Lord COLCHESTER presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Yarmouth, Norfolk, praying their Lordtthip& not to grant any further concessions to the Catholics. The Earl of LONGFORD presented a petition from the Clergy of the Diocese in Meath, itgairist granting any further concessions to the Catholics. • The Bishop of London presented a similar petition. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from the Noblemen and Landed Proprietors of the County of Waterford, praying for the Removal of the Magistrates of Kilmack thotnas. The NOBLE DUKE then offered another petition to their Lordships' notice, from a parish in Dungarvon, praying for the Removal of the disabilities under which the Catholics labour. In offering this petition to their Lordships, his Grace said that he felt himself called on to _trespass for a short time on their Lordships' attention, while he - expressed his regret at the unhappy feelings which had been excited iii the Catholics of Ire land by a late decision in another House. From principle and from justice he had invariably felt a strong opinion on the expe diency of granting the Catholic Minis ; and if any thing could add to the strength of this conviction, it- was the circumstances of the past year which had established the fact, that all the Catholics felt as one man on this great question. The in. stances of intemperance which had happened from "a violent - ex citement of -the-people on So:importanta subject should- -not-pre vent their Lordships from taking it into their serious considera tion. What, he woulrtask, was it- which caused that close union among the CatholiT which now existed ? What was_ it but Catho lic exclusion: 'lt- was that denial 'of -their constitutional rights which ought to be denied to- - unless. for reasons fur atrongos ,than .he had toterzheardLurged athat' Monet for.e-welud.7 ing the. Catholics. That exclusion it was,,lvhicb, in his opinion, formed an insuperable obstacle to .the improvement of Ireland; and kept up that fever cf agitation which destroyed all: the com forts, and even all the charities of life in that unhappy country. There was no alternative left, and he called-on those:wbo were opposed to admitting the Catholics to, share all the privikges of the Constitution, to concur with- those in their effort*, who were labouring to procure this justice for the Catholics before it was too late. :He' called on them, to do this, not in-the inte rest. ofthe Catholics_ only, but in the interest of the Protestants also, - who were considerable sufferers by the present divided and _ . - distracted state of the country. He addressed their Lordships as one who had been exposed to the censure pf those to whose cause he was sincerely attached—and sosincerelyattached, that he was not to be deterred from the conscientious discharge of his duty by their unjust eeniiire. He bad not abated his zeal in their canse, and he felt more strongly - than - ever - the necessity of doing them justice. Whatever he could do he would do, both in that" House and elsewhere,' to support their cause. While he made thiS declara tion, he must at the same time express his deep regret, that a de termination had been come to not to take the claims of the Catho lics into consideration, as that would have the bad effect of weak ening the efforts of those who were the strongest advocates of tem perance, .and who, as long as there was some hope, might be the mediators between the violent parties on both sides. But it had pleased those who possessed the power, to refuse to take the claims of the Catholics into consideration, and they could no longer have any expectations of redress from a Government involved in difficulties and divisions, not less than those of the defeated multitude. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, with all his respect for the Noble Duke—and no man could feel more than he did he could not allow that his observation, on refusing to take the Claims of the Catholics into consideration, was just, nor did he think refusing all consideration of those claims was at present to be deprecated. He thoughtit his duty to call their Lordships' attention to the course of proceedings which had taken place on this within the last few year!. Twenty years ago the motion, which had lately been repeated, had first been made. It was to take the Claims of the Roman Catholics into consideration, and objections were then made by persons as much attached to the Constitution, and to the civil and religious liberties of this coun try, as any men whO ever entered that House. The objection they' made to this motion was, that it was so general, that it would hare a tendency to raise, in the Protestants of this country, an appre hension for their civil and religious liberties, and 'at the same time to create in the Roman Catholics greater hopes than, under a Protestant Legislature and a Protestant King, could ever be ful filled. This general motion had been repeated; but after it was found that it could not be carried in this shape, measures, specify ing the particular relief to be given, were proposed by those who thought something ought to be done. Day after day these mea cures had been discussed, Bills were brought in, and the Bills were rejected. The subject, therefore, had been well considered. Never theleis, twenty years after the first motion was made, an exactly similar motion is made; though twenty years before, when at tention had been called to it by the ablest advocates the Roman Catholics had ever