If what we have heard be true, the princi ple on which the intended measure is founded, and the solid ad vantages it offers to the country, will tend to soften, if not to re move, all opposition to it in any of its stages. The tithe is, we learn, to be commuted for a land -tax, offering a bonus of 25 per cent. to the landlords---an arrangement under which they may still consider themselves abundantly well off. The provisions of the Act of 3 and 4 William IV., c. 100, are to remain in force so far as regards the ad vances out of the million fund to the relief of those to whom arrears for 1831, 1832, 1833 are due ; but no repayment will be demanded according to another clause of that Act, so that there will be no compulsory Rath cormac processes to enable the parson to pay his debt to the Exchequer. In fact, no more tithe is to be collected on any account, either by the landlord or the parson, so that one fright ful source of strife and bloodshed will be dammed up. As far as we can understand, the Bill will be as simple in its detail as it is liberal in principle : we fervently hope that it may work well.—Morning Paper. SE THE LONDON GAZETTE THIS EVENING. ST.

The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Trans fer of Aids Bill, the Exchequer Bills Bill, the Newspaper Stamp Regulation Bill, and the Chester Criminal Execution Bill. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Rosslyn, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. The Duke of WELLINGTON laid en the table of the House the Report of the Committee on Lay Patronage. CASE OF •THE REV. MR. GURNEY. Lord BROUGHAM said he held in his hand a petition, which was most respectfully worded, but he would not state who it was from, or what it was about, or any one matter in the petition.—(Laughter.) He would merely move that it be read, as he did not intend to make himself answerable for the statements in any petition he might ever present. [The petition was then read by the Clerk, which was to the same effect as was presented by Mr. Tooke in the House of Commons a few days since. The petitioner stated that he had been upwards of thirty-two years Curate of St. Allan, Truro, and prayed the House would take his case into consi deration, and that they would by law effect a change in eccle siastical matters, and such a reform in the Church as would benefit the country and the clergy ; also that they would allow a sort of half-pay to unbeneficed and superannuated clergy.] The Bishop of EXETER felt the full force of the excellent example set by the Noble and Learned Lord in not intruding on the House any remarks upon this subject. The motives that induced a patron to give or withhold a living, he was quite sure their Lordships had never permitted to occupy their atten tion, and he felt that he should be doing wrong if he were to adopt such a precedent in his own person ' - but this much h e would say on the g enera l quest i on , t h at he for one, and not he only, but he could speak for four others of his Brethren, who were sitting on the bench, felt most anxious for the good of meritorious curates. With respect to the particular indivi dual from whom this petition came, he would say nothing, but that the living which he complained of not having been given to him, he had given it to another curate.-----( Hear. ) Of the sixteen livings which had fallen in since he had the ho nour of a seat in that House thirteen had been given to curates ( Hear)—ordinarily of long standing—and all of whom were selected on the grounds of merit solely, for not one of them was connected with him in any way, indeed not one of them was known to him.—( Hear.) Three he had disposed of otherwise. One of them he Intd given to his son—he was proud to say a most deserving son.—( Hear, bear.) Another came to him in a most singular way. The pa tronage had been bought by a gentleman, but when the living became vacant, the patron was seized with a compunction of con science,considering the manner in which he had become possessed of the living, and he refused to present to it. The living was a very valuable one, and he would have been very glad to have bestowed it on his son, but considering the manner'' in which he had become possessed of it, lie found that it was his duty to give it to a very deserving clergy man, which he had done.—(Cheers.) The other and the last one (he was really sorry to take up their Lordships' time with such particulars); the third was given to another most deserving clerg)man—not the curate—because he was anxious to give it to one who was not a pluralist, and a nonresident.--( Hear, hear.) He was obliged to their Lordships for the patient attention they had given to that which was a mere personal statement. A long conversation was carried on (but in so low a tone as to he inaudible in the Gallery), between the Marquis of CAM DEN, the Duke of RICHMOND, and Lord Beouonam. From what fell from The Earl of RADNOR—we understood it to relate to the Oaths Abolition Bill. He said, in relation to what had fallen from the Marquis of Camden, that he understood there had been for some time a regular system of Reformation going on in the University of Oxford.