The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. Lord REDESDALE, on behalf of the Duke of RICH atoND, gave notice of a motion, for Thursday, for a Select Committee to inquire into the expediency of en abling the holders of entailed estates to raise money for the purpose of effecting improvements on the land. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said the subject of providing proper lunatic asylums in Scotland was under the con sidetation of the Government. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice of a motion for to morrow (this d a y), on t h e su bj ect o f ra i lways. After a short conversation between the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and the Earl of DALHOUSIE on the subject of Irish railway s , The Glass Duties Bill, the Customs Export Bill, and the Mutiny Bill were read a second time. The Lands Clauses Co nsolidation .e ß ur il n l e p d assed through Committee, and thei r Lordshi ps adj ourned. The House of Commo ns met at tour o'cloc k . A new writ was ord ere d f or West Kent,in the room of Lord MARSHAM, now Earl of ROMNEY. The Midland Railways Bill was ordered to be re ferred back to the Committee of St an di ng Orders, for the purpose of enabling them to instit u t e an inquiry into the alleged improper conduit of th e agent of the Bill. Mr, FERRAND gave notice that on the third reading of the Maynooth Bill he should move, " That it is the opinion of this House that the 7th and Bth of Vicroatt, comnionly called the Catholic Bequests Act, was a vio lation of the Act of Settlement, and a contravention of the oath of supremacy, and that the present grant to Maynooth is calculated to subvert the Constitution as by law established." Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that, in a future stage of the grant to Maynooth Bill, he would move the fol lowing resolution:—" That the principle of endowment of any religious tact or sects, from a State fund, or from a hind received from tithes, rents, eitc., whether known by any other name or denomination, is a violation of the rights of conscience, detrimental to religion, and dan gerous to civil and religious liberty, and that all such grants ought to be abolished." On the motion of Mr. FERRAND, the petition of the Dublin Operative Conservative Association, praying for the impeachment of Sir R. PEEL, was ordered to be printed with the votes. In answer to Mr. HINDLEY, Mr. HOPE said that a Governor was about to be appointed to Port Natal. The second reading of the Medical Bill was post- The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill Ras then resumed by Mr. IlAwEs, who supported the second reading of the Bill. He thought, however, that the grant ought to be annual, and that the funds should be taken out of the ecclesiastical property in Ireland. Sir T. FREMANTLE supported, and Mr. Fox MAULE opposed the Bill. Lord CASTLEREAGH, who supported the Bill, said no one could complain of being taken by surprise, and his only astonishment was to find that the first of the Irish measures was so exceedingly trifling. _ _ _ Tho House was subsequently — addressed by Mr. WYNNE, Mr. COWPER, Mr. GREGORY, Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. SHAW, and Mr. S. HERBERT, after which the de bate was adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The other business of the day was then completed, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. The debate on the Maynooth grant increases in in- terest. Several admirable speeches were made night, and it is gratifying to find that not a few IL mbers, who represent large bodies of electors, many cf whom are averse to the Catholic religion, have the courage and the virtue to express their real senti ments, and prefer the peace of Ireland and the union of the two countries to momentary applause. Among these we may mention Mr. HAwEs, Mr. MACAULAY, and Sir CHARLES NAPIER, and though there are possibly no three men in the House more anxious to benefit their constituents, or more desirous of consulting their wishes, they still consider that they have a higher duty to perform, and like upright senators, they look not to individual in terests, or the predilections or prejudices of one portion of th• community as the guide of their conduct, but the whole policy of the State, and the well-being of twenty six millions of inhabitants. This resolution has caused these Members, we may well believe, no little anxiety, but they have chosen the right path, and that will afford them sufficient consolation whatever may be the result. The words of Mr. MACAULAY must meet the approbation even: of his keenest opponents. " Therefore it is," said he, " making sacrifices not agree able to any man to make, curbing and confining many feelings that are strong within me, I am determined to give the Bill my most determined support, and to give my support to every Bill emanating from the Government that shall tend to make Great Britain and Ireland fully and completely an United Kingdom. I give that sup port regardless of the obloquy that may be poured upon me, and regardless of the risk