He did not recollect in the 'reticle - Cringe ;.f civil histay of- any en dowed parochial clergy r ffecting any great week ef prssel)tisin. 10 Ireland there were many strong reasons why the clergy should not busy themselves in works of conversion ; they were a visibly endowed clergy and had no great motive for zeal, and accordingly the Bible, through which they meant to proselytise, had not been translated into the Erse language until 123 years after the R e f ormat i on, an d t h en it had not been translated at the expense of the Irish Protestant Church, but at the private expense of that greet and good -man, Robert Boyle. The Right Hors, Gentleman then quoted the opinions of D ean Swift as to th e idl eness an d r i c h e s of the Protestant clergy, and observed that it would be remembered how the revenues of the richest sees in Ireland were squandered on the shores of ,the Medit erranean ; an d hi s ep i s tl es were to be found, not I T Lke those of P e t er t o hi s fl oc ks, but in the correspondence of 'Y Hamilton. What a contrast between the ministers of the one Church and those of another-the one revelling in Wealth, and with nothing to do, and the other visiting the couches of the sick in their wretched cabins, and from scanty means ministering to their temporal as well as spiritual wants. The i Right Hon. Gentleman then quoted the opinions of Mr. e tone regarding the expediency of a State Church, and the Denefits and evils of the voluntary system, and observed that the Irish Church hod exemplified all the evils which Mr. Hume said belonged, not only to the State Church , b ut the voluntary system ; for it had, on the one b and, a wealthy and indolent priesthood, and on the o ther, ministers whose, position forced them into every description of e xcitement and agitation, The Right Hon. Gentleman went On to speak, of the miseries which Scotland for twenty-eight tall had e n d ure d un d er a P rotes tant State Church, when rds Lauderdale and Dundee commanded there, and asked what the condition of Scotland would be, if the established reli- VI of this country were yet kept up in Scotland-the same uter feelings of enmity which existed between the people of Irelandei and England would exist between those of England and b ei ' s t 'and, and England, dhtracted by those divisions, ince?.d of "g first in the rank of nations, would be inferior to many now reh beneath h er i n power, and influence, and dignity . ni what was the result which these proceedings had _4:ought about? Why, that Ireland, instead of proving a p art tdlaiet strength had p rov ed the weakness of the emp ire. n would they think of a physician who having two Patients suffering under precisely the same complaint, had for 4 . long time prescribed the same remedies for both, but having angel his course of treatment, and having found that it Cured Cured very remedy which not only abated the evil, but which . the disease, yet refrained from adopting the same heaveles for the other patient ? They would believe that either s dishonest to his profession, or that he had taken ,hie his senses.

Law, order, and com parative peacefulness now prevailed in Ireland, and though the Right Hon. Gentleman had pot a false construction on the measure of the Right Hon. Baronet. in reference to the agita tion in Ireland and the misundersianding with the United States, he (Sir James Graham) would repeat that this mea sure was determined on, without the slightest reference to either of those events.—(Cheers.) If the Right lion. Gen tleman then was neither authorised nor justified in making these observations, he (Sir James Graham) annealed to the House whether measures of this kind wl, leh flue calculated to soften existing prejudices and extend more amicable feelings, should be blasted by such insinuations ?— (Cheers.) He for one would not envy the success which might attend such efforts.—(Coroinued cheers.) He greatly regretted the course taken by the Hon. Member for Sheffield on this question. What said he of the question before the House ? He conceded that it was a good measure, that it ought to pass, and yet he offered an obstruction to its progress. The Right Hon. Gentleman, the Member for Edinburgh, had said that this was not a mere question of 26,000/., but the real matter at issue was, what Church should reign dominant in Ire land, whether it ought to continue the bad without endeavouring to make it better. The Right Hon. Gentleman, at the same time, had pointed out that there were certain limits beyond which her Majesty's Government should not go. He ( - amid speak fur himself, that no change of opinion, that no argument in that. House would induce him to admit the prin ciple that the Irish Church was an evil in itself, and ought to be abolished. On the contrary, he begged to state that all reflection convinced him, that his most anxious deliberations had confirmed him in the opinion that it was the duty of this country to maintain the Protestant Establishment in Ireland. He did not wish, in a matter of this kind, to spent reproachfully of Gentlemen on the opposite side of the House.—(Hear.) He must say of the Honourable Member for Sheffield, that no one had argued the question with more philosophical discrimination, unless it were the Noble Lord the Member for London, who esirely dissented from the views of the Hon. Member for SNffield. ( Hear, hear.) He did not know what the opinions of the Noble Lord might now be ; but, in 1838, when the Noble Lord brought forward a measure for a change in the property of the Established Church, he dis tinctly repudiated the principle of this mot ioh.