THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY • !racts from- the Morntri,g P(pers, May 7, 1525. , titott,attNn - POST.] 'jn 'ilftinte of Sir Francis Burdett,. Mr. .-'ez.sjitititilsainnioved last night the Order of the Day, !•.fur going.:into a Committee on the Roman Ca.: tholic Bill. The motion was not opposed, as, there had been a general understanding that the last -stand: would be made on the third reading ;- but the itself was strongly combated. Ge steral Gascoyne led the attack, and Sir Thomas Lethbridge carried it on manfully, and in a man -ner which cannot fail to counteract the effect of 1 the,delusions which seem to have spread over the intellects of a portion of the House. He showed . that the proposed Bill went by a direct legisla tive enactment to recognize a foreign supremacy in the kingdom, which every Protestant Member :was•called upon by the Oath of Supremacy to ,• Ore - ar did not exist. It was a measure therefore • which required them to break their most solemn engagemects to each other and to the country. Be appealed to the proceedings of the Catholic Orders in Ireland, in France, and Spain at this very moment to show that the Catholics were not different from what they had been formerly.; • and as a proof of their incroachments even England, and of the danger which resulted from them to the Protestant Religion, he quoted the following remarkable fact, which is indeed preg nartt with instruction. It was the case ,of a 'farmer who lived, he should not say where. The neighbouring Clergyman, who had been in the - • •habit of reading prayers to him and his family • for many years, was suddenly refused permission to continue that practice. U pon requiring to - know the reason of this change, he was told that the farmer had lately taken the lease of some Lnd.from a " Catholic Establishment," and there .was a clause in his lease that no Protestant prayers should he put up under his roof, nor a Protestant bible allowed to be there.—(Hear, hear circumstance he related to show that the feeling of Catholics towards Protestants was just the same as it was fifty or one hundred years back. The Hon. Baronet concluded one of the most ar gumentative speeches yet spoken against the mea sure; by this solemn and well founded declaration: —" I am not' prepared, with my feelings upon this subject, to violate the oath of supremacy which I have taken before this House and the country, and I defy you to enact one clause of this Bill without such a violation being the con sequence." Mr. Secretary Peel, whose opposi tion to the Bill has been throughout of the most :manly and liberal description, repeated his decla ration that he would not take the sense of the louse before the third reading of the Bill, as there was a general impression that no division would be called for upon the present stage, and expressed a hope that others would alio abstain from dividing the House," as it would not be acting fairly to do so - without having previously given notice." .Mr. Butler Clark defended the Bill as necessary to the tranquillity of Ireland, and the security of property. Col. Trench justly contended that as the past evils of Ireland flowed from misgovernment, and as a new mode of Go vernment had lately been adopted of a more be neficial nature, if the House would allow things to go on in that country as they now were for two years longer, without adopting the proposed mea sure, he would answer for it that noagita tor would he able to disturb its repose. The house having resolved itself into a Committee the Speaker ex pressed hisdecided hostility to the Bill. An amend mentmoved by r.Gi pps,lnd consisting of the word 44 Protestant,'- was then effected in the clause which " disclairits, disavows,. and sol.onnly Rh jures any intention to subvert the present Church Establishment ;" which clause now stands thus— " the present Protestant Church Establishment of the United-Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." .Mr. Ro b ertson then moved an amend ment, leaving to Irish Catholics the right of sit ting in Parliament, but taking it away from those of England and of Scotland. This amendment, however, was negatived without a division. Mr. Brougham then moved another amendment, which was carried, establishing two Commissions, the one to examine the communications received. from the See of Rome, and the other to certify their belief of the loyalty and peacenible demeanour of persons nominated tneertaitt olfices in the Church before they were admitted to perform their func tions. The whole of the Clatises having , been ultimately agreed to, Mr. Brougham reported the Bill proforma, with an understanding that any M)ember -might move to re-commit it on Mondry, and that the third reading should take place on Tuesday, on which day a grand combined and last effort will be made to throw out this ob noxious measure.

