loudly invoked than when Protestants were sacrificed to bigotry and superstition. In the name of truth, a lso, Ireland had been cursed with penal laws. He would not dwell on that part of the subject. But when they saw how the sins of the fathers had been visited on the children,—when they saw what a crop of evils had resulted from the attempt, in 1704, to degrade the whole Catholic population of Ireland, he trusted they would not again disgrace the statute hook by the admission or the continuance in it of such partial and unjust laws. It had been said that the people of England were not prepared for such a Proposition, and that if it were to pass in that house, it would not be agreed to by the other branch of the legislature. As to the people of England, he was convinced that they were prepared to adopt the pro- Position to the fullest extent. And as to the other do branch of the legislature, that house had nothing to with it. It was the duty of the House of Commons t o Proceed without fear. or without other consideration than that of placing itself right in the public opinion. It was thei r d uty to re d eem th e pledge which ,they exhad given with respect to Ireland—" to extinguish all just eauses of complaint, without injury to the rights and Property of any class of his Majesty's subjects, or to Ray institution in church or state." ( Hear, hear.) Let them do this, and he would venture to predict that the t ime would soon arrive when that vision of conciliation betwee n the two countries which Mr. Pitt said he saw et a distance, but which he could not then realize, would be substantiated. Let that house by its vote of to-night do justice ; and the people of England, who were never insensible to the cause of justice, and who wer e al w ays willing to maintain right, would give them that hearty support by which alone great politi- N ameliorations could be brought to a successful 'sane. He would now move the following resolution : That the Protestant .Episcopal Establishment in Ireland exceeds the spiritual wants of the Protestant Population ; and that, it being the, right of the state to r egulate the distribute of church prerty'# . such manner as Parliament may determine, it is the opinion °I this house that the temporal possessions of the Church of Ireland, as now established by law, ought to be reduced." ( Hear, hear.) Mr. GROTE rose to second the motion of his hon. friend, and stated that he did so, fully concurring in all the opinions which he had expressed. He felt that the proposition was not only an act of justice, but that it was recommended by every consideration connected With the peace of Ireland, and connected with the Peace of the empire at large. It was a proposition, the adoption of which would be wise at all times, but Would be especially wise at the present moment, when t he question of tithes in Ireland had become one of so much importance, and when such extensive alterations Were made and proposed in the law with respect to that subject. The eloquent speech of 'his hon. friend, and the manner in which he had touched upon all the su bjects to which the motion related, not only reli eve d 1111 (Mr. Grote) from the necessity of entering at great length upon the question, but imposed upon him t he duty of not doing so. The adoption of the propo sition would in no way assail the spiritual efficiency of the church in Ireland ; its only effect would be to assail t he immoderate endowments of that church. As far as its spiritual efficiency went it would be left as it Wks, but it would be stripped of those worldly riches which, while they added nothing to its weight and in fluence, were the cause of the distress and impoverish ment of the whole of the Irish population. The view Which ought to be taken of the Church of Ireland and the Church of England was not only not the same, but w4 s Oppose bot in sirit and in incile. What was the arg it ument h in defence of the pr church p establish- M ent in England ? That the majority of the people Were members of the Church of England. The same Itt gument could not be used in defence of the church tatablishment in Ireland. He need not remind the 'Louse,or it was a matter of notoriety, that when tithes were originally set apart, they were intended for the whole religious community of a country. In those e arly days dissent from the establishment was unknown d Unexpected. In the sixteenth century, however, th e Ref o rmation broke up the un if orm i ty o f re li g i on. What b eca me of the temporaliti es o f th e c h urc h ? pinyof them were taken by the Government for se tt. purposes, but others were not so. The only case to Europe in which church property had been so dealt w itil d that it had devolved not to government, but to a small minority of the people, was the case of the Church E sta bli s h ment o f I re l an d. ( H ear , h ear .) There was no instance in which aehumh establishment was so richly endowed, with reference to the number of person s who were members of it. Take the Church 13 1 France, for instance, even under the priest-ridden Charles X . In 1828 the religious revenue of France f as 33,200 ,000 francs on a population of 32,000,000 _ persons, being something more than a franc a head. The r evenue of the Protestant Church in Ireland was 900,000/. on a population of 600,000 persons, being no less than thirty shillings per head, or more than t hirty times as much as in France. It was scarcely Ilecessary to allude to Scotland after the admirable s tatement of his hon. friend. If he were to do so, the contrast would be more glaring, yet the Scotch clergy Were one of the most efficient religious bodies in ex istence. On what ground of right or expediency so disproportionate a r evenue was cont i nue d to t h e Esta blished Church in Ireland, he was at a loss to con- He perfectly agreed with his hon. friend that i fie hou se h a d a r i g h t to d ea l w i th church property as • ` Pleased. The Parliament of the present day was ItLs t as competent to regulate church property as the i a ' r i llament of f ormer d a y s . N o man respecte d t h e pi_ghts ats of individuals more than he did ; an d th ose . rights he maintained that th e r i g ht o f ought to be fully protected ; but with respect prospectiver'n! stat e t o deal with church property as it chose was ull and undiminished. Those who maintained the con- Za•rY—those who maintained that it was competent to Past legislatures to tie up church property for -ever, Whatever changes might take place in times and in r eligion, must, in his opinion, run counter to the Clearest dictates of justice and policy. He contended th at a stronger case than the present could hardly be trade out. If he were drawing on his imagination, he eould not state circumstances more cogent than those which really existed. The population of Ireland, m iserably poor, and gifted with peculiar vivaciousness aitd susceptibility of excitement, were peculiarly sub th-ets for religious and political disunion. What was co result ? That the catholic population of that t o „ unt rY entertained the most uncontrollable hostility Tf i vards the protestant establishment of that country. at establishment became the object of enmity not faerely account of wealth, on account of its inv, '-ui vini„.•on in itself the its maintenanc b e ut of the protestant v ; em idattey. The adoption of the prop o sed measure .._eas necessary, n o t on ly as re d ress i ng re li g i ous griev -les, b u t as t en di ng to prevent ' the perpetuation of ,Political disunion. Let the protestant church be pro perly maintained in Ireland, but let it no longer assume that to which it Tyr s n o t entitled. The a tt emp t to maintain that assumption had always been produc tive of ev il, an d h a d b een the fruitful parent of multi- Plied penalties and multiplied calamiti es . To diminish t he revenues of the church in Ireland would be to diminish the distress of the Irish People, and to ro 'England P and '!tote harmony and alliance betwee n Ireland; for if the protestant church Inls a grievance 11)11 Ireland, it must be recollected that a was upheld Y the irresistible weight and influence of En g l an d ; t e ,n(l that the Irish people, therefore, looked upon- us as , 1 e authors and perpetuators of that grievance. If, t'tilierefore, the house wished that the union between e two countries should be a union not merely i n na me, A . s _but . in reality, this evil must be redressed. eaffection, the result of mutual benefits might o n s pring up between the two countries. That la rd never be the case, while the Irish Catholics were a„rgely taxed for the purpose of paying ,- the members 0 ° f t church establishment, supported by the authority Engl an d . We could not expect it—we ought not t 0 expect i t. It was evident, during the recent de rte n the le g i s l at i ve union, that such was the case.

