The Earl of STKATFORD preseated several petitions from Donegal against Chu►ch Intrusion in Scotland. The Marqu:s of NORMANDY laid on the table returns re!ating to the discipline of gaols in Ireland. Also a re. turn of the persons nominated to act as Sheriffs of Conn tits in Ireland for the year 1841; and a return relating to tie Vaccine Institution. The Marcp.ii of DO WNSHIRE presented petitions from tmottil congregations in connexion pith the Presby terian Church tf Ireland against Church Patronage in Scotland. The Duke of CLEVELAND rresented a retition from Sunderland in favour of the Drainage inTowns Bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY inquired of the Noble Marquis, the Secret-ry for the Home DePartmet,t, whe ther it was the iutention of her Majesty's Ministers to propose any measure to alter and amend the Turnpike Acts of England and Wales? The Marquis of NORMANBY said that he bad given his lest attention to the sOject. There was at present a great pressure of business connected ;vial his de partment of the Government in the other House, which prevented him from stating the precise course which might be taker. But for the satisfaction of the Noble Lord, he would 'epart fr.m the course usually followed under such circumstances, and state that a Report would be laid before the other House, and upon the manner in which that Report might be received must depend the measure which would be proposed to Parliament. CHURCH PATRONAGE (SCOTLAND.) The Earl of DALHOUSIE, seeing the Noble Earl (Aberdeen) in his place, would ask, according to the notice which he gave last night, what the Noble Earl intended to do this Session with respect to the Bill which he brought in last year on the subject cf Church patro nage in Scotland? The Noble Lord at the bead of the' Government had said thati.be, not introduce any measure on the au*at, but 4 stood to vindicate itself. If the measure of his Noble Friend (the Earl of Aberdeen) bad been carried last year an end; might have been put to all causes of dissension ; but since that was withdrawn the &meads of the ext. erne party had increased. They would have been satisfied last year, with a mere veto upon the no mination, but now they called for an entire abolition of patronage. They had declared that no measure f a lli ng short of their demands would have a beneficial result ; and under those circumstances, he thought, that the only thing to be done was to leave the law as it stood to exercise its own• authority, and to vindicate itself upon the heads of those who violate or evade it. The majority of the people of Scotland who could form an opinion on the subject, and the whole body of the Dissenters, were op posed. The Noble Lord concluc:el by asking of the Earl of Aberdeen, whether i. was his intention to bring in this Semi in any Bill upon this subject similar to that which he proposed last year. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he was not sorry to he..r the question put to him by 1 i 3 Noble Friend, for he had received inquiries of a similar nature from so many parts of the country, accompanie I by such strong repre sentations, that he was gl id to be able to state the course it was his intenti on to pursue, and, at the same time, in a few words, his reasons for adopting it. Their Lordships were perfectly share this subject hal lost none of i.e interest or importance, but he (the Earl of Aberdeen) thought in the course of the last few months it bad assumed new features. it might probably appear somewhat crange that he should he sitate in renewing a measure which bad met with no formi dable opposition in that House, the second reading of which had been =lied by a large majority, and which bad passed through Committee, and been reported to the House—a measure too which had been received by a large body of the parochial clergy is Scotland with decided approbation, which they came forward voluntarily to declare. When be said the parochial clergy be spoke not of unendowed minis ters, or of those whose position was equivocal in the Caurch, and respecting whom it was doubtful a h:ther by law they formed part of the Church Courts or not. But of the Established Clergy nearly hclf had came forward end subse. ibed a declaration in favour of the measure. The measure had also been received by a majority of the laity of all rinks with entire acquiescence. But nevertheless he could not forget that the Government had thought it their duty to object to the measure. He did not allude to his Noble Friend, the Noble Viscount at the head of her Majesty's Government, because be (Lord Melbourne) had ex pressed no opinion on the merits of the measure ; but, on the contrary, had abstained from doing so, and therefore, if he thought fit, there was nothing to pre vent Lim (Lord Melbourne) from making it his own to morrow ; but many of his colleagues, and particularly the Noble and Le trned Lord, who usually presided in that House, had strongly objected to the Bill as a concession to unjustifiable pretensions, and a wanton violation of the rghts