Against it Majority against the motion Mr. COLQUHOUN presented a petition from a number of delegates at present in London, representing 30 places, 120 of them Parliamentary boroughs, against the Maynooth grant. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition ; signed by 538 dele gates and deputies, assembled to-day at Crosby-hall, and re. presenting the great body of the Dissenters, against the May nooth Bill. Mr. Ward, Mr. Bright, Mr. Sharman Crawford, Sir G. Grey. Mr. Muntz, Mr. Dawson, arid several other ;.lon. Members, also presented a great number of petitions to the same effect. Several petitions in favour of the Bill were also presented by Hon Members. MAYNOOTH EILL—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Sir H. W. BARRON said that several of the petitioners who had addressed that House had stated that all State endowments were opposed to sound religion. But when he saw nine out of ten opponents to the Bill supporting the endowment of religion, considering it useful, valuable and necessary to have the Church supported by the State, he was surprised to ob serve this large body taking advantage of a cry raised on a ft tally different principle. He repeated lie was surprised that they should condescend to take advantage of this most im proper cry, and coming down to the House, tell her 'Majesty's Ministers that their measures were not in accordance with the feelings of the country. An HON. MEINIBER, here moved that the House be counted, but more than sixty Members having been found present, Sir H. W. BA RRON resumed. He had read the petitions of the Dissenters who were adverse to the Government mea sure, and if their w,shes and prayers meant anything, it was not that an endowment of Maynooth was objectionable, but that, being obnoxious to the principle of the State en dowing any religion whatsoever, they entered their oppo sition on the broad and intelligible grounds of the inexpediency of the State interfering with the Church. What, then, be came of the opposition of the Member for Oxford, and that of the Member for Kent, who now set themselves forward as the champions of the Church Establishment in this country. yet whose grounds of opposition were diametrically opposite to those of their associates ? The latter would decide equally against the Church Establishment in England, rgainst the Church Establishment in Ireland, and against the Church Establishment of Scotland; and if an appeal were to be made, it should be made on those grounds alone. Their language had been. " We conscientiously object to the endowment of any religious institution whatsoever," and the persons who had stated this so emphatically were rot an isolated or particular body, an exception to the great majority, but the !elec. ed minis ters of the entire dissenting body of the country. But there were reasons, and cogent unanswerable reasons for the endow ment of the College of Maynooth. First, it had been sanc tioned by the Irish Parliament ; secondly, it had been sanc tioned by the English Parliament for a period of forty-five years ; and, thirdly, the great body of the Catholics of Irelard were keenly alive to the fact, that it was by English force, by English violence, and by English bayonets that they had been deprived of the endowments of their Church. Let those en dowments be restored and then might the present paltry pittance be withheld, but if those endowments were still kept, and kept for Protestant purposes, the Irish Catholics had a right to claim from the Parliament of England an equi valent. If a body were deprived of an indefeasible right by force, was it not natural that that injured body should seek re stitution or redress? and yet the Irish Roman Catholics had never, be it remembered, come and asked for the grant. Yet when acceded, he felt confident that it would be accepted by the great body of the hierarchy and clergy of Ireland as an honest and just concession. Accepted in a spirit of peace, aye, even of thankfulness, and thankfulness more than was commensurate with the amount. If all religions were to be cast upon their own resources, as in the case of the Dissenters, then let the Irish Catholics at least have that property returned to them. No similar claim could be made out on behalf of the Dissenters of England. They had never been deprived of their rightful endowmeets, nor robbed of their first possessions. And to think the former would be satisfied without redress, was to suppose an impossibility. The Irish character was not different from the English. Let them suppose that the contemplated expedition of Napoleon upon England had succeeded—that he had overrun, ravaged, vanquished the country, then spoliated the Church, and handed it over to his soldiery or citizens, how would the English have acted then ? Oh, they would have acted like men, and would have cried " restitution is due, and sooner or later it must be made." Such had been the Irish feeling, such their conduct, such their first avowal. The se cond objection to the measure was, however, on religious grounds, but in a country like this, professing different religions, and greatly divided in itself, it was hardly becoming to raise such an intolerant and anomalous outcry. In England they had established the religion of the majority of the people ; in Scotland they had established the religion of the majority of the people; in Ireland they had established the religion of the minority of the people. Was that not an insult, a marked, a gratuitous insult ? and was it not natural that dis content and acerbity, and animosity, should be the feelings of a people so unjustly treated ? A statement had been put forth, which he did not believe, that the majority of the English people were opposed to the grant, but those that did resist it on religious grounds had clamoured loudly and unworthily of " Catholicism" and" Jesuitism." Let it be remembered that it was the Jesuit who had first spread the doctrines of Chris tianity, who, daring the terrors of climate and of barbarism, had traversed the most repulsive regions, and taught the pure doctrines of his religion to the heathen. And, as to Githolicism, it was the religion of the ancestors of every Member of that House : it was the religion of those who had fought for and obtained that source of their liberties and their rights—Magna Charter. Did they forget what they owed the Catholic? It was he that had achieved the victories of Cressy, Poictiers, and Agincourt; it was he that had founded the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge ; it was he that had created that glorious temple whose walls approximated their own. He made these remarks not to bring on polemical discussion, but because he had been provoked to it, and he should have felt himself unworthy of his seat in that House had he not protested against the language of the opponents of the measure towards the Catholic religion gene rally. He considered that no Protestant in that House would object to subscribe to all the essential doctrines of faith to which the Catholic gave his assent. Every one of those doctrines was maintained by some of the divines of the Established Church, and the religious opinions that were particularly ascribed to the Roman Catholics might be found especially insisted on in the Book of Common Prayer. As to mere matters of form and ceremonial, the two parties might differ; but what had these distinctions to