—( Hear, ; hear,)—which had only been interupted by his unfortunate interference on a former evening, why that should have been the case he was at a loss to know ; but such being the case, and as the Re form, if really sincere; could not be in better hands than those of the convocation, he would beg leave to withdraw the motion of which he had given notice relative to the oaths in the Universities.—Notice withdrawn accordingly. The Duke of RICHMOND said, in deference to the No ble Marquis (Camden), he postponed the second reading of the Oaths' Abolition Bill to Monday se'nnight. Petitions were presented from Lanarkshire, Paisley, and Aberdeenshire, to extend the Church accommodation of the Established Church of Scotland, and to inceease the numberr of schools. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER enquired when the Commission issued to enquire into the state of the poor in Ireland was likely to conclude its labours; and his Lordship was understood to supdort the necessity of introducing the poor laws into that country. The Duke of WELLINGTON replied that the Commis sion was still proceeding with its labours, and that the report would be laid on the table as soon as it was ready. MALT TAX. Lord TYNHAM said that he had two resolutions to lay on the table, but that he did not intend to embarrass his Majesty's Government, but merely brought them forward as a matter of conscientious duty—( Hear.) They referred to the Malt Tax, which he considerea the great cause of demoralization among the lower classes, and of agricultural districts, both to landlords and tenants. This 'tax amounted to one half the whole earn ings of the lower classes, and deprive the labouring man of those comforts at home which he was entitled to. It bad caused a complete revolution in the habits of the peasantry, which was most pernicious to the whole country. None of the objections which he had made to its removal held good. If the duties upon Malt and Hops were taken off, the farm er would be greatly re li eve d, an d prosper i ty would once more adorn his dwelling. Why were these taxes taxes to be kept up in the time of peace merely for the purpose of supporting establishments that were not re quired? He felt convinced that if the House of Lords were to expect this; such an act would make the despot of Russia tremble on his throne, and place the House on a lirm basis and substantial foundation, namely, the confidence of the people. The Resolution was then put, and negatived without a di vision.—The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took . the chair at half -past three o'clock. A messenger from the Audit-office brought up returns, which were laid on the table. - Mr. ALLEN brought up papers from the office of the Clerk of the Peace of the county of Middlesex.—Laid on the table. Mr. L. HODGES presented a petition frOm some persons in Whitstable, praying to be heard against the Islington Market Bill, and one from the Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend itgainst the Northileet Bill. Sir J. A STLEY brought in the Northern Railway Bill. N", LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1835.

He was in fat - our of that Bill, and not, as was stated, against it. What he said was, that he was sorry that many of his constituents thought the regard of Bill would be very injurious to their interests. t c o or b r i e s eting tilE FACTORY BILL. Sir J. BECKET presented a Petition from some place in Debt (Abolisie r netJ a t the West Riding of Yorkshire, praying for a revision of the Factory Bill. Mr. BAINES supported the prayer of the petition, which was laid upon the table. THE CHURCH. M. R, A. OSWALD presented several petitions from various places in Scotland, praying for the erection of new churches. The Earl of BELFAST took the oaths and his scat as Member for the county of Antrim. Mr. WARD presented a petition from the Rev. Maurice James, a minister of the Established Church, and Rector of a parish in Bedfordshire. The Hon. Member observed, that the petition was one of a very singular character, as the peti tioner protested against the maintenance of the Protestant hier archy in Ireland as part and parcel of the Church of England. He had suffered very much in mind and conscience, in consequence of the guilt which he considered to be attached to that branch bf his Church, in consenting to be supported by tithes wrung from a people who were unwilling to pay them, and who de rived no moral or spiritual benefit from the .hierarchy. The petitioner observed, that if the law were appealed to, the law of man could confer no right, and Christians could accept no right incompatible with their faith. He entreated the House to look at the subject not only in a legal point of view, but to settle it with a strict regard to Christian principle, and re gulate it by the superior law of God. In the prayer of the petition, he fully concurred, and begged leave in conclusion, to lay it on the table of the House Mr. HAL FORD could not concur in the prayer of the pe tition just presented, for he was of the decided opinion, that if the Protestant Established Church in Ireland was in any re spect shaken. the downfal of the. Established Church of Eng land would follow as a necessary consequence. He could not but express his feeling, that this we: e a well intentioned but a most mistaken and a most mischievous expression of feeling contained in the petition of this clergyman of the Church of England. He felt himself bound