a grant of public money —or, as in the present case, to remove the obstruction of certain civil dis.: abilites—it was far pleasanter to give than to refuse. While he admitted, however, the pleasurable emotions which con cession would give, he regretted that lie could not accede to 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 he 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 HI But he (Sir R. Inglis) presumed that the dark age to which the Hon. Gentleman referred was the year 1829. (Laughter.) That was the darkest age in his estimation. His lion. and Learned Friend had told the House that great as the provisions of this Bill might be considered by some, yet the Bill of the Lord Chancellor, which might be soon expected from the other House, was still more comprehen sive. He contended that no practical grievance had operated from the existence of the statutes y Bich this Bill was intended to repeal. The Honourable and Learned Gentle man had said that it was at present impos 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 lead 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 It. 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 that till the last few years was the theory, if not the practice, of the best men in Eng land. Ile 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 as much as possible to the language and religion of the people whom we had conquered. That, however, was not the policy adopted by the Romans, the French, or any other nation, or even by higland 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 lie 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 hint 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 emitted 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 of 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. lie may assume, if he pleases, the title of the Archbishop of Canterbury. With reference to processions, the blouse 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 p7ovi 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 lion. 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 MOKPETH rose and said, that he hoped his night 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 i.hould have been made to resist those laudal le endea vours to get rid of the last remnant of the institutions of the dark ages. His Right Hoh. Friend would object to their being styled the relics of the dark ages. They were, at all events, the relics of an age which bad witnessed the passing of the penal codes. All really liberal minds must, however, admit that if they were not re lics of the dark ages, they were remnants of a spirit which reigned dominant and contemporary with the dark ages.—( dear, 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 Ids Right Hon. Friend would confine the term "dark ages" to the 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. Ile considered that the enactments which :the present Bill sought to repeal originated in the absence of sound views. He was not, however, as be said before, inclined to cast any slur upon the motives of the opposers of the presert 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 [nest 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 Idgoted 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 smile 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 persen.—(Loud laughter.) Ho could say that hardly a day paesed in which he did not detect some sort of bigotry in these even who thought them selves most 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 no: venture to say how far that principal had been carried out in cur colonies, but it would seem more to the purpose if wherever the English 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, it might be excepted in the operation of the Bill, and the House would no doubt consent to such a course. These , statutes, as they now stood, were useless, unless for the pur pose of keeping up an offensive superiority, and throwing out . an unmerited stigma. Ile found by the first clause in this Bill that preaching was to be punished by forfeiture of goods and one year's impeisonment. Yet it was known that this creed was, promulgated every day' fejin 1,000 pulpits, making the statute a mere connivance at a 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 tochureli? These statutes while they were on the statute-book might be enforced for some malicious purpose. There were alio denunciations agai:lst bell steeples and even against articles of wearing apparel. The procession of Corpus chrieei and . _ the profession of the Host had been looked upon wil l ' r e ! alarm as likely to be renewed if these statutes t h i repealed, but the House might safely rely A l customs of , the country being attended to. In P " i ; where these things were tolerated, such a never heard of. :The Bill also proposed to relax the ll u tio bition against the order of the Jesuits, and this rel P f e r had been viewed with some alarm even by persons lightened principles. He did not think much o f the sup lions which had been made respecting the Jesui ts ', :il O he believe that any danger could be shown' as ael,"" t dtl from the pzcheeediegs of that body. He would say, l e d iti o party M ttqe State enjoy an equality of toleration, an n oied PlAtt or he was very Much inclined to follow the course p. in Silo United States, and to interfere with no was not niity of legal infractien.