do with religion ? Nothing whatever, and this opinion he was prepared to maintain in the presence of divines belonging to both churches. It was the result of biassed opi nions and most unfounded prejudices, that prevented this opinion from being universally entertained. He be lieved, as an honest man, that in essentials there was little or no difference between their doctrines. It was true that if Dissenting Ministers, and others ignorant of real facts, were asked to give a description of the Roman Catholic religion, they would tell you that it was a most monstrous and fright ful doctrine, filled with superstitious errors and every abomi . nation ; but they had obtained their knowledge of the religion from their nursery-maids, and had retailed it, highly exagge rated, to their associates as the truth. The publication of these foolish notions had done more to shake the attachment of the Irish people to the Government of the land than all the contumely and persecution that had been heaped on them for centuries past. He believed the wrong ideas entertained of the Catholic religion constituted a most mischievous and dan gerous condition ; and he would implore Hon. Gentlemen to consider whether they would array themselves or not against the best interests and peace of the country. The proposed grant to Maynooth was not to be considered merely as a gift of so much money, but it ought to be taken as the expression of a kindly feeling towards the Irish people ; and it would tend to assure them that whatever had been done in bygone times, the Government were now wilting to atone for the mistakes which had been formerly committed. He would request Hon. Members not to regard this grant in the light of a religious discussion. From many years' anxious consideration he would fearlessly assert, that the differences which had divided the re ligions of England and Ireland were of such small moment, that, from their trivial nature, they could not much longer exist. The House differed as to the subject of the grant to Maynooth, but he would beseech it to be unanimous in giving this satisfaction to the people of Ireland, so that they might see that the large major:ty of Englishmen were disposed to act kindly towards them. The proposed measure would give greater satisfaction to Ireland than any scheme that had ever been contrived. The hopes of the people had been raised to the highest pitch of excitement in the expectation of receiving the boon, and he trusted from the bottom of his heart that the value of the gift might not be diminished by its being awarded by a small and unwilling majority. Mr. LAWSON said he considered that matters of a reli gious tendency ought not to be discussed in that House. Hav ing briefly stated this opinion he would proceed to offer a few observations on what had fallen from the Hon. Baronet with regard to what he considered the restoration of property to the Roman Catholics. This refunding would meet with his most decided opposition, and he had voted against it on the Appro priation Clause. He considered the Church of Ireland as an integral portion of the Church of England—of course he al luded to the Protestant Church of Ireland—and the two churches were united. On these grounds, and not from any hostile motives, he was resolved to oppose the giving of church property to the Catholics. He would now proceed to the con sideration of the Bill for the endowment of Maynooth_ Itet..a all along voted against the bestowing of the small amount hi therto given to the college, but he should experience great sa tisfaction in supporting the measure for bestowing a larger grant for the purposes of education. He had on a former occasion voted in favour of the education Bill because he considered that, under the peculiar position in which the country stood, some improved means for preventing the spread of ignorance and superstition was very much needed. lie would not object to give the pi oposed grant to Maynooth, or a larger sum, if it was necessary; but he could not perceive how the bestowal of a greater amount could re solve his objections to the purposes to which it would be de voted. He would now refer to what the Honourable Baronet had stated with respect to the alliance between Dissenters and the Church. It was true he had presented petitions from Dissenters ; and he considered that the general feeling of his constituents was decidedly opposed to the grant. In case the Maynooth Bill were passed tie would prefer that scholarships should be founded, so that there might be a fair field opened for genius, and no difference in religions belief should prevent a young man from earning the reward of learning. He would say, let truth prevail, and there was nothing unfair in that view of the case. It ap peared to him that if superstitious doctrines were to be preached, let there be a corresponding facility opened for ree butting them in fair argument, and he was persuaded that no man who was anxious for truth could object to this course. It had been stated that the popular feeling was not against this Bill; he would, however, believe that the feeling throughout the country was strongly opposed to the grant, and many of the arguments brought forward in its support were in direct contradiction one to the other. The Hon. H. CHOLMONDELEY considered that the measure would be attended with some risk, but the danger to be apprehended was not so urgent or so great, as to binder the expectation that great good would result. For this reason he was determined to give his support to the third reading of the B ill. He would give his vote, not for the purpose of swelling the majority, or supporting the Government, but from the pure conviction that no harm would result, and that it would greatly benefit the Irish people. He had listened attentively to the arguments that had been urged for and against the measure, but he had heard nothing that could tend to shake his original opinion on the subject. He was not one of those who were inclined to under-estimate either the Protestant or the Catholic religion. He was by birth and education a Protestant, but he was not, for that reason, inclined to oppose the claims of the Catholic, and neither did he think that by supporting the measure he would tend in any degree to promote the Roman Catholic religion. He considered that, by supporting this measure, he was doing no more than an act of justice to Ireland. It was not the speeches of the public orators—it was not the declamation of Mr. O'Connell. He did not believe that the proceed ings in the Conciliation Hall had anything to do with the measure.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") He did not think that any grant should be made to the claims of agitation. The Government had not acted on this subject simply with a view to popularity. They had acted with a view to conci liate the people of Ireland, and he did not think that the grant would in any way tend to promote the interests of the Catholic Church, otherwise than by elevating the priests of that Church in the social scale. As the Hon. Member for Newark had stated in one of the earliest speeches on this sub ject, the religious portion of the subject ought to be lef,: altogether out of the question.