HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 2. The Archbishop of YORK presented petitions from the Archdeaconry and Clergy of Nottingham, and from the Clergy of the town and neighbourhood of She!held, against further concession to the Catholics. Lord GODERICII presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of Etherington and Sidney' Bransby, Yorkshire, praying to be relieved from their civil disabilities. Also a petition from Knareslanrough, against further concession to the Catholics. The Noble Viscount also presented a petition from the Mayor, aldermen, Sheriffs, Masters, and Journey men Weavers, of Norwich. This was a petition from a class of persons whose condition had frequently excite:l attention, and whose conduct, as well as the vicissitudes to which they were exposed, had at all times entitled them to the consideration of the House. This observation applied w the majority of the petitioners : and the purport of their prayer was, that a law might be passed providinf.; that in all cases where the majority of masters and workmen consented to a certain rate of wages, such agreement, during the time it was to exist, should be binding on the minority of both parties. The Noble Viscount, in consenting to present this peti tion, stated to the petitioners that he could not undertake to support their prayer, apprehensive that if such a law was passed, the effect would be contrary fo what the pe titioners expected. At the same time, as Ole petition was signed by a great many respectable people, he had no hesitation in presenting it, confident that it would meet the serious attention of the House. Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from the carpet weavers of Kidderminster, praying that the House would interfere to settle their rate of wages, there being a com plete variance between the manufacturers of that town. The Noble Lord postponed his motion for Monday, to enquire into the state of the agricultural labourers of Eng- land and Wales. The Duke of BEAUFORT presented petitions from Ministers and Protestant Dissenters iu various parts of Brecknockshire, and also of Bristol, against farther cotton-. siona to the Catholics. The Duke of GORDON presented a petition from the medical gentlemen of Aberdeen, praying their Lordships to adopt measures to facilitate dissection. Earl SPENCER presented a petition from the Catholics of a parish in Lancashire, in favour of their claims. Also, a petition from the Unitarians of Northampton, praying for the removal of all religious disabilities. Lord RADNOR presented a petition from Windsor in favour of the Catholic Claims. Lord KING presented petitions from the Catholics of a parish near Warrington, and from Boston, Horsham, Car lisle, Yarmouth, and Morpeth, in favour of the Roman Catholics. The Marquis of CLEVELAND presented a petitioa from a numerous body in the county of Durham, against the importation of lead ore. Lord DARNLEY presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of Canterbury, praying for the removal of all their disabilities. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition from the Catholics of Worksop to the same effect. Lord CARNARVON presented a petition from Iderts to the same effect. Lord YARBOROUGH presented a petition from the Governors of the Lunatic Asylum at Lincoln, praying that they might be exempt from the operation of the Act. The Noble Lord also presented several petitions from Landowners in different parts of the country, praying for a protecting duty upon corn. Earl GREY, in presenting a petition from the President and College of Physicians in London, praying that the im pediments now thrown in the way of procuring subjects for dissection might be removed, expressed his opinion that the object of the petitioners was not likely to be attained by discussion either in that House or elsewhere. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a similar petition. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Mr. Linnet, Mr. CARTWRIGHT, and others, from the Commons, brought up some private Bills, which were subsequently read a first time. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Humber Navigation Bill, and the Lincoln Improving Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Cards and Dice Duties Reduction Bill was read a second time. On the motion of the Marquis of SALISBURY, the Heuse resolved itself iato a Committee on the Sale of Game Bill. 'I he Earl of MALMEgBURY made some observations which were inaudible below the bar. The Marquis of SALISBURY said, if he understood the Noble Earl rightly, he did not object to that part of the Bill which related to the sale of game. The Earl of MALMESBURY did not object to that part as an ox . pariment, although he felt that it was an errone. ous notion that legalizing the sale of game would diminish poaching. Upon a former occasion, he was informed that this measure, was intended merely as an experiment, and that it was to continue in operation fur but two years, but he now found that the Bill had assumed a new appear ance he therefore felt it a duty to dissent from it in Coto. Lord SUFFIELD hoped that, as he had hitherto ab stained from addressing their Lordships on the subject of the present Bill, he would be pardoned for offering a few observations upon it. He rejoiced that lie had been no party to the present Bill now before the House, because had he been engaged in framing it, he would have recommended the adoption of some more general repeal than the Bill now comprehended. He also rejoiced that he was no partner to it, because it enabled him to give .the Noble Lords under whose anspicee it was brought forward that applause to which they were so