—( Hear, hear.) He ( Sir J. Graham) had heard nothing from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Edinburgh to lead him to believe that the destruction of the Established Church in Ireland would be conducive to the prosperity of the country, or productive of more kindly feelings between the two great branches of the em pire.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh bad said that in America there was no Establishes( Church, bet that there the clergy of each religion, and all the sustenances of religion, were better upheld than in countries in which there were established religion, and those well en dowed. But he would ask the House, were the conditions of the two countries to be compared?—( Hear, hear.) He felt, and he was sure the House would agree with him, that to carry out an analogy would be impossible.—( Hear, hear.) That the proposition which the Hon. Member sought to establish— (a laugh )—was impracticable, could be proved by a reference to the fate of those Governments in whose time the Hon. Mem berhad introduced it. Lord Grey's Government bail felt it ini• possible to carry out the principle. Succeeding Governments gave way before the overwhelming difficulty,hut notwithstanding all the taunts thrown in the teeth of that Government, a mea sure relating to education in Ireland was carried without the intervention of the principle which the Hen. Gentleman now, for the fifth time, called upon the House to avow,—(Conser• votive cheers.) There were others mute competent than he (Sir J. t.iialmen) to speak upon this subject, and to go back to the times of the Stiearta l and other times to which reference had been made. He would only say, that the ministers of the Established Church had performed their duty.—(Cheers.) They bad done so tender more trying circumstances than any which could be contemplated by the opponents of this measure. —(Hear, hear.) He admitted that it was the chief object of an Established Church to minister to the religious wants of the whole population. —( Cheers.) But he did net think that the missionary character of the Established Church wooid be im paired by the measure of the Government ; and it was no part of their intentlon to transfer the revenues of that Church to the ;religion of the majority. The principles which he had hitherto avowed he still adhered to.--e( Hear. ) He objected alike to the extreme measures of the Eight Hon. Member for Edinburgh, and the analogous motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Coventry most conscientiously discarded any intention of endowing the Roman Catholic Church in Irelariel. Lord Plunkett stated that he considered that the Protestant Church I in Ireland was the strongest bond of union between the two countries. 411 he would say was this, that he at that time foresaw, whatever their intentions might have been, that ulti mately this would be the consequence which we have arrived at for the first tit:ie.—(Loml cheers,) He understood the Member for Nottingham, ell the motion of the Hon. Member f or ffield, for assistance to the Repeats (catholic tihurch out of the funds a the Protestant Churc h, t o gi ve a denial of any such intention on his pert, Notwithstanding he always foresaw that the inevitable effect of that motion would be the point to which they had now arrived. lie never could agree to that proposition himself, slid cir;.t;tnstepee3 since had led him more and more to consider that pd preposition In a dan gerous one, and he was now better assure the opinions he had already given expression to t he most sincerely and conscientiously adhered, and he was most anxious that the wants of the Roman Catholics should be supplied, and that through the measures they were now eotundgrnig they should rece ive assistance in their education ; but he could notsee that it would not render it more feasible to the Protestants of this country, that that assistance should be rendered through the spoliation of the Protestant Church of Ireland. He would adhere to the opinion which he had heretofore stated, and would decidedly oppose the motion of the Hon. Member for Sheffield. Mr. ROEBUCK said, that when the Right Honourable Baronet opposite undertook to oppose the motion of the Honourable Member for Sheffield, he (Mr. Roebuck) at least expected that he might divulge that some attempt should be made to answer the arguments of the Hon. Gentle man. It did not strike hiia that the Hon. Gentleman had attempted to answer the proposition offered by him..—( Cheers.) The only reason which he could deduce for such a failure in this case was the want of argument to support a cause which the Hun, Gentleman found to crumble beneath him. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Edinburgh stated that the Irish Protestant Church was at that time a worthless church, because it was instituted for purposes which were at this time utterly without value. It was a church which in a large portion of Ireland did not exist. fir, let them under stand the meaning of the word chweel. They were con stantly confounding the word church with church establish ments. They were confounding the payment of a clergy who were giving consolation to a congregation—they were con founding the congregation itself, who constituted that Church, with those pastors who were appointed for the purpose of giving consolation. That was not applicable to Ireland ; for in a large portion of that country there was no Protestant congregation, and it now came to be considered, as the Right Hon. Gentle man had stated, that as this property had failed in its uses, how were they to give assistance but out of the property which remained in their hands ? The Government said it was a matter of high importance that this grant should be made, and the only question raised by the Hon. Member fur Sheffield was, where should she proceeds come irons to supply this grant ? Was it to come from the pockets of the hard-working people of England, or from that portion of property which they had in their hands, of which the Protes tant use had entirely failed? They were not discussing—the Right Hon. Gentleman did not wish to introduce any religious feeling on this occasion; but what did the Right Hon. Gentleman do? He turned round upon those who supported him, and said that they were now coming to touch the Protestant feeling of the people of England, and he himself blows the bellows to excite it.—(Cheers.) They had supported him throughout, to the great risk of themselves, and this was a strange return for the support which they had given him.—( Cheers and laughter.) The Protestant Establishment was faithfully described by his Right Hon. Friend, and had it been attempted to be answered by the Right Hon. Baronet opposite ? Was it not, at this pre sent moment, the great ecclesiastical enormity of Europe ? ( Hear.) Was that description answered by the Right Hon Baronet? What did he do when he found a murmur? He told them to beware how they raised the Protestant hostility of England. How was it that his own allegiance roused that same spirit? They were prepared to meet all that was wrong, all that was biggoted, all that was unjust in the Protestant feeling in England, but they were prepared to sup port the strong feeling of justice on the part of the English people, that that portion of justice which is to be done to Ireland should be done at the least estpense and suffering of the great body of the community • and that was the grand distinguishing mark of the two classes on both sides of the House. It was a shifting, wavering, faltering policy, after the declarations made on the ether side of the House; and it was a sound feeling of kindness and consideration, based upon principles of freedom and liberality, which induced them to support this motion.—(Hear, and cheers.) Why did he make this observation, but that it was called for by the speech which the Right dolt. Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government het made upon the question. He wanted to know what answer the Right Roo. Gentleman had made to the speeches of the Hon. Member for Cork. The answer was admitted by the lion. Member for Dungarvon ; but although that answer might have been pointedly made it was not conclusive. What were the circumstances? " Agi tate, agitate," said the Hon. Member for Cork, to the pesple of Ireland. 4 6 Don't go to England ; it is useless to do that ; but meet me at the monster meetings. Put the Government in danger. Frighten the Prime Minister, Let him lee that if a shadow of a shade of war arise in any part of the world you will coerce him. Trust me, and when England or the Prime Minister is frightened, you may rely upon it Ireland will have iustice done to her. " Yes, that was the language of the Hon. Member for Cork, and what was the speech the Hon. Member for Dun garvon made in that House? Why, it was a reiteration of the declaration of the Hon. Member for Cork, and the course he was now pursuing had a tendency still further to excite and irritate the Irish people. What was the course? Was it to show the Irish people that what was just in time of war was not just in time of peace, or was it to point out the mode of re medying the mischief which had been done by any previous mal. administration ? No : it was to create discontent and make the position of the Prime Minister dangerous in the event of any exigency arising, and thus to snake it dangerous for him to refuse justice to Ireland. Now, he asked the House if these were not the real causes which had produced the conciliating declarations of the Right Hon. Baronet opposite. Much in justice had been done by that Right Hon. Gentleman to the great body of the people of ibis country, as well as to a large majority of that House. They, on that side of the House, and he believed the country at large were supporting a measure of conciliation and conces sion, and not yielding to one of the violent demands which had been made by the lion. Member for Cork, in Ireland, and reiterated in that House by the Hon. Member for Dungarvon. They thought indeed that they had been dealing with the great business of conciliation towards Ireland, until the Right Hop. Gentleman delivered himself of his speech the other evening.