PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, MAT 6. Mr. HOLMES and others from the Commons brought up the United Gas Light Company Bill, and several private Bills, which were read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition from Salisbury, praying for a General Bill for the recovery of Small Debts.—Laid on the table. BILLS. The Public Works Exchequer Bill, the Crown Debts Re covery Bill, the Militia Pay Bill, the Rum Importation Duty Bill, the Sugar Bounties Bill, the British Museum ßill, the Hyde Park Corner Improvement Bill, were read a second time. SEPARATISTS. Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition (similar to those received yesterday) from the Separatists resident in London, praying that their solemn affirmation might be received instead of an oath. His Lordship did not intend to propose any mea sure on the subject, but understood that the Separatists, though few in number, were a highly re s p ec t a bl e c l ass of people. The Petition was then read and laid on the table. SILK TRADE. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition from the Silk Manufacturers and Throwsters of the City of DUhlin, com plaining of the existing . restrictions upon the Silk 'Trade, and stating that their sufferings under those 'restrictions compelled them to leave their parishes, and to seek employment else where.—Read and laid on the table. HYDE-PARK CORNER. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from William Cob bett-against the Bill before the House for improving the Road near Hyde-park Corner. The petitioner particularly objected .to the Preamble of the Bill as containing false alleg ations. He (Lord Holland) • was friendly to th e o bje ct o f the Bill, but in order that the subject should•be duly inquired into, should move that the petition should 'be referred to • the Committee on the Bill.—Ordered. - Viscount CLIFDEN presented a - petition' from the parish of St. Patrick, in the City of Kilkenny, 'praying for an altera tion in the Tythes' System.—Laid on the table. NEWFOUNDLAND. The Order of the Day having been reed" for going Into a Committee on the Newfoundland Judicature Bill, Earl - BATHURST said that he had adopted the suggestion of the Noble Baron opposite (Lord Holland) and divided-the :Bill into two, one of which would relate Solely to the admini stration of justice, and the other to the celebration of marriage :in Newfoundland. He also proposed to nlake considerable alterations in the provisions of the' measure. As they stood in the Bill before the House, the Circuit Courts were to try all criminal cases with a Jury, fast not civil ones. He should now propose to extend the trial by Jury to civil cases. When a sufficient number of individuals should not be - found to form a Jury, the Judge and three Assessors would try the case in cri minal cases, no-person to be found guilty unlesi the Judge and two:Assseisors should be agreed as to his guilt. In civil cases, the Judge should decide without any 'assessors and an-appeal would lie in the Supreme Court at St. John's. 'The appeal,- in deed, would lie both in criminal and in civil cases; but whilst in the former it would embrace questions of, taet and l aw , i n the latte r it wou ld b e con fi ne d to ques tio n s of law. Lord HOLLAND offered his acknowledgments to the Noble Earl, for having adopted his suggestion as to the division Of the Thenmendments also seemed to be on the best principle, but he suggested the propriety of the asseisOr4 performing en tirely the 'functions of Jurors (in the absence of a sUfficient number of persons to form a Jury), and giving a verdict sepa rate from the Judge , instead of one in conjunction with him. Improved as the-Bill had been however, it vas not yet such a one as would answer all purposes. Thateould only be done by the establishment of a Constitutional Assenibly. Earl BATHURST was understood to say, that the condi tion of Newfoundland was not fit for a Constittitional As sembly, and that he should always oppose the establishment of one. He also thought that to allow the ASsessers to act entirely as Jurors, would be to introduce a new plinth ' pie in the administration of Justice, without knowing where it might stop. Lord HOLLAND observed, that ingenuiti ?tight easily ob- . , vista the difficulty, by finding some other name for them which should neither be that of Assessors nor Jurors. The House having then resolved itself into a Coin - unlace, amend ments BATHURST move d var io us amendents to s h'ee't the alterations which he had proposed. They were agreed to, and the first Bill was ordered to be Called, " An Act for the better Administration of Justice in Newfoundland. 7...- : With respect to the second Bill, to regulate the Celebration of Marriage in the same Colony, the Noble Earl said that he should only propose the amendments now, move that they be printed, and then fix Tuesday next for explaining their nature , to the House. This having been agreed to, the House reSumed, the Report was received, and the amended Bill ordered to be printed. Lord STANLEY and others from the Commons, brought up 'mural private Bills, which were read a first time.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. .