PRICE 7D. had been made in behalf of one about to be tried for his life, by a distinguished individual uncorrected with that part of the county where the events took place, and he was most desirous that a satisfactory answer should be given. The LORD ADVOCATE said, in respect to general rumour, and as far as the precise information which he had received, was concerned, the Hon. Member was correct. Such an interference, however, had been made, and he had directed immediate inquiries as to the accuracy and extent of it to be made, but he had yet received no positive answer. Mr. HUME postponed his motion respecting the Bishopric of Derry for one week. lie did not wish to in terfere with the progress of the Reform Bill, and hoped no advantage would be taken of this postponement for filling up the office to which his motion referred. The from. MEMBER then moved for account of advances made out of the Consolidated Fund, made by the promotion of Exchequer Bills for the carrying on public works in Ire land. Lord ALTIIORP moved the order of the day for the House reso!ving into a Committee on the Reform Bill. Lord N ALLETORT requested some explanation on the subject of France. In doing so, he thought he did a favour to Ministers. We knew their desire was for peace, but peace, desirable as it was, might be too dear a price for the compromise of a natioon's honor. The transaction to which he alluded, was, that the French Government had since their attack upon Lisbon, taken pos s.tssion and expressed a determination to keep all Portuguese ships tl at were lying in the Tagus, except two schooners, at the time of the attack. If the information be had received was correct, and if Government could give no more satisfactory explanation of it than had been given by Fiance, he would say that the fleet of Sir Edward Codrington might have been employed much more for the honour and interest of the country than in laying at anchor in the Downs, or cruizin in:the Scheldt, to crush the efforts of Holland. He trnsted some satisfac tory answer would be given. Lord PALNIERSTON said, as to fact, the Noble Lord was correctly informed. All the Portuguese ships of war were considered as spoils of war. They were taken, and the line-ofbattle ships were given up, it appearing on investigation that they had not taken any part or share in the action. If any opportunity were granted him, and if a charge were made that his Majesty's Ministers had not duly supported the honour of the country, or fulfilled the obligation imposed upon them by duty, he would defend their conduct to the satisfaction he was sure of the country, and to the credit of Ministers. cLIIIT SPEAKING.)

FEMALE PORTRAITS.—The personal charms of many of the Itches who formed at once the delight and disturbance of our SECOND CHARLES'S glittering Court, have been always noted in the records of feminine attrac tion ; and ad who have gazed on their living images em bodied on the canvass of Sir PETER. LELY at Windsor, have confessed the justice, of their celebrity. Tne entire galaxy of fair stars will shortly be submitted to the familiar contemplation of the public, by means of the re flective art of the engraver. We allude to the work en titled " The Beauties of the Court of CHARLES 11." which is now advancing towards completion, the third number having been just issued. The accompanying bio graphies, from the brilliant and lively pen of a well-known Authoress, will doubtless enhance in no slight degre the popularity of this tasteful collection.

REVOLUTION IN LIMA.—A gentleman landed here yesterday evening from the brig-twine Courier front Lima, hound to London, with about 2.50,000 dollar, on board on merchants' aceount, from whom we learn that a revolution had taken place at Litna two or three days before his departure, on the 21st of April., It appears that the President, General GAMARRA, who was in the interior, bad dispatched one of his aide de-camps to Lima for th e a purpose of inciting the Mops against the Vice-President, General LA FUENTE, but h is ob j ect having been discovered, the Vice-Pr, sident caused hi m to be taken p risoner and put on board a ship of war. The troo p s, however, declared against General LA FUENTE, andripsornoeer7dbeudt, by the s. to his house with the intention of taking him prtsoner, sistance of one of his slaves, he escaped through the chim ney, and with General MILLER , t ook refu g e on board the American sloop of war San Luis. The President of the Senate, Don ANDRES REYS, was then called on to exercise the supreme authority in the absence of General Gamatt ita, and all again appeared quiet. The cause of General LA FUENTE'S unpopularity is attributed to his admission of provision and stores free of duty. —Falrnout h Packet, Saturday. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS,.Auausr 15. ( Continued from our Second Edition of yesterday.) Mr. ROBINSON concurred in the prayer of the petia tion, and said that if t h e l aw of imprisonment for debts under 201. were repealed, he hoped some other measure of enabling persons by other means to recover their small debts would be adopted.—(Hear.) The petition was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME said that he had next to present a petition from two individuals, praying for an alteration in the hackney -coach laws, and that the trade might be thrown open. Also a petition from the journeymen coal-meaaure-makers, praying that as by the alteration in the coal ditties their trade would be greatly injured, they might receive compensation.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUME then rose to present a petition, which he said, was of great importance, as affecting the liberty of the Press. It was from a number of individuals assembled at the Rotunda, in Blackfriars-road, on the 4th of July, and it prayed for a repeal of all the laws that levied duties and imposts on the means of knowledge, which were the bane of every society, and the repeal of which must be advantageous to the country. The Hon. Member referred to the Act of the 60th Geo. 111. chap. 9 (one of the Six Acts), by which any person pull/hefting 4 p4tnphlet or any thing containing news of a less vise than two sheets, or sold at less than 6d., should be liable to a penalty. That law therefore prevented cheap publications fur the use of the poor, while it allowed the rich, who could afford ;nose ex pensive works, to publish as they chose. The result has been that fur a long period individuals have fin borne publishing in fear of the penalty, hut of late there has been such a demand for knowledge that individuals had published small works in defiance of that law, and had been prosecuted. Mr. Carpenter was one of those persons who was pow suffering imprisonment, having been convicted, not for the matte, of his publication, bqt for publishing a pamphlet, which Government called a newspaper, of a less size than two sheets. The continuance of this Act the Ho nourable Member held to be wholly incerrei;teat with the diffusion of knowledge, partipulerlf ;tow when so many schools were establish;el, some of which received annual grants leom We House. Nothing was more con trary to good government than the existence of these laws. This Act was avowedly passed to put down Mr. Cule bett's Register, and passedas it were by force, He (Mr. H.) did not wish to speak of incliVid . 4 pui;licatione, but a s showing the principle ITT.; whia he contended that such laws should nu; e;:iirt. 'Some of the works now published in defiance of the law even went so far as to impnwfbe set tlement of property ; every person who as evil disposed could break the law and putilieh what he pleased, but f, person wishing to do zoo,l would be afraid to act in des ance of the law. If th e l aw were rel44 t e d a ane opinio n or argument could be trier another, and the mischievous consequences now resulting would ha destroyed. Every man should be allowed - ituly to publish what he pleased, for he (lltr. Hu_ «) knew of no opinion or argument that could not be met lay a reply. Every man now suffering for acting in defiance of this law was suffering unjustly, and ought to be imme diately set at liberiy.—( Hear.) Mr. HUNT concurred in the Fiver of th e p e ti t i on , however, declared t h at h e never had n a that all these Acts, called the Castlereagh A c t s , oug h t to bee e r pamphlet iie' that object e d t o t h e settlement of pra nsertyep though',nele d. he had seen some that objected to property qualifications. Mr. a i n '4 d d h e hee li a n d ofO t C h O e N p e N t i i g r r e e q a t t rei s e a e ti d sfa t c o ti e o u n p i p n er d t oi t n h r e prayer so. The mitchief was, that cheap works were now pub lished in defiance of the law, and no well disposed veitcn? would risk disobeying the law by answering ahem. There was now a monopoly of mischief M the market. As to Cobberes Register ; 01,.iigh the Act was passed to put it down, it was afterwards published, and roe: from 2d. • to flit. He hoped Government, who had—and ought to have—leisure enough to attend to the wears of the Royal Fattilly, would attend to the prayer of the petitioners, and repeal this odious leer.

