IMPERIAL- PARLIAMENT. . . was described in the Rubric as idolatrous, hand we were taxed to support it. In a public newspaper,, published in Nov. last, what said the Rev. Mr. Kelly, parish priest, in reference to a case of Bible burning ? He sie.id, " Would you know the nature of the charge recentiae made ? It was that of committing to the flames a telling called a Bible, but which is a foul, blasphemous corruption —a per version of the Word of God." Then There were loud cheers, and the speaker. went on—" It is .for committing to the flames that which if rmyself was going to c ommit.to the fiaines, should do so by picking it up with a pair of tongs for fear of soiling my fingers.' This was th • report of a speech made at - a large meeting by one o:f the priests for whose education. at. Maynooth they avere paying. He considered that those who ,had tektite. the .oath of allegiance broke it if they supported a college which taught such doctrines, as those to which he had al , hided. How could They perform their oath of allegiances I if they compelled their Sovereign to give her assent to measures so injurious to the Protestant .religion, and so subversiveof the stability of the constitution ? Any one who would read :the report to which he - had referred would perceive that the ROMan Catholic Church was divided into two great sections—the Ultramontanists and the Gallicans. At the present time, there was a great struggle going on, the object of which was to bring Mayneoth under the entire control of the intramontane party. He implored the shouee -not- to give a vote on this question without making themselves acquainted with the teaching of that party into whosebands the College of Maynooth had fallen. A right bon. friend of his, who was not now ,present doubted whether the house was not bound in good faith to support the college. On that point they could have no better authority th an th a t of the statesman who had introduced the Endowment Act—the late Sir Robert Peel. The right honour able gentleman, in his speech on the 3d of April, 1845, expressly declared that the measure was no the result of any stipulation or contract. (Hear.) It was proposed then simply as a free gift-ea gift conferred in the full confidence that the professions that were • held out would be fulfilled. But they had now a more educated, a more loyal, and a more humble or submis sive class of Roman Catholic priehte ? The very reverse was the fact ; and the house was therefore free to recal its favours. (Hear.) Let the noble -viscount opposite boldly come forward, and, disregarding the- votes of hon. gentlemen below the gangway, do this great act of justice and right, and he- would be the most popular Mihister that ever sat un that bench. The voice of the people would ring like thunder through the land, and would keep him in the place he filled ; but he warned him against the consequences` hat would follow his op position to the motion. (Hear.) He begged now to move that the Speaker do leave the 'chair. Mr. M'CANN, referring to what the hon. member had, said with respect to theMaynooth .priests, would like to know what would have been the consequence if the Irish soldiers at Inkerman had not been taught by priests educated in that college ? (Hear.) : • Mr..BLACK thought that all the grants to religious • bodies in Ireland should be referred to the - same commit tee, Confining his remarks to the annual votes he found that in 1853 the sum granted to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, which held the same principles as the Church of Scotland, was 33,981/. ; to ,the Remon strate Synod, Ulster, which held Arian views, 2,2261.; to the synod of Munster (Arian), 9371. ; and th e ' syno d of Antrim-(Arian) ; 9001.; making a total of 38;0441. This year it appeared that that sum had been increased to 39,0001.; whereas the Roman Catholics only received 26,3601,, ' (Hear.) The revenue of the Establiihed -Church was 764 1 404/. a year. It would - be instruAiTe -to 'compare these - figures with the comparative Member of .the different bodies,. -According to the report . of the commissioners of instruotien iii 1834, the Established Church had 836,854 !Aerobe/a, or 103 per cent.' of the population. The Presbyterians had 8 per cent., and the other dissenters a quarter. peraceet a a while the Roman Catholics were 81 per cent of the whole. Since then the . famine of 1846-7, and the great emigration which took ,lace after it, had greatly modified those proportions ; a-id according to thehbest authorities, the Established Church had now 13 per cent., the Presbyterians • and . ...other dissenters 10, and the Roman - Githolies'77 per .cent. Dividing the endowments he