I). 13. ALLEN. It commenced with a rumbling noise like distant thunder, and continued incessantly for above twenty minutes. A solid body of grey rock adjacent to the Sandy Haven shore, and parallel to the sea opposite to the Stack Rock in Mil ford Harbour, was entirely rent asunder, and separated by the shock into a thousand pieces, throwing large masses of it to a considerable distance ; the adjacent rocks, and part of the hill, on which there was a thriving plantation of timber overhanging, were separated front the main land by this dreadful convulsion of nature, and several of the trees split and torn up by the roots. The noise was terrific, and heard for many miles around. A continued cracking noise is still heard in the rocks as of the breaking of dry s ticks. --Cambrian. SHOCKING CASE.—On the 23d of May, an inquest was held at the George Inn, Leek, on the body of EmsABETH NIXON, a young woman of considerable per sonal attractions, who had come to her death under very suspicious circumstances. Front the evidence brought be fore the Jury, it appeared that the deceased was in a state of pregnancy, and applied to a person named SMITH, 14 some mixture to procure a miscarriage. SMITH accord. ingly advised her what to purchase to effect the object. Tile dru gg i s t re f us i n g to supply her with th e ar ti c l e , s h e again applied to SMITH, who obtained it for her. It appears, that about noon, on the day of her death, she called at the house of a friend, and complained of illness : she after wards lay down on the bed, was very sick, and vomited. During the -Afternoon she became much worse : and about half-past seven o'clock, a surgeon was sent for, but when he arrived she was expiring. The following day, Mr. ROBINS, surgeon, with Mr. CHADWICK, and Mr. FLINT, made a post mortem examination of the body ; from which, together with the other evidence laid before the Jury, they Accorded a verdict—" Died from taking strong medicines to procure abortion."— Staffordshire Mfrrury: apd whol e l a nd s are at present under leases to substantial t 4; i ndustri o u s t e nants, reserving to the proprietor the , 41 and Glens of Copse Wood. 11„ ' L e present rental of the estate amounts to 261. stet . - per annum, and the public burdens are about 201. hr lands hold blench of the Prince, and afford a Free ,' Qualification upon the old extent.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Jura 9. Lord ELDON presented petitions from Paisley, Staf ford, Croydon, Maldon, Sibthorpe, and from Woombridge, Salop, against further concessions to the Catholics. Lord CARNARVON requested that the latter petition might be read at length, also some of the names of the petitioners. There was a singularity in it worthy the no tice of the House. The petitioners, as he was informed, expressed their dttertnination to support a religion settled at the Revolution. The petition was read, and Lord Eldon expressed his confidence that before this night's debate was over, he should be aisle to satisfy the House,that the original Eccle siastical Law of this country was restored and settled at the Revolution. The Noble Lord then presented a petition from Cavan, Ireland, against further concessions to the Catholics. The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented a petition fur the abolition of slavery throughout the Colonies; also a petition on the subject of Catholic Emancipation, which from some informality was withdrawn. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition froin the Royal Burgh of Down against further conces sions to the Catholics. The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition from Abergethly, praying the House to take into consideration the laws affecting the Catholics. The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE presented a petition front a great number of parishes in the counties Cavan, Down, and Antrim, praying for the repeal of the laws af fecting the Catholics. The Duke of RUTLAND presented a petition from a parish in Essex, against further concession to the Catholics. Petitions were also presented by Lords EXMOUTH, Loa • TON, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and the Bishop of LLANDA FE, against further concessions to the Catholics. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Newark, in favour• of the Catholic Claims. Earl GREY presented a petition from the Unitarian Chapel, Hanover-square, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to the same effect. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a petition from Worksop, praying fur assistance in building a Chapel. Sir A. GRANT and others, brought up the Bill with the amendments for improving the law of offences against the person. Upon the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE it was ordered to be printed. Lord CLIFDEN presented a petition from the Protes tants of Biston, Oxfordshire, in favour of the Catholic Claims. The Noble Lord observed, that from this pe tition it would appear that light was now breaking i❑ on all quarters. He hoped their Lordships' House would not be the last place on which it would strike, for if it were, their Lordships would be highly discredited.