Lord Eldon, to do him justice, made the most of the alterations by the Commons in the Irish Disturbances Bill. He, of course, lamented the necessity, the hard necessity, in which he had been placed by voting, on the responsibility of Ministers, the suspension of one of the most import ant parts of the constitution, the trial by jury. Such a measure could be justified only by necessity, and if the necessity did not exist, the rule of justification was applied to a state of circumstances that did not war rant it. If the necessity did not exist, why, then,were his I aj esty 's subjects deprived of trial by jury, and subjected to trial by courtsmartial ? If the neces sity which justified the bringing in of the measure continued to exit, why were the subjects of his Majesty in Ireland to be now tried by juries who were destined to be tried by courtsmar tial six weeks ago ? His Lordship then artfully appealed to the pride of the House, which, he con tended, Earl Grey was lowering in the estimation of the country; and he observed that the country papers now said with regard to this measure—" No matter what the House of Lords say, or what the opinion of the House of Lords is, we will go to the House of Commons and get all that altered."— " To pledge (said his Lordship) that House to measures, and then in this way to abandon them without any apparent reason whatever, was to do that which must tend to the destruction of that House and the constitution." Lord Eldon is the same sly fox that he always was. He would fain bring the two Houses into collision, which would no doubt embarrass Ministers; but cunning is not al ways wisdom, and his Lordship might be no gainer in the end by setting the two Houses by the ears. Earl Grey observed, that " the other House of. Parliament had an undoubted right to make what alterations in the Bill they thought proper. For these alterations he was not responsible. He ad mitted that he wished some of them had not been made. But when the Bill came back with these alterations, it was for their Lordships to consider whe ther it was not still sufficient for its purpose." " And even (added his Lordship) if they consi dered the alterations objectionable—yet not so objec tionable as to warrant risking the loss or the delay of the Bill —they would then pay a proper deference to the other branch of the Legislature, as well as do their duty to the public, by agreeing to the alterations." Lord Melbourne asked if a Bill of severity of this kind was ever known to go through both Houses of Parliament, without receiving material modification? and he particularly instanced the Bills of 179-1 and the Six Acts, of which last, that which related to meetings received die material alteration, that its operation was confined to meetings in the open air. The amendment to which the greatest objection was made, and on which the House divided, was the pro vision respecting tithes, introduced into the fourth clause. The Lord Chancellor observed, that " how ever reluctant he himself might have been to origi nate the amendment objected to, yet he was far from thinking that the Bill was thereby rendered inefficacious. He must say, however, that with all due respect for the other House, he could not at all discover any just or satisfactory reason for this amendment. It would be absolutely and utterly in operative. It could not, by any possibility, produce the result he supposed it aimed at, of crippling the powers of the clause, or save any wrong-doers from ,a particular mode of punishment. Besides, the provision in the clause was utterly inconsistent with the clause itself. The clause did not give any power of proclaiming a district, unless it were really in a state of disturbance; yet the provision set forth, that if any act of insubordination did prevail in a district, it shall not be law ful to declare the district merely on account of a peaceable opposition to p a y tithes. A peaceable opposition to tithes Why, they might as well say, that no proceedings should be taken upon a peaceable resistance to pay the King's taxes ; or if any persons attempted, in a peaceable way, to withhold the payment of their radesrren's bills, or any thing else." The Bishop of London tried hard to have the amendment struck our. Earl Grey entreated the House not to believe that the rejection would lead to a delay of 24 hours only. The consequence of the rejection would be a conference between the two Houses; and it would be utterly impossible for them to get through the Bill before Easter, unless they sat after Good Friday. Lord Harrowby endeavoured to parry this home thrust. He would rather consent to pass the Bill than cause any great delay. But his objection to the proviso, as it at present stood, was, that it in sulated tithes and church property, and placed it on a footing different from that of other property. In order to deprive it of this singularity, he would move the addition of the words, " rent or taxes," to be inserted after the word tithes. Lord Mel bourne here met the Noble Lords on their own ground. " If (said his Lordship) it really were the opinion of the Noble Lords opposite that the ex ception of tithes would create an opinion that tithes ought not to be paid, the addition of the words rent and taxes' would only have the effect of ex tending that impression to them." On a division the numbers were—For the amendment, 45; against it, 85.—The proxies being 39 to 5. Thus, then, the 8,11, with its amendments, has passed the ordeal of the House, arid will soon become the law of the land.