IMPERIAL PA IW AM ENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Loin CHANCELLOR took hie seat oil the Woolsack at Five o'clock. KINNAIRD'S DIVORCE BILL. On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, this Bill was read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the Committee on the Bankruptcy Bill to Friday se'nnight, on account of the indisposition of Lord Lyndhurst. The Earl of ORFORD . seeing the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government in his place, wished to take that opportunity of asking a f-w questions relative to our posture with Franceand Belgium. He wished to know if the French army was at Belgium to uphold the pr tomlr agreed to by the King of the Netherlands, or to uphold the 18 articles accepted by Belgium, or the Constitution sworn to by its present King ; but the principal question which he wished answered was, whether the French army would retreat, as soon as the Dutch army retired to its own frontiers. Earl GREY once more protested against such questions being brought forward in such a manner, without notice having been given. In answer to the Noble Ears's question, he (Earl Grey) begged it to be understood he would not be answerable for any acts of the French Government. The French army had marched for the purpose of repelling the attack of the Dutch upon Belgium, and if there was any virtue in pledges, this country had a right to expect that immediately upon that object being accomplished they would return. With respect to the fortresses, it had not yet been determined which of them were to be dismantled, and the Noble Earl must therefore excuse fling from answering his questions in a more particular manner. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was greatly "relieved by the answer which his Noble Friend behind had elicited from the Noble Earl opposite, with respect to the retreat of the French army. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that the re treat of the French army did not depend upon speeches either in that House or in France, but upon documents signed and agreed to in a regular manner. Earl GREY said the Noble Duke had anticipated him in what he had intended to say, and be would only observe, that he felt himself bound by what he had already said in that House, not only as a Minister but as a man of honour. He deprecated the bringing for ward of such discus,ions in the present state of the negociations. In his opinion no course could be better chosen than that pursued by Noble Lords on the other side of the House, for the interruption and throwing of difficulties in the way of the completion of those nego ciations. (LErr sITTING. ) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Shortly after Three o'clock the SPEAKER entered the House. Mr. HUNT presented a petition froth the unemployed carpenters and joiners of the metropolis, agreed to at a public meeting. They stated that upwards of 12,000 car penters in the metropolis were unemployed, chiefly on ac count of the use of machinery and cast iron in building houses in lieu of wood. They prayed the House to vote a sum of money for the erection of public buildings as a means of giving them employment, and they also prayed for an ex tensio❑ of the elective franchise. Sir C. BURRELL asked the Hon. Member if he was aware that a great part of the di,tress of which the titioners complained was caused by combinations among the workmen ?—(Hear.) He knew that many well disposed persons were willing to work, but they were prevented from getting employment, unless it was at the rate of 30s. a week. If that were true, it was preposterous for these men to ask for a vote of money to erect public works and thereby give them employment. Mr. HUNT said the petitioners had informed him that they were opposed to all such combinations as those al. laded to by the Hon. Member. The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. HUNT then presented a petition from certain in habitants of Bith, complaining of the extravaganc e in the public expenditure, and praying for a reduction in the standing army and public salaries, and for a repeal of certain taxes.—Ordered to be printed. The HON. MEMBER then moved for copies of certain resolutions and regulations of the Magistrates o f t h e county of Southampton, assembled at Winchester, in August, 1822, relative to paupers.—Ordered. Mr. SHELL presented a petition from the Roman Catholics of the town of Newtownsinitti, in the county of Galway, praying fur a reduction of the stamp duty f or persons obtaining their freedom front :3/. to 1/. Also several petitions front various parts of Ireland, against the grant to the Kildare-street Society. npai Lord MILTON rose to present a petition whi c h h e had intended to present las t Session, but was prevented by the dissolution of Pal liarnent. It was front the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriff , a nd citizens of Dubli n , praying s tl i l u e nt Ilouse residentto einstaDbulibslirin, a Board rs of u the purpose od Comtsis ing and developing the resources of Ireland. The peti. tioners stated, that the depression and distress that prevailed in Dublin was not limited to that cily, but extended over the country generally ; that the real nature and extent of the distress was not generally understood b y this House, and that their only mode of remedying those evils was by establishing a Board of Commissioners, for the purpose of developing the resources of the country and making them applicable to the existing distress. The Noble Lord stated, that in his opinion it was extremely advantageous that there should he an intervenin g body between the people and the Government of that country, who could report the result of their labours to this House. That was, in his opinion, the best mode of making thi s