PARLIAMENt 1-101./St, OF 'LORDS, FEsituaav 19 - - The House met to-day in Commission at: four o'cloCk, the Commissioners being the &irl of Shaftesbury, the L'ord Chancellor ; and Lord tl leuborough, when the Royal Assent was given to the Exc.heriner Bilis 12 (millions) Bill; acid to the Appropriation Bills (12 millions). The House met again at tive o'clock. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a. petition from certain Protestant Dissenters of Thorne, in- York ;shire, praying for the repeal of the Testand Corpora tion Acts. • • Matliiia of LONDON-DERRY presented a petititiOn Gin the Reiman Catholics of the town of Londonderry, in favotir of the Catholic Claims; In presenting this petition, it was.not his' 'intention to occupy their Lordships' time in making any observe %dons, because he believed the time would come when it would b e the re material for him to do so. `..Bet he could not help saying it was with surprise he heard the question put to the Noble and Illustrious . Duke at the head of his Majesty's Governt'fient, a short time ago, whethei he ifitetnied to bring forward any measures for the relief of' the Roman Catholics in 'lreland, by those very Noble Loids who' had than - selves sat on the Ministerial side of ' the House for nine ' months, without ever venturing to, propose any measure for such a peirpose. They then vowed it was not the season to iiitroduce*ich meastices,, although they. ivere• clothed in . the outward and visible signs of all such power. He , could not but think it 'a little bard on hisillustirous Friend, that Nvithin ten days after he had taken charge of the British Government such a question should have been put tei him, as could only tend to excite the Roman Catholics in irefatid, who, God Ithows, wanted no 'excitement. He lamented the pass 'to which things had conic in Ireland, and he hoped that Some legislative enact ment would prevent the continuation of, the acts of din Association in that country, which were ex tremely detrimental tb , the cause of the Roman Ca tholics. Their Lordships all knew that the Catholic ': rent %yea collected in Ireland, and last week 'the amount of that rent was 6001. That money could not be applied to any good purpose, and the Catholics greatly mistook their cause if they thought it was in Ireland, by any act of theirS, that they could carry their object. He should abstain from making any de tailedstatement until the proper period should arrive. Lord GODERICH, who had taken his seat on the crosa-benches, when the Earl of Shaftesbury -moved that the House should now adjourn, rose and addressed the House as follows :—My Lords, I feel myself under the necessity of again troubling your Lordships' with a very few observations upon a matter personal to myself 'and in reference to that subject upenavhich I took the liberty of addressing your Lordships in the course of last week. In what I presumed then to lay iaefore .the House, it was my....anxious desire to avoid saying any thing that could offend the ear or affect the character of any man whatever. My object was to justify and vindicate ' not to complain of, nor make an attack on others. I had no wish as hatcver to' rest my reputation on any thing that might fall on others, but it was my, duty to state to your Lordships, as I_ did state, ' nothing 'but. the .plain truth. Certainly I sheuld not, without an absolute • necessity for it, again, trouble your Lordships upon this subject. For whatever your Lordships might think.with regard to the prudence of the course I took, whatever ' you might think with regard to my individual fitness for the situation' in which I was placed, upon that I' should not have thought it necessary to trouble your Lordships With' any reniarkS; but 'i cannot 'forbear something now, because imputations,, as, it appears to .sic at least,' have been cast upon me, which, if true, would render me unfit now to appear before your Lordships Again: for if I understand right that which has . been stated, is that I went to the King with a false pretence, and that 1 had a covert design, different from. that which 1 professed , to entertain. I should have thought I ' might have relivd on what the world knew of me 'for many years past, not to have been the subject of an imputation 'of that kind, and I - can 'scarcely .)ring myself now to believe that after all any •neli, imputation has been made, but it. do - say, if it has,_there is no' earthly • fotindatiOn for it whatevet. That which I. went to big Majesty to state, was, the real immediate cause that led to the precarious situation in which • the Government stood, and that it -did not arise frdin• any other iuunediate cause than that; shut it is stated: that I used the resignation of the 'Chancellor of die EXchequer as a pretence !