—( Hear, hear.) They had nothing whatever to do with the doctrines of that Church. That House was in his opinion one of the very last places in the world in which a religious discussion ought to arise. They could not now look upon this as a religious question at all. The question was simply this. How were Hon. Members to look upon the state of the country and to consider the claims of Maynooth? They had two ways, either to disregard the claims of that college, and, defective as that establishment was, leave it to pursue its own course, or they were, on the other hand, to increase the grant, and endeavour to amend it. There was, indeed. another course, and that was to discontinue the grant altogether. With any man who would counsel the diseen tinuance of the grant he could not speak—hel was compelled to join issue with him. But what would be the consequence of the discontinuance of the grant? They would not do away with the College—they would not, in any way, impede the ordination of the Roman Catholic priests, but they would take the College from under the control of Government, and de prive it of that wholesome regulation which this grant em powered the Government, if they chose it, to impose. The question, therefore, in his mind, resolved itself into this—were they, and how were they, to amend it ? He was quite pre pared to amend it in the way proposed by the Government, and by an increased grant to the College of Maynooth to give a better education to the students, and a higher position in the social scale to the Roman Catholic priesthood. He believed this to be an excellent—a conciliatory measure for Ireland. It was some repayment for the long arrear of injustice which she had endured from this country. Hon. Gentlemen should recollect that this was not now an exclusively Protestant Par liament, and that they must legislate as if they had something to do with the social condition of the great portion of the Irish people. He would take the liberty to read an expression of that late great philosopher and philanthropist, Dr. Arnold. That great man had said, that '• let the difference between Christian and anti. Christian be as wide as it will, but let the difference between Christian and Christian sink into nothing." —( Cheers.) They had also to consider the arguments against the rejection of the measure on the other side. If this measure were rejected, not only would the v•ite turn cut the present Ministry, but also every Ministry that should suc ceed it, which was not pledged to the grant to Pilaynooth. They would lay a palsying hand on the trade and commerce of Ireland—they would prevent the influx of capital—they would prevent the formation of railroads, those great means of civili zation and improvement. The feelings of the Irish people would be estranged, and their confidence in the gond will of this country would be lost. But the granting of this measure would have a double effect, it would be a blessing to those who gave and to those who received its benefits—the country which bestowed, and the country on whom the gift was bestowed, would be alike sharers in the advantages. As he had before asserted, it would not add one Roman Catholic to the ranks of that church. Conversions were not to be made without but within the Church, anal he, as a Protestant opposed to the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, felt bound to assert that such would be the ease. This grant would do no injury to the Protestant religion in Ireland. All the instances they bad heard of came from within the Church. Luther was a Catholic when he began the reformation.—( Cheers. ) Be lieving, therefore, that this measure would be a healing mea sure, and that it was calculated to be of service to the country, he should give his earnest support to the measure. Mr. FFOLLIOTT said that as he had voted against the smaller sum he had no difficulty in voting against the larger grant. He should oppose it, because he believed that it was opposed to the feelings of the great body of the Protestants in Ireland, and calculated to do an injury to the Protestant Church. He had himself, only the other evening, presented a petition from the county of '1 yrone, which was signed, he believed, by more persons than all the signatures represented which were attached to the petitions in favour of the grant. The letter which he had received for the presentation of that petition spoke, ke believed, the sentiments of the Pro testant inhabitants of Ireland, and it strongly repudiated any adoption of the principle which this grant included. It was well known that the College of Maynsuth had been under the management of the Jesuits. That it was so in the year 1816, but if it could be proved to him that an alteration had been made since that time he should not have had such an objectors to the vote. If it could be proved to him that the students had been led to appreciate the sacredness of an oath, he should feel less reluctance than he now entertained against the vote, but he could not feel this, and he should therefore support the amendment cf the Hon. Member for Dorsetshire. more wo-eing in conclusion, that if they severed the Irish Es tablishment from the State, or treat -t1 a junction between vo luntaries and latitudinarians, they would decrease the happi n greatness, and prosperity of this country. Mr. GASKELL said that he had sat io that House since the paising of the Reform Bill, and he thought, having sat so 14:ng, it was ineumhent on him to support that Government which he had always so cordially assisted. Ile opposed the policy of L or d M e lb ourne, because he believed that the ten dency of it was to increase the democratic influence in Ireland, and that it added to the power of the repeal movement ; but his belief was that the tendency of the measure now before the House was precisely opp'osite. His support of the Bill did not re s t on any compact either expresse d or im plied by the Legislature at the ti me o f th e u n ion. He believed that there was such a compact, and that it was binding ; but his vote was not founded upon it, because he was ready to sup ' port the measure in the absence of any compact on the part of the Government. He would only trouble the House with one word more. He would just call attention to the wards of the Attorney-General for Ireland, ahen Mr. Burke was connected with the Government of that country. (The lion. Member then read a few sentences from a paper he held in his hand, which were to the effect that the sentiments of the legal autho rity whom he quoted were, that, " in order to conciliate the Irish people, the Roman Catholic religion should be cherished and supporied—not tolerated.")—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Gaskell) had the greatest respect for those who opposed this measure; but he was astonished how Honourable Mem bers who supported the measure for the smalier sum, could oppose the present measure, and still retain their seats. —( Hear, hear.) This was a Bill which did not contain any proposition that slid violence to the conscience of any man, or deprived the Established Church of any of its existing privi . leges or immunities.