— (Great laughter.) The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition praying fur a repeal of the Laws affecting the Catholics. which a Right Rev. Prelate (a manner not easily to be for. gotten) laid down the principle on which he felt that the measure then before your Lordships (the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts) ought to be agreed to—that prin ciple was expediency alone, and, going farther, the Right 'Rev. Lord said, that seeing the expediency, it became the duty of your Lordships to act upon it. ' These, therefore, are the grounds upon which 1 am prepared to enter upon the discussion of thisportant question. This question is not a new question a Nensoch ac it has repeatedly, at different times, engaged 44 attention of the Legislature, not only in this, but in qruer Parliaments. It is not a new question, inasmuch as it hay at various times engaged the atteution, and excited the efforts, of almost every re markable and distinguished Statesman of this country, who almost all came to the same conclusion respect ing it, at which I trust your Lordships will ar rise. Almost every one of those eminent persons concurred in opinion, that the grounds for these restric tions had passed away. It has been also the dying ap pearance presented to them, when no longer influenced by the zeal or views of party—when about to he withdrawn from the active scenes of life—when, casting their looks forward to the future state of their country, they saw only the necessity and the certainty of those measures of con cession and security which, in their life-time, they had ad vocated. Su far, therefore, this is not a new question— but it has attached to it particulars which make it new— it is new from the circumstance that it comes before you now, for the third time, recommended to your considera tion by the proceedings taken respecting it by the other House of Parliament. My Lords, in the consideration of this question at the present moment, it is my intention to place out of view many of those important cousiderations which have been heretofore connected with it—many, be cause they have been previously exhausted in the various discussions upon the subject here and elsewhere—many, because they are by some considered to he irrelevant—and many, because they have been recently abaudened by the adversaries of the measure of which I am now the advocate; neither is it my intention to detain your Lordships with entering into those historical details, which, although so intrinsically mixed up with the question, may now be dis pensed with. It will be the purpose of my argument to night, to assume that which has been conceded by all the opponents of the measure, namely, that during the whole course of her existence, since the enactment of those laws of which she has so long and so bitterly complained, the hopes of Ireland have been kept alive—that she has anx iously looked for the arrival of that period when she should be admitted to the participation of those advantages, to a participation in which all free people ought to look; and that by those hopes, by that dependence on a sense of justice and of policy on the part of those from whom only she could expect relief, her patriotism has been maintained, and her exertions put forth in a manner equally important to a Government and to a country. I am also disposed to say but a few words upon another topic, because, some time ago, much importance was attached to it ; and it promised considerable impression not only on the minds of many Noble Lords, bat ou the mind of the Noble Duke himself. I allude to the argument that Ireland being a country in which most of the property was held by confiscation, it was requisite to deal with that country upon principles different to those by which any other country was dealt with. My Lords, I sus not surprised that this argument has not been reverted to during the recent discussions on the subject with which it is connected, because, since the former discussions which took place here and elsewhere, there have beets appointed Committees both of your Lord ships and of the other House of Parliament—Conuoitters of Inquiry into the state of Ireland. Aud from the evidence adduced before those Committees, with respect to confis cated property, there has been abundant proof to quiet all alarm, to satisfy this country that there is the strongest die position on the part of all the great iuterests of Ireland— Catholic as well as Protestant, and Protestant as well as Catholic—with or without the interference of this or of any other country, to permit no alteration of those changes which time has wrought. You have found it 'stated in evidence, and supported by that no possible danger can be appreluended