—)Vforazing Chronicle. The passing of the Irish Disturbances Bill from the House of Commons to the House of Lords, where we have every reason to believe that it wilt be adopted without further amendment or alteration, is, we trust, the signal for the commencement of the real business of the session, and for the considera tion of those numerous and important questions of national policy which have so long and so vainly called for attention from the Government. As one of these measure,, the refot m of the church of Ire land is not the least important, and justly claims our first attention, because resolutions for the framing and bringing in of a Bill to . accomplish that great object will this evening be moved in the House of Commons by Lord Althorp. The contents of the intended Bill we have more than once described, and it is not, in consequence, necessary for us to say more in relation to it than that it is unobjectionable as a safe measure of Reform, and can incur the indignation and opposition of two parties only—the first, that of those who think that the measure does not go far enough ; and the second, that of those who hold all interference with the tem poralities of the church to be unlawful, and who would rather that the whole edifice should crumble into ruins than one rotten rafter should be removed, in order to make way for sounder timber. We confess we are among the former. We grant the intended Bill to be a great improvement, but we also think that it does not go to the root of the evil, and that Ireland will not have fair and full ju-tice done to her in this matter until the system of tithes has been comple•ely abolished, and the church of England in Ireland, like every dissenting chinch, been made to maintain her own clergy, and to build and repair her own churches. But there is a great difference between what ought to be done and whet can be done—between what right dictates and might can accomplish ; and on this ground we cheerfully give our support to a measure which, had there been any likelihood of its being curried, we could have wished to have been by far more searching and ra dical in its operation. It is well known, however, that the measure, moderate as it is, will be stoutly contested by the Tories in the Commons, and that it runs no small risk of being rejected by the Upper House. Upon what principle, however, or upon what ground, it is to be opposed, we are really at a, loss to conceive. It is not an interference with the rites or doctrines of the church, and does not, in con sequence, deprive the clergy of what it is their pe culiar province to manage—it is as affair of pure temporality, and being almost entirely of a prospective nature, does injury to no one who is at the present mo ment a member of the chinch of Ireland. Nothing, in fact, could have been framed with a greaterregard to existing rights than the present Bill; while, with regard to the future, who does not see in every account elm we receive from Ireland, the necessity of placing the church on a different footing from that on which it has so long existed—of cutting down its immense, unwieldy, and unnecessary, clerical staff—of uniting its poorer livings, where they can be united with utility—and of dividing many of those unions which have been formed for no other purpose than that of putting more money into the pockets of some over fed parsons than they are able to render service for in return ? Have not the tithes during the last twelve months been collected at the point of the bayonet, and has it not become a matter of moral certainty that the only mode by which even a wreck of the church can be saved is by cutting off, without mercy, the unsound parts of its constitution? The blindest are those who will not see; and the most blind friends of the church are those who will" attempt any resistance to a measure which, instead of being meant to despoil her, or shear her of her beams, is intended to renovate and invigorate her debilitated constitution. The character of its authors is the best proof of the former—the hatred in which the church is held by all, except those who profit by its abuses, of the other. Let them oppose the measure, however, if they be inclined, and we shall see what will be the result. The time was when if. they had raised the cry of the church being in danger, they might have overthrown the Ministry which had had the hardihood to interfere even with its temporalities; but that time, thank Heaven, is now, and for ever, fairly gone by. " Tne church in danger" will now raise no lions in her defence, though the cry may give the signal for attack to her enemies. The people know the difference between religion and the temporal arrangements for incul cating its precepts upon their minds, and charm how wisely they may, the supporters of abuses will never be able to charm them into a belief that a Reform in the one is meant for the overthrow of the former. How applicable to the latter the exclamation of the Roman poet— " 0 fortunati, bona si sua norint :" —Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday Byers was again brought up, and several merchants and bankers, who have bren forged upon, at tended the examination, which excited considerable sur ise, and caused much laughter. A Solicitor, for the house of Messrs. Parkes and Co., hop-merchants, stated that the prisoner bad pursued and succeeded in a most extraordinary and audacious system of plunder. Ihe prisoner called some time ago at the house of Parkes and Co., procured samples of hops, and purchased to the amount of about 115/. The prisoner gave his address at the Sussex Hotel, and called again in the evening, when the invoice was ready, and tendered a check on Jones, Loyd, and Co., in the name of William Strong, for the sum of 150/. The clerk looked at the check, believed it to be genuine, and gave a check on Bar clay for 34/. 