of patrons that at the very same time the Geoe:al Assembly objected to the measure as Eras tian and incompatible with the scriptural independ lace cf the Church, a; riveting still more strongly the fetters of patronage, and finally, a; tending to deth -one- the Redeemer from hie seat Now of these different &a;ses of objections, far as they were as the poles asunder, he hoped his measure was justly liable to neither ; but, if so, he left it to the reason of any man in his senses to decide which might, with the most appearance of truth, be urged ; but different as these objections were, when united in practical opposition to the measure—they ap peared to him to deprive it of all chance of effect ing the only good he had hoped from it, that of restoring peace to the Church ; and when that opposition was aided practically by the resistacce of the Government, and of the dominant party in the As sembly, it would prevent the beneficial effect which he had been sanguine enough to anticipate. It was in consequence of this feeling that he did not press his measure through the House. He was not aware that any change had occurred in either of the parties who objected to his Bill, and therefore the same reason would prevent him from pressing it upon the House in the pre sent Session. But there was an additional reason. He had t eon told list year that the object of the petitioners for non-intrusion was the total abolition of patronage ; and though he did not at the time believe it, he had some reason to think that this was the real subject at which the party who had referred to him ;aimed. The measure he introduced was certainly not calculated to satisfy them on this point, and therefore for this and the previous reasons it would be useless to renew it. He undertt ood her Majesty's Government bad maturely considered the subject, and that they had come to the determinst'on to preserve the law as it at present stood. fie had nothing to quarrel with in that declaration, as no doubt they had seen nothing which would render a change in their plans judicious. He lamented the course taken last year, but no doubt the Noble Viscount acted is a manner which he thought consistent with his duty. But to make that declat a.ion efEctual, it must be honest and sincere. He did not mean to intimate any doubt of the honesty or sincerity of the Noble Viscount, but that he must take care that the other Members of his Government acted and spoke in harmony with him. Unless he did so the people of Scotland would be misled and deceived. For instance, the principal law officer there, the Lord Ad vocate, was looked upon (he was sure erroneously) as their principal supporter. In that House they knew how to estimate the dimensions of a Lord Advocate—( A laugh)—but in Scotland he was looked upon as a much more important personage than the Noble Viscount himself—he was, in fact, the Govern ment himself.—( Hear.) He was happy, however, to find that the Learned Lord had retreated from his po sition, and had declined to attend at a public dinner, on the ground that a public demonstration at that time would not advance their common objects. These objects were the destruction of all patronage, and the stigmatising the judgments of the Supreme Courts in Scotland, and of that House. Such declarations were very injurious, and the domirant party in the Assembly of Scot land had circulated a report that it was his intention to bring forward a measure of a much more co ercive arid stringent character, al:hougli he deprecate such as idea. Ile trusted that eventually the law, tempe rately, firmly, and steadily administered, would be found too strong far those reverend agitators. On the motion of Lord R E DESD ALE, the Commit tee on the Copyhold Tenures Bill was postponed till Friday. SYRIA. The Earl of MINTO said, that on the motion for a vote of thanks in their Lordships' House to the officers who had served on the coast of Syria, a clerical error had occurred, which, for the satisfaction of the officers concerned, he was anxious to correct. The name of Sir Charles Frederick Smith was introduced into the vote instead of that of Sir Charles Felix Smith. He was the more anxious to correct the error as there was a junior officer of the former name in the corps. He begged [ewe to move, therefore, that the vote should be amended, and the name of Sir Charles Felix Smith substituted for that which had been inserted. The motion was agreed to. The House then adjourned, at a Quarter before Six o'Clock, till Thursday. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Mincii 2. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Sir G.