—( Hear, hear.) On these grounds he would support the Government measure, and he trusted that the House would take advantage of that proposition, and in the beautiful language of Mr. Canning, make that glorious moment irrevocaoly their own. - :29 " Non tamen irritum " Quodcunque recto est, etliciet wipe " Dittinget, iiirectunique reedet, " Quod fugiens sernel flora vexit." Mr. 13ELLEW rose, as a Catholic Member, to express his Opinion upon the Church Question. He thought spoliation took place at the time of the Reformation ; but he thought that it would be equal spoliation to take the property from the Catholics n iw. He was, however, of opinion that in a very few years a very different opinion would be held in Ireland. He thought this measure, therefore, was a very politic one, and he was convinced that it would be duly appreciated by the people of Ireland, as it wouise lead them to believe their religion was cared for by the State. Whatever the religion of a people might be, Mahomedan or Jewish, so long as they behaved loyally and peaceably, they had a right to be dealt with in the same manner as the members of the Established Church. After all that was said of crime in Ireland it was not so prevalent as in England, and the way to diminish it still more, and to restore permanent tranquillity, was by introducing measures of a humane and conciliatory na ture like the present, which, after all the obloquy it had en countered, would, he felt confident, be considered as a moat ac ceptable boon by the great body of the people of Ireland. When the Hon. Member sat dawn there were loud cries of " Divide," and for at least a minute no Hon. Member rose. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and they were about doing se—many had actually left the genet ies, and there was a rush of Members to the bar, when— Sir R. INGLIS rose amid loud and renewed cries of " Divide." When the tumult ceased, the Hon. Baronet pro ceeded to say that, in the course of a hundred hours' debate, not a single point had remained undiscussed ; and having already experienced the indulgence of the House, he would not again have trespassed upon it, did he not think, when the cry for a division arose, that it would be unbecoming in him, having taken so strong a part from the beginning, to allow a Enal decision to be come to without endeavouring, for the last time, to recal the attention of the House to some of the views, not, perhaps, new views, but some to which their attention had been already directed. It was no longer contended, as in the early part of the debate, that they were bound by compact to maintain or increase the grant to Maynooth. After the de claration of his Right Hon. Friend at the commence ment of this discussion, wh'ch gave, as an alternative, that they should abandon the education of the Roman Catholic clergy altogether, it would be no longer contended that they were bound by compact. But by whatever they were . bound —by charity, as the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department said, or by fear, as the Hon. Member for Marylebene stete,t, or by sympathy with the reli gious feelings of the majority of the Irish people, as other Hon. Members had insinuated—it was quite clear that they were under no moral obligation to educate the Catholic priesthood. Looking upon the measure either in the light of policy, justice, or expediency, he could not change the opinion which he had already expressed—that it would alienate the Protestant mind, and would totally fail to conciliate the Roman Catholics of Ireland. He had been told that he had no right to assume that the majority of the Protestants of the empire were opposed to this measure, and that its opponents chiefly comprised Dissenters, and a few members of the Established Church. He was further assured that it would be acceptable to the Irish Roman Catholic people, but it did not seem as if their leaders had been conciliated by it, though. perhaps, the Hon. Members for Dundalk, Dungarvon, and Waterford might approve of it.—( Hear, hear.) He repeated his belief that the great mass of the Protestant people were directly opposed to the measure, and that it was far from conciliating any measurable proposition of the Catholics of Ireland, who, Instead of re ceiving it as a boon, would reject it as an insult.--( Hear.) They talked of sectarian differences, but had not this Bill set creed against creed?—(Hear.) Whose fault was that?— ( Hear, hear. ) It had raised the Protestant feeling of the country, and they would in vain attempt to lay it. It had kindled the flame which smouldered, and which would break out with a degree of intensity, so that no man could calculate upon its violence or its ravages. It had been said that there were not such large assemblies of the clergy of the Church of England, acting in corporate bodies, as at the time of the Emancipation Bill, but there was hardly a parochial petition among the numbers he had presented, which was not signed by the rector of the parish.—(Hear.) He had been told that they should not unite with their Dis senting brethren, but he never felt ashamed of the mere term Protestant—(Hear, hear )—nor sought to escape from that dis tinction. The. Hon. Baronet then went on to explain the natureof Prutestantism,which was not, he said, a mere bundle of negatives, bet a distinct and definite idea—a creed for which men had spilt their blood three centuries ago. lee had been accused by Hon. Members opposite as setting himself up as an oracle of truth—he had not done so, but what he declined was, that he would not teach to a stranger what he believed to be false, no mole than he would teach it to his own child, and he hoped the same feelings existed in the breast of every Hon surable Member in that House.—( Hear, hear.) It would puzz'e them to make any distinction in the matter. He had never used strong language in that House inconsist ent with the personal respect due to the Gentlemen who ad dressed the House. He, for one, would not compromise the great truths in which he had been brought up ; and he would say, that if the Protestant truth—if the religion of the Church o f England was in accordance with the law of God and the Gospel, then must the other system which the measure pro. posed to en low, be a system of error. how any man could support a system that went to justify the propagation of error, he could not see. He was sure it could never be reconciled to conscience or common sense. He, at all events, would never publicly or privately support what he could not be lieve. The Church of England was not one of many sects, but the religion of the people and the State.—(Hear. ) It was, therefore, entitled to the highest privilege, and ought not to be placed in comparison with other sects, but had a right to demand maintenance and support from the State. He could net conceal front himself the fact, that his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government had occupied the most important position, during the last twenty years, of any public man they ever had in th e country. Every goo d or evil mea sure during the last quarter of a century had, either wholly or in part, originated with him, with the exception of the Reform Bill. There was no measure originated or brought to a con clusion during that time, but what, in their merits or demerits, were due to him more than to any other man. He might refer to the changes in the criminal law of England, the ecclesiasti cal law of England, Church reform, the poor-law.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and " Divide, divide.") The Whig Government could not carry forward their measures without the assistance of his Right Hon. Friend. The union of the Canadas, and the formation of the Municipal Corporations, were both indebted to his helping hand. He would warn his Right Hon. Friend against the course he was at present pur- Suing as fatal to the best interests of the country. No one could be ignorant of the great degree of respect and considera tion which was at present bestowed on the Roman Catholic re ligion, whenever her Majesty's Government.