possessed, Parliament bad not thought it right to adopt it. He would take the liberty of stating, after giving the subject the most careful attention, that no motion for taking into consideration the state of the Catholics—after the frequent attention which bad been given to specific measuree for carrying into execution the plans proposed for their relief, and after those specific measures had been rejected—no motion for merely taking their claims into consideration could be adopted. He would only say, as to what had fallen from the Noble Duke, and those who entertained the same opinions that he entertained, that there was no man alive who had a higher opinion of the sincerity and conscientious conviction of those Noble Peers than he had ; but the Noble Duke must allow him to say, that other persons with the same conscientious conviction, after considering the subject with the greatest care, were persuaded that it would be sacrificing the civil and religious liberties of the country to grant the prayers of the Catholics. He had looked at what had lately passed, and he could solemnly declare that he felt it was now infinitely more dificult that their claims should be granted than it was three years ago —( Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not intend to offer one word to their Lordships on the petition presented by the Noble Dnke ; but after what had fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord, he was anxious to mak:ialicf hew h o e hse a rv dm at i i t o t n ed s toit their Lordships. The ob serva ti on s of the Noble and L earne d Lord were directed ag a i nst t h e mo ti o n, was his intention to have asked their Lordships' assent to, had net circumstances, which were well known to their Lordships, in duced him to withdraw it; but he could not conceive that there was any measure more-natural than to call on their Lordships to take the situation of the-Cathialics into their consideration, before he called on theist to adopt' any specific measure with regard to -# - them. This measure had been Originally proposed ; and those measures had been brought in which the circtstances of the times had suggested as specific remedies, and under the influence of the Noble and Learned Lord these measures had been rejected —(Hear, hear)—and not merely rejected, but treated with con tempt, though brought bi by the . ablest and wisest men of the time, who had offered those securities eiieleel for by the Noble and Learned Lord, and who, when these securities wera offered, had not only rejected the measures, but he would say, had treated them with contempt.—(Hear, hear.)—After these specific mea sures were rejected, he asked their Lordships what more ra tional course he could pursue—what safer part he could take, than to say to their Lordships, see what is the state of Ire land, from your having rejected these measures, and to call on them to take that state into their consideration, unless the evils were to continue.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord had stated that from time to time, propositions had been brought forward, and from time to time rejected ; but time after time the condition of the country had become worse. —(Hear, hear.) That was its state nrider the Government to which the Noble and 'Learned Lord gave his support ; that was the fruit of a state of the law to which the Noble and Learned Lori expressed his determination not to take into consideration, which he regarded as perfect, but, from the perfection of which, their Lordships unfortunately knew what evil consequences had arisen. If the Noble and Learned Lord could conceive that no circumstances had arisen in the course of last year, which gave to this question a new form, and furnished new grounds for taking it into consideration—(Hear, hear,)—if he could believe that danger to the Constitution of the country—danger to the Church—danger to the future prosperity of the country had not manifested itself in the course of the last summer, imposing on every reasonable and thinking man the duty of reflecting on what would be the situation of Ireland ; should, as that Noble and Learned Lord proposed, no measure be carried to satisfy the country, he (the Marquess of Lat. - fed:jets') could only say, that the Noble and Learned Lord, if he supposed this, was not ac quainted with those circumstances in the situation of that country which had forced themselves on the attention of eve) , man connected with it ; which had displayed, in the strongest and bitterest manner, and in the most mischievous form, the elements of - confusion, tending to disunite and break up society. And "according to the Noble and Learned Lord, their Lordships were to await the dissolution of society, and not take into their consideration the elements of all this confession, and were not to inquire into what means would enable them to meet and subdue the threatened danger; they were to abandon the duty of Government. But he would not enter further into the subject ; lie waited impatiently to see what the opinion of a Government would be. (Hear, hear.) He waited to see whether there existed a Government or not; and then, in the discharge of his. duty, he should consider in what manner he should state those circumstances which seemed to be unknown to the Noble and Learned Lord, and which had informed the understanding, and alarmed the apprehensions of every man who looked to the future, as connected with the interest and harmony of all the King's subjects ; and who considered that, without the continuation of those social relations, as their Lord ships might learn- from all history, it was impossible for any State to exist. He thought it his duty to say thus much, after the very unexpected observations of the Noble and Learned Lord (hear, hear); and in justice to his Noble Friend, who had made a speech which did him great honour, on no more important a motion than moving that a petition be laid on their Lordships' table. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The Noble Lord had been pleased to state that the measures proposed at different times for the relief of the Catholics had been rejected by the in fluence of a Noble and Learned Lord, meaning the humble indi vidual who then had the honour of addressing their Lordships. He would - say that God forbid that should be the case. He had stated his opinion, he hoped, with confidence; but he was sure their Lordships' decisions had been guided- by considerations pro per to a Protestant Legislature, and of what was due to a Pro testant Government; and that they had, in their decisions, never paid more respect than was due to the opinion of any one indivi dual. It was -not, he thought, treating their Lordships with mulch respect, to say that theirdeeisions had been formed on other grounds. He hoped; that at the close of his long life, he should continue to conduct himself that the. subjects of a Protestant-Kieg and of a Protestant Legislature would be -onvinced that he-went to his grave without having done any thing to lessen the security" of their civil and religious liberties. As to what had been - stated of securities, _he thought that what had been proposed had been very inefficient, and that they Might as well have no securities at all as dune which had hitherto been offere , '.---(Hear, -hears)— He would solemnly declare, that-securities,_more weak.; more efficient, had never been offered to Parliament by able men. He Could assure the Noble MarqUis, for whom, lie could assure him, that he,entertained a sincere respect, he had- a right to, say to. that Noble Lord, that he ought to give credit to others for the since rity of their conviction and of their opinions; as well as to the - .Roixtan _Catholics. -There -we& roan,» tie country a'gieater friend to toleration than- .he was ; and on that ground - lie hoped and trusted he should receive credit for his sincerity, when he conjured their Lordships—as he should, if they were the last words he was_ ever to address to them—For God's sake, for the sake of the Protestants of the country, for the sake of the Ca tholics themselves, preserve that Constitution—(Hear, hear !) which had been before preserved by the-exertions of -their ances tors, and give the Catholics every thing which a-British. Legisla ture can give them, but legislative power in a Protestant State. • '-The petition presented - by the Duke of Devonshire was then read, and laid on the table. NAVIGATION LAWS. _ _ The Marquess of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from the Ship-owners, Mast and Sail-makers, and various other Tradesmen of the Port of Sunderland, complaining of the alteration in the Navigation Laws. The Noble Marquess said, he felt embarrassed in calling their Lordships' attention to this subject, having presented other petitions with the same prayer; but the individuals who petitioned their Lordships felt that i: was necessary, to do something for the protection of their own inte rests. There bad been most important changes made in our policy, and in the measures relative to our trade. When he looked back to the time when a much lamented and beloved rela tive of his influenced the Councils of the country, they seemed then to be consistent with prosperity at home, and security abroad. At present, our policy was all changed, and we had less security abroad, and less prosperity at home. The Navigation Acts of Charles IL had been infringed on, step by step, and he did not know to what extent the experiments might go, if those connected with the shipping interest, and those connected with the landed property, did not make a stand and check the trial of-experiments. He hoped the time was not far off, when they should see who presided over his Majesty's Councils, that they might know by what principles they were to be governed. He saw a schism in the Government, which he should be glad to See at an end, that the country might know to whom it ought to look up. H e would beg the petitioners to wait till the Gove rnment was se ttled before they applied for a measure that should afford them some relief. It was melancholy to reflect on the calamiti es w hi c h had fallen on the Members of hi s M a j es ty's Government, and he lamente d that the individ ua l s w h o oug h t t h en t o b e i n t h e i r p l ace s to answer questions—the P res id en t o f t h e B oar d o f T ra d e , an d the Secretary for Foreign Aff a i r s — s h ou ld b e l y i ng on a s i c k b e d. He hoped this state of things would not long continue, and that a Govern ment would soon be settled, that the people might look up to. It was possible, if no other Noble Lord of more abilities than him self, brought this subject under their Lordships' consideration, he should think it his duty to ask soma elfstinct questions.—Th e petition was then read, and laid on the Table. wNSHlßEpresented in tlie county a peti tion of i- Lord MELVILLE p resen ted a petition from a Committe e o f th e G enera l A ssem bly of the Church of Sc o tl an d, against any a lt era ti o n i n th e C o rn Laws.