had mentioned amongst the different bodies, the Established ()birch would be filled to receive 51. Bs. per family, the Presbyterians 6s. 11d., and the Roman Catholics Bil. Few would deny that there was a principle of justice in this distribution, independently of sectarian considerations; Those grants were taken from the general fund of thetaxes, contributed to by every- one who smoked a pipe, or- took a cup 'of tea : ; and yet those who received..at the rate of 51. Bs.per head w..re crying out against those who received much • less. Why should they fix upon one sect; and with draw the grant from it, in reference to any other 7 The grants to the Presbyterians had always increased, they wprein,creasing, and .aught to be diminished.". • (Hear.) There was an understanding at - the time of the Union that the Mayneath grant should be continued ; and this was confirmed by the act of Sir - R. Peel. On this ground 'the Maynooth grant had' a higher claim to be continued than the others. But it was objected to on two grounds —that Romanism. was unfavourable to civil liberty, and that we ought not to support n heresy. He acknow ledged that. Romardem had not bee n "favourable to civil liberty, and that in countries where it prevailed the forms bf government were mostdespotic. - (Hear, hear.) He would recommend the Catholics to call monster meetings, and urge on their hierarchy to promote tolera tion wherever Catnolicisin was the estahlished religion ; and they would then do much to refute this are,umeet aeainet the grant. But the main objection in the minds of the great bulk of petitioners was; that the Roman Catholic religion was heretical. 011 this principle ` - he felt the greatest 'repugnance to vote for the withdrawal of the grant ; for not only did Protestants 'believe Catholics to be in deadly error, but Catholics ent rtained: the „same opinion of Protestants, and the Presbyterians and other sects held the carne with regard to each other. (Hear, hear.) If they wished to put. down a religion which they considered heretical, it could only be done by an. exterminating pereecution, ouch a?, -had . Prevailed. io .Spain,, In this country, we had . Epic eOpalianiern established in England, Piesbyterianisei in Seotlend, and Roman Catholicism tolerated in Ireland ; tat they had all been persecuted in turn, and with- ut - effect. If we resorted again to persecution, we might "send missionaries and tons of tract, to convert the RO. ntoists, but it would be all ithyaho.,flelear, hear.) He 'would not consent to persecute ail), 'sect, but would do justice to all. (Hear.) It was said this was a Protestant .countryettol a Protestapt Parliament ; but all that was meant was that the great bulk of the people were so. He doubted, however, ,whether they were Protestants, for the leading principle of Protestantism was the right of private judgment, and those who denied that right FOREIGN TROOP. 3. , ,- . were Worse than infid e ls.'

THE POSTMASTER OF HUNTINGDON. ,The Earl of SANDWICH inquired of the Postmas ter-General the reasons which had induced him to with draw from the prosecution of the postmaster of Hunting don at the late assizes ? The Duke of ARGYLL said that in all cases involv- Jig prosecutions for felony it was customary for the Government to consult the law authorities of the Crown. In the present instance that course - had been adopted, and the result was, that the law officers did not advise a prosecution. The party, however, was dismissed, as it was considered that he bad been guilty of a grave offence in opening a letter containing'm order in favour of Mr. Do Barry, the proprietor of the article called Arabica Revalenta, f)r a supply of that arti cle, with a view of obtaining a commission in the transaction, he being one of the local agents, by sending it directly from himself. The ordinary rule had been adopted in this case, and no difference was made as the noble earl had stated between the Huntingdon post *derand the Staffordshire official. The fact was bathe one case a prosecution was advised, in the other it was thought advisable not to institute a prosecution. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. The Earl of DERBY complained of what he con sidered _a discourtesy. to the noble earl opposite(Har- o rowby) in laying on the table last evening, just before the rising of the house, a bill forthe amendment of the act relating to the University of Oxford.

The Earl of 11ARROW13Y assured the noble lord that not the slightest disclurteny was intended. The measure was .not of any great importance, it being 'merely to remedy some technical defects, and he did not think. it was necessary to mention the subject to the noble earl.

