WHALLEY brought up the report of the committee on the Southwark market petition, and obtained leave to bring in a bill. TITHES. Lord EBRINUTON rose to present the petition of which he had given notice, from the county of Devon, relative to the present tithe system. It was most numerously and respectably signed by the owners and occupiers of land, and tithe-payers of the county. The petitioners complained that the demand of one-tenth of the produce of the land, by those who contributed nothing to it, was at variance with all the principles of justice, and they earnestly prayed that the subject of tithes might be taken into the serious consideration of the house, with a view to their being permanently commuted. In presenting that petition, he had borne testimody to the number and respectability of the signatures attached to it, and he would further' state that it had been agreed to by an overwhelming majority of the people, and that the'sentiments contained in it were those of the nu merical majority of the owners and occupiers t f land in the county. He used the word numerically because a small por tion of the great landed proprietors attended the meeting, and he thought he might with truth say that a majority of those great landed proprietors who attended the meeting were decidedly oppased to the prayer of the petition. It was painful for him to differ from so large a portion of his constituency, and that pain was further sincreased because those from whom lie differed were a portion of the inhabitants of a county who had done him the honour to send him to this house. At the same time he had never disguised his opinions from them; he had from the very first been an advocate for a fair and equitable commutation of tithes ; he had advocated it because he was conscious that such a commutation would be equally beneficial to the tithe owners and to the occupiers of the land, and he was convinced that if commutation had taken place many years ago much of that difficulty and discontent that now existed on that subject would have been prevented.—(Hear.) On the noble lord bringing up the petition it was read at length at the request of several members. LordJOHN RUSSELL said, as a member for the Southern division of the county of Devon, and from having been re quested to support the prayer of the petition, he begged to say a few words upon it. He agreed with his noble friend who presented the petition as to the general feeling among the yeo. manry of that county, from whom the petition emanated, which was signed by upwards of 9,000 persons.—(Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure likewise in agreeing that tithe in itself was both unreasonable and unjust.—(Hear, hear.) There could in his opinion be nothing more unjust, or more impolitic, than to have a law which tended to discourage the cultivation of the soil, and which interfered with that which ought to be the po licy of all good government, viz., the cultivation and improve- I ment of the soil. Nothing could be more impolitic than to in terfere with the skilland capital of those desirous of improving the land, and taking from those persons a great portion —if not all—of that skill and capital—(Hear, hear.) He considered, therefore, tithes in themselves as properly the institution of a barbarous age—(Hear, hear)—and his only wonder was, that it was left to these days to consider a remedy for this great and oppressive evil.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that the most perfect integrity, and a sense of fair dealing to. wards the clergy, animated these petitioners ; and though he had the misfortune to disagree with them in the conclusion to which they had come, he believed in drawing that conclusion hey meant to do full Justice to the clergy and the tithe.owners If they had been led into what he considered a* error, they had been led into it by the assumption made of placing the proprietors of church property on too high a ground, and con sidering them as if they were the proprietors of heritable pro. perry.—(Hear, hear.) Now, in his opinion, church property was intended to be enjoyed and used for the public good and happiness.—(Cheers.) But having heard this assumption put forward, and having hoard it said that church proprietors were the same as other proprietors of thg soil, the Devonshire yeomanry were doing what was not unnatural for those to do, who con sidered church property like other proprietors. They thought that while claiming only a part the church took the whole profit, but if the profit were large they took a tenth of that large profit, and if the profit were small, they only took a tenth of that'small or inconsiderable profit. This reasoning was not unnatural, and upon this they proposed a plan of commutation. At this point he (Lord J. Russell) was compelled to differ from them, and he did so with great pain from those whom he knew to be honest and excellent men. He did not think, theretbre, that the clergy being legally entitled to a tenth of the produce, that this would be fairly commuted by giving