• STANDING ORDERS. On a petition for ~.;;,071ailirra,;;; K a;- --o " Bill, a discus. sion arose respecting the Standing Orders which provide f or Notices on Private Bill s , I t was proposed to suspend those Standing Orders on account of the emergency of the case. This suspension was opposed by Mr. BRIGHT, who said, that the frequent applications for suspensions of this nature rendered the Orders nugatory. The Suspension was opposed also by Mr. Alderman Smith, Mr. H. Sumner, Sir James Graham, General Gascoyne, and Mr. Alderman Heygate ; and supported by Mr. Lawley and Mr. Ellice ; but the petition for the Bill was withdrawn, in consequence of the opposition. Mr. BRIGHT then proposed a Resolution, declaring that the House would abide by the Sta ndirig Orders, unless in ex. treme cases ; but he at length withdrew the Resolution. CITY BONDS'. Mr. Alderman WOOD obtained leave to bring in Bills to enable the City of London to reduce the Interest of their Debt, by raising money to pay it off. Col. DAWKINS presented a petition from Lynn against the Sunderland Coal Bill.—Ordered to lie on the table. JOINT STOCK COMPANIBS": Sir JOHN NEWPOIt'r moved the second reading of the Royal Hibernian Mines Bill. Mr. HUSKISSON objected to the Bill, as proposing altera tions of the.law ; and (against bur constitutional policy) favour ing the creation of Joint Stock Companies. If the House were to grant incorporations to all persona who, as traders chose to ask for them, they would alter the whole of th e Commercial Law.. If persons chose to engage in speculation they must do so at the risk of bankruptcy, S m . un d er a ll the liabilities 'which attend individuals. There were no less than four Bills similar to the preser.i. before the House; - and he should object to every one of them if they contained clauses like this. Sir JOAN NEWPORT said- the objection -of the Right Hon.. Gentleman, if it were good, applied to every Canal Corn. pug, and ninny other companies: The Bill might be altered and be less.objeetionable as it went on. _ELLICE agreed in the observations .f the Right 'lan. Gentleman, (Mr. Huskisson), and recommended that Minis. tens should clearly state what views they had ore these subjects, to save many 'parties the expence of applying to Parliament, without. souT.ctis. Mr. I)AWSON thought the general objection did not ap. ply to the present Bill, which was to encourage the transfer of British caeital to Ireland. Sir J. NEWPORT then postponed his motion for the second reading of. the Bill. Lord STANLEY moved the second reading of the Equitable Loan Bill. _ _ r.IIIiSKISSON took the'same objection to this Bill as to the last.; and after a few words from Mr. D. Baownr, the second reading was postponed. Mr. J. SMITII presented a petition from the Australian Company, praying that they might be incorporated. On the motion for referring the petition to a Committee', General GASCOYNE opposed the motion on the ground stated by Mr: Huskisson. Mr. HUSKISSON said, he did not object to its being re ferred to a Committee. Mr. J. SMITH supported /he motion.. The:Company, he said, had a laudable object in view-, principally the cultivatiiin of wool grown in New South Wsiles, which was the finest in the world. Sir ISAAC COFFIN opposed the motion. The SPEAKER said, the Stinding Orders as , to tlie notio; did not apply to Bills likeLthat whith'vra's ttritenipl*d'by the ' petition. It was a sessional order only which stood in its 'way which sessional order merely limited the time for bringing in Private Bills. General CT ASCOYNE Withdrew his opposition, and the pe tition was then referred to a C omm i ttee. ST. KATHERINE'S DOCK. Mr. Alderman WOOD Pres'ented a petition from the Water mens' Company against the Katherine's Dock Bill ; and ano ther against the Thames Tunn e l 'Bill .— R e f erre d to the Com mittee on the Bills. Mr. Alderman HEY GATE - presented a petition from several Inhabitants of St. Katherine's against the St. Katherine's Dock Bill. They stated that only seven persons res id ent i n t h at dis trice had signed the petition i n f avour o f t h e Bill ; th a t th e House ha& therefore been imposed upon, and they prayed that the subject might be inquired into. Lord STANLEY -observed to the Hon. Member for Sus sex; 'that this practice aPpeared not to be confined to the Nor them Counties as that Hon: Member had inferred on a former occasion. - After a few words from . Mr. CURTEIS, the petition, and a similar one from the Armburers and Braziers Company were referred to the Committee on the Bill. EXCISE LICENSEE. petition from Stockport against the M E r c E i , G e t T License ONDpitr Duty, presented a and another to the same effect from Runcome. BEER DUTY. • Mr. FORRESTER presented a petition from Wenlock against the Beer Duty. Mr. RUSSELL, presented a petition from Saltash against Negro Slavery. POOR LAWS. Mr. GOOCH presented a petition from a Clergyman in -Suffolk, praying for the Amendment of the Poor Laws, by finding employment for labourers.—The same Hon. Gentle man presented several petitions from Suffolk against Negro Slavery; one against the Wool Duty; one against the Bond ing of foreign Wheat, and one against Excise Licenses. - Mr. MILLS presented a petition from Warwick against the Eitise Licence Duty. •Mr. 3IANSFIELD presented a petition from the Tanners of Leicester against the Ilides'and Skins Bill.