—( Cries of " Ox ford.") He would leave the differences at Oxford to be settled by the convocation. He had thought that when the Catholic Emancipation Bill was carried in 1829, the require ments of the Roman Catholics had been conceded and satisfied ; but it now appeared that a measure was to be introduced which, he believed, would go far to repeal that Act, while it would legalise the introduction, and administer to the succession of all the scholastic institutions founded on adverse principles. That Bill had been three months lying on the table of the House, and no attention had yet been drawn to its anomalous and per nicious character. Waif he not, therefore, justified in saying that a line of conduct tending to discourage the Protestant, and encourage the Roman Catholic Church, was manifested by the coursethelaosfle A last the Administration towards twentyio —n h i e., en old ~.j las 112,14.nd IF thoy 1 Onit t. 1s saute spirit Governments w asa apparent a, eot which, thi o towaids its colonial institutions. In 1797, a considerable grant of land was made in Canada for the foundation of the Protes tant Establishment there. A short time ago, the Government abroad, acting under the instructions of the Home Administra tion, had brought in a Bill to take away that great property, and by a majority of eleven it had been agreed to transfer it from a Protestant University to one where no religious in struction whatever was to be admitted. Looking, therefore, at the systematic discouragement given to the Church of England and the systematic encouragement to the Church of Rome, and regarding the present measure but as the prelude and precursor of the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church, he should still, in this, its last stage, offer it his uncompromising Sir D. NORREYS said that he certainly should support the third reading. The Ministry had done what they thought right, and it was at least in bad taste to rake up, as the last speaker had done, all the exuvim of noisome reports and slanders. They had now a own the seed, and they would soon reap the harvest. They proposed to insure this gnat on the same security as the Civil List, the public establishments of the country, the army and the navy, rested, arid the country would be grateful to them for the way in which the grant had been made. They had passed a great gulf, and he trusted they would proceed to a happy termir ation. Mr. GODSON slid that he should trouble the House with a very few words in explanation of tha vote he intended to give on the pre , ent occasion, and he did this partly because his opinion might not coincide with many of those who had re- turned him as their representative to Parliament. And first, it became his duty to see what were the benefits which this measure would confer upon the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and in making this inquiry, he would not regard the present as a solitary - measure, for he trusted it was not to stand alone, the only monument of the Government's desire to de justice to the sister country. He hoped that the Irish people would enjoy that peace which re sulted from a conviction that they had been justly dealt with. He (Mr. Godson) had had considerable experience of the Church establishment in the colonies, for he had been inti mately acquainted for many years with the Island of Jamaica, and he should, with the permission of the House, draw Honouraole Members' attention to the sums of money which had been sent to the different religious denominations there, and particularly to the amounts granted for the support of the Roman Catholics. There was an annual annunt sent every year to the Island of Jamaica of 28,511)1. This appeared to be the case by a return for the year 1639, which bad been laid on the table of that House. They would find that out of 166,242/ granted altogether for ecclesiastical purposes, the Roman Ca tholic priesthood had had no less than 14,7631. Why, then, he asked, should the colonies have a greater measure of justice than that accorded to Ireland? He trusted that this measure was an indication of better things—that they would soon see the priesthood of the Roman Catholics made independent of the people to whom they ministered, and that as the blessings of education were extended, a more united and friendly feeling would spring up between that country and this. He trusted that the period was not distant when the Parliament would he considered a Legislature not inimical to their interests, but willing to do them that justice which had so long been refused to them. The minister of religion would confine himself to the discharge of his spiritual functions and duties; and they would be able to apply to him the beautiful language of the poet— " And as a bird each fond endearment tries To tempt its new fledged offspring to the skies; He tries cacti art, reproves each dull delay, Allures to brighter worlds, and leads the way." —( Hear, hear.) Colonel RA WDON, on the part of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, gave his hearty concurrence to the measure brought forward by the Right Hon. Baronet. He looked on it as opening a better prospect for the Irish people, as the beginning of a better state of things. Why, if they did not do that justice which was certainly due to Ireland, it would be better to discontinue the connexion between the two portions of the empire —it would be better, he repeated, to dissever that con nexion, than to maintain a disregard of the feelings of a very large and important portion of the empire. He believed, that notwithstanding the great number of petitions which had been obtained against the Bill, the generous feelings of the English people were in favour of a measure which manifested a disposition on the part of the English Government to render some justice to an injured country. He knew very well all the uses that might be made of the debate, but that would not prevent him from persisting in his support to the Bill. Mr. SHAW denied, in the first place, that there was any similarity between the present proposition and the Act of 1795, which gave a temporary and conditional endow ment to the college of Maynooth. But the Go vernment were not satisfied now with the tolerance of the Romish Church, but they were going to endow it, and to make it permanently a part of the State. The Right Hon. Baronet treated this as the foundation of a new system. He should like to know what they were to understand from the words of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Govern ment two years ago. He then adopted a different policy and a different tone towards Ireland. Ile had now changed his opinions, and was adopting a different policy towards that country. The Roman Catholics inferred from the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, that they were not to be content with civil rights, but were to have religious equality with the members of the Established Church. Thus strife, excitement, and animosity, of a far more important character than that which existed during the period when the old poli tical Catholic question disturbed that country, would be engen dered. God help the people of that country, for, indeed, they had but little to expect from such a course of policy.