18s. W., the difference between the invoice and the ch ek for 1501. Next morning the check on Jones, Loyd, anti Co. was pronounced to be a forgery, and pa} nent of the check on Barclay -was stopp,d. The prisoner, however, went down to Gravesend and purchased 41. worth of haberdashery, and got the latt. r check cashed. The house was of course obliged to pay it. It was the intention of the firm, under the circumst tnces, to prosecute for the fraud. Mr. T. H. Farmer, of No. 79, High-street, in the bo rough, stated that on the 28th of September the prisoner called on him to pay for a quantity of hops. The invoice amounted to 1791. ss. Sd., anti the pris. , ner handed him a check on Jones, Loyd, and Co., for 2501., having pre viously, however, struggled hat d to vet the 5.. 8,1. struck off.—(A laugh.) Witness struck off the 5s Sd., and gage a check upon Weston and Co., for 111., the diffe rence. Soon after the prisoner had gone, however, wit ness reflected that he had acted rather incautiously in giving his check to a stranger, and he determined to stop payment of it, and to send to Jones, Loyd. and Co., to ascertain whether there was not some swindling in the afftir. As he was waiting in the back-room at Weston's banking-house, who should pop in his head but the prisoner to get the amount of the check, but the moment the fellow saw him (witness) off he started, and witness never had seen him since until he was brought before the Lord Mayor. The LORI) 111Avoa—I suppose you have never seen your cheek since? Witness—Never. I advertised the circumstanc e very extensively, and think that I shall htar no more of it. The Lout) MAYOR having inquired when the first forgery took place, was told, very much to his surprise, that one of the cases immediately followed the other on the same day. Mr. George Kilby, a c'erk of Messrs. Jones and Loyd, upon receiving both the checks, uttered by•the prisoner, pronounced cheat forgeries, and wrote the words " drawn by a swindler" on them. Tire LORD MAYOR—Have•}ou received many of this kind of checks? Witness—Upwards of 70 ; we detected them all. The Loan AlAvoa—l have received positive informa tion that the pri-oner is certainly one of the most expert depredators in the wholesale way in the country. The police have been after him these three years, but we have caught him at last, and his career is at an ,nd. These are the plunderers I am anxious to get hold of—these wholesale robbers, who do more mischief in one day than an ordinary pickpocket. can do during his whole life. I have impres,ed upon the police the necessity of watching the swindlers with whom the city abounds, and I so lemnly declare that I shall be unremitting in my exertions to root them all out ; yet the punishment will be no greater than that of a boy who is convic ed of stealing a pocket-handkerchief, value Is. I don't know what to call that sort of arrangement which adapts punishment to of fences in so absurd a way. Mr. Bush produced a letter from Calais, describing a series of impositions practised by the prisoner there. Air. Flower said that such a course as was pursued on this occasio❑ was calculated merely to prejudice the case of his client. The LORD MAYOR....It would be a pity to prejudice such a cure. IC would be most unmerciful to excite any feeling of indignation against such a wholesale and un equalled robber.—(Laughter.) Air. Bush stated that the prisoner had negotiated for his passage to another country with the captain of a packet, and contrived to levy contributions upon the unsuspecting seamen. AIN Francis Place, of Charing-cross, tailor, stated tha! in June, 1832, the prisoner ordered some clothes, and gave as his address " Mr. Clinton, Salopian Coffee house," stating, at the same time, that he would pay ready money. The amount of the bill for the clothes was 131., and the prisumr asked him whether he had change for a 201. note. Witness replied the affirmative, and pro duce, seven sovereigns, which the prisoner took up, and at the same time produced a check upon Jones, Loyd, and Co., for 201., purporting to be drawn by Angustu. Etp-rton and Son. Witness was much disappointed at seeing the check instead of the bank-note, and certainly would not have parted with his sovereigns but that th, prisoner bad them in his band and witness had tl e check in his.—(Laughter.) The prisoner was not long gon when witness started off in a cal; to Jones, Loyd, and Co. to get the check cashed.(Lud laughter, in which Mr. j Place oine , t)—aud upon boding that his cast, mer was a swindler, drove ;.aek as fast as possible to the Salopian. The LORD MAI-on—Ay, ay ; then I suppose, as you move such has e back, that you found him?—(Laughter.) Wiiness—No ; be bad just taken his departure. Toe piisoner was remanded till Thursday. At the assizes at Lancaster, the case of the Clithero riots (Rita v. GREENHALCH and others) came on fur trial, when, atter d protra.-tect investigation, that lasted fur two diys, a verdict of Nut Guilty was returned opium all the prisoners. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 1. At five o'clock the SPEAKER again took his seat. A person from his Majesty's Mint appeared at the Bar with-an account of all gold and silver coined in that esta blishment. MONTGOMERY ,ELECTION. Mr. FINN brought up the report of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the merits of the petition against the return for the borough of Montgomery, which declared that the sitting Member, D. Pugh, Esq., was not duly elected, and that the petition and the opposition to it were not frivolous or vexatious. A new writ was ordered to issue for that borough, in lieu of Mr. Pugh. EASTER HOLYDAYS. LGrtl ALTHORP wished to state that he believed he should be able to move an adjournment of the House on Wednesday instead of Thursday, the day for which he had already given notice. He thought it was possible the House would be able to get through that business which pressed most heavily upon it by Wednesday, but it greatly depend ed upon whether any objection would be taken in another plate to the amendments in the Irish Disturbances Bill.—(Hear.) If any alterations were made, it would be necessary for the House to sit on Thursday, otherwise he should move the adjournment on Wednesday. With re• gard to the period to which the House should adjourn, he iAd the c-21!er night proposed so short a one, that he was afraid it did not meet the wishes of the House, and be should be very glad to consult those wishes as far as he could consistently with his public duty.--(Hear.) Mr. WILKS could assure the Noble Lord that if the House were adjourned only to Wednesday week there would be a very small attendance on that day. He would suggest an adjournment until the following Monday. Mr. PALMER. reminded the Nob'e Lord that the Quarter Sessions began on Tuesday, and it would be a great convenience to adjourn for a longer period. Mr. LITTLETON expressed himself to the same effect. Lord ALTHORP said, if such were the opinion of the House, he would, either on Wednesday or Thursday, as the case might be, propose the adjournment until the Monday week following. IRISH CHURCH REFORM. Lord ALTHORP moved that the order of the day for the House going into a Committee on the Church Tempo ralities (Ireland) Bill be now read. Mr. SHAW begged to be allowed, before the House went into a Committee, to present some petitions upon that subject. The first was a petition from the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese of Ossoi y ; the second from the diocese of Meath ; from the diocese ot Elphin ; from the diocese of Ross ; from the Dean and Chapter of Kilkenny ; from the parish of St. George, in the city ot Dublin ; and from a parish in the county of Cork—all against the proposed Irish Church Reform. LIVERPOOL ELECTION. Mr. 13ANNERMAN, the Chairman to the Committee appointed to inquire into the bribery and corruption at the last Liverpool election, brought up the followingreport " That cases of bribery and corruption have been proved at the late election for Liverpool; but that such cases do not ap pear to have been with the authority of the candidates, or to have been pursued systematically or extensively." Sir JOHN TYRRELL gave notice that to-morrow lie would submit a question to a member of his Majesty's Government, respecting an assertion that was made the other night by an Hon. Member, that the Noble Lord in question had communicated with a Political Union, which that Noble Lord had denied.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member was prepared to re-assert what he then stated, and he (Sir John Tynell) would to-morrow put a question to the Noble Lord upon it. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE wished to put a question7to the Noble Lord relative to the oath taken by Roman Catholic Members, which had been brought for ward and discussed in the last Parliament by the Right Honourable Gentleman, then Secretary for Ireland. During that discussion, they had declarations from two Hon. Members, which reflected the highest credit upon them. Those declarations had proceeded from the Hon. Member fur Cork, and Lord Killeen. Those Hon. Mein. hers stated that they deemed themselves bound to abstain from any discussion on the question. He had considered it his du y to bring the present subj.-et forward in conse quence of the extraordinary statements made by the Hon. Member opposite, that among the many evils that Ireland laboured under, the Established Church was among the for, m• st, and that Hon. Member bad counselled the total destruction of that church. The Hon. Member for the Tower Hamlets had spoken on that question he was now en leavourine to bring before the House, and he (Mr. Johnstone) had hoped the matter would have been settled by the House at that time, but in consequence of the Hon. Member fur Dublin having taken it up, the dis cussion on the subject was put an end to. On that evening the Honourable Member for Dublin had propounded a most extraordinary doctrine, which went so far as to say, that if the measure had not the effect of putting an end to the Irish church, he would discuss every question raised on the Bill, with respect to the reform of the church of Ireland. The Hon. Member fur Tipperary hail given notice, that on going into Com mittee on that Bill, he should move that any surplus that might be found in the revenues of the church of Ireland should be applied to the purposes of the State. In consequence of that notice be had deemed it his duty, however painful, to bring the matter before the House. When the terms of the oath were looked at, it would he found to run something to the following effect : That no Roman Catholic would interfere or exercise any privilege to weaken the Protestant Religion or Government of the United Kingdom. On the latter part of that oath he rested the strength of the case which he had brought before the House. He did not intend to take up the question as a matter of conscience, because it would be almost impossible for him to say what course Hon. Members might think proper to take according to their consciences. He begged leave to consider it as the contract entered into by lion. Members who professed the Catholic faith on the one band, and by those Members of the House who professed the Protestant faith on the other. For that purpose lie must allude to the de clarations of the council of the Catholic church, that that oath was not to be kept.