••••• .....- .. rate tdorm here, by which the whole municipal Govern- I meet of that island must be flung into the hands of a Popish rabble—a rabble the very tools and missile wea pons of the priesthood? Can any Protestant picture to himself without consternation the defeat and rout of our whole English power, attacked simultaneously in all its cantonments, from north to south of Ireland, by this legislative invader ? The Church Bill will of course work out its own effects at last, although they must be progressive, and not unmixed with benefit ; but by the corporation measure about to be applied to Ireland, which, under the mask of equalizing the two sects, gives a real omnipotence to that which has the superiority of numbers, and of numbers acting like one man, in subservience to a single will, that will having long ago declared itself an inveterate enemy to Eng land—we ask any man who knows the difference be tween truth and falsehood, and will speak the truth, to tell us whether this new municipal organization is or is not a blow at once immediate and irretrievable to the existence of Protestant security in Ireland, and of the British name ? There is no use in child's play, or in mincing the clear fact upon this subject ; we would as soon see (and soon we shall see) a College green Parliament assembled, and Dr. Murray or his Armagh brother anointing the first Milesian King " of all Ireland," as live to w►tness the entire overthrow of all our Protestant Corporations there, the firmest hold and the final stake of England.—Times. The proceedings at Exeter Hall, on Saturday, rela tive to the important subject of Dens's Theology, as connected with the existing doctrines of the Romish Church, are reported in another part of our paper. It will be seen that, instead of a proper and decent refu tation of the charges brought against the Irish branch of the Church of Rome being attempted, recourse was had to the ordinary subterfuge of a losing party—viz., disturbance and a wrangle. If the Hierarchy of the Romish Church in Ireland thought they could satisfac torily show that they had not sanctioned the publica tion of the abominable work of Dens, as an-official record of the tenets of their faith i 1 the nineteenth century, they would surely have authorised some one or more persons to prove that the odious accusation ! I made against them in the face of the British public was groundless. If they say they do not care about public opinion in this country, while they ask for all the pri vileges of Protestants, on the ground that they have long since abjured all tenets hostile to Protestants, and subversive of the rights and liberties enjoyed under our Protestant Constitution, that is quite another ques tion. They cannot be compelled to answer ; but, if they do regard public opinion in this country, they should answer the accusation publicly preferred and supported upon precise evidence, in a satisfactory man ner if they can answer it at all, than by the mouths of crawlers, who, not bearing their credentials, can n -t admit or deny anything upon their authority. We w that while the Romish Church has not in these realms an ascendancy in temporal power, its doctrines al a political tenets, however dangerous they may be tt public liberty, pure morals, ar7c! 'vilization, must rt main in a great degree inoperative. Though fondly &ierished in the sanctuary, it will be convenient to deny these doctrines to the world. It is, therefore, lr Oily important that the Papal Clergy (we speak net of the Roman Catholic laity) should, if their faith has, either designedly or in error, been maligned, have re course to the most effective mode of refuting their ac ea rs. They are aware that they no not now stand charged with entertaining as articles of faith doctrines only contained in musty volumes covered with the dust of centuries, and only dragged out of the tomb of theo logical oblivion by retrospective malice raking in the ashes of obsolete superstition. The book which is the depository of unchristian morality and abominable doc trines is newly republished—not by the enemies of the Romish Church, but by its friends—by its official pub lishers, and charged to be so republished at the express desire of the Popish Prelates themselves. It is not brawling that will rei'ute this charge. The terms of the public investigation of the charge offered by the accusers were fair and reasonable—they afforded the Rornihilt Prelates the best opportunity of vindicating the Romish Church, if vindication were possible. Why were not those terms accepted ? In the absence of any evidence on their pare, can there be a doubt of the verdict of the country ? At present we confine ourselves to these few general observations, but we may take an early opportunity of returning to the subject.— Morning Herald. It has been pretty generally understood, for the last two or three days, that the majority by which Minis ters hope to pass the Irish Church Bill throu g h the Commons' House of Parliament will no t b e , y one half, as large as that by which they were supported during the existence of Sir Robert Peel's Administra tion. Without at all entering into the question of how many converts have been made by the opponents of the Government, we believe that it does not admit of a doubt that there have been, during the present month, many secessions from the Ministerial ranks, and it is this circumstance which has given rise, within the last few days, to the belief that the Ministry is on the eve of a dissolution. Should Lord Melbourne sGovern merit fail in carrying the Irish Church Bill in its present shape, through the House of Commons, there can be no doubt as to what the result would be. But it is now currently reported that it is the inten tion of Ministers to resign, should this Bill be carried by a considerably-diminished majority, or by a majority which will not usher it into the House of Lords with such an appearance of support from the country, as will, at least, induce the Peers to pause before they reject a measure so brought before them. We are ourselves no believers in this report. We believe that the Government are aware that the Irish Church Bill has lost many supporters in the House, of Commons, and in the country ; and, whatever the more respect able portion of their supporters may say to the con trary, we believe that, however small the majority may be, by which this measure is carried in the Lower House of Parliament, Ministers will still manifest the same pertinacious adherence to placo which has ever characterised them. That Lord Melbourne's Govere ment must resign, should the Irish Church Bill fail to receive the sanction of both branches of the Legisla ture, there can be no question. It is the measure upon which they came into office, and which they are pledged to carry, not only through the House of Com mons, but through the House of Lords. Should it be rejected by either House of Parliament, it is im possible for the Administration to continue for an hour afterwards in office, unless Lord Melbourne is prepared to state that he looks forward to being able to reverse such a decision, upon an early occasion. Whether Lord Melbourne entertain the belief that this measure is ever likely to become a law or not we are unable to say, because we do not know what por tion of- probability constitutes the ground for belief, in his