CHURCH-RATES. Mr. E ASTHOPE gave notice that on Wednesday, the 10th of March, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for the abolition of Church-rates in England and Wales. Mr. M•KINNON said it was not his intention to pro ceed with the motion of which he had given notice on the subject cf the health of towns, as the Government bad taken up the subject. PARISH CONSTABLES. On the motion of Sir E. KNATCHBULL the second reading of the Parish Constables' Bill was postponed till Tuesday, the 9th of March. Colonel PERCEVAL moved for leave of absence for Colonel Henry White till after Easter, on the ground of urgent private business. Lord H 0 WICK said they ought to take care that the motion would not interfere with the public business of the House. If he mistook not, Colonel White was on the panel and was liab!e to serve on the Election Committees. He did not mean to offer any opposition to the motion, but he thought they ought to inquire into the nature of the business which prevented an Hon. Member taking his share in the business of ;hit House. Sir R. PEEL thought when an Hon. Member moved for leave of absence, he ought to state what panel be was on. Now it appea.ed that the Hon. Member was on No. 5 panel, and was not likely to be called upon for some time. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON knew that Colonel White had very important private business to attend to in Ireland. , The motion was then agreed to. On the motion of Mr. H AWES the Medical Profession Bill was postponed from Wednesday till Wednesday week. TEXAS. In answer to Sir Walter James, Mr. O'CONNELL sail if the copy of the treaty with Texas was not laid on the table it would be necessary to postpone the motion of which he had given notice. SHERIFF COURTS (SCOTLAND). Nlr. WALLACE rose to move for a Committee to in quire into the nature and extent of the duties still incum bent on the holders of the now nearly sinecure office of Sheriff Pi incipal or chief stipendiary Judge for each county in Scotland ; and, also, t ) inquire into the nature and effects of the degrading system under which the above class of stipendiary Judges nominate and appoint stipen diary deputy Judges, which Judges are also paid out of the Exchequer ; and like all other deputies, are called upon to perform, and actually do perform, almost the whole of the highly essential and most laborious duties thus cast upon the useful close of Judges, who preside so satisfactorily over the county conrta of Scotland." The Hon. Gentleman commenced by allud ing to the County Courts Bill, brought in by the Under Secretary fur the Home Department, which he said would confer inestimable benefit on the large population of this country, and he (Mr. Wallace) sought to obtain the same benefit for Scotland. There were eighty Judges in Scotland, thirty of whom were sinecurists. By the Act of Jurisdiction, passed in the reign of George 11. it was provided that the Judges should hold itine rant Courts at different periods of the year. The Crown ha I the power to command them to do so ; but such had been the influence of the legal profession in Edinburgh, that they had never yet performed this most constitu tional duty. He did not know how his Honourable Friend the Secretary for the Home Department could pro pose to introduce his system into England, and refuse to extend the same benefit to Scotland. In that country there were two sets of Judges. Those wham he had des cribed as sinecurists had very few duties to perform; and they were in the habit of nominating deputy Judges to perform the duties of the office. Could anything be more monstrous, than that a Judge should have a nominee Judge to perform his duties ? Ile would tell his Learned Friend the Lord Advocate that there had been very bad appointments of those nominee Judges, and yet in spite of that those nominee Judges were far superior to those tha t ap pointed them. He had described the thirty Judges as sinecurists, and he said their duties were of very little importance. The Learned Lord opposite was going to show the House that their chief remaining duty was of ne importance at all, for he had introduced a Bill, one of the provisions of which was, that the registration duties of the Appeal Court should be taken from them, and given to three persons, to be appointed by the Speaker. He might be told that the Report of a late Commis sion had sanctioned an Act of Parliament for the improvement of the Sheriffs' Courts, and that that Commission had given a decided opinion, which ought to bear strongly against the appointment of the Committee %Oriels be was then moving. lie meant to bring a heavy charge against the Commission, inasmuch as they had not truly abstracted from the Jurisdiction Act, and they laid the superstructure upon a false, and he might almost say, a scandalous foundation. The Hon. Member then read a clause of the Jurisdiction Ace, and contended that it was demonstrative foam that that the Judges were to make itinerant Courts. What did the Law Commissioners say ? he was about to show that to the Noble Lord, because he was one of the Law Commissioners. What did they say ? They stated that the chief benefit of having kcal Judges was expedition and cheapness in obtaining decisions. lie would advert to this het rafter, and show that those men who were appointed were totally devoid of those principles which were there alluded to. Then, as to the residence of the Sh,lriffs, it was provided that