Sir T. LETHBRIDGE,. in presenting some petitions of a •Toriter nature, said, he did not know the parties from whom . eame. He • received-letters requesting that he would offer them to the House, and he thought it his duty to do so. The. reae.iis• and arguments they cOntaincd appeared to him unan so..erable., He wished to take this opportunity dee:reed:l - g the: ..I.arge of a - I.:Idly he had brought against the country upon a former occasion.

Lord NUGENT' presented a petition from the Roman C. of Preston, "t; igan, and Liverpool, complain;; of their eeelusion from the rights of subjects, and-staling the peculiar hardships of their situation. The Noble Lord thought it would be emsally conducive to the interests of the petitioners-and re specaul to the House, to forbear from Making any fetrther eons rhents mpon the contents of the petition until to-morrow night, Ordered to lie on the table. BUBBLE ACT. Mr. P., MOORE postponed his motion respecting the 6th of f;,-orge. 1., until Monday next. PETITION' FOR REPE OF THE TEST ACT. Mr. BROUGHAM presented _a petition from the inhabitants of Great and Little Bolton, to which he begged to call t heat tedtion of the House.' It bore the signatures of many thousands of the inhabitants of Lancashire.- It made no particular refer eeee tome bill at present - before the . house upon the subject of what were called the C'atholic Claims. It complained ingeneral terns of the , hardship, of the injustiee e and the iamolley Of sub jeCtingin y class of persons to disability in =sequence of their religious opinions, arid prayedthat all ttnts should be done away. The prayer of this petition accorded perfectly with his own opi ni:Mst rtpon the subject, ex pressetti.epeatedly here and elsewhere. Ile held the same opinion with the.petitioncrs respecting all tests whatever. He thought they shOulti never be applied to-matters of religious belief; arid it was upon the principle of this general toleration that he supported the Catholics ; in their demands of those rights which should be granted to all. In his opinion, a man shuttle be no more accountable for his' religious opinions or-belief than heshould he for any mental feeling, or physical act: which he could not govern or controut The-conse quence of the tests was to make men hypocrites; they never trected an alteration of religious opinion. This being his des' wetted Opinion upon the subject,' he ryasboand to declare that lie had listened with sorrow, with pain, and. With bitter disap oehttment for a fern niinuteS to some of the. petitions . presented the Right Hen Gentleman opposite, and :the'Heitottrable illember for SoMersetshire, who were naly, it appea.i.s,• for the !hat time,• admitted to the confidence of thc - se. With whom the c-.yt:fions to which he - allneledneiginated. - It was impossible for express - feed in gs of - sorrOwe at,d of shame, wheti he Jeleeted upon the quarter from which these petitions caMes '.l'hat petitions of a certain description should be presented by , tna Hon. Member for Ken'tsthat - they should darken the floor, end cover the table, was not a matter asurprise ;:they were got trl in a manner perfectly regnlar,they were signed by the Deans, Archdeacons, Rectors, and Churchwardens. This was a regular cseiirse of things, and perfectly consistent with propriety; but-1 when heturned to the class - of.petitionera to nhom he now al-; bol&d, he was at once surprisetiand mortified to see Members ofthat most respectable portion of the community—a portion wheeh he held in most profound -respect, and whom. he had anon almoar all occasions known to he distinguished for 'their ten .7>iety in procuring the united blessings of civil and religious Pierty,- , lie meant the Dissenters. If there was any class more than another of his Majesty's subjects that should not address the Hbuse upon the subject, it, should be these persons. Ile, lowever, r trusted that these honourable and worthy i ndividual s would be aware, - that as discussion was that for which they ntways affected to be most anxious, as toleration was a word .ultyliyit upon their - lips, they were therefore bound to promote,. in this instance, that discustion by a zeal, ,for which they were -eye: signalized, and grant that toleration to others who differed t h orn theMseives. He trusted _a little discussion upon the sub net woald 'have the effect of making these persons alter their episions. Whilst upon the subject, he could not refigin from reminding them of the grievous inconsistency of which they. aerc guilty. - Do they forget, that,- though not excluded from that Louse, though not excluded from tile enjoyment of offices, the manner in which' they obtain these advantages, they oh- . Isiti them by conniyarce. And why. because they are Dissen terbecatse they act conscientiously according .to their own religions belief, and this operates as a civil disqualification. "They possess privileges through the connivance of the annual edernity Bill ; hitt for this, they woold be all liable to penal . ties. Why, - because they worship' God, as they think pro- . ty r. 'They possessed their privileges amen - sufferance, because acted_ conscientiously ; and they should grant the same , intnefits to the Catholics, from whom the doors of. all offices, great and small, were barred, for the same reasons, as they were e barred against them. .Z.lpon a discussion of this description, the nit me of a Sovereign (.James - I I.) was apt to occur. He reef& leczed the Address . of• the Quakers to- this Monarch, it Was to :f ' is effhet :ass" We hettrethey said, that thou art not a Member of the Church:6f England - any more titan me: We therefore ask Of thee thht teleration• Which' thou requirest for thyself." • (Mr. B.) would with great respect ask tile Dissenters (Whom he rt^.ll*;•tecl more than the Quakers slid James lie in s seed respected.morc than lie did any 'Sovereign whatever, as lie ConeeiVed a great portion of valuble 'Members of the Society were onttoae importance than any Kinee) what they would say' • if the Catholics addressed them as the Quakers did the Monarch to whom he alltides ? If they , said Friends - , Dissenters, you . as well as we labour under various ; we are excluded -from all places and: offices as well as you .therefore., :Friends, bear with us for a season as the State bears with you. Spare to us a portion of that toleration which we ":ore more in waneof, and which is dealt out by theyear to your. Ile felt hiniself compelled ta make few other observations. Some - of these petitions came from Scotland ; this ' b na.s e owned, mortified hint st-sit a little. All the MentherS of the House frornahat country arta supposed to be Pre - s,byterians-, - bnt the Gentlemen of that cotintry bad been in Other depart:nem:a:which it was supposed PANbyterians could rot fill. He knew how attached