Lordship's mind ;—but, if, knowing that it will not become the law, his Lordship still proceed to consume the remainder of the session in the discussion of its provisions, to the total abolition of all other business, we hesitate not to state that such a line of conduct is as disgraceful to Lord IVlelbourne, personally, as it is destructive, and insulting, to the country. But his Lordship, we fear, is . not one of those likely at any time to imitate the modesty of that Lacedemonian who, uot having been included in the three hundred, " the most worthy," chosen by their country to accompany Leonidas to Thermopylae, returned to his home, rejoic ing that Sparta possessed three hundred citizens 16 worthier still than he I "—Morning Post. The proceedings of the meeting at Exeter Hall on Saturday, reported in another part of our paper, will be found interesting and instructive. The Reverend Gentlemen who. have been deputed by the Protestants of Ireland to diffuse in Great Britain accurate infor mation of the system by which the Roman Catholic Hierarchy labour to enslave and vitiate the minds of the Irish people, did their duty fearlessly and ably, not withstanding the interruptions th e y ex p er i ence d f rom a few bigott e d or interested persons, who proved by their conduct how much they dreaded the light about to be shed upon a subject which the Romish Church, true to its own interest, would wish to involve in perpetual darkness. This deputation has rendered a service to the cause of true religion of which it is impossible to calculate the value, by exposing the artifices and enor mities habitually and systematically resorted to in order tosustain the influence and authority of an erroneous arddebasing faith. The principle topi cs o f di scuss i on Saturday Were penis bobkof Theoldgy, and the Je- suistical letter addressed by Dr. Murray to Lord Mel- ! bourne, for the purpose of exonerating the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland from the disgrace and guilt of having sanctioned the principles and promoted the circulation of that flagitious and polluted treatise. It was demonstrated beyond the possibility of doubt or cavil, that the book in question is calculated to dif fuse the spirit of tyrannical and vindictive persecution, that it is a voluminous and unmitigated outrage upon charity, decency, and good sense, and that, notwith standing these vices, or rather on account of them, it has received the unqualified sanction, and enjoyed the zealous patronage, of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland. The denial of this last fact by Dr. Murray, in defiance of the testimony of documents bearing his own signature, in defiance of the notorious, undeniable and acknowledged circumstance that the hook has been recently reprinted and sold among the Roman Catholic Clergy and laity of Ireland to the extent of six thousand copies by the accredited and favoured bookseller of the Popish Hierarchy of that country—in defiance of the circumstance that every copy of two numerous editions of the work, and all the catalogues of its publishers, bear a declaration that it has the sanction of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy —and, in defiance of the conclusive circumstance that, until the book was publicly described and denounced in Great Britain by the able and zealous deputation of the Protestants of Ireland, no member of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy thought fit to utter a syllable in disavowal or rebuke, either of the treatise itself or of the allegation by which its publisher had secured its very extensive sale the denial—of Dr. Murray, in the face of such evidence, that he or his colleagues had anything to do with the publication, was placed before the public on Saturday in its true light. This denial in such circumstances is enough to convince the world that the Roman Catholic Hierarchy, in circulating among the Clergy of their Church, with the stamp of their authority, this most, immoral and unprincipled publication do not impart to others a moral poison without having first freely and eagerly imbibed it them selves.—Morning Post. The second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill is fixed for this evening. It is understood that there will be no opposition, as, from the announcement of Sir Robert Peel, which we have already noticed, the at tack will be reserved for the measure in Committee, when he proposes to move that the Bill be divided into two parts, so that an opportunity may be given to the worthy Baronet and his clique to secure their tithes to the clergy by a rent charge, and afterwards muster their forces to defeat that part by which it is proposed to appropriate the surplus, and at present worse than useless, revenues of the Church to the education of the people. Now, when it is considered that it was the resolution of the House of Commons adopting the principle of appropriation which drove the Peel Cabinet from office, it is scarcely to be ap prehended, whatever fate may await the Bill in the Lords, that the Tories in opposition will be able to accomplish that which, when in office, and backed by the actual and expectant hosts of corruptionists, they were inadequate to effect. However, it is a matter of imperative necessity that the Liberals remain at their posh until the measure be carried through the House of Commons, in order that the odium of its rejection may not rest on the representatives of the people, and that, if the hereditary sages should in their wisdom think it fit to continue a system of plunder on nine tenths to pamper the idle clergymen of one-tenth of the community, the nation may know which of our triple institutions is in a diseased state, and apply a remedy for its more healthy action. When the reso lution of Lord John Russell was um progress, Sir Robert Peel repeatedly taunted and vauntingly chal lenged its supporters to bring in their measure of Church Reform, hoping that he might discover some clause impairing the efficiency of the Pro testant Church on which to hang an opposition. But now, when the measure is before the House and country, and no such clause can be discovered, the principle is attempted to be established that Religion and Revenue are synoninnous (as no doubt with cer tain parties they are) ; and that unless the Established Church be left in possession of its surplus wealth in Ireland, its very existence is annihilated, and Popery will claim Great Britain as her own. Sir Robert Peel's opposition, the opposition of the Louis, or the unwillingness of another party, are just as likely to de feat the ultimate success of the measure as arc the rabid rantings which lately resounded through Exeter Hall to make any but a ludicrous impression on the minds of rational men. The nation knows its strength and interests too well to be influenced by threats of madmen, "the canting of hypocrites, or the brawling of fools.—Morning Advertiser. Gangs of workmen are at this time employed in ex cavating the ground for the Southampton railway, on the very spot which, in 1645, was occupied by the forces of Cromwell, previous to his last and successful attack on Basing Castle. K ALlscii.