The loving cup baring been announced by Mr. Harker w ith due emphasis— "after grace, th e fi rst toast given was of course that of The Queen," to which a most loyal reception was given., The LORD MAYOR then, in brief and appropriate terms, proposed 4 The Lord Chief Justice of England a n d her. Majesty's Judges," Lord CA3IPBELL, in his own nape and that of :he Judges, returued thanks for the honour"which had been conferred on them. ' They had always felt the greatest pleasure in accepting the invitations of the Lord Mayor, and it gave them high satisfaction to think that their conduct had been approved of by the chief magistrate of the city and their fellow-citizins. That approbation was the highest reward that could be conferred on them fa- their labours and anxieties. It gave him great satisfaction to think that there had 'al ways existed a strong and intimate connexion between the. Judges and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen. From ancient times there had been a s -.court of criminal jdriiidiction in the City, over which the Lord Mayor pre sided, and when that court met the judges had much pleasure in mixing with the magistrates of the City. They went together, on solemn occasions, to the cathe dral of St, Paul to offer up their -prayers to the Al mighty. Again, at the festive board, they bad, the pleasure of being iavited to the 'Mansion-house and' the Guildhall to partake of the elegant hospitality of the City. In former times that hospitality used to be re ciprocated by the Sergeants, • but he was sorry that of late years Out cu , touci had fallen into disuse. He re joiced in the prospect which existed that . the ancient festivities were to h e revivel—(Latiglver)—}or he had read in the iiewspop,rs—and ther,fore it must be true— that the Society ot, the Middle Temple were about to give a grand dinner and ball In the illuarious foreigner's alembied on our shore - ,, to the Lord Mayor and Al dermen of the city of London, and to the magistrates. Barristers would once more dance round the bonfire, and the grave Lord ICeePer would again open the ball, the seals and the mace of office dancing along with him.— (Much laught , r.) Thus "would the festivities of Queen Beis be revived in the reign of Queen Victoria.— (Cheers.) But even if these visions should not be re alitijd the judges would always retain a moat grateful and , pleasing recollection of the hospitalities of the Mansion-house. The LORD MAYOR then gave as a toast, and in highly complimentary terms to the Noble Lord, "Lord Crari worth and the House of Peers." Lord CRANWORTH returned thanks, and in doing so said that he was, with one exception, the youngest mem ber-of the House of Piers. -He believed, however, that whatever might be its defects, it was an deeply roofed in the affections of the country. To confess that it di e d not always diicharge its duty was but acknowledg ing that it was a human institution. He considered the House . of Pe , rs eminently qualified for the part which they took in the Constitution, and he hoped for hi mse lf that,he would ne ver d o discredit to such a body. Al luding to what bad fallen' from Lord CompbEll, with re ference to the disuse into which the ancient festivities of Serjeant's Inn had fallen, he thought the Noble and Lettened Lord had come to a lame conclusion in not an nouncing that the Sergeants, of whom he was the head, and among whom he had great influence, were to eet the example in reviving those testivities.—(Laughter.) Lord CAMPBELL proposed " Tee health of the Lord Mayor," and in doint , so alluded to th e hi g h o pi n i on which was entertain e d abroad of the importance of his Lordship's office. He quoted as an illustration of this a story which he had heard from Sir J., Romilly. A dia. tingulikhed foreign nobleman once said t',) him, " I hope you may one day r e ach the o ffi ce o f Lord I.l..yor— (Laugh ter)—and, if not, at all events; that you may come be- Lord Chancellor." lie gave the health of the Lord*Mayer as a man of high honour, of great suavity of manner, and as actuated by an earnest desire to serve his country. The': LORD MAYOR, baying returned thanks, pro posed " The health of Dr. Lnshington," who, after ac knowledging the Compliment, gave as a toast "The Lady Mayoress." The ladies then withdrew, and after a succession of toasts, among 'which were " The g a r of England," to w hi c h Sergeant Manning replied, and "The Governor of the Bank of the teyta guglatermd," responded to hy Mr. T.