them a tenth of the rent. It was said by an hon. member for Cornwall, the hon. member for Liskeard, who less then any other man followed the popular opinion, that the rent of the land in Devon shire was not a third of the value of the produce, there fore, what the petitioners asked was that the legal right of the clergy to the tenth should be commuted to a third. He must say, having considered the subject both last year and the present, and wishing as he did to see a fair commutation, that I* did not think that an exchange for a tenth of the rent would be a fair commutation. He would only say again that he partlcipated with his noble friend Lord Ebrington in his regret at differing from the petitioners. He, however, did not find in the other counties of England that the farmers saw the subject in the same light ; they did not come forward in those other counties, declaring that this would be a fair commutation, and as they had manifestly an interest in so doing, he must conclude that the general opinion of the people of England, was, that this would not be a fair commutation. Mr. BULTEEL felt himself called upon to declare his decided dissent from the proposition contained in the petition, because in doiag so he concurred with a vast majority of the inhabitants of the county from whence the petition emanated. I►i adopting this course he begged it to be understood that he was not arranging himself against the general tenets expressed in Ihe petition, but he firmly believed the great majority of the county were opposed to the propositions it contained, on account of the deep conviction they entertained that the grievances complained of could not be removed in any other way than some perfect and decided remedial measure. He congratulated the house upon the sentiments that had fallen from his noble friend (Lord John Russell), from which it was to be anticipated that some decided measure would be proposed by his Majesty's government upon the subject, which would settle the point for ever between the two parties, would remove all disputes be tween the farmer and the clergyman, all tithes on productive industry, and would enable the farmer to improve his farm without being burdened by the clergyman. Sir W. CH AYTOR, in supporting the prayer of the petition, expressed his surprise that the people paid tithes so readily as they did. Mr. F. O'CQNNOR observed that ministers had repeatedly stated what they would do, but he would ask, in the face of the assertion, what had they done? Why they had admitted the right of the clergy to tithes, at the same time admitting that they had no right to collect them under that denomination. Mr. BULTEEL and Lord EBRINGTON said a few words in explanation. Mr. PARROTT said he begged leave to put the house in possession of the principle upon which the petitioners asked for the commutation, which had not yet been touched upon. Before he did so he would speak to a few of the observations which had fallen from the Noble Viscount opposite. He said, that the petition was not supported by the great landed proprietors of the county. There was no doubt thatthepetition was not signed by the great body of the great landed proprietors, but on looking at the signatures, in the very first page, he found those of nine magistrates of the county ; so that though the great body did not support the petition, it was clear that a considerable portion of them were not averse to it, as, besides those names to which he had already alluded, there were many others that he recognised as being the most respect. able—( Hear, hear, from Lord Ebrington)-mnd who owned a considerable portion of the soil. Without in any manner in tending to speak harshly of the great proprietors of land, he thought he could easily point out one very good reason why their signatures were not attached to the petition. They were almost the only class who were the great proprietors of the pro_ pert of the church.—(Cheers) They were almost the exclu sive proprietors of tithes, and of course were quite contented with the system as it at present existed.—(Loud cheering.) He believed there was very little doubt but that a strong feeling existed against that system in Devonshire. He also believed that the same feeling prevailed in other counties—in fact, there was an almost universal feeling throughout the country against the payment of tithes in kind—(Cheers)--and every one now claimed exemption from doing so. But if the tithe owners were to be paid in money to the full value of the tenth of the produce of the soil how could there be any redress of grievances ?—(Cheering.) In place of a redress of the grievances, it would be an aggrava tion of them.—(Hear, hear.) If such was to be the measure passed by the house, the tithe owner would have the whole pro fit of the land.—(Loud cheers.) The prayer of the petition did not seem to be understood.