HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 22. The oaths were admitristered to' the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of nmouth, the Earl Grey, and Lord Cawdor. The House proceeded in Halford's Divorce Bill. Mr. Warren appeared as Counsel for the petitioher. IVitnesses were examined, and the further proceeding postponed. A number of Petitions were presented, read,and laid upon the table, respecting the Coal Duties, the Insolvent Act, and the Criminal Li WS, pre sented by the Earl 'itzwilliatn, the Earl Grey. the Earl of Abingdon, the Eat I of Lauderdale, the Earl Digby, the Bishop of Hereford, Lord Auckland, Lord Viscount Granville, &c. The Royal Marine Mutiny Bill, and the In-. denntity Bill, were read a third time arid - passed. The documents were presented from the Crown Office in Ireland, respecting the return of the Earl of Carrick as a temporal Peer for Ireland, in the room of Lord Viscount Northland, de ceased. The Portugal Slave Trade Bill was brought up hfrom the House of Commons by Mr. Brogden land other Members, and read a first time. A Message from the Commons, by Mr. l3rog den and others, brought up,turn Reports respect ing the Drainage of Bogs, in Ireland, requested by the Lords, which - were ordered to be printed. The Na,sau Salt 13111, the British Plantation Wool Bill, and the East India Goods (Ireland) Bill, were read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. The- Marquess of DowNsimm presented two Petitions from Protestants of Dublin, in favour of the Roman Catholic Claims ; one of them agreed upon at a General Meeting of the Protestants of the Lord Mayor of that City in the Chair. The Petitions having been read, and ordered to lie upon the table, his Lordship observed, that they were signed by several Protestant Noblemen and great landed proprietors of Ireland, by a number of eminent merchants representing the commerce of Ireland, and by a large proportion of most respectable individuals. was not present at the Protestant Meeting, but he could state from the best information, that the best spirit of harmony prevailed at it, and that the object of the petitioners was to smooth, as far_as missible, all differences of opinion, and to state their purpose in the manner the most agreeable purpose which had been met by the Catholics in the true spirit of conciliation. He had no doubt that the spirit thus evinced by the Pro testants of Dublin would spread generally throughout Ireland, and this most important question would thus come before their Lordships tinder new and most auspicious circumstances.— He trusted that these considerations would have some weight with their Lordships, when this great and important question came ou for dis cussion. The Earl of ENNISKILLEN denied that a feeling on the part of the Protestants of Ireland was by ally means general in favour of the Roman Catho lic Claims. On the contrary, in the county with which he was connected, and which was the most Protestant part of Ireland, the opinion of the Pro testants in general was decidedly against the Catholic Claims. He should IFive to present to their Lordships, in the course of a tew days, a Petition from Protestants of Ireland, very nu merously signed, against the claims of the Roman Catholics. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE, with reference to the Petitions presented by his Noble Friend, observed'upon their importance with a view to the great question of the Catholic Claims, that they had come from the Protestants of the capital of Ireland, of that city widen was emphatically called Protestant Dublin, and that these Peti tioners were willing to give up the monopoly of exclusive privilege, which, in truth, was the great source of weakness in the Government of Ireland, and to concede a participation in those privileges to their Catholic fellow-subjects that a Petition, thus voluntarily agreed upon, was signet! by many of the Protestant Noblemen, great landed pro prietors, eminent merchants, and others of the greatest respectability, and that it was brought forward and carried in every spirit of conciliation. All these circumstances formed a subject of con gratulation to every one, who, like him, thought that to concede the claims of the Roman Catholics was the only true policy to allay discontent and irritation, and consolidate the strength of the Empire. Undoubtedly he did not mean to say that persons might not conscientiously differ trout him in opinion, that persons might not conscien tiously believe in the existence of danger front the admission of a few persons of the Catholic per suasion into either House of Parliament, or from th e e vent ua l admissio n of Catholics into office at the pleasure of a Protestant Sovereign. He, however, entertained no such apprehensions, nor would he have hesitated for a moment in sign ing the Petition, as a landed proprietor of Ireland, had it been within the scope of the petitioners.