from this source. You have been in formed, and you have been satisfied, that not only great capitalists, among the Catholics, but that Catholic Lawyers, and Catholic Merchants, have entered the market to com pete for the purchase of such property wherever it wae of fered for sale, and that Catholic Lawyers and Catholic Merchants have become the frequent purchasers of propel ty so circumstanced—of property devoted, according to the argument formerly used, to revert to those who were said to be its original owners. So touch inure did such Catho lics fear the terrors of the Court of Chancery than the ter rors of the Vatican—so much more necessary did they con sider it to be to consult their lawyers than to take Counsel of their confessor—that they took especial care to have their purchased rights acknowledged in that way whirls they knew could alone secure the possession of them. So little did they look for the arrival of that fortunate period when the ancient princes of Connaught and of Munster should come down from their niountAius to claim that church property which had been theirs in time of old, that they readily came forward to be the purchasers of such property, and to claim that security which they knew the law could alone give them. With these few observations, I dismiss this portion of the subject ; and I now ask your Lordships' attention to the considaretion of that part of the question which revectis the laws relating to Roman Catho lics in other countries, as well as to those which regard their state in this. Do not, my Lords, let us entertain an opinion so absurd as that there can be no means of govern ing Ireland, except by such laws as those which at present exist. Do not, my Lords, let it be supposed, that be cause those laws have exiated for one hundred, or for two hundred yeas, on your Statute Book, we are the less able to apply a new theory to circumstances al together new. Do not let those, who hold opinions adverse to those held by me, and such as argue with me, flatter themselves that, because they are wedded to a solitasy- spot in the Legislation of the country, the pro. spect around that spot upuu which they stand is not al tegether different. The very ground upon which they stand has been gradually giving way from beneath their feet, it is narrowing around them, and must soon cease to exist. We have now, my Lords, to deal with a state of things, I confidently affirm it, and I call upon any Noble Lord to contradict my affirmation, if he can—a state of things without example in the history of the civilized world—a state of things which would render it impossible that the Government of any conutry could be conducted with that energy which is necessary to its well-being—l had almost said to its very existence. My Lords, because there are e eetain wise expounders of Catholic principles, who see what Catholics will do in a state of things which is not, and what Catholics will not do in a state of things that exists--to such wise reasouers I earnestly recommend atten tion to a maxim which I have found inculcated in a very learned and excellent work—the work of the celebrated Dr. Milner —to which I refer with the greatest satiefac tint', because it is the work of an able man—a man im bued, of course, with particular principles, being within the pale of the Church of England—that church of which he was givin g an accoun t. Th a t a bl e an d acute contro versialist and divine, when describing some of those contro versial absurdities of the Armenieu and Calvinistic contro v sums up the whole of his argument in these few ' but emphatic words—" to neither party will I ilopute that which they themselves disavow." It; my Lords, he had not adhered to this rule—if, my Lords, he had not laid down this principle, as one from which he dared nut depart—he would have been utterly unable to have per formed the duty of the historian—he would have to tally failed to have given weight to his argument, and to have attached responsibility to his character. My Lords, if this rule was important in a Protestant contra versy, of equal importance is it in any other. No justice can be administered, no dependence on any statement can be placed, if we do not strictly adhere to this rule —not to impute to people that which they themselves di-avow. I must, therefore, invite your Lordships to look to the conduct of persona of the particular religious persuasion to which I am referring, as you would to those of any other religious persuasion in the world—and to try them by the same test, the only test by which, upon any principl e o f justice, you could t r y th e m. I will, therefore, now call your attention, as briefly,as-possible, to the present condi tion of those persoussWho profess the Roman Catholic reli gion, iii other parts of the world ; and I will go first to the United Stags of America. To the United Atates I will first go, not forgetting that that country is a Republic, and without any national Church