I well know I run of my seat in Parliament. Obloquy I will meet ; as to my seat in Parliament, I will never hold it by an igno minious tenure ; and I am sure I could never lose it in a more honourable cause." While making this candid confession of his opinions, and express ing his high approbation of the scheme, he did not forget to blame Sir ROBERT PEEL for his former opposition, and for his reluctance in almost every instance to treat Ireland as an inte gral portion of the British empire. By this delay he had almost driven the Irish to despair, and greatly diminished the value of any blessings which he may have in store for that distracted and persecuted country. The words of Sir C. NAPIER are equally honourable to him. He would have preferred the motion of Mr. WARD to that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and in that preference we cordially concur ; but he would rather take something than nothing—he would take an instal ment, and trust to circumstances and the enlightenment of truth for the rest. Sir CHARLES regretted that he could not have proposed an amendment to the motion of Mr. WARD, which would have been more in accordance with what he regarded as just, not only to Ireland, but to Great Britain. As it was, however, supposing his Hon. Friend's motion should fail, "he would give his support to the Government mea sure. He was aware that in so doing he should give offence to many of his constituents who felt strongly on this question, but though his interest should be com • premised he should feel it to be his duty to support the Government in what he felt to be a fair, a just, and an honourable course." Press of other matter, however, prevents us from further remarks on this momentous subject. In the " Notice Paper" of motions in the House of Commons for the present week, we see announcements of very different kinds, but on very important sub jects, upon one of which, and that not the least important, we have a few words to offer. To night, we find, the Earl' of LINCOLN is to bring in a Bill to facilitate the inclosure of common and was to lands in England and Wales. It would be much more gratifying to us were Lord LINCOLN to apply to Parlia ment for powers to facilitate the practical carrying out of the dictates of common sense and good taste in the management of those public works which are the more immediate and legitimate objects of the super vision of a Board of Woods and Forests. Why will not Lord LINCOLN and his brother Commis sioners cast their regards on such objects as these, and the " cribbing" system, as it has been aptly called, which is so insidiously appropriating patches of the green sward from the public's old right-of-way to the demesne of the aristocratic residences that are, in more senses than the Irish sense of the word, "convenient" to them? But,on the other hand, could we exercise any influence in the matter, we could tolerate a hundred such annoyances in the public places of the capital, provided the Commis sioners would give up all co-operation in this hateful system of inclosing " waste and com mon lands." What manner of madness is it which prompts this selfish war upon the comforts, the health, the recreations of the labouring poor ? Has not the spread of manufacturing and commercial industry, and the concentration of capital or enormous works of various descriptions, a sufficient tendency to appropriate and inclose all the " waste and common" lands in the country, where these operations are carried on, without its being necessary for the Legislature, by some general and sweeping provisions, to " facilitate" that oc cupation of the soil which is everywhere too facile of accomplishment already ? Are these in closure workers, yesterday with Lord WonsLEr, to-day with Lord LINCOLN at their head, acting under the im pression that theirs is the best mode for conciliating the respect and good-will of the patient, overworked, and too often underpaid and underfed labourer, for that abundant wealth and widely-diffused luxury which everywhere surrounds him, as associated with the pos session of noble parks and spacious manors, wide stretching forests and wood-clothed hills, green valleys and laughing meadows ? Or, is it seriously considered that, having in_this country taxed the light of heaven itself, and levied in this way " discriminating duties" upon ventilation, cleanliness, and cheerfulness, in favour of dark dwellings, infected atmospheres, and all the other " facilities" for contagion—it is now but the reasonable " complement" of such legislation to impose a total prohibition, to the utmost practical extent, on the luxury of pauper ambulatory locomotion ? Where is the system to stop ? Is the reversion of every heath to be secured to the neighbouring landowner, to the irre parable loss of the village bind and the town artizan, their wives and their children, but under some such empty pretence of compensation as we ex posed the other day in the case of the Nottingham inclosure job? There is surely no wisdom—to pass over the higher considerations of Christian humanity and moral justice—in