—(Hear, hear.) What the petitioner stated was, that seeing the great dif ficulty of the tithe question, they came forward in a constitutional manner, topoint the way in which they thought it might be, and ought to be, settled. With regard to what they prayed for he believed there was some misconception. What they prayed for was this—that the land should be valued as flee from tithes, rates, and taxes, and that a tenth should then be taken and set apart for the support of the church.— (Cheers.) That tenth also to be liable to rates and taxes the same as the other nine-tenths.—(Immense cheering.) The petitioners prayed that there should be no commutation of tithes until a valuation was taken of the net rent of the land, otherwise the tithe-owners would be doubly taxed. Some misconception existed regarding that subject; it would be remove,l by impressing on the house, that it was the desire of the petitioners to have the land valued free of a.l taxes, and one_ tenth then reserved for the tithe owners, and the other nine. tenths given to the occupiers. This was a simple statement, and set the matter at rest immediately.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He (Mr. P.) could not help reverti►►g to the original state of tithes while on that subject. When a tenth part of the land was first appropriated to the church, it was in a state of nature—quite uncultivated. The tithes were not then so op. pressive. They were devoted to four different purposes; the maintenance of the clergy, the support of the bishops, to the necessaries of the church service, and the relief of the poor. Subsequently they were used for only three different' , purposes. When they passed into the hands of the protestants they were wholly given up to one purpose. Thus they became a burden on, and attracted the odium of, the people. It was im possible for him (Mr. P.) not to revert to that topic when they were speaking of tithes.—(Hear, hear.) Under all circumstances, he considered the demands of the pe tition to be most reasonable, they praying from his Majesty's ministers no commutation of tithes, but, in a manner least fa. vourable to themselves, and totally compatible with the subse quent arrangement, for a fair adjustment. They had been most submissive to the law ; they did nothing but struggle against a great grievance, and that in a constitutional manner. They expected from his Majesty's ministers that the Reform Bill would be productive of great benefit to the people. The first and paramount object they considered to be the getting rid of the tithes totally. What was the use of the Reform Bill, tailless it led to such alterations as would remove the great est of all grievances the people laboured under—he meant tithes. He would not occupy the time of the house any longer: he concurred fully in the prayer of the petition, and he would not have done his duty if he had not supported it with all his power. He would beg to direct the attention of government to one point ; the present was a golden opportunity to attach a large body to them. If it was thrown away it might not be easy again to have such another. There was not a single mea. sure which could attract and fix the affections of the people so soon and so firmly as that act of justice which relieved them from the pressing grievance of tithes. Colonel SEALE said that he had been requested to support the prayer of the petition, and he begged to express his entire concurrence in its prayer. He fully agreed with the noble lord who had presentea the petition in the sentiments he had ex pressed, and he gave him credit for the fairness with which he had stated the manner in which the petition had been got up. He could bear testimony to the respectability and wealth of the persons who had attended the meeting ; at the same time he must say that the noble lord could scarcely have assumed, al. though he had done so from a feeling of candour, that the great landed proprietors were adverse to its prayer.— ( Hear, hear.) If they were, why had they not come for ward and expressed their disapprobation 7—(Hear, hear.) They had had a fair opportunity of doing so. He dissented from the opinion expressed by the hon, member oppo site, that the great landed proprietors were opposed to the prayer of that petition, and he would pus it to the test in this way. He would ask his hon. friend whether he could get up a petition of an adverse nature ?—(Hear, hear.) If he could procure 20,000 or 30,000 signatures in that county to a peti tion of an adverse nature let him produce them. He had heard the expression " spoliation" app ied to the valuation called for by this petition, viz., that the tithe owners should be one-tenth proprietors of the soil, but he believed such a charge was unfounded. For the last twenty years the maximum of valuation was 2s, 6d. in the pound, and only 9 years since, an observation was made that the highest amount that could be claimed by the tithe owners was from Os. to 3s. 3d. in the pound, therefore the charge of spoliation was as much on one side As the other. Another charge was brought against the landlord, viz., that the occupiers of the soil were not sq much interested in that question as the l a ndl or d, who would derive all the benefit from