Establishment, and bear ing in mind the two arguments that have been advanced against bringing this country forward in support of my view of the case, namely, that the Roman Catholics of that eountoy can have no interest in overturning one establish ment to place is its steed aeothei of their own, and that the Government cell apprehend no danger from Roman Catholics leading in their Ccuncils, when they have no in terests of their own to serve. My Lords, it is because of those very reasons that I conceive a Government might be suspicious of danger; and I fix upon thie particular country as one the most deserving of your attention, because of these very facts. I ground toy argument upon the evi dence adduced by the Archbishop of Cashel, whose evi dence was heard by me and by other Members,when sitting in Committee on the state of Ireland. A question was put to him as to what shape lie considered the Roman Ca tholics, if admitted to power, would be likely to disturb the tranquillity of a State, and his answers were con. strued to the effect, that, if at all, it must be as the Representatives of such State, and as Members of its Go vernment—that the Roman Catholics, if admitted to power could not by themselves produce any such effect, but that, as in all Executive Governments, there were various par ties, or factions as they might be called ; they, by allying themselves to some one or other of such parties, and making certain conditions with such party in furtherance of their own views, might lay the foundation of that ascendancy to which, it was contended, it was the spirit of their religion always to aspire. My Lords, having heard this attattuart put forward, 1 availed myself of many opportunities to in quire relative to the situation of the United States with la - ference to this particular point ; and I think, if the argu ment applies to any country, to this country it mustapply in an especial d egree , because here we have a republic— here we have a state of things in which we can easily inia gine perpetual differences to arise; from the very nature of their contests parties roust he more violent than elsewhere ; and if, in such a State as this, Roman Catholics have been admitted to power—that power which it is asserted they are always endeavouring to increase—it is here we must find the most abundant, the most unequivocal, proofs of the mischief they have committed. With a view to ascertain the extent of such mischief,. I sought every opportunity of inquiry from eminent and enlightened men of that country. My first question was, as to how many Roman Catholic Members held high offices in the Government and the answer I invariably received was, " We do not know." The answer I received, my Lords, was, that their number had never appeared, either from their votes, their language, or their declared opinions. Now, my Lords, there is no place more remarkable than America for a great variety of sects, and all warmly devot e d to the particular objects of their particular religion. In that country the clergy of all kinds are maintained by their re spective congregations—and, I believe, there are not less than 8,000 different churches, with different congregations throughout the country. When I inquired as to how many Roman Catholic Members were returned as Repre sentatives from the various States, I was equally unable to obtain information. Some said four or five; others, nine teen or twenty ; and others estimated the numbers as high as 30. I asked then, how the Roman Catholics voted upon certain great public questions, and the answer I re ceived was, "we do not know." Their professions mild net he ascertained by their votes or by their language. I then inquired how the Catholics had acted in the various contests for the Presidency—had they given their support to Adams, or to Jackson, or to what other—and the an swer was, "we do not know." I then carried my inquiry 'te the state of Maryland—a state, be it remembered, founded by Roman Catholics, and which, to their eternal honour be it mentioned, has always been the most free, the most tolerant, of all the United American States, and I asked, what number of Catholics were sent to Congress by the State of Maryland ? My answer was, that there was no ap pearance of the number of Catholics being greater than the number of Protestants. Now, my Lords, du you want bet ter proof that Catholic feeling merges into Constitutional feeling—when Catholics are not the objects of ex clusive laws ? I have stated that 1 give the prefer ence to America as an example of the non-interference of Catholics, from the circumstance of that country being a republic, and having no national church to pre sent that sort of resistance which a national church does to the inroads of any new fiith. But if there be any persons who wish for proof of a different description—who contend that there is a material difference in tkis-point of view between a country that has a national established