It was undoubtedly lawful for them so to do. • In great.part. of what the Noble Marquis had said he concurred. As to the lawfulness of, the opposition, he had nothing to say, however questionable its prudence might be. However, he certainly had not meant to gay any thing to hurt the feelings of the landed proprietors of Ireland. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARGE! ti. Lord KING took it for granted that the Right Rev. Prelate had most justly described the character of meekness and gen tlenesS which belonged to the worthy Rector of the parish in question : from what the Right Rev. Prelate had said of that Gentleman, he mast regard him as the perfect beau ideal of an Irish parson—as the most moderate of tithe-seeking divines—• in short, as the St. Charles de liorromeo of the Irish Church. All that the parish was told was, that if they did not compound with the parson, they would be delivered over to the lawyers,— that the lawyers would deliver them to the tormentor, the tithe incarnator. He should like to see at the bar this curiosity in. natural history, this chimera or Gorgon, " the cruel Delany," who was employed by the ecclesiastical authorities of the Church of Ireland.

Without those assurances, however ambitious I might have been of the high honour of becoming your Representative, the expression of even a wish on my part would have been presumptuous and indecorous. But the moment your wishes were imparted to me the case became altered—that which, under other circum stances, would have been presumptuous, under those which existed becarne a duty. The event of the contest, which has just been announced to me, and the great trixiority by which I have been returned, have shewn that I have not mistaken it, and that those who assured me that the tender of my services would not be deemed unacceptable were correctly apprised of your sentiments. I well know the motives to which I am proud to ascribe the preference with which you have honoured me, and happy should I be if. I could flatter myself that any services which I can render you would justify it; but I am fully aware how much they must suffer by comparison with those which you have lost: and I can only hope that my zeal, with your indulgence, may enable me in some measure to compensate for what may be my other deficiencies. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and most faithful humble Servant, Welbeck, March, 21, 1824. TITCHFIEL D. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

I avail myself of this the earliest opportunity to return my sincere Thanks to the numerous and kind Friends who came forward in my favour on that.occasion ; and at the same time gratefully to acknowledge the Many flattering assurances I have received of that additional support on the next Vacancy, which previous engagements prevented my being honoured with at the last. Having already submitted to you the public grounds upon which I presented myself before you as a Candidate for the honourable situation of an East India Director, it only remains to for me now t o renew my exertions to secure your confidence and your su p port, and repeat my pledge. of going to the Ballot on the first Vacancy.

His body was given to the Sur geons foftlisseetion. - • . Earl SOMERS presented a petition from Leominster, pray ing for the Abolition of Slavery- in the Went Indies. Petitions to the same effect were presented by Lord ELLENWOROIJOH, from Downton; in the County of Wilts, and by Earl FtTx- WILLIAM, from places the names of which were not heard; by the Marquis of LANSDOWN, from Devonport, (late Plymouth dock,) Bridport, and Tunbridge. IRISH TITHES. • Lord CLIFDEN presented several petitions from different parts of Ireland, against the Tithe Composition Act. Every one of these petitions objected to the introduction of any com pulsory clause, if the re-enactment of such a measure should be contemplated. He heartily concurr ed with t he petitioners; but, lest he should be charged with inc onsiste ncy for having last was year moved he had fora been co d e t f n ea p t u e l d s o n r n y t c h l a a t u es clause, "Notliing could , mast say that he be more unfair than the mode of striking the averages, Th e Noble Lotd then recapitulated the substance of the several pe titions, one of which, from a parish in the county of Limerick, complained that there was no resident curate, and that the parish church was in a ruinous state ; another from lablerry; m the county of Cork, complained that " the church was not only ruinous,: but going to decay." The Earl of KINGSTON presented a-petition against the same bill, from Brigdoon, in the count of Cork, and another from Ballyloch, also in the county of Cork. The Noble Earl made some observations on the subject of this petition, frOm which it appeared that it related to a dispute with the Rector of the parish, Dr. Woodivard, respecting a composition for his tithes. A vestry meeting had been called to consider of the subject, at which the Doctor proposed that he should have 2,0001. a year for his tithes. The meeting objected to paying more than the tithes