to make this observation, because he was personally acquainted with the Reverend Gentleman from whom it proceeded. He had known him for many years, and he had entertained for him feelings of the highest personal respect, because in the dis charge of the duties that devolve upon him in the parish to which he belongs, no individual was more exemplary in his conduct. Therefore it was that he felt himself bound to repeat that this was a most mistaken and mischievous, but certainly a well intentioned.expression of feeling on the part of this reverend individual. If tithes were odious to the people, as Hon. Gentlemen opposite contended, let them be commuted, so that the income due to the clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland may be secured to them. But it was unjustifiable to e'pose to unmerited odium these gentlemen for claiming What is not only their undoubted right, but the only means they have of subsistence. An HON. GENTLEMAN said it was the system that was odious. Mr. HALFORD—If it were the system, alter it, but why hold out to odium the Protestant clergymen for proceeding to recover their dues under that system. He ought to apolo gize, he said, for trespassing upon the time of the House, but he could not avoid expressing his feeling that a Protestant Clergyman should be found to pursue a course so mischievous and mistaken. Mr. HAWES explained that the petition did not object to tithes generally, but to the Church, receiving tithes for which it rendered no spiritual services in return. Mr. SHAW said if the Rev. Gentleman had been ac quainted with the services rendered by the Protestant Clergy to Ireland, he would not have so expressed himself. It was in total ignorance of the facts that this petition was drawn out. Mr. FINN—The Right Hon. Gentleman states that this Clergyman speaks in ignorance of the services of the Esta blished Church in Ireland, and he boasts of these services. Now lie (Mr. Finn) would beg to inform the House of what he knew these services to consist of. Let us take a tract of country, commencing with New Ross and continuing to "Waterford, which is a distance of 50 miles, and thence pro ceed on to Trarnere, which is 13 miles farther. The popu lation of that tract is 35,000 souls, and what did the House think the number of Protestants was? Only 300. There were 15 parishes, and not a single Protestant in one of them, yet they were told of the services of the Proteotant Clergy.—(Cries of Hear, hear, hear.") The whole country is subjected to the evils of this system. There are in several parts clergy without churches—in others, churches without congre gations—if then, the Rev. Gentleman was acquainted more fully with the grievances of this system, he would have ex pressed himself more strongly. The petitioner deserved great credit for his opinions, and it was to gentlemen of such senti ments that the Church in Ireland owed any respect that was now paid to it. Mr. WARD moved that the petition be printed. The SPEAKER, we understood, observed that such a motion was not in accordance with the rules of the House. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. WARD gave notice, that a motion being made for the House to go into Committee on the Supplies for the Army Estimates, he should move as an amendment thereon, that the motion be postponed until the decision of Lord John Russell's Motion on the state ofthe Irish Church was known. SPIRIT LICENCES. Mr. S. LEFEVRE resented petitions from Hertford bridge, and other places in Hampshire, against the increase of the duty upon Spirit Licenses. MALT TAX. Mr. HANDLEY presented a petition from Crowland in Lincolnshire, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for the repeal of the Malt Tax ; also a similar petition from the Agricultural Association of that county, comprising some of its most extensive and opulent proprietors. He would just observe, in answer to an observa tior. made by the Hon. and Gallant Member for Lincoln (Col. Sibthorp), that so far from the farmers of Lincoln being unanimously of opinion that the Malt Tax ought to be kept on, there was a general desire that the duty should be taken off. ___. PRIVATE BILLS. Colonel LEITH HAY gave notice that on Thursday, the 16th of April, he would move a resolution to carry into effect the report of the Committee of the last session upon Private Bills. A n Ewe. MEMBER presented petitions from Kilmore and Ordbrechan, in Argyleshire, in favour of the Established Church of Scotland. DISSENTERS' GRIEVANCES. Mr. WILKS begged leave to withdraw the notice of mo tion which he had given for Thursday next, for the considera tion of the practical grievances of the Dissenters, with a view to their redress, and to fix it for Thursday the 28th of May. His reason for doing so was this. Sir R. Peel having brought in a Bill affecting the grievances of the Dissenters, to marriage ; and the Noble Member for Lincoln having given a notice respecting the right of the Di ssenters to ta k e d egrees at t h e Universities, and the _question of Church rates being also taken up by the Hon. Member for Exeter. Under these cir cumstances, he thought it desirable that the House should determine upon these subjects before he should submit the ge neral question of the practical grievances of the Dissenters to their consideration. The Hon. Member then presented a pe tition from the Protestant Dissenters of the Baptist denomina tion of Frome, in Somersetshirc, praying for relief. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. Mr. POULTER brought in his Bill for the Better Ob servance of the Sabbath, which was read a first time, and or dered to be read a second time on Friday next. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. HUME brought up the report of the Committee upon printed papers, and the best mode of distributing Acts of Par- Hameln It was his intention to submit to the House, the propriety of acceding to the resolutions of the Committee. Mr. ROEBUCK said that each Member was furnished with a copy ( f the printed Parliamentary Papers, for which he paid IL 12s. per annum ; but if he wanted a se: and he was charged 31. There must be a job somewhere, and he whiled to know whose job it was. Mr. HUME could assure the Hon. Member that there Was no job in this case. The sum charged was that considered ne nessary to defray the expense ; but any Member could have those payers gratis, and the charge was only for carrying them to the residence of the members. The Committee had, how. ever, taken into their censkleration whether the sum charged was too much, and the subject would be brought before the House. The Commons were then summoned to ctead at the House of Lords to hear.his Majesty's assent given by Commission to several ESTABLISHED CHURCH. On the Speaker again taking the Chair, Sir GEORGE CLERK presented several petitions from various places in Scotland in favour of the Established Church in that country. CHURCH OF IRELAND. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose and said, that as there was no Ikelihocd that any report from the Commissioners would be ready by Monday next, he wished to acquaint the Housc le was compelled to forego his motion for that day, sild at present he could not fix any time when he should pro ceed with it. CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from the examiners of the etc tion petition for the City of Dublin, that a further extension of time might be allowed them to inquire into the validity of the 'ecurity tendered on that occasion. Mr. O'CONNELL—This was now Friday, and time had been given, since last Monday, to make these inquiries, and he did not think it fair, after what had occu rre d on T ues d a y, that these ex t ens i ons should be allowed. It was imperative on them, by the Statute, that the sureties should be given in and perfected within 14 days of the petition being given in, and now t at time was expired.—(" No, no," from Mr. Shaw.) If this report had been in before the discussion on Tuesday last, rs a matter of course, the Ballot must then have been post, oned ; but the Right Honourable Gentleman with held it from the House until after that time, though be pressed the bringing on that measure in opposition to his mot'on, and though the sureties are precisely the same, in ord - r to deprive him of any advantage it might give him. He Id ask the House whether it would be fair to act on this pc ,lion. If it had been any other case than his own he would mad : naxC such an appeal as he felt convinced would persuade ;~ the Hou , a to agree with him, but in his owo he was deplived of that advantage. Mr. SH A W—So long as the petitioners thought that peti tion would have been acted on, they did not think it right to extend the ti me , or to i nqu i re so particularly into th e see . nritv • but now that anot h er pet i t i on had been substituted for that, they thought it necessary to be satisfied as to the responsibility of the petitioners. - Mr. O'CONNELL could not understand why the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite so anxiously insisted upon this report. It was alleged that no advantage would be gained thereby; but it would not be insisted upon for nothing. He submitted to the House, that the petitioners, having lapsed the time, they could not now come before it and ask leave to bring up the report. The SPEAKER made a few observations, which were quite inaudible. Mr. O'CONNELL could see no reason why the House should now enlarge the time.--( Cries of " Hear, hear.") By keeping back the report, the opposite party had done this-- they had thrown it upon him ( Mr. O'Connell) to make the motion for the postponement, which had they brought in the report earlier, would have been their postponement. Was that fair ? Was it he would ask, reasonable ? And if it was not so in any other person's case, why' should it be so in his? Sir J. CAMPBELL coincided in the view of the question taken by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. He thought the application of the opposite party was most unrea sonable.