Prayers were read by the Bishop of CHESTER, after which the LORD CHANCELLOR went on with. the proceedings in the great Thelluson case, on which, t h e who l e of the Ju d ges b e i ng in the House, the Lord Chief B aron (Alexander) del i vere d hi s opinion in part, and inclined to t h e J udgment which was pro nounced in the Court of Chancery. , Lords Middleton, Abergavenny, at d L au d er dal e were the Appellate Peers. Counsel were now called in. on the appeal of " Newburgh V. Newburgh," in which Mr. Heald argued on behalf of the Ap pellabt, and Mr. Hart was heard for the Respondent, when the further hearing was adjourned. At four o'clock the Lord Chancellor left the House, during pleasure, which resumed at five ; at which hour their Royal Highnesset the Dukes of York, Sussex, and Gloucester were present and an unusually full attendance of Peers. PETITHJNS. Lord ROLLE presented five petitions from parishes in De vonshire, praying that their Lordships would dismisa the Ro man Catholic Claims. Lord KING referred to a petition which had twit presented on a former day, from Sidmouth, by the Noble -Lord opposite, who then took occasion to animadvert on a gentleman front Ire land, formerly a Member for Waterford. It would appear; from the representations in the Newspapers, that the Noble Lord stated that gentleman to have fled from Ireland to this country, where he made a strange return for the hospitality he experienced f rom t h e North Devon Militia, by sounding the trumpet of strife among them. Lord ROLLE considered that he was not answerable for the statements of Newspapers in any sense ;—(Cries of Hear !) and, at all events, this statement in particular, which the Noble Lord called up now, was not authorised by him. With respect to the allusion, it could not be correct, as he knew that the Hon. Gentleman had not fled, because he served in Ireland long after the rebellion. What he observed was, that this Gentleman had acted wrong by stirring up discord where he was received with so much cordiality. He certainly thought it wrong in his endeavouring to create division there, The Earl of LIMERICK had dose all he possibly could to dissuade both parties from petitioning at all, and, in point of fact, the Gentleman in question would have given way, pro. vided the Noble Lord opposite would have yielded in turn. Questions like these were sometimes better left to the sense of Parliament. It ,was indiscreet and improper, no doubt, for any one to . pass over from one country to another for the sake of stirring up discord—an imputation which, •he was sa tisfied, could never be attached to the Gentleman who was al luded to. Lord ROLLE observed. that the petition he presented was signed by 444 names, but the counter-petition had no more than N names subscribed to it. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a petition from the parish of Kingley, two petitions from places in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and petitions from Tamworth and Wellinborough, praying that no further concessions might be granted to the Roman Catholics. EDMONTON PETITIONERS, His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK stated, that he con. sidered it his daty to prt-.sent to their Lordships a petition, which had lately been forwarded to him, from the Minister, Church. wardens, and Inhabitants of the parish of Edmonton, in the county of Middlesex, whose petition it was, that their Lord ships would refuse to entertain the Roman Catholic Claim 4. He was informed that the. petition was numerously and re spectably signed. The prayer of the petition was one, at all events, in which he cordially, heartily, and most sincerely join ed.—( Hear The Bishop of EXETERpresented twopetitions, to the same effect, from parishes in Cornwall. The Earl of MANSFIELD presented It similar petition from the city of Perth. The Earl of WARWICK presented a petition from the town of Birmingham, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill. , The Bishop ofSt. D Vi LYS presented petitions-from parishes in Glatnorganshire and Radnorshire, and also from the Rural Deanery of the latter County, against the Roman Catholic Bill. About this time there prevailed so much talking in th e H ome , that the. Earl of LAUDERDALE thought proper to call their -. • . Lordships to order. Viscount DUDLEY and WARD presented a petition from the Manufacturers and other inhabitants of Trowbridge, in Wiltshire, in favour of the Equitable Loan EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY. The EARL of LAUDERDALE said, that as their Lord ships had .just received a petition in favour of the Company's Bill, and as some of the inmates of the different prisons had pe titioned their Lordships in the same style; it might be useful to observe, that persons of the latter description were not all of the same opinion. Asa proof of this, hehad to present to their Lordships a petition from certain inmates of the Fleet Prison 4 who prayed that the Equitable Loan Bill might not pass into a law. Lord DA CRE here wished to know whether his Noble Friend Would allow him to move the second reading of the Equitable Loan Bank Company Bill. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, in reply, said, he had al. ready .hewn their Lordships, 'that the present Bill would not Only go to supersede the business of Pawnbroking, bnt insure a monopoly in the lending of money at the rate of b per cent. in terestethough the object of the Company was charity to all men. In the same manner the measure would supersede Auctioneers. Brokers, and other traders ; and he could assure their Lord ships, that his only object in resisting the present Bill, was an anxious desire to do justice to the public at large. Since he came into the House, however, he had been informed, that an officer from the Company was waiting at the door of the House, ready to lay additional information before their Lordships, which there could be no objection to receive at the Bar. • But, under all the circumstances, he felt much disinclined to consent to the second reading of the Bill at the present time. Lord DACRE laid considerable stress on the sufficiency of the papers now before the House. He admitted, that the docu ment of the Eth of Nov. last was not.among them, as there was no authority for it. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE had never said that the Paper in question was issued by the authority of the Directors of the Company. But he wished their Lordships to be informed what were the expectations that the Company held out. Lord SUFFIELD here observed, that the Equitable Loan Company had never come before the public as merely a chari table institution ; their great object was to counteract the extor tions of pawnbrokers, and, in return, to reap an equitable inte rest for the capital so employed by them. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was proceeding, when The Earl of RADNOR wished to know _what was the ques. tion before the House. The Earl of LAUDERDALE s till continued to remark on the newly proposed companie s . It was contended, he observed, that the Equitable Loan Company was to do away with the ex tortion of tile pawnbrokers. As well might the Metropolitan Fish Company be proposed for lowering the price of fish, the Gas Companies for reducing the priceof candles, and the Steam Washing Company to reduce the charges of washerwonaen. The Earl of RADNOR here observed, that such companies had nothing to do with the question before the !louse. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was afraid that the present Bill would make a monopoly, instead of destroying one. The Puke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from the Corporation of Norwich against the Catholic Claims. The Earl of L AUDERDALE presented petitions from the inmates of the King's Bench Prison, and also from the inhabi tants of Manchester and Salford, against the Equitable Loan Bill. CATHOLIC PETITIONS. The Bishop of 'NORWICH, in presenting a petition f ro m. some Clergymen in the county of Norfolk, took occasion to re gret that so many:petitions had proCeeded from the Established Clergy, requesting. their Lordships to withhold from five roil. lions of their Catholic fellow subjects those civil rights-which they . were entitled to, because they.could not agree in matte rs o f religious faith.. There were, however, a number of Clergymen in the county of Norfolk who, though equally anxious with. their more zealous brethren for the welfare of the Established Church entertained inorelib.eral views respecting those whodifFered from them. .Such was the character of the petition he had now to present to the House, signed by a number of Cl ergymen, with the. Archdeacon of Norwich at their head who - thou g h t t h at Concessions to their Catholic brethren would best conduce to the prosperity and stability of the empire.— Petition read'and laid upon the table. ' •• The Marquis of . liANSDOWN p res ented a isetition i n fa your of Catholic Emancipation from the whole Protestant inte rest in the county of Kerry, in Ireland. it was sign e d b y every 5.30,1.100 for £l9 19s.

PROSPECTUS. Though the advantages that must be derived from the erec tion of a Suspension bridge over the Tyne from North to South Shields, both in a local and national point of view, are ob vious, a few of the most important may be thus enumerated : The population of North Shields and Tynemouth, and the population of South Shields and Westoe, form a total of 50,000 inhabitants, exceeding any town on the great North Road. between London and Edinburgh; but the river is a great obstacle to general intercourse. in passing, or convey ne- - goods across the river at Shields by boats, it must be acknowledged that the risk, at all times great, has en'rendered more su of late by the increase of traf fic, and the rapid movements of the numerous steam vessels, which greatly .endanger the lives of persons crossing, of which there are innumerable ,instances. Toe Bridge would remedy the evil, and the large pope ation of both towns, now divided, would derive incalculable advanteges from the Union. North Shields would then: be within 7 miles of Sunderland, though at present any person trace Ding post between ,ho ;e towns, will find the distance to be.nearly 2te milei ; and tee I.ne of corn. munication between saaderlatal aed South shields with Mnr peth, the 'great mart for cattle, would be considerably shortened. Sunderland is 27 miles - from alorpeto by Newcastle, at present the only road, but by way of North Shields, where there is now an excellent turnpike, the distance would be reduced to 23 miles. The distance from South Shields to Morpetti, through Newcastle, is 26 miles, but by North Shields it would not exceed 17 miles of good and level turnpike-road. In each case, the hills and pavement, from the Barras Bridge at New castle to the head of Gateshead (an inconvenience much com plained of; and which does more iujury to cattle than driving them 6 or 7 miles upon an ordinary turnpike) would be avoid ed, and the expence and delay of keeping the cattle upon the road (no trifling consideration) would be saved. The Resident in North Shields would have a conveyance from Iris own door directly southward, whilst those of South Shields and Sunderland would Lind a similar advantage in pro ceeding northward. The increasing populous towns of Blyth and Hartley, (of great consequence from their connection with collieries which are multiplying in their neighbourhood) the former distant from North Shields ten miles, the latter six miles, both situated on the sea coast, will receive the greatest benefit from the Bridge in their communication with the south, through sea port towns with which they. have considerable and important intercourse ; and they will'aleo partake of the general improve. relent of North and