—( Cheers) Instead of men of different political feelings co-operating to gether for the promotion of national improvements, and for the promotion of their common interests, it would seem as if they were again to be driven into religious disputations and party conflict—that days of peace and rest should never be permitted to the pesul© r and that dissension. discor and con tention of a lasting kind would be introduced. He regretted that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had made the announcement " that Ireland was to be his difficulty." This was a sure way to make it so. Such predictions had a tendency to their own fulfilment. He sincerely believed that much of the vexation and annoyance of the " monster meetings' and " State prosecutions" in Ireland, had been induced by that declaration.—(Cries of " Oh," and " No.") He would not go into them, but he was prepared to say, for his own part, that in the treatment of the monster meetings at first, or in the State prosecutions after, he did not think the policy pursued was injudicious.—( Hear, hear.) He was ready to affirm that when the Right Hon. Baronet assumed office there was not amongst all his political supporters a section more anxious to co-operate with him in adopting a conciliatory policy toward Ireland than his Irish supporters —( Hear, hear.) To the last hour of his life he should entertain feelings of affectionate regard towards the Right Hon. Baronet. He had always been the friend of civil equality both to his Roman Catholic brethren and his Protestant associates.—( Hear, hear.) lie had not the honour of sitting in that House in 1829, but his father had been turned out for giving a vote in favour of the Catholics. The part he had taken with respect to the Municipal Corpo ration Bill had lost him the dearest and best friend of his life. —( Hear, hear.) He was glad to see his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland in his place, because it gave him the opportunity of telling him that when he went to that country he would find himself in no better a position than a clerk to the Home-office.—( Hear, hear.) He could not but think, as an Irishman, that the appointment of Englishmen to the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland was greatly to be deplored. With regard to professional appointments, he did not wish to bring any names before the House, but at the same time he would say that in professional appointments they had been rather chosen by the considerati.n of an inferior policy, than by a regard to the character or the honour of the professions themselves, or the wishes of the Irish people. The Right lion. Baronet, in enumerating the appointments which were made, spoke of a gentleman appointed to a minor office ; he (:.sr. S. ) would not mention the name; but while that gentlem an re mained in had o tlia office , s p he was still some proof of the p r i nc i p l e which he 0 k on of. The Protestants of I re l an d were not so easily to be frightened as the Right Hon. Baronet ima gined, and that he would yet find out. He would warn the Government that if they lost the support of the Irish Protest. ants, they would introduce a spirit of discontent, without creating a good feeling among the people. Lord Plunket him self, though a friend to the Roman Catholics, had declared that if that House attempted to touch the property of the Protestant Church in Ireland. they would soon see the ties of the union of Ireland at an end, and the severance of the two countries. There was one fact upon which he begged his Honourable Friend the First Lord of the Treasury and the Government to reflect —namely, that the over whelming majority of the honourable Members of that House, who voted for that measure, were influenced by the idea that this measure was calculated to do injury to the Protestant Establishment.—( Hear.) Let those Gentlemen who professed a regard for the Established Church of England I know that if they destroyed the Irish branch, the English branch must follow. They may not think so now, hut they would find it out if the experiment were tried. He would give them one opposition. Colonel VERNER, amidst loud tiles of " Divide," moved an adjournment of the debate, on which the House divided, when there appeared — For the adjournment ..

GORHAMBURY RACES.—TUESDAY. The nominations, of which an outline was published on Monday, although good in aggregate, and calculated to sustain the popularity of the meetings, fell short of some of the principal stakes, and neither the events dt sided yesterday nor those to be ran this day are likely to make any alteration in the positions of the Derby favourites. But if the field were small and the results of slight prospective importance, the sport was varied and satisfactory, and run off with a better observ race of time than has usually characterised the Gorham bury management. The general arrangements on the course, and of matters connected with the racing, were entrusted to the same parties who have, from their first establishment, officiated as Judge, Clerk of the Course, and Starter ; and, under the personal direction of the Earl. of Verulam, were carried out on the same plan that has hitherto been so successful in distinguishing Gorham bury as one of the most quiet and enjoyable meetings in the kingdom. Everything in the shape of gambling (of course we do not presume to apply so unpalatable a term to the legitimate amusements, or to the speculations to which they gave rise) was prohibited, defaulters were held in terrorem, and roguery in small matters was kept at bay by the strong arm of the law. Pity that a meeting so well conducted, and so des( rvedly popular with all classes, should be discontinued, yet, if report is to be heliesed. such is not unlikely to be the, case. The weather, unfortunately, was cold and showery, and, in consequence, the assemblage was not so large as we have seen on some occasiors ' • still it was very numerous ; and th a t t h ere was no lack of rank and fashion, the following selection will show :—The Ger hambury House list included the Earl of Verulam, Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Lord and Lady Craven, Hon. Mr. Craven, Lord Stanley, Lord and Lady Clarendon, Duke of Rutland, Poe. Mr. and Mrs. Grimston, Hon. C. Grimston, Lerd C. Manners, Lord Caledon, Lord Uffington, Lord and Lady Villiers, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Evelyn Craven, Marquis of Exeter, Sir W. W. Wynn, Miss Merrier, Mr. Greville, Hon. F. Grimston. The Counts as of Verulam, we regret to say, was de tained in town by indisposition. In addition to the Noble Earl and his guests we observed the Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of March, Lord Glamie Lord A. Lennox, Lord G. Lennox, Lord Duncannon, Lord E. Russell, Lord Ipswich, Hon. F. Villiers, Hon. Fras. "Villiers, Hon. 11. Forrester, Hon. Captain Boyle, Hon. Captain Stanley, Hon. E. M. Arbstyn, Sir J.

Graham, Delme, Batson, Crow melin, Higgins, &e. The races were originally fixed to commence at one o'clock, but, in consequence of her Majesty's state ball, the start for the Craven Stakes was deferred till two ;at half-past four the last race was over, and by seven, all who had the good fortune to save the special train provided at Watford, were landed safely at Euston-square.