House acquainted with the true state of Ireland. Mr. GRATTAN said this subject was one of very con. siderable importance, and well deserved the attention of the House. A Boatel of Commissioners, sitting in Dub lin, and inquiriug into matters connected with the country, would enable the House to obtain more satisfactory infor- Illation relative to the true state of Ireland than w hat it at the present time possessed. Irish ques tions were not sufficiently understood when they became the subject of discussion in this House. The silk trade, now so depressed, and the Irish fisheries, Now almost wholly neglected, as well as various other 'natters, would come under the cognizance of such a Board, and the best means would immediately present themselves to view, to effect great and important improvements. -- The inquiries made by such a Board would be extremely serviceable to the Legislature when legislating for Ireland-- (llear)—and the House would be relieved from a great deal of that discussion upon Irish affairs which so often now occupied the attention of this House.—(Hear, from Alr. O'Connell.) As the Board would cost the country nothing, and as great benefit was expected to result from its establishment, he implored the House to give it at least a trial. Mr. CONOLLY said as the city of Dublin at present had no representatives -he would support the prayer of the petition. Irish subjects too often came before this House in an undigested shape, which would not again occur if a Board of Commissioners was established. The Hon. Member complain e d of the evils which resulted from the frequent change of Secretaries of the Irish Government, each en tertaining different opinions and views of the state of Ire land. As it would cost the country nothing, he would strongly recommend a trial of a Board of Commissioners, which, at least, would satisfy the country. Much of the useless discussion of Irish subjects,with a lack of information, and many of the impracticable, not to say nonsensical , plans that were suggested to this House, would be pre vented by the subjects undergoing a proper inquiry by the Commission e l s . Mr. WYSF was so deeply impressed with the import ance of this subject, that he had intended to propose last session the establishment of such a Board. His propa suion was, that several Boards be appointed, and various subjects entrusted to each Board. There were many 'Tb" jecti upon which this House was frequently occupied, without having sufficient knowleage of the circumstances before it. The local interests of Ireland would be better entrusted to a local Board, leaving the greater or imperial interests to be referred to this House. Local administra tors of local interests were found of great service on the continent, and he trusted they would, in accordance with the prayer of this petition, be established in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL could not allow this opportunity to pass without saying a few words upon the subject. The testimony given by the petitioners as to matter of fact was altogether irresistible. Tio y could have no motive to exaggerate the distress, the extreme—he would say the almost indescribable distress of all classes and grades in Ireland ; indeed their party feelings, if they had any such, would lead them to the contrary extreme. Under this state of things it wis not to be wondered at that the Irish Members, more frequently perhaps than others, thought convenient or becoming., had been obliged to come before the House. They were compelled to do it. One thing he could not avoid saying, and that was, that these demands for Boards in Ireland were just symptom atic of the very general, if not universal,• desire for local legislatures. It was idle to talk of Boards, the people wanted local arrangements in Ireland, to supply local in formation for legislature. The Noble Lord, he was well as sured, slaw as well as he (Mr. O'C. ), the inefficiency of that House to legislate for Ireland. Nothing could prevent a san guinary convulsion throughout the country unless there were such a thing as a local Legislature ; the establishment Of cor porations in Dublin was now demanded, and that proved not indeed the wisdom of the plan, but the dire necessity of the situation of Ireland. The petition was drawn up with very considerable talent, and he would support it. Colonel TORRENS thought that the establishment of such Board was necessary, not merely to shew what might be done, but to shew what should cot be done. As to domestic legislature he held that it was impossible for two countries to have separate legislatures, and remain in permanent political union. If there was to be a do mestic legislature in Ireland, there should be also one in Scotland, another in England, and another in Wales,—a federative union between all, and one Imperial Parliament. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Ireland) said he would support the petition. Much distress certainly, he admit ted, existed in Ireland, but then he could not trace it, with some, to the union of that country with England, that union had neither caused nor in any degree aggra vated the distress ; and those who advocated the repeal of that union took a course which would tend very much to the destruction of both countries. Lord MILTON deemed it most unwise in the Irish na tion to indulge in golden visions of future manufactur ing prosperity. Whatever might be the partialities of Irishmen, he would say that it was to agriculture and not to manufacture that Ireland was to look for prosperity, and agricultural improvements could be promoted only by the private farmers and land-owners of that country. Mr. O'CONNELL admitted that England had advan tages fur manufacturing, for skill, and every thing else ; Ireland would not be behind any part of the world. Lord