On what ground of justice or fair dealing did the Vo luntaries unite with --hon. gentlemen opposite against Maynooth ? He thought the voluntary system was a pod one, and believed it was an ennobling principle to see men associating together and subscribing their means for the propagation of their own religion. (Hear, hear.) But whilst he believed that voluntaryism was possible in England and Scotland, he did not believe it was pos sible in Ireland, b ecause i n . I re l an d t h ere was a rich church possessing some 600,0001. a-year, which was not the church of the majority, but the church of a small mi nority. He did not think there were enough of Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland. If there were more he be lieved there would be leas crime in that country. No practical Roman Catholic would be found committing crime. The Roman Catholic clergyman was obliged to come into personal contact with every - member of the Church, and therefore a greater number of clergy were required for a population of Roman Catholics than for?a Protestant one. It was t rue th a t R oman Catholic priests left Ireland and'went elsewhere, but that was - owing to the poverty of the people. But even admitting that the voluntary principle could be. applied to Ireland he maintained that the Maynooth grant was only a wretched restitution of a portion of what had been taken from them. It was unfair to charge milli° Roman Catholic r( ligion the vices or crimes of Roman Catholics in firmer times as Macaulay had done in his history. (Hear.) He could retort the same argument on the Pro testant religion. The Roman Catholic religion taught the same social doctrines as the Protestant —love of God and love of our neighbour. The Roman Catholic people would not become Protestants, and therefore it was bet ter that they should be well educated than badly edu cated. It had been said that as there was a Roman Catholic University, there was no longer any necessity of the Maynooth grant ; but his reply to that was, that as,the University of Dublin was practically closed against the Roman Catholics they bad a right to this grant. He should vote against the motion, and hoped this would be the last time that it would be brought forward in the house. - Mr. WILKINSON rose amidst cries of "Divide, divide." He did not rise for the purpose of making a speech, because he had a great dislike to public discus sions on the subject of religion. He was no admirer Of the Roman Catholic religion, but as long as the Estab. lished.Church in Ireland was kept up in its present form he could not vote against the grant. He should, how' ever, support the amendment of the hon. member for. Edinburgh. (Hear.) Mr. KENNEDY said he could not vote for the mo tion of the hon. member fol. Warwickshire. If that hon. gentleman had charged the Irish clergy with neglect of duty he could understand the motion. If there had been large defections fromsthe Protestant Church in Ireland to the Roman Catholic religion, he could understand it, bat he could not understand it on the grotind upon which the hon. member for North Warwickshire had placed it. Was not the hon. gentleman aware that there were 343 defections from the Protestant Church in England to the Roman Catholic, between the let of January, 1849, and 1855. The het included 3 duchesses,-1 marchioness, 2 countesses,. 4 viscountesses; 8 ladies, L e a r l, 3-wises:hints, .3birds,,l honourabie miss—(laughter) -8 baronets, 2 venerable archdeacons, 85 reverends, 6 M.P.'s; &c. He would not for obvious' reasons give the names of these, persons, but they were open to the inspection of the hon. member for North Warwickshire. A' greater degree of charity might be extended to the Roman Catho lic religion by the hon. gentleman', if he recollected that these. 343 persons who were well educated and in high positions had, from a love of truth, become _Roman Ca tholics. He hoped .he had a soul to be saved as well as the hon. mover, and he hoped that he was discharging his conscientious duty in oppos i ng the motion as much as the hon, gentleman was in.. supporting it. He was sorry that the question, had not beefs debated as an educational one alone. Was the hon, member prepared to say that there should be no religion at all in , Ireland, or that the. clergy should be educated abroad ? The . Roman Catholics were the most numerous supporters of the Irish schools. The number of scheols supported by Romen Catholic patrons was 2,800 ; by- Protestant pa- Crone, 154. Th e number of Roman Catholic teachers was 4,690; of Proiestant, 341. This was but a small branch of the educational question. He could see that Maynooth had a right ,to be supported if they once re cognised the system of a state education, but he could not see that any reason had been advanced why the grant should be withdrawn. Mr. A. DE VERE said he quite agreed that the subject had been suffisiently discussed, and that it was ripe for• decision. (Hesr.) The hon. member for North Warwickshire, however had gone int o a vas t var i ety of evraneous topics, and had put forth statements of fact's to which be (Mr. De Vere) felt bound to give a distinct denial. He denied that