Lord LYTTELTON presented two petitions from the inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land, or, as they styled themselves, the inhabitants of Tasmania, against the transportation of criminals to the Australian colonies; and he bad a memorial to present to her Majesty, signed by many thousands of the female inhabitants of the colony, against transportation. In the Australian colo nies there existed a leaeue against the transportation of oriminals.—(Hear.)• This was among the first fruits of the successful, resistance to the plan of trans portation by the colonists at the Cape of Good Hope. This was a most grave considered n, this resist ance of the Australian colonists to transportation. He found no fault with the Government; but he thought the evidence they had, as to the manner in which the experiment bad worked, was worthy of grave considera tion. How had the experiment of transportation an swered? At present, all the penal part of the punish ment was iefleted at home, anti then they were removed to Van Diemen's Land with tickets of leave. Now that system had not, and could not have any beneficial effect upon criminals at home. The Go vernor of the colony, who had expressed the greatest de ire that the experiment should succeed. had urged thst ell t he' convicts should pass a period of compulsory lab_ ur in the colony, instead t.f being sent out with tickets of leave. In answer to this statement, the Noble Earl the Colonial Secretary had said that with regard to Irish convicts, seeing that no means existed of inflicting refor matory punishment on such criminals in Ireland, it might perhaps be advisable that they should suffer the second portion of their punishment in the colony. The evi dence as to the condition of female convicts in that colony reported it to be most deplorable; he doubted whether they had not sufficient evidence before them as to the failure of the experiment; and their could not be a doubt but that the great majority of the inhabitants of the colony were spins; transportation. There wore certain portions of the itthabitan's who might be called the convict interest, and woo were opposed to the free inbahitants of the colony, and the fact of the existence of this convict interest was, as he thought, most dangerous. The Assembly of New South Watts had decided, without a division, against a renewal of tran.portation, and a petition ag , inst transportation had been presented to the Legislative Council, signed by 36.000 persons, sgainst a petition in its fav o ur s i gne d by only 525. The Governor of Van Dieuueii'a Land htd Baia that those convicts who had come from Parkhurst Prison with the best characters had turned out the worst of the transports. Was it possible to torus a good and virtu ous community out of such elements? In a moral re spect the presence of tees° convicts must had to the moral and spiritual polluting of the colonies, however it might forward their material inte rests; thus, we took advantage of the material pressure upon the material interests of the colonies, to iestroy their moral and spiritual interests. He pressed he iutjeet upon the consideration of the Government, and hoped that a better system would be adopted. Every memorial from Van Diemen% Laud had upbraided the Government with a promise made in 1847. that transportation to that colony should cease; and the Noble Earl had said, that although some such ex pression might have found its way into a dispatch, yet that no such promise could have been given. Bat ne remembered that in 1846 the Noble Earl hack sent out a dispatch to Sir W. Denison, in which he expressed a hope that he should be enabled to do away with trans portation to the colony ; and shortly afterwards Sir G. Grey had intimated an opinion that the transportation of male convicts to that colony should cease, and proposing that persons sentenced to transportation should, after undergoing a term of impri sonment, be permitted to deport themselves, thus substituting exile for transportation, and the Secretary for the Colonies, in a ' dispatch to:Sir W. Denison which was communi cate d by the Go vernor to the Legislature, said that aft e r the e xpirati o n of two year s transportation would not be renewed. He could not see why the Government should not revert to the original plan of inflicting all the punishment in this country, and of the permitting the convict to depart himself with the money he had earned to any part of the world he liked. The Archbishop oeDUBLIN felt called upon on the pre sent occasion to bear testimony to the working of the peni tentiary system established at the Mountjoy depot in Ire land. He had been invited to go that penitentiary to hold a confirmation, and he went because the prisoners could not go to the parish church. It was impossible for him to speak too highly of Mr. Blacker, the excellent minister who had charge of the Protestant convicts. That Rev. Gentleman had informed him, that