—Kalisch, which from the approaching review, and from the assembling of the great Monarchs of the North acquires a peculiar interest, is one of the finest as well as the most ancient towns of Great Poland, and is the capital of the Palatinate whose name it bears. The town is seated in the middle of a marsh, on the banks of the Prosna, which falls a little into the Warte. The number of the inhabitants hi 1816 was only 8,000, but it has since very considerably in creased. The government contains 572,000 souls, and ex tends over 4,730 square miles. It had formerl3i to boast of its ancient castle, built by Casimir the Great, its Church of St. Paul, in which was buried, in 1202, Mieczylas the Aged, who was dethroned three times, and a magnificent college of Je suits, founded by the Primate Karnkowski. There are nume rous manufactories, particularly of cloths, which are very flou rishing, and very fine public gardens, called Opatoweck, which are accessible from the town by a magnificent road. Before the Polish revolution in 1830 the Deputies of the Palatinate of Kalisch formed part of the opposition in the States. The two brothers Niemojowski, cne of whom, Vincent, perished in Po land, a martyr in the cause after it was lost, and the other, Bonaventure, died recently in exile, at Vanvres, near Paris, were at the head of this party, which was called the Kalisch party. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.—Saturday two water men presented a petition to the City Police Committee at Guildhall, stating the danger of navigating the river at the present time owing to the agitation of the water, caused by the number of steam-boats which ply on it, and the rate at which they proceed. The petitioners stated that the present tonnage to every boat for eight persons was one ton one hun dred weight ; of boats for six persons, eighteen hundred weight ; and of boats for four persons, fifteen hundred weight. They considered it necessary, in the present state of the river, to have two tons and a half to each boat. The Master Warden and assistants concurred in the petition, and the Court re commended them to pass a by-law for licensing proper boats, and to lay the same before the Court at their next sitting. FIR Es.-Yesterday morning,, about four o'clock, a fire broke out in a sleeping-romm of the Southwark Arms public-house, Tooley-street, which for a time assumed a most alarming appearance. The family had retired to rest about three hours before, leaving a candle burning on a chair by the side of the bed in a second _floor room and a spark unfortu nately caught the curtains round the bedstead. Very fortu nately an engine belonging to the London establishment was stationed a few doors from the Southwark Arms, and the fire men instantly repaired to the spot to render assistance. After considerable exeetions the damage was confined to the second floor, but everything of wearing apparel and furniture was destroyed ; none of which is insured. Whilst the firemen ,Were engaged at the above fire their attendance was required at the house of Mr. Bateman, baker, 28, Minories. A back room, with all the furniture, was entirely destroyed ; but none of the inmates of the house received any injury, though with some difficulty they prevented any farther damage to other parts of the house. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN A COAL-PIT : SE VENTEEN PERSONS DROWNED.—We have to record another instance of the deplorable loss of life of which coal-pits have, in one shape or other become a pregnant cause. On Friday last as the workmen in the employ of John Fletcher, Esq., at a coal-pit called the " Hullart Hole," near Prestolle, between Manchester and Bolton, about four miles from the latter place, on the banks of the Irwell, were at their employ about eight o'clock in the morning, the water burst in from the bed of the river Irwell, about one hundred yards from the mouth of the pit, with such force that seventeen persons (ten boys and young men, and seven adults) were immediately buried in the water and gravel. The pit contains three mines, the lowest of which the water entered first, and rose with such amazing rapidity that the men working in the upper mines had but just time to escape. About fifteen persons who were working near the mouth of the lower mine, on hearing the roar of the water, ascended the shaft and were providentially saved. The unfor tunate individuals lost have not yet been extricated, and it is supposed that with the greatest possible exertion some days will transpire before they will be able to be got out. The workmen believe there must have been some works underneath the river, and that there has been a . giving way some time. A large piece of timber, together with a gale, was thrown into the river at the point where it seemed to have made a breach in the pit, and they were immediately swallowed up, so that there must have been a very large cavity beneath. The pit is about fifty yards deep, and is now nearly full of water. This melancholy accident has caused the greatest distress and con stqrnation in the neighbourhood. An inquest will be held up on the bodies as soon as they are extricated, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 13, 1835. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFI CE, Seven o'clock. THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at half-past three o'clock. A Messenger from the India House presented returns of compensation granted to the officers of the East India Com pany's Service. On the motion of Mr. POULTER, Lambert's Divorce Bill *as read a second time. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE brought up the, Report of the Com mittee on the Port Dundas and Daigreen Road Bill. On the motion of Mr. CLAY, Bergman's Naturalization Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord SANDON presented a petition from the General Steam Packet Company, praying that the regulations of the port of London may be applied to the port of Liverpool. LIVERPOOL FREEMEN. Lord SAND ON then presented a petition signed by 3,000 freemen of the town of Liverpool, praying that the rights which they have heretofore enjoyed, under their Charter, may be preserved to them, and more especially the right of voting for Members of Parliament. Mr. THORNL E Y did not rise for the purpose of offering any opposition to the Freemen of Liverpool, but he could not help saying that it was well known that the greatest bribery prevailed in all cases of election for Liverpool among the freemen. On one occasion he had seen a public notice posted up in the Committee-room of a Candidate for the office of Mayor, offering one hundred pounds for a tally of freemen to vote for the Mayor. Upwards of 8,0001. had been ex pended at an election for the office of Mayor of Liverpool. It was equally matter of public notoriety that 2,600 free men were bribed at elections for Members of Parliament for that town, and the total expenditure at each of these elections were estimated at 80,000/. Though these freemen petitioned for the preservation of their rights, he was happy to say that the people of Liverpool at large, and a very great number of the freemen, were in favour of the measure of Corporation Re form, and he trusted that that measure would be shortly the law of the land.