the Catholics of these countries were disaffected to the Protestant dynasty now seated on the throne. The hon. member for North Wareickshire had put his motion on the ground that the Catholic reli gion was inimical to loyalty and to the peace and pros pects of the country. These were theological opinions, which the house would hardly be prepared to adopt. Nor could it be contended that a large body of her Ma jesty's subjects were to be deprived of their civil rights on account of the hatred of the hon. member. The success of the hon. member's motion could not secure the suppres sion of the Catholic religion. If the grant were with drawn every effort would be made to supply the den elency, and if it could not be found at home it would be found abroad. This could not be done without agitation and excitement, which would not be advantageout to the country. But it would be absolutely necessary to make ever, effort to supply froin other sources the deficiency created' by the cessation of this grant. He did not, however, believe tnat the house would sanction its with drawal. He did nut concur in the amendment, which would not, by any means, carry out <its professed pria ciplo of equality, while it- lett untouched the Church Establiihment in Ireland. The house would find that if they acceded to the nistien the- result would be a re newal of agitation es uf which the end weld not be fore seen. (Divide.) Mr. DRUMMOND said that when his hon. friend rose he had declared it would be rather a good thing if they divided 'fleet and spoke after or not at all— , ("bear, hear," and laughter) —but he thought that the country was very, much indebtel. to his hon. friend for haviug brought-the wetter under discussion. How the vote went, .whether the motion was carried or lost, was a matter eif very small importance—("hear" and laughter)- e -but it was of very great importance that this question should be discussed in the house. He. feared his hon. friend would not think he was doing him much service when -he said that as to the whole theological part of his Speech he entirely differed from him. It would give him (Mr. Drummond) very sincere grief if the people of Ireland should become of -no religion at all, as they did when- they went to - Ame rica.' .He thought that when the Irish emigrated, and became less.nnder the control of their priests, they be came infinitely worse. He did not thick, however, that the theological part of the question was one which the house was competent to deal. with. The only thing far them to. consider was, whet was the morality of the teaching Qf certain gentlemen. If their doctrines were immoral; surely it a wae a fair question for discussion in that house w.lietther it was worth evhile4o continue .to educate such men, He was not going to give them his own opinion of that teaching, nor the opinion of Protest ant legitation, nor the opinion of those who differed from the Church of Rome ;.but they knew what the opinion of Roman Catholic States had been, what the opinion of the Pope hiniself had been. He supposed there were very few gentlemen- there who believed that- the Pope never changed his. opinion. The universal consent of Europ e proneunced these doctrines to be incampa tible. with the well-being of society, and they turned out and supproesed all those who supported them. He was not going to quote Liguori. He did think it would be be very well if every Roman Catholic gentleman was examined in Li guor i, (Hear.) They had lately git a fit of examining, and Liguori was the only writer in the world of wheel the Roman C ttholic Church had autho ritatively decided that he had never written one word of error. 'lt would be very agreeable for these gentlemen to read the six volumes of bad Latin which did not con tain one word of error. (Hear; and laughter.) He had now got some of it in English, and it, contained some very choice morsels. He had got a little book, costing only a penny, called, " What every Christian must know." . Now, one of these things was, "It is a sin to mix something with what, you sell ; for example to !nix water with any :liqor, unless . it he a common custom or . be - necessary"—:en. what account did they t ink t—" cr be necessary in order to gain a reasonable profit." (Laughter.) . had heard of a Catholic gree t er mixing sand with his auget';tttrt attributed it to a chronic love of saud. Another of those things which every Christian nut know, was, "It is a venial s:n to steal a little, but it is a mortal sin to steal much—for example, his day's . Wages from a workman, or still more from a poor man ; if you steal half as,much from diffe rent persons, or steal at different times, or steal a little often, it becomes a mortal sin." He had something more —"To call God to witness anything is an oath ; but if you do not know that what you say is an oath, or do not mean to take an oath, these words area nullity." (No, no.) Did the hon. gentlemert mean to deny it was the doc trine. If he had read Liguori he would not. • DruMmond) believed one of the greatest losses the house had.ever sustained was the late Mr. Lucas. (Hear.) He was a perfect master of the doctrines of his church. In