—(Cries of " No, no," from Mr. O'Connell.) Well, that was a matter easy enough to be determined ; but by another act of Council it was provided that all oaths taken, contrary to the interests of the Roman Catholic church, should be deemed not to be oaths.—(Cries of "No, no, " from Mr. O'Connell.) Whether it was so or not, he understood oat lion. Members of the Catholic persuasion might get dis pensation hoar any oaths they might take front the Pepe. They had entered into a solemn compact with the Protes tant Members of that House, and they ssreie bound to keep their pa r t o f it, j us t as tae Protestants were bound by their part of it. The Protestant part of the country had admitted Roman Catholics to seats in that House, but on the solemn coaditiou of that oa h which they were bound to observe in its true and obvious mean ing, without any mental reservation whatever. He was ex ceedingly sorry that it had fallen to him to mention the subject, he being so inadequate to discharge the solemn duty: If that was not the proper time to mention tile question, he would take another opportunity of bringing it before the House, but it humbly ap peared to him, that, if there ever was a time when they should have the question settled, it was the present moment. They were about to take into consideration matters of vast importance, the principles of which went in a great degree to affect the stability and iuture welfare of the Protestant establishment; and although he had not consulted on the question with any other Member—indeed he did not know who would second his pioposition, lie should conclude by moving that the oath contained in the Catholic Relief Bill be read. The motion bring seconded, the Clerk read the oath. Mr. O'CONNELL rose for the purpose of rebutting the ridiculous c,lumnies which had just been ad vanced—( Hear, hear)—and which, although they ttad very often been repeated, had as ofte❑ b ee n scow ed with thrision by all who bad feelings of a kindly nature, and who were real Christians. Roman Claim ics came there as subjects of this realm demanding their seats. Tory had attained them after an arduous struggle — (Hear, hear)—and they had entered into no com pact, as stated by the lion. Member. They looked for equality, they would ❑ot presume to look for more, but they would not take ) It was stated that the Council of Constance had passed a decree chat faith uas not to be kept with heretics—that was an historical blunder a thousand times defeated—no soca de claration in Council had ever been made, and had it been made, no conscientious Catholic could have paid any at• tention to it, because no Council could declare that that (PRICE 7D.) was binding which in itself was immoral. The Hon. Member Ii id talked of a dispensation for oaths. Any one who knew Roman Catholics at all knew the utter impossibility of their dispensing with any oaths, obligations, or con tracts with a third person. The doctrine of Catholics, and of every reasonable Protestant, on the subject of oaths, was identical. Rut, after all, what had kept Roman Catholics out of that House so long ?—(Hear.) Nothing but the respect for an oath—(Cries of " Hear")—and surely if there could have been any dispensation obtained for breaking an oath it would have been on the case of that oath which shut them out from political power.—(Hear, hear.) He could show the Honourable Member a passage in which John Knox said that faith should not be kept with Papists, but he defied him to prove, by any Catholic writer, the calumniating assertions which he had thrown out, and which had so frequently been refuted in that House. Mr. C. FERGUSSON disclaimed participating in the bnoxisus d.ctrines which had been attributed to the Catholic illembers of that House. Mr. SHAW did not think that this was the proper time for the present discussion. Lord ALTHORP said, that the Roman Catholic Mem bers, according to the clear intention, had an equal right with the others to vote on all subjects relating to the Protestant Church. Dr. LUSHINGTON said that, in consequence what had been stated some time ago and repeated this night by his Hon. Friend near him, he thought it right to dear up a misunderstanding which had taken place. It was true that in the heat of an argument he had been tempted to read the oath which the Roman Catholics took upon their ad mission into that House, but be had not done that with the slightest degree, intent, or purport whatever for having it supposed be had conceded that any Roman Catholic Member was under any restric tion front entering into any discussion respecting the Church of England or Ireland, and giving his vote just as he pleased, but for the purpose of show ing that the obligation which was imposed on all Protestant Members respecting the Constitution of the country, had been imposed on the Roman Catholic Mem bers when they entered the House, and for no other reason. He would have given this explanation on an earlier day, but at the time he intended to do s), the Hon. and Learned Member for the city of Dublin rose, and made a littie iwerlude of a speech upon some point or other, which lasted only two hours—(Hear, hear, and laughter) —and which rendered it then too late for him to enter upon it. Mr. JOHNSTONE begged leave to make a few obser vations in reply to what had now been stated. Mr. SPEAKER said the Hon. Member had no reply : if he spoke at all he must strictly confine himself to expla nation. Mr. JOHNSTONE had no intention, in what he stated, to have been uncourteous to any Member of that House. He had not a seat in the House at the time the Roman Catholic Bill passed, and he therefore could only read the arguments which he had seen, consider the point as be had done, and come to the best conclusion he could upon it, and which was in opposition.