of the parish were worth, the amount of *bich was calculated at 1,4001. a year. The Rector had let his tithes in 1809, for 1,6001. a year, and it was stated that he pro posed at the meeting to take the same sum ; but the Noble Earl, who was himself present all the time, declared that he never heard such an offer made. The disagreement respecting the composition terminated in the Rector intimating that he would recover his tithes by course of law. The meeting had therefore to expect, that a man called " The cruel Delany," the most rapacious tithe-proctor in Ireland, would be employed in the collection. The Bishop of LIMERICK observed, that the petition was erroneous in several of its statements. He did not mean to say that the Noble Lord who brought it forward had been guilty of the least mis-statement as to what came under his own observa tion, but, from his personal knowledge of Dr. Woodward, who contradicted the statements, he was confident there must be some mistake. The statement respecting the year 1803 being referred to for the value of the tithes, was wrong. The Rector had said, that if that settlement were proposed to him for the benefit of the parish, he would accede. It had been agreed that three farmers in each town-land should assess the tithes.— ; These farmers were to pay among them 1,0001. a year; and the rest was to be raised in the usual mode of tithes ; but this agreement was set aside in consequence of a failure on the part of the farmers. In pursuance of the Act of Parliament, the Hector applied to the parish for a composition, and asked 2,0001. a year, but he expressed his readiness to take 1,6001. ' If the Noble Earl said he did not hear him, it was certain he did not ; but that was no contradiction of the fact. For his own part, he must say that it sometimes happened that many things were said in his presence which lie did not hear, and he supposed that the Noble Lord was on this occasion in the same situation. He had received a letter from Dr. Woodward on the subject, which lie would read. [Here the Right Reve rend Prelate read a letter, which corroborated the statements he had made.] Dr. Woodward was anxious to defend him self against a charge which had been brought against him in a way which, he must say, was inconsistent with the spirit of the British Constitution. It was sapping the law, of the country in the very place whence those laws proceeded, since their first principle was, that every man must be held innocent until he was proved guilty. Ile would wish Noble Lords to take care, that charges which they brought forward against persons who could not defend themselves in that place, were well grounded. The accusation in the present case was particularly unjust; for a more pious, mild, and assiduous clergyman than Dr. Wood ward, was not to be found. His upright and gentle conduct had secured him the affection of the poor ; and if the people of his parish were called to give evidence respecting this Rector, they would say that they never had a more worthy clergyman among them ; they would, he was sure, express as strong an at tachment to him as to the gentry of the country. The ques tion of the composition would have been settled without diffi culty, if it had not been for persons who were interested in re sisting the arrangement, and who wished to throw the great burden of the tithes on the poor, instead of placing i t Oil the shoulders of the landlords, where it ought to be laid,' The Earl of KINGSTON hoped he should be permitted to say a few words, in reply to what had fallen fro m the R i ght Rev. Prelate. He was not surprised at the manner in which the Right Rev. Prelate had taken up this subject, as he was confident no Act had ever passed that House which the clergy liked better than this Tithe Composition Act. It had the effect of producing a great addition to the income of the church, and that, indeed, not at the eapence of the farmer, or all classes generally, but solely at that of the land lords. On them the whole burden fell. In consequence of this Act, he had now to pay 168/. in tithes for his grounds.— He had stated the circumstances which occurred at the vestry, some of which the Right Rev. Prelate contradicted on the au thority of Dr. Woodward's letter. The Right Rev. Prela t e was pleased to suppose that he might not have heard the Doc tor's offer ; now he must say that he was not farther from that Reverend Person than the breadth of their Lordships' table, and he would declare on his honour that he never heard him offer to,take 1,600/. As to the mode of collecting the tithes, it was on record, and on this subject he would refer their Lord ships to proceedings which had taken place before the Castle byde magistrates. The Marquis of LANSDOWN was perfectly - unaware of the circumstance which had become the subject of discussion, e.td therefore was not competent to give an' opinion on' the compensation which might be proper in this case ; but he was induced to rise in consequence of the observation made by the Right Reverend Prelate in the latter part of his speech ; noticing which, he begged to say that