Mr. DA',% SON presented several papers relating to a Correspondence between the Admiralty and certain Naval Officers. Sir AbEXANDER 'HOPE' presented tion from lithgtsw, praying for a Repeal of the 'restrictions on the Spirit Trade. Sir R. FERGUSSON 'presented a petition from. several Brewers'of Fife, complaining of the present regulation of the Beer Duty. Sir W. GUISE presented a petition from Clifton against the Assessed Taxes. Qt TAKER 'TESTIMONY. lard JOHN BUSSEI A L presented a petition from certain QUakeis of a place in Ireland, the name of which we did not hear, 'praying that they might be placed on the same footing, and have the same legal privileges as the rest of their fellow. subjects. Sir. HUME 'supported the petition, obseriring, that the Quakers were in general a praiseworthy people. In JO• years there had been. he baieved, but one proseeution against a Quaker for a false affirmation in a Court of Justice. - Sir JOHN NEWPORT 'al;io supported the petition. Mr. Secretary CANNING. said he did not propose oing into any argument of the general question ; but tie could not for bear observing that he thoUght there were many difficulties in the way of pressing any measure for the benefit of persons whose religious opinions were correspondent with those of the petitioners. If a general law were passed in their favour, any person who declined taking an oath ; had only to declare he was a Quaker, and thus Many abuses would necessarily follow. Even if this difficulty were removed, he did. not see hosvutitey could yield to persOns of the' `sect called Quakers, and after wards refuse to yield to any other sect, the members of which should think Proper 'to decline taking an oath. Lord JOHN RUSSE LL said he did not feel the force of the first objection raised, by the Right lion. Secretary. The Socie ty of Friends had lists of their members ;- and the : fact of -be ing or not bdng a member could always be ascertained with out difficUlty. Ss to the Second objection" he certainly thought religious scruples to take an oath, ought be indulged s at wereQ takers attended w ere in all persons. not to. o lle b u l o y i persons yeh * h b o l s r a . S r . 6 j o C I ! s s c a r i said t i l e ) oath adi tt i nist e r ok to Moravians and Socinians had been altered, frinil the usual forin. Quakers, however, were disabled from giving evidence in Courts of Justice on the most iniportant: occasions, Mr. J:WILLIA3III said he Was determined to persevere in his attempts to indUct Parliament to allow of Quaker testi mony in all cases. lie sho u ld renew the Bill he had brought in last Session. BE ER DUTY.. N s l h r t . e P w . sb C u O u lt , B a E g ' a f in p s r t theesencli t a p et i t i on from the Innkeepers ofPresent regulations of the Beer Duty. , Lord lIELGRAVE supported the prayer of the Petition ; and hoped the Beer Bill would not be persevered in by the Right li on. Gentleman. , , • ~ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Said he would have no objection to postpone the Bill to-morrow, •if it should come on at an unseasonable hour. Be had no iiish to prevent its receiving the fullest consideration. Mr. P'. CORBET presented a Petition from the Tanners of ShreWibury against the Hides and Skins Bill. • Mr. STANLE Y presented two Petition' from Manchester against the Regulations of the Beer Duty. The above Petitions were ordered to lie on the table and be printed, , • Lord ENNISMORE presented a petition from the High Sheriff and Landed Proprietors of the County of Cork,. against the 'removal of the, Linen. Duties. The Noble Lord deprecat ed this measure as .o - ne of bad policy and injustice. .• . Mr. C. H. HUTCH.INSON supported the petition. The Linen Trade had been more conducive to the growth of in.. dustry in Ireland than any other occupation of the natives of that country. . - 1 - • Mr. DO:IIINICK BROWN bore testimony to the value of this bianch of trade tO.lreland. • Mr. DENNIS BROWN protested against any interference,- , with the linen trade. They might be assured th a t thi s wa s not the last step with respect to that trade, but the first which was to lead to. others of a most. lamentable description. Mr. BAGWELL supported the petition. Mr. W. BECHER, said, that if .the time for withdrawing the bountiei could be protracted, it would be productive of the Most beneficial effects. The petition was then read, and ordered to be printed. Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from the Brewers Of Burton-npon-Trent, against the Beer Duties.—Ordered to be printed. - . . . . .