every Sheriff-depute or substitute should reside personally in the county for four months in the year ; he asked where those words were ? Ile would venture to say that they had been ab stracted for the purpose of a superstructure which, if the Committee he asked for was granted to him, would be overthrown. If j lie Committee was granted, he should endeavour to pick out such Members as would do justice to all parties. He would now pass on to another part of the subject, stating only that he had no confidence in anything that the Report contained. This took place under the first Commission to inquire into the Scotch Courts ; and the second Commission, which was greeted among other things, and to inquire into the expediency of circuits being performed by u cer tain number of non-resident Sheriffs, who should be re tained for the purpose—that 'Commission had left their duty totally unperformed, because they knew that such a case would be made as would make it incumbent for the House to inquire into the subject of the Scotch Courts. The Right Hon. Lord Advocate well knew that in place of requiring the Sheriffs to remain in their county, the Act only required that they should hold eight sham courts throughout the year. Ile called them sham courts, be cause the public were not admitted to them, and in fact knew little or nothing about them The Act further required that the Sheriffs should be practising bar risters, and, therefore, it set up twenty-eight Appeal Courts in Edinburgh—Appeal Courts, from the County Courts in Scotland, which was one of the most preposterous things that could possibly be conceived. Another reason why the Learned Lord ought to be on the Committee was that that House had passed a Bill, four clauses of which regulated the duties of those Court, yet these dudes were conducted in a most unsatis factory manner, in consequence of the other House having thrown out those clauses. It was for the honour of the blouse itself that a Committee should be appointed, in order to tee whether degradation bad not been inflicted upon that House by such conduct. It was a fact that these Courts admitted of two records—that no witnesses were ever ad mitted into them—that the Judge never delivered a judg ment in open Court—all his proceedings were carried en in dumb show, and but for the expense they heaped upon the country all these proceedings would be a sohnn farce. He had already endeavoured to describe the nature of the Scotch Judges, of whom there were thirty. He might probably be told that those Judges were men of high learning and acquirements—of great professional practice —men well qualified to act as Judges. But he could tell the House, from accurate information which he had .0 ob tained on the subject, that out of those thirty J ud g es, were old men, eight had retired from busi ness altogether. nine eleven of them might fairly be called old women,_ 4 %ere in pretty fair prac,ice, and two o f them decided most beneficially. There was an anomaly in the Scotch Courts which was not in those of any other portion of the United Kingdom-, some of the Judges were ordered to be in their Courts continually, while others were not required to be so. He ( Mr. Wallace) moved in Committee last year to know how many advocates were at the Scotch Bar. The ques tion was answered, and he had then asked what were their names, and could he have them. The answer was, No. How ever, be had Ir arced their names from one of the witnesses who gave evidence before the Committee, and . he found that not one of the Sheriffs were within the leading coun'el. The Bill Lef3re them for Englaud, which gave 25 Judges, was an excellent one, and the Hon. Baronet was to move to-night f..r funds to pay those Judges, and if there were not sufficient funds for that purpose, he (Mr. W.) would show him where there were plenty of spare Judges and spsre funds. However, he would not propose for England what ho thought unfit for Scotland. He had learned from the Hon. Member for Bandon, who was on the Committee of last year, and who paid the closest attention to the subject, that in Ireland tilere were 34 Judges. What then could be the necessity fcr 30 in Scotland ? 19 of that number were totally incam petet,t to discharge their duties, 9 or 10 did their duties as barristers, but they did no duties as public Judges. Itwas a mere farce, it was a positive mockery, a system of patronage to which the public money oughtnot to be devoted. In Ireland they had thirty-four Judges receiving an average of 5001. a-year each, while in Scotland they had thirty-seven Judges receiving an average of 7001. a year each. These Judges had fifty nominees who re ceived among them 20,1501. a-) ea , -. Beside', in Scot land they had to pay fees on each sentence of transport r firm, although the sentence had never been carried into effect. That he thought was a positive waste of public money. If the registration fees were taken away from the Scotch Judges his work would be done. But he knew why the present Lord-Advocate, like his predecessors, opposed all