—Good God ! if 1 had been guilty of such a proCeeding, I should have been the baseSt of mankind: his impossible I could' haVe been guilty% of such a thing, I wrote to that in aiividual myself, in svhich letter l' told hint, in the plainest terms, that my Right ,Hat. Friend the Secre• tary of State did conceive it to beimpO.ssible for him to acquiesce in the nomination- of any other in dividual, as the Chairman of the Committee of Finance, than the individual who was .mentioned. I stated to him, if the decision was against that no-: minatien, it would immediately be followed by the resignation of the flight Honourable the Secretary of State, and that that would be the dissolution of 'the' Government; " I added that his - own resig nation, which' he had tendered to me 'before, would, in all .probability be attended with the same consequence. How then, .after that, could it be said I went to his Majesty under any false pre tence.? That was the view I took, and whether right or wrong, whether accurate or inaccurate in pre ' dietine. such a consequence, that .was the situation in which I was placed—the feelings under which I ucted— 'and 1 . defy the ingenuity of any individual to prove that I acted in say other way. On the next day I wrote. -another letter—l have the letter now in my pocket, and if I thought it necessary for the satisfaction of yourLordships' or my own vindication, I should read , those letters. At. ptesent.l du not consider that necessary. On the next day 1 urged . him -to reconsider his objection—aud en-- treated hint . in the sweetest terms not to take the course he, said he should take. because I foresaw the consequence to which that might lead. I further added, 1 thought we owed it toptirselves—to the King—and to our country, not to break up the Government without .an ab solute_ necessity for it ; that it was our duty to .n:eet Parliament,_ and let it decide as it might on our conduct. But that produced no effect on his conduct, he continued to refer me to his original let ter,i n which he distinctly reeigned his situation unless the nomination were changed, Well, that being so, I should beglad to know upon what ground it can be asserted 1 went to . the King under any false pretence: I say the course he took was the immediate cause of the dissolution of the Government. If he had,Amy other reasons which influenced his conduct, I know not ; I stop not to inquire .into the: otives of ally . roan—l impute motives -to no man, but I do say I was. justified in abiding, and bound ko abide, by that which wag written and put hefoie me, a n d tuft bound , to' conclude that the .:reasun which l e d 'him to tender his resignation was, the conviction in his own mind, that the appointment was one which ought ant ti, take place. But then . it ii• also zepresented-..... your Lordships will give me 'leave; perhaps, to allude to• those matters without impropriety, thought I cannot say how tar they . inly' be decorate—hut it is said there existed a design —a sort of plot.:. -a desien to hied( up . the Go vernment! low I should be gl:id to ask; wile entertained that design ?, By whom was it concocted ?' As Tar as I lcnow, • i I positively deity that any midi' plot ever did'eiist ; deny that a n y o ne else did, es far as I know and ,* al ... done, act with any such design. . I 'do nut mean to s ay, that circuinstauees might het have oteurred by Whiith the Govenimeut might have 'found itself in such 'a ' situation that it might not have met the approbation of Parliament, and that consequently it must have been dissolived ; but 'say that there was so such design either to 'alter the charac-' ter of the country; or to break 'it ‘up,- enteitaihed by any 1 ' one tat my knowledge, and that it is one of the m O s t gratuitous assumptions that can be made in diseussin g a'subjeet of the kind. I know not that it can be neeessary for me here to go over any of the topics I went Over before, or to avail myeelf of this opportunity to introduce new matter leading to new controversies iu the different Reuses of Parlia ment; which I think' is the most unfortunate thing that 'can be conceived. If what bad been represented affected merely my character as a Minister, 'or my'fitness for the situation which I held, I would not have said another word, but 1 felt it apply to myself personally,: and I could not think that I should have done justice to my own character and honour as a gentleman, if I hid not in the face of this House come forward and said, I am incapable of going with a laLe pretence to any one, much more so to the King, and to have betrayed him, which I should have done, if I had been guilty of that which appears to have been imputed to me. Lord CARLISLE—It wtis with great surprise and astonishment that I heafd it stated in another place that the difference of opinion which existed between two Right Honourable Gentlemen was not the real cause of. the dissolution of the late Ad ministration. My Lords, I can assure you that I know of no other canse,,.and that in thy hearing no other cause was ever assigned for that dissolution. I cenfe . SOT thyself, my Lords, perfectly i 3loraiit of any mysterious knowledge of any secret machinery —of any secret intrigue, which mayhave been employed in bringing about the dissolution Of the-late Admi nistration: . The cause stated , by my Noble Friend (Lord Goderich) was the real and the immediate cause assigned for that dissolution, and I am satis tied that my Noble Friend was correct in - the as surances which he had made to his colleagues, that that difference of opinithr was the real cause of the dissolution, for I consider my Noble Friend to be a man incapable ofpalming a spurious, and if a spu rious, a dishonourable mptive upon his colleagues. For that, reason I thought it my, duty to say one word in corroboration of the statement of my I\oble Friend : as .I am now on my legs, and explanations seem the order of the day, I trust your Lordships will allow me to say a word for mysell. I can assure your Lordships that I do so with great pain and reluctance, but that pain is diminished by the document which has been, alluded to iu the course of the discussion in this House and elsewhere. The document I mean is the speech spoken at