—(Here the cries of " Chair," were so universal as to cause the Hon. Member to sit down.) c - 4 -/ii. -- _ ..): • - iishops' tenants . This statement sho that the income of the clergy was much exaggerated...._ (Heat, h ear .) Next he would advert to the average income of the beneficed clergy of the established church. The state ment of the Noble Lord was, that it amounted altogether to 580,0001. or 600,000/. ; he would take the larger b ap en pe efi a ce red d b c y le t r h g e y re in tur i n r s e , la t n h d at w th a e s swatitjt,,ileof number6oo, O 00 0 1. f t I, l e t I.4ol—he believed it was I,424—however, he would take the smaller number, and, dividing the whole income ,fasor, onlyuol le n dv4 g y2a s itmBtg,.hmeat amount yte , emt oa i t : would Thusb be found the income e ll e th e o f each bene6 w e e a rl s amongst t hem , c u et d y i f wi roo g o m3 u 6 l e d s u tl :b . a e e a t e y e' e only ar tithes i f . 4 a 2 T i B t ph / re . e w b t ne e i y r nu e e er n a fi r eoe each.equally But b y a Bill brought in last session, the landlords were empow -I:i..erkenrdegfiYtc:eddeecxdlecuri 63 a I n . d taking that from the o f 15 c l i :c r per g !e y rg y e e, cent. , and would reduce the income of the how ever, paid 662 curates, and supposing that the average of their incomes was thirty pounds each, it made a further reduction from the incomes of the beneficed clergy, so that it did not exceed three hundred and thirty-five pounds fur each beneficed clergyman. He knew that the church property was not divided in this way, but the dietrihutit n was a matter of regulation, and if equally divided, which silowed that the church was not extravagantly endowed, it would only amount to 3351. for each. Let pluralities Ire done away with, hut let not the property of the church be taken from the church. The House had been le.l astray by what bad been said of the great and enormons pluralities which existed in Ireland in the hinds of one Protestant clergyman. He wished to disabuse the House en that point. What was the fact ? Why, he knew one union of 17 parishes, which did not produce to the incum bent more than 2501. What was the cause of this? Why, a vast nnmber of the parishes that contri buted to form the unions, did not contribute to the remuneration of the clergyman, It had been found necessary to unite a great number of parishes toge ther, and they made a union enormous for its extent —enormous for the duties the clergymen had to perform —but not enormous for the remuneration which they gave to the clergyman. If his statement were correct— and he challenged contradiction—it was not consistent with justice to take anything from a church so mole lately endowed. Further—the property of the church was to be reduced by the commutation of tithes for land, one-fourth part. An additional 15 per cent. was to be given to the landlords, for taking upon themselves to levy the tithes. Twenty per cent. would be lost on the ex change of tithes for land, and 7 per cent. was the average ef the tax the Noble Lord proposed to levy on church property ; which altogether made 42 per cent. Ns hich was to be taken from church property. That was not suf ficient to enable the clergy to maintain their station in ti aciety. Why, he asked, should they take anything from the present incumbents? Why should the vested inter ests of the clergy be dealt with in a manner with which the House never before dealt with any of the vested interests uf the community? Was it because the clergy had not seats in Parliament? The justice of the House must re volt against such a proposition.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was said there was no principle in the resolutions; but did not the Noble Lord propose to abolish the vestry eess because it was disagreeable to the Catholics? That was a principle. Let them take care, there was a prin ciple in the resolutions, and if that principle were acted on towards the Catholics of Ireland, it would be impossible to , •efuse to act on it towards the Dissenters of England. However reluctant the Members of the Cabinet might be to face each other on the subject of church property, it would be much better than submit resolutions of this kind to come honestly and boldly forward at once, and submit tl.e question whether there should be a church establishment or not.—(Hear.) If the House thought there should be no church establishment, let them come to such a resolution ; but if it were still admitted that there ought to be a church establishment, let them not !