justly entitled. Although the Bill did not go so far as he could wish, it was still a matter for congratulation that it gave up that exclusive system, which was the main evil in all the Game Laws, and had entailed so great a weight of public odium upon them. This was sufficiently proved by the reluctance on the part of juries to convict persons ac cused of poaching, or drawee consequent upon it. As a proof of which he would instance the case of a poor man residing in his neighbourhood, who, whilst encountering two poachers, had his brains literally kicked out; and yet those persons, apon some pretence or other, were .ac quitted of the crime of murder. It was not for him to say whether wilful murder was actually committed by the parties ; but it esemed to point out to him the extreme reluctance which existed in the minds of a jury to convict persons under suck circumstances. He considered, there fore, that the voluntary surrender of that exclusive privi lege, emanating as it (lid in that house, which composed, he might say, the only aristocratic power in the country, would reflect the greatest honour upon the Noble Lords themselves. Lord REDESDALE said, that the Game Laws were originally intended as police laws, for that formerly large tracts of country were infested by banditti, such as Robin Hood ; and these laws were enacted only for the pur pose of putting then down. The state of the ::ountry was at present in a very different condition—and it was, there fore, proper that the law should he altered. With respect to the sale of game, it was acknowledged on all hands that it could not he prevented ; and it was, therefore, ridicalous to establish laws to prohibit it. Lord SUFFIELD said, that the Act had been passed in the reign of Richard the Second,—" for the better rep : , lation of his Majesty's subjects, and for the purpose of send ing them to Church." It was, in fact, a political ma meuvre for tL.e purpose of disarming the people. The motion was then put, and the House resolved itself into it Committee for the re-commitment of the Bill. laws at all—for though it might be borne by the people to see the landed proprietors take their sport unmolested, when that sport was turned into profit and trade, they certainly would not submit to it. Lord MALMESBURY was confident many of their Lordships as well as of the publie, thought that poaching was caused by the present Game Laws ; but on that point the Committee did not go far enough in their inquiries. It had been said that the number of commitments under these laws had lately increased ; this was not the fact. As to the word Esquire introduced into the Bill, he did not understand its meaning. There was no legal definition of the word. The clause giving a right to kill game to occu piers of ten acres was open to the same objection as the qualification of 1001. It would create frequent litigation. The old qualification of 1001. ought to be now raised to SOU, when the difference in the value of money wascon sidered. In the case of several persons concerned in a commonalty, , how would the proposed qualification operate? Lord WIARNCLIFFE.--In such a case, every person concerned in that common land has a right to shoot as far as that land extends. Lord MALMESBURY continued.—The sale of gauge was notorious ; and even after the passing of this Bill, poulterers would continue ta purchase game of poachers, as from such they could still get it cheaper. This Bill would, he was sure, create a new race of poachers, turn the minds of tenants to illegal practices, and destroy their habits of industry. Lord CALTHORPE was of opinion, that the evidence taken before the Committee was conclusive as to the neces sity of passing the present Bill. On the first clause being put, Lord MALAIESBURY divided the House. For the Clause 33 Against it ... 18 Majority —l5 On the Clause exempting persons hunting and , coursing from the penalties against trespassers, The Earl of MALMESBURY stated his intention to oppose this clause. He had no strong objection to exempt persona hunting, but not persons coursing. Lord WHARNCLIFFE could see no ground for a dis tinction between persons hunting and coursing. Their Lordships then divided on the clause— Contents 26 Non-contents lB. The Report was ordered to be brought up on Tuesday, and the House resumed. The second reading of the Night Poaching Bill was put off till Tuesday. Lord CARNARVON moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the expellees of bringing up evidence on the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill.— Agreed to. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition, signed by the Preses of the Senatus Academicus of Edin burgh, complaining of the difficulty of obtaining a suffi cient supply of anatomical subjects. Their Lordships then proceeded to hear evidence in sup port of the Penryn Disfranchisement Bill, until half-past Ten o'clock, when they adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 2. The SPEA - YER took the Chair precisely at four o'clock. Sir WM. GUISE brought up the Report on the Bris tol and Gloucester Railway.—Laid on the table. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Enfield, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented four petitions, (one from the Magistrates of Buckingham, and three from parishes in Ireland), against any further concessions to the Catholics. Mr. LANGS fON presented a petition from the Cor poration of the City of Oxford, against further conces sions to the Catholics. Mr. CAREW presented several petitions from the Ro man Catholics of several parishes in Ireland, praying for the repeal of the Sub-letting Act, and also of the Vestry Act. Sir E. HARVEY presented a petition from the Magis trates and Inhabitants of Saffron Walden, against the Li censing Ale Houses Bill. Lord BINGIIAAI presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of certain parishes in the county of Mayo, in fa vour of the Catholic Claims. Mr. LIGON presented a petition from Kidderminster, praying that no tax might be imposed on the importation of foreign wool. Sir T. ACLAND presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of Chudleigh in favour of the Catholic Claims. Colonel IMEWER presented a similar petition from parishes in Donegal and Carlow. Sir J. OWEN presented a petition from certain inhabi tants of Flintahire, against any further oencesaions to the Catholics. Sir J. OWEN also presented petitions from several Friendly Societies, in Flintahire, against the Friendly So cieties Bill. Sir J. OWEN presented a petition from the merchants, owners ofland, and other persons residing at Van Dieman's Land, praying for a Legislative Assembly. Mr. MOORE presented a petition from the Protestants of the City of Dublin, against any further concession to the Catholics. Mr. GRATTAN said, that the inhabitants of Dublin were generally favourable to the Catholic Claims. Mr. MOORE said, that he was sure if his Hon. Col league laid his hand upon his heart, he would feel convinced that the great mass of the respectable Protestants of Dublin concurred in the sentiments expressed in the petition. The petition was then laid on the table. Sir R. W. VAUGHAN presented a petition from a parish in Wales against any farther concession to the Ca tholics. •Mr. BENETT presented a petition from the licensed victuallers residing in the town of Trowbi idge, in Wilt shire, praying that they might be relieved from the ex pence of maintaining soldiers. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from Martin Sta pleton, Esq., of Yorkshire, relative to the regula tions in Horsham gaol. The petitioner stated that he was informed that a weekly allowance was made to the prisoners in that gaol out of a charitable fund, which some humane person or persons had subscribed for that purpose. Owing to the grievances under which the prisoners considered ,that they laboured, they petitioned the House of Commons, and in consequence of their having so petitioned they have alleged that this charitable allowance was reduced, and they were now in a state approaching to starvation. Upon receiving this petition from Mr. St.t pleton, he (Mr. Sykes) told him that he would present it to the House of Commons, but without at all pledging himself to the truth of what the petition stated. He also informed the County Members for Sussex that he had such a petition, and he trusted they would be prepared to give every explanation upon the subject. He did not pledge himself that what was stated was true, but be would assert that ii it was true that any such allowance was denied to the prisoners upon the ground of their having sent a petition to that House, that a mon strous and intolerant g r i e vance bad been committed, a gross act of injustice had been perpetrated against those prisoners. He bad in his possession the letters to Air. Stapleton, in which those grievances were d e t a il e d . In one of them, from a person named John Gardiner, it is stated that the prisoners petitioned the Quar ter Sessions, and obtained no redress to th ose com plaints, and many of the prisoners were afraid of proceed. ing further ; but at length some of them petitioned that House, and had, in consequence their allowance reduced, and were now in a state borderiag en starvation. Rethought The Marquis of SALISBURY particularly objected to such a eOrllnleint as this deserved the attention of Parliament, the miesilieyous tendency of 419 9 PLe , :li ci she Noble Lord for if a charitable allowance was stopped for such reasons, (Suffield). . it was, to say the least of it, a most abominable piece of The Bill was then read clause by clause, and after some oppression. observations from Lords Snerteen, Alaeasesaurtas, Mr. CURTEIS said, that the fund out of which this WHARNCLIFFE, and REDESDALE, was agreed to. ie allowance was made was nearly exhausted; before this Lord WIIARNCLIFFE wished to put the Game Laws petition was presented the Mee tsates of Sussex appointed on such a footing as would enable the people to look up on a Committee to yisit the gaol, and he had no doubt that thelll in a different light to what they had been accustomed the report of this Committee would convince the public thought to do.

GURNEY said, that it would be extreO l i i i convenient that the words of an Act of Parliament sh ° ;) be susceptible of a clear and distinct interpretation, VT A he regretted was not the case with this Bill in some P*',.,4 as it came from the other House. The object of the originally was to relieve those Dissenters in whose he b o it was necessary to pass annually an Indemnity Act; b e d as the Bill came from the House of Lords, it was elool from a question between the Dissenters and the Church ° England to a question between the Church and Sti tt ' According to the act as it now stood, the moment change was proposed in any thing connected. with tW Church, in any of the ecclesiastical courts of Raglan' „ Ireland, the minister , who shonld vent ure t o make proposition would be told at once that he was a etiog be " violation of the declaration. if any attempts should made to explain that declaration away, we should barte as in the case of the coronation oa th,— an outcr y raj a s and pamphlets published by D iana o f Ch ester , an d o t h t o, very zealous dignitaries o f th e Ch urc h, complaining Oli,, infraction of the law, and o f th e violation of the Chivy"; rights and privil eges .

