The Earl of ESSEX concurred. in opinion with the Ishille Earl on the necessity of cautionin reconimending to the alii gistracy.

Some private Bills were brought from the Commons by Mr. HOLME SUMNER and Mr. DAVENPORT. ANTI-CATHOLIC PETITIONS. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the Churchwardens and Inhabitants of Wyley and Whiteley, in the county of Salop,pgainst the Catholic Claims. He observ ed that the petition was respectfully worded, and properly drawn up. H e took this opportunity of stating, that the Noble Lord near him (Lord Holland) showed by what he said last night, that his meaning had been misunderstood. He had not said that the words of petitions ought never to be.eomrnented upon. On the contrary, be thought it very natural, when Noble Lords disapproved of the language or terms of a petition, that they should mention their disapprobation ; and if they approv ed of the style and object of a petition, that they should pass it by unnoticed. Lord KENYON presented a petition against the Catholic Claims from Whitehurch ; and Lord AUDEN one to the same effect from Bath. The Duke of. NEWCASTLE presented a petitlon- against the Catholic Claims, from Redrimi, in Nottinghamshire„ and expressed his hope that - thebible of the House would soon be covered with similar petitions. It was now full time for the people of this country to step forward, .and declare their senti ments (mi. this subject : and he hoped that _every honest man would put his name to petitions against concessions to the Ca tholics, the danger of granting which was so strongly apprz liended by the nation. He thought that the sense of that dan ger,expressed by the petitioners,was not altogether unworthy of their Lordships' notice. He moved that it be read, and laid on the table. Articles. Quantities.

Though the advantages that must be derived from the erec tion of a Suspension Bridge over the Tyne from North to South Shields, both in a local and national point of view, are obvious, a few of the most important may be thus enu merated : The population of North Shields and Tynemouth, and the population of South Shields and Westoe, form a total of 50,000 inhabitants, exceeding any town on the great North Road between London and Edinburgh ; but the river is a great obstacle to general intercourse. In passing, or conveying goods across the river at Shields by boats, it roust be acknowledged that the risk, at all times great, has been rendered more so of late by the increase of traf fic, and the rapid movements of the numerous steam vessels, which greatly endanger the lives of persons crossing, of which there are innumerable instances. The Bridge would remedy the evil, anti the large population of both towns, now divided, would derive incalculable advantages from the Union. North Shields would then be within 7 miles of Sunderland, though at present any person travelling post between those towns, will find the distance to be nearly 20 miles ; and the line of com munication between Sunderland and South Shields with 3lnr peth, the great Alan for cattle, would be cotsaiderably shortened. Sunderland is 27 miles from Morpeth by Newcastle, at present the only road, but by way of North Shields, where there is now an excellent turnpike, the distance would be reduced to 23 miles. The distance from South Shields to Morpeth, through Newcastle, is 26 miles, but by North Shields it would not exceed 17 miles of good and level turnpike-road. In each case, the hills and pavement, from the Barras Bridge at New_ castle to the head of Gateshead (an inconvenience much corn plained of, and which does mote injury to cattle than driving them 6 or 7 miles upon an ordinary turnpike) would be avoid ed, and the expence and delay of keeping the cattle upon the road (no trifling consideration) would be saved. The Resident in North Shields would have a conveyance from his own door directly southward, whilst those of South Shields and Sunderland would find a similar advantage in pro ceeding northward. The increasing populous towns of Blyth and Hartley, (of great consequence from their connection with collieries which are multiplying in their neighbouithood) the former distant from North Shields ten miles, the latter six miles, both situated on the sea coast, will receive the greatest benefit from the Bridge in their communication with the south, through sea port towns with which they have considerable and important intercourse ; and they will also partake of the general improve ment of North and South Shields. The persons interested in Sunderland Bridge and in the roads from South Shields to Durham and Stockton, from North Shields to Newcastle, and from Shields to Morpeth, must reap great advantage from the increase of passage which the Bridge will promote, The project will bear consideration not only as a mere matter of local importance, but in a national point of view, as regards the advantage Government will derive from the facility which will be given to the passage of troops, ordnance, and stores from North to South Shields. Tynemouth Castle has been long used as a depot for military stores; but the want of a ready communication with the southern bank of the river, was con stantly felt during the late war, when