church and one that has none—let them pass from America to Europe, and permit me to draw their attention to the state of that empire, in which an Established Church is, and has lung been firmly rooted—let them pass with use to Russia, where the Greek Church is the Established Church of the Empire. I cannot be told that the affinity of the Catholic Church to the Greek Church places the Greek Church in a state of safety, because the nearer they approximate, the greater is the temptation, and the greater the danger. Lt Russia, as your Lordships know, the Ro man Catholic is admissable to every office of the State, yet the Greek Church never felt apprehension, because of the adiniasion to power either of the Roman Catholic, the Ar uteuian Catholic, or die United Greek Church. 1 beg for a wotmo to call your Lordships' attention to the na ture of this united Greek Church, of whi c h som e of your Lordships may probably not be aware. The United Greek Church consists of persons who, whimsically enough, retain the same religious doctrines as the Greek Church,with this singular difference, that though they do not entertain the same doctrines as the Catholic, choose, fur reasons best known to themselves, to like the domination of the Popes. They are, therefore, Papists, but Papists holding nut the doctrines of the Rom an C a tholics but those of the Greek Church. Danger was, consequently, peculiarly to be apprehended from them, and it was pro posed to the Emperor Alexander, that as they were not enti tled to the same protection as the Roman Catholics, he elmould impose certain restrictions on them. The Emperor Alex. ander, however, would listen to nn such proposition, and determined to maintain that system of religious equality in which the best interests of his country consisted, and in which also consisted, the best interests of the Greek Church. At this moment, therefore, the members of the united Greek Church, as well as the Armenian Catholics, and the Roman Catholics, are admissible to any office of State in that Empire. And now, my Lords, with respect to Prussia— a country, be it observed, more exposed to danger of the kind I am alluding to than any other country whatever, • because so completely occupied by those who derive their property in consequence of confiscations. Yet, here, from the Rhine to Berlin, every Catholic is admissible to power. Can any man say, then, that Ireland is exposed to greater • danger than Prussia ? Or can any man, either in this House or in this country, affirm that if to-morrow a Ca tholic were to start up as the Elector of either of the Ger man States, it would give to Prussia one-tenth part of the dismay which the name of a Catholic to he “thuitted to power is said to give here ? But I will not tire your Lord ships by leading you through all the endless proofs in sup port of my pusition—l will nut dwell upon the present state of Germany, so favourable to my view—or upon that of Saxony, where a Protestant population exists uodera Catholic Sovereign (this 1 admit, indeed, t o lie a great cause of apprehension)—or upon that of Holland, where a Protestant Sovereign governs a Catholic people. In these two countries, indeed, the continuance of ancient prejudices might be pardoned ; for these two countries were the cradles of the Reformation, where the earliest conflicts took ry whirlm pnp t o eloac a cit i nee ly (d7l i o be tte o ::l : g v tlet e lte v iler4 e e t iu ' r l ie l e i Bl : 4: l l l. 4 ll :Yo ' e o fud i r : . But it sl in d y d' o es u ires r adai a :i l a.ce t da e l yi n tlei t bdi i s o e's n aiebax io ei that country which is the last on my list—l need uut refer you to the example of Hanover for proof of the good effects of a system which we wish to see imitated here. In Austria, in Bavaria, in France, it is considered consistent with the satiety of the State to admit perauus of all religious per buasions to take their share in the Government, and to participate in the advantages of the Constitution of the country. If you look fur the best security against the in terference of the Pope, von will find it in those nations which are governed by Roman Catholic Sovereigns. To Austria and to Bavaria you will tuin for such proof. My Lords, I hope most sincerely I shall not be told that there is any peculiarity i . niire compared with in the E ithi ulioth s e t r abal p li ro n t .d est C al l: t ut el Establishments,cmf as which renders it unsafe for that Church that per sons oh all classes shall be admitted equally to those rights which Protestants share in common. I am sure no person will contend that that superstructure, so distinguished by its purity, its excellent discipline, and the conduct of those by whom it is upheld, stands upon ground which renders it more liable to danger, and more exposed to injury, than Protestant establishments elsewhere. My Lords, this is a branch of argument into which I will not enter. But, my Lords, I contend, that if time example