—( Hear, hear.) Lord S AND ON—There certainly was at one .time gross corruption in Liverpool, but since the last three or four elec tions, even his Hon. Opponent, Mr. Ewart, would admit that no bribery had taken place. He did not think it was very gracious in the Hon. Member to bring forward these charges against the petitioners. In answer to an observation of Mr. Thoniley, the Noble:Lord said that the bribery proved against the freemen of Liverpocl did not amount to more than between 20/. and 30/. Mr. HOGG presented a petition from Beverley against some clauses of the Corporation Reform Bill. Mr. K. TYNTE presented a petition from Yeovil, signed by 2 burgesses and 150 householders, expressing their satis faction at the measure of Municipal Reform introduced by his Majesty's Ministers. TITHES AND REGIUM DONUM. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition from Coleraine, in Londonderry, against the continuance of tithes ; and also against the regium donum. The petitions stated that the great majority of them were Presbyterians ; and they expressed their belief that a compulsory assessment for the support of any Church was not consistent with the interests of true religion and the principles of justioe. He stated that the reguim donum was not only a useless but a pernicious waste of the public money. They further stated that the petition presented from the Synod of Ulster for the continuance of this bounty was signed by many who now regret ted that they bad done any such thing, and they stated that they did so in consequence of being led to believe that the petition only prayed for an equalization. They prayed that the House would equalize the grant by allowing each minister an annual salary of 751. Dr. BOW RING presented a petition from Kilmarnock, praying for the establishment of Boards of Trade. He did not concur in the Ira:, er of the petition. If he believed that the introduction of Boards of Trade would benefit the condition of the labouring classes, he would be the first to advocate them. The experiment had been al ready tried, and had failed, and had been followed by great distress. For these reasons he could not support the prayer of the petition. Mr. WILK S said his Hon. Friend might have added, that the establishment of Boards of Trade would not only not add to the prosperity of the weavers, but would, in a very short time, be most detrimental to the interests of the manufacturers also. The evil would extend until it put an end to the manu factures of whatever district was obliged to inflict itself with such Boards. Mr. RUT VEN could not allow such remarks to pass altogether without notice. There was no doubt that the working men in these places were labouring- under very great privations—( Hear, hear),—and ho hoped Parliament would find out some remedy for the evil, even though the Com mittee might decide against Boards of Trade. He did not like to hear the abstract principles of political - economy brought forward in cases of such distress. Mr. O'CONNELL must protest against any abuse of poli tical economy upon the part of his Hon. Colleague.—( A laugh.) It was impossible for the Parliament to legislate with any benefit upon such a subject. All that they could do was to take off the taxes upon knowledge, and then the labouring man would know how unbencficial such a measure would be to himself. Mr. POTTER presented a petition from an individual named John Brand (as we understood), complaining of the great cruelty now exercised in Lunatic Asylums, and praying that the House would take some steps to remedy the defect in the Bill then before the House. Mr. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from Stoke-on the Tren►, praying for the abolition of the tax upon the news papers. Sir OSWALD MO SELEY supported:the prayer of the petition. Mr. FRESHFIELD presented a petition, signed by at. tornies and solicitors, praying for relief from the Annual Tax imposed upon them by the taking cut of their certificates. Mr. OSWALD presented three petitions from the Mer chants and Traders of the city of Glasgow, respecting "the du ties upon Baltic timber, of the Committee, because by law the power was delegated to them.—( Hear, hear.) It would in his (Mr. Wynn's) opinion, be excessively inconvenient, if a party against whom a decision was come to by an Election Committee should be allowed to enter into a long protest, stating that the decision was erroneous in such and such points. He protested against its being received, as it would open a door to very many in conveniences. _ _ Mr. O'CONNELL—The Right Hon. Member could not have understood what he said, or else he would not have made those objections. If he did understand what he (Mr. O'Con nell) had said, his objections would lead to the most monstrous mischief. This petition prayed for legislative relief, and had no connection whatever with the recent election. It did not impeach in the slightest degree the seat of the present lion. Member for Drogheda, nor did it impeach, which would be highly indelicate, the integrity of the Committee ; on the contrary, it set up a pure point of law, and com plained that the Committee had decided on that law, taking it for granted that the Committee had decided rightly, but the petitioner further prayed legislative relief from this law. There was no appeal from this Committee, an the law as laid down would be taken as a precedent by other Com mittees, and under these circumstances the only remedy was to come to that House for legislative relief. This decision was unexpected, arid was contrary to the opinion of legal men most conversant with these matters, but this petition did not impeach the legality of the decision or the integrity of the Committee, but merely prayed that the House would le gislate on the subject. Mr. W YNN begged pardon or the Hon.; and Learned Gentleman. The petition distinctly questioned the legality of the judgment. That House had no authority to pronounce whether the Committee did or did not decide rightly. They could only legislate for the future. The petitioner " alleged that he was prepared to piove.that the decision which had re moved him from his seat, and which bad deprived his consti tuents of their representative, was illegal." Now, he would ask, was not this a direct impeachment of the legality of the decision ?—( Hear.) They might as well say that all election petitions should be decided by a majority of the House, as in the time of Sir Robert Walpole, who said that he would , look not to the merits of the petition, but to the petitioner.— (Cries of " Spoke.") Mr. WARBURTON did not believe that in recent deci sions it was usual to be very strict in the construction of pe titions. This petition did not question the legality of the de cision of the Committee, nor did it seek to displace the mem ber who now sits for the borough of Drogheda ; and he did not conceive that the words referred to by the Right Hon. Member (Mr. Wynn) would prevent the House from re ceiving the petition. If they followed the rule laid down by that Right Hon. Member they must consider the law of Election Committees absolutely perfect. Now every Hon. Member out of the House admitted that a Com mittee was the very worst tribunal in the world to which those questions could be referred. Let the House took at the first Committee to which this case had been referred, in which it was decided that by an incorrect description of qualification the return should bo set aside. Let them compare this de cision with that in the case of the Honourable Member fir Dover (Mr. Halcomb). He (Mr. Halcomb) gave no description at all, but came before the House and re quested that additional time should be allowed him to put in a correct qualification. When the question came be fore the House, he (Mr. W.) appealed to the then Speaker, whether if the House complied with the request it would prevent the election Committee from trying, according to the Grenville Act, whether there - was a qualification or not. The Committee in that case acted as directed by the Act of Parliament. They went into the question, and they decided that the Hon. Member was possessed of a qualification, although in fact be bad not given in any description of it. Was not this a (ale to he complained of? No one at present could possi bly know upon what points of law the Committee would de cide, or what was to be considered as applicable to the case. Every one, either in the House or out of it, complained of the tribunal, and it appeared to him that it was now high time that all election petitions should be referred to a different tribunal.