a bridge of barges and flat bottomed boats was constructed at enormous expence to little purpose. It is understood that the distance from North Shields to Edin burgh, by a coast road, is shorter than from Newcastle to that city, by five or six miles, and by a more level road ; and that a saving of six or seven miles can be made in the distance from Yolk to South Shields. It follows, then that, by a Bridge over the Tyne at Shields, the distance is shortened, between York and Edinburgh, twelve or thirteen miles, which will deserve the attention and support of his Lordship the Postmaster General. An alteration is about to be made in the running of the mail, to pass from Suilderland to Newcastle, missing South Shields; ye t it is certain this measure, so serious an evil to the inhabitants is only resorted to for want of the projected Bridge. It is needless to comment on the advantages which will result to individual 3 whose estates are in the immediate vicinity of the •Bridge, or the extern parts of Durham and Northumber. land. The establishment of a good market at Shields must necessarily follow, from the encreased demand of the large united population and the facility of supply. Though the great benefit the ancient and commercial town of Newcastle, the capital of the North, must derive from the prosperity of Shields ! , as not been stated as one of the advan tages to be calculated upon from the Suspension Bridge, it ought not to be overlooked, especially when the great increase of trade is considered which must accrue from the proposed rail-road_to Carlisle. , Capt. Brown under takes that the cost of the Bridgeand erec tions shall not exceed 93,000/., which is to be provided for by a capital of 100,000/. in shares of one hundred pounds each. It only; therefore, remains to satisfy the Capitalist that he will receive a remunerating interest, of which there is every prospect. The tolls are estimated on the present existing intercourse between the two towns and adjacent country, at a very moderate calculation, to produce 6,000/. per annum, though an immense increase may be fairly contemplated as soon as the Bridge is opened. Indeed there can be no doubt, independent of all the intercourse of the district, that this will be a consider able thoroughfare for travellers pursuing their route along the coast, who tvill thus embrace the opportunity of crossing the Bridges of Sunde rl a nd and Shields, the l atter prom i s i ng to be one of the noblest works in the kingdom. Lastly, The advantages to be derived are not, as in most of the projects of the present_ day, f a ll acious or visionary ; there as the benFfits, both can be no decePt public and private, mav be contemplated and appreclated by every one possessing local knowledge. . . übser!ption lists are left at the banks in Newcastle, N. B. S: Shields; Sunderland, Durham, and Stockton - and with Messrs. ,F • dCy an • hapinan, bankers, Lond on . One-third of the capital is ralready subsctibed. COLOMBIAN LOAN, Is-n.

D. PoucHEE. and Fashion, by ,Lord KING hoped that their Lordships had been duly edi fied by the very tolerant petition which they had just heard read. The petitioners, in the fellness of their generosity, were willing to allow the Roinan Catholics to worship God in their own way; but this, it seems, was the utmost extent of their to leration to one-third of his - Majesty's subjects, whom they wish to exclude from all the °tinr privileges of freemen. Their Lordships had heard something last night of its having been said that the.clergy were proscribed. Now he must say that the Noble Duke, who hoped that every honest man in the coun try would come forward and sign petitions against the Catho lics, 'had made the most sweeping proscription he was acquaint ed with ; for under the stigma of dishonesty he proscribed all the Roman Catholics of the United Kingdom, who formed a third part of the population, and, in addition to them, all those Protestants who did not choose to sign such petitions us that which the Noble Duke had presented. Though the endeav ours made to get up peti t i ons o f this kind were. great, the opinion of the country on the question could not be disguised. The hope to raise again the cry.or " No Popery," which had so much in fluence some years ago, was vain. That horrid cry was now dead, he trusted for ever. QUARANTINE LAWS. The Earl of DARNLEY, after saying a few words in allu sion to the preceding question, which we did not hear, stated, that his main object in rising was to inform their Lordships that he intended to call their attention to a subject which appeared to him to be one of the greatest importance. The subject to which he alluded was the modification proposed to be made in the quarantine laws, acthrding to which, as he understood, it .was intended that vessels.commg direct from the Levant loaded with cotton, were to he allowed to land their cargoes without the delay and precautions which had.hithertobeen thought ne cessary. lie thought that their Lordships could not too care fully and anxiously investigate this delicate question, before they consented to do away those rev,ulations under which the health.of the country had been fir so long a period preserved. —He should call 6.'ir