EBRINGTON would not set up his know ledge of Ireland against that of the Honourable and Learned Member who had just spoke; but he must be allowed to say that he considered the distress of Ireland general, and with respect to Dublin he did not believe that the distress existing there had increased latterly. Sir GEORGE ROSE made a few observations which were inaudible in the gallery. Lcrd MILTON could not agree with what had been stated with respect to the introduction of our laws into Leland. Ile thought one of the greatest benefits that could be conferred upon the Irish would be to place another description of food within their reach than that which they at present had, and the introduction of Corn Laws would have that effect. The petition Was then read. Mr. TALBOT presented a petition from Swansea, praying for no alteration in the clause in the Reform Bill which affected them. Mr. BLAKENEY presented a petition from Carlow, praying to be allowed a drawback on Malt Duties. Mr. BALFOUR presented a petition from Haddington against the use oft a rnolasses in distillation. • Mr. O'CONNELL presented several petitions from dif ferent parts of Ireland against the grants to the Kildare street Society. Also a petition from Graig, praying that the Government would take the Church property in Ireland under its nwn immediate management, and that there might be an equal distribution among all classes of clergymen. On the motion that the petition be brought up, Mr. CRAMPTON denied some of the statements made a few nights ago with respect to the Castle-Pollard affair. It hadleen then stated that Protestants had been selected to serve on the jury, and that Catholics had been rejected, in consequence of instructions having been given by the Law Officers of the Crown to that effect. He could as sure the House that no such instructions had been given, nor was any man challenged on going into the box on account of his being a Catholic. After some few observations from Mr. O'CoNNELL in reply, the petition was read. Mr. SHELL certainly meant not to occupy too much time on this subject. Ife thought his Right Hon. Friend, the Irish Solicitor-General, had taken up this subject with a dis p ro p orti ona . e warmth. The trium phant that out of t we l ve Kilk enny pliant defence of that Right lion. and Learned Gentleman " %a Gentleman . smil e d, b ut h e ought s a Roman C a th o li c !

And as the Right Hon. Gentleman had the management of a Jury Bill just now, it was to be hoped that be would introduce clauses to correct the recurrence of such infamous practice. Ordered to be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that to-mor row he should moved that a copy of the report made to his Majesty's Go vernment of the Maghara transactions, which occurred on the 19 h of December, be laid on the table. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the inha bitants of Carrick-on-Suir, p ray i ng that the yeoma nry night be disarmed. NEW WRIT. Lord STOII aMi‘OieNmTbemr for oved tie thatiboioua, ti g •r h it u m f.A igh rm t a i g ss h u . e for the election of a s S u i i r , je G et . C de L e E pi l y tK affe c c a t l i led ng t t h h e e attention of the H privileges . fpali ci a t u n s e e n t t. o He allu d e d to the delay which had taken place in returns. Therit issued for the election of Members for the borough Great v Grinisbv. The writ had been issued on the 2d inst. an d the election was completed on the 10th; and yet, although the two gentlemen elected came to town on Friday to take the oaths and their seats, and had attended for that purpose on Saturday, yesterday, and to-day, it appeared that no return had been made by the Sheriff. He was certain that the House would agree with him that there was no question to which they ought to look with greater jealousy than that the number of Members should be complete, and for that purpos e various Acts had been passed. But with regard to the returning officers' being compelled to make im • mediate returns to write, the law was considerably re laxed. He conceived it a great breach of the privi leges of the House, if a returning officer delayed making a return one hour after the election. Upon enquiring, he found that the last occasion on which :he House took notice of the delay in the return of a writ was in the year 1806, when the Sheriff of the city of Water ford neglected to return a Member. On that occa sion the Deputy Clerk of the Crown had been or dered to attend the House, and to state whether any re turn had been made from the Sheriff. The Hon. Baronet should adopt that course and moved accordingly. Lord ALTHORP agreed with the Right Hon. 13 ironet, that it was not merely the duty of the House to see that its Members were complete, but still more its duty to prevent any trick.—(Hear, hear.) The Clerk of the Crown-office having attended at the bar, was examin e d, an d stated th at no return had been made up to this morning from Great Grimsby. Sir G. CLERK should follow up the course pursued in the Waterford case, by moving that the Sheriff of Lin colnshire and the returning officer for Great Grimsby be ordered to attend the bar of the House on Friday next. After a few words from Lord ALTIIORP, Sir TIIONIAS FielaaraNTLE, and Sir JOHN WRCTTESI.rY, the question was agreed to. Mr. KENNEDY begged leave to ask the Lord Advocate a question relating to some occurrences, which, on the 12th of July last, had agitated that part of the country with which he was connected, he meant the county of Ayr. The disturbances to which he alluded had been the cause of much alarm ; lives had been lost, and certain persons had been in dicted for their participation in them.—(hear, hear.) It was rumoured that interferences unknown to the law, e .4.0 .-.7.. c ! riblicatione could' only he remedied hy porsnligast kbe. ree 't.