out of 30 or 40 convicts about to sail for the colonies several desired and were in a fit state to be con firmed. He had himself examined them all, and it appeared to him that the moral system and discipline of that peni tentiary had solved one of the most difficult problems in pe nal legislation. The punishment was felt by the prisoners as severe on account of the separate and silent system, and it did not appear to have injured their intellee's or to have impaired their health. Silence, labour, and cleanliness were enforced, and opportunities of instruction were afforded to the prisoners. A large number of the prisoners who had left the depot were able to read and write, although when they came there they did not know the letters of the alphabet. The confinement appeared to him ta be so complete as to be ban r fide a very severe punishment as well as as reformatory one. Indeed the hopes which Mr. Blacker entertained of a zeal reform were most encouraging, but at the same time he expressed his regret that the prisoners, though well quallfuct for a society of average morality, were about to be sent toe country in , which the great mass of the population were contaminated, and that they would have to undergo a more fiery ordeal than they could be expected to sustain. that exception, the system seemed to be sufficient to deter and to reform. He should have been grateful if he could have said that his opinions had changed, or if his predictions had been falsified on this question; but he could not say that they had. All accounts from the colony only confirmed his most 'dismal apprehensions. It had been said that the reports of the Committee were one-sided. In a certain sense that might be the case, but it they were one sided it was because tne evidence was one-sided, and if the evidence was me-sided, it was because the facts had been one-sided. :Nevertheless ; ' as far as 'he Mountjoy experiment :tad been tried, be thought he was warranted in saying that it had solved um of t.la4 most difficult problems connected with the questidn. Earl GREY.thouglit he would best consult the conveni ence of their Lordships by confining his observations to one or two of the principal points touched on in the speech of the Noble Lord. It had been stated more than once that any .system of punishmentectiffined to this country rendered the lapse of convicts into crime an inevitable result. The Noble Lord who hadprecedecl him in office had called their Lord ships' attention to that.fact. There could be no doubt that convicts discharged from the Penitentiary, anxious to get work anti to do well, had been dragged back to crime by falling in with some of their old associates. The present system was toemove the convict to the colonies after he had Undergone a-certain term of imprisonment and labour at home. The Right Rev. Prelste had alluded to the Mount joy Penitentiary, which was on the model of that of Pen touville. There wad, however, one circumstance connected with the' system at that Penitentiary, which could not be overcome, and that was its effects on the intellect and health f the pri.obers. All the medical me-, agreed in opinion, and the experience at Pentonville confirmed that o inion, that 18 .utuathe was the maximum which human nature could bear of that very stern and severe system. Even that period ceuld3not be undergone without the closest attention from the chaplain and matical officer. la many cases 12 in-nths was as long a period as the system could be perse vered with. There were, however, criminals who could tee De let off with merely 13 months' imprisonment.— (11. sr. ) According) !'the present system, which he thought by far the best systetni was adopted. After a period of separate con finement tlie'eonvicts were sent to public works at Portland, darmuda, and Gibraltar, and there employed under strict re gulations. He knew not if any of their * Lordships had seen those work. If not, he would advise them to visit them. Although the sight of human beings undergoing punishment was at all times painful, he was gratified on visiting Port land to seethe busy appearance of the place, the good con duct of the men, the little discipline that was required, and the immense amount of useful labour peifermed. The pri soners ware employed under engineer officers, and were sti. mutated by.the expectation of sborteuing ny good cent* their perio - tt(,f probation. Indeed, so greisi was that stimuluS that men even unwell would rather go with the gangs than remain at home. He had seen one man who had gone out with his gang before he had recovered from a very serious accident. The next step in the punishment of the convicts was their &morsel to the colony on what were called tickets of leave. The Noble Lord had eked why the original plan had not been adhered 'to? Experience was against it. It , was found that the prisoners, after having b.en under a strict system of discipline in this, country, were not able withstand