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. F. SHAW would not urge the matter upon the House if it was its pleasure that he should withdraw it. He had now another matter connected with this subject to bring before the House— Mr. O'CONNELL—Then you withdraw the report ? Mr. SHAW assented. He had now to call the attention of the House to a matter which personally affected the character of an individual who acted as agent to the petitioners. though he fully agreed that whatever was stated by an Hon. Member in this House should be received with great atten tion, and have all the sanction of an oath, he conceived it would only apply to such Membe'r own case, and not to the case and statements of a third party, who, he contended, ought not to be shut out by any declaration of any Hon. Member. Mr. O'CONNELL objected in point of order to the intro duction of any name and statement, unless they could be met by a counter name and statement. Mr. SHAW explained that he intended to relate the state ments of the petition only. Mr. O'CONNELL acknowledged himself to be under the correction of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he certainly un derstood that he intended to refer to affidavits.—( Hear.) Mr. SHAW—No ; the facts related to the petition only. Mr. O'CONNELL then would put it to the House whe ther such statements should go forth to the public without counter statements ?—not that he was afraid of investigation : he desired nothing but investigation. Mr. G OULB URN spoke to order. An Hon. Member, in presenting a petition, had a perfect right to speak of its contents. After a few words from Mr, RICE, who was inaudible in the gallery. Mr. SHAW proceeded to state the facts detailed in the petition: The petitioner on the 11th instant went, in •)mpany !with another person, on business wholly uncon netted with the present matter to, Sir Robert Sidney, who in point of fact was the agent of the other side. He saw Mr. O'Connell, who desired Sir Robert Sidney, as his agent, to ask a petitioner to hand over a notice in reference to the Dublin petition, which was given, and he said he would be prepared on the 19th to go on. After joking_ on the subject, he asked, " Do you mean t o t rea t us w i t h all the petition ?" to which no positive answer was returned; and Mr. O'Connell went away, but returned soon after, and said, addressing Sir R. Sidney---" I think it fair to tell you, that if you corn plete the recognizances, I will let go the others ; but all depends upon your not turning me round upon a point of form." This he repeated several times ; to which Sir R. Sidney replied—" To be sure, I understand you fully —you mean to make yourself secure." Nothing more occurred. After that cotiversation on Saturday, to guard against any fatality or failure on a point of form, a no ti ce was posted, that on Wednesday last he would be ready with his witnesses. On Monday, two days after, the petitioner proceeded to the Exarhiner's Office to perfect his securities. Mr. O'Connell objected to one of the securities on that occasion, and the Agent states in • his ' petition that this objection came upon . him by surprize, and no wonder, because there was not a more solvent gentleman in the City of Dublin than he was. The consequence was, that the agent was not prepared to meet the objection, and at his desire the Exa miner gave further time to enable him to satisfy them as to the reality of this particular security. The notice was then posted for the following Wednesday, and on Wednesday Mr. Baker appeared before the Examiner, and it was then he po sitively states that Mr. O'Connell, for the first time, objected to him that fraud was practised. Mr. Baker, in reply to that charge, states positively that he never said he would abandon the petition alluded to, but in the jocular terms already mentioned. The petitioners further state the fact, that Mr. O'Connell himself, on the Monday following, ap plied to the Examiner for a certificate to the effect that Mr. Baker had not posted his notice in time, and in con firmation of that, he refers to Mr. Rose, a clerk of this House. That gentleman will corroborate the statement that Mr. O'Connell, on the Monday following, applied to him for a certificate in order to find fault with the notice which he (Mr. O'Connell) said was not posted in time to examine the securities. The petition further states, that on Monday, when this form was used against him, and the postponement in con sequence had taken place, he informed Mr. O'Connell that he would proceed, on the Wednesday following, to perfect the security objected to. Under these circumstances, he said, it was that he first heard the accusation of fraud. He positively asserts he never stated to any one, that it was his intention to abandon the petition referred to, unless he failed to perfect the securities in the other petitions, his object b e i ng t o avo id the expense and inconvenience of prosecuting many peti tions. (Hear, hear, hear.) The petitioner complained of the charges made against him, and prays the House to enquire into the statement.--( Hear, hear, from Mr. O'Connell.) On the part of Mr. Baker, he (Mr. S.) challenged enquiry. In conclusion, however, he begged to add, that the statements of the petition were verified by affidavit, and he referred to another Gentlemen, (to Mr. Rose) as to the truth of what he stated. Mr. S. entreated the House, in justice to the character of Mr. Baker, to suspend its judgment until the decision of the Committee on this question was made known. The affidavit of the petition was then laid on the table. Mr. O'CONNELL—If this affidavit were in a shape in which I could prosecute it for perjury I would do so at once There were four persons present on the occasion alluded to. One of them was a young gentleman, a client, of the name of Maton, who came in, on business, to the office when the conversation commenced.