Mr. Secretary Peel af terwards reiterated his determination• to take the sense of the House again on the third reading of the Bill, after it has received all the amend ments of the Committer. Isis objeCtions, he stated, were not only abated, but confirmed and strengthened by the...intended provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy. The House having re solved itself into a Committee, the Speaker availed himself of the opportunity then afforded him by the forms of the House, to,express his, conscien-. tions opposition to the Bill. lie knew not.what amendments might be proposed in the Commit tee ; nor, in his view of the subject, would any amendment have rendered it acceptable to him. It was, iu his opinion, a question which admitted of no compromise. He objected to it on prin ciple. In the subsequent consideration of the clauses seriatim, nothing occurred of such pecu liar interest as to induce us to comment upon it at this late hour. On the clause respecting the Ecclesiastical Commission for regulating the in tercourse with the See of Rome, Mr. Secretary Peel observed, and we think justly, that a Com mission was in fact more necessary in England than in Ireland. It is remarkable that all the practical securities apply to Ireland exclusively, while the Relief Bill extends its benefits equally to the Catholics- in every part of the United Kingdom. No addition or amendment was made to the Bill in the Committee. A few alterations were moved . , but they were all negatived without a division. The Report was brought up at Once, on the understanding that -the Bill should, if re quired, be recommitted on Monday, and that the third reading should take place on Tuesday. The Committee on the Elective Franchise Bill is postponed till Monday. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The Catholic Relief Bill has at last gone through a Committee. Mr. Peel declined taking the sense of the House on the motion for going into a Committee, and announced that on the third reading he should take an opportunity to offer any observations that suggested themselves to him as necessary.—General Gascoyne, an op ponent of Concession, made several allusions to the Dissolution of Parliament. He said, " he was not at all afraid of a Dissolution ; he had no apprehensions upon the subject ; but itivas attended with a great deal of trouble, and that trouble he, and all men, were desirous, of course, of avoiding. Ile alluded to this state of thins only for the sake of arguing that the present was not the fit period for passing a Bill like that, the commitment of which stood for to-night. In his opinion, if it were likely that the matter would be settled in the House of Lords immediately, it would he the duty of the Ministers to direct the dissolution of Paliament without delay." It is very generally rumoured that the dissolution will, in reality, take place before the measure can be settled in the House of Lords.---A good deal of discussion took place in the Committee on the several clauses. The discussion of the measure is to take place on Tuesday next. [MORNING HERA LD.) We are glad to see so many Petitions against the Catholic Claims now pouring into both Houses—not hut that we would open the-door to the Catholics, so far as civil offices were con cerned ; but we do not like the idea of taking into our pay another Clerical Establishment,espe cially when the hulk of the people are already sufficiently discontented at being compelled to pay tithes to their own clergy. Under such cir cumstances we think the Irish part of the Minis try must be a little beside themselves to pro pose such a wing as the clerical wing, to accom-. pauy the Bill for the removal of the Catholic dis abilities. What are the Methodists, the Baptists, the Presbyterians, the Quakers, the Shakers, the Dippers, the Anti-Dipper;„ and all the other Sects of Christians about, that they do not send Bills to Lord Cower, for the purpose of being relieved from the payment of their respective clergy, and for putting the latter upon the State books ? Surely, if the Priests of Anti-Christ are to be paid, why should not the Priests be paid who oppose Anti-Christ ? If the Anti-Christ wing should -pass into a law, what will become of Mr. Hume's hobby with respect to looking into the revenues of the Protestant Church ? Have Messrs. Canning, Plunkett, and Croker contriv ed this wing in order to knock Mr. Hume's hobby from under him ? Have they also contriv ed it in order to relieve the Rev. Mr. Wilson from the opposition of widows to the payment of City tithes ? Have they also brought in this wing to pay the Priests of Anti-Christ, in order to stop the mouths of Messrs. Hurcombe, Galloway, and the other part and parcel of Civic Patriotism? For if provision is to be made for the priests of Anti-Christ, how can that portion of Civic wis dom ever after find fault witty Protestant Pastors for receiving 2s. 9d. in the pound, under the Act of that summary reformer of the Church, Ife-nry VIII:? We little thought that a ,wing for the payment of the Priests of the unreformed Church would have accom -1 partied the proposition for removing the civil disabilities of the Catholics, or w e never Would have written a single word in favour of the '.latter proirosition. Bot we cannot help thinking that it is a Ministerial - manoeuvre alto 7 gether 7 -a second edition Of the Aoti-slavery nneStion. We hope the "Lord Chancellor and Mr. • Peel will continue to set their faces against this Catholic EMancipation m easure, so long as the wing to pay the priests. of sticki to it. They "may *rely upon it, that the, secret voice Of•the people is with them. Meso;s. CrOker, Plunkett, and Canning may 'have humbugged Sir and the patriotic poriiOn of - the Civic body, but they have not la - rod-Winked John Bull at large. iStor yet have . tbe Irish De oration . befooled the great bulk of -ifie.:opie of GC...at griCaii,. :jA . pretty, indeed, that b e fore we : reCeilie, Irish Gatlinliglhiaiik s lea ) ) he Parliament, or give then) - s i lk p iiiiA , ..