dividually he was excsedingly sorry for his loss ; he bad I,ttle personal acquaintance, with him, but that little had led to high respect. (Hear.) lie would like to know, had any hon. gentleinau read the, chapters on mental reierva• tion and a.mbieoity When they denied these doctrines impatience along extracts and bad Latin. These were they presuine3 on the ignorance of the house, and their e Church at the present day. If there out, all human society must come ? t f :e ti L ee was an innate principle of truth in doctrines t t o ie an nd doctrines; were b borne .. well as the Protestant—which would not 9 lie. gen A t s le f al or a t n he s i 3 r all men's minds—in the Roman Cahh Protestant principle he never could learn what it wa^. There was nothing in their Protestant principle which, Could not stand against tbe . orslaught of the Papacy, be cause the Papacy, liad one end from the beginning, to bring them all down in subj:.4tioli to Nothing enabled them to stand against it but the increase of civilisatiOn and education, and the. community of feeling in all honourable' minds. Aa long as that survived there L• as no danger frona Maynooth or all their colleges. He had spoken of - oaths : did they remember t`.e oath taken before the House of Lords at the time of emancipation ? The Roman Catholic bishops came forward and 'declared that if the Pope was to presu m e t o take a h i shep not recommen d ed b y t h em they would not receive him. Contrast that with what 1 13d:since taken. place. •He had long since expre,sed bis opinion that the . whole queStiOn of the Church in Ireland aunt be settled. one way er other in that bonne. For his part he did not much care whethei the motion or the amendnient of the hon. member for Ediabuigh was car fa,p„geptleteen might thi n k it wou ld b e a grea t 4141001:0-444014414,77103041. to see that in the sweep something did not come 'down that they ware not at all prepared for. Mr. MEAGHER denied that the Catholics were op posed to civil liherty. He called on the. Government to came forward and declare their opinion on the question. Mr. DEASY at some length defended the Roman Catholic Church from the various allegations that had been made against her, and reminded the house that they were not there to support one creed at the expense of others. They were as trustees of a great number of different creeds and denominations whose funds they were bound to administer with judicial impartiality. He appealed to the Voluntaries in the house to reserve their votes till Mr. Miall's motion gave them an opportu nity of condemning all endowments, and not to vote for this motion, which would alienate the minds of the people of Ireland. He need not remind the house that, if the grant were withdrawn to-morrow, the college would still remain, but it would then be supplied from voluntary donations, either at home or 'abroad probably from the Imperial family of France—and, in either case, Parliament would have no control over its management; and he concluded by warn ing the members of the Church E lablishrnent that if this grant were onee removed, the Establishment itself would not long remain. Mr. NE WD EGA.TIA contended that if the teaching at Maynooth was ultramontane, it did not matter whether those doctrines were taught at Paris or Ireland. What he wanted was, that the Government should wash its bands of the responsibility of teaching them at all. Much had been said of the loyalty of the Church of Rome, and there could be no doubt that at present she was loyal, but that was because the monarchs of Europe, especially the Emperor of Austria, had bowed themselves at the feet of the Pope. It was proved that the teaching of Maynooth was ultramoutane, and that he believed the people of England would not continue to sanction. (Hear, hear.) What might be the issue of this debate he did not know, bat of-this he was sure that the people of England would tole rate no Government which was so disposed as to hold its place at the sufferance of the Catholic members. Mr. ROEBUCK reminded the hOuse that the May nooth College was first established and afterwards con firmed by Protestant Legislateres, in which no Catholic member had a seat. Then came Sir R.Peel, who removed the vote from the annual estimates and placed it on the Consolidated Fund. But now came the hon. member for Warwickehird, and told the house that they must abate. don Mr. Pitt and Sir R. Peel, and must follow him. Now he (Kr. Roebuck) had great faith in Mr. Pitt and he had some faith in Sir R. Peel, but he had• no faith in the honourable gentleman. _Looking at the question in a broad and statesman-like view, be thought it would be' madness to disendow the college. He. adverted to the significant absence of the leaders of the Op position, who refused to support M r . S pooner, h e said, because they were statesmen, and expected some day to govern the country. After referring to the change in the conduct of the Irish priesthood, as shown in the Rebellion of 1798 and in 1848, he concluded by stating that he was for maintaining the grant and for maintaining the authority of the Legislature over the college and the priesthood. Mr. KIRK