There were many lay impropriators in Ireland who did not pay a farthing to the service of the parish. Why should they be exonerated ? The Marquis of Drogheda was a lay impropristor of 28 parishes, containing 10,481 acres, and he did not pay one farthing towards the spititual duties of these parishes. Why should the Marquis of Drogheda be relieved at the expense of the clergy? The spiritual duties of these pa rishes were performed at the expense of the clergymen of the adjoining parish ; and why should the Marquis of Dro gheda, he again asked, put this tax into his pocket? There was an old statute which forbade this, and they ought to go back to the principle of that, and make the lay impropria tors provide for the spiritual wants of the people. The Hon Member adverted to three other lay impropriators z, one possessed of 6.886 acres, and the other of 9,6(17 ' ores, who paid nothing ; while the third, who possessed 15,000 acres, paid only 311. 4s. 3d. Why should that he ? Again; the Earl of Shannon, who had seven pa rishes of lay impropriations, contributed only 351. per year. Again; there were the great London Companies, who possessed much land in Ireland, who were, he ad., initted, as good landlords as absentee landlords could Yik, and why should they be relieved from payment of the vestry cess? They spent their incomes, he had no doubt, very joyously in London ; but why should they draw such large incomes, and now be enabled to draw larger, at the expense of the working clergy ? Why were ecclesiastical corporations the only corporations that were to he subject , (i the tax ; It was said in justification of this proceed. ing, that the church derived its property from an Act of Parliament. That he denied. Such an assertion was totally unfounded in history, fact, or law. The church of England owed all its property to original grants from private owners, or from the crown. It was neither just our right for the Legislature to divert that property to other purposes. It might as we'l say that some of the nobility of England had too much property for the general good, and it might as well set about taxing or reducing. that property.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He had hitherto; directed the House to the precedents which might be considered to apply to this case, but he would now pro c-ed to invite their attention for a few minutes to the expediency of pa-sing such a measure. The first result which might be anticipated was the direct dismissal of a large body of poor curates.—(Hear, hear.) It was utterly impossible that the Irish beneficed clergy, if such inroads were made on their incomes, could afford to maintain those meritorious clergymen who were so great an orna ment to their profession. He then proceeded to eulogiee e the Irish Protestant clergy' generally, and observed that no set of men more faithfully and unostentatiously dis-. charged the duties of private charity than the vlergYtreqt of Ireland ; but that measure would tend to stop the stream at the fountain head. Another result which was to be feared was, the great dissatisfaction which this mea sure would create amongst the Protestant population of Inland. It would excite dissatisfaction and disgust of the most dangerous character, and would very probably lead them to join the ranks of those who wished to put an end ea the union between England and Ireland.—(Hear, bear. ) If the King violated the compact under which h e held his Crown—.the Protestants of Ireland won begin to ask whether they were not entitled to think t l e.em e 'elves exempt from their reciprocal allegiance ? These were the days of liberal opinions ; and though be did set think so, others might, and succeed in inducing the people to accept the interpretation —(Oh, and Hear.) If this measure were to lead to the separation of the Legis latures of the two countries even, not to speak of the two Crowns, what, he would like to know, would become of the property of absentees.—(Hear, hear.) Confiscation and ruin stared them in the face. He threw out these observations for the consideration of the House, believing them to be well worthy of its most serious attention. He felt this to he but the commencement of a system which n he would not say was intend e d t o l ea d t o , b u t tylk;eh t certainly would end in, the overthrow of the estaa4liahe4 church. Let them try what experiments they might with politics, but let them not make the awful experiment of trying how a nation could prosper without religion. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether Mr. Leroy had toy amendment to propose ? but the Hon. and Learned Gentleman intimated, as we understood, that his amend. moat was reserved for a future resolution. Mr. COBBETT and Mr. PAYMK rose together, but the former gentleman gave way, and Mr. PRYME proceeded to express his surprise at the arguments just addressed to the House. In his opinion the legislature had a perfect right to deal with church pronerty, if they did so for the public benefit.—(Hear, near.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had compared Cie imposition of a tax upon the clergy as equivalent to raking away the estltes of an individual. There was, however, no similaa ity between the two cases. The estates af private individeals were gained either by the industry d . she present possessors, or by th e industry and servic e s sa f their ancestors ; whilst the income of the clergy w as They stipend paid for public eervices.—(fhers b e ar.). or t; . *., Hon.