of other coon. tries did not warrant us in the conclusion to which I seri, to lead your Lordships, the peculiar state of Ireland would. That state, my Lords, is without precedent in the history of any civilised country. Under the laws by which that country it governed, we have tl ere a deanocrecy, actuaflj aiding, and at the same time an aristocracy, robbed by that democracy of all the means by which it rnaiutains its influence and its power—we have there also a priesthood so circumstanced, that all the influence they possess is op posed to the aristocracy, and to the beneficial objects which the aristocracy would achieve. The general character, therefore, of the state of society is monstrous—it is one, I say, which cannot much longer exist--it is one which, sooner or later, must demand the interference of the le gislature. It is not, my Lords, in this House, I shall be called on to vindicate the aristocracy of this country—to show that in the influence of the higher over the lower classes of the people consists the chief good of a coun try. It is in this influence consists that which has been the peculiar glory of Britain. In Ireland, my Lords, you have seen an absence of that legitimate in tinence, and in Ireland you have seen an illegitimate power exerted in its stead—a power which to the legitimate influence ought only to belong. My Lords, I feel the ef fect of,the influence exerted by the Roman Catholic Associa tion. '4O lamenting, as I do, the existence of that Associa tion, isiitat be allowed to express my conviction, that the charter of the existence of that Association is the exclu sion law : so long as that law remains, it will bind itself, as by a spell, on the affections of the country L-a spell which all the efforts of the Government will be linable to weaken. By one means alums can the Association be put down ; •by' one method only can its power he got rid of— not by defying it, not by seeking to destroy it by force —but by another way—by a system of conciliation. If you put down (Jae Association, another will rise up in its place—if we destroy it here, you will give birth to it there. Close up one of the channels, and the stream will inevitably open a new. It is this and this only which constitutes the great feature of danger. My Lords, before I close my observations, I must observe there are two (Locations which have been repeatedly put elsewhere, and will doubtless be put here to-night. Many persons snake up their minds to the conclusion that the present state of things cannot last—many who so make up their minds, du not hesitate to declare it—bat many who so make up their minds do not say so. Persons who make up their minds to such conclusion, and declare as much, ask of us two questions—the first is, as to whether we are certain that by the 'removal of those disabilities the tranquillity- of Ire land would be restored? And the second is, as to what security, if consent to such removal were given, could be offered and received? On both these questions, my Lords, I am anxious to say a few word:. First, then, with respect to the restoring the tranquillity of Ireland, by the removal of civil disabilities, I hive ooly to state that at no time have t contended, and never will contend, that the removal of thus disabilities will at once place Ireland in a state of tranquil !ity ortine p prosperity. r i t r i it e y t restoration ( I f is dlmwtil tranquillity, content, t i ti n o that prosperity, can yon succeed, until you have made up your winds to remove this most effectual barrier against boat.. I will appeal to those who have attended the Committe e of Inquiry into the state of Ireland, both of this- and the other House of Parliament—Committees, be it rentein bered, established fur avoiding, not far pressing on the Catholic Question—and I will ask of them whether they have ever considered any single grievance under which that country labours that did not merge into the introduction of that question of Catholic Emancipation-Lwhether, as all rivers find their way to the sea, they did nut ascertain that every one o f Ireland's grievances merged into the question of granting the Roman Catholics that which they claim—the removal of civil disabilities. -sly Lords, I very well know that it is exceedingly easy to assign the present unfortunate condition of Ireland to a variety of causes—it is easy to say one of the principal grievances of that country consists in want of capital, and an adequate degree of encouragement to industry—another in the per • valence of absenteeism—another, in what is indeed much to be lamented, the imperfect administration of justice ; but, my Lords, I maintain that every one of these minor evils is neither snore nor less than a consequence of the civil disunion of the inhabitants—the opposition of con flicting religious sects—and the exclusion of one class front privileges to which others of their fellow-subjects are eligible. lf, my Lords, by any diabolical and sinister influence, four-fifths of the population were to ho removed out of the pale of the constitution, and exposed to disabilities and grievances front a participation iu which the remainiug one-fifth were free, we should soon see a similar state of things here Ito that now felt and complaitied of in the sister Island. The sane causes would be productive of the same effects. We should soon observe the same want of capital—the sante absenteeism— the same poverty and discontent here as in Ireland. I sin aware, my Lord., that all the evils which now subsist in that couutry, and to which 1 have briefly alluded, cannot be at 012 Lvt got mid of —their course cannot be at once dried up..