reform in the Scotch Judges, and indeed he did not believe that any Lord Advocate would be returned to that House if be , stood out boldly for a thoreugh ' reftemation of the .Scotch -Cowls. He hid endeavoured to show the House that a Committee ought to be appointed, and 'he should certs'nly divide the House upon it. He hoped that those Gentlemen who intended to vote against him would be able to tell their constituents why they would not have the Scotch Courts improved ; but he should be surprised if any man got up and said those Courts were not capable of improvement. He was not willing that Scotland should be degraded, and the people plundered for the mere sake of patronage, a much higher value being set upon it than the thing was worth, even when a contested election came. He concluded by moving for the appointment of " Committea to inquire into the nature and extent of the duties still incumbent on the holders of the now nearly si necure office of Sheriff Principal, or Chief Stipendiary Judge for each county in Scotland ; and also to in qu're into the nature and effects of the degrading system under which the above class of Stipendiary Judges no minate and appoint Stipendiary Deputy Judges, which Judges arc also paid out of the Exchequer; and, like all other Deputies, are callei upon to perform, and ac tually do perform, almost the whole of the highly essential and most laborious duties thus cast upon the useful class of Judges, who preside so satisfactorily over the County Courts of Scotland." Mr. GILLON seconded the motion. The SPEAKER having put the question, The LORD ADVOCATE arid that the Hon. Gea• tleman h:d ventured to state, in submitting his motion without the least particle of evidence, that the system under which a class of officers, upon whom he had Le.tovved great praise, but not more than was due to them, was nominated and appointed, was in itself a degrading system.—(Hear, hear.) It was at least satisfactory to him, and he knew it would be so to the people of Scotland as well as to that House, to know, that in whatever manner that Ik nourable Gentleman night choose to characterise the system of their appointment, he was obliged to confess that they were a most useful class of officers, and that they discharged most onerous duties with honour and credit to themselves, and satisfaction to all.---( Hear, hear.) He confessed that, on looking at the terms cf the motion, with the experience he had had of the man ner in which the Hon. Gentleman conducted his motions, he was not at all surprised at the tone and temper with which ha had entered into the discussion of this subject, but he did not think it worth while to reply in that tone and temper. The Hon. Member had used very strong language with reference is the Sheriffs themselves, which he (the Lord Advocate) knew could be rebutted in Scotland. lale had said that lis Noble Friend had stated that he was to grant the Committee of Inquiry if the house should willing it right ; that might ' be so, but he (the Lord Advocate) thought he had sufficient fran, the Ltatennents of the Hon. Member himself to condemn him. He had stated that no pet son who had attacked the merits of the system of the Sheriffs and Judges in Scotiand were secure of their seats in that House ; in short, he had told him (the Lord Advocate) that he could not ene!eise his own judgment, or speak his oval mind, fur if he did he knew the system was :n sue's repute in Scotland that those who attacked it could not be secure of thei: seat, and yet he had told him that this was an improper system in Scotland. I - He thought the 4systeth of the Sheriff.' Courts, which the Hon. Member did trot at all comprehend, had all along g van great satisfaction in Scotland. A Commission had been granted, and witnesses examined both, in the profe:- t.ion and out of it, and every one was in favour of the system. The lion. Gentleman had taken advantage cf his position in that House to accuse a Commission, of which he was one, of being guilty of misrepresentation for a pur pose. He (the Lord-Advocate) would not retaliate. He could not say he spoke out of the abundance of his knowledge, nor would he say anything further that that he spoke out of the abundance of his ignc rance. He had heard no grounds made fir the motion except one, and that was a mere raiser of the lion. Gentleman ; he said there ought to be inquiry, be cause the people in Scotland were in general much dissatisfied with the system as it worked in Scotland. Now he would put it to any Scotch Member present whe ther that was the fact. He really thought it unnecessary for him to detain the House by entering into any details of the Sheriff system in Scotland. lie might, however, be permitted to say, in every county in Scotland there was an officer called Sheriff Depute—it was formerly proposed that he should reside four months in each year in his county; but a very high authority at that time strongly objected to that ar rangement, as he thought it would be much preferable that he should always reside in Edinburgh, the