- (r _ ar id al 'the ye . ry time Iheragree 'meta is 'going for.ii/ard for Such purposes, they should stipulate for us to take into our pay their priesthood!—this is commencing Emancipation , with a vengeance. But if before the Irish Bar , gets into Parliament, or gets silk gowns, it shows us what it would be at, what will it not do when it has got into Parliament, and has its silk gowns on ?—" Give an inch and take an ell," is the old adage : now, if , i n the first instance, we give 250,0001. a year to the Priests of Anti-Christ,. before their disciples get silk gowns, or sit in Parliament, and if their disciples stipulate that we shall give this quarter of a million, what would be the next thing that they would want, when the Catholic big-wigs are in Parliament, and have power ? [THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] It is always with pleasure that we turn away from the cant, hypocrisy; and sordid selfishness of the political School of the Old World, to con template the fresh, vigorous, and unalloyed im pulses to action that now prevail upon the theatre of the New. The actors resemble youth in their generous unsuspecting confidence, as well as in their disinterested views. They have also the enthusiasm of that happy age ; and to make men happy and moral is their never-ceasing aim, and a stimulus to re newed exertions. Alas ! this period .of bright visions and noble aspirings will pass away ; and the New World will become the counter part of the Old. Cunning will then. pass for wisdom, selfishness for patriotism, and praise be subtract ed from the good, to be lavished upon the worth less. Then the Statesman, or Minister, who never loved any thing but himself, will be cried up as one of the most immaculate and the wisest of 'politicians ; and in proportion as he undermin ed the happiness and liberties of his country, would he be lauded for his enlightened zeal in favour of both. As yet Colombia is a stranger to these base arts ; and it is with inex pressible satisfaction, therefore, that we look at the picture of her affairs. What can be more admirable than the portrait of Bolivar ! Such dis interestedness,-such generous ardour, and yet so much prudence and firmness ; that the more we gaze at it, the more our admiration increases. In the 01(1 World he would be treated as a danger ous visionary ; whilst ❑►en that cannot boast of a single good quality, and never felt a generous im pulse in their lives, would accumulate in their own persons the chief honours and emoluments of the State, whilst he languished, perhaps, in inaction, and pined in neglect. But, enough of this • the new States present, in a commercial point of view, an inexhaustible source of interest; and, as they consolidate their independence, will the benefits of their intercourse acquire expansion and consistency. At present England is the fa voured nation, and as long as she retains her reputation for liberal policy, her friendship will be cherished in preference to that of every other Power in the vast regions of America. [TUE TI M ES.] We have just concluded the painful task of reading through a correspondence on the Slave Trade, recently published by order of the House of Commons. The result of that perusal upon our judgment—(for of its effect upon our feelings we will not speak)—is, that after all the labours of this country, and of its most virtuous and dis tinguished citizens, for abolishing the above un natural and unholy traffic, we have gone thus far—we have washed the blood from our own consciences, we have withdrawn from the dread ful partnership, and have set an upright and hu mane example to mankind ; but.we have not dimi nished by one jot the mass of human guilt or of human suffering. The slave trade flourishes with as much horrible activity as at any former period. England is clear of the pollution, it is certain ; but somebody must have nerves to declare the melancholy and mortifying truth-- from which all Englishmen of all parties are too ready, if not to withhold their belief, at least to turn aside their attention that the amount of 'A f rican misery has not been reduced a single par ticle : it has, on the contrary, if any thing, been aggravated by the abolition of the 13ritish slave trade. If the flag of England be no longer em ployed to cover this abomination, there is scarcely another flag in Europe, or, with the exception of the United States, out of Europe, by which it is not masked from the researches of our, men-of-war, or shielded from their forcible inter ference. France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, and Brazil, all have been, and are apparently to this hour, disgraced by the subserviency of their national colours to the avarice of dealers in Negro blood, and by the atrocious diligenCe of their