Member to the debates of that period, wherein he would find that the I avowed object was to suppress Cobbett's Regist er . 1 Mr. HUNT still denied it, and said Cobbett was out of s ' the country, and did not return for a twelvemonth. Mr. HUME next called the attention of the House to another petition, of equal importance to the last. It %vs. from 1,200 individuals in Bolton, praying the House to tike into consideration the punishments lately inflicted upon persona, at the instance of the Society for the Suppress ' 1 sion of Vice, for entertaining certain religious opinions, 1 The petitioners referred more particularly to the case of the Rev. Robert Taylor. This individual was known to entertain opinions differing from those of persons of the I Established Church. A Jew, a Unitarian, a Mahotnedan, I and a .Hindoo, all entertained opinions differing from those of the Established Church; and if the principle were admitted that one class of opinions were to he put down, then there would, in consequence, be a monopoly of reli gious opinion. Every Act which bad a tendency to impugn the religious opinion or sentiment of any c'aes of persons, he (Mr. Hume) conceived to be an Act of gross tyranuv and of the very worst kind. He also depre cated the prosecution of these persons by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. There were persona belonging, 1 to that Society who were Members *f Societies for the. Diffusion of knowledge (which received not leas th la 16,000/. a year from this House) and for sending out missionaries to convert the inhabitants of India, and it was his opinion that it ill became those persons to institute prosecntions in this country against persons who enter. tained opinions differing from theirs. It was a disgrace to this country to allow such laws to remain on the statute-book. Mr. Taylor was a gentleman ; he had been a member of the Church of England, who had gone through all the degrees at the Cambridge University, and held a lucrative situation. Was •it to he supposed that he was not acting from con scientious motives, when he declined to subscribe any longer to the Thirty-nine Articles, and when be left the church and the emnfuniersts that he received? He (Mr. H. ) contended, that to punish an individual whose opinions were changed solely froin-his conscientious feelings,was unjust and impolitic. That a person of telents,education, and an enlight ened mind, should he confined in Horsemonger-lane gaol for two years, deprived, if the rule* of the prison were followed up, every Of . comfort, deprived of th e use o f all booms., except those which were sanetioned by the Chaplain or by two Magistrates, he held to be alike monstrously unjust and dangerous in principle. There was, however, no medium, he thought, to be observed in the execution of such a system. Mr. Taylor had only expressed honestly his private opinions, end in a private room, to those only who went to hear and were desirous to understand his opinions. —(Hear, hear, and cries of " Oh, oh.") He (Mr. Hume) had often moat sincerely regretted, never doubting the sincerity of Mr. Taylor's opinions, the mode in which that unfortunate individual had persevered on many occasions in forcing them on public notice--(Hear) —because there was most certainly a deference which was due to the established religious opinions of the country, and they ought never to be assailed otherwise than by moderate fair argument and reason. But he oould not but consider him the victim, in this instance, of private infor mation, and the unfortunate object of tyrannical oppression. If in places of public resort -...at Charing-eross,for example-- Taylor had • presented himself, reviling and bringing into ridicule the established religion cf the land, he then ought most certainly to have been removed as a public nuisence, but he was condemned to imprisonment because he had uttered his opinions in a private room, for such he would call the Rotunda.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") He did not think that twelve men could have been found in London that would have, upon evidence he would say surreptitiously obtained, found Taylor guilty of the alleged misdemeanour. No man differed from the principles of Mr. Taylor more than (Mr. Hume) did, but if the sentence were deeigned to arrest the progress of infidelity, he could say from pri vate knowledge that it could only have a different effect, Mr. J. WOOD had always considered the opinions of Mr. Taylor moat revolting and pernicious; the manner, too, in which he had attempted to promulgate them was ' net less revolting and obscene. He considered him, how ever, rather an object of pity than of punishment.; and as prosecutions for opinion always tended to extend its publi city, he regretted that any notice had at all been taken of him. He would support the prayer of the petition. Mr. TREVOR was surprised to hear the Hon. Member o f f o r merelyll I i d tll e s h e x o l d a i r n g g u e thosethi cars, op i it i a o a s i „ f pwri T euna a d y ip l zi o nr r ; l a i m a te t i l td b green con thm:dhrtaeiidgamnt hacnuTtee,reedi