— The chief purpose, indeed, of his now rising was to account fur his name not appearing amongst the signatures to the P.Atian, or rather that no conclusion unfavourable to the object of the petitioners might be drawn from that circum- stance. Had the object been to have the signa tures of landed proprietors who were not resident in Ireland, undoubtedly his should be placed at the foot of the petition. As it was, however, the petition catne.to their Lordships with double force ; it was the petition of Protestants who were in the co n st ant ' h a bi ts o f intimacy with their Catholic fellow- su bj ects , and who were in the daily interchauge with them of, social and domes tic relations of life; they, thus situated, who came forward and said, that their Catholic fellow-subjects, whom they knew and appreciat ed, were entirely worthy of being relieved from those remaining disabilities which still oppressed them, and when in all the great contests and int... portant conflicts that had occurred during the pro trac:ed hostilities we bad been engaged in, no instance had occurred of a breach of faith on ac count of religion, it was surely not too much, to ask that the Catholics of Ireland alone should not be vigmarized as disposed on that account to commit breaches of faith.. The Marquess of BUCKINGHAM rose for the purpose of stating, that he also would have signed the petition alluded to, as a landed proprietor of Ireland, lied it been within► the scope of the pe titioners to have the signatures of landed pro prietors who were not resident in Ireland, and of whom, nearly the whole were in favour of the pe tition, together with a large proportion of the re sident proprietors in that part of the United King dom. He hailed the petition which had been presented with the greatest satisfaction, consider ing it as a great step gained in behalf of . that li beral spirit of conciliation which it was so emi- ' nently desirable should he extended to our Catho lic fellow-subjects. The Marquess of DOWNSIIiRR, with reference to what had been said by the Earl of Enniskillen, observed, that he never meant to state that all the. 'Protestants of Ireland concurred in the ob ject of the Petitions which he had presented, well knowing, of course, that the Petition numerously signed, which the Noble Earl was to present, would express the opinion of those who signed it, neither (lid he mean to say, that upon thi. q , ►tes Lion persons might not conscientiously differ in opinion from himself ; on the contrary, be re, sneered all such difference of opinion. The Earl of DARNLRY stated, that he also would have signed the Petition had it been the object of the Petitioners to obtain the signatures of non-resident landed proprietors. The Mattress a DowNSHIRE presented a simi lar Petition from Belfast, which was also ordered to lie upon the table. ALIENS AND DENIZENS' BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Aliens and Deni zens' Bill. Lord HOLLAND complained that this Bill was pressed to its last stage without any of the Mini sters condescending to explain what was the actual stare of the law upon the subject. The House was partly cleared for a division, but no division took place, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Johnston presented some Papers from the Irish Secretary's Office, which were ordered to lie on the table. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR presented the Report of the Committee on the Petition from the inhabitants of Mary-le•bone, complaining of the present supply of water ; and the Report being real, leave was given to brine in a Bill to provide for the better supply of that parish with Water. , WATER COMPANIES. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, in allusion to the Report he had just presented, paid, he telt it his duty to make a very tew remarks on the conduct of the Water Companies. They had of late, at least within, these few years, divided the town among themselves, under a promise that no increase of rates should take place on that account. But the public unfortunately !elt that this promise was not realized, that in truth no regulation was entered into for the general good of the inhabitants, bur that they were left totally at the mercy of the Companies. The rates charged by the said Com panies were also most oppressive, particularly considering the very extraordinary. rise they had lately made. The injury arising horn their op pressive conduct was peculiarly felt by persons who happened to come into houses in t h e room Of kold tenants who had left those houses without paying their rates ; the consequence was, that the Water Companies demanded payment at once from the new tenant,, without any regard to hi, condition, and unless payment was made the water-pipe was cut off. He highly censured such