Upon the SPEAKER'S leavinz the Chair for the whole House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Irish Church Reform Bill, Lord ALTHORP rose to submit his resolutions to the House. It was not his intention to waste the time of the House by saying any thing calculated to re-open the question, or to re•debate the subject. He would merely state, more by way of notice than any thing else, that the church cess was entirely abolished. That the Bill, even supposing it were carried, could not come into operation this year, yet it was not the wish of Government that the church cess should be collected this year. It would he therefore necessary that the money for the church rates for this year should be raised from some other funds. The Noble Lord then proposed to read the first resolu tion, which was as follows " 1. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is expe dient that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland should be autho rized to appoint Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the purpose of carrying into effect any Act that may be passed in the pre sent Session of Parliament to alter and amend the laws relating to the Temporalities of the Church in Ireland; and that the said Lord Lieutenant be empowered to order and appoint such salary or other emoluments as he shall deem fit to be paid to such Commissioners, not being Bishops." Mr. LEFROY had received a great many letters from ashops and the highest ecclesiastical and local authorities, all expressive of the greatest apprehensions with respect to the measure now proposed, not as a measure merely for the reform of the church and a new arrangement of church property, of which they expressed no disapproba tion if kept svithin reasonable limits and applied to the in terests of the church, but they were alarmed at this measure because they considered it one which must ulti• inately destroy the church property and the rights and in terests of its possessors. He was prepared to dispute this as a general question, whether it were expedient or com petent in that House to interfere with church property in the manner now proposed. He intended to move an amendment on this resolution, to take the sense of the House on these important points ; whether it were just or competent in them to interfere in the general property of the church, and the rights and interests of its present possessors, except for church purposes. He was far from opposing a fresh adjustment of church property; nor was he an advocate for sinecures and pluralities; be would op pose no reform on these points; but he would strongly oppose, first, the application of church property to other than church purposes ; and, secondly, any infringement on the vested rights and interests of the present possessors of church property. Passing even the first resolution, he should come to the second and third resolutions proposed to the House, which were as follows : " 2. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is ex pedient to make provision for the abolition of the First Fruits in Ireland, and in lieu thereof to levy an Annual Assessment upon all bishoprics and archbishoprics, and upon all bene fices, dignitaries and other spiritual promotions above the yearly value of •2001 to be applied to the building, rebuilding and re pairing of churches and other such like ecclesiastical purposes, and to the augmentation of small livings, and to such other purposes as may conduce to the advancement of religion, and the efficiency, permanency, and stability of the United Church of England and Ireland. "8. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that vestry assessments for any of the purposes to defray which the annual assessment mentioned in the preceding resolution may be ap plicable, should be abolished; and that any law, statute, or u.sage authorizing such assessment should be repealed." Thus it was proposed to abolish church cess altogether, providing in lieu thereof by an annual tax upon all church benefices, from the Archbishop downwards, so low twenty pounds a year. This was not a mere abolition of the Board of First Fruits on the new arrangement of church property. The amount of the tax proposed would infinitely surpass that for which it would be substituted, and they were going to call upon persons to pay this tax who, from having already paid their first fruits, ought in honour anti justice to be perfectly exempt from any ulte• rior claim. It appeared from returns made to that House in 1828, that the sum total received for first fruits in Ire land for the space of thirty-one years was 9,947/. Its. 3d., of which sum 3,177/. Is. 4d. was paid by the Bishops. This would show thewholeannualamount paid to be 3211., 2141. of this sum being paid by the working clergy. The taxes proposed by the new law would bring in no less a sum than 55,000/. per annum from the whole of the clergy ; yet this was a Bill they brought in under the title of a Commutation Bill. This was like asking a man for change for a shilling, and taking from him a ten-pound note: they asked for an exchange of 3411. a year, and seized hold of 55,0001. a year. With what justice or equity could this be called a commutation for the first fruits ? No, it was a plunder of the church. If such a thing were to take place between man and man, it would he punished as a downright highway rub '!ery : but because it had been introduced by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was al ver y right and proper.—(A laugh.) As to the next re solution, the vestry cess at present produced 60,000/. a year on above twelve millions of acres of cultivated lend, tiring a burden of about a penry an acre. Now this church cess was by no means applied wholly to church pu rpo•e+, but to marry purposes quite distinct. Why, l ien , should this burden, which was at present laid upon the land—why shou d this be !lid upon the working clergy ? The House had been told that the Church o Ireland was so wealthy that it ought to contribute to these outgoings. There never was a subject which had m e t with more exaggerated detail than the Church property, as the N.,ble Lord himself bad allowed. The income 01 the Bishops did not amount to more than 130,000/. a year. The remainder of the 600,000/. went to the Bi- , 5T11i5i4iTh..,........_ - 0.