Mr; Secretaty CA NNINO said, that op a recentevening an Hiirf."FAeild" of - his'had vtit a questio n to hitn resp' ectinithe amount of the French naval force at Rio Jamie°. lie (Mr. Cantthigyhad it'thitt time stated' that he had no doubt that the reportiliihibli had been circulated on the subject were destitute of foundation,' but - that he hoped, in the course of a few day:;; to haire 'the pleasii'e'bf coinixiuniCating to the House more ac curate 'infoimation respecting - it. Since that time he had re. aired' the' most satisfactory explanations froin the Trench Goteinfnent;"'who'had e accOunterifor every ship 6f war that had been sent out of chop** of France, and shewn their various, : destinations. At the time to' which. his Ron. Friend had al. luded, instead of eisht, there were only two French nieu.of war at Rio Janeiro ; one of which was on its way home. It was also proper to observe, that there were two English,linF of-battle ships on the station in question ; and it might be sit tisfactory to the House further to.know, that, although not the' slightest ground existed for apprehension of any kind what ever, there was not a naval r aituation in the world on which tlie force of this country did not completely outnumber that of ari7 • other.—(Heal, hear, hear !) ' '1 SALT DUTY. Mr. CALCRAFT asked whether it was the intention of the. lion. Gentleman opposite to bring forward his motion relative. to the Salt Duties that evening. . .

IRELAND. lie was aware., 'he said, that a motion on the *abject of the Church Establishment of Ireland would be far better managed: in any hands . than in his ;.for his opinion& on the subject of the Clergy were such that be did not expect the House would• go along with him. There was not one person in that House. who was not mote interested in the subject than he was ; yet such was the general unwillingness to meddle with the utatter, that he was left to proceed with it himself. In doing this lie felt that he must draw largely upon-their patience. Ile was satis fied that the extent and situation of the Church Establishment of Ireland were worse than was supposed,and lie had not spared labour in his endeavours to make that apparent, and discover the cause of it. He had looked into every public document, and obtained local information by applying to those who were on the spot. The public and. private history of Ireland .proved that it was absolutely necessary that some alteration in the Government of that country must take place. He had care fully examined the situation of every .country, and was satis. fled that no people on the face of the globe were in so lament. able a situation. as the people of Ireland, under the British Government. ' They had formerly had different laws to govern them,, but these had been placed .at the disposal of this •coun. try, and none of ' the. nrnelioration held out at the time of the union had been effected. Every advantage that could induce .a . people to. accept the alternative had been promised.— The causes which -kept up this lamentable state of things were not limited to one, two, or three. .They were various and many. He had beenainable.to vote for the motion of his Hon; Friend (Mr. Maberley).the other night, because he thought it only a palliative fora limited period to a limited district. Bad as the security in Ireland was; whatever loans had been advanced to that country, he conceived. they were lent with great danger to the possessors, But what must that country think of its situa tion, when it was seen that our. Capitalists would advance their money to any people on the face of the globe rather than to _the Irish ? And was not this enough to• show that palliatives would not do in this case, buttliat the remedy must be applied to the root of the evil. The only ' means found- sufficient for the tranquilization of Scotland some time agoeswhen it was in the same . state as Ireland now is, was the grant ing them their religion, which- belonged - to the majority of the peopte, and the establishment of schools of morality. Let his Majesty's Government then place Ireland upon the same footing, and lie would, answer for her prosperity._ There would net be an acre uncultivasSl e and what did they get by not adopting this course ? The . people of Ireland were I not disloyal to the Goiernment, but only dissatisfied with the Institutions under which they laboured. lie had turned the ' question in his mind over and over again, and he could not for .the life of hirn see why the Irish should be less affected to England than to any other country, provided they had the full enjoyment of their liberty, civil and religious. Man was I naturally disposed to quiet, and he had _never found an Irish man out of iris own country any thing but a peaceable and in dustrious citizen. These was plenty. of capital ready to flow into Ireland the moment the security of quiet was provided ; and if this was obstructed by the state of the Church Esta blishment,: ought they not to. aniendit ? Ile.drew an example for this .case from foreign countries, among which the into lerant ones. would be . found in the wo rs t c ondition. lie had a H s i, o f m i as ma and intolerant nations, and was sorry to say that England was one of the, latter. .