the few words oT com ment he had to offer would be made with a sincere respect, both for the station and the personal character of the Right Reverend Prelate. It had been argued that the exertions of the landed Proprietors to prevent the Commutation Act from being carried into effect were made for the purpose of casting the burden off their own shoulders, and placing it on the poor. Now their Lordships would remember what had passed on this subject last year. He had shown that dispute of this kind would arise when that just influence to which parties were entitled was exercised. If it was supposed that this Act was intended to prevent persons from exercising that just influence which the law and the constitution gave them—and God forbid that he should defend any unlaw ful influence—then it would be one of the most monstrous laws ever passed by a legislative assembly. He would ask their Lordships whether they were not aware what the object of the Act was ? Was it not to divide the burthen equally ? He was one who felt it to be his duty to point out the intended compul sory measure as one of the greatest interferences with the tight of property ever attempted. To call on persons who held pro perty tithe-free under the authority of an Act of Parliament— an authority equal to that on which the claim of the Church was founded, to part with their property, was, in his opinion, most unreasonable, and so he had' at the time stated it to be.— The answer given was, that the compulsion, as applied to those persons exclusively, would be unjust, and therefore the means of making effectual resistance was to be given them by a num ber of votes. On this ground, then, he was warranted in say ing, that these persons only exercised a right of 'Voting to which they were legally entitled. Calls might be made on them for sacri fices, and he himself might be disposed to advise such sacrifices, but they were to be made only at their own discretion ; and for making them or nOt they were accountable solely to themselves. To make individuals in the situation he 'had described liable to absolute compulsion, would be most unjust; it would be a breach of all the rights of property, 'and a vielation of princi ples which their Lordships' House, as the chief guardian of property, never could sanction. There were, he hoped, many instances of willingness on the part of proprietors to make sa crifices without any necessity for the exercise of compulsion. — He bad said this much, because it was most desirable that the arrangement contemplated by the bill should be fairly carried into effect, hut he deprecated any thing like partiality, or the appearance of injustice. The•Bishcrp of LIMERICK said , th eir Lordships must . be aware that he had not taken uponliimself to impute any . The Earl OTHARROWBY would not follow the observa tions of the Noble -Lord who had just sat down, but would merely say, that if the Irish tithe proctor was to be brought to the blir, .exhibited there, lie hoped he would be accom• pitied by the stewards of the landlords. As to what had fallen from the Noble Marquis, he must observe, that in corn. ,pletely exculpating the landlords who assembled at the vestry of I.3allyloch, from the charge of acting illegally, he had its the same breath exculpated the clergyman for proposing to his parishioners the ttrms he was willing to accept. Whether the terms were unreasonable or not, he was entitled to pro pose them. The Legislature had given to him that right, as well as to the landlords the right of objection. He hail always hoped that both parties would concur in carrying the Act into effect, for the sake of the pea'ce and tranquillity of the country ; but what he particularly regretted was, that both here and elsewhere the names and characters of indi viduals should be made free with, and often when they had nothing to do with the point in discussion. Whether Dr. Woodward asked too little or too much for his tithes, was not a question for their Lordships' decision : the House had no concern ' with it whatever. He was sorry, also, to hear a person in the situation of life of a tithe proctor stigmatized as the individual alluded to had been. Did their Lordships consider, that in con sequence of what passed in that House, the term " Cruel Delany" would go forth to every part of the United Kingdom ? It was most unjust to stigmatize the character of any indi• vidual in this manner. He certainly excused the Noble Lord's mentioning the name in his speech, for be was confident no harm was intended by him. This he said . with the same can dour which he hoped would excuse him for calling their Lord ships' attention to the subject. The Earl of CLARE said a few words in favour of the petition. The Earl of KINGSTON would be sorry to bring forward unjust charges, or cast imputations on any. It was not he who christened the tithe-proctor "the Cruel Delany." The rector gave bins that name himself ; and he could assure their Lordships that nothing which might be said of that person in their Lordship's House would do him any harm. The Earl Of LIMERICK was Chairman of the Committee