I move , therefore, that this debate be adjourned to . Monday. The question beingput, the Ayes were unanimous. ADJOURNME - ST OF THE HOUSE. Lord ALTHORP observed, that under any cir comstances the house would of course, at its rising that night, have adjourned to Friday ; but under the cir cumstances which he had just stated, the house would permit him to move that, at its rising, it should adjourn to Monday.—Ordered. The various notices and motions on the paper were then postponed for different days, and at eight o'clock the house adjourned till Monday. FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-SITTING or MAY 24.

The Editor of The Sun, who showed his libera lity in the promotion of the investigation of truth, by printing, on the 26th inst., the reward of 501., is now requested to favour, by insertion, the following extract of a letter to Lord Althorp MY LORD,-Since your Lordship, in your introductory speech on the Poor Law Bill, in the handsomest manner invites communication on the subject, I venture to state that in this parish, where the rates have been for many years 16s. in the pound of two-thirds rental, last year, by the adoption of a labour rate, they were reduced to 9s. 6d. ; but a more permanent relief, in my humble opinion, would be, letting labourers hire land at a fair rent near their cot tages, by which owners would be no losers, as such rents are punctually paid, and the Poor Rates reduced. The enormous abuses of the Poor Laws have arisen from the legislative error of intrusting tenants with the management of the rates, instead of committing them to the owners, who are interested in preventing mal-appro priation. In Scotland, your Lordship probably knows, the her-- tors (landowners) or their proxies, are the sole managers of the funds for the poor, and hence, whilst in England the Poor Rates are an intolerable burden, in Scotland they are hardly perceptible. In a parish in the Highlands of Scotland, which is a fair specimen of the whole (with which I am well ac quainted) consisting of about two thousand inhabitants, the whole rates raised amount to no more than 501. per annum, a great proportion of which is raised at the church doors. I have for many years felt a deep interest in the welfare of the labouring class, and used my individual exertions for bettering their condition, which I hope will plead my excuse for now addressing your Lordship, and, with the sincerest respect, I remain Your very humble servant, J.