reitnintledethe hon. metriberefbr Warwick shire that his chief supporters on this occasion were the enemies of his own Church. Lord PAIZIERSTON—Sir, I confess I have felt great regret that the hon. member for Warwick should have thought it his duty again to bring this subject under dis cussion in Parliament. I think that nothing can be more injudicious than these repeated discussions on matters which have no connection with political objects, but which Mini almost entirely as this discussion hais turned=follow hag the example .of the hon: member—on doctrinal and theological questions. No doubt the hon. memb er f or Warwick wishes, as every good Protestant naturally wishes, that all the subjects of the Queen should be of the same creed as himself, while-those , 41.. l profess the Roman Ca tholic religion, on the other hand, have similar wishes with regard to their own persuasion. But this is not a question which rats be settled by discussion in this house. It is not by stirring up angry passions in polemical contro versy that we can hope to win those who differ from us over to our creed. • Ou the contrary, the more those clues tions 'are disoussed in the spirit which I am sorry to say the hon. member for Warwick introduced his motion, the less likely that harmony which might lead to approxima tion in religious opinions. (Hear.) But I look on thisquee tion simply from a political point of view. The question before us is not as to the comparative doctrines of two creeds, the way in which it was put by the hon. member ; it is simply one of political expediency as to whether or no the endowment should continue, and also whether its abo lition would be consistent with the engagements we have entered into with the people of Ireland. In the first place, I should say that the course of events has shown that there is an engagement towards the Irish people leading us to retain the institution as it now stands. It has been well said in the course of the debate that this institution did did not originate on Catholic authority, but was first esta blished by the "Protestant Parliament of Ireland, after wards secured by the Protestant Parliament of England, and placed in its present state on the recommeadation of a highly Protestant Minister 'of - this country. I will not enter into any question as to the teaching that prevails in Niaynoleth. It has been argued that that teaching is in consistent with loyalty to the Sovereign of these realms ; but, sir, I look to results. will not raise the question of doctrine, but I will ask the hon. member for Warwick .whether the people of Leland were ever mere loyal than they are at the present moment, whether they were ever more turning their attention to social improvements and the develop.nent of the national resources, whether the country was ever more tranquil and quiet; and whether there ever was a monaeut when, if you are to judge of in struction by results, you had ever better reasons for being satisfied with the teaching of the people of Ireland ? Much stress has been laid on the conduct of Irish soldiers and sailors in the late war, but there never was a period in the history of this country in which :Irishmen engaged in the army and navy did not do their duty to admiration, anti in a manner which made them an honour to the na tion to which they belong. (Cheers.) There b, there fore, nothing peculiar, however praiseworthy, in the con duct of our Irish fellow-subjects during the operations which have been closed in the peace which has lately been eigned. (Hear.) But I look ou this question as one of political expediency, whilst the hon. member for Warwick and those who support his melon Say, " Oh, there is a Leniency in the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church to direct the attention of Men towards foreign authority and montane doctrines. Well, 'there may be 041 in those sloctrinhs —l' will not dispute that with the hon. gentle man. But would he add to the evilsof having their priests thus educated, the evil of having chain brought up in a foreign country, strati:o'6'm W e rt land, an d coining bacnnbued with feelings totally at variance with nation ality and patriotism? Does the hon. member think that by educating the priests abroad he would amend that con dition which is the great object of this animadversion? We say, whether these priests do or do not entertain pecu liar doctrines of ecclesiastical description, at all events let there be brought up as Irishmen • let them not be sen t f or instruction abroad ; let them not back imbued with foreign feelings. If- their doctrines be ultramontane, let their feelings at least be those of Irishmen, and 1 am wil ling to trust to their loyalty. On these grounds, without 'oiug through matters too long to discuss, and on which I could not hope to change the hon. - member's opinion, I shall vote against the motion. I hope that this matter may never come before us again, but I should never be in clined to follow the example of the hon. member. I should much rather fellow the examples mentioned by the hou. and learned member for Sheffield, men who were not worse Protestants than the honourable member, but were better