temPtittion when they became their own masters in the colony. They were now granted tickets of leave. and were dispersed in the more distant pars of the colony, where they were usefully employed as shepherds and in other occupations. The results, as far as they had been ascertainel, were satisfactory. At first there was no means of carrying the punishment into effect in this country in the way it ought to 04 carried into effect; but that defect was now in a great measure remedied. The Noble Lord said that GOvernmect had broken their promise to the Governor of Van Diem, rt's Land. He thought it was clesr from the Noble Lord's Own showing that no promise had been violated. The Noble Lod said that the first eons. rnunication whica he (Earl Grey) had made to the goveitor wa s i s September, 1846, three months atter he came into office, and that the substance of his consinnnication was that he could give lain no information. as to the penal system to be adopted unfit the decision of the Government and Parlia ment had teen pronounced.—( Hear, hear.) A few months afterwards the views of the Government were embodied in an elaborate letter from Sir Ge,.rge Grey to him; and he stated that It was not the present intention of the Govern ment that, it the expiration of two ye ra, transportation to Vau Diemen's Land should be resumed. (Lord Lyttelton made an otnervation, which was not heard in the gallery.) It wa a -sri,take to suppose that the executive could do what it pleased in a question such as this. Early in 1.47 a Noble and Learred Lord not at present In this country moved for &Committee on the subject, ana an opinion was expressed that the Government were wrong in what they had Propose 4. Concurrent with that opinion, a general ex pression wail received ftom the colonie4 that the convicts should not 5e sent as exiles, but rather under some species of m64ified control. He had no hesitation in stating that; the intention was to remove then as exiles, and to send them to as rainy of our colonies as poSsible. For many years it had been tlie practice in Bermuda to give pardons to con victs for good behaviour, and on condition that they went to some other country. Very recently some of these, men had Worked their fassage to the United States; but on gettivg there they found that a law recently passed prohibited any shipowner bringing convicts to that country, and accordingly they were tali -. 4a back do Bermuda. Lie agreed with the tbt Mr. HUME tirese:;:ted a petition, from Arbros ire tnvour 0 in- Bill. Mr. LII - 1(215 , 1 A R thi.n rose to move the following arm-mimeo' :—" 1.

THE TURKISH SHIPS AT SPITHEAD.-- Yesterday morning their Excellencies Geenaleddin Pacha, Lieutenant-General (and brother-in-law, of the Sultan), and Mustapba Pacha. vice Admiral of the Turkish navy, arrived here by express train from London, and were received a the station by Com mander Sir G. Webster, Bart. Their Excellencies' visit was strictly incognito; they proceeded immediately on board the frigate Mirat Zafir, mustered and inspecied h-r, after which they visited the brig for the same purpose. The inspections lasted four hours. The progress the crews of these vessels have made in gunnery, and the general good conduct of their officers and crews during their prolonged stay in this country, elicited their Excellencies' warmest commendations, and Com mander Sir G. Webster received their thanks for his uncle. viating attention to his charge. As a mark of their satisfaction, all the mates serving in these vessels (four in the frigate and two in the brig) were promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and the petty officers and some of the crew received similar proofs of approbation. Their Excellencies returned to town by the 6.30 P. 24. express train ; but it is their intention to pay a visit to our dock yard before they leave England. The steam-frigate Feiza Baari is undergoing repairs at Woolwich, and will be ready in about a fortnight's time, when these distinguished visitor., will return to Constantinople in her. The lower masts and bowsprit of the frigate Alirat Zafir, which were known to be defective some time ago, have been. surveyed this morning, and rerorted rotten. Application will therefore be made to this dockyard for a new set, and she will probably re urn into harbour early next week for the pur pose of taking in her new ones, The Bey, although aware of their state, did not like to take the responsibility of ap. p:ying for a nee' set without the sanction of his Admire:, although urged to do so by Sir G. Webster three months ago. We regret to add that one of the sentries on board the Mirat Zafir, whilst walking his post on the forecastle during Wednesday night, fell overboard, and although the alarm was immediately given, and boats lowered, he sank before they could: reach him, being encumbered by his great coat and accoutrements. The body has not yet been picked up. SHIP NEWS, VESULS SPOKEN W nu.