—( Hear.) The agent for the petitioners came in and Stated his willingness to abandon the petition in question, but he did not state any thing that made any distinct impression on his mind on the subject. But as he was going away, Mr. Mathison having gone, he came back, and in the presence of four witnesses, emphati cally gave notice to him, and his colleague, Mr. Ruth yen, that he might disembarrass or disengage—the only doubt, then, on the subject, is as to which word he used—our minds altogether of the petition in question, for they certainly would not proceed upon it. There were four persons present when this was said, and those four were ready to prove in any Court of justice the truth of what he now stated. The third petition had been signed by five persons, and there were only four names to the other two peti tions---the fifth of those persons had not been served with notice as he did not notice that the third was only signed by three per sons. Mr. O'C. sent notice to Dublin only as to the four. The object of the petitioners was to make a point before the com mittee in order that I may not have a commission, because I have not served the parties with notice. I desire inquiry, and that inquiry under the sanction of an Oath.—( Hear.) Let the Hon. and Learned Recorder, when he leaves this room, lay a wager if he puts this question in the stage of a de claration on the file, and leave it to the verdict of twelve men. —(Laughter.) There is one circumstance which the Hon. and Learned Recorder has mentioned, and only one which I have reason to contradict, and that is this false statement.— (Hear, hear, hear.) He said that oil Monday evening I went to the Examiner and inquired whether lie had posted on the preceding Saturday the list. When I found it repeated that they would not proceed upon the two petitions—when I found a notice in the hall upon the subject, having written to Dublin that day to stop the witnesses, and having given up going to as's) , agent and holding a consultation, I came down to the House, and when I found that notice posted up, I said this must be some trick, and long before coming into the House I met my freind Sergeant Perrin, who advised me not to bring the matter before the House. Sergeant Perrin accompanied me to the Clerk of Recognizances, and I in quired how it happened that, after Mr. Biker had stated so and so, he had posted up the notice. The Clerk said it was not Mr. Baker who had done it, but that lie himself, find ing the recognizance in the office, had done so. I did not make any inquiry of Mr. Baker.--( Hear, hear. ) I went to ascertain how, after he had told me that the notice should not be posted up, it had been posted. These are the facts of the case ; and I repeat, that let me have my witnesses in any Court of Justice, before any criminal tribu nal, I shall convince them of the truth of them. The facts are recent, and cannot have escaped the recollection el the witnesses. Mr. RUTHITEN would not trespass on the House, but he was anxious to repeat the statements that had been made by his Hon. and Learned Colleague. Mr. SHAW rose amidst loud cries of " Spoke, spoke." He was willing to consent to any mode of inquiry that the House might think proper. Mr. O'CONNELL wished the Right Hon. Gentleman to accept the wager he had offered him.—( Hear.) Mr. SHAW wished to have no arrangement with the Hon. and Learned Member—any mode the Speaker might lay down would answer his wishes. He wished to know from the Hon. and Learned Member, how a letter written on Monday c:,uld stop witnesses coming on Thursday ?—( Hear.) Mr. O'CONNEl.Lsaidthat no witnesses would be required on Thursday or Friday. No business would be done as these lists would be exchanged on that day. The letter written on Monday would arrive on Wednesday, and the witnesses would be in town on Saturday.—(Great cheering.) Mr. F. O'CONNOR wished to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet opposite had asserted that what he yesterday stated upon the authority of the Mirror if Parliament was not the fact ? Sir R. PEEL really believed that the extract from the Mirror of Parliament, which the Hon. and learned Member had read, was as nearly correct as possible. He was really surprised that the Honourable Member would have thought it worth his while to ask such a question.--( Hear.) The Hon. Member had stated in the course of his speech last night that he had no confidence in the present Government bringing in any measures for the relief of the poor in Ireland, beeaiise 'when the Noble Lord (Althorn had pyopased that a Commission should be sent to inquire into the Peer Laws, that he ( Sir Robert Peel) was the man who had proposed that the same Commission should be sent to Foreign Countries. what he ( Sir R. Peel) had stated was, that such was not the fact, nor was it the fact.