—( lipar, hear.) But how had they been deceived? How craftily had the Bight. Hon. lial:opa piclplifyogg4 to cover his object with a flimsy veil winch required but little penetration or examination to see through. The fact was, the Right lion. Ge ntleman had nearly get rid of the difficulties at home, and probably in I reland, by one of happy rqses. Ti l a sudden tu rn of fortune the Right Hon. Gelatieman fancied he bad the'Housfi of Csanimohs with him, and atie grant was inteoded as a sop for the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member foe Cisit. That was a true statement of the case. If the Right Hon. Baronet hid pot discovered a small cloud of war in the west, he would not have been dis turbed. And what was the true interpretation of those words. Why, the Right Hen. Baronet was afraid of a war with Ame • rica.—(Cheers from the Opposition.) That was the long and short pf it.—( Hear, and a laugh.) At the same time, the Right Hon. Gentleman foresaw something like a rebellionin Ireland, contemporaneously With war i n Anieriea. This, then, was the sop to be given to Ireland. It was at least a sort of graceful concession. —(Cheers.) These were not his own words, but the ideas, if not the words, of Government, and he e defied any Man in that Hou se to g et up end mak any other interpretation - Of the speeches which had been Made by the Right Hon. Baronet. Arid what was the answer to those statements and promisee of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department ? Why, he had lded to the statement, aid what was s till more remarkable, h ge e had on the present occasion made an unjust appeal to the Protes tant peeple of England. The Hon. Member for Sheffield had propped tbat the giyucQtb IRV olmild Gone at Of funds. e . _ that were actually unemployed. They were really funds of s necure character, for when the parties died who at present posseseed them, Government would be in possession of means to give a proper education to the Irish people. And how was that preposition met? Why they did not want it to be adopted. They would not censent to disturb the Church Establishment in Ireland, because they said it would not be permitted by the people of England; and the Government, with a true Protestant feeling, would not allow the House to touch it. He was prepared to say the proposition of the Hon. Member for Sheffield would not in the slightest degree injure the Protestant Church in Ireland ; and in using the term Pro testant Church he used it simply in the sense of a congregation, 1 1 and that was the simple explanation given to it by the sup poieers of the Right Hon. Baronet. Now what was the argument used against the proposition of his Hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield ? The Right Honourable Baronet adverted to a celebrated article of David Home. and appeared to think that it was favourable to his own aide. Experience, however, proved that an augmented clergy of a particular church did not increase the ',umber of the congrega tion ; for instance, they had a large number of Protestant priests in Ireland, but the majority of the people belon g ed to a Catholic c ongregation. It wes evident, therefore, that increasing the number of th e clergy wae not supporting the Protestant Church. Nine. tenths of the Protestant clergy to Ireland stood almost alone amidst a Catholic congregation. — ( Cries of " No, no," from the Ministerial side of the House.) Hon. Gentlemen on the other side said " No," but was there any man in that H ouse who had had personal expe rience in the matter , who would stand up and deny what he had said was right ?—( Hear, hear.) Was there any man who could get up and say that in Ireland seven-eights of the whole eongregetien were not of the Catholic persuasion? He was convinced no one could deny it, for in parish after parish every congregation was Catholic. It , would be much better for the Government to say whether de creasing the number of the elesgY would not have e better effect in improving the Prote stant Ch o rd). The y had an op portunity of doing so now , for his H on. Friend the Member for Sheffield proposed that, as a minister di ed o ff , h i s place The should not be supplied.present minister only received his revenue during life, and at his death there was no neces sity for appointing another. Now the means which weeld thus accrue to the Government could be easily applied to the carrying out what the Government seemed to desire, the education of the Catholic people, and thie old uoiy ise This, then, was the argument, that they could no longer main, tain in Ireland by force that which they had too long main, tamed by that means in that country. Hp believed the word used was " Protestant domination," and that that was the thing whieli it was apprehended eoold no longer be upheld by force in Ireland. The Government, seeing that such was the state of affairs, they yielded ; but, as upon every other occasion, they yielded when it it was too late.—( Hear, hear,) Met, ha been always their policy and their penalty, they fried to do good when it was too late to do it with any effect.—(Hear, hear.) They had not the courage to do right—they were in dread to do it ; lent it tees a feeling of dread that e 5 ado them do it in the end,—(Hea,r, hear.) That was not the way to do justice to Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) He had never been hostile to the present Qevernmerit ; but he would sqy it was hopeless to expect they would do justice if they waited to do it upon pt inciples of terror—( Hear, hcar)—and when they were terri fied a little snore they would go on doing what they ought to have done long ago. He had heard so mach about this ques tion of the Church property, that he would like to ask a ques tion in regard to it, namely, " Who made this property Was it not the Homan Catholics, far Roman Catholic pur peses?