MAY 10, IASI, Noble Lord that it was dew ihie to disperse those nien e ,enti to rid them of their convict character as far as possible; bat two obstacles' hal presented t hemselves—Parliament had _disapproved of the plan, and neither the United States hoe our colonies would admit them.—(clear. ) Toe question, therefore, was, what was to be done? His firm conviction wag, the difficulty now experienced was a difficulty of a temporary kind. If we improved our ex• isting system, and well watched it, he believed they would have the Australian colonies, now so averse to convicts, con testing with each other for these very convicts ( [leer.) To show that the colonies were not so averse to convicts, he would state that, in a petition from Van Diemen's Land, it tray stated that the discontinuance of traesportation to V,II Diemen's Land would be ruinous to the colony. In Botany Bay a meeting had been held at which the squatters, or sheep farmers, were all in favour of the resumption of transportation to the colony. This was proof that the colonies were not so averse to convicts as represented. In Western Australia he had received a pri , ate letter describ ing the manlier in which the experiment of moving. convicts to Western Australia had succeeded. The gentleman stated that had it not been for the arrival of convicts the place in another year would have been abandoned. So great had been the advantage, that at Freemantle the water frontage had been sold for a guinea a foot. This was one of the results of sending convict labour to that portion of Australia. And the convicts also conducted themselves in the very best and most exemplary manner. Oue of the labours in which these convicts were employed was in building a prison for themselves.—(Loud laughter.) The convicts who had eb tained tickets of leave had conducted themselves so well as to merit the approbation of all. He was satisfied that such would be the benefits of the policy that a flourishing district would appear where all before was a desert.—(Hear, hear.) He was bound to add that lie deeply lamented the necessity that had been imposed on her Majesty's Government of sending so many convicts to Van Diemen's Land. He admitted that the true policy was to disperse the convicts as widely as possible. The measures of her Majesty's Government had been directe i to the send ing as few co viets as possible to Van Diemen's Land, and to send only those whose characters were of the beat descrip tion. He was happy to say there was a prospect of sending within the next six months only half the usual number to that c' bony. He was bound, however, 0 express his strong opinion that the colony hai 1;0 right to expect the discon tinuance - f sending convicts there until it could be done without inconvenience to the mother country. He consi dered that the convict system had been the making of that and the Australian colonies. It was owin sto the convict system that the colonies possessed roads that could not be surpassed in England. He considered that Van Diemen's Land had experienced all the advantages of the penal sys tem ; that colony was, therefore, not entitled to turn round and say the system should be discontinued as soon as it suited the colonists to say so. The colony had no right to take such a position. While the interests of Van Diemen's Land should not be neglected, Government at the same time would take care that the interests of the mother country were also protected. The Bishop of SALISBURY bore testimony to the ge neral efficiency of the present convict system. Portland was in his idocese; there were I,SOO convicts there, many of whom had been convicted of grave offences—and it was im possible to see this large number eng ,ged in works of util ty without indulging in hopes of their ultimate reformation. He, however, should be deceiving th e i r L or d s hi ps if h e sa id he entertained any sanguine hopes of the reformation of cri minals of mature years. He could well believe that the in stitution at Portland might effect good, but he doubted in cases where the punishment bad not been sufficient in the first establishment, whether the system at Portland was eufficiently penal reform offenders. If the present system could be etretrually carried out it would prove as efficacious as any other; but then to put the system thoroughly into practice was attended wi h immense difficulty. The Bishop of OXFORD said that much that the Noble Lord had said that eight had given him pain. The paramount evil of transportation was, that it attempted to plant new na tions with the basest of mankind. He regretted the Noble Earl (Earl Grey) had lent tue weight of his name to sanction this—the master-evi of the present system of convict trans plantation. Moral pollution was almost a necessary conse quence of the presence of convicts in new coloeies. Critni nals should not be placed in circumstances under which, if they proved useful servants, almost any amount of irregu larity and misconduct was tolerated. To create a penal colony was a groat sin in a civilized and enlightened country. The colonies bad a right to object to the preseit system. To plant colonies of criminal men was the seed of evil in the earth, and what no Christian country was justified in doing. Lord MONTEAGLE was prepared to say that upon reason and from experience, and looking at the thing as a whole, the present system of diffusing convicts throughout the world, if properly conducted, was benefiting both the home country and our colonies. There was an overloaded labour market at home. The removing these criminals re lieved the honest and industrious at home. There was a deficiency of labour in the colonies, and supplying that waist was a benefit to the colonies. It was said that if convicts were sent abroad, there was a chauce of their meeting their old associates, but if they were kept at hcme there was a certainty of meeting them. Abroad there were nu merous instances of the reformation and subsequent pros perity of convicts. The principle of sending convicts abroad was a recognised evil, but it was an inevitable evil. It was impossible to carry on the administration of criminal Justice without the power of expatriation in some form or other. Much of the evil that had arisen on this subject had been caused by the interineddling of Parliament. He wished to know whether the hulk system was about to be re newed ? The Duke of ARGYLE said that the fact, if fact it were, that the system was inevitable, was a very inconclusive argu ment. It was upon a balance of the evils and inconveniences that this question must be adjusted. The colonists them selves were the best judges of their material and moral inte rests, and they had unanim may repudiated this system. Atter a few word, from Lord WODEEIOUSE, Earl GREY said, in answer to a question from the Noble Lord (Monteagle), that the system cf the hulks had never been discontinued, although certainly it was very desirable to get rid of the system. A prison was now building in Bermuda, and arrangements were being made in this country to get rid of the convicts. The ay stem (1 associated labour would then be performed in those instead of in the hulks. Until those prisons were prepared it was necessary that con victs should go to the hulks. It was sill necessary to a cer tain extent to use the hulks, but as soon as the bulks wera prepared they would pass ttia, part of their punishment on shore. The question was one of comparison —the compara tive am ,, unt of moral evil by one system or the other. The discussion then terminated, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Moy 9.