-ner eau they be:maile to:flow back in an opposite direction instantaneously, or by a sudden Lurst, but after a lapse of tints and by it stow and silent current. Let us now, by setting at rest this great question, only snake an opening for that curt-eat, and in time the stream of national prosperity will visit the shores and flow through the plains of Ireland. We shalt then have a return of capital—a demand for labohr—whieit can only exist in a country not embittered and disturhe.t by religious conflicts. So much for this lirancli of the as • ginnent. There is another subject to which it may be ex pected that I should call your Lordships' attention—l mean the subject of security. With regard to this put of tie question, I certainly am not prepared to propose w a y addi tional security whatever, until I hear the grotto'', on which that security is required. In my- hutuble oinnion, it be longs to those who entertain appreliensicn s of the admis sion of the Roman Catholics to a just. participation in civil rights—l say it belongs to those individuals who appear to feel and know the nature of the danger which thee fear, better than I can he supposed to do, to state the precise nature of their alarm, its foundation, and the secu rities which they think necessary. Be it for them, then, to point out securities. However, I cannot conceal Ina fixed and decided opinion, that if any security can, In pointed out to the Rom an C a th o li cs—any security con sistent with their a g n ra ti nt e , st a a n b d iis n h o n t le m nt ili o t i at t in h g , against the doctrine, ij c i i c e Roman Catholic Church--I say I cannot conceal my con viction, that a proposal for securities of this nature will, meet with a ready reception and a joyful acquieseenta a My Lords, at the same tin* I ant a good deal surpvised that the Roman Catholics should be called upon to suggest what the securities are to be. It would be as reasoner able to call on them to state the nature of the dangeas which are to be apprehended from their admission to civil rights. When the Ronson Catholiea recollected the waa fortunate reception which all attempts on their part haus hitherto met with, they cannot be much ancottra:Jal to proceed to make prup,ositious of this nature. What should advise the Roman Catholics to du would l* to wait till they are told what species of security will be satisfac tory to his Mariay'a Government—to those persons who possess the power and influence to forward their claims— and to the couotry at large. Then, Ima sure, as far as may be consistent with the integrity althaiv principles and the safety of their religion, the Roman Catholics will be found ready to concur in any securities which may be thought ne rLi t o: d i : : cessary for the well-being of the Church and State ashy law established. But when I say I think. the RumanCatholics will and ought to be ready to meet any demands of this nature, a i sa wl e e n a i, to fairly o say and n l d openly think s u tile d at e do uri e o ,, t e : t o e it : b : e royr s .s u p sAe p ic o i se dthat with regard to oaths, you have all the security that you cap, have, or can ex peal to have iu the shape of oaths.

MR. CANNING'S PENSION BILL. The Doke of WELLINGTON moved that the Mouse should go into a Committee on Mr. Canning's Pension The House then went into a Committee upon the Bill. Earl GROSVENOR said, that he misunderstood the period ut which this pension was proposed to be granted. lie thought if his Majesty were advised, and if he were, he (the Noble bud) would not oppose it, that it should commence from the time at which Le was so advised. Lord REDESDALE gave his assent to the passing of this Bill: He took this opportunity of calling their attention to another family greatly requiring and deserving their Lordship's benign► consideration—he meant Lord Gifford's family. (Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord knew that it was much against that Noble Lord's inclination that be had consented to discharge the public duties that wets imposed on him ; but he yielded to the earnest solicitations from the highest quarter, and in doing so gave up a most lucrative practice, by which he might amply have provided for Lis family. Lord ROLLE was happy that subject had been brought forward