in which the• Commutation Bill originated, and it certainly' never was the intention of the Committee that it should con tain any thing injurious to the landed proprietors of Ireland. In his opinion, it would be most unjust and mischievous if it were compulsory. The Earl of lIA R ROWBY explained. Earl GROSVENOR thought it was impossible that the tithe proctors should not act in a prejudiced manner. It was impossible any individual connected with the Bishops' Courts could act impartially. The Noble Earl then described the manner in which the Bishop's Court is constituted, over which, he observed, a clergyman appointed bi the Bishop always presides. Lord CLIFDEN called the attention of the House to'the unjust manner in which tithe proctors act, with_ respect to the tithes of the Irish peasantry. When the peasant Inys out hia tithe in kind, the proctor refuses to tell him the value, bediuse lie wishes to extort a money tithe. If the peasant be cited to the Ecclesiastical Court, he comes before a tribunal, where the tithe-receiver is both judge and jury. Courts of this descrip tion exist in two.thirds of the dioceses, and the clergy generally resist the taking of tithes in kind. ihe state of Ireland with respect to the church was melancholy ; at most only half a million, out of a population of 7,300,000, belonged to the Esta blishment. Ireland was in a similar situation to Scotland before the revolution. In that country there were assassina tions too. Archbishop Sharp was assassinated, and the people fought up to their knees in blood in resistance to the church which was imposed upon them. But King William settled the question in Scotland, and that country had since continued in a state of tranquillity and peace. The great misfortune of Ireland was, as he had on form& occasions said, that She had two churches to maintain. This was a subject to which he had often alluded, and which he thought it his duty still to ring in their Lordships' ears. The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded the House that the only question before them was, whether the petition should be laid on the table. After a few words from Lord CALTNoUrE, in vindication of the character of Dr. Woodward, the petition was laid on the table.. The Eitri of KINGSTON said, he had another petition to present to their Lordships of a different nature. It was from an individual named George Bailey, and complained of the misappropriation of the funds left by the will of an ancestor of his (Lord Kingston's) for the relief of the poor Protestant in habitants of Mitchelstown. The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the petition be ing received; on the ground that it complained of a breach of trust, which was cognizable in a court of justice. After a short conversation, in which the !Marquis of Lams- DOWN, the Bishop of Li stEnicx, and Lord KINGSTON took part, the petition was read and rejected. Eorl GROSVENOR gave notice of his intention to move for a Return of the reduced Salary of the Clerk of the Pella in Ireland. The Earl of DARNLEY said, he had intended to have pre sented a petition to their. Lordships - on the important subject of the Tithe Commutation Bill, but as the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury was not in his place, he would postpone it till Illonday.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Certain Accounts of a public nature were presented by a person from the Treasury.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. GIPPS named Monday next for bringing forward his motion relative to the employment of Agricultural Labourers, which stood for yesterday. CHELTENHAM On the Second Reading of the Cheltenham Water Works Bill, Sir T. LETHBRIDGE proposed that it be read a second time this day six months. He stated that the Bill originated in certain persons possessing a portion of idle capital, and strangers to the place, but whose labours were destined for great injury to the neighbouring pioprietors of land. • Sir J. YORKE seconded the amendment. It was strange, he said, that this new want of fresh water was just discovered in a place hitherto frequented solely for its salt water. But it certainly was exceedingly hard that a number of floating capi- talists should go down to this flourishing county to lay the whole neighbourhood dry.—(A laugh.)—A friend of his, who had de rived some flowery meads from his ancestors, complained that the floating gentry would leave them as dry as the daserts of Siberia. Mr. C. SMITII supported the amendment. Mr. GORDON spoke in favour of the Bill going into a. Committee, when it would be seen that the allegations against it were not tnie. Lord EDWARD SOMERSET and Sir EDWARD KITATCII.- BULL supported the Bill. Sir Wu. GUISE opposed the further progress of the Bill. After a few words from Mr. PELnArti, Mr. J. PITT, Mr. BRoODEN, and Sir J. GRAHAM, the gallery was cleared for a division. _ _ For the Second Reading - - Againat it - Alajority in favour of the Second Reading PETITIONS. 25 -70 A petition was presented from Bridgewater, praying for the total abolition of Slavery. • • Sir W.