But in Atte United States of America any martof any sect, political or religious, was eligible to office, and the Right lion. Secretary for • Foreign Affairs would tell them that the American Government was not wanting in acute nets.. Why then could not the . same latitude be extended to the religious sects of this country ?: habeas Corpus aril Insur rection acts were the fruits of the system of governing Ire land. The 'laws formerly in force relating to the •Catholics were good for the time, but a change olcircumstances rendered their repeal now necessary. Fire and the sword raged frora one end of the country to the.other. No man could go to bed there without first seeing that his doors and windows were se cured as against a storming party of the enemy. And was this, he asked, a.pmper state of things to be allowed to continue ? - Was it at all surprising that there should .be absentees from such a country.; for what man would, stop where his throat was in danger every hour? Property was nothing without the en ' jeyment of it. If Government would go the length he wished, and were to fail, he should be the first to arm them with suffi. dent powers to suppress . confusion. Prance, Russia, Prussia, Westphalia s and Saxony, were tolerant states. Ireland had a better soil and better climate, and her sons were shrewd, ho nest, and industrious; yet, what was her situation compared • even with those countries ? There were obstacles he knew to changing .the established religion. They were told . that the King's Coronation Oath forbade him to alter the established religion. But he could, through his Parliament, make any alteration he pleased, and it ,was their daily practice to alter laws which in his opinion were less deserving alteration than this. , It was sufficient that the King, having taken an oath, should be a sufficient obstacle to effecting a great.putilie good. They had a rich Church, it was said ; and he had often asked 'what was meant by the word Church, without being able-to get an answer: When they talked of an army they didnot mean the officers only ; so when they talked of &particular church, they meant the cengregration as well as the ministers. For what reason was, any - particular religion established F He should like. to see England in the same situation as the United States, ' altboughhe would not propose so far to interfere with received opinions as toeffectsuch a change now. But whyehe would ask, did the Government change the established religion of Ireland, which was Catholic, to Protestant? He verily believed that it. had been the intention of King William to establish the Ca tholic religion in Ireland. He founded this notion upon. that re.; corded. expression of King William, " You are to pass an Act in favour of that religion which is most agreeable to the people." This intention would actually have proceeded to its operation, .had it not been for.an accident of time.. The institutions of a country ought to lie.foi the benefit of the many, and not of the the few, ass? .has obviously the - case in Ireland. It was .then time for them to come to some sound principles in morals-and in Government as they-were disposed to, do in Commerce— He could not but express surprise that Ireland hadendured the evil solongs lie, however, had no wish to see .a change brought about by violence. What he desired was, to see a system of conciliation.acted upon to unite all classes in attachment to this , country, .and to hopsove the condition of those wbohad long , been regarded by many as aliens to civilization. If those rights were_not conceded, which he contended 'the people of Ireland might justly claim, peculiar privileges ought to be granted to that . country., Measures ought to be takento cause that.ca.pi tal which now lay stagnant here, to flow in the direction of Ireland. They ought to do as they were called upon to do in that book by which they. professed to regulate our conduct; o they, ought to.do to others as they would be done unto." He called upon Ministers, as Chrstians and as men, to act upon that principle, and not to.leave 6,000,000 of their fellow-crea tures an that degraded state in which the people of Ireland were now. seens and in which they must continue till some. chahge were effected. He wished that to be done from policy, and with kindness, which, if this advice were neglected, they might one day be forced to do from necessity. He called upon the House to ,look, at the effects of the present system. Formerly the Catholics in Ireland, compared with the Protestants, were ..Is. five to one. From this ,state of things they had gone. on iv"; a Proteetant s