—( Cheers.) He would suggeet that there should be three or four permanent Committees ap pointed by the Speaker, or otherwise, with some eminent law yer to preside over them— ( Loud cheers)—and tell them the state of the law, and in his opinion these Committees cught not only to be open generally, but at all times, so that the public might not only be able to see what their decivions were, but the grounds upon which they were founded. Colonel WOOD complained that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had not given notice to the Hon. Gentleman % was the Chairman of the Committee. ' Mr. WARBURTON said it was, and had been, for some time in the Orders of the Day. Air. O'CONNELL said he had shown the petition to the Hon. Member (Mr. Warburton), who said it had nothing at all to do with the Committee. Col. WOOD, as the only member who had been on the Committee then present, was very anxious to say a few words upon the question. The Hon. Gent. who was Chairman of the Committee, had been out of town for some days, and it would have been desirable that he had been present, be cause he was the best able to have stated the facts pre sented before the Committee. He (Colonel W.) would say, though he 'did not by any means wish to ask for a discussion upon the sibject, yet he would say there never was a Com mittee who felt that they had amore difficult question to deal with, or one who was more anxious to deal with the case ac cording to the spirit of their oaths. Had the question been an Ertos4 one, there would have been no doubt on the minds of any Committee, that the qualification was a bad one, and though he had very seriously considered the question many times since, he was quite satisfied that the vote he then gave was perfectly in accordance with the spirit of the Act of Parliament for Ireland which governed such a case. Mr. S HEIL contended that the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin had given the best notice of the presentation of the petition which it was in his power to do—having had it inserted in the Orders of the Day. He considered the qualification of Mr. O'Dwyer to be a per fectly good one. Mr. Til'L EAN (we believe) complained of the manner in which election committees were at present arranged, and hoped that some amendment would take place in this respect. Colonel PERCIVAL agreed with the Hon. Member who lia 1 last spoken, that some alteration should be made in the mode of conducting election petitions. He would not go the length of the Hon. and Learned Member for Tipperary, who asserted that a lease of lives renewable for ever was equivalent to a perpetuity. He complained of the introduction by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, of the majority and minority, and the mode in which they had been obtained. The Hon. and Learned Member did not state that 200 electors had been prevented, by intimidation, from coming in to vote for his Hon. Friend (Mr. Plunkett), or that 116 of those who had voted for the petitioner, had pledged themselves to vote for his Hon. Friend. There ought to be some new regula tion with respect to Irish elections, to prevent the discredi table and disreputable interference of a certain body between the candidate and the voters. He had no objection to the reduction of the amount of qualification, provided it was made a bone fide one, and liable for the debts of the Hon. Member.—( Hear.) Let it be lower in amount, but not _fictitious humbug qualification.—( Hear, hear.) As in his opinion the petition contained an imputation indirectly on the decision of the Committee, if it went to a division, he should feel it his duty to vote against its reception. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN differed with the Hon. and Gallant Member for Sligo, as to the qualification of the peti tioner, which he considered was a valid one. The only inti midation was, that of the entire sense of the people of Ireland, which was opposed to the party which the Honourable and Gallant Member supported. Why had he not brougl,t a posse of Orangemen into Drogheda, which he hadflionoured him (Mr. Grattan) with in Trim?—(l - sear, hear.) He had seen them march with pistols under their cloaks and bludgeons in their hands, headed by a clergyman armed with a loaded pistol.—( Hear, from the Ministerial Benches.) He proceeded at some length to point out the-difference in the law respect inp,[the qualification for Members of Parliament in England and Ireland, and contended that in his view of the case the pe titioner had a good and bona fide qualification. Mr. WYNNE did not object to the admissibility of the prayer of the petition, but of the allegations it contained. Mr. PLUNKETT gave the most distinct denial to all the statements which accused him of intimidation. He would not have taken the trouble, nor have-gone-44.41a. oxpance which he had done to procure his seat, if it had been a-seat to be procured only by the degree of violence which characterized the supporter of the Hon. Member opposite. He was glad of the opportunity of giving a distinct denial, to what he trusted was only a mistaken report that such violence was ever conducted or countenanced by the clergy of the county of Meath, who should always have a sincere defender in him. As to the law of the case, it seemed to be a doubt ful question to all the members of that House, of whatever political hue that party might be. As to the majority of voters prevented from voting, the Hon. Member for. Meath was not one of that number. The constituency amounted to 596-145 of whom did not vote, being prevented from coming into the town. He did not complain of his opponent or of the Hon. Member for Meath, as they had conducted themselves towards him with that proper feeling which he hoped would always prevail amongst gentlemen. Mr. GRATTAN would call upon his Hon. Friend the Member for Dublin to confirm the fact that Mr. Sullivan, the High Sheriff of Meath, seized an avowed Orangeman in the Court-house of Meath. Mr. ROBINSON said this was not the place to try the merits of the case, he should vote for the reception-of this petition, which, in his opinion, did not impugn the conduct of the Committee. The constitution of Election Committees of this House required to be reformed, which was evident from the mere phraseology which was used in the House, when it was said such a man had a good or a bad Committee. He himself had had circulars sent to him, because he held certain opinions, requesting him to attend some Election Committees, which circulars he treated, as he trusted every man would do who w as called upon to act as a juryman, and whose judgment some one previously attempted to prejudice. He hoped that early next session some influential Member would bring in some plan for improving the character and constitution of Election Committees.