statesmen, and batter understood the interests of the coantry—inen who were animated by sentiments more. avorthy of Erglish legislators, and who felt that they• Were not in any way sacrificing then' own principles by affording to the clergy of a large portion of their fel low-countrymen the means of acquiring their education at home. I shall certainly vote against both the motion and the amendment, and I should' hope the house will think it time at last to put au end to these irritating pole mical discussions. (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER, iu reply, denied that he had intro duced the subject in an irritating manner. With him the question was one of principle. The house divided, first upon Mr. A. Black's amend ment 'to extend the inquiry into the endowments of the Established Church and the Presbyterian religion in Ire. land. Ayes Noes Another division then took place on the original clues- Ayes- 159 Noes The amendment was received with loud cheers by Mr. Spooner's friends. " The house then went into committee, Mr. NEWDEGATS having taken the chair amidst some cheering. Mr. SPOONER at once moved, " That the chairman do ask leave to bring in a bill to provide for the withdrawal of any endowment out of the Consolidated Fund to the College of Maynooth, due regard- being had to vested rights and interests." Mr. HUTCHINS moved as an amendment, that, the Chairman should leave the chair and report progress. Lord PALMERSTONoexpeessed hie •approval of the amewiraent, and hoped that the progress proposed to be reported would be the only progress made in the matter. (Laughter.) The committee divided, when the numbers were— For the amendment .. . Against it Majority against —22 Mr. H. HERBERT rose, amid cheers and laughter, and said—l am anxious, Mr. Newdegate, to have the benefit of yoer opinion on a matter of some moment. I have had the honour of hearing you put the question in as distinct a manner as it is possible for a question to be put, and, melees my ears deceived me strangely, when you called upon such members as were of opinion that you should re port progress to say " Aye," I hear , ' the hon. member for North Wz.rwiekeltire utter that word. (Cheers, laughter, and much,confusion.) lam not sufficiently versed in the usages of the house to know how that fact should affect the division list.. (Cries of "Oh !") The subject under discussion is one of very deep interest to my constituency, and as it is of great importance that there should not be any misrepresentation as to the numbers who have voted on this occasion 1 take leave to ask you whether we of the minority may not claim the vote of the hon. member for North Warwickehilre, who, I repeat, distinctly said "Aye' to the questi on th a t you do leave the chair. - (Laughter:) The CHAIRMAN—In reply to the hon. gentleman, I beg to say that as no notice was taken of the circumstance at the time it cannot now be entertained. (Cheers.) Captain D. O'CONNELL moved, that the chairman do leave the chair. (Cheers and cries of "Oh !") Mr. JAMES M`GREGOR expressed with much warmth his surprise that - the solemn decision of the house should be treated as a farce by the First Minister of the Crown. (Cheers.) Notice of the intention to move for the present committee had been given to all members in the usual manner; and he had not expected that after th e honae.had p ronounce d it s d e lib era te judgment on a ques tion of such importance the noble lord at the head of the Government should have met - the motion for reporting progress with such levity as to express a hope that that was the only " progress" that would be made in the mat. ter. (Hear.) Though a humble member, he (Mr. M • Gregor) would raise his voice against such a mode of dealieg with a solemn question, regarded by . the people of this country as one of vital importance in principle. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON-L-1f anything I said was deficient in soLeanity, I certainly cannot retort the charge on the hon. geetlewan—(l aug hter)--- r whoes speech was as solemn as anything I remember to have heard. At the none time, he must 311317 me to say that I am nob at All sensible that there is any impropriety in a member who is opposed to a certain measure expressing a hope that it will make no 141:440Z i'Wereel• Pilitekkoße .x' 044 BOAR* Wi • 4 - slightest disrespect to the hon. member, must still adhere. (Cneers.) But I would begof the hon. gentleman who has moved the present amendment to withdraw it and permit the committee to come to a decision on the main question. (Rear.) When the motion" was made for your leaving the chair and reporting progress, I thought it quite right to support it, but the committee having decided otherwise, and the discussion having been brought to a close, it is manifestly more fitting that we should come at once to a vote on the main question than that we should be longer detained by such amendments as that of the hon. member for Trate.. (Heal.) If a bill be brought in there will, of course, be ample opportunity to debate it in all its stages. Capt. D. O'COgNELL withdrew his amendment. The committee then divided on the main question—the introdultion of the bill. The numbers were— Ayes . Noes . 