Established. Church, assisted by. every. TA which, wealth and power could supply. There Were' and 18 benefices in Ireland. There were four Archbishops a BiehCps making 22 Bishops altogether. There weie . s4 'p ea cons, 180 Dignitaries, 172 Prebendaries ; in short -there.were altogether 512' individuals connected with the Established " Church in Ireland. Hera' was a :tart in favour of the Church. The number of persons be had mentioned to a Protestant pa pulation of 500,000, Wei not small. There was, it might beeald, ',a eequent to his ten. From the latent returns it appeared the population or Ireland. amounted to from Gto 7,000,000. , ITalc, mg the number to be 6,500,000, he had a right toassume that 2,000;1100- were Roman Catholics. It would be in the recolet , tumi of the House that Dr.. Adam Smith had said, " the Clergy to be _idle And useless you must pay them well, but rf y • ou . wished them to be industrious and useful, pay therisAwhtit was absoltitelY necessary and no more." 'l` his had been ex emplified:in the hiStery of Ireland for the Clergy of the ;testa- Church, begiunim.; with the start and the meant ofstshich be had: spoken, were SO far from keeping pace with their. scan - . tily paid rivals, thitt . the Catholics in Ireland, from being four or-fire to one, - were now believed to be about fourteen to one. He would now . inqUire' what the s tart h a d cost . H e::wou ld take the most correct statements: which- he could procure; but he believed he might quote here with truth the opinion expressed in no fewer .than three letters which he had received that day on ,the sobject—". That no private-iricilvidiaals knew What the llicorne of the Mirth of Ireland really was." :Is was however caletilittedthat the Chtirch property, if rented out in `lreland by individuals, would produce annually 2,500,0001.— , The ntitriber of ltishaeres WhiCh the Church-land comprehend ed 14 , 46.14,000,000. These, if let mat hy individuals, would, it was thought, give an'annual income of two Millions ands half. Whether this went to A. 8., the Bishops, or to C. and D., the sons and nephews of the Bishops, was of no conseqaence, 'es it must be regarded in either case as giVen to individuals con nected with theClturch., an average of 35 parishes, the benefices had been fotind ,to prOduce from 7001. to 8001. zi,year each. He would take the 1,2139 benefices to average 5001., which he thought a MOderate calculation, and adding these to the :tart, the total cost of artily and staff of the' established Church in Ire land would be 3,2110,001. Notwithstanding all this, it had been seen that the Protesiants . lost ground, and were likely to do so. In some counties the increase of the Catholics over the Pro testants was surpri;:tingly great; Of this. au instance was found in the county of Watertbrd; where the_Catholics were now cal culated to be as forty to one. He proceeded to show what the Catholic Establishment bail been." There were twenty-six 'Bishops, four more than belonged to the Protestant Establish- Ment, but three had slender-irxcomes,as the.largest of them did not exceed 7001. per annum.. The 'Catholic Parish Priests might be abotit 2,500 - in number. NOW, if 1,500 Protestant Ministers were deemed necessary for the instruction of 500,000, it could hardly be contended that- 2,500 Priests were too many for 6,000,000 of Catitolics. The incomes of the Bishops were made up by donations in various ways, and being thus mode rately paid, the Catholie Clergy, were found attentive to their duty, while the conduct of the Ministers of the Church verified the maxim 'which held good in almoSt all cases, that the rich would not labour. To the different situations of the Clergy of the two religions, he the effects wjiich he had ptevi ouly noticed. He qtibted the opinions of Paley and Warburton in favour of 'tolerating the religion of the majority of a people, and thence argued in. favour lof doing so by the Catholic Church, without keeping up any other established Church in Ireland. Ile found the total number of parishes and benefices in Ireland amounted to 1,391. Besides these there were 223 livings in the gift of the Crown, arid the whole 1,614, he, in point of tact, regarded as held under the Crown, though this was not commonly said to be the case. He proceeded to notice the number of yrotegant resident ministers compared with the non-residents. FroM . the 'inquiries he had made, it re suited that there were 758 of the former, and 531 of the latter. NVhen such a number of the Established Church were non-resi dent, he put it to the House if the Catholics, who saw the whole of their ministers resident among them, could be other taint dissatisfied ? , On this subject he gave some further details from a volume which had been laid sefore the House in 1100, relating to Waterford and LiSmore. Ile hardly knew that it was worth while to call the attention of the house to the . Plu_ ralists of Ireland, but on these should say a word or two pre sently. He, however, would first give an additional instance of the rapid increase of the Catholics over the Protestants.