thus carefully extinguishing all the tangible interest, so to call it, which the poor man has in the place of his birth. How many a deed of noble daring has been devised and accomplished under that species of holy possession which invests the remotest regions, and under circumstances of the most desperate extremity, the meanest soldier or sailor, whose first breath has been drawn, haply, on some wild common, some lonely glen, some locality, however rude, barren, savage, or desolate in its aspects, with the Invincible resolution to triumph over every present obstacle, in order that he may once more revisit that spot—sacred beyond all else in the wide world to even the roughest bosom—the home of his infancy. Let us be in no hurry to extinguish this most generous and powerful of attach ments, by desecrating its objects. Away with these in- closures which you propose to facilitate. Let them be permitted only where the case of necessity, or of pre ponderating advantage to those whose rights on such wastes and commons you would abrogate, is self-evident and irresistible. But, as a general rule, leave still to the use and benefit and healthful refreshment of the poor the largest possible margin of the yet uninclosed wastes and commons of England. Madrid journals of the 7th instant announce that a bull of the Holy See, recognising Queen ISABELLA, and ratifying the sales made of church property, will be published in Rome on the 26th. This is considered a step of vast importance to the reigning family, and a heavy blow to the Carlists. Austria, it is understood, will also acknowledge IsenELLA as Sovereign of Spain. The Three per Cents. closed at 351 for cash, and THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRAL 18, 11448. 351 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 251 at sixty days ; and the Debt, without interest, at 8+ for cash, and 81 at sixty days. The French Chamber of Peers have passed the Bill for mitigating slavery in the colonies by a majority of 103 to 59. This is a large minority, when it is consi dered how small the boon is which the unfortunate slave is to reek ire. But something more will be done. Slavery cannot long exist in the French West India colonies amidst those of England, where liberty prevails. The Paris press too, generally, is favourable to the measure, and it is understood that a proposition of the Duke D'HARCOURT, for granting a certain sum out of the Treasury to enable slaves of good character to purchase their liberty, will be brought forward in the Chamber of Deputies. The accounts from Zurich are to the 10th inst., on which day the Diet was to meet. In the meantime the Commission had made a report, recommending the Fe deral Commissioners to give efficacy to the resolutions agreed to by the Diet against the free eorps, and for the preservation of the public peace, insisting especially that the refugees from Lucerne shall not fix their resi dences within a given distance of that canton ; and, in the second place, the Vorort is called upon to see the re solution regarding the free corps executed in all the cantons, and to make a report on the subject at the next extraordinary Diet. The Catholic cantons had held a general council at Lucerne, and a general amnesty had been granted to all persons under twenty years of age. M. GEZOT had addressed another note to the Count DE PONTOIS, French ambassador to the Cantons, in which he states that the KING'S Government is anxious to maintain the independence of Switzerland, whilst at the same time it must protest against revolution or a civil war. The following are the only contents of the note of the slightest interest : "So far from wishing, by the conduct that I prescribed on the 3d of this month to the King's Ambassador, to affect this inde pendence in the slightest manner; our intention was to offer Switzerland a fresh proof of our esteem. if anything could com promise the external situation, as well as the internal prosperity of Switzerland, it would be the breaking out of civil war and anarchy in her bosom. Was it a normal and regular state of things that the violent action of troops, illegally armed and raised, should endeavour, in the canton of Lucerne, to impose by violence their will on a legally constituted Government? Is the revolution accomplished in the canton of Vaud, by insurrection and mate. rial force, a normal and regular state of ttings ? Should not the friends of Switzerland see in such facts an imminent danger, not only for the peace and security of the country, but even for the existence of the Confederation, so unfortunately affected in the inviolability of its compact and the sovereignty of tts cantons. As long as the question of the Jesuits was discussed regularly and pacifically in the cantons, the King's Government, faithful to the principles which have aletays guided it, abstained from any mani. festation ; but when the gravity of the situation revealed itself by (Murders that affected the whole of Europe, the French Govern. ment deemed it their sacred duty to call the most serious attention of the Diet to perils as evident as they were grave; and it con. jured it, in a friendly manner, to take prompt and efficacious measures for remedying the evil, to prevent renewed attempts, and re-assure at the same time both Switzerland and Europe. These are the affectionate and disinterested motives which have alone guided the King's Government." The French Three per Cents. were done at TOR TOM'S on Sunday at 85f. 70c. THIS DAY'S NEWS. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Easter Term, the Lord Chancellor entertained the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast, at his Lordship's residence in George-street, Hanover squure. After which his Lordship, accompanied by the Judges. proceeded in state to Westminster Hall, for the purpose of taking their seats in their respective Courts. His Lordship took his seat shortly after one o'clock, accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the Vice. Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigram, and Masters Sir Giffin Wilson and Sir George Rose. His Lordship took motions, none of which possessed any points of interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Lordship did not take his seat today till nearly two o'clock. His Lordship took motions of no general interest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took motions. The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to-day. Vice. Chancellor Wigram sat in the new court recently erected for him in Old Palace-yard, and heard motions. In the Equity Courts, sevetal gentlemen were called within the bar, who have been recently appointed Queen's Counsel. Among them were Mr. Wood, the son of Sir Matthew Wood, Mr. Hey. ward, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, and Mr. Sergeant Manning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships took their seats on the bench shortly after one o'clock.

The following gentlemen having lately received silk gowns, took their places inside the bar as Queen's Counael :—Messrs, Wood, Humphrey, Butt, Gurney, and Haywood. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice Comminute.) TUB SPA FIELDS BURICINCLORMIND. Mr. PEACOCK moved, on the part of Mr. Bird, manager of the above burying ground, for a writ of certiorari, to remove an in. dictment for misdemeanour out of the Middlesex Sessions into the Court of Queen's Bench. The Learned Gentleman moved on the ground that questions of fact were likely to arise which would render it advisable to have the case tried by a special jury. Mr. WILDE said he had been but a few hours before instructed to show cause why the writ should not be issued, but, supposing that his Lordship thought that the indictment ought to be removed, he bad no objection to make some arrangement relative to the trial. Mr. PEACOCK cited precedent to show that a rule absolute should be granted in cases of misdemeanour. __ _ lii. LORDSWIP, however, only granted a rule to show cause, two days hence. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE DISTILLERY CASE-TRIAL AT BAR. This case, which was adjourned till to.day from last Term, In consequence of an informality, was, after a brief conversation, again postponed to Wednesday, the 22d inst., for which day it is positively fixed.

Papers and letters, dated as late as January 4, have come to hand this morning from Sydney, and indirectly to the 15th of December from Hobart Town. Besides this there is an arrival from Adelaide, South Australia, with advices of the 11th ultimo. The intelligence brought is not of par ticular importance, but we learn from Sydney that there was some derangement in the exchanges, on account of the discount charged for bills on England; and that wool had receded in consequence. The caution exercised just now by shippers in the mother country has the effect of reducing the indebtedness of the colonists; and it appears, therefore, that th,ir staple is worth less at Sydney, allowing for freight and charges, than it is here. • The wine trade has been recently agitated by failures, and now the silk trade suffers, two well-known houses having suspended. One of them having failed a year or two since, it is very naturally a matter for surprise how it could so soon again have got into extensive credit, and have such large liabilities. The Stock market is firm, and there has been a fair busi ness doing. Consols realise 99 1 / 4 % for Money, and 99% for the 27th May, the new account day. Exchequer-bills have been 575. to 595. premium. Bank Stock has been 209 1 ,E to 213% •, but India Stock has gone back to 276% and 276. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101% to 1 4. The Foreign Stocks, though quiet, are well maintained. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 3054 %, and the Passive 7%; Portuguese Converted have been 65% for Transfer, and 66% for Account; Mexican Bonds have been 36 1 4 ; and Brazilian, 87 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 63 1 / 4 . The Share Market has been decidedly quieter, but it is evident from the firmness of the quotations that this is chiefly the result of the arrangements for the settlement.