The Christina filly went off in front, followed by Des peration, Queen of Tyne, Sambo, and Godfrey, and, without any material change, carried the running on to the Cherry -tree turn, in making which she ran cut, taking with her Sambo and Desperation, and was seen no more in the race.

It is the nearest to, and must receive the traffic of the South Wales, and all railways in the south of England, communicating by Fishguard with the south and west of Ireland, whose railways also (including several in high repute in the Share Market) will all be tributary to the one now proposed, for no doubt the shortest sea passage and the most direct railway transit will ever have the advantage in the estim a ti on o f travellers, as regards com fort and the saving of time and expense ; and should the Government decide on making the spacious harbour of Valentia the packet station for America, this railway may be justly regarded as a great imperial, if not Euro ' peen, object, and will be one of the best paying lines in Ireland. The length of the line is about 112 miles, and we understand the inclinations throughout are very fa vourable, so that the line will be cheaply worked. The Committee, we are informed, intend making use of the portion of the Waterford and Kingstown proposed line between New Ross and Waterford, and of the branch from Tralee to Killarney, proposed to be made by an other company, 30 that the capital will be amply sufficient to complete the undertaking in the best manner. The Provisional Committee presents the names of many of the local gentry,,and they are ably supported by an influen tial London Committee GREAT MEDITERRANEAN AND ADRIATIC ;JUNC TION RAILWAYS.—We understand that an arrange ment has been effected between the Great Mediterra nean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company, and the rival Austrian and Sardinian Company (both formed for carrying out the line from Genoa), on terms highly advantageous to the shareholders of both companies. In answer to the applications already made to the Sar dinian Government, the strongest assurances of sup port have been obtained, and negotiations to the same effect are pending with the Austrian Government. 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.

A dispatch, from which the following is an extract, has been re. ceived at the East India House :- JEIA.IOR.GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, G.C.8., TO THE GOVERNOR. GENERAL OF INDIA Having made forced marches of 120 miles in three day; to sur prise the enemy (the last march made by head.quarters and by Captain Mowat with one six-pounder and one howitzer, being fifty. six miles within twenty-four hours, through a desert of sand), I shall halt lure for a (!ay or two to rest the troops, and allow our supplies to overtake us. In fora arding the reports of Captains Salter and Jacob, I beg to draw your attention to the decisive courage, activity, and success with which these two officers have executed the orders they re ceived, and to the good humour with which the troops have made these harassing marches in the Desert. 'Wallee Alahomed, the Chandia chief, has also shown the greatest zeal and activity, ar riving at the point he was ordered, and with the greatest accuracy as to time; it was that point, too, at which most resistance was contemplate.l. The 2d Europeans are on their march from Sukkur to this place, under Major-General Hunter, together with some of the 64th and 4th Regiments of Native Infantry, whose ardent wish to take the field I thought it fair to these regiments to comply with under existing circumstances. The Bundelkund legion crossed the Indus on the 16th, under Major-General Simpson, anti is following the route of Major-Ge neral Hunter. Tomorrow every outlet from the hills will be blocked up by the cavalry ; and I hope to inflict another lesson upon the plundering tribes. P.S.—Since writing the above, some men have been cyture who were in the fight at Ooch ; from these we hare teamed that about 45 were wounded, and 40 killed; among the former is Deria Khan, the chief of the Jakrainees. He received a grape-shot in his breast, and was dying. There were 700 men; they thought they had to deal with Wallee Mahomed Chandia, and were not aware we were there till the artillery opened. They had drawn up in battle array to fight, when Captain Salter charged. CAPTAIN G. SALTER, 4TH NATIVE INFANTRY, COMMAND ING THE DETACHMENT, TO MAJOR GREEN, C. 8., ASSIST ANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, SINDE. Head-Quarters, Camp, Oooh, Jan. 16, 1845. Sir,--I have the honour to report, for the information of Major. General Sir C. Napier, G.C.8., that I had, last night, the good fortune to execute successfully his orders for surprising the encamp ment of the Beloosh marauders, at Ooch, with the detachment, as per margin,* under my command. After a march of forty miles from Khanghur, we reached Ooch, at eleven P.M. ; the cavalry charged down upon the en campment and did some execution, but horn the hilly nature of the country they could not repeat the charge with effect after the first surprise, as the enemy immediaiely took to the surrounding low, but very steep, hills, and•commenced firing with their matchlocks. In the darkness of the night no just estimate could be formed of the number of the enemy, but they are reported to have beers about five hundred men, chiefly Jakrainees and Boordees. Of these there were killed, Sowla, Jakrainee, the brother of Toochally, a principal chief of the marauders, and his two sons; and Deldar Khan, the son of Khyra Khan, a Boordee chief; some other noted marauders were killed or wounded, in all about sixty men. Three thousand five hundred head of camels, cattle, sheep, and goats, the accumulated plunder of the robbers, were taken, and a quantity of grain ; and the deserted encampment was burnt the next morning. I beg to report that Lieutenant Holmes, commanding the 6th Irregular Cavalry, set his men a most gallant example; his own horse was' wounded, and his orderly's killed ; and Lieut. Pulman., commanding the two guns, served them with quickness, precision, and effect. Mahomed Bilks!), Naib Ressaldar, commanding the troop 9111 Irregular Cavalry, an excelient officer, killed the Boordee chief in my presence, who had just cut down and killed my orderly's horse. I have the honour to enclose a return of the killed and wounded of the detachment, and regret that, in Azins Beg, Ressaldar, 6th Irregular Cavalry, the corps has lost a brave and valuable officer, and the Government an old and faithful servant, who had lately the honour to he favourably noticed in general orders.—l have, &c., G.