Liverpool. There is no part of that speech inure accu rate than that which.describes me as the old and personal friend of a Right Hon. Gent. now no mere. That friendship began at an early period of our respective lives, and con tinued through various vicissitudes and political differences steady and uninterrupted,and the remembrance of that friend ship I. shall cherish to the latest period of my existence. I shill not now make any observation upon the manner or character of the attacks by which the Right Honourable Gentleman was assailed ;—I shall say nothing as to how he was, whilst living, pursued by every mode which. political rancour could suggest; but I must say, that I felt with pain, that the grave did not afford his memory a refuge, or the tomb a sanctuary. I own, my Lords, it was with concern that I heard a Noble Lord opposite de signate my Right Honourable Friend as. a dangerous Minister; if he was a dangerous Minister, it was a danger not known to the people of the country who supported him—if he was a dangerous Minister—it was a danger unknown to .the Sovereign who protected him—if he was a dangerous Minister, it was a danger not known to the.fiee States on the Continent of Europe—it was a dan ger nut known by a great Northern Power not blessed with free institutions—l mean Russia, whose esteem ,he held to the latest hour . of his existence.—(Loud cheers.) I have been led away more than I ought, but I must say that it Was the existence of that friendship to which 1 have alluded, which made my Right Hon. Friend last year look upon me as the most suitable organ of com munication with my Noble Friend (Marquis of Lansdowne) whom I do not now see in his place, and which comma .nication led to the accession of my Noble Friend to the Councils of his Majesty. The existence of that friendship may.have placed me towards that • Right Hon. Gendeman in a situation different from that of my Noble Friend, but I shall not now enter into an explanation of what passed at that period ; but considering how much I .admired the upright and manly. conduct of my Noble ' Friend, and considering how much I admired the whole tenor of his political life, I felt that 1 could not recon , rile it to.my private feeling,, or to my sense of, public duty, to separate my political fate from that, of the Noble Marquis. I therefore retired horn the Administration, without feelings. either ,of Mortification or disappoint ' went. I must now, my Lords, offer to the Noble Duke at the 'head of the Administration my grateful thanks for the conduct adopted by him towards myself. 1 ought to apologize to your Lordshipa for having so long occupied your attention, but I think it a duty incumbent upon a public man not to hesitate, when occasion requires, to state the principles which guided, - and the feelings which in - fluenced, his ptiblic conduct.—(Cheers ) Lord M9RLEY.—As some difference of opinion • ap peared to exist among the Membets of the late Adminis tration, ae to the line of conduct which a sense of honour' and consistency required they Should pursue, he tritsted . their Lordships would , excuse him as one of the longest adherents of the Right honourable Gentleman alluded to,' for occupying their attention fora few moments, whilst he sttated the grounds which influenced his conduct with regard to the present Admini stration. Different theories had existed at different times as to the. support which those individuals, selected by the Crown to conduct the affairs of the Country, ought to receive from that and the other House of Parlia ment. Some had maintained the doctrine that the acts of the .Government ought to undergo the most ,scrutinizing and severe opposition, Whilst ahem maintained a doctrine contrary in every respect. Without entering into those..doctrines, he thought lie might say, and in say- . itig so he believed he spoke the general sentiments of the country, that whether with reference to the external affairs of the country—whether with reference to the state of our do mestic affairs, whether with reference to the harassed state of the public mind, arrising out of the eveuts-of,the last twelve meths, or with reference (if it were not improper to advert to _it) to the protracted anxiety, to the moral courage, to the singleness of heart and -purpose mani fested in the highest quarter of the realm, there never was a period when a settled form of government was more . desirable than at the present period. Consider ing the line of policy likely to be adopted with re spect to the South American States, Greece, the Ronan Catholics and the Corn Question, the. Noble Lord did not think there was anything in the principles or probable conduct of the present Administration, which ought to prevent him from placing' the most implicit confidence in it. The mea sures too which had been adopted with respect to Portugal were in a course of completion, and were advancing towards coasuramation. He was sure the Noble Duke would ad here in every respect to the policy that induced this country to take such a part in the affairs 'Of Portugal, and although the Noble Duke might have as yet Withheld his opinion upon that subject ; it must be in the recolleetion of, their Lordships, • that in' August, 1826; he expressed the most candid, upen, and unequivocal approbation of the expedition to Porttigal.—( Hear, hear.)—Next - came the question of the South American States, and with respect to those, the Noble Duke, now at the head of his Majesty's Government, had declared that the moment o f th e i r recognition was. 