— He had never made so absurd a proposition ; —he had sug gested that after hearing very long, desultory, and ineffectual debates on the Poor Laws, he well recollected having said, that there was a constant contradiction of facts on both sides, and he had suggested to (Lord Althorp) the policy of sending a Commission to Ireland to institute an enquiry. He (Sir Robert Peel) had also stated that Committees had failed, although the expense attending them was great, and that it was impossible to obtain correct information— a t the same time he had said that while this Commission was making its in quiries, it would be advisable to make inquiries in foreign coun tries, as to the Poor Laws and their probable effects, but this was to he done simultaneously through the Foreign Office. He had some reason to believe that his suggestions had been acted upon—( Hear, hear)-- and that the Foreign Secretary of State did make these in quiries—( Renewed cries of " Hear, hear")---as to whether a legal provision was made for the poor, and what had been its effect ? He (Sir Robert Peel) had therefore stated, and he thought with good reason that the Hon. Gentle man opposite had misunderstood him ; and, therefore, if that was his ground for saying that no confidence should be placed in the present Government, such a statement was incorrect. Mr. F. O'CONNOR was perfectly satisfied with the ex planation. Mr. HUME said he wished to make one observation, that there was an application from almost every part of Ireland relative to the state of the Poor Laws in that country. Mr. SHA W then rose to ask that his petition might be dis posed of, and that he might be allowed to give notice of a mo tion for Tuesday next, to refer the subject to a select COM_ mittee, which was agreed to. LEICESTER ELECTION PETITION. After a lengthened discussion upon this petition, upon the suggestion of Mr. GISBORNE, it was agreed that timed should be given to the parties to enter into recognizances, and that leave be given to substitute another security. IRISH TITHES, Sir H. HARDING was loudly called upon from all parts of the House. • Before he would move that the House should go into Committee on the subject of Irish Tithes, he desired however, that so much of the King's Speech should be read by the Clerk, as relates to the subject of tithes in Ireland. On the motion of the iloN. BARONET the House resolved itself into a Committee. Sir H. HA R DINQE then proceeded to address the House, observing, that to rising to address himself to the House on this ime'Ortant question he felt more than usual anxiety. Hear, hear, hear.) The question was one of a Tftost complicated character, and even if it were less difficult, it would be necessary for him to beseech the in dulgence of the House.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") But when in addition to these embarrassments he remem bered that since the year 1831 this subject had been very frequently canvassed in this House, and that out of the House, popular prejndices had been excited in connec tion with it, he felt that he was placed in a very difficult position indeed ; and he thought it would be presumptions in him, he confessed to hope that this measure would be carried without considerable opposition and even some alte ration. It might be asked, why, then, bring it forward? He answered that the urgency of the case, and the magnitude to which the evil had arrived, rendered it necessary for the Le gislature to interfere promptly, and arrest its progress. Such was the disorganized state of Ireland, and the intimi dation which prevailed in that unhappy country— that it was utterly impossible to collect the tithes. It was well known that in Ireland, the man who obeyed the laws was punished, while the most turbulent and rebellious es caped with impunity. Amongst the scattered population of that country, threats of violence were easily put into execution, and more feared by the people than the enforcement of the laws. Now, what was the case as regarded the freeholders ? 'Why, for the last four years, it had been found impossible to col lect tithes ; the persons, therefore, who were entitled to tithei, called on the Government to vindicate the law ; where resist ance had been offered, those disgraceful scenes occurred which every Christian and friend of humanity must deeply lament. Such was the state of things in Ireland, and this state of things could only be altered by measures taken for the purpose. The Clergy of Ireland, although their only means of livelihood depended upon it, had acted in the collection of tithes with the utmost forbearance and moderation, out of upwards of 300 places where tithes could not be procured only thirty applications had been made for the aid of the mi litary.—( Hear, hear, and cheering.) He would therefore ask the House, whether it was fit and becoming, because the clergy were humane and forbearing, that they should not have the means of securing their rights— ( Hear, hear.) He was satisfied the Legislature would pass a measure by which they would be better regulated ; but while it did so, while it agreed with the Government in applying a remedy, it would insist that such a just and satisfactory arrangement would be made in fu ture, as would put an end to the present system. The defect of this system was not attributable to the exorbitant exaction on the part of the clergy. It was in evidence on all the Committees for the last four years, that the average amount of tithe in Ireland did not exceed Is. per acre. By the return from 900 benefices, on 200 the average of tithe was only 6d. per acre. The amount was not the grievance —the grievance was, the religious feel ings againgst it.—(" Hear, hear," from the Opposition.) At the same time, in many instances, this was a pretext rather than a real grievance.