by the House now : lie intended to have called the notice of the House to it ere now, but circumstances had prevented him. He could bear testimony to the most satisfactory manner in which Lord Gifford had discharged his public duties. Lord GODERICH said, that after the death of the Noble Lord, his Majesty was advised to grant to his Lady or his son (he forgot which) the utmost extent both on the civil listof England, Scotland, and Irelmol - , each grant being benefited must essentially by the Noble Lord's services, the utmost extent of pension that the law allowed. Lord ROSSLYN considered, that if it were nut com petent for that House at once to atford some assistance to the late Lord's family, he thought their Lordships ought to lose no time in recommending his Majesty to get his Ministers to propose some measure to both Houses, by which he should be enabled to grant to that family an income adequate to the station they were called upon to sustain ; the 2,200/. already allowed being altogether un equal to that purpose. The Report upon Mr. CANNING'S Bill was received without amendments. Tl►e Duke of WELLINGTON moved that this Bill be read a third time to-morrow. ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE the following Order of the Day was read : " That it is expedient to consider the Laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in Great Britain and Ireland, with a view to such a final and conciliatory ad justment as may be conducive to the peace and streugth of the United Kingdom—to the stability of the Protestant Establishment—and to the general satisfaction and con cord of all classes of his Majesty's subjects." The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose, and spoke to the following effect : —My Lords, I rise, pursuant to notice, to call your Lordships' attention to the important Order of the Day, which you have just now heard read, on which I feel it necessary to offer to your Lordships tome observations, nut less in reference to the extraordinary im portance of the subject itself, than to the CIEAOIII which has usually, if not invariably, been pursued, whenever a communication of so much importance has been made to your Lordships by the other House of Parliament. Although I am ready to confess that, having before presented the pe titions of my Roman Catholic fellow subjects, I feel that, as far as my duty respected that most numerous and most respectable body, that duty terminated with the presenta tion of their petitions, anti that were I not to rise now to propose to your Lordships to take further proceedings, in compliance with their prayer, I should not discharge the duty which I conceive 1 owe—not to the Roman Catholics, but to the whole of the subjects of this realm—Protestants as well as Catholics—(l'lean )—a duty which impels me to address your Lordships on behalf, not of a part, but of the whole community.—(Hear.)—l say, therefore, that I should not feel myself justified if I were to refrain front particularly recommending the measure which I am about to subnsit to your Lordships, convinced as I am that it is necessary to secure the Protestant establishment, and to promote the general prosperity of the country.—ol ear .)___ I consider this proposition as entitled to your Lordships deepest attention, upon the broad ground of expediency—of expediency, I ant glad to say, in the outset, having heard it said already to this House, on another important question, that expediency formed the strongest ground for con sideration and concession. I do not know what duties we have to discharge in this place if we are not to be influenced by considerationS of expediency. I do not know why the two Houses of Legislature should sit if not to adapt laws to the altered state of the times. Now I contend that it would be impossible to legislate upon any thing like solid principle—that we should nut be doing any thing like the discharge of our sacred ob ligations —were we to continue to exclude front the benkits of the Constitution any portion of our fellow-subjects merely upon the grounds of their religious belief. lam ready to assert, that neither in the Gospel in which we believe—in the morality which we cherish—nor in that free Constitution founded upon Magna Charts, which we enjoy and venerate—is there to be fousud any thing which not only does not require, but which does not permit, the exclusion of any of the subjects of this resins from the en joyment of civil or political rights, on grounds other than that of expediency. It is therefore incumbent on those Noble Lords who oppose the principle recognised in the Order of the Day, to show that the objections upsm which the privileges of the Catholics were withdrawn still con tinue to exist, and if they do not so continue to exist, I con tend that that the restrictions ought also to cease.— (Hear. )---I am encouraged in my anticipations of success front this liue of argument, by recollecting the manner in PRICE 7D.