'propitious and well-selected. It was true that the Noble Duke,' in 'allusion to Greece, said that there wits some dif ference between the Protocol - and the late treaty, but he also added that the difference was one which might be reconciled. The Noble Lord after referring to the Noble Duke's senti ' ments on the Sallie question, said that his Grace had inti mated the Noble Lord would use the word " intimate," because the expression of the Aoble Duke would not- per haps warrant him its applying to •it a stronger term. - But certainly the Noble. Duke bad intimated, that with re spect to the Catholic Question, lie would 'preserve the strictest neutrality ; that the patronage of the Go vetuntent would be equally and impartially distributed ; and that recantations against the Roman Catholics would be no longer desired from members of certain learned profes sions, as a recommendation to the favours of the Crown. 'ln those consisted the most valuable parts of Mr. Canning's po licy, it IVO " therefore evident that there would be a perfect adherence to his principles. The friends of the Roman Catholics, therefore, need not apprehend than any undue in fitience would be exerted purposely to injure their cause.— The, Noble Lord would not enter into the considera tion, of how far private or personal feelings might re gulate public conduct, because such an inquiry was in the present instance unnecessary, lie might grant the duty of friends and adherents to preserve e ntire and unmitigated the most ancient and inveterate aninto %Ay. But witheut upholding an anti-social doctrine, be would say that feeling did not apply here ; there was not that . • hostility in the present case, which could, in a fair point of view, prey cut the friends of the late Mr. Canning from entering into a Cabinet, over :vhich the Noble Duke pre sided. The Noble Lord concluded by alluding to the se veral instances us which Mr. Canning had co-operated with that .Noble Duke. . The House then adiourned to Thursday.

SEYMOUR presented a petition from Wlool wood, in the county of Somerset, praying • for' the Repeal of the Test ACts.. SiMilar petitions were presented from Chichelter, Bury St. Edmunds, Honiton (in York), Alwortb, South Hereford, and Markham. Mr. CRADDOCK presented a petition from the Catholic inhabitants of Kihnurry, praying for 'un qualified Emancipation. • Mr. HUME, in presenting to the House three petitions from the Roinan Catholic Inhabitants of Kilbride, Tetnplefort, and Killick-bride, .praying To be relieved from the lawS by which they are oppri ed, said that in one of those parishes there was nita single individual of th eEstablishedChurch residing,and yet the Catholic inhabitants were rated by the vestry of which they were not eligible as members; They had no voice in the rates or the expenditure, and yet they were assessed for building Churches in a parish in which there were no Protestant inhabitattts. This was a most serious grievance, and he hoked the House would entirely repeal that Act. was perfectly aware of the state of irritation! in which Ireland was at the present time, and on Thursday he would enter more iiito detail upon c.he subject, when presenting a petition which had been ,entrusted to him, signed by thousands of most ,re spectable individuals. The House of Commons would be surprised to hear the extent of tyratiny and oppression to which they were exposed. The time of the House was wasted on questions of 'faith and belief, while the material concerns of the nation were neglected. Every evening until seven o'cloek, .the .House was occupied in receiving Petitions from one class - Or another of religionists praying for relief, while the Estimates were voted away .with little oh, nervation. The duty of a Government was to make the people happy and contented, and-promote union throughout the country, which .vould only be done by removing disabilities. Sir JOHN BRIDGES said, that much of the time of the House might be saved, if lion. Mein hers would present their petitions without makihg an harangue on the occasion. Mr. CALCRAFT said, that he thought it a most useful practice of Hon. Members to harangue the House when presenting petitions, and he - thought the speech of his lion. Friend (Mr. Hume) was, a most excellent harangue. The public should feel indebted to him for arresting the attention of the House on such an important occasion. Sir JOHN 'NEWPORT complained of the grievous abuses which existed in Ireland, abuses which would con tinue until the Parliament of this country interfered. Mr. WALLACE said, the population of Ireland lvas 'in a 'state Of ferment, and it was most important that sortie thing 'should he done to take off the pressure which NM occasioned so much bitter feeling. When he heard it laid dawn as au axiom that Hon. Gents. should present petitions on the most important subjects in silence, be (Mr. Wit lace) could not avoid expressing his hope that iu season and out of season; every Member who felt interested in the af fairs of Ireland, would press the claims of that country on the attention of the House. The Hon. MEMBER who objected to Mr. HUllle'S language, explained. — Lord MILTON said that if the presentation of so many petitions was an evil, the way to remedy that evil would be to re►iiove the groundi of it. The petitions were then brought up and laid on the table. TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. Mr. HUME said, he had now petitions to present from ;mother -class of his