--( Hear, hear, hear, from the Minis terial benches.) The real objections to the system arose from the practice of subletting of land in Ireland,—many of the small farms were so subdivided that it was impossible for the Tithe owners to collect the Tithe except from a pau per po pulation—the Clergy were obliged to collect half. a-crown, a shilling, a penny, and were in some instance a l'arthi ng , f rom a pauper population. If the Clergyman were to forego his claim, he would be deprived of the largest portion of his income. The act of the, Noble Lord the Member for Lancashire ( Lord Stanley) in 1832 affP,eted the removal of many disadvantages, by diminishing the lumber of tithe -payers, and throwing the payment upon tie middle men, between the landlord and the occupyitg tenant. It appeared that, out of 903 benefices from which returns came, the number of tithe-payers had been reduced from 346,000/. to 102,000/. This Act was of unqualified good—it substituted a fixed rent in lieu of tithe. The Act of his Right Hon. Friend, Mr. Goulburn, in 1823, was to effect a composition for tithes. That Right Hon. Gentleman's plan was a gross valuation of the tithes for 21 years, and an average for seven years taken from the next seven. The late Government al tered that plan in 8832, by making the composition, once fixed, perpetual, and that had the advantage of relieving the farmer who after 21 years, and having laid out a good considerable sum of money upon his land, was no further liable to a claim from the clergyman—the charge havifig. then been made perpetual. That plan had the further advantage. The power of going to seize upon the land was taken from the clergyman or tithe-owner.—( Hear.) He was by that Bill obliged to take his remedy against the next landlord above the actual occupier ; but there was in Ireland a great deal of difficulty in finding that personage out. In England there was no difficulty, but in Ireland the case was very different ; and the difficulty bad become so great that, in his opinion, the Act of 1832 could not be carried into operation. But it was never intended that that. Act should be permanent, as was shewn by every speech from the Noble Lord ( Stanley) upon the subject. His avowed object was to take the burden from the poor occupier, and even his next landlord, and fix it upon the first owner. The Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, when he brought in his Bill of last year recognized the same principle. He had con tendend that the only effectual manner in which the Church properly could he secured and rescued from which it was placed the dangerous position in was by imposing a rent charge, og investing it in the pur chase of land for Church purposes. It was upon this principle the Bill was introduced, and the Bill for Eng land also recog nised the principle o f a rent c h arge . It was mu c h the best plan, because it did away with the vexatious interference with the poorer classes of the tenantry. It appeared that in the 903 benefices to which he had referred, the quantity of land belonging to the Protestant proprietors was 1,500,000 acres, while the quantity which was the property of Roman Catholics, was only 645,000 acres, being in the proportion of fifteen to one ; and it also appeared that the amount of composition which was paid by Protestant proprietor in comparison to Roman Catholics was 191. to 11. He said this,_ to show that the burthen fell, as it ought to do, upon the Protestanst, and not the Catholics. The tithes were payable on the land, and not by persons.— The Bill of last year established a rent charge, and so did that of August last, and so would the Bill he was now pro posing ; and the propriety of that principle was folly con firmed by the communications he had received from all quarters. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IM PERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 19. LONDON UNIVERSITY. Mr. TOOKE begged to renew the motion of which he had given notice, relative to an address to hi 4 Majesty, that the power be conferred by Charter to the University of London to confer degrees in divinity and medicine. The latter words being added, COUNTY CORONERS. Mr. CRIPPS gave notice, that on Wednesday, the Bth of April, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the law respecting County Coroners. Sir S. WH A 1,1. E Y presented a petition from Marylebone, praying for the repeal of the Window Tax, which was now the only direct tax which pressed upon the middle classes. Lord MORPETH moved for a return of all sums of money expended in the erection of schools throughout the country. —Ordered. CHURCH COMMISSION. Mr. Secretary GOULBITRN presented, by command of his Majesty, the first Report of the English Church Com mission. IRISH POOR. Sir R. MU SGR AVE then rose and seconded the motion. After reading the report of the Committee, he said there could not possibly be any one to say there were no grourOs for the motion of his Hon. Friend. From the condition of the poor of this country, Gentlemen could form no idea of what that was, of the same class in Ireland. The scenes they were obliged to behold in their: streets and highways was truly affecting, and no Englislf bentleman t who had not been in that unfortunate country, could by any possibility form an idea of the wretchedness thkt was to be seen 'Zeta a• .... . ,