they were to the conscientious discharge of their religious dtities, - but thereVeere other things to which they were perhaps more strongly attached, and he would ask - the Scotch Gentlemen how they would feeb if the doors of all offices - were - shut in their faces, if they were r to debarretnot all the offices to-which they may aspire, front that of Constable to that of Lord Chancellor: and 'he knew diem to possess all these. He knew them to be Lords Chief Justices of the King' s Bench and CommOn Pleas. He would say the law required of .stech persons a savage sacrifice—for he could call it nothing else. It required them to take the Sacrament according to •the custom of our Church. - As - advantages bad been given to the Dissenters by the Annual Indemnity Act, why should not the Irish Catholics avail themselves by the same means of ob taining access to similar advantages? He hoped sincerely, that a little discussion Would open the eyes of the worthy per sons whO signed the petitions, aiVrteach them to alter their cpinioos. It was to hies a cowifertable reflection, that but a few of the Dissenters hattiigned these. petitions, and those who were subscribers; bad perhaps done so with o-st much thought.' He Maintained, those who signed the peti tions were few in number, compared with the millions of Dis senters to be found in the country. It was known, that almost half of those who were called Protestants were Dissenters. Few they were, he regretted the petitions were signed by so many. He trusted he should be excused for making these remarks. — He was sure he would obtain credit for his assertion, that he did not know a more highly, respectable class than the Dissen ters. He knew them as the warm Friends of civil liberty and popular education ; they weic, he thought, under a little delis. stun at present, or perhaps, the;r conduct ~ •.'as the effect of care lessness. Ile trusted, they would be now found equally at tached to religious, as they.had ever been to civil liberty.. If he did not hold the B'odv to whom he alluded in high respect, he would not have intruded upon the timepf the House, and 'as a proof of that respect, he took the liberty of giving thii timely admonition. Mr. PEEL would now say a word coneerning the petitions I. presented to the -House ' after the .respectful manner in which the Learned Member had spoken of those whose names were suhscribed. He had the honour of presenting a petition signed by 10.90 names, .from that very town. froM which that pre- . rented by the Learned Member had come. Ile was told those who signed the petition presented by him were the great body of the Protestant dissenters. He vindicated the petitioners who might .sit _in Parliament under the 4 knnual Indemnity act, from the charge of inconsistency in signing these petitions., Those who dissent from the doetrmes of the Church of Rome,. enjoTprivileges by means of the ,annual Indemnity Act, and they call upon the house not to break down this barrier of to leration. The petitiOnerA address the house in the most 'se-, spectful terms; they disclaim all feelins of religious hostility ; -they feel the doctrines O the Catholics to be more intolerant than those which predominate in the country, and they protest against the admission to political' power of those who hold such' doctrines. Ile felt as 'profound a respect for the body of the I Dissenters as the. Learned Member could, but - be diii not know what the effect would be on the members of the Church of. England, if they were to be told• that the inCvitable inf,:rence' from the success of the Catholic Question would be the repeal' of all tests whatever. 31r. BROCIGI3A3I, in cx, , lanation, said., that lest the Ca tholic question should in its present state receive: any mischief -from any thing. he might have said, he felt bound to state that the repeal of all tests was his own individual opinion. lie would support such repeal upon the principle of .general 7toieratioa.— If the hill passed, and Gentlemen left the test for the Catho lics, they would be in the same situation with the Dissenters at present; and his question to the Dissenters was; why they came forward with their opposition, when the Catholic sought to be as they were ? Mr. W. small conceived, if the passed, the Roman Catholic and the Dissenter would be on the same footing. The 'acramental Test was not to be repealed in favour' of the Ca tholic, with what propriety or consistency * he- would not in quite. He was glad this •conversaion had taken place, as it would be the means of correcting - an errt)r prevalent in the House and the country, that because there- was an annual In demity Act, the Disenter had nothing to complain of. This was not the case ; the Dissenters were reproached, stigmatizA, and disqualified, and, at a proper time, he would prove they were thus treated most unjustly. . . • - . Mr. ABERCROMBIE - would say but, a jeer. words. He could not conceive how, tinder the circumstances, the peti tioners could behave with such a want of cotrsietency and pro priety. He was disposed to treat the 'Dissenters with respect. He believed them to be a kited and patriotic class og men, but he could not bring himself to look upon the petitioners in this view. He respected the feelings of the Diss:nters generally, but it.was impossible for Vat to understand how their.cause could be promoted by theappeal they thought proper. to make against the Catholics, and directly in favour of those disabilities of which they themselves complained. They cameebefore . the House most anxious to be relieved from disabilities ow account of their religious opinions. flow was it teconcileable to common, sense that their interests could be promoted by their conduct upon the present occasion, when they were giving - strength to those arguments by which the Right Ron. Gentleman opposite was to oppose the clainis of the Catholics tri-morrow ? That portion of the public press:Mtich supported the Dissenters teas in the habit of saying. that - the :'Concessions mnde -to ' the Catholics were Wrong beeatise 'they ..wer., exclusive, and did rot comprehend the Dissenters„• Whit ' 0 ; 33 * Phil , to theurideretanding, hut it WO utterly !unitftelligible and ir ieeconeileable to cm - omensense; and When tire •Bi,ll was before the house the Dissentersashould ,wla2cl:i'otnid and:zealously ' oppose any Concessier . to tire Cad:plies% IF.The pissenters esaid. we will come forwerd and aesist tie Chuecli against the Ca '" tholits and by ad dole wet: ill *bate fa*A:6•of f:u- onTst.-Iv.s ; - • such conduct Would be plain. andicatily - tthderstood. - The cee. 1 duct of the petitioners made suchen unpression On •hitei, thatei he were to gave way to passion, if he were-not ..q" Ere governed by his reason, he would.vote - againat nem - I:rhea they sought the re peal of the Test Aft.