—( Hear. ) Mr. CHARLTON would support the reception of the pe tition, in the hope that it would lead to the adoption of the suggestion of the Hon. Member who last addressed the House. Mr. C. BULLER reminded the House that he was about to bring forward a motion for the total alteratation o f the constitution of those Committees, and though he did not expect that every Honourable Member would agree to his plan, yet he 'trusted that all who admitted the evil would lend their assistance in his attempt to provide some adequate remedy..--( Hear.) Mr. RONA YNE extremely regretted that the people of Drogheda bad bad a representative thrust upon them merely because they were ignorant of the election laws. He could assure the House that bands of Cavan Orangemen had paraded ' the streets of Trim during the election. Mr. MORGAN O'CONNELL corroborated this state ment. Mr. O'CONNELL would not trouble the House with any observations in reply, if the Hon. and Gallant Member for Sligo had not introduced some topics which did not belong to the subject. The Hon. Member spoke of intimidation in Ireland, but though there were 16 or 17 petitions complaining of intimida tion, not one of them had been gone into before the Committee— not one particle of evidence had been afforded on this subject, and it was too bad for the Hon. and Gallant Member for Sligo to have the advantage of tht:se party accusations, when an opportunity had been given him of fully investigating the sub ject, and yet not a particle of evidence had been brought forward to support it. This was the way in which the people of Ireland were calumniated by a faction.—( Choers, and cries of " Order" and " Question.") That was the question. (Great cheering.) That debate would do a great deal of good. Great advantage would arise from this discussion, as there was not a single human being who had risen to defend the present system of Committees. Every one pronounced against it, and when he recollected that they decided upon their oaths, and that they were constituted the first gentry, and yet that all complained of them, he would ask was it decent to continue this system? There was a universal complaint against it.—( Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the Cavan Orangemen, he had himself seen them enter Trim in procession, and he had never seen the people more peaceable—they allowed the Orangemen to pass through them without any interruption. He did not see any fire-arms, nor any weapon in the possession of these Orange men, except concealed bludgeons.—( Hear, hear.) Before they went home, however, one life was lost. The great ad vantage of this discussion would be, that. it would lead to the amendment of the law, and he gave notice that when the Bill of the Honourable Member for Middlesex went into Committee, if the clause doing away with the qualification should be lost, he would move that a qualifica tion in personal property, or money in the funds of the same value, should be equal to a freehold qualification.—( Loud cheers.) He would also move upon the subject of the lease of lives, in order to take it away from Committees. After a few words from Col. PERCIVAL, Col. Woon, and Col. VERNER, The SPEAKER put the question that the petition do lie upon the table, which was agreed to. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE presented a petition from certain individuals against the system of farming post-horses. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS—(IRELAND.) . 111 r. "PERRIN gave notice of his intention to introduce a Bill for the regulation of Municipal Corporations in Ireland. --(Loud cheers from the Irish Ministerial Members.) Mr. CHARLTON laid upon the table the protest of Mr. Hogg, one of the Corporation Commissioners. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The HON. MEAIBER then gave notice that in consequence of a groEs attack made upon him in the Morning Chronicle News paper, he should to-morrow move that the proprietor be called to the Bar of that House. Colonel PERCEVAL begged to know from the Hon. and Learned Member the Attorney-General for Ireland whe ther his Majesty's Government intended to prosecute James Slevin, against whom bills had been preferred and found for murder ? _ _ _ Mr. PERRIN replied in the negative. He had consulted with h's predecessor (Mr. Blackburne), and they were both of opinion that on the principle that a man should not be tried twice for the same oTence no prosecution would be instituted by the Government- The Hon. Member entered at some length into the history of the transaction in which Slevin was implicated, but from the low tone in which he spoke we could nit catch the particulars. In answer to a question from Col. Perceval, Mr. PERRIN said the Government did not intend to enter a nolle prosequi. Mr. O'CONNELL had a petition to present from Slevin, but would not do so after the explanation that had been given.---( Hear, hear.) He hoped that if any prosecution took place, it would not be by private individuals, but by the lonv officers of the Crown, or sonic responsible person autho rized by them. Col. VERNER wished to ask the Attorney-General of Ireland, if the sentence of transportation upon two persons who were convteted at the last Armagh Session, of a violent assault, bad been commuted. Mr. PERRIN macina reply which was totally inaudible in the gallery. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask whether any body had been arrested, or whether any prosecution had been instituted against the persons . who had burnt fourteen houses belonging to Catholics, a few days after that assault? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was not aware of any such circumstance. The assault took place on the 31st of December or the Ist cf January last. Colonel VERNER—As the lion. and Learned Member has thought proper to introduce this subject on one or two occasions,----( Cries of " Order, order," in the midst of which the Hon. Member sat down.) The SPEAKER called the Hon, Member to Order. Mr. O'CONNELL—I want an answer to my question re specting the 14 houses which were burnt on the 14th of Ja nuary.—(Hear.) Colonel VERNER said, that it was a fact that two of the houses were set fire to by their occupants. CORPORATION BILL. In answer to a question from Sir R. PEEL, • Lord J. RUSSELL said he should move the 3d reading of the Corporation Bill on Friday, and Irish Church Bill would be brought on on Monday next. The Report on the Corpo ration Bill would be brought up to-morrow, but if it could not be read a third time on Friday, it would be necessary to bring it on the first thing on Monday. Mr. \SILKS thought it would be impossible in one meeting to go through the various discussions. Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it would occupy so much time. If it did it would then be time enough to take a dif ferent course.