(Banker) addressed the Meeting at considerable length, pointing out, with great ability, the many and great advantages which would necessarily accrue to local Interests by effecting a secure communication befwein the two towns of Shields. So far from the projected measure being in the least degree visionary (as some uninfortned people affeci ed to say), he was well authorized in saying, it would . prove a most eligible undertaking for the Investment of Property. In their estimates every thing like exaggeration had been carefully avoided, and at a moderate calctilation'the revenue from the Bridge would not be less than 6,0001: per annuni. -He would' not say that - the profits would be immense, bUt there was every' probability of good interest for the money, besides-the prospect o f great future advantages.. FORTY Tilo Pounds were already subscribed, and if the Stmderland - Gentlemen would step'forward arta aid then), there could be no ZOUbt of their getting on triumphantly. in the opinion of the Commit tee 93,0001.• (Captain ItnoWSCS estimate) would besufficient ; but to meet contingencies they deemed it prudent .to flit the Sum at 100,0001. The Chairman observed, that he *as afraid he could not add any thing to the very satisfactory shiettent which had been made by Alt. CHAPMAN. The - Board lt Snn; derland. would •be glad to give any informati o n or ass istancein their power. It woul d be gratifying to the Meeting if 111 r.

Lord FOLKSTONE opposed the motion, because he' ob jected to die improved scale upon which the new assessment of the Poor-rate's ivas proposed to be made under this Bill.

FYSHE P/11431E:1t - observed, that under this Bill the rate would be 4s. 6d. in the pound on the rental ; and this Was to apply even to the rentals of (1. per annum. But Was there 'ever such a 'proposition heard of before? Let the ]louse sup pose a' case of a cottager, who resided in a place for which he had to pay 51. a-year rent ; such a rate ,would absolutely form a very considerable proportion of his whole rent,—(Hear,' hear !) .--If the Hon.

Sir lll.W. RIDLEY presented a petition from two melt. respectable persons, Messrs.

That allegation was unfounded . ; and it Was a. remarkable fact, that six of the men who signed. that Pe tition had their sons employed in the yard of Messrs.

They wished this mis-statement should be corrected, and that the petition . should be referred to the Committee above stairs The petitions were severally referred to the Committecon the Combination Laws.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS. 111 r. DENMAN rose to 'present a petition, which, though ,signed by only, three individuals. inhabitants:of. Derby, was every way worthy the attention of the Douse, since those indi viduals were of the highest respectability, -and professed the most liberal Principles. He. believed the •ll.on. .Metuber for Deibyshire wonldfed no hesitation in tearing testimony to the respectability. of the parties-who .felt it their duty to apppoach . the House on this.occasion.... They were respectively. .the sters of congregations of the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Inde- . pendent denomination, and their reason for petitioning the House was,. because theyhad "heard that a petition had been presented to Parliament on behalf of certain persons calling themselves Protestant Diasenteri, 'of Derby, against the'Bill• for the : -relief 'of -Roman Catholics—a proeeeding which they held to be not only• illiberal in -itself, but perfectly inconsistent • - .with the doctrine on which the Protestant Dissenters acted. The petitioners, were of opinion, that liberty of conscience was a principle, sacred, universal, and inalienable; and they held that'any restraints placed upon it, either by pains or penalties, or by exclosion.from civil situations, were acts of oppression and wrong. In conclusion, they called on 'the House to grant to the Roman Catholics the relief which they prayed for. Lord Cr. CASTEN DISII (we believe) bore testimony - to the great respectability of the petitioners. Sir J. NEWPORT said, a circumstance bad taken place lately in Ireland, which must tend to do away the prejudice that, existed against the Roman Catholic parochial Clergy: The inhabitants-of the town of Newcastle; Protestant and Catholic, met, under Mr. Goulburn's act, for the purpose of coming to a composition for the tithes. The parish priest was called AO the chair, and he behaved so well in that situation, that, after a composition had been . agree d to, the, rector, whoi was present, moved " That the thanks of this meeting are justly•due to the Rev. P..l.arkin, for, his exertions to carry, into effect the proYis siont-of the act of Parliament allowing a composition for tithes; —(lleat, hear !)—Thill was highly honourable to all parties. The circumstance occurred in a p ar i s h w hi c h h e had known fur . upwards of forty years, and it was a 'remarkable fact, that bere'... tofbre, whenever disturbances took place in the county of .Wa terford, 'especially relative to tithes, this place - was sore .to.he disturbed, The clergyriiiiiiliad, it appeared: tranquillizial.the lthe most perfect peace and cordiality existed b e .. irotestant inhabitants, who were but few, and their ~ I . l) w: e t i :i il lL ' ill'C e na thol i t c h h e ejilgohubsOeuors4ltSnu9cth t 0 0 00 lci d e conduct as iaswallye withhad tileddescrib edea proved that t:ti l ie er P gy rote n s t i t i a ea n v t ° cl ir e ei rg l y i f ti r y om he co e lfect re i i n . l ,thattoiftbthe "tithes..-Laid pi ß o,a o wi m der a o, n iti . o C tii) a ie t r h etv 6 : l i) i ii e l Petitions against the Catholic Claim's were presented , from • Garston, •Stafibrdshire ; by Mr. Cartwright, from Ritshfon, county of Northampton; and by Mr. Alderman Thompson, from the parish of St. 'James, Cardiff.-The petitions were se verallYlaid on the table. . Mr. BROUGHAM wished to take that opportunity of stat ing, with respect to a 'very important. subject (the Catholic .Re lief Bill) which !toed for discussion to-morrow - night, (aad be did so because, from its having been put oft'. last Monday, great doubts were exprested by some gentlemen. in a w a y exceeding- ly unsatisfactory, unnecessary. and uncalled for, • whether it would be brought tbrward at the time now proposed), that it was certain to come on to-niorrOw.- (Hear, hear !)—Of that he could assure the House.