Majesty's subjects, who conceived themselves. aggrieved, though, in his opinion, their grievances were not of so oppressive a nature as those which the Roman Catholics suffered under. A great grievance, however, existed, and be hoped would meet the favourable consideration of the Right Hon. Gent. (Mr. Peel), who stated last night that the Duke of Wellington's government IVJS to be liberal. The Hon. Gent. conclud ed by presenting petitions f'ron► Ashby in Norfolk, Low ick in Northumberland, Ousdale in Northamptonshire, and Bar ton Mills, in the comity of Suffolk, for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Act•. Laid on the table. .STAMP AND RECEIPT TAXES. Mr. HUME • then rose to present petitions from Brecon for the repeal of the 2d. and 6d. Receipt Stamp tax. The - Hon. Member also presented petitions against the Insurance Tax, which was a tax, he thought, on prudence; and the inventory tax, which was one of a most oppressive character, for after an unfortunate -man's death every arti•- cle of his clothes down to the night cap he died in, and his old shoes, were valued, in order that they might be taxed.= Now, it one sinecure was done away with, or a regiment disbanded, the country would be saved from all the op pressions which they suffered under. those taxes.. Mr. BRIGHT thought the receipt tax scarcely less orpie.sive than the salt tax, He was sorry to see that the Stamp Office were more rigorous in enforcing it than formerly, and the consequence was, that the country called loudly for its repeal. Mr. SYKES said the town he represented was full of informers which the Stamp Office 'actually advertised for, and the consequence was all conOdence in business was at an end. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said; th a t th e rapacity of the Government in levying the receipt tax, rendered it niost oppressive. After a few words from Sir M. W. Ridley and Mr. Wrburtou, Mr. BARING said, that without offering any opinion as to whether the tax was. , good .bad, he thought Go , vernment was bound to levy itiigorously, for if it was not levied with rigour, it woulttfall unequally. As to infor:. niers they Were useful persons, 'and were sometimes neces sary to carry the law into effect. The petitions were then laid on the table, Mr. HUME moved for returns of the number of Ex chequer Bills issued within the last two-years.--Ordered. • 3 lr HUME moved for the names of the Magistrates in Ireland to whom the Statutes were supplied within the last 10 years, PEEL did not object to the motion, but hoped (Peel) of i the. Hon. Member (Mr. Hume) would bring the expense of printi ng R eturns b e f ore t h e Fi n ance Com m i ttee, as h e 11 thought gh ep t x tl e i n ere ditu m re ig . ht be a great re d uct i on i n thisl r. branch Mr. MABERLY suggested that such returns as were obviously likely to be called for, should be printed before the •commencement of the Session, and put in the hands of Members. Mr. PEEL observed, that there could be no objection on the part of Government to give any documents called for, but he must say, that it was impossible to'anticipate such accounts as were sometimes moved for by Hon. Members. For instance, there were five - Volumes of- papers tha table that evenings which had been made up with treat labour. One of those returns contained the Christian and surnames of all persons who had filed affidavits of debt in :•London, Middlesex, and Surrey, within the last two years . and a half. He,could hardly _think that such minute detail was necessary, but he was certain such returns were made at a vast deal of expense to the public Mr. litnup: defended the necessity of ,those returns. They were called for with the view of forcing a subject to which they referred on the attention of Government,- . ---he meant the law of debtor and creditor. From the returns on the table, it appeared that not less than 70,000 .persom - had - been arrested, in and about Loudon, in the last two years and a half. The law expenses of these Were not less than 500,000/. It appearltd that several attornies in Lon don-made a practice of buying up small bills for the pose of suing the endorsers, and not unfrequently six or seven, or sometimes ten, actions were brought on one bill. One house alone had brought 500 actions for debt in that. way in the time to which the returns referred, and Innit of them under 201. After a few other remark from the Hon. Member, he suggested, that to prevent the productirin of papers already before the House, a person should be em ployed in the Treasury, to Whom a Member about to move for returns should apply, in order to learn Whether they were not already before the Honse. This would save much labour in the public offices, and much expense to the country. The motion was then put, and the accounts ordered. On a motion/11)r the production of some other papers, the subject last mentioned was cotointted; in a conversa tion, in which Mr. PEEL, Mr. DIABERLY' s Mr. Hume, Col. Davies, Mr. CALCRAFT, and Lord HOVVICK took a part,—Mr. PEEL thought the suggestion of the Hon. Mem ber fin. Montrost a good one; but observed, that a person employed as he suggested, should be in the library and not 'the Treasury. Mr. AIABERLY also approved of the sug; gestion, and observed that the keeping of an index to the papers would be very useful. Colonel DAVIES and Lord Flowtex complained of the multiplication of expence by printing hundred's of petitions, most of which were in the same Words, and all of the same tenour. Mr. CALERAFT