right eih f taes v o trr r dotatuiuo a ffai simple differeoce of religi:ns opinion ; and I nd e d , :di::: console led ehi v o i.h luernot:wpm. i hno b i ; s3ott u l n i tnt e ,op v itis e l:23i dot opinion :I, he been cbi sentence 7o s n, ac on nd r v e ni p ca l t e n : de e individuals who were not really aware of the circum stances, harshness and injustice. But bad Taylor been convicted opinions, e A t o denym andan to gain converts to his blasphemous' doctrines ; hence it. was a public offence, an offence against society, which called for public interferenee and punishment ; and those who could bring themselves to believe and imagine that the sentonces pronounced upon Mr. Taylor was harsh sold unjust, must also bring themselves to hold that She principles of public morality and religion were of no importance whatever.oo(Hear, hear.) Air. Taylor had been sometimes represente.l as a man a education, as one brought op at an University, and lsap able of know ing right from wrong—if he had an ,enlightened mind, lie (Mr. Trevor) held it to be an aggravation of his crime, and calling for, if pesaible, a heavier sentence. He considered that tit ateeh doctrines as had been broached by Mr. Taylor the greater part of the criminality and vice that presa - ileci was to be attributed, and he was at a loss to know how the argument was to be sustained, that in endeavouring to repress the diffusion of such opinions the laws were more lesteh than the Spanish Inquisition, For his part, he never would allow opinions like these to go abroad without expressing his utter abhorrence and de tez:skion of them. He thought Mr. Taylor had not been treated more severely than his case deserved, for if there was one crime the% ought to be visited more heavily ti,au another, it wail that of which he had been guilty. The opinions. that had been spread abroad by him were not cniy destructive to society, but the salvation of his fellow mortals. Captain CORI - 16N expressed his unqualified dissent to the speech of the lion. Member for Middlesex. With res.peet so the complaint against the Society for the Sup pression of Vice, he not only conceived .it Unjust, but he considered the country under great obligations to it for tho meritorious part it had acted; it bad reared its influence as a barrier against blasphemy end vice, and as a patron to virtue. Mr. Taylor bad not only blasphemed the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of Eng land, but he had done every thing in his power to turn them into ridicule and contempt. When the Honour able Member for Middlesex talked of Mr. Taylor's not diffusing his opini4ns publicly, could he he aware that Mr. Thlor was the writer and contributor to a work ear l ui the Devil's Pulpit, than which a more improper publication could not exist. He eionsider ed the sentiments of the Hon. Member for Middlesex could only be consistent with the views of shore who looked upon religion and blas phemy in the saute light, and he, trusted he should never see thit. - ae views advocated by any man who %tithed well to his country. Mr. - O'CONNELL—Though no man disagreed more than he did with the sentiments of Mr. Taylor, he would supp or t the prayer of the petition. He deprecated all re ligions prosecutions, considering that if the principle laid down by the lion. Member for Dundalk and Durham was to prevail, the luquiaition would soon be revived in this country. The speech of the Hon. Member for Dundalk would doubtless operate as an advertisement for the sale a Mr. Taylor's work which nobody had ever • heard of before, and would be the means of extending the blasphemy of which he so much complained. Mr. DENISON, after the charge that had been made ags.itiat the Magistrates of Surrey, could net refrain from making a few observations. He denied that Mr. Taylor was imprisoned in so solitary a cell as had been referred to. Ilia room was IS, feet by 24, and he had every comfort that a man could be allowed, except wine and spirits. If his sentence had been too severe, and he ge, , et) no opinion about it, if the rules of the gaol were too severe, there were means of correcting that, and he trneeecithose gentlemen whose business it was to lay dews rules for its regulatioa would, during the present resew, apply themselves to that desirable object. Eye.l since he had sat in, that House he had always avoiesect acting as a Magistrate, thinking it inconsisteiet to make and administer the laws. kir. BRISCOE agreed that no man ought to be punished for uttering expression& in a private room on any subject, but that veil not the cage in the present instance. The roost in which, Taylor appeared was a large and public room, into which persons were admitted on payment of rid. or Is. for the advertised object of bearing a lretnre ou astronomy, 'Tesler was there in the garb of an Archbishop, w i t h a cros s hanging before him, and turning the Scriptures into ridicule. He (Mr. Briscoe) never could be brought to sanction such foolery—such mockery. At the same time he could not approve of the prison treatment he bad beau subject to. Another person had c0irint.;,,..,4 .-