—(Checrs)—bet property which had been directed by Protestant power tq Protestant purposes.—(Cheers,) But now that the Protestant interest bad died out, it was only fair to apply it to the very useful purpose of teaching the Irish people.—( Hear, hear.) Tie would With to know why they should not b t s so applied? He had not heard any reason why they should not, ' as an earnest of their intention to do justice to Ireland.—( I-4ear, hear.) And now what was the real diffe rence between the Right Hon. Baront's proposition sod the epprcprietiop clause? It was simply what was called the Pro testant principle. Hon. Members opposite said that this was a proposition which, if it originated with Protestant Ireland, might be consistent, but it should not have originated with Protestant England, But the attack having been commenced in England, the assailants hid themselves behind their excesses in Ireland. —( Hear, hear.) Now, either this was a question as to a great question, or it was not. It was one which asserted that England was about to make a proposition for the education of the people of Ireland, and the means were to be had without injury to any one ; and, therefore, he called upon them to agree to the grant, if they wished to pacify Ireland, fir H. PEEL said he would he very unwilling that the Haase should seperate until he had protested against the gross iris-statements and misrepresentations he had heard of what had fallen from him upon the discussion of this question the other night. Upon that occasion he did abstain from all party recrimination. He said he brought forward this measure on the part of her Majesty's Government, conscious that it would be well received in Ireland. He slated the feelings of grati tude with which it has been hailed In that country.—( Hear.) Ile did then, and would now deprecate with anxiety the chance of a failure of this measure.—(Hear, hear.) He knew well that the suceess of the measure did depend upon Hen. Gentlemen opposite, and that with them rested the question whether the measure should succeed or not. ( Hear, hear.) He said then, and he would say now, that he iiteant tie do ample justice, as far as it was in his power, to the motives of those Hon. Members who had voted against the measure, se well as (howl who had voted for it. He stated further, upon that occasion, that he knew well that many of those who had given their support to the Government had done so at the risk of displeasing their constituents. lie also stated that many others who had voted in favour of the mea sure had done so at the risk of losing their seats for ever. He did pet arrogate to himself or to those who sat with him on that side of the House, the origin of this measure. On the contrary, he stated that it would have been much better if it had come from those who had been well known to be uniform friends of the Roman Catholics,—(Hear, hear.) He was perfectly willing to take upon himself all the consequences of the dis pleasure that he might have incurred, this he stated on Friday night, and he added upon that occasion ' 1 Visit the Minister if you will, but let not your displeasure fall upon the measure itself."—( Hear, hear,) It would be base indeed, if they were to attempt to throw the onus of the support they had received upon the opposite side of the House, for the indig nation it had created should be visited on that side alone. He was surprised at the mode in which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman commented upon this subject. The measure re ceived his support on the second reading. He was perfectly aware of the nature of the measure. He ( Sir R. Peel) ex plained fully that it .'.as his intention to provide the funds out of the public revenue, and he had never given him reason to suppose that ho would consent to the diminution of the funds of the Established Church. He had never sanctioned the opinion that they would, during any stage of the measure, con sent to the appropriation of the revenues of the Established Church. —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was perfectly aware of the principle of the proposition of her Majesty's Government. He (Sir R. Peel) gave the Hon. and Learned Gentleman full credit for the motives by which he was actuated, for he was aware of the strong feeling which prevailed in the city which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman represented on this subject, and the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, was ready, as others were ready, to incur the risk 'of supporting the second reading. The lion. and Learned Gentleman said that he stated that the measure was brought forward in consequence of the agitation of Mr. O'Connell. He (Sir R. Peel) stated directly the reverse. He stated that during the prevalence of that agitation they combated it by the law, that they succeeded in Ireland at least in their appeal to the law, that the consequence was a suspension of the agitation, at least, so far as the immense meetings tending to disturb the public peace were concerned. After this determination to vindicate the law, and after those meetings were suspended, they considered whether some other measures might not be adopted which would be likely to afford a more permanent remedy to Ireland than the application of physical force.