added, that he moved for the printing of petitions, as they were not read now as they used to be. TEST ACTS. Petitions for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts were presented, from the Protestant Dissenters of Oxendon street-chapel, from a chapel in Stepney, from a Baptist chapel in Saffron Walden, and another chapel in Worship street ; from Blakeney, Great Yarmouth, and another place. They were ordered to lie on the table. On the motion of Mr. PROT/LER - OE (we believe), an ac count was ordered of the net produce of the sale of copies of the Reports of Public Records, the number of copies sold, and the expenee of printing 'each, and the general ex pence of the commission. A message from the Lords requested a copy of the third report of the Emigration Committee, with the evidence and append ix. —Ordered . Mr. W. PEEL presented a Report from the visiting Magistrates of the prisons of Middlesex.—Ordered to be printed. Mr: -KNOX presented a petition from the Roman Ca tholic inhabitants of the parish of Donoughtnore, in Ire land, praying for emancipation. Mr. PONSONBY presented two petitions from the Roman Catholic • inhabitants' of two pariShes in Queen's county, against the Sub-letting Act. Mr. BOYLE presented eleven petitions from diffeeent parishes in the county of Cork, prayiug for emancipation. Similar petitions were presented by Sir M. W. iIII,LKY, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; by Mr. Alderman ATKINS, from Arundel; by Mr. N. CALvear, from Sawbridge worth and Ware, in Hertfordshire; by Mr. EASTIIOPE, from Kingsland, in Middlesex, Watford, in T.Tertfordshire, and Sheffield, in Yorkshire ; by Mr. LIInLEY, from a parish in th© county of Nottingham; by Mr. WILBRAHAM, from Nantwich ; by Mr. Alderman WAITIIZIAN, from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight ; by Mr. 'WARBURTON, from Bridport and London -; by Mr. J. MARTIN, fnim Acton, in Middlesex ; by IW. SLANEY, from a place'• in Slump' shire ; and by Colonel DAviis, from a congrigation in Westminster. • Sir 111. W. RIMY presented a petition faun New castle-upon-Tyne, praying for the repeal of the duty on stamp receipts. PROCEEDINGS IN THE ECCLESIASTICAL • COURTS. Mr. N. CALVERT preSented a petition from Mr. M• Bourgoyne, churchwarden of Sutton, in Bedfordshire, on behalf of the other inhabitants of the parish, Setting forth that a clergyman, named Fiee, was presented to the living some years since, whose conduct had been so notoriously profligate, that the church was as much deserted as if the population of the village had passed away. The congrege- Lien at present consisted of only an old woman and three or four children. The petition further stated, that proceed ings had been instituted against him in the Ecclesiastical Court, which had been pending many years, and had oc— casioned enormous expense, and concluded with ptaying that the' House would adopt some means of shortening the duration and lessening the expense of suits in that Cburt.. After a few words from Mr. PEEL and the ATIOKNEY "GiNIitAL, the petitiOn was ordered to lie on the Table. THE SUB-LETTING ACT. Mr. RICE presented two petitions from certain Roman Catholics of Limerick, praying for the repeal of the above named Act. The lion. Member did not approve of the prayer of the petitions. • Mr. V. STUART presented a similar petition from cer tain persons in the comity of Waterford. He also was ad verse to the prayer of the petition. Mr. BROWNLOW agreed with the Hon. Member for Linierick,that though be Was not the author of the Sub-let ting Act, any n.;:a" might be proud of having framed it. He concurred with his Noble Friend in thinking that it was absolutely necessary for the sake of the Irish peasantry themselves, to put an end to the endless sub-letting of farms which took place among them. _ Sir H. PARNELL was one of those Members who had assisted in passing this Bill - through the House. He Amsted that when the pea-santry, of Ireland saw the, una nimous feelings of the Irish Members in favour of this Bill, they would abandon the objections which they now felt against it, Mr. GRATTAN did not complain, nor could any body, of the principle on which the Bill was founded, but he thought that the operation of the Bill-might undergo con siderable amendment. Mr. G. MOORE thought it too tnitch to attribute the evils Of Ireland, with its overgrown unemployed popula tion, to the operation of this Act. General HART was tinxious to lend his upport to any measure that could improve the condition of Ireland. • Mr. WALLACE thought that several provisions in the present act were objectionable, and calculated to produce great inconvenience to the occupiers of leasehold property. The intention of the act was to put some restraint on the minute sub-division of small farms; but the fact was, that it applied to all leasehold property to whatever amount. Mr. L. FORSTER considered the subject entitled to much consideration. Mr. W. LAMB, in reply, said that the general policy of this act, and the extent of the evils against which it had been directed, had been fully and ably pointed out. Never had an act been more unanimously or more decidedly called , for. He knew this law had produced a certain degree of popular outcry in Ireland, but although the Legislatiire would not yield to violent language and intemperate con duct, yet equally far would thy be from, on that account, refusing to amend any unfavourable operation in the appli cation of a new act.