JACOB, COMMANDING SINDE IRREGULAR BORE, To MAJOR GREEN, C. 8., ♦SSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL. Shahpoor, Jan. IS, 1545. Sir,—l have the honour to report that, on the morning of the 13th inst., I marched from Laikanah with the camel corps, European volunteers, two thre.pounder guns on camels, and the Sinde irregular horse. We reached Khyrake-Gurree, distant forty' miles, the same evening, found the supply of water at that place insufficient even for the whole of the men of my detachment ; the horses and camels got none. On the morning of tne 14th, we marched to Rojan, twenty-four miles, and arrived there at noon; the supply of water at that place was altogether insufficient for he detachment, and men and horses were much distressed in conse quence. According to orders, I sent the camel corps and volun teers to Khanghur, and at noon, on the 15th, I marched with the Slade horse and two three-pot.nder guns towards Shahpoor, leaving nine of our horses behind, in a dying state, from thirst. I reached Lunda (distant thirty-five miles from Rojan, and about two from Shahpoor) at half-past eleven at night, and there received Information that Wuzzeer Khan (son of Beejar Khan Doomkee) was at Shahpoer with a large party of Jakrainees, Doomkees, and Boordees. I pushed on at a trot, and completely surrounded the village of Shahpoor before the alarm was given, or before any one could escape; and, knowing the place well, I at once galloped into a sort of inclosure on one side of the village, where the Jalerainee horsemen usually resided ; there was, however, no one there but a number of juts and herdsmen ; the enemy had that night occu pied the houses inside the village, and now opened a heavy fire of matchlocks on us from a high tower and from the houses. I immediately picqueted a troop, and took the men into the vil lage on foot, when all opposition ceased, and the robbers were only anxious to hide their arm , . I seized six ty.two prisoners (well armed, and whose matchlocks had nearly all been used that night), Jakrainees, Doomkees, and Boordees, among whom are several Sirdars ; but Wuzzeer Khan, hearing the report of guns fired at Ooch, about half an hour before we reached Shahpoor, had instantly mounted his horse and escapes'. I believe not a man left the vil lage after our arrival, although a tremendous dust storm which arose just as we reached the place, rendered it very difficult to watch the place properly. The fire from the village killed a duffedar, two snwars, and three horses, and wounded three sowers and five horses. All my men behaved well in this affitir, and I request that you will particularly bring to notice the excellent conduct of my second in command, Lieut. G. Malcolm, from whom I received the most able support and assistance; of Resseldar Major Sir Feraz Khan, and Resseldar Meer Furzund Ali ; the last-named officer commanded the troop which I lei into the village on foot. The Police Resselchir Alit Khan accompanied me from Larkanah, and his services were most valuable to me on this occasion, as well as during the whole march. I must not omit to mention Assistant. Surgeon Pe lly, who accom panied me while I was surrounding the village, and attended the wounded men the instant they fell. J. JACOB, Captain of Artillery, Commanding Sinde Irregular Horse.

CLASSIC SCULPTURE.—The perfection attained by the nations of classic antiquity in the arts, especially that of sculpture, is too well known and appreciated to require further eulogium at the present day. We may however cease to wonder at the excellence thus attained, when we learn the extent to which it was practised, since we find it recorded by an ancient writer that the number of statues at Rome exceeded that of its living inhabitants. It is well known that the master-pieces of Greek and Roman skill have constantly supplied modern artists with models and examples; and we have recently been much struck with the adaptation of a beautiful specimen of ancient art, by those distinguished artists Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who, for the protection of an article of deserved celebrity —the Ralydor, prepared by Messrs. Rowland and Son, of Hatton-garden, have produced a label depicting a classic group of eminent grace and beauty —a further description of which fre quently appears in our advertising columns.

Boss and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as in fallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of thtir establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, nume rous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops gate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfum ers, a ers t , Hair-cutters, and Hair dyers. N.B.

Head-Quarters, Camp, Shahpoor, Jan 17, 1845. (Extract.) In the couree of the tatter part of last summer I reported to you how this frontier had been vexed by the unprovoked attacks made upon Siede by the Doomkee, Jakrainee, and Boogtie tribes. These plunderers had, of late, become more harassing to the frontier posts. They are, as you are aware, subjects to the Khan of Kelat, but are in open rebellion against him. A few weeks ago his Highness attempted to reduce them to obedience. His Highness's wishes are completely with us, and his personal conduct has keen honourable. However, he was unable to effect his pur pose; he had advanced as far as Poolajee, but retired discomfited, followed up by the rebel Beejar Khan to Bhag, which has been plundered. Where the Khan has retired to Ido not at present know ; I suppose to Dadur. On the 13th inst. I left Sukkur with the head-quarters; on the same day, Captain Jacob marched with the Sinde horse and camel corps from Larkhana. Wallee Mahomed, the Chandia chief, with several other chiefs of Belooch tribes, marclud on the 15th from then- various villages; and, on the 16th, Wal:ee Mohamed, ac. cording to the orders which he had received from me, took posses. sion of Poolajee, which was abandoned by the enemy. On the same day Captain Jacob attacked and took Shahpoor ; and, at the same day and hour, Captain Salter attacked Ooch, a post ten miles to the east of Shahpoor. Both of these places are in the midst of the Desert, and the enemy was surprised at both. At both resist. ance was made, and at Ooch about 3,500 head of cattle were taken, the produce of their late plunlering expeditions. Among the rest are the tattoos of the grass cutters belonging to the 6th irregular cavalry, and taken when those unfortunate men were Cut to pieces last summer. goo:, Ch srg st od, t p yt 0 f the t be Op ad 'lB - )f . t he 4 far/ th ° > f • r 1 tio" o i l er the.