subject's in the work of desolation through out Africa. The evidence before us is not to be questioned that wars are perpetually instigated for the supply of slaves, who are furnished in such abundance, that the price to the slave merchant varies only from half a dollar to between' two and three dollars a piece. What, then, be comes of the beings thus wrested almost out of the keeping of.their Maker ? They are crammed — we might say potted—into the hold of a vessel, where space is assigned to them, and for a voy age, be it remembered, across the Atlantic, in the following proportions :—The ship Minerva, of 270 tons, had a passport from the Emperor of Brazil for 675 slaves, a little more than one third of a ton for each ! The brig Cerqueira, of 204 tons, was licensed for 761 slaves ! The schooner A rola, 108 tuns, TIO slaves! Such is the art of potting Negroes for use. [Nrw Timcs."l We have received letters and Papers from Ilayti to the 26th of February. The leading persons in that Island seem to feel great mortifi cation that their Independence, which has now existed de facto two and twenty years, should not be recognised by England, while that of several South American States, which have been scarcely a twelvemonth free, is acknow ledged by the sending of English Consuls and a gents to them. They attribute the different conduct pursued in the two cases solely to the differenc e of colour; the're are, however, Some political causes which doubtless have weight. As WP used every effort to induce the King 'of Spain to take the lead in recognising the inde pendence of his former possessions, so it would doubtless be desirable that the King of France should be. the first to acknowledge Hayti as an independent power. We have _before us the official documents published by the President Boyer, illustrative of the late negociation. The outline of them is within the recollection of our readers; but we. will just notice a few particu lars. On the 28th April 1824, the President delivered instructions to Messrs. Larose and Rouanez . to proceed to France for the pur pose of negotiating a treaty for the recog-. nition of Haytian Independence. They sail ed on the Ist of May following, and ar rived at Havre on the 14th of June, and proceeded to St. Germain, from whence they were summoned to Paris. At this time (7th July) M. Esmaugart who was.charged to conduct the negociation with them on the part of France, gave them hopes that the independence of Hayti would be formally recognised by a Royal Ordon nance. He made some difficulty about the amount of the pecuniary indemnity which the Haytian Go vernment was to pay to the ancient Colonists, but this was not considered as a serious obstacle. A greater difficulty arose on the subject of the Eastern (formerly Spanish) part of St. Domingo ; and the French Government urged (with some reason) that it could not stipulate for the King of Spain. On the 31st of July the Deputies had a conference with the Minister of -Marine, M. de Clermont-Tonnerre, who for the first time told them that the Ordonnan.ce re cognisiutr, the Independence, reserved to the King of France the exterior Sovereignty. It may easily be believed that the Haytian Deputies protested against this principle. On the 3d of August the French Government put an end to the negotiations on a pretext that the powers of the Deputies were insufficient to treat, and they ac cordingly returned to Hayti. It appears that the inhabitants of that Island entertain serious apprehensions of another French invasion. We believe their fears are quite chimerical: never theless, it is right they should let the world know, that they are prepared to encounter such a dan ger, if it should ever arrive. The knowledge of this fact may go a great way towards preventing so mad an attempt. THE ROYAL NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Enuron—By the Returns lately laid be. 'ore Parliament, I observe, it appears that the 'ollowing ships have been launched since Jan. 1, ISIS :--- 5 First Rates. A 2d Do. 16 3d Do. 6 4th Do. 22 sth Do. 77 6th Do. 131—which have undergone the new process of injection with Goal Tar, &c. except one ; but as the use of Coal Tar proved in . turious to seamens' healths, and was discontinued three years ago, Linseed Oil and Vegetable Tar, with other nostrums, have been injected since 1822, in hopes to stop the Dry Rot. These Returns really exceed my comprehension, and are, in my opinion, very fallacious. At all events, I hope you, or your NAUTICAL Correspondents, will condescend to explain them, so that all may clearly understand the ACTUAL state of the Royal Navy, in which all classes are deeply concerned. — According to BTEELE'S List, in 1814, there were 29 sail of the line then building, whereas 28 only have been launched during the last nine years ; if the last returns be correct, conse ouentiv three have vanished, and no o th er aew one s h a v e been built - since that war, nor the old ones completed and launched. Now, Sir, on close investigation, I challenge any Gentleman o disprove the following statement, viz : During 1814 and 1820, 49 Sail of the Line were built, and 144 broken up, sold, or condemned. . . Between 1814 and 1320, 399 Frigates, Sloops, Brigs, &c. were built, and 786 broken up, sold, or condemned. The Navy List now contains 603 vessels of all classes (built and building), and appears to corroborate this statement; but if it be