head-quartsrs of the law. There was in every county, however, a local Judge called the Sheriff Substitute, wile regularly resided in his county, and administered justice there. He should be sorry to see the local administration of justice entrusted, without any control whatever, to officers having front 3001. to 4001. per annum salary, and subject tcr all the local influences of the society in which they moved. These influences were best counteracted by their acting under the control of another Judge residing in Edinurgh, and altogether beyond that influence, while at the same time he was responsible far the acts of the local officer. Now, if they allowed the local Magistrates to be sepa rated from the great system of law which prevailed in Scotland, they would create great confusion, and such a step would operate most in juriously against the due administration of justice. Ho contended that the Hon. Gentleman had entirely failed to show that the Judges did not perform their duties in the most satisfactory manner. Though he had called them sinecurists very high duties were attached to their office, and their performance of their duties had always reflected the highest honour upon them. Mr. HUME said he thought the Learned Lord had quite misunderstood his Hon. Friend. His Hon. Friend had shown that there were:3o persons who had scarcely any duties to perform, and he argued that there was great reason for improvement in the system. The Learned Lord said that this system bad existed 160 years, and therefore it must be a good one. Why, it appeared to bins ( Mr. H.) that the existence of any Court for one hundred years was a very strong reason why it should be considered.—( A laugh.) His Honourable Friend had not complained of the manner in which jus tice was administered by the local and Learned Judges ; on the contrary, he stated, both last year and the year before, that they did the business admirably, but that they were not remunerated as compared with the principal in Edinburgh. His Hoa. Friend had rc c ommeaded former occasions—he was now anxious to obtain proof in support of his views—that the local Judges shculd he placed on a more respectable footing. The appointments being in the hands of the Sheriff were more likely to be political than if left to the nomination of the Sect etary of State. He (Mr. Hume) thought these Judges would get through nearly all the business of the counties if they were adequately paid. Ample means alight be found, if they curtailed the numbers of those who were next to sine curists. He was not sure that one individual in Edin burgh could not hear all the appeals from all the counties in Scotland, and if so a great amount of money paid to the sinecurists would be saved, and what was more, there t would be a uniformity of decision. Ho therefore thougab. the Learned Lord, knowing he bad a weak casec,,l?oc,l been anxious to shirk, and he certainly had suteco_a.,.ns in doing so, the strongest and most important pe a r ha f t ! h i e Hon. Friend's argument.

That House givenn that es s the had decided that sinecures should Cease—wily then, he would ask, should sinecures be kept up in Scotland? His Honourable Friend (Mr. Wallace) had, he thought, made out au excellent case.—(Hear, hear. ) They were under great obligati ins t')Honourable his Friend for the perseverance with w hi c h he had brough t that subject under the consideration of the House. Year after year he endeavoured to benefit the c)untry, by point- ir g out the abuses of the system which was now the jest of dischtssims. - - Mr. GIL LON contended that the Hoe. Member (Mr. Wallace), in endeavouring to remedy the abuses of the Sheriff system in Scotland, had both justice and right reason on his side, yet he (Mr. Gillon) feared from the tribunal to-which he had to appeal that he had little hope nf wean, because he always found a wonderful coinci dence between the two great parties in supporting sine nHalodnu. tie F n iie n n n d an w n h o o un s t p o o f ke th l a a t st i , na h r e eas d referred r s r a e i d:o y, the abuse of the increase in the Judges' salaries which had taken place last year, and he (Mr. Gillon) thought that s c o u ra re e L add ll iti i o s ought to be imposed on them, thereby the country could be relieved of those thirty sinecure places which had been mentioned. There was a wonderful similarity of senti- • ment between the two leading parties in the House, on matters such as the present, and that similarity of sen timent would continue as long as patronage and profit t could he held out by them to their adherents.