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. D. HARVEY gave notice, that he would move on the report being brought up, that a sum of 40,0001. being the in terest on the million advanced to the Irish clergy be raised by an additional charge upon the property of Ireland, subject to the poll tax. —( Hear, hear.) HIS MAJESTY'S ASSENT TO THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir, I have been directed by his Majesty to announce to this House, that his Majesty has been most graciously pleased to place at the disposal of Par liament his Majesty's interest in all benefices in the Church of Ireland.—(Tremendous cheering.) The Bill was then read a second time, and the House went into Committee on the Bill pro forma. Sir ROBERT PEEL—Suppose the Corporation Bill is not read a third time on Friday, and should take up some of the time of the llouse on Monday, then he supposed this Bill would not go into Committee till Tuesday. Lord J. RUSSELL, certainly. Mr. HUME hoped that if the Corporation Bill was not read on Friday, that the House would meet for that purpose on Saturday.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," with " Hear.") THE MILITARY. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that unless some order was issued from the Horse Guards to prevent soldiers not on duty, wearing their side arms, he should, on the next occasion of the House going into a Commitee of Supply, move that an address be presented to his Majesty, praying that an order to that effect be issued. Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that it be referred to the Committee sitting on Military Punishments. (LEFT SITTING.) ' SPIRIT LICENCES. Mr. HURST presented a petition from the Licensed Vic tuallers of Horsham, against the increased duty on Spirit Li censes, and praying that a graduated scale may be established. Mr. BRUEN presented a petition from the High Sheriff and Grand Jury of the county of Carlow against the Irish Church Bill. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. RANDALL PLUNKETT presented a petition from a parish in the county of Meath in support of the Irish Church. The petitioners deprecated the practice of Roman Catholics legislating on matters of vital interest to the Established Church.—( Hear.) He had merely to observe, that many such petitions had been presented, and, ha I he been present, he should feel it his duty to have supported them. The peti tioners also were of opinion that the interests of Protestantism and Ireland were the same, in which he agreed. POOR LAWS. Sir RONALD FERGUSON presented a petition from Nottingham for the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Bill DUBLIN POST-OFFICE-MR. MOULDS. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Mr. George Frederick Moulds, who had been thirty-one years a clerk in the Dublin Post-office, and who was dismissed without any reasonable cause, it being alleged that he was in the country attending more to his own business as an attorney than that of the Post-office, whereas his absence was only occa sioned by ill health, and praying the House for relief. IRISH CHURCH. The same HON. MEMBER presented a petition from a gen tleman, a Doctor of Medicine, stating that the rector of the parish in which he resided received 5301. a-year, but that there were only twenty Protestants in the parish. It would appear from the last returns he had made a mistake, for there were only 22 Protestants, while there were upwards of 2,000 Catholics in that parish. The petitioner prayed that this House, which•had given twenty millions for the emanci pation of ie negrocs, would allow a sufficient sum to pay the Ministers of the Established Church, without tithing the land. CASE OF MR. MAIN, DUBLIN. The same HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from Mr. Robert Main, of the city of London, distiller, praying for compensation for certain-discoveries he had made, by which the revenue had been considerably improved. It was found that the petition was not signed, and therefore it was withdrawn. DROGHEDA ELECTION. The same HoN. MEMBER also presented a petition from A. Carew O'Dwyer, barrister-at-law, and late a Member of the :House, stating that at the last general election he was returned for the City of Drogheda, and in giving in his qualification, he stated that it was situated in St. Peter's, in the County of the City of Dublin, in the Barony of Upper Cross. In point of fact, part of the Barony of Upper Cross was in the county, and part in the county of the city of Dublin. A petition was presented against him, and as the property out of which he registered, was situate in the county, instead of the county of the city, the variance was considered fatal by the Committee, and he was unseated. A new writ was then is sued for the Borough of Drogheda, and Mr. O'Dwyer having obtained the opinion of the first legal advisers in England and Ireland, that his qualification was regular and unimpeachable, was again returned, but was unseated on a second petition ; and the gentleman who opposed him, and had a smaller number of votes, was declared duly elected.—( Hear, hear.) The petitioner further stated, and in this he was corrobo rated by the Hon. Member for Bridport, one of the Com mittee, that the lease-hold out of which he voted, was sufficient according to the provisions of the Act to qualify him to sit in Parliament.—( Hear.) The interest should be either legal or equitable, and in the present case the opinion of the legal gentlemen on the Committee was, that the grantor had an interest sufficient to enable him to grant a proper qualifica tion to the petitioners. - Mr. O'Dwyer did not impeach the honour or integrity of the Committee, but he com plained that their decision was contrary to the law---( Hear, hear)—that at the last election 320 voted for him, and only 131 for his opponent, the present member, and he therefore submitted that the borough was not represented by the majoj rite, but the minority of the voters. He prayed, in conclu sion, that the House would not permit the present session to pass without introducing an Act for the more liberal regula tion of the qualification of candidates, and take away the power of substitution from Committees. Mr. WYNN complained that this petition was an appeal against the judgment of the Committee—(No, no; hear, hear.) At least it raised a sort of question upon their deci sion, and put the Committee on their defence. It was no thing whether the House did or did not agree with the decision HOUSE OF LORDS. A Message from the Commons, by Mr. EWART and other!, brought up the Prisoners' Counsel Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Birdport, in favour of the Corporation Bill.; He would take that opportunity of denying a statement made by some of the newspapers of this morning, to the effect that he was chargeable with having procured the appointment of Sir F. Pal grave as one of the Commissioners of Inquiry into Corporations. With that appointment he had nothing to do. So far from that, he (Lord B.) had, though he acknowledged that the Learned Knight was both clever and experienced ; yet he had not , disguised his opinion, that he had also some. _very_ curious _ and outrageous ciutiAlets In his head, which might probably prevent him from co-operating in an efficient manner with his brother Commis sioners. The Noble and Learned Lord then presented peti tions for the removal of the Stamp Duties on Newspapers from Bridport, Fifeshire, Wellingborough, and