159 142 Majority —l7 The house then resumed, and leave was given to intro duce the bill. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. Mr. STAFFORD rove to move for a select committee to inquire into the state of the medics' department of the army. He had no wish to rake up the records of the past, and his sole object was that the whole subject should be in quired into by an impartial committee, with the view of seeing whether any case could be made out which required the interference of that house.. He was happy to say that the .noble lord at the head of the Government, under whose auspices so many satisfactory military reforms had been carried out, had no objection to the appointment of this committee, and he would not therefore trespass any longer on the attention of the house. The motion wairagreed to. LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND). Mr. HORSMAN obtained leave to bring in a bill to ex plain and amend the acts relating to lunatic asylums in Ireland. TRANSPORTATION. On the motion of isiTgiAFFC;;D:4;:Milnes was added to the committee appointed to inquire into this subject. On the motion of Mr. BAINES, Sir W, Heathcote was discharged- from this committee, and Mr. Ker Seymer was added to it. THE SECRETARIES OF STATE. Mr. MURROUGH asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the persons now holding the offices of principal Secretaries of State had been duly appointed by letters patent, and whether there was any objection to lay on the table the letters patent which had been granted and were now in force ? The CIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the doctrine which had always been received in regard to Secretaries of State was that the delivery of the seals in vested the person to whom they were delivered with all the powers and functions of the office. Up to a recent date it had been'use , l afterwards to take out letters patent, by which the powers of the office were'in some way defined and confirmed. A short time since that practice was al tered, and of the present Secretaries of State only a por tion had taken out letters patent. Whether the persons now holding the office had been duly appointed was a pus tion of law which he could not answer. As to the informa tion sought for by the hon. member, there would be no ob jection to lay on the table a return of the names of persons to whom letters patent had been granted. Mr. MURROUGH moved for the return in the terms suggested by the right hon. gentleman, and it was ordered. BLEACHING, kc. WORKS. On the motion of Mr. I. BlafT, the order for the second reading of ties it was read and dise t harod., TheJitll was then withdrawn, and leave was given to bring in a bill to fegiilate the hours of labour of 'women and young persons in bleaching and dyeing works. SUPPLY. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and the resolutions agreed to. EXCHEQUER BILLS (21,182,7001.) BILL. This bill passed through committee. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. SPOONER brought iu the bill on this subject, which was read a first time. The house then adjourned at a quarter past 12 o'clock, From the London Gazette of Last Night, FOREIGN-OFFICE, APRIL 14.

Indian corn had-a slight reaction from the depressed latices of Friday last, and we have unwilling sellers.

In addition to the above, 205,810 pouds of powder and 25,000,000 cart ridges were consumed. THE JEALOUS EMPRESS.—The Paris correspondent. ef the New York Times states that two years ago a Mi.,' Snead, an Irish lady of great beauty, first visited Paris, and the Emperor Napoleon paid her marked attend el. "The consequence was, that wherever after ee .rds Miss Sinea.i's name was seen on Lerd Cewley's list for an ievitiation to a ball at the Tuileriee, the Empress Eugenie was careful to have the name stricken off. Miss Sewed soon , li , c.eeered the nature of the difficulty, and deter. mined to have her revenge. A few nights ago the R e p eret , and Empress were preeeet at a soirée at Lord Cewley'e, Miss &lead was also there. Tee Empress passed through a room where Miss &need and oth, , r ladies were sealed ; all rose as her Majesty passed hut Miss Snead. The Ein pre.-s noticed the act, and felt the insult. Her Majesty ha, become notoriously irritable within the last few months, and every care is t•-ken to avoid vio'ent erneti ene. T he good of the country, of post,rity, of the wo , Id at large, but especially of the Bonaparte dynasty, depends up an it. An officer of the household of her Majesty approached Miss Snead, and reinonstreed with her for her conduct. Miss Smear' replied that it was sot the hetet in England to rise thus for the Queen. and certainly she would n do it for the Enprese of France. What passed between the Emperor and Eeipress in another remit eay be imagined, for soon Napoleon entered the r , om het e Miss Smead was, and seeing her standieg on th e floor ira conversation with a gentleman, be approached them, and, bowing coldly to the lady, stepped between thew, turned his back to Miss Smead, and engaged the gentle man in conversation for some minutes."