Mr. BROUGHAM felt .grateful ftteliia Learned-Friend .who had just sat down, for the light, he threw upon the subjert, and, the explanation he had (ei en. of the 'conduct of the peti a stoners. He would not' speak 'of them , 'aii beige , - Thseentera. They, were a large body, and had 'different opiniene arnobgat themselves upon these, subjects.. -The petitioner a, he made no doubt, came forward to assist the Church. • They Najd, we will give you help in .raising the- cry _of ".

The Dissenters little knew the Church-if they expected ite would be readyai, return them the favour; When they sou-ght-the repeal of the Test Act, they would be much mistaken indeed if they expected the Church would - stand them in stead. The petitioners may perhaps say, you are bound to assist us, do you not recollect the 19th April, 1825; Nherr you were in a state of black despair because ii wars impossible-for yen to raise the eta , of no Popery: The:Solicitor .

Upon this occasion we came forward to assist you—we raised the-Cry of no Popery—we gave you some crumbs of alarm to comfort- you—(Laughing)-you are now, therefore ' bound to assist us. The .Church would perhaps reply, Ic was not to help us you came forward, it was to help yourselves — you had a monopoly of toleration—you e.ad a Snug birth for yourselves—and your .object was: to keep the Parnaee out.— (laatighing )-11esides vie are more e nli g ht e ned u pon this ,sub - - , Rat than - Yee were. The keeping up the cry ,of a'• NOPopery . r. was in ns an act of consistency—in you it was one of the greatest baseness and inconsistency—we hate, you much more than we do the Catholics, and your conduct upon the Itith of A pril,lB - 2 a was the most •-absurd and foolish that can well he imagined.— (La u d t aaa ha lia. )___lt was as true as any proposition that could be demonstrated that the odium Oleologicum was in the ire. verse proportion of the diatante between-the dieagreeing•parties. It might exist in some degree between the Protestant and the Catholic, but whenit came. to the Protestant and the Dissenter the distance between them was sti small that the hate became actual bitterness. It was greatest' of all when the parties almost :Agreed. The difference of a little leiter, -the iota, involved the Rernish Church in bloodshed. As the - distance between the Churches was lessened things became worse :. when they ap proached still nearer to the,,doctrines of l each, other the hate became greater; it : was proportional to thg proximitY,. If mat ters were a thousand times worse he _would vote•for the re , ieal .t _ 'of the Test Act under a sense of, justice.. - • The petition was ordered to lie on the table and he printed.

Ile begged leave, however, to say,- that the first thing -he did when he offered himself .for Oxford, was to declare , that on -every ortii eitm he would follow his own:unbiassed eoinion. Ile would tint vote in any particular manner, because he was Member fur that place, but he would act according to thaictates of him own mind. He regretted , that his Learned Friend had withdrawn. so soon, because he was anxious to have shown-him ite•wli'at good spirits he (the Solicitor-General) felt hiniself on this ocCa.: sibn.—(A laugh.)—The Learned Gentleman .then presented a petition- front the Mayor, Bailiffs, eOd Commonalty of Oxford-, against the Catholic clairnsaa-Laid on the table.- • . .. .