—( Hear.) He did not wonder at the cheers from the other side of the House. The party on that side of the House were no doubt looking to a speedy return to office, aqd to the abi lity of bestowing their patronage on some cf the Tory lawyers of Edinburgh. He (Mr. Gillen) understood his Hon. Friend to have stated that at Leith or Edinburgh no man presenting himself to the electors had a chance of be coming their representative unless he was the subservient tool of the clique who upheld the patronage system. The Noble Lord had said it was the opinion and wish of the profession that the Judges should receive large salaries ; but such was not the opinion of the country. There wa s a growing opinion in Scotland that the office of Sheriff Priecipsl was a sinecure, and that the more speedily it was abolished the better. A return moved for by an Hon. Member showed the number of appeals from Sheriffs Substitute to Sheriffs Principal. These were consider able in amount; but, on the other hand, the number of reversals was small, and the duty might easily have been performed by the Lords Ordinary. He could not help thinking it somewhat ano malous that the Lord Advocate of a Libe ral Administration should be greeted with such loud cheers by the Tories opposite ; and he (Mr. Gillen) thought this was prima facie ev dence against his case. The Learned Lord, is his reply, had stated nothing to show what other duties were performed by these sinecure officers. He knew there was a feeling in Scotland that those offices were sinecures, and that the mode of appointment was de grading, and such was his opinion ; and he should there fore vote with his lion. Friend. Sir G. CLERK thought there wan nothing in the statemento als f s ; h o e i. H T o f nt e M c e o mb uid e r for Greenock v ethe Hon. Memberthat re mbe ; for Kilkenny, the system of Sheriffs' Courts in Scotland was inadequate for the demands of justice, and that this was the opinion of a large portion of the people. But he (Sir G. Clerk) believed that every person scqu.i ited with Scotland was prepared to give a tliteet denial to that statement, and to state, on the contrary, that it worked well, and gave general satisfaction. And on his own behalf, and from his own experience, he was enabled to say that the greate t benefit was derived to Scotland from the Sheriffs' Courts of that ro.intry.— - (Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Kilkenny had said that he had no reverence for anything established one hundred years age. He (Sir G. Cleric) believed the golden age of the Hon. Member did not extend farther backward than 1792.—(Laughter.) He agreed ie every • word thet fell from the Learned Lord-Advocate as to the advantages which resulted from the Sheriffs coming into contact with their brethren of the law in the Su perior Courts. B.fo e the Act was passed which re quired the Sheriffs to be lawyers, and to reticle in Edin burgh four mouths of the year, tine Sheriffs were country gentlemen totally ignorant of law, and their administra tion gave continual dissatisfaction. The Right Hon. Gentleman complained of the terms in which the Hon. Gentleman had put his motion on the papers of tie House, witch he well knew would circulate throughout Scotland, and create a prejudice against the administra tion of justice in that country, and lower the position of the Judges in the estimation of the public. Mr. H. STEUART could not approve of the indis criminate censure which his Hon Friend, the introducer of the motion, had healed cn the Judges who presided in the Scottish Courts; although he could not but think with him that the number of Judges might be conveniently diminished. While, therefore, he would feel it his duty to vote for the motion of his Her. Friend, he repudiated the I,ersonal attacks he bad made; and though he thought that much in the present system was good, he thought that it might in theory be susceptible of very considerable - improvement. that, so far ashe had of been jus tableioo into form an impressionopinion sEioEn iasaid en local adm i nistration was that the present sy s t em was satisfactory, Sir lrsni . Scotland, although it might be capable of partial im provements. He cud not, therefore, ace the necessity for a Committee of Inquiry lap the subject ; and he was of opinion that such inquiries might tend to shake the authority of the Judges, which 'could certainty be a most str'ous evil. lie thought that the lion. and Learned Gentleman the Lord Advocate had adduced the most con vincing reasons why they should not accede t the mo tion, and why they should not seek to change the present law in respect to the administration of justice. The Honourable and Learned Member must however, have felt himself strangely placed while putting forward his rri ; for, on his left, he might hive seen the Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Fox Maale), the author cf the County Courts' Fill, and on his right the Noble Lord. the author cf the Registration Bill. Ile' (Sir R. Peel) wished the H , n. and Learned Gentleman would use the same force of argument be hail that evening display el in opposition to those me tsures.