—(Hear, hear.) They, therefore, proposed a measure making better provision for charitable endowments. That measure with the exception of some opposition from a few Roman Catholics, received the general assent of the House. Were they then taunted with having yielded to intimidation-- were they not then told that the course they were taking was a wise course? It was not said that there was anything undigni fied or dangerous in that course. They were supported by some ecclesiastical dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church who were opposed to the repeal agitation. Mr. O'Connell never asked for the endowment of Maynooth—Conciliation Hall never asked for it. But a great number of the Roman Catholic clergy and laity, who, seeing the spirit in which the Govern ment were inclined to act, and that the Executive were inclined to act in a friendly spirit, asked for this measure ; and it was more in deference to their opinion, than to any threats or inti midations that they brought it forward.—( Hear, hear.) Nor did they bring it forward in consenience of their relations with the United States ; for it might be recollected that he had given notice soon after the suspension of agitation, voluntarily and without necessity—without any person calling upon bins to do so, that he was ready to run the risk of exciting Protestant feelings in this country, and dise tinetly declaring that during the present session he would bring forward the subject of academical education ; and that he would, at the same time, bring the subject of Maynooth un der the consideration of the House. Did he not add, at the time time, that they would act, not in an adverse but in a friendly spirit ? And did not any person who heard him know that it was his inten ion to improve that institution? He therefore brought forward the measure. He had abstained from noticing the attack of the Right Hon. Gentleman oppo site; and he seemed to he disappointed that he (Sir Robert Peep hail passed it over. He would tell the Right Hon. Gentleman the reasons why he did so. He knew that the success of the measure depended upon the votes of Hon. Gentlemen in that House ; and it was not for him to alienate that support by party attacks. lie thought it much snore consistent with his duty, to act in that way, being ready to take the consequences of the success or of the failure of this measure. Feeling deeply satisfied after proposing this measure, that the public interests required that it should be passed, was it not more becoming his position that he should concentrate every effort to the passing of the measure rather than provoke party attacks or promote party recriminatiens?—(Cheers.) Powerful as were the talents of the Right Hon. Gentleman, great as were his abilities, yet he could assure him it was not from any fear of a conflict with him that induced him to forbear.— (Cheers. ) It was that sense of public duty with regard to the importance of the measure, and the effects which its failure would produce in Ireland, that had led him, after maturely considering what course he should take, to do that which would best promote Humiliating gk that Thehe Rightshould H p o r n oin G o teen thintle the success of the measure ; but the Right lion. Gentleman t ic l e iu h rn is c m o a m n p a e l s l k e e d d h , him s to i r u n n o t measure? Ile felt no humiliation--(Cheers)—he felt no humiliation in discharging a public duty—but he should feel humiliated if, believing this measure to be of importance to the welfare of Ireland, he shrunk from proposing it, because they might charge him with inconsistency.—(Cheers.) But if he believed it to be a measure calculated to do good in Ireland— calculated to engender kinder feelings between the two coun tries—so far from feeling any humiliation in proposing it, he owned to the Right Hon. Gentleman that he felt perfectly satis fied with the motives and with the act. —(cheers,) The I , ,nmilietien Would he if lie shrunk trout performing a public duty from any fear of the Right Hon. Gentleman hunting out seine passages of his, and charging him with incon sistency. He supported the grant to Maynooth when out of office. In 1840 he voted with the Right H onou rable Gentleman, and § , Ooke in favour of it when he Was silerit.'—(lleei,tear.) Ho objected to the withdrawing of the vote. Where was then the inconsistency in supporting it now?—( Hear, hear.) They wished to improve the build ing, extend the aecomrstodatioo, eleyete the education, give a dehnt allowance to the teachers of youth—where, then, he repeated, was the inconsistency of now supporting a measure for the continual - 1:e of whichhe had uniformly voted? The Right Hon. Gentleman said that those who voted fur 9,0001. could not refuse to vote for the 26,000/., and besides that it yzae ellsord iss those Who would votelor a salafy to professors to vote only for a sum which would keep them in a starving condition. It was the Right Hon. Gentleman himself who said so, and yet he accused the Government of inconsistency in proposing a grant which would give increased comfort to those residing at Maynooth, merely Because, instead of heing small i en a d r aniftsal; the. giant wotild be increased and permanerin-ltlee , ea ,.. ti ea ' 'O l did not then reply to those observations h t. h e Right 01.1.