Lordships' attention to the subject on Tuesday next, as he understood that that day would not be in convenient to the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government. SCOTS -PEERS. ' Lord COLCHESTER brought up a report from the Com mittee appointed to inquire into the state of the law respecting the trial of Peers for offences committed in Scotland. The Report being laid on the tulle, the Noble Lord stated that he held in his hand a bill founded on the report, which he would propose should be now read a first time. The bill was accordingly - read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Nit. KEN RICK. The Earl of ESSEX rose, and reminded their Lordships, that a few weeks ago he had had ventured to trouble the House on the subject of Mr. Kenrick, the Magistrate, whose case was one of public notoriety. He then asked the Noble and Learned Lord a question relative to that case, but received no satisfactory answer. It was his wish to have grounded some motion upon the proceedings which had taken place in the Court of King's Bench, but there were technical objections in the way, which prevented him from adopting that course. From the affi davits which were before the public, - their Lordships must be aware that a gross violation of justice had been committed. lie should not trouble their Lordships with a statement of the par ticulars, because a compromise had taken place, and because they niust have seen the report of 'the proceedings on the motion for a criminal information, in the public papers. The speech of the Attorney-Genera!, on that occasion, sufficiently spewed .the disgust which the conduct of Mr. Kenrick had excited, and he understood that several Magistrates, who bad sat on the bench with him, concurred with the opinion which had been ex pressed in the Court. He had heard, however, that Mr. Ken_ rick was still retained in his situati on o f a NVelch Judge, and was also still a Justice of the Peace for the County of Surrey._ He could now only repeat the question lie had formerly put to the Noble and Learned Lord—namely, whether he had received any communication on the subject of Mr. Kenrick from the Court of King's Bench. It must remain with the Noble and Learned Lord to act in the way he might think proper. The conduct of a. Magistrate who had acted as 11l r. Kenrick was said . to have done, could not, in his opinion, be passed over unno ticed ; and he was sure the Noble and Learned Lord wished to see justice fairly administered. At present, all he wished to ask was, whether the Noble- and Learned Lord had received any communication on the the subject?—[The. Lord Chan cellor said a few words.)--The Noble and Learned Lord said he had received no communication. He had then only to re peat, that it remained with the Noble and Learned Lord to. determine what was to he clone. If the Noble and Learned Lord did not think fit to - dismiss this Magistrate from the commis sion, he had no more to say on the subject. The Earl of LI I'E RPOOL observed, that Mr. Keurick stead precisely in the same situation as any other Judge, and mi ld not he removed from his office except on an address to his Ilia jesty, in which both Houses of Parliament must concur. • The Earl of ESSEX said he was perfectly aware of the diffi cultv to which the Noble Earl had alluded. Tlie LORD CHANCKLLOR assured the Noble Earl who had just sat down, That his- not 'answering his . question on a former occasion was solely owing to his not having heard it in consequence of the distance at which he sat.

CALL OF THE HOUSE. On a motion for leave of absence for a member for a fort night, on urgent private business, Sir J. NEWPORT rose to declare, that he would divide the House against every motion of this kind which was not accom panied with a medical certificate of incapacity to attend. The Importance of the question to be taken into consideration on the night for which he had moved for the call of the House was such as to render the absence of any member, on any other account, totally inexcusable. lie was determined to enforce the cali, and to oppose the grant of leave of absence in any other cases than those attested by medical certificate of incapacity to at tend. . . Several ;notions of the kind were made notwithstanding, and leave was obtained. Mr: CURWEN presented a petition from -Workington, for an alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. DAwsoN brouWit up returns of - persons committed, eon -victed, and imprisoned under the Gante Laws. BRF,ACII OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. PEEL called the attention of the House to a Petitifn which he held in his band, alleging a gross inj ust i ce whit;n had been done . the petitioners, and which comprised ano less gross breach of the privileges of the House. On the 17th of March last, the Hon. Baronet, Member for 'Waterford, had presented a petition to the House, professing to he signed by 14 persons of the town of Rallinasloe in favour of conceding to the Roman Catholics their claims. The petition now presented *as signed by 13 out of the 14 natces attached to the fortr,T petition, and they complained that a forgery .had been com mitted,. by. which sentiments had been attributed to them the opposite . of those which they held towards the Homan:Catho lics, and the House been impose:11100h accordingly. The question for the consideration of the House would be, how to justify the wrong done to the general right of petitioning, both as it respected the credibility of petitions, and the readiness of Members to present theni ; and in the next place how to vin dicate their privilege from so gross an indignity. ft would, he impossible to present petitions, if the reliance of Members in the representations of petitioners were shaken ; arid in a coun try so distant as Ireland, none but written representations could generally be had. If the present petition should be received, ;e would move for a select Committee to inquire into the cir. cumstances. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, that he had presented. the p et i t i on o f the 17th of March upon the same grounds of conh dence which he had for nMe-tenths of all the petitions be ever presented—the written representations of those who professed to be the subscribing parties, who accompanied their state ment with much ciretunstmtial information. I 7 ndoubtedly he had been deceived, and the House had in consequence misled; and it was tit that the abuse should be sought out and punished. Mr. PEEL said, that the petitioners were Aware that the Hon. Baronet had been grossly imposed upon, and that be w.. 4 not at all to blame. The petition was brought up and referred, together with that of March 17, to a Select Committee, 10 examine and report 0 the House. • LINEN LAWS. Sir IL PARNELL withdrew his niniet' of motion upon:this subject, in consequence of an understanding that. Governtmnt were about to Move for a Committee, before which the inquiry could be more effectually conducted. :'• ' Sir GEORGE it then moved for a select Committee inquire into the laws for the regulation of the lin ers' manufae , tures in Ireland, especially i n regard m the importation of hemp and dressed flax. After a discussion, in which Mr. MABERLY, Mr. lIUME, •Mr. ROBERTSON, and Mr. PITZ.. OEBALD, said a few words each, the Committee troy ap_, pointed. IRISH PLURALITIES. Sir J. NEWPORT rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to liMit the power of holding a plurality of benefice's, and to re peal the Statutes,. granting to the Archbishops and Bishops the powerofforming episcopal unions in Ireland. Theonly pretences held out for the reason of the caw in regard to _unions we*., continuity, weight of debt, and inability to meet the expellees. What. would the-House say to a parish connected With another, under these powers of union, which were eighteen roiles esural t He wished to draw the consideration of the House to this tlueis_ tion; because it was one which involved the well-titig of the established church in lreland.. It teas right that 0 - e bode of the people in that country who , adhered to the.established should have the fair means of religious instruction. What be had tonffer to the House on this subject would be deduced from the actual statement of the Archbishops and Bishop* of tre'a'd themselves, contained in the papers laid before the tidvrrnment on the:state of the church in Ireland. The Primate Of Ireland stated, that, the union of pal ishes in that country might !m a k amongst the greateat defects of the system by' which. it• was verned. 'The • episcopal unions, it should be observed, [nigh: to be distinguished from those. made by the Lord. Lieutenant and the Privy Council. The former were not placed under the same restrictions as the latter. if the House would examine the statements on the subject, which were laid before Parlia ment in 1811 and 1820, they would at once perceive the evils arising from this system. He took the trouble to inqiiire into thegrounds on which these episcopal unions were, formed, and he had come to this sonclusion, that there was rihr.in reality *- statute:allowing Archbishops and Bishops to make them. Th e ; a i was an Act of Parliament of the reign of Charles 11. which , gave a semblance of that speciesof power ; hut in, his 'opinion the construction placed upon that statute was not correct. He' had also examined into the power exercised on this point by the Archbishops and. Bishops of England, and he discovered that, with the exception of the Bishop of Norwich, no sad) authority, was delegated to the prelates of this country. If such a power existed at all, it would be more likely to have been. allowed in, England than in. Ireland, because here it would be more directly controulled by the force of public opinion. The Right lion. Baronet then proceeded to allude to the evidence which had , been laid before Parliament relative to the episcopal,' pions, and narrated several cases where the parishes thus united extended. over a very large tract of country, some of them beitig not less than eighteen miles distant from eaclio o t t her. . It wasimpossible, where parishes w e rethu s wid e ly separit;etis that a Clergyman. could attend to the duties of both. In one union, three parishes , were connected 20'thiles long, and nine miles'brved; in another union, the tract which it comprised was Om i leSlivitg„ The condo ct of the Archbisho pi and lii3Oops had therefof#.