the commutation of taco, and put the profits into their own pockets. It was very true that where one farm was tithe'free and another paid tithes, the one that was free paid a higher rent in proportion to the amount of the tithe, and if tithes were swept away from the land rent would be one-third higher in the market. He would not occupy the time of the house further, but he hoped that every attention would be paid to this important question. The • noble lord stated it was Lis intention to bring in a measure at an early pe riod, which would be consistent with the wishes of ‘he country ( house from former times of incum 4 secured in their then possessions. An act was __A the time of Queen Mary and confirmed by the s , which secured church property to those who then had been invested with it. Mr. SANDFORD hoped that, in any measure that might be ' brought forward, no distinction would be made between the tithes held by by impropriators and that which was in the hands of the church, but that it would embrace all. If it was the in. tention of the government to make any new arrangement for Alin+ the payment of the church, that suggested by the petition pre sented by the noble lord would be, perhaps, a fair mode; but the sum of 25., as stated in that petition, would be, in his opt. nion, not a fair valuation. Mr. BENETT agreed with the hon. member for Tipperary, that the lay tithes were different from those in the hands of the church, but he did not think that the state would act fairly in appropriating the property of the church to any other purposes.—(Hear, hear.) Something had been sad respecting dissenters, of which body he (Mr. B.) had a great knowledge; and he would say that he never met a dis sen er who entertained any idea of doing away with 'titles without giving a fair compensation to the clergy.—(Hear, hear,) That they were hostile to the payment of tithes there was no doubt, and he (Mr. B.) was hostile to them. He trusted that in whatever measure it would be introduced, the tithes would be fairly and honestly commuted ; but for the effecting this, the bargain must not be too high. Church pro perty was now a very hazardous species of property. The re.. sistance to the payment of tithes had lessened its value considerably, and if it were offered in the public mar.. ket now, it would not fetch more than two-thirds of what it would bring five years ago.—(Hear, hear.) That circumstance should be taken into consideration in any commutation that might be made, and for his part he thought it would be exceedingly desirable if a fair commutation were effected. Sir R. FEEL hoped, in considering the question, they would act with great caution and under the salutary coutroul of public opinion ; they should bear in mind that those who were about to dispose of the church property were either lay impropriators or possessed of large landed properties, with a direst personal interest in remitting these tithes--(Loud cries of " hear,") — and if anything could sink that house in the public estimation it would be by affording ground for the imputation, that in disposingof church property they had consulted their own per sonal interests. He hoped the house would listen with caution to any suggestions establishing a distinction between lay tithes and those tithes which were paid to the church. Every individual clergyman had a vested interest in the tithes which was indisputable, but he (Sir R. Peel) put in another claim in behalf of the great mass of the people of that country who had a direct interest in the tithes, by which they were entitled to spiritual assistance, If the house deprived that class of their rights, for the pur pose of putting the money into their own pockets, they would be guilty of an act of spoliation u hich would be fatal to their characters.--(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") They might say that a clergyman, possessing three or four thousand pininds a-year, was paid too well, and under cover of that being too much, proceed to make other arrangements relative to church property. But he (Sir R. Peel) would tell the house that the appropriation of that property to any other than ecclesiastical purposes, was a spoliation of the - corporation to which it belonged. they might make a present of it to whom they pleased, but not to themselves. He put forward a claim, net only for the vested interests of the clergy, but for the permanent posses_ sion of the great mass . of the people of that coun try, for whose benefit it was intended.—(Hear, hear.) He would not at present enter into the question, whether there shbuld be any other appropriation ; but under the pretence of giving a portion of them, or the tenth of the rent to any object, they should be aware that they did not, by making the payment 2s. instead of ss. 0r.65., as it was reported they now were, commit an act of spoliation towards the great mass of the peopleof of this tith es o country, rof b were ut notwhowere individually deeply proprietors e Trs either in the proper appropriation of this property.