Gentleman (Mr. Peel) or sit 3 other member of the Government, w ou ld d e p en d whew" he should votefor their reception or rejection. Mr. PEEL did not admit the right of the Hon. *e: d . her to put any question to him for any amendments in the Bill in the other House of Parliament:', It O h , clear that the amendments did nothing for the Chor e , which was not done before. All th a t i t re quired °* " . 1 : 1 . that the party taking dike should declare that,, would not use the influence or authority of - his 0 to weaken, or injure, or disturb in its tights tor pry vileges, theiProtestant Church so declared to be pertaie nently established by law. There was no alteratO D made in the gill of any consequence, except that could 0 ,, so considered whi c h su b st i tute d t h e words "i n Englan 6' for the words "within this realm." The addition of d ie words, "I sincerely, in the presence of God, profess; testiQ' and declare upon the t rue f a ith o f a Ch r i st i an ," did Or make any material difference. He (Mr. Peel) was 0 !: willing to throw any difficulty in the way of parties makil the declaration, b u t h e did not t hi n k t h e a dditi on coo' raise any objection in the minds of the most scrupulous.' Any member of any Dissenting communion might sale scribe this declaration. If it was objected that the t wards, "in the presence of God," gave a religious sanctio° to' the declaration, he must say that it came badly Prod those who made no objection wh a t ever to taking oath s° allegiance and abjuration. The oath of allegiance 01/ :, "I do solemnly promise and swear to bear true ailego: to our Sovereign Lord the King, his heirs and succees ol- —So help me God." This oath w as un d er a religte, sanction, yet no objection was made. Neither w a s any to the oath of abjuration. It did not appear that any n ew at culty was placed by those am en d men t s i n the way parties who might be called upon to subscribe to 7, i4 d declaration. They gave to it a religious sanction, but t not alter the object contempl a t e d.

Member had drawn from them. Mr. H. GURNEY repeated his objection (as we under stood him) to the alteration in the Bill which took from the Crown the power of dispensing with the taking of th s oaths by Ministers of the Crown. Mr. PEEL said that the object of that part of the Bi l/ was, not to relieve Ministers or others in high officer was intended to apply to persons in subordinate situation* clerks, and others, in whose favour he could wish to we exemption from taking a declaration which he trusted would bind all who took it. The dispensing power of the Crown was not intended to apply to Ministers of the COO or others holding high offices. The oath did not apply t ° members of the legislature,—it was only to persons %Alt office, and in that view he did not s ee why t h e origins,„,"! proposed dispensing power should b e exten d e d by I"' Crown to its own servants. Mr. CROKER was sorry that the Bill had not cav e from the Lords in the same state in which it had gent from that House, and that such alterations had been Watt He had little doubt that when the Act of Indemnity if' i removed, this Bill would no t s tand, or, if it did, i t avow' require another act of indemnity. to accompany it; and h,_e o* was sure that the first busi n ess of the next sess i on wou ld either to repeal this, or to pass another act to relieve thus' affected by it from its pressure. Mr. W. SMITH did not think the objections of bi 9 Non. Friend (Mr. H. Gurney) at all tenable; fa t there was no doubt that whenever the Ministers of tJaa Crow° found it necessary to make any alteration in the discipline or government of the Church of England, it would be very easy for them to make the public believe that such chalg e t. was for the benefit of the country. This very a c : itself was an illustration of his argument, for it "; said, and very truly said, that this measure woul d strengthen that Church, and any other measure wh iib might bo proposed hereafter, with the same t e ndency ' wou ld be passed with as l i ttle, and he should hope wit", $ opposition. Thi s Bill was introduced to set at r e' , a question between th e Di ssenters an d t h e Churc h ot England, and as one of a numerous body of Dissenters he ' N aas :satisfied w i t h it. He could not refrain from bear i l 4 his testim ony evinced to the great liberality w hi c h had he° 0 4 the discussion of the Bill i n the o th e r no° 4, ill, the hi gh quarters to which he had alluded, and W sorry th a t any fast i d i ous o bj ections in other quarters had tendered to diminish the effect of that liberal feeling' With reflect to the Protestant Dissenters, he repeated declaration trade no difference ; and as to the Establish Church, be thought that the passing of the repeal of th e Aell would give it additional security and power. ed Lerd MANDEVILLE said he by no means concurr. in the amendments made by the other lionae, and if P e stood alone he would object to them : he thought the i v :: troductiun of the words " on the true faith of a Christiaoo highly objectionable. They meant nothing as they t h e , e l stood, and if the principle on which they were intrAuc,i, was worth any thing, it ought to have been carried 0 1 7 ,10 further, and some explanation given of what those w°_,, meant. He therefore would object to the amendiseeßre unless after the word " God," in the declaration, - should he inserted the words "the Father, Son, and P ° Ghost." Lord SANDON hoped the Noble Lord would not