practices, having known the injury resulting from them, and sincerely trusted Parliament would in- terfere to prevent this from going on. Mr. HoLrds SUMNER perfectly agreed with the Honourable Gentletnan who had just sat down, because he considered the increase of rates had been very great indeed. He suggested whether a Bill might not be brought in to yepeal the Acts establishing these Companies, on account of the junction which they had formed with each,other. Sir JAMES GRAHAM' said, that all that the parish of Mary-le-bone wanted was a moderate charge for a proper and adequate supply of water. He trusted that Parliament would see the absolute necessity of doing something in the case, as it vas indispensably necessary that some restraints should be put on the Companies. The public, he must say, felt the very heavy burden of the extravagant rates charged by these bodies, mid it was now high time that some legislative re striction should be imposed on them. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR felt that this was a subject in which the whole Metropolis was interested, and it was one of the greatest interest to them. lie should feel himself very happy in agreeing with the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Surrey, relative to a Bill for the repeal of the Acts of the Water Companies, as their junction was certainly improper. But the House knew well .what was the case with private Bills of this nature, and that but for special circumstances, he as an in dividual would have been subjected to 4 or 50001. [PRICE SEVENI'ENCE• expellees on the Metropolis Paving Bill. If the different parishes however would unite together and support the measure, he pledged himself he would introduce a Bill to the purport suggested by the Hon. Gentleman, from a deep-felt convic tion of its vital importance to the inhabitants of the Metropolis. The Petition from Mary-le-bone was then order ed to be referred to a Committee, to inquire into and report on the subject. Air. MuLusti moved t:;e second reading of the Bill for better lighting and paving the street,: of St. George, Bloomsbury, and St.Gdes in the Fields. Read and committed. Mr. VANE POWLETT moved to - refer some Pe titions regarding the Darlington Railway Bill to a Committee. A long conversation took place between Mr. Gamble'', Mr. Bennet, Mr. Walton, Mr. M. A. Taylor, Sec. when the House divided— For the Motion SO—Against it 51. BOROUriFIBRIDGE.

There were sonic facts stated in their petition, to ,cl►ich he begged to call the attention of that House. Front the year 1814 to 1818, the loss actually incurred by Mr Longman's house, in consequence of the operation of the Copyright LA WS , amounted to 1181/. ; that of Mr. Mint ay to- 12751. The pe tition also stated that on the pobliching of eleven copies of only fire works, amongst which were. Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanun►, and another work of the same Author, the loss would be 21981. and on Dodswell's Views of India 2751_ lie was then brought up - and ordetcd to be laid on the table. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN presented a petition signed by twu individuals, against the renewal of the Insolvent Acts.—Ordered to be referred to tile Select Committee. COAL DUTIES. On the presentation of a petition from Aberdeen against any alteration in the Coal Duties, • Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that he could take upon himself to state, that the idea ot ex tending any Bill for the equalization of the Duties on Coal to Scotland, never was in ihe templat ion of those who directed their efforts to obtain an alteration in the present laws. They knew well, that by a previous arrangement made by the Administration of the (lay with Scot land, the Ditties on Coal were taken otfand trans ferred to Whiskey. He felt it necessary to re peat, that those with whom the measure of alter ation originated in the Metropolis, had never any intention ot disturbing that arrangement ; be cause lie saw from the beotch newspapers that an erroneous impression prevailed there on that sub ject. lie only %visited that the Bight Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer would indulge the City of London in a sitnilar way, ami transfer the Duties paid on Coals to some other article which would not so heavily affect the pourer Classes. Mr. 1-lot.mg SUMNER said, that it was not for the' Metropolis alone that he stood forward in endeavouring to obtain a repeal of these Ditties. Ot all articles subjrct to taxation, he cons!dered, in every view, Coals the most unfit, Undur conviction, he should certainly submit a proposi tion to that House, to the effect of removing the Duties levied on Coals throughout England, lit land and Scotland. Mr. CAMPBELL pre3ented a petition from Perth, against any alteration in the Coal Duties.—Or dered to be printed. BANKRUPTCY LAWS.