—(Hear, hear.) He was anxious that the bill of the noble lord should br speedily brought froward, and he sincerely hoped it would be founded 'on the principle of strict justice, because whatevee other effect might, be produced, if one effect was an act of spoliation, he was sure not two years would elapse before the same princicle would be acted on towards other property: Mr. D. W. HARVEY wished to see the question of tithes properly settled, and not to see them improperly diverted, because whether they belonged to the church or to the nation, one thing was clear, that they did not belong to the landlords.—(Cheers.) He thought the country was greatly indebted to the noble lord opposite (Lord Ebring ton) in affording gentlemen that opportunity of delivering their sentiments—although they were crude ones—on a subject which so much occupied the public mind. What the country wanted was a correct estimate of the real value of tithes, and then would come the question as to the mode of appropriating them. With regard to the Dissenters, he agreed with the lion, member for Wilts (Mr. Benett), that, no Dissenter of any re, spectability wished to interfere with the existing interests o f the present incumbents. That petitionn ought not to be called one for the abolition Of tithes, but one offering an humble suggestion of the way in which every person might help himself. The real design of the 9,000 worthy men of Devonshire was to be relieved fro the payment of 3s. out of every ss. they now paid, He would do any thing with the five million which was value 0,1 the tithes in England to the noble lord (the Chancellor t the Ex. chequer) than to any or the 9,000 petitioners or any landlord in the country. fair R. FEEL and Mr. BENETT explained., Mr. O'DWYER casled upon the right hon. baronet (Sir It Peel) in the name of his constituents who receives:, no spiritual instruction from the church, to support him (Mr. O'Dwyer) in relieving them from the burden of tithes. Mr. CUR'FEIS said that his constituents sympathized very strongly with the people of Devonshire, and were equally anxious to obtain a fair commutation of tithes. An Hosz. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, sup ported the petition, having been requested to do so by the peti tioners. He was sure that though the people of Devon had taken, the lead upon this occasion, their example would be speedily followed by the rest of the country. Mr. BULTEEL explained. Lord EBRINGFON, in reply, said that he must protest against the expressions used by the hon. member for Col chester with respect to those petitions, and he would add, that men more honest, and more incapable of being biassed, by unworthy motives, id not exist.—(Hear, hear) There was another expression, also, which gave bins great pain ; for an hon member, whilst he admitted that the statements of the great landowners werenot in unison with those ofthe petitioners, stated that in their dissent they were actuated by their private Connection with church patronage, or by their private interest as lay impropriators of tithes. On their part lie (Lord Ebring ton) threw back the expression, and he begged leave to say that they were as incapable as the petitioners of being actuated by other than the most honest and conscientious motives in the course which they had thought fit to take. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition from the Pro testant Dissenters of Frome. Mr. FITZSI MON presented a petition from Parlmerston, in the county of Dublin, for a repeal of the Legislative Union. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from the Medi., cal Professsion of Sunderland relative to the Cholera. Mr, Hun' presented a petition, against impressment oksea. Alen, from Kingston urea Hull; Also one, onithe same. subject, from an individual ca led George Charles Smith, a man wel. known in the country ; as well as another from the Protestant Dissenters. Mr. BAINES presented a petition fem. the dissenters of Greosely and Pocklington, praying for relief from the grie vances under which they laboured. Mr. DOBBIN presented a petition from parishes in Ar magh and,Down, for the abolition of tithes. Mr.TAYLEURE presented a petition from the Dissenters of Bridgewater, praying for relief. Lord AIOLYNEUX presented similar petitions from St. Helens, West Haughton. Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented a petition from the ratepayers of Manchester, complaining of the election of church wardens. and overseers for that borough, and praying for an alteratiOnt of the law upon the subject. It being a e'eloeit the SPEAKER then left the Chair, and he hoped that such would be the case. He cautioned th e noble lord, however, not to bring in any half.measure, for it would meet with general disapprobation. He begged to give his most decided support to the prayer of the petition. Mr. WILBRAHAM was willing to concur in any measure for the relief of the agricultural interest, but at the same tine he must protest against any particular county dictating to the rest of the country —(Oh, oh.) As to the exact mode of commuting tithes, that mode which might suit the county of Devon might be unjust to the rest of the bountry. It should be left to the wisdoin of that Parliament in which the people were fairly represented, and in which (a far as regarded the other house), the clergy were also represented. Although he agreed in the general allegations of the petition, he protested against the particular mode of redress being laid down. Mr. DIVETT, having been present at the meeting at which the petition was agreed to, and having been in the minority on that occasion, was anxious to state his reasons why he dissented from the petitioners. He fully agreed with his noble friends as to the high respectability of the petitioners, but he must say that most of the persons who assembled at the meeting came there with strong opinions previously formed.—(Hear.) The petitioners thought that from the plan which had been pro, posed by the government, the farmers would derive no benefit ; but he thought they would derive great benefit, for this reason, that in Devonshire there was a great number of small occu piers and leaseholders, and therefore they would be greatly b. , - nefitted during the continuance of their holdings. If was true that tithes originated in barbarous times, and he attributed their continuance so long to the moderation with which they had been enforced.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !" and " Hear ") They had also been greatly extended during the war, when the high prices existed, and they had not been decreased in propor tion to the decrease in the prices.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted, however, that the measure of the government would be pro ductive of much good, and that a clause would be introduced for the redemption of tithes. He knew it was of great im portance that all the bickerings and heart-burnings between the c ergy and the people should be speedily removed. As to the dictation spoken of by the hon, member who preceded him, he denied that any thing of that kind prevailed at the meeting at which the petition was agreed to. He knew that the feeling against tithes was stronger in Devonshire than in most other counties ; and he should like to see the question settled so as to remove all the existing ill feeling upon the subject. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had a few words to address to the house in consequence of some observations made by the noble lord opposite (Lord J. Russell), both in that house and at a public meeting in Devonshire. The noble lord, at that meeting.—(Lord J. Russell—l did not attend the meeting.) No matter, at some . other meeting.—(A laugh.) The noble lord was reported in the public papers to have condescended to notice so humble an individual as himself, and also to have attributed to him (Mr. O'Connell) a wish not duly to abolish tithes, but that he would support a motion for restoring tithes to the original owner.—(No, no, from Lord J. Rusiell.) It was so stated in the newspapers. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he did not know what was attributed to him in the public papers, but he was glad to have that opportunity of stating that he did not think that he had said any thing resembling what the hon. and learned member alluded to. The only thing that occurred to him that he (Lord John Russell) did say was, that at some meeting, speaking of abbeys and nunneries, he expressed a supposition that nobody except the hon. and learned member for Dublin wished to see them restored—(Cheers and laugh ter.) He said this in consequence of that hon. and learned member having been represented at some meeting at Kildare to have lamented very pathetically over the ruins of the once flourishing nunneries of that part of Ireland.—(A laugh.) Mr. O'CONNELL said that the noble lord did him justice. Wh'ate‘ier might be his speculative or individual opinions upon the value of those institutions—and he did con sider them very valuable—he had never said even one word that contained any idea of the transfer of that species of property to the original owners, vested as it was un der several Acts of Parliament, and settled by a long course of time. For himself, individually, he would add, that the greater part of that property which he possessed was of this nature. There was another observation of the noble lord which he did mike, for he usedit in the house that morning, viz., his attributing the origin of tithes to barbarous times. They certainly did not exist in Ireland till they were intro duced by the English, so that the English ware the barbarous bestowers of tithe upon that country.—(Loud cheers from the Irish Members, and laughter.) If they could get rid of that barbarous novelty it would be no small blessing.—(Hear.) The noble lord had promised a bill to make some alteration with respect to tithes; but it should be recollected that every alteration was not an amendment ; they should see whether it aggravated or diminished the evil, then eve, y one would concur in it, but if it aggravated the evil, then it was incumbent on the government to give up their plan.