Lord SUFIIELD presented a petition, signed by the Lord Lieutenant, the High Sheriff, th e f our Ch a i rmen o f th e Quarter Sessions, and fifty-eight Magistrates of the county of Norfolk, against the Game Laws. The petition was read, and laid on the table- Lord WHARNCLIFFE then moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Bill to amend the Game Laws. He was anxious, before their Lordships entered on the discussion, to state the objects of the measure, as he wished their Lordships might not discuss the clauses of the Bill, but rather consent to its principle. The Bill had for its object to declare, first, that every man in the country might do whatever he thought fit with what he found on his own land ; secondly, that no person vas to be entitled to trespass, on any pretence of qualification, on the ground of any other person; and thirdly, that the sale of game was legal. These were the principles to which he called their Lordships' attention. He had considered the subject for several years, and he entertained a perfect conviction that the pre sent measure, without lessening any of the privileges of their Lord ships, would be beneficial to the public, and would bring back the law to the principles of common sense. His Lordship con cluded by moving, that the Bill for amending the Game Laws be read a second time. _ _ --- --- The Earl of FALMOUTH did not wish to 1111- deri , alue the exertions of the Noble Lord, but it did appear to him that he was too sanguine in his expeetations of the good which the Bill was to perform. he Noble Lord meant to do away, by ones sweeping enactment, with a branch of the law s which e for a cen tury and a half at least, bad been sanctioned by successiys Legis lafuree. His Noble Friend—if he would allow him to call him: so—had three objects in view. The first was, to amend the pre. sent a bsurdities in wae system of qualifications ; the second was ace give small landed proprietors the right to shoot over their owe- land ; and the third, which he believed was the principal one, and` he thought, the most laudable, was to diminish or prevent poach ing, by doing away the temptation and destroying the poachers' market. As to the qualifications, he had no objection to have them corrected. There were. some hardships in them which he thought ought to be corrected, though be did not think that his Noble Friend had been very fortunate in the examples be had stated. He could not think it was a hardship for fundholders not to be allowed to sport over land, as he did not know that any' landed proprietor had any claim of using or sporting with any part of tile funded property. He had not much objection either to the second object, though he thought many of the arguments used in , support of it were of little value. Something had been said about Scotland, but there were many circumstances in the situation and° laws of that country which did not apply to this. The peasantry were fed on oatmeal, and were said to look Well, to labour well, and make good soldiers ; but if the English peasantry were fedl on oatnial, he did not think they would labour well or look well, and though naturally brave, he was afraid they would not make very good soldiers. Then came what he regarded as the principal object of the measure, namely, preventing poaching ; and it struck him that the expectation of the Noble Lord,. that p oac hing would be prevented by' making game property, was quite unfounded. If poultry were turned out in the woods, it would be stollen g. as well as game, Sin' were stolen; of property were stolen ; and game won-Id, he thought, be stolen after it was made property, as much as it. is now taken away. Making it property would not prevent ponehirev, The licensed dealer would breed pheasants and partridges for the market, but he could not breed them at so little expence as p o s e sltry; He be must have a profit on his undertaking, and this profit would a temptation to poaching which the present Bill would not re- Leone. Their Lordships could not he sure how the law woule: work, and nothing was more injurious than to, make laws one , day and repeal them the next; and as he did not think this law . would answer the Noble Lord's expectations, he should be t ireless the necessity of opposing time second reading. The Earl of ROSEBERRY bad great satisfaction' in stating his entire concurrence in the measures which were, by the present Bill, to be made the law of the kingdom. - After tak ing a view of the state of the country under the present system of Game Laws, the Noble Lord took occasion to advert to the situa tion of those who were called absentees from their property.-- Mach as he was disposed to condemn those Noblemen and Gene tlemen who did not reside upon their properties, he certainly thought that nreler the present state of things their -sheenc.e could not, in many -cases, be considered an evil,- when he reflected) upon the strife and ill-will, and malice which was engen dered between them and their poorer neighbours and tenantry. when they happened to take up their residence at their country seats. To put an end to that state of constant dissension was with him a powerful reason for giving his support to the Bill.— Indeed, he considered their Loliships, if they, rejected the pro positions contained in it, to be driven to the adoption- of one of two courses, either of which he considered as grossly ab surd. Thet you must, by prohibiting the sale of game, say to the Fund Wince, "you are not to cat game although you may have a property whielennay entitle you to indulge in such a luxury ;" or that you Must, if you allow the Fundholder to eat game, look with indifference Upon" daily and hourly breaches of the law, attended ` with the commission of crime and the infliction of misery, to an extent unknown in any other eieilieed country. : After adverting to the fact of the county -of Nerfolk, - theMnst important as a game comity its England, having petitioned the Honie to put au end to the present system of Laws respecting the preserratiOn of Game, the Noble Lord concluded by calling upon. the House to adopt the provisions of the Bill now before, them, which he considered the best calculated to put an end to a se stein equally odious, impolitic, and - unjust. _ , . - After a few wornS in explanation t.