He would have said this was the time, and that if they hen done so the Opposition would have given the Government all the support in their power.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")

Ile had anticipated that this measure would have the effect of increasing the good-will be tween the several clas:cs in Ireland, and he thought that the expressions of good will with which it had been hailed in the Home would haae the effect of allaying the discontent which then prevailed in Ireland. That the measure was not yielded to agitation was evident from the power which the Government had shewn to contend with agitation. And what was said with respect to America ? Was it not evident that the proceedings of America had not the slightest influence on the decisions on this question, and to which the Hon. Member who intro shined this question had not made the slightest reference. What, did the lion. Member intend to lay the great stress of his argument on taking a sum of such paltry amount as 26,000/. from the Consolidated Fund, for effecting such a great purpose as the conciliation of Ireland ? He (Sir Robert Peel) believed, that the intentions of the Government would be plainly understood, and he would not attempt to justify this grant by any reference to the compact with the Esta blished Church in Ireland. He would take a more enlarged view of Establishments in general ; nor would he on the nar row ground which had been proposed, attempt at all to prove anything in support of the Established Church. He might cite the opinions of Sir J. Newport, Lord Plunkett, and others, to show that the appropriation of such a sum would in no way infringe upon the claims of the Established Church.—( Hear. ) Thu Hon. Member who had introduced this motion had ex pressed a fear that the whole of the principles in which the Government had acted would be misunderstood in Ireland.— ( Hear, hear.) But he (Sir R. Peel) had reason to say that the present impression in Ireland was highly satis'actory, as showing the impression that was prevailing throughout that country of the kindness and good will with which the present Government were disposed to act towards it.--( Hear, hear.) He must confess that one of the motives that had induced this grant was the hope that it would lead to a greater interchange of good will between the Catholic and Protestant portion of the popelation. _ o ( Hear, hear.) He believed that it tveuld not he looked upon by the Irish peoe' as a measure of concession to their fears, but as an in ,: ~,e kindly feeling on the part of the Government e- • ...cation of this country,—( Hear, hear.) He tb ". - eg . ht that there people of as many petitions presented fry;,, the Protestantsof had Ireland bee.n in favour of the measure"..; against it — (Cheers)—a n d he did think it most honettre'o'le to the feelings of the Irish Protestants that they had come forward not to oppose the measure, but to sup pert it. They had called it a measure liberal and j ust towar d; their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects--(Cheers)—a n d he did believe that if the House approved this measure, and the spirit in which it was proposed, it would have the effect of propitia ting the Protestants of Ireland.—( Great cheering.) The-Pro testants of Ireland did not certainly expect that they would take the revenues for the support of Maynooth from the Irish Church, net that they cared for the money —the sum of twenty-six thousand pounds was a minor considera tion —they rejeioed in the Government measure as a proof of kindly feelings towards their fellow countrymen, but it would certainly be somewhat dishonourable were they to exact the sum required for the support of this institution from the funds of the Irish Church, He thought that the kindly feelings evinced by the Protestants would in this case meet with a very ungenerous return. He utterly denied the justice of the mea sure proposed by the Hon. Member for Sheffield. If he had been diverted from the course he had intended to pursue in this debate, if he had said one word which was calculated to throw any impediment in the way of Hon. Members on the other side, who had been prepared to support this measure of the Government, he deeply regretted it. But he felt that after the language used by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Edinburgh, it would be necessary for him to justify thus far the meanre of the Government. He gave credit to the sincerity of the mo tives which induced Hon. Members on that side to vete on that measure. He acknowledged and he gave them credit for their enelform advocacy of the Catholic claims ; still he was most anxious that this measure should receive their sanction. The motion of which his Hon. Friend the Member for the University of Cambridge had given notice seemed intended to solicit the votes of all who could by possibility be opposed to the Government measure.—(Load cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) And, looking at the motion which his Hon. Friend had put on record, he found that its ob ject was not to insure an annual vote, but that the sum required for this grant should not be paid out of the Consolidated Fund.