wrong, lam open to conviction. Flow else can the ex penditure of 23,000,0001. be accounted for since the war ? Altogether nearly one thousand vessels of war have been sold and broken up since the war, and if only 131 have been built, the Navy could not consist at this moment of more than 201 sail, if that number have been broken up and sold, as it never consisted of more than 1,040. The Dry Rot seldom is visible in its effect for six, seven, or eight years, though it often attacks ships much sooner. The Returns do not specify the extra expence attending the injection of linseed oil, &c. nor how many ships note require repair, like the Nelson, Water loo (now marvellously called Bellerophon), Rodney, Genoa, and Hibernia ; but I reserve all farther remarks, in expectation that I may be contradicted or confirmed in my search after the truth, before I enter into any comparison of the old and new NaYal System. Being Sir, Yours, &c. JUNIUS. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY G. This Court was very much crowded, in consequence of his Royal Highness the Duke of York being subpennaed to give evidence, in the case of William Pope, an insolvent, who come up on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was described in his schedule, as formerly of York-street,Westm inster, agent; after then of iin held, Sussex; afterwards of Streatham, in Surrey ; then of Stockwell ; after wards of Glanville-house, Middlesex; and late of Garden-row, London-road, Surrey, tavern keeper, and keeper of a lunatic essylum. Wm. Pope, examined by Mr. COOKS.—In January, 1824, I was in this Court before ; 1 then had in the possession of a friend a trunk of papers, which had been given me by a Mr. Ogilvie, as a special security for a debt of 2 , 63 01. odd. in Jan. last, when I was here, the Court ordered those papers to be given to the Officer of the Court, for his inspection. -I was then residing within the rules of the King's Bench'. In a few days after, I obtained the papers from my friend, and did not give them up to the officer, not . liking to expose the parties they related to.— On the 16th of March, 1824, I gave them up to Mr. Knight, to stnY.DOonno:tgouikti: ileenbehgieoen surprised whom I was recommended by a Mr. Morrison, as a Solicitor to the words or p d a s p t e o rs th b a a t e e k fre t c . r t o . m I Asa! said IKtni under stood manage this business.

I afterwards waited on Mr. Morrison and Mr. Ogilvie, and upon some representation I returned the papers again to Mr. Knight to give to the Duke of York, but Whether they were given to his Royal H ighness or not I cannot say. An offer of money had been recently made to him to give up the : papers. Mr. COOKE said, that he .would now submit the propriety of the papers being inspected by the officer of the Court. Cross-examined by Mr. POLLOCK—There were were no se curities for money amongst the papers. They were private letters. Insolvent—Am I to name the parties ? 31r.

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAIL-ROAD. Every thing connected with this great public undertaking is progressing most favourably. The Subscriptions, including that portion (50,000/.) set apart for the landed interest, now consider.. ably exceeds 220,000/.; so that, in point of fact, little more than 700 shares remain to he disposed of, which, it is reasonable to conclude, will be taken ere many days elapse. Hence, in a veil short time, it is obvious that an interest in the Con cern will not be attainable but at a premium. At their meeting on Saturday last, the Board of Di rectors received a communication from the Mayor of Newcastle, (lIENItY CRAMLINGTON, ES(1• 7 ) highly creditable to that Gentleman, and to . the body of which lie is the head. The Mayor, address ing the Directors, stated, " that in consequence of the absence of several of its members, he could not immediately convene the Common Council, notwithstanding his anxious wish to do so, but that he should do injustice to the body over which he had the honour to preside, if he did not express his conviction that they would be found desirous of promoting an undertaking which pro mises much advantage to the commerce of the town, as well as other important public benefits, and that it would be to them a matter of regret if they had not an opportunity of contributing to its success." Ll.st they should be deprived of that opportunity by the disposal of all the Shares, he concludes by requesting, 64 that the power of subscribing to t! e extent of fifty Shares may be reserved to the Corporation of Newcastle." A pubic meeting is about to be convened at Carlisle- with a view to forward the measure,—so that all' parties uniting with cordiality, this very impor tant undertaking is sure of being accomplished. And we venture to offer it as our fixed opinion, that its accomplishment will tend as much to the profit of the adventurer, as to the advantage of the public.—(Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; • May 3 ) Howard, the man who stands charged with having, in conjunction with- another, passed a 5001. note, the property ofliessrs.Snow and Paul,' . . bankers, in the Strand, appeared yesterday at the Mansion-house, to put in bail for his appearance at the next Lincoln Assizes, and the Solicitor for the prosecution being satisfied with the parties offering themselves, he was admitted to bail, him' self in 2001. and tvio sureties in 1001. each.