—(Hear, hear.) They were bringing forward a plan not after speculation but after a trial and a failure. It had been tried in Ireland and?: ' had failed, for it had aggravated the evils. Whilst the tithe system existed the tithe-payer had a choice either to give up a tenth part of his corn and potatoes, or to pay it in money. If corn was dear, then. of course, his choice would be, pay it in money, but where the corn was cheap and abundant, then, on t..e contrary, it would be his choice to pay it in kind. The peasantry in Ireland had very little ready capital, and this choice was, to them, of no small importance.—(Hear. hear.) The Tithe Composition Act not only took away the choice, but it gave the clergy many facilities of recovering their tithes which they did not possess before. It gave the clergy a grinding power over the unfortunate farmer—it gave him power to distrain even the growing crop ; and whereas, before, the clergyman could enter the ground only once a year, he was now enabled to came twice, and to carry away with him anything he could lay his hands on.—(Hear, hear, hear ) Whatever was wanted for daily consumption the clergyman came and marked far distraint, - and the poor creature was thrust into gaol for daring to give a potatoe to his family. The alteration, in his (Mr. O'Connell's) opinion, instead of being an improvement had made matters worse. No good, In his opinion, could be effected by a change in commutation. He felt it to be his duty most solemnly to protest agairist the bill doing any thing further than aggravating the mischiefs com plained of, as it gave the power of distraining without that of replevying.—(Hear, hear.) And he theretore im. plored honourable members, before they consented to a commutation in England (he had already shown its bad effects in Ireland) to ascertain whether it would be productive of good or evil. He felt great delight that a petition of such a charac ter should have been presented from so great a county, and did not consider that it had been at all disparaged from what had fallen from the hon. member for Cheshire. An HONOURABLE MEMBER denied that the question at all belonged in any exclusive manner to the landlords. The question wa:. no doubt, one of great importance, but that was not the proper time for discussing it—the discussion would be had with more advantage when the bill promised by the government was under the consideration of the house. Mr. R. TODD concurred with the last speaker—the discus sion would be of a more kgislative nature when the bill was before the house, and would be attended wits real advantage. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that the plan proposed by the petition was one of the most gross, and was tinged with more of a character of robbery and plunder than any plan ever before suggested in that house.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") That, however, was not the time to take the measure into consideration ; but he could not let the discussion close without stating what his opinion upon the subject was. He believed that when rent in this county was at 11., the tithes usually averaged 51.—(N0, no.) He believed he was pretty nearly right, but as it was only a hypothetic case, he would take it at that rate. Then, if for those 4/. or 5/. they were to give only 24, by anp sort of transferenee, undoubtedly that would be a measure of gross spoliation. He denied, that the people, as a people would receive any benefit from a trans. ference of property, in whatever way it might be carried into effect. Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. WILBRAHAM said a few words in explanation. Mr. A. BARING considered that that discussion was partially unnecessary ; there was no general view drawn up for the adjustment of that question. Various plans and schemes were proposed, but they seemed to have emanated either from the private opinions of honourable members, or to have been only the mere instructions of their constituents. His Majesty's ministers would do well to take warning from the dissatisfaction that was felt through out the country last year, at the postponement of such an im portant question as the commutation of tithes. It was quite impossible to do justice to the property of the clergy, and make concessions to the people, without mature deliberation. The question was encompassed with great difficulties; hon. members should be expected to yield a good deal, and not be so unrea able as to expect perfection in all the parts of the bill that would be subjected to discussion. The great evil attending this question was, that hon, members were putting all sorts of captious objections to the particulars of any measure when propounded; yet there was no clear or distinct mode proposed as a substitute for what was found fault with. It would 1?e -come the house not to irritate the country, nor to imitate them selves, by useless and premature discussions. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.