Lord PALMERSTON said the last accounts which he re o pi v , d were cot t tined in a dispatch, dated the 17th of April, which st,its-rl that certain troops had already began t ) march, and it was cxpectd in about a fortnight of that time th..t, the greater part, but not the whole, of the Russian troops would have evacuated at least the province of Wallachia. He was also in formed that the Turkish troops were evacuat ing the province. With regard to any fresh emergencies arising, it must be assumed that fresh arrangements would be made, but he was not at present aware of any existing communications between the two Governments bearing on that point. In reler enee to the second question, he was sorry to say that as yet the endeavours of the Governments of England and France to obtain the lineration of the remaining Hunga rian refugees had not been sueceistul. OCCUPATION OF ROME BY FRANCE. Mr, T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affsirs, whether her Majesty's Government concurred in the prolonged occupation of Rome by the Fr , nob army, and if he could inform the House when those troops ore likely to he withdrawn; also, whether it was the opinion of the Noble Lord that the result of this ...vu,4violl had been to eAablish a good government for Rome? Lord PALMERSTON sail the occupation of Rome wAs a measure undertaken by France on their own discretion and judgment ; the British i3overn ment was no party to it. France had exer cised her own rights in regard to it, and it had not teen thought n , cessary to obtain the . previous concur rence of the British Government. With regard to the result of the occupation, he was sorry to say that he c uld not unawer the 1 - 1 ,, n. Nlember's queation in the affirmative. It was well known, not through channels. but to all persona who had the slightest know ledge of the city, that ih:.int , rnal condition of Rtine was an) thing but satisfactory. With regard to the pro i,,notion of the occuoati..n, there had been friendly com multi, ati-na with the Fr.tich Government on the sub ject, and n irher of the two were baud to the fact that th, retreat of the French Government would be fol !tort d by the occupation of the city by others, and there fore it had been thought best to leave to the French Government itself to decide when that occup4tion would best be dialynsed with.

Mr. cinusTuF HER said the Honourable Member w h o spoke last was quite wrung iu supposing that tenant.fartm:rr were n,ver surcharge:l, for he knew of innumerable instances where that bad been the care. Mr. E.

In stances were very rare now where a capi at ot 81. an acre was employed in the cultivation of laud, and yet under the „Id law th',4t was the !:tiling figure of the as.easmetit. Mr. HENLEY said the farmers were not only aura charg , d on &menu!. B. hut on Schedule D also. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY complained that it very fre qnently happened that the tax payer had to make good the ch-tateivions of the collector. The clause was thin passed through the various stages, and ord Tud to he added to the Bill. Colonel SIB alma , moved the following provisos to clause l, namely—Provided always that nothing in this Act contained shall Luitturise the c,noinuance 0: tine rats anti duties granted heretwore under Schedule B of the first recited Act, as regards tenantarmers or occupiers of the soil in theist Britaie,. with t ,he gen , rat power of appeal; provided also that nothing in this Act contained shall authorise the con tinuance of so touch of the rates and dunes granted heretofore tteder Schedule E of the said first recited Act as relates to the pay at:d allowances of the officers in her Meejetst t 'es unary or navy. the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the amendment ' an d It wax tint persevere o to. Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY called the attention, of the.