other places. CATHOLIC MARRIAGE BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice, that he would move the second reading of the above Bill on Monday next. PRISONERS' COUNSEL BILL. Lord BROUGHAM said, that though he was friendly to the principles of this Bill, there were some clauses in it, to which he could not possibly give his consent. Lord LYNDHURST suggested that the way would he to refer the Bill to a Committee up stairs. Lord BROUGHAM considered that that would be the better course, and he would propose that the Bill be read a first time then, a second time to-morrow, pro forma, be printed, and then sent to a Committee up stairs. The Bill was then read a first time upon this understanding. CERTIORARI BILL. Lord BROUGHAM withdrew the Bill upon this subject, with the consent of his Noble Friend the Chief Justice, and substituted one of a more comprehensive nature in its stead, which was read a first time. COMMISSION OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. In answer to a question from Lord FARNHAM, Viscount DUNCANNON said he expected that the Report of the Commissioners on the above subject would very shortly be produced. *.it,t, himself, and he thought that, had that Hon. Gentleman 1° %I' - Nvhem he alluded acted in the same spirit, he thought would have acted in a more fair and manly flay. He woulti; however, take the opportunity of denying , in t he strong.V ' 11 . manner, that there had been a defalcation in the accounts of tnit''' Post office during the last 10 years to the.amount of 1,900,000 had the Hon. Gentleman only looked to the return Ne per tossed to read from, he would have framtl that in the very' line to that from which he quoted , that there was '-' one shilling unaccounted :for, as the returns which he novi moved for would show. He moved for a retur n of tile': receipts and expenditure of the establishment during the la g 10 years. He hoped his Noble Friend would have no ob;ec-.- tion to the making of such a return, as it would prove rno3lt clearly that the office kept its accounts correctly and haat not lost one single shilling be post-masters or otherwise, duriniff the wh&e of the period to wilich he hid referred. The Earl of LICHFIELD had no objection tope produc. tion of the returns—so far from that, he was much obliged tai his Noble Friend for the opportunity pf making sense state ments in opposition to those tnitee by an Hon. Gen.tleman is another place.—( Hear.) He (Act not altogether bi,ime the gentleman alluded to ; for if lie believCd there was a ten tli. of the abuses in the establishment that lie had brought f° l- ', ward, then it was his duty to bring it under the nottez 01 Parliament ; but he ought to have made himself better acquainted with the facts of the case before lie made sttelf.' . grave charges against a public establishment. He regretted exceedingly that the Hon. Gentleman had made such gra +. O charger> against a Gentleman who had been for 50 years the service of the public, and who had acquitted himself in hit office of Secretary to the Post Office with so ,muqt . : honour to himself and benefit to the public, which was Cy' dent from the vastly increased revenue which had been broug}o in under his management. (LEFT SPEAKING.) FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER., On Friday night, a few minutes past nine, a long wherrY.(' containing five Gentlemen, was run down off Globe stairk Rotherhithe, by the Red Rover, Herne Bay steamer, Capt.•• Large, and two of them drowned. The wherry ald the steamer were proceeding up the river in the same dim:tit:oli,, against the tide, and the per Sons in the boat consiste(ts Messrs. Robert Cumberland, Gilbert Wilson, John Snail and Edward Jones, Manchester warehousemen, of 136;• Cheapside, and Mr. William Cumberland, 'also connectel with the linen trade, of 17, Watling-street, four of whorl' were rowing and the other steering. They were c oming round the point near the Pageants almost at the same time as the Red Rover, when the offset of the tide sheered the .1 boat into the middle of the stream in the track of thf steamer, which was coming up at a very rapid rate eloOe' astern of them. The people in the steamer hailed them to' get out of the way, but whether through incompeten* alarm, or otherwise, they were unable to do so, and the steamer bore down upon them, struck the boat a miciabiP s ''' and she instantly went down. Two of the party went one side of the steamer and two on the other, while the if.t„ went under the vessel. Boats were put off, and Mr. 11 0 `,-:;son, son, Mr. Snape, and Mr. Robert Cumberland, were vitP ; considerable difficulty saved, but the other two we°. drowned. The body of Mr. William Cumberland, aged lit was picked up on Saturday morning, but that of Mr. Jones, aged 27, has not been found. Captain Large Po w every attention to those who were saved, and, in expressirg his deep regret at the accident, said that he hailed the GO' tlemen, and stopped the engines as soon as possible. It 1 , 5 the general opinion that the accident was in a great ulcr sure caused by the unskilfulness of the Gentlemen, and the circumstance of the offset of the tide sheering their bat out from the shore. Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, about half-past thrae o'clock, three young men and a boy, who had just before hired a skiff of Messrs. Needham and Judge, a t Paul l Wharf, were proceeding up the river near BlackFrio l6 Bridge, -when, owing to the unskilfulness of xwo of the p 0 who were rowing, and the alarm into which they we e thrown by the heavy swell caused by the Fairy stearri which was going down the river at the time, they WO! - driven against the piles near the bridge, and the boat stantly capsized, immersing the whole party in the streao ) A gentleman's servant and the lad, whose age is t en yearP were carried away. by the strength of the tide, and sun k ' • Another clung to one of the piles and remained in that . sition, until one of the Numerous boats which put off toj' i ° assistance took him in. The fourth saved himself by c, a. ing to the keel of the boat after it had capsized. Droo_, were instantly procured, and watermen continued draggq for the bodies during the afternoon, but they were not tout''' . . Another accident occurred by a boat hired of the s a ltr e t persons, containing three gentlemen, who were also witliut a waterman, by running athwart a tier of barges - on the upper side of the bridge ; but the party were saved by tl watermen. The state of the river near the bridge is nod! highly dangerous, and'great caution should be used, park cularly by amateurs. • NAVAL IN TELLIGEN CE. (From the lia;npshire Telegraph.)

Lord FARNHAM moved for some additional returns as to the number of commitments made under the Procession Abo lition Act, where the parties did not celebrate any anniversary. He thought the spirit of the law only applied to processions held for the purpose of celebrating anniversaries. Viscount MELBOURNE did not consider that the law was so confined in its nature, but he had no objection to the Returns being made.—Ordered. The Earl of RADNOR moved for a Return of the number of bastard children affiliated at the various sessions of 1834 and 1835.—Ordered. Lord TEYNHAM gave notice that on Friday he would move for a similar return of the commitments under the New Poor Law Bill. POST OFFICE.
