Rouse of Commons, as reported in the Newspapers. It is, that I the Secretary for the Home Department (Mr. Peel), whom we might have considered at length as a generous enemy, I think, on this occasion, has acted quite otherwise.—(liear.)—He has endeavoured to fix on us the stamp of idolatry, and to make an argument in support of that from our not acknowledging the 2,1 Commandment. Such an argument was founded merely on this,that he has taken up an Irish Catechism, abridged in several parts, fur the sake of younger persons, being the more able to learn it ; and that Commandment, being partly omitted in that abridgment, he has grounded on that, or at least attempted to do so, an imputa tion of idolatry on our whole body. (Hear, hear, bear.) s•li you will give me leave I will read that part of the Catechism to you ; it is a very old book, it was printed in the year 1774 , and the object of the treatise is a proposal for Catholic Com ulunion—for the uniting the two churches. It is put in the shape of question and answer. One of the sets of catechisms is very sh ort; but in the other set the Commandments that are of 50 Y length are set down full and entire, and which is the Catechism for elder persons. [His Grace then read the dif ferent forms in which the Catechisms are printed, proving that th e parts left out in the abridgment arc inserted fully in the other Catechism.] Now, I think, that the Secretary of the Home De partment should, before he attempted to fix on us so abominable an imputation, have at least examined the whole of our Catechism, which he had an opportunity of doing, and have seen how our tenets were explained.-(Hear, hear, hear.) --I think before he did that, by way of catching a few votes in the House of Commons, lie ought to have instituted that examina tion. I think what he did was below what we have seen of him at other times, that of an honourable opponent.—(Hear, hear, hear.) —However, I will not take up more of your time, but I was anxious, for I felt myself extremely indignant at this imputation, I was anxious to explain this, as I felt it to be necessary; and having done that, I shall leave the Resolutions about to be discussed, now to be proposed. Lord STOURTON then moved, that the thanks of the British Catholic Association be given to their Secretary, Edward Blount, 4 1., whose character and conduct his Lordship highly eulogized, and that he be again requested to undertake that office. The motion was seconded by the Rev. Dr. COLLINS, and carried unanimously. Mr. BLOUNT returned thanks, and said that the cause for which h„Y were assembled, was that of civil and religious liberty ; for own part, he. could not see any distinction between Catholic e mancipation and civil and religious liberty. Although no crime was attributed to the Roman Catholics, they were deprived of that liberty, which confers dignity on human nature. He would tell the Protestants that how ever inimical , they may be to the Catholics, yet the an cestors of the noblemen and gentlemen who were now around him had formerly fought and shed their blood for the liberties of Eng land, and that their own (the Protestant's liberty) is but on a very insecure foundation, when the Catholics are deprived of their liberty for such trifling reasons. He would make one re mar k, on the assertion so prevalent among their opponents, that the Catholics wanted political power, and wished to over throw the Established Church. He heard that this assertion was made by a Right Hon. Gentleman, but he would tell their Deponents that it was not the object of the Catholics to obtain Political power, but relief from political - degradation.—(Hear.) - 13 Y what means, he would ask ? They were told it would be by a majority, but what would he the effect of the passing of this Bill. Only eight Noble Lords would be admitted to the House of Lords, while they had a whole Bench of Protestant Bishops and a host of Protestant Peers,, to rise up and protect the Established Church on the first sound of the tocsin of alarm. To the House of Commons, he said, he would venture to predict, that for half a century, net half a, dozen Catholic Members would be admitted. Under these circumstances, how was it possible for so small a numb e r to command such a majority? Could they with out magic or Prince Hohenlohe, solely by their eloquence, ac quire this power; -he was sure that it was not the wish of any person present to overturn the Established Church ; but he could not say much for the value of the Establishment, if it was poli tical doctrines that it taught, instead of those of charity and peace. 11 0 Catholics would wish their pulpits to echo any thing but the doctrines of charity. They were now met under circumstances somewhat different from those under which they had met last time. They had now a majority of the House of Commons against them, but as there were other gentlemen abler than himself to address the. Meeting, he should say no more upon the subject, than ear nestly to entreat them to bear their defeat with dignity and firmness. The Hon. Mr. PETRE then rose and said, that since they had hat met, a debate on the Catholic question had taken place in the House of Commons, and though the result was not of that exhilarating kind that could be wished, yet he, as an Eng lish Catholic, saw no reason to despond, when they consi dered the shameful canvassing resorted to, and above all the underhand influence used for insuring the majority. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to congratulate the meeting on the way in which th e i r cause h a d b een s upported in the Commons, as also by the independent press; and although it was invidious to make . dis tinctions, yet he could not pass over the Times, which had n ielded its victorious weapons in the ablest manner, supported by the Glob e and Traveller in a manner w hi c h d eman d e d t h e i r gra tit u d e . They had heard much of burning but the last burning was in Loa donl by th e P rotestants t h emse l ves . Af ter a var i e ty of other remarks, the Hon. Gentl eman c o n cluded by entreating the Roman Catholics of Ireland , to bear their defeat with temper, as the English Ca tunnel; did. After the Chairman had taken his seat and some degree of order as restored, Mr. Rossi/4 addressed the Meeting and observed, that the cause of the C at h ol i cs was gaining add i t i onal strengt h eve ry time it was agitated. Their cause was sacred, from the fire of heaven on the altars they had lighted their torches, and he trusted soon to see it burn that lllY i n every Catholic, but in every British breast, with a fervour theiea.voruld show the world the firmness of an injured party, and Dn • ;'," ee of an opposing one, in granting their rights. He felt txirnshijkle in Saying, that nearly all the junior branches of the Nobility U niversities had expressed their abhorrence of that bigotry allue•heehati so long fired the breasts of their opponents. He then to the promise made not to agitate the question again dur _ " ,g . the life o f the late K i ng ; t h a t h a d RO W passed to a mere fact t istory, Air r. and E ng l an d no w expected every man to do his duty. d o eel had asked, what was to be gained by Catholic Etna.ncipa by It Re w P well known that he (Mr. Peel) gained every as d thing aition to it, had, in fact, gained every thing by it, and his oppo to i t •He had gained his Secretaryship by his oppositio n ' and it now appeared that he wished to gain more. The Learned G and co,s,en t, concluded by expressing his certainty that by firmness and an 0 ...mcy an injured people would at length recover their rights, the Ppressive one be convinced of their injustice in refusing also declar e d long and of the propriety of grahting them at last. He declared that there never was a greater forgery than that Nlr. Pi mi.. E.

If the Right Honourabl e Gentleman:had butiturnedito:his (Dr. Doyle's) evidence before,the Irish Co Winn of the unfair charges arttee, he would there found a refu e brought ag ainst the Catholics, founded on their mutilati on of thel second commandment. The Catholics had, in fact, preserved the terms as well as the spirit of the Commandments, although the form in which they were given did not correspond with that obtained in 'the Protestant Church. —All that we knew of the Ten Commandments was this, that ten precepts had been delivered hut no one could say in what order. Mr. Peel himself took r. very active part of rights. RESOLVED—That the British Catholics have ever been sensible of the honour conferred on their cause by the high character and distinguished talents of those who have given it their support. It has been repeatedly advocated by the most illustrious personages in the nation: by none more effectively, or in a manner more con genial to the feelings of Catholics, than by the Right Reverend the Bishop of Norwich. To him, for his repeated exertions in their cause, the. thanks of the Catholics are eminently due, and are hereby respectfully presented. In the memory of the Catho lics his services to them will ever live : his name will be men- boned with praise and benediction by them and their posterity. REsoLvEn—That we cannot too forcibly impress on the minds of our Protestant countrymen the cruel and humiliating degrada tions to which we, as professors of the Catholic religion, are con stantly reduced under the existing penal laws; reproached with idolatry in our worship, superstition in our tenets, and slavery in our principles ; our solemn oaths and declarations disregarded ; yet sharing, in common with our Protestant countrymen, the burdens of the State, and the dangers of the field; whilst the ave nues to honourable ambition and profit are closed against us. TRUEMAN V. HOLLINGSHED AND OTHERS. MPORTANT TO MERCHANTS IN THE COTTON TRADE. - . Mr. PArrxsoN opened the pleadings. Thomas Trueman, John Hide, and Thomas. Benson were the plaintiffs ; and Blundell, Hol lingshed, and Stafford, were the defendants. The action was to recover the value of goods bargained for and sold by special con tract. The damages were laid at 10,0001. The defendants pleaded they were not liable ; thereupon issue was joined. Mr. SCARLETD stated the case. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who were merchants, against the defendants, who were merchants' brokers, at Liverpool, to recover a sum of money, the value of a quantity of Egyptian cotton, which they had im ported for them from Alexandria and Trieste. A similar action bad been tried in the Court of Common Pleas, in London, and the right of the plaintiff to recover was there established, because an ac tion upon the same contract against them had been brought, and the parties bringing that action recovered damages ; and, by 'a somewhat paradoxical conclusion, the Jury would see, that in the history of this case, the plaintiff had, throughout, behaved to the defendant with the greatest candour, and given him every informa tion to conduct his defence. The Jury would, perhaps, recollect that the trade with Egypt for cotton was of recent origin ; it com menced, he believed in 1823, down to 1825. So much specula tion had taken place in that article, that the twice of it had risen considerably, far more than was consistent with the conA,..y. However, although there was very considerable uncertainty as to the sailing of the vessels from Trieste, through the currents in the Mediterranean, it became necessary to send a vessel from this coun try, to bring home the cotton which the defendants had contracted to purchase from the plaintiffs ; and, accordingly, a vessel, called the Bristol, was despatched in May, 1825. The contract between the parties was dated the 6th of April previous, at which time there was a great briskness in that article. The contract ran that the defendants were to purchase 500 bales of Egyptian, at 17d. per lb., warranted of usual quality, and the money for it payable by bills at three months, upon notice of shipment; and a Mr. Wilkinson, who bad agents at Trieste, had given directions to his broker not to confine himself to the time of arrival, because there was so much uncertainty of the vessels sailing from that port ; therefore, in the contract, no specific time for its completion was named, which was a point to which he desired the particular at tention of the Jury. The contract, also, was not binding as re garded loss by shipwreck or accident of the seas. The Bristol, having made her voyage out and home, landed 1,500 bales of Egyp tian cotton, and the defendants were called upon to attend the weighing, it being always customary, at the port of Liverpool, for the buyers to be present at the weighing of freightage, on its dis charge from the quay. But it so happened, that a very consider able decrease in the value of cotton had taken place ; and, had that not been the case, most probably the Jury would not at all have been troubled about the matter. The defendants, seeing the thing unprofitable, determined on taking advantage of the unavoid able delay of the ship's arrival, as a pretext for getting rid of this contract, and tried every means to repudiate it, but unsuccess fully ; and, as they refused to comply with its tenets, and re fused to take the cotton, this action was brought to recover the amount of it, and there would be no qr estion that the plaintiffs were entitled to a verdict. Several witnesses were then called, and examined as to the na ture and commencement of the transaction. The dealing, it ap peared, wss originally commenced by brokers, at Liverpool, at the instance of the vender of the cotton, through his merchants at Trieste ; and the brokers disposed (during the excitement of the market) of the cotton, then at the port of Trieste unshipped; and, about a month after the disposal, in consequence of the scarcity of shipping at the port, the Bristol was chartered out, and 1,500 bales were shipped in her. She arrived in due course at Liver pool, and then, although some of the purchasers took portions of the cotton, the defendants refused. The contract was as follows : .‘ Sold this day to you (naming the defendants), 500 bales of Egyptian cotton, at I7d. per lb., to arrive from Trieste, and of the usual average quality to he delivered in a merchantable'condi tion, and notice to be given of the name of ship upon advice of shipment. Payable by bill, at three months, dated 10 days after vessel's arrival." The defendants sold 100 bales, immediately after the above con tract was made, out of the 500, at 19 d. pe r l b. (a profit of 2d. per lb.), to Mdssrs. Gee (brothers), and rehearsed in that sale this very same contract. s of th e con tract.

Mr. POLLOCK, for the defendants, contended that this contract was by no means binding- The Jury retired for half an hour, and returned, finding a ver dict for the plaintiffs, observing, that they considered that the time taken by the plaintiffs was not so unreasonable as to vitiate the contract. The damages were then taken at 10,000/. 9 subject to a re ference. Beasts. 2,409 ' . • ' . spapera. It is, that on the examination before the Committee, and the Right. Rev.