—(Hear.) The petition was then brought up, and laid on the table.. Sir H. PARNELL postponed until Thursday next his motion respecting the Treaty of Limerick. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that on Monday next, iu the Counnittee of Sup ply, a Right lion. Friend of -his would propose the Navy Estimates. Mr. PEEL g;mve uotice, that on Thursday next he would submit a motion upon the state of the police of the Metro polis and its vicinity.—(Hear,.hear.) PAUPER LUNATICS. Mr. R. GORDON rose to move for leave to bring Bill, in pursuance of the recommendation of the Com mittee of last Session, on Pauper Lunatics and Lunatic Asylums. lie had, in a former stage of this inquiry, stated the great incenvebiente which arm, both with re gard to the facility of imprisoning individuals under the false pretence of insanity and for interested motives, and the difficulties attending their s ubkquent removal. Of the too great facility of obtaining what were called medical certifi cates, theme was abundant evidence. The only proviiien of the law, to prevent false . imprisonment under the plea. of insanity, was, that the keeper of the alsylunt was bound to receive the certificate o f a physician,surgeon, or apot heca p -, which last designation was - , in practice, interpreted ttolll7 elude a vender of drugs ,-_arty druggist, or 'chyrnis , any apprentice just released one day from his servitude, was compe t e nt to sign his name t o a p a per, which`bathe legal effect of consigning any fellow creature to a madhouse. --(Hear, hear, h e a r .)—So that any unfo rtunate p erson who might be suffering under the tem p orar y delirium of a fever, or the partial in sanit y of o p ium, was liable to b e t rans f erre d to a lunatic asy lum upon a eer tificate so obtained. Upon all sides, the improper facility of obtaining those certificates was allowed, and an altera.i tion imperatively called for. He Wished in. the nett place to call the attention of the House to the wanner in which h o f o l o b i ti e et y individuals wife treated in the neighbourhood of the naetro-' . . polis - after their entrance into these asylutaa woad suppose a pauper patient transferred from assistance of -half tine lunatic e h a .oa r r E : e i e lsii t v :s ap i ps h i Miles, Srias that the'visits of 'his friends mast be rare. chance there was' s of which his unattainable. He would take this pauper ,-to the Wbit.;e:- t, a reign i p i t t Warburton rl t rtee ct n oo;, nta h h, aedh:empttel curative u. er e nrot 6ap c . toa cart g 3: r lw) e nri t Gedi v a r tesi ns before the committee on that point; and there they would find that no attempt whatever at curative protests of this mental malady was observable: If none; then,.existed frirtlie Mental malady,' what chance was there of haVing • proper =bodily treatment? - No care whatever, he asserted, could be found : to four hundred patients only one medical attendant was assigned, and he- (Mr.-Dunstan) only at tended' on alternate' days ;, and • he admitted that at- 'the same time he attended another asylum, and had a fair Aare of private patients. Out of these 400, only eight wtte found under medical treatment. Nowinsanity was kntiwn to be a disorder Capable of medical cure, but here they found that the patients underwent neither mental nor bo• dily treatment. There was .among them no attempt a t proper classification : their diet was likewise imperfect; that, in point of fact, the only advantage they derived was safe custody. He would suppose this pauper patient,. int what was called the class of crib-room patients, and'lbere • he was placed in a box six feet long; with some straw, his knees and legs chained down, and in that state left all night- without assistance. In one room there were 16 patients so confined ;—h e w as w rong , he had been taunt inglycontradietedat the former time when he. had Made that assertion,.-there were only 15 proved to have been in this manner stowed away in a room 26 feet long, thus left insensible to the calls of nature, and wallowing in a condi tion too revoltin g to deseribe.—(Hear, hear.) This w as not the case Bethlem and St., Luke's: there the patients Were carefully attenled, and placed in separate cells... In the former condition were the wretched patients ditrinithe night of a Week day, but what was the - state of the pauper patient on a Sunday ? . " Even Sunday shone no Sabbath-day for him." From the Saturday night until the Monday morning were these , htipleirs persons left 'to wallow in this revolting con --Mr. Warburton had:attempted to contradict this description, but the Committee, after first hearing, as it were, the evidence for the prosecution, had heard all Mr. Warburton's own people, and the result was, the statement of the horrid treatment was not disproved, but fully con firmed. What was done with these poor objects on the Alonday morning? They were mopped in pails of water, often M. se-inter floating with ice, with ou t re f erence t o their bodily xeealth, or different and conflicting conditions of suffering. There was another room, called the infir mary, the horrors of which he could not describe, and the particulars, as detailed in the report, were in the highest degree offensive. Mr. Hall, who had entered it, could hardly breathe, from the noxious state of the atmosphere. It was right he should state, that in the opinion of the phy sicians who had been examined before the Committee, Mr. Warburton's asylum was entitled to be considered, as as good, if not better than, the other places for a similar