—(Hear, hear.) His Hon. Friend might have objected to the increase of the vote, but, instead of that, his Hon. Friend had given notice of a motion which would compel Hon. Members—he should say which would al most compel lion. Members —to vote with him.—( Cheers. ) The motion was to this effect, that the fund for Maynooth should not be taken out of the Consolidated Fund. It was not that the vote should be an annual one. [The notice of the Honourable Member for the University of Cambridge upon the paper was here handed the Right Honour able Baronet.l He found that the motion was thus:— that the several sums proposed to be payable shall not be charged upon or payable by the Commissioners of her Majes ty's Treasury out of the Consolidated Fund. It was not as he had already stated that the vote should be an annual one; but that it should not be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. If he could succeed by a combination of parties of extremely opposite views iii defeating this measure. Now, he hoped that those who would assist the Hon. Member in thus defeating it, would do so upon principle. He would have thought it perfectly con sistent, if his lion. Friend had objected to any increase of the vote, if he had proposed a motion in opposition to that increase of the vote, and taken the sense of the }louse upon it. But was it fair that he should place such a motion as this upon the paper, and he trusted that those Hon. Members who agreed with the principle of the Government measure, but who were opposed to the mode in which Govern meet proposed to raise this fund—lie trusted that they would think it better, considering the state of public feeling in Ireland, to ensure the passing of the meastwe, rather than its defeat. Ile did not believe that any permanent good to any party would arise from a combination of men of such opposite principles, and he hoped, therefore, that, even if the maj city of that House did not entirely approve of this measure, yet, that, in consideration of the circum stances under which it was brought forward, they would prefer the passing of the measure to its failure, and that they would support her Majesty's Government in this case, and afterwards if indeed they felt inclined to censure the conduct of the Ministry, then they might with some app earance of con sistency oppose them. Th e Government were perfectly pre pared to abide by the measure. He had thought' it better to encounter the storm of public opinion, than shrink from the performance of a public duty. The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amidst great cheering, the expression of which it was vary difficult to define, but amidst the storm of cheers and counter chee rs Lor d, .)it seemed that the Liberal party pnsidredominated. . RUSSELL (who was for a coerable time inter rupted by the efforts of Mr. Colquhoun to be heard, amidst loud cries of " Order") said that he did not wish for one moment to detain the House for this night or to lead to an adjournment.—( Hear. ) But hn .o h n ad A tready stated that he would support the motion of thMember t e he H disCussi of for Sheffield ; and be thought it right, before s his duty to say that, Cheers. ) And he this night closed, to state his reason . thought, at the same time , that it was Learned Member for the motion of the Honourable and Id give it his r for Cambridge was brought forward, he woe further, and de cided negative .—( Cheers .) He would go the - M be for say, that if the motion of his Hon. Friend em r Shef field was not acceded to, he would give the utmost support in his power to any motion which would have the effect of carrying out the same principle.—(Cheers.) He had no wish to obstruct her Majesty's Ministers in the measure which they lied proposed; but he believed, if they had not been supported by those who agreed with him, they would not hose held the position which they now held.— (Cheers.) He agreed with his Right lion. Friend, the Se cretary of State, that when they had been so long in the wrong, they might ultimately be right. He did not agree with those who said that if this grant were acceded, the Roman Catholics should have no further claim. He did not agree with those who said that the claims of the Roman Catholics of Ireland could terminate in any grant.—( Cheers.)

DEATH OF SIR GEORGE HosTE, C.8.--This dis tinguished o ffi cer, who tilled the important office of Colonel- Commandant of the Corps of Royal Engineers at Woolwich, expired at his residence, Mill-hill, Woolwich-common, on Monday evening, at ten minutes before six o'clock, of the combined attacks of asthma and gout, under which he has suffered for about four months so severely as to render it necessary for him to remain in bed in an erect position to prevent suffocation. His age was, we believe, 76 years. Sir G. Hoste entered the corps of Roy , al Engineers in the year 1802, having been gazetted Second Lieutenant on the 20th December, and on the fallowing day, December 21st, was promoted to First Lieutenant.