We understand that Lord Kennedy's shooting match takes place immediately after the York races. The Match is one thou sand birds for one thousand guineas, It is said, that his Lord ship has four thousand guineas privately depending on the watch. • Yesterday morning, at about six o'clock, the neigh bourhood of Guildford-street, Blackfriars-road, was thrown into great alarm and confusion in consequence of a fire breaking out in some premises belonging to Mr. Evans, cooper, of the above street, which unfortunately proved fatal to the lives of two individuals named Edward Kenney and John Doyle, two Irishmen who lodged in the premises. It appears that Mr. Evans some time since pur chased several mean hovels, situate at the back part of Guildford street, which he let out to the lower order of Irish, and Kenney was the occupant of the lower part of one of the houses, where he nightly slept. On Saturday, it being St. Patrick's Day, he ac companied Doyle, who was his intimate friend, to the Horse and Groom public-house, in Gravel-lane, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of their Saint, and remained carousing together until three o'clock yesterday morning, when they were completely intoxicated, and Doyle, who could not get in at his own lodgings , was invited by Kenney to take part of his bed : this he accepted , and they proceeded together to the place, but were -so overcome by the effects of the liquor they had drank, that they, a fter pro curing a light, fell asleep upon two chairs in the apartment. The place was covered with shavings, with which Kenney was in the habit of lighting his fire; and while they were buried in sleep, a spark from the candle flew upon them, and set them on fire, which caused the accident. Great anxiety was felt during the conflagration for the safety of th e two unfortunate individuals whose imprudence caused the accident to happen; a nd-on the fire being put out, on entering the apartment, they were beheld in the most frightful state : they were seated on their chairs, and on laying hold of parts of thei r b o dy, th e y crumbled to pieces : not a single feature of their countenances was discoverable. Kenney was aged 52, and Doyle, 56. Their remains were deposited yesterday morning in a workhouse shell, and carried to the watchhouse in Guildford street, where they are now lying for the Coroner's Inquest. A Mrs. Sweeney, one of the lodgers, who first discovered the fire, declares that she was awoke out of her sleep by her deceased father, who came to her bed-side, told her to snake her escape, that Kenney was burning. She instantly awoke her husband.— Though laughed at, she persists in her story. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

IRELAND. OPERATIONS IN THE PROVINCES. We have already given a sketch of the proceedings which oc curred at the first meeting held in Ennis. The second meeting took place on Tuesday. It was exceedingly crowded. The greatest animation and the most cheering and ncon solatory indications of a determination to persevere, were e vinced 'ay all classes. at Bill—against the first first the m T ee e t Mr. O'Connell produced the drafts of the Five Petitions res olved upon ninagu—tryfor Bill--forEmanc the Emancipation---agai Repeal of and for Parliamentary Reform. He also read a detailed plan for a County Liberal Club, and s t t h t e h u e n Vestry o Union-- Bdi_ also for a separate and unconnected Club, in each parish. The ?urposes are generally those specified in the regulations of the Louth Club, and in the papers of the " Liberators." The County Club was immediately formed, and they were to hold their first dinner at Carmody's Inn, on Thursday. The dinner ordered was ?lain and substantial, and it is a rule of the Club to break up at ten o'clock at the latest. The Club will meet once a month to transact business and to dine. The county is to be divided into half baronies, and certain mem bers of the Club are to undertake to have every man possessed of a freehold qualification duly registered without delay. • There was a strong resolution, but prospective, against any Member of Parliament who shall, in future, support the Peel.por tion of the Administration. The Parish Clubs differ little from the Country Clubs. No man can be a member of a Parish Club unless he pays a shilling a-year to the Catholic Rent—and unless he has the written certificate of his Clergyman, that he is regular in his religious duties. The Parish Clubs, besides attending to the education of the children of the poor, are calculated to procure political and religious infor mation. The honest newspact!rs, and cheap religious tracts, will speedily circulate amongst their maubers. There is to be no secresy; on the contrary, all the proceet:::2Zs are to be a lwa y s open for the police, the magistrates, and all Oilier arsons. open this memorable assembly broke up, Mr. O'Connell tsfas chaired by the people through the entire tows.—Dublin Morning Register. KING'S THEATRE. Rossini's serious Opera of " Pietro L'Eremita," was performed on Saturday evening at this theatre, on which occasion, a 1110e moiselle Giacjnta Toso, from the Conservatorio at Milan, made her first appearance not only on this but (as we were given to un derstand) on any stage. Sbe is a woman (evidently young) of pleasing face and commanding person, with a self-assurance, that would seem to imply no slight acquaintance with the stage. On the whole, her performance was much to be admired, although her voice throughout was more remarkable for breadth, and fulness of tone than for melody. At the conclusion of the Opera, she was recalled by the audience, led across the stage by Signor Torii, and very vehemently applauded. The house was well attended, and the debut successful. • FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS, WINDSOR, MARCH 18.