Som.!' Shields. The persons interested in Sunderland Bridge and in the roads from South Shields to Durham and Stockton, from North Shields to Newcaetle, and front Shields to Morpeth, must reap great advantage from the increase of passage whi c h t h e bridge will promote. The project will bear consideration not only as a mere matter of local importance, but in a national point of view, as rega r d s t h e advantage Government will derive from the facility which will be given to the passage of troopi, ordnance, and Stores f r om North to South Shields. Tynemouth Castle has been long used as a depot for military stores ; but the want of a ready communication , with the southern bank of, the river, was coo. stautly felt during the late war, when a bridge of barges and flat bottomed boats was constructed at enormous expence to little purpose. It is understood-that the distance from North Shields to Edin burgh, by a coast road, is shorter than from Newcastle to that city, by live or six miles, and by a mare level road; and that a saving of six or seven miles Can be niade in the distance front York to South Shields. It follows, then that, by a Bridge over the Tyne at Shields, the distance is shortened, between York and Edinburgh, twelve or thirteen miles, which will deserve the attention and support of his Lordship the Postmaster General An alteration is about to be made in the running of the mail, to pass from Sunderland to Newcastle, missing South Shields ; yet . it is certain this measure, so serious an evil to the inhabitants, is only resorted to for want of the projected Bridge. . It is needl e ss to co mment on the advantages which will result to individuals whose estates are in the immediate vicinity of the Bridge, or the eastern parts of Durham and Northumber pilopyofloaltiloown , an f Title th f e ac . e i land. The establishment of a good market at Shields must necessarily ii n t c y re o a f e g e o d pp d l e y m . and of the large Though the great benefit theancient - and commercial town of Newcastle, the capital- of the North, from the must derive d prosperity of Shields has not been stated as one of the a van tages to be calculated upon from the Suspension Bridge, in ought not to be overlooked, of trade is considered which must when the great increase must accrue from the proposed rail-road to Carlisle. Capt. Brown undertakes that th erec tions shall not . exceed 93,000/ e cost of th e B r id ge and by a capital of 100,000 i, in sharerw lnch is t o b e prov ided for of one hundred pounds each. It only, therefo re , remains to satisfy tire Capitalist that he will receive a remunerati ng ev ery prospect. The tolls are esZaitnetrest, of which there is i nter course between the two towns and adjacent present existing ver y moderate calculation, to prod uce 6,oool. eacent country, at a a n immense increase may be fairly contemplated per ers soon as the annum;though Bridge is opened. Indeed there can be no doubt, independent of all the intercourse of the :district, th at this _ consider able thoroughfare thuor f embrace r thetheir opportunit f Bridges of Sunderland and Shields, the latter y o crossing the one of the noblest works in the kingdom_ promising to be Lastly, The advantages:to be derived are not, ' e present day, fallacious • as in most of the projects of-th _ acious or visionary • there can be no deception,. as the benefits, both public and • mate inplated and appreciated by every Wising local be conte one posseesing local knowledge. _ r Subscription i lh , 7 , are le_ t at the banks in N ewcast l e, Shields, Sunderland ; Dur r, , annloSneockton ; and with 111essre.

P Vf-r!T rt Protestant parish, town, and almOst etil the landholders of that county. fie had (the Noble Marquis said) many more such petitions to present to the , House, but should. etnly mov2 the reading of the present..—Read, and laid on the table of the House. The same Noble. Marquis presented a similar petition from the County of Limerick, which the. Earl.of LIMERICK said contained the names of the_great majority of that County, as to wealth anti respectability. A petition was presented hy the above Noble Marquis from five-sixths of the population of Queen's, County. in Iraand, in favour of the Catholic Claims. Earl GREY presented a petition from the Attornies_arid Barristers of Neweastle.upon.Tyne, which lie recommened td their Lordships, on -account of the:character and intelli- Cence of the petitioners, who also were in favour of the Catholic laims. The LORD CHANCELLOR, though be differed from the prayer of the petitioners, was willing to bear testimony to, their character and weight. Earl GREY presented another petition from the Roman Ca. tholics of the town and neighbourhood of Blackburn, in the County Palatine-of Lancaster, in favour of the Catholiolteliel Bill. He expressed his •opinion while presenting this last, peti tion, that the Catholic Claims could-not be deferred to another Session, without danger to the country. . • - Lord fi 0 LLANDliresented *Petition &um rks 0)4:jolt Cor poration of the town and county of Nottingham, ,of which he had the honour of being Recorder, who prayed-their Lordships to entertain the Catholic Relief Bill it would be recollected that the people of Nottingham had always been distinguished for their zeal in favour of civil and religious: liberty. They were now persuaded that restrictions on the Roman Catholics- were no longer necessary, and, therefore, they petitioned in favour of the pending 13111.. The same Noble Baron then presented two- similar petitions —one from the Unitarians of Brighton, and another from the Protestant Dissenters, - meeting in Sonth.place, Finsbury. The ,Earl of FORTESCUE presented a petition from the Inhabitants of Kingsbridge, praying for the more speedy reco. very of Small Debts. • The Earl of DONOUGHMORE presented a petition from the Landholders of the County of Cork, praying for relief by pecuniary loans.