They might as well attempt, to enforce it upon Siberia us upon Ireland. —(M, oh!) The Bill was then considered and agreed to, and or dered to be read a third time on Monday. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ASSUMPTION BILL. On the motion for eoing into Committee on this Bill, Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from Dublin tegainst it, which he moved should be read fre..m the table, and it N . as accordingly done. Mr. .ciISRAF.,LI presented several petitions from pieces in Buckinghamshire against Papal aggression. ' QRATTAN presented a petition moot the MIL Mr. SADLEIR seconded the resolutions. 11r• Sir G. GREY sa id t h at the Hon. Gentleman ( ur •00 quhart) had a n opportunity of raising his opposition on ebb Bolt. reading ; b ut such a course of action did not suit ,"to Hon. Gentleman, ecause he saw th a t hi s mot i on w ould then of no avail, as h e could net effect his object by w 4 gether getting rid o f thi s B ill, and thus totally undoing ° hit had been before done by that House. When such &a l .. appeared to hint to be a f a il ure, he then turned his attent ion : to the plan of proposing a vote of censure on the Gore % merit, whi• h he telt a s s ure d wou ld b e of no avail, becausee'l did not think that the Hou se wou ld b e so far stultify it s ; as to rescind the v o t e b e f ore recorded. The attack of • Hon. Gentleman on the First Lord of the Treasury (Lork i Rus , ell) would prove o f no consequence, because by 1, anxiety for a vote of cens ure on t h e G overnment, he felt 1113;, mired that the p o int o f hi s attac k was d i rected against Noble Friend (Lord Pahnersten), rather than against.s% other member of the Government ; arid he felt assured th; the Ho se coin c id e d w i t h him in that opinion, on thee; grounds he cauti one d t h e H ouse against following his 01)./!'et arid to avoid being subject to the character of stultifylne themselves by rescinding their former vote to „ e ta' vrur of the se con d rea di ng. In a word, he w e • !leered that the H' rnoura bl e G entleman wished t ha t the Pope of Rome should have all authority to divide this country, as it suited his purpose, without the sanctiot! of Parliament or the country.—( Hear, hear.) He sboilla, next refer to Ireland, an d i n doing so he considered t h at the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church in that count/ hail a just right and claim to their ecclesiastical titles, Pa r : titularly when the use of those titles was not in any way " violation of the Ise; and he should add that those title: were in existenc e , no t on ly b e f ore t h e present Governmen came into power, but even before the Emancipation Act eres pas,ed, home the Maynooth grant was sanctioned, and he' fore the Re orm Act was thought of. He did not see aril grounds for the Hon. Gentleman's :amendment, because he considered that it was the constitution.il right of this country to prevent, by every possible me a n s , th e i nter f erence of* foreign potentate. He, therefore, asked the House to go into Committee at once, and not to stultify themselves by ree seindiire t heir former vote on that occasion. —(Hear.) Mr. FREeIIFIELD considered that the Hon. Gentleman': amendment was altogether useless, and that it would be be.ter they had long since gone into Committee, as much goed would he effected by such a ceurse, rather than delay the time of the House in a u , eles , . dkussion. Lord J. MAN.-. ERS considered hat the House should look ter the merit of the n solution, for be telt assured that it was pi fleetly just, and as evident as that two and two make four, for he well r new that the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) was always willing to promote the perdition of the Church of England, while a t the sam e tim e h e was encourag i ng the growth of Popery; arid be should, moreover, say that the puny ens ineignificant measure would be of no avail against the niachimoiens of the Church of Rome, for it would be wholly inoper a tiv e , ane would not be at all ac r e upon, even though it became the law of the land. He considered that the Bill of the Noble Lord would perfectly justify the House ter vote in favour of the amendment of the Hon. Member for Stafford (Mr. Urquhart). It might be borne in mind by the House that a few days before the Easter recess he had asked the Noble Lora if he would retract or modify the letter of Earl Grey, by which it was shown that the Pope of Rome had a certain authority over the colonies; but he was an swered that n mechtivation eould be made. What concha biome then, could the House arid the country legitimately crime to hr. in this metre of action adopted on the part of the Give 'mew ? lie knew but of two—either that they are perercu , rug Dr. Wiseman, or that they are betraying and abandoning the rights of the Crown and those Bub• ject to her 111 ejesty's tide at the antipodes. — k Cheers.) Let him ask the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, • or, rather, let him remind him, how he had acted as re ga.ded the English episcopate. When he came into office he admitted that the number of bishops connected with the Engliett Church was miserably defective, and even specified the number of additional ones he was to create. If, then, that speech had been followed up, as it ought to have been, there could be no doubt. that many of she great towns throughout the country would have been formed into twee, arid placed under the superintendence of prelates of the Church of England, and that they would not have l iver pool, Nottingham. and Birmingham placed, as they were now, under prelates appointed by the Pope.