use, in the neighbourhood of London. So it o ught to he taken as a fair sample of the kind of treat ment to which pauper lunatics were exposed. He would say nothing of it but what was confirmed by the examination of its own people. Of the medical treat ment he had. already in part spoken. It appeared that Mr. Warburton merely attended twice a week, and had himself admitted, that though he knew more of the care of mad ness than any other person, he had not time to investigate. the numerous cases thus submitted to his charge. Before the Committee they had had the testimony of a Mr. Cordell, the assistaut of I.llr. Dunstan. He was asked how lie could describe himeslf as giving an efficient assist ance, when he only called occasionally. "0, but," said he, " we have a perfect register, a pattern for medical example, a large folio -volume kept for the last six or seven years, in which We cars regularly trace every patient's eve, and every prescription." Would the House believe that in this Statement there was sot one word of truth.--( Heal, hear.)—The Committee sent to Mr, Dunstan's -for this folio volume, and found that no such book was kept: Mr. Dunstan was called, and knew nothing of it. Mr. Cordell, on being agairobrought before the Committee, was asked, " Are we to understand that all you have said to us is correct ?"—" Yes, very probably. "__(A laugh.)—" Is the story of the- book ?"—. No." " Which are we to believe—what you have to-day told us, 'or your pre vious statement Take your choice. "—(A laugh. )—lle then admitted that it was all false. The - Committee at length severely reprimanded this person; but as the repri mand was not inverted in the printed minutes t :he feared the conduct of the individual had not received the public. reprobation which it deserved. It was said that Mr. Cor dcll Waft removed from hii attendance at Mr. Warburton e, but'the revere proved the fact, for upon a recent inquest. upon a patient, this same person was stilt-found in attend ance. But after leaving the patient iu this asylum, the Committee inquited into the meaning of a certain expen diture, 'under the head of sick stores. This was explained by-the people ol . Warburton's infirmary, to 'mean sago, arrow -root, wine, &c.. for the use of the patients. The Cominittee asked to see bills for the payment of thiSe luxu ries. Mr. Warburton's people had no bills, for he always pail cash, and the entry was called " sundri e s."—(A laugh.).—lt was quite clear that from the absence of all books, or iithei documents, that the statement was un true, or grossly exaggerated. Having described the int - perfection of, the medical . certificates, and the improper treatment, he now cesne to the time, wh en, by the inter position of divine Providence , the recovered patient was to be reeadmitted into society. i t was singular that he knew noof process by which a party so placed cou ld recover hi s if the intereet'of the keeper, or of th e comm i tt i ng party, ran counter to such a liberati on . T o ta lk, o f a writ of habeas corpus was to offer an expensive, laborious, and impracticable proce ss for a person so liberty, placed. fie ought to state that by law there were, in the - metropolis; five physicianse who were empow e r e d t o v i s i t and keep a re gister of the proceedings of these asylums. This duty was, he regretted to say, very imperfectly performed, for palpa ble abuses had not been adequately reported. The Hon. Member here alluded to the case of a Mrs. Pettingel (if we caught the name rightly), who had been declared con valescent in a,partieular asylum, from May, 1825, until the present time, and yet was not discharged. She sea s returned sane on the books, but Dr. Bright said, her husband refused to take her away, because, he said, " she was troublesome woman, and ought' not to N-htitinlibbeerr,tyt. (Much laughter.) Upon finding, :at this female was so detain e d, h e in formedlhaas Dr. Bright that if her removal were not at once accomplished, he (Mr. Gordon) would issue a writ of habeas corpus for that purpose, at his own expense. Not withstanding this interference, lie was unable to obtain her deliverance until four or five days before the meeting of Parliament. Now, what was• the remedy which the l a w had at present provided to meet such evils ? It was the licensing of the five physicians, who were directed to visit the asylums once a -year,. and place their report i n the cen sors'. room of the College of Physicians. Now this provi sion had, he believed, been discontinued since 1800.--- They had in fact, done nothing to remedy the- existing abuses. The Hon. Member here again referred to- the Reports which had been made of the noxious .aod disorderly condition of some of - these asylums, the state of laceration, privation, and band-cuffing, which were perpetrated ill many of thern,_and inquired why the visiting magistrates had failed to call upon the Secretary of State for new aid, it' the existing provisions of law did not arm them with.sufficient power to abate the evil: He for 'legislative interpos in ti s i u e e n (t a lie el a s r,' to 6 b ar e ' ran h k e e a d r.) io the these phii4n t helpless hrlp i ts._ beings, (H e a a n r d , cared e . ) State, and four Under thmtglit he had now. e xualee.,out a, sufficient case to call claimed protection p f s e e : d i A n s vi t d o io ,t u s s e not, while employed could not avoid noticing a splendid Bcliasllswhoifeh he meant to introduce, he could only say, that it had been thought acceptable by two.