-nm Lord Falmouth, . • The Lail of HARDWICKE addressed their Lord ships in support of the Bill, .and declared himself perfectly satis fied upon the propriety of the principles upon which* proceeded. There were, he thought, some inconvenience, attendant upon the exec - Udell of its provisions, but they could be remeified..with ease wiser the Bill canoe to be examined. in the. committee. — 'His Lordship concluded by declaring bia intention. to . vote for the second - reading The Marquis of SALISBURY, althougb. h__ was not averse to a permission to sell game under certainrestrictions, e b e e n p d u s n v i h sh ic e l d i. , th u e r : s o B bl h e e ll w fo a y s er r4 yet felt himself bound to oppose the general-principle of the. Big then before their Lordships. _He considered several,of the -clauses for instance, he could not see how any poacher could,- -under:the wholly provisions o e f 4u;i the te . - B to i th l, Pr ug o 7t 4 i l n t t — he fact ; and he did not at all comprehend how they were-either to detect or punish a trespasser. It seemed. to him, indeed,sthat the Noble Baron (Lord Wharncliffe) proposed to repeal all the statutes which afforded protection to a Landed Proprietor• his game property, without substituting any thing in return,. which might enable him to punish those acts that might e; _Mill deno minated. offences. If the Bill was divided into two-party, so as to separate the provisions for legalizing the sale of game from the other regulations and enactments W,iich it contained, he would, under proper regulations, - give the propoi. tion to allow the sale of pine his support; but h e cou ld not assen t to the principle upon hich the other alterations were maintained. Lord - REDESDALE thought that a - - . pei;ll . on to sell game might have a tenden c y t o prevent poaching, and he :was disposed to give that part of the measure his support ; but he ois. , jected to that part of the Bill which gave a right of property wherein right of propertk could possibly-exist. Under the pro visions of tie present Bill, - which gave to every holder of a small piece of ground a right of property in the game which might hap pen to be found upon it, no gentleman could go out to take the pleasure of a day's shooting without committing twenty trespasses, and inn adine• 'the rights of numbers of game-proprietors, and lay ing the foun ' dation of numberless actions at law. , He thought, indeed, that the Noble Mover of the Bill was by no means well aware of the consequences likely to result from those provisions to which he required their Lordships' assent. The Noble Lord then alluded to the contests which had taken place in various parts of the country, and declared his conviction that they resulted more from the endeavours of the gamekeepers to protect the game from the spoliation of others, than from any wish to preserve the pro perty of their employers. In his opinion the gamekeepers them selves were the principal poachers ; and it was important to adopt some measure which would have the effect of checking their de predations.. He would, therefore, give his assent to the second reading of the Bill, in order that he might have an opportunity, in the Committee, of supporting that part . of it which went to le galise the sale of game, and to put an end to the present system of qualifications. He, upon the whole, was favourably disposed tq z wards the plan of doing away with the qualification provisions, and modifying the severity of the Gaine Laws ; but had strong objections to the. Bill in other respects. . The Marquis of BUTE stated, that there were par ticulars in the proposed Bill, - of which' he did not approve ; but still he thought the principle was a great improvement on the present-Game Laws, and therefore he would vote for the second reading, and the bill might be modified in the Committee, so as to confine it to the two points in which there appeared to be a gene ral agreement. He. had no objection to such privileges as the higher classes enjoyed, provided they Could be enjoyed without in jury to the rest of their f e llow -subjects. Properly speaking, privileges with respect to game, or any other matters, ought to be held by the higher classes, only for the good of his Majesty's pooreesubjects. The poatt. The chief object to be attended to, great point' in dispute appeared to be, as to the permission of the sale of genie ; but he did not observe that the Noble Author of the Bill had prescribed any penalty for stealing of game, which with respect to the Revenue Lawn--which was to and exclude, that which was most odious in was was atovealpTplmyaitenritahlis case the principles which the Legislature. r l t a3 o v f s, these laws to the general feelings on the sb ml oiguhgthtbneodt,(?naet j tcl e lho. c een t rs , ecor a laii n mild d apitni m eyai o ltn s lig i l irksome even to the higher classes!..

Upon the whole, considering the degree o f fi l3 d i e l n i, t, ami that it would not might not be-considered by many as very with respect to the e to xis y t o in te g ag G a a in m it e in future, he would vote for the second reading. The Earl of WESTMORELAND. thought hitnself c it e s led fur u th p e o r n ptoroogrpts.e the ol ptrhiinschipelefeoltf confident, ; Pi :n g cl r , ess therefore, o fthe diminish the practice of poachog, pwrehnantetvßeril and.even the Noble-Author of the Bill himself did not appear to imagine that it would cheek that practice to any considerable degree for a,ko ig time to:-come. The Bill, besides, appeared to be destructive of the sports and amusements of tile smaller. owners of lands, and only -calculated to protect the interests of a few- ;reat proprietors ; and instead of diminishing, he was conv inced it would aggravat e a - g r ea t many of the evils now complained of.