—(Loud cheer::) Then, as to another act of unfairness on the part of the Noble Lord, towards the Euglish Church. Before the ag gressiun took place, nego•iations were pending between the Government of the Noble ord and the vs esleyan body lereeare in respect of the educational system of the latter, which s t o er n to ne t g li o e t m iat t io h n e s ir mabinleatceldaimins.GovAetriTheentsacmeneceddiumge pending between the Government of the Noble Lord and the English Roman Catholics on much the same sub ject, and these also had been conceoed, and that subse quent to the aggression. Then, with respect to the Eng. huh Episcopal Church, negotiations had also been pending, but although that body had in that House submitted their claims in such a manner that no Member of it could deny the justice and the reasonablenese of it, yet those claims had met with determined and stern opposition by the Government of the Noble Lord, and v ere still denied them. - (Cries of " Hear, hear.") As to the motion itself, he thought the Honeurable Gentle man who proposed it bad a perfect ight to assume that the Pope would meet with but little discouragement, if be did not actually meet with support, from the Noble Lord and his Government in any aggres sion he might make on this country; for he believed that it the people of England and the Sovereign of England had not telt aggrieve d, and expressed their opinions of the course pursued by the Pope in a manner not to be nri,taken, they woul I have heard but little righteous indignation expressed on the part of the Government.— ( Hear, hear.) As to the measure proposed by the Noble Lord to meet that aggression, he did not intend to go into detail respecting it, for the House could not have forgotten what had taken place, or the course of its progre,s through the House, from the firs' night it was introduced. What they bad to consider was simply was the, motion of the Hon. Membor for Stafford true, or was it not ? (Hear, hear.) Ifit was true, vote for it; if it was not, reject it. He believed it to assert a truth, and he would vote for it—( Hear, hear)—because be thought it of importance that they should place on the journals of the House a condemnation of such a course of conduct as the Government of the Noble Lord Lail pursue in order that they miget hold up their conduct as a beacon to warn others who might follow them from following a similar course. No Hon. Member seeming ieclitied to address the HOLISeI long pause took place, when strangers were ordered to it& draw, in order that the House might divide cn the motion, upon which Mr. SADLEIR rose to support the motion. The Right Hen. Gentleman the Secretary for the Home Department seemed to take it tor granted that any one who might support the motion did so as a censure upon the Go vernment, for their conduct towards the R oman Ca thelics. Now he for one did not support the motion on any such grounds. He. had always admitted and supported the sound policy of the Noble Lord in making the concessions to the R man Catholics he had on several occasions dime, and concurred iu the declara tions he had frequently made respecting the great value of a Roman Catholic hierarchy iu Ireland, fur it was impossible for any Rotiran Catholic not to feel a desire to see the Church in this country having the advantage of such a government. It was possible that they might have a bad disposed man placed in the Papal chair, and, he asked, could they have a greater security against any act of aggression he might make upon this country, than the establishment of a hierarchy, who could reject the bulls if they considered them wrong? As to vicars-apostolic, they were the mere nominees of the Pope. The second order of clergy were fully at their mercy -• there was to appear from them, and that was the reason why they wanted a hierarchy and a regular parochial clergy establishment. Besides the establishment of vicars-apostolic was merely a temporary arrangement, for when the body of Roman Catholics became numerous and prosperous in any country or district, it was always the rule to establish amongst them a regular hierarchy. A Papal bull could have no effect in this country until it was sanctioned by such hierarchy, who might reject it if they saw fit, and that had been done already by the Roman Catholic hierarchy of Ireland.