— In the Cotinty of Waterford, in the year 1761, the number of Catholic families. there ' established was 16,519. The Pro testant fainibea were 1,859. In 1702 the Catholics had increas ed to 108,000, while the Protestants' were reduced to 1,375. Since 1792 they had continual .to decrease, and this circum stance alone he thOught would justify them in calling for artin quiry. White the Protestants continued to disappear from the diocese, could it he necessary to keep up the same Church. Establishment as TOrnierlY,. Suppose the whole of the Pro testants were to disappear,. he would ask, ought the same establishment to be 'maintained at an expence of 300,0001. sterling ? There must be A limit put to this at some time, or other, and the present he thought the fit period for. Parliamen tary interference. Ile.neticed the causes of those disturbances so frequent in Ireland, and traced them to those sources of ge neral irritation which he had alreadY spoken. The Catholics taxed to pay a clergy not resident among them, regarded the exaction as a robbery, and he should riot state the truth if he were dot to admit that he forrOne, placed in the situation of those unfortunate people, felt-Abet he should in all probability be as violent as any of them. lie must divest himself of htiman feeling before he could promise to do•otherwise. Before they could expect - a change in the conduct of the people of Irelana, they must effect a change in theirconditiom The Honourable Gentleman proceeded to describe what had come under his observation when lie visited Ireland, and insisted that it watt not to be expected that the ChurCh of England could keep its. ground while the present system was adhered to. In some in.. stances livings in Ireland were giren to the Chaplain& , of Peers and Peeresses. Now, in this country there was no living which a clergyman could not be found to accept, and .in Ireland he doubted not it was the same; and he therefore objected to bestowing such situations on those who could not perform the duties of them. Granted as they were, how could it be expected that they would be prOPerlY tilled ? lle then, referring to a volume pUblished in Pullin in 1820, called the :attention of the House to the livings and other benefits granted to different individuals., The first of these was the Rev. ander Archdeacon Louth: This Gentleman he described to have four rectories. Ile found that the . opinions which be entertained on this subject werenot,rieiv, and in proof of tWs he referred to a speech by Lord Dartnioutb, .whiCh he found in - the fifth volume of Burnet's Memoiii. This set forth, " We hear btttn three othing ofthe windividuals connected with the Church of Ireland had died who had pas , al much t o ll t others."of the povert yß y the of mchurches. bye, s l e found that sessed little property prior to their ecclesiastical promotion, but who .were enabled to leave to their successors no less than 800,0001. This sum had been left by three individitals. alone. Ile should suppress the names of the parties. He had sent for extracts from the probates of their wills-4A laugh)— but had not got them. If, therefore; there was any error in what he had stated, he was not to blame alone. While such scenes passed before their eyes, Could it be expected that the people •of Ireland would be content ? CoUld they know of Jodi viduals being thus enriched at their expence-, while they were the Abbots 3 famishing and in such distress as - to call forth the sympathies they as- Legislators to, allow such accumulations to t i e n n t i:d4a re of this country, much to its honbur, in their be l lalf th i ,,,e n : u h t a l thd o ; ia ll ittc : I the expellee of a people whoni hundreds and th 6141s h ri11 :e h h icarb e:tabl sinnent thee heard Much ually e wealth t d* I f o ‘ o c n r t subject d ex y p in r g ea f : d w u . e l T r e f :o a nl i t i i N l n y e o . b t e o lli L s e h o e rd °P 4 which ad iopinions s a. i 4,. f tees and - no "chur ch rs the goods of in ••the world was better provided/lir-se a the poverty of some churches, but nothing, ° others ;‘ but take it on the whole, and Deans—who were of no more liea to the relief of th p 0 ; 1 1 .