—This morning his MA JESTY, attended by the Duke of Dorset and the Royal Household, heard Divine Service performed at the Private Chapel, by the Bishop of Chichester. Yesterday evening his MAJESTY entertained the following distinguished Personages at Dinner : Her Royal,Highness the Princess Augusta, the Duke of Dorset, the Earl and Countess Harcourt, Lord and Lady lliaryborough, Lord Graves, the Bishop of Chichester, &c. &e. At seven o'clock the whole of the rooms extending the south front of the Royal Lodge were thrown open, which were lighted and decorated in a most brilliant manner.—The private Band stationed in the alcove delighted his MAJESTY and guests by their perform ance during the evening. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta had Divine Service performed this morning at Frogmore Lodge. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence visited the Princess Augusta yesterday forenoon at Frogmore, and returned to Bushy Park in the evening. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—Lord Liverpool passed a good night, and is going en very i svell. MR. CANNING.—We are very nappy to be able to announce, that Mr. Secretary Canning is so far recovered from his indisposition as to be able to attend to his official duties this morning. The Bavarian Minister transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday. We understand that it is intended to erect a monu ment to the memory of the late Dr. Heber, Bishop of Calcutta. This design has originated with the immediate friends of the late Bishop, at Oxford. The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to appoint Joseph Terry Hone, of Gloucester, and of the Middle Temple, Esq., Barrister at Law, a Magistrate of the several Counties of Surrey, Middlesex, Kent, and Essex. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Joseph Terry Hone, Esq., Barrister at Law, a Magistrate of Police at Union Hall, in the room of J. S. Caldwell, Esq., resigned. We are happy to observe that our hints have suc ceeded in causing the unsightly obelisk to be removed from Hyde park-corner. COLONEL TALBOT.—We are authorized to state that Colonel Talbot was precluded by indisposition, which con fined him to his bed, from voting on the Catholic Dublin Morning Register. DR. KITCIIINER.—This lamented person had, only a few days before his death, corrected the proof sheets of th e edition of his Cook's Oracle, now so much in request. It is greatly improved—contains many new receipts, and will, no doubt, carry down the author's reputation to a remote posteritY, or so long as the palate retains it relish for wha t is savoury and piquant. We were much amused with a scene in the Regent's Park, a few days ago. A tall young gentleman, with spectacles, evidently a fresh importation from the country , was staring at the pheasants and hares, with what we fancied, peasing recollections of his rural home, when a strong gust of wind carried his h a t over the railings , a mongst the affrighted game. The iron spikes ma d e it difficult to get over, and the kind hints of the amused cockneys, pointed out danger in another shape from the laws of trespass. Our horse would not enter into the joke, and his im. patience induced us to quit the scene before its denouement d h but an ything more ridiculous canno t be fancied, than the exposeead and blushing countenance of the,youth, u ncertain how to act, watching the steady progress of Isis hat towards a sheet of water, where the black swans, seemed to hail it as a kindred friend-- " nigro similliina cygno." The son of Marshal Soult is now in London he intends to make a tour through Great Britain and Ireland. • H e is described to us as a very well-informed and sensible youth. We are pleased to see young . Frenchmen of r an k and fortune taking pains to be acquainted with our country; it is th e sures t way of getting rid of a heap 5f foolish and sometimes pernicious prejudices. D U EL.—In consequence of a misunderstanding, arising from an article inserted in the S portz • ng morning, i n a fi e l d ad j o i n i ng t h e lower Magazine, - i n g took place early y esterda y a meet Bristol-road, between Philip Herring , lt e ,„.i Esq. , and Captain P. 0.

We have rerineasgnoantintT and then the Mr. Qui nine. influence will predominate. It is worthy of remark, that several of the Ministers, w hom his Majesty pro„Pcmed ha t° El the re! upon the first intelligence of Lord Liverpool's illness, licacy to decline any communication on the subject. Nothing, as We a r e assured from a quarter which leaves no doubt on our own minds, can exceed the manliness, the disinterestedness, hale nd good feeling of the Duke of Welling ton throughout the woof his conduct since the death of the Duke of York, and the affliction of Lord Liverpool. Much as we differ from the Duke on many subjects, and particularly on the all-important question of Ireland, we owe it to ourselves, no Jess than to his Grace, to own that we believe him to be perfectly honest and straightforward, however mistaken or deceived in his views.—There is a report that Lord Granville will immediately return to Paris. We take it for granted, however, that he will not leave London till his patron's destinies are fixed, especially as the treaty for the settlement of the Greek question is about to be signed in London...