The number of stakes now run for, the large increase in the public money added to them, and the precision with which everything relating to the meeting is now conducted, afford abundant evidence that the new system works well. The proprietors of horses are under no slight obligation to the resident stewart (Baron de Tessier) for the attractions held out to them and the facilities afforded ; and the public are not less indebted to him for the attention paid to their safety, accommodation, and comfort on the Downs. We do not exceed the truth in stating, that the details of the meeting, as now ordered, are unsurpassed at any place in the kingdom, equalled by few, and are the more deserving of commendation from the numberless difficulties that pre sented themselves when the races came under the superin tendence of the " Reform Committee." The " ways and means," under able financiers, have been so liberally sup plied, that, independently of considerable sums expended on the Downs, the sums added to the various stakes double the amount given in 1831, and that without being forced to an issue of Exchequer Bills." Much has been done on the Downs in the way of improvement ; the prin cipal alteration is in the Derby Course, commencing at the Barn, where it takes a much wider sweep than formerly; this new part is in length about a quarter of ' a mile, is full eighty !eet wide, and entirely does away with the dangerous turn at Tattenham corner. The hill is quite as trying as before, it-not being deemed .good po licy to alter in the slightest degree the character of the Derby Course for severity. The new ground is quite ready, but the stewards have decided not to bring it into use this year, conceiving it probable that objections might be raised by parties who have horses in the race, or are, betting on it. Several large pits in various parts of the. Downs have been filled up, and great attention paid to all the gallops—strong oak posts and smooth rails placed all round the inside of Tattenham's Corner, and the roads turned, which will have the effect of making the course much safer than before. These alterations have been principally designed and superintended by Mr. Weeks, who has for a long period been employed in improving the, Newmarket Heath. The collection on the ground is noid let by tender, and thrown entirely open to public competil. tion ; for the present meeting it was taken at five hundred! guineas ! We should not omit to mention, that, to ame liorate the pressure and inconvenience generally complained of at the Ewell Gate, a new road has been cut leading im mediately from it to the centre of that town, and avoiding the awkward corner near the church. It will be found of essential service on the Derby day. The attendance yesterday was fully as good as is gene rally found on the first day, the visiters having on their route received a disa g reeable foretaste of what may be ex pected on the Derby day, if the weather hold till then. Those who anticipate a " trait" will not be disappointed, for all the dust in the county appears to have selected this line of road to do honour to the occasion. The tailors, dressmakers, and publicans are certainly under great obli gations to the contractors, who, instead of watering the roads, very confidently employ their horses in agricultural purposes, a plan invariably adopted by them, whenever any racing meeting occurs to require more than ordinary atten tion to the public convenience. The Grand Stand was • opened at the same moderate scale of charge as last year, and' was patronised by the fashionable part of the company. Besides many others, we observed the follow ing distinguished individuals :—Duke of Rutland, Mar quis of Conyngham, Marquis Graham, Earl and Coun tess Wilton, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Stradbroke, Earl Jersey, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of March, Count Matuscewic, Lord G. H. Bentinck, Lord Sydney Osborne, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord Fitzroy Len nox, Lady Arundel, 'Sir 111. Wood, Sir L. Glyn, Sir G. Heatheote, Hon. Mr. Arundel, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Hon.

Greville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Wor rall, Mr. A. Hunter, Mr. F. Charlton, Mr. Spalding, Mr. Clive, Mr. Cottrell,,Mr.Delme Radcliffe, Mr. Biggs, Mr. Batson, Mr. Stonehewer, Mr. S. Stanley, Mr. Cosby, Mr. T. Cosby, &e. &c.. The racing commenced at one o'clock, and was pro longed till half-past five, the number of stakes to be de cided being greater than formerly. The following will be found to contain an accurate statement of the sport : The races came off as follow : The Craven Stakes of 10 soya. each, for 3-yrs.-old, Est: ; 4 yrs., Bst. ; 5 yrs., Bst. 91b. ; 6 yrs., 9st. 21b. ; and aged, 9st. 51b.

Messenger, Bto 1 agst. Samarcand, and Bto 1 agst. Old Bill. Belshazzar took the lead at a strong pace, Messenger, Samarcand, and Clarion lying next him, and Colwick in the rear ; there was not any material change of position till they were round Tattenham's corner, where Colwick joined the front ranks, the Worthless gelding taking upon himself the duty of whipper-in. At the distance-post Belshazzar declined, his place in the van being immediately occupied by Col wick, who, maintaining it to the finish, won cleverly by two lengths, Clarion second, Messenger and Belshazzar a couple of lengths astern of him (each claiming the third place), Samarcand fifth, Unicorn sixth, Old Bill seventh, and Worthless last. It will be recollected that Colwick, Clarion, and Belshazzar ran for the Craven Stakes at Newmarket, and that they came in precisely as above ; there was this difference, however, in the manner of run ning--that the Newmarket Craven Meeting was slow and won by a head, while its namesake at Epsom was very fast, and won in a canter. Its result drove Bubastes back in the Derby betting. Produce Sweepstakes of 100 sore. each, h. ft. Course. 3 subs. Derby Mr. Theobald's b. f. by Mameluke(NorrnanY 1 Sir G.