—( Laug'itar. ) Mr. F. M A ULE felt bound to object to the motion, from the very woroing of the notice. It had now gone forward to the public of Scotland, and were he now to conseut to t'le appointment of the Committee he would to giving sornew.couLteaance to 'the ch .rgcs it contained. The appcietmeit ref a Committee would carry with it a suspicion that there was something wrong. If there was anything glaringly wrong it must naturally come glaringly before the public, and then it would he the bounden duty of the Executive to come forward with a remedy. Let the Hon. Member bring forward his project in the shape of a Bit', and they would know what they had to meet, and let the question be settled. The present plan cf the Hoe. Gentleman was eminently calculated to injure the adminis tration cf the law in Scotland. Mr. WA LI, ACE replied. He had des;geedly worded his motion as it stood, because every word it contained was true.—( Oh, oh.) It was ; he adhered to every word of it. There was in Scotland a universal desire for an alteration in the system. With regard to appeals, the two Judges for Peebles and Bute had only two and a half appeals be tween them.—( A laugh.) The Right Hon. Gentleman would:not give him a Committee, because he knew that the effect would be to pull down the whole of the mischief. If instead of these thirty useless men, they had twenty-four Judges, whose duties were properly regulated, the busi ness would be far more efficiently performed. It would depend upon the House whether the counsel which had been tendered would be useful. Ile proposed to alter the terms of his motion, and to suggest it to the House in the follow kg form:—" Committee to inquire into the nature and extent of the duties still incumbent on the office of Sheriff- Principal, or Chief Stipendiary Judge for each county in Scotland ; and also to inquire into the nature and effects of the system under which the above class of stipendiary Judges nominate and appoint stipendiary Ds puty Judges." Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— Ayes 37 Noes Majority against the motion — 49 On our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. WALLACE on his legs stating that he should not press his other resolutions atter the decision of the House. The resolutions were then withdrawn. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. COLQUHOUN then rose for the purpose of moving for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Acts of the Irish Parliament relating to the College of Maynooth, the 3 5 th of Gco. 111. cap. '2O, and the 40th of Geo. 111. cap. 85. He approached the question, of which he had given notice, with great anxiety and re luctance, not because he thought the subject was one un deserving the consideration of Parliament, but because it had been made the theatre of strong religious feeling, and because it would be thought by some persons on the other side of the House that it was intended to attack their religious principles. He trusted that he should be enabled so to put it to the House as to divest it of suchi! character, and that, the discussion of it might be appr shed ho without any reliaious asperities. He must t h at cotfes t s he had never yet been able to give a vote against because g grant h n o t to the College of Maynooth, and found that the grant to the Co f l o l r eg th e Acts of felt' a long series of years under veryot become important ihardeareenn continued the House Parliament, and therefore it would n s w e e ri r o e u t s f e o s r u i s e i h d c ; to withdraw a grant so constituteds i v o itr o u ts t salon, and secondly he il t o use to interfere without thought I nature as not to authorise the fi r st Act, to which b e first a'tering those Acts. 1 3 Y ow alluded, and ten ecclesiastics.

Ile wished it to be understood distinctly that when he spoke of the alteration, ho did not mean any ultcratien depriving the Coliege cf Maynooth of any private grants. He spoke only of the sanction given by the Act to the Coliege of Ma) naotb, and he would put it to those who chsag . te el with the grants to the College whether the al teratt in to which he hal alluded ought not first to take pla 'e, Ile had no doubt that cn the other side it would be said, what reason was there for such alteration ? He found those reasons in the Acts cf Parliament themselves. These Acts evidently contemplated two things, and such was the intention of Mr. Pitt, They con t e mplated a suf fie eat contro l on the part of the laity ovir clic clergy, and they contemplated a control also en the part of the Go 'ertirr elf. No w h e thought, that be should be _ to sad .fy the H owe th a t w hile that control. was professed, it was not possessed. By the first Act it was provided that the majority of the trustee: shotild be laymen; there were then tan ecclesiastics, and four Protestants and seven Re man Catholic layman. The trustees stood, the re f ore, as eleven to ten under that Act. lho trustees so constit u t e d had in that College a most tefficient control. Th ey ap pointed the Professors, and drew up the rules. But, un littunaiely, a c hange was made by the next Act, the Act o' 1800, which very much frust, a ed the views of Mr. Pitt aed the Roman Catholic laymen. If any one would turn to slit Act they would find a most material altera tion. The trustees were divided into two parties. The first ate visitors, and the other trustees. ~, a __ ._ ~/~