A numerous and respectable meeting of English Roman Catholics was held this day at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of the grant to Maynooth College. The meeting was convened by an advertise. ment, bearing the names of the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Lerd Shrewsbury, Lord Camoys, Lord Beaumont, Lord Stourton, Lord Petre, Lord Stafford, and Messrs. Charles Langdale, Edward Petre, H. V. Stafford Jerningham, and John Towneley, M.P., most of whom were observed amongst the gentlemen on the platform. The chair was taken a few minutes before twelve by the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, on the motion of Lord Camoys, seconded by Lord Beaumont. The CHAIRMAN, previous to opening the business of the meeting. stated that he had received a communication from that venerable nobleman, Lord Stafford, who expressed regret that he would not be able to attend on that occasion. Lord Shrewsbury, the Noble Chairman added, was also unable to attend. Mr. LANGLEY, the Secre'ary, read the following letter from Lord Shre,vsbury. He did not place it in the hands of the Noble Chairman, because he was afraid the Noble Earl would abstain from reading the concluding part of the note:— "Alton Towers, April 13, 1845 " Dear Mr. Langdale.—Unable to attend the'rneeting which you have been good enough to inform me is convened for Tuesday next, I beg you will have the goodness to express my great regret at the circumstance, as well as my most cordial assent to the meeting's objects and intentions ; and upon this point I need not say more than express my perfect and heartfelt °lncurrence in the sentiments so ably and honestly expressed by your noble chairman in his place. in Par lament on Friday last.—l remain, dear Mr. Langdale, very truly and faithfully, yours " SHREWSBURY." The Noble CUAIRMAN then proceeded to introduce the imme diate business of the meeting. He said—Gentlemen, we have met here for the purpose of expressing our sympathy on the oc. casion of a measure of great benefit being brought forward b; her Majesty's Government, for the relief of our Catholic brethren in Ireland.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, for nearly fifty years, the nursery of the Irish Catholic clergy has been the College of Mayuooth, furnishing almost the entire number of the clergy in Ireland. Gentlemen, I intend, very briefly, to lay before you the reason of our meeting here to-day. It is not, however, my intention to enter into a defence of the much-maligned Maynooth, because the pure and spotless character of the Irish Catholic clergy is too well known to need any defence from me.—(Loud cheers. Her Majesty's Government, with a very liberal and generous feeling, and a very liberal and generous speech on the part of the Prime Minister, have introduced a measure which has been received with ecstacy in Ireland from one end to the other. Feeling, as we do, a strong sympathy with our fellow Catholic subjects in Ireland, it would not be decent, it would not be becoming, if we did not now come forward to show that we sympathise with them; and for that purpose, and with that view, we have met here to day to petition Parliament that the Bill, which has already made some progress, may be pa=ssed into a law. For that purpose a series of resolutions has been prepared, which Noble Lords amid gentlemen will have the honour of laying before you for your con. sideration and approval. Gentlemen, I will not detain you further than to say I am happy to see so numerous and respectable a meet ing. I will therefore conclude by calling upon my Lord Camoys to move the first resolution. Lord CAMOYS said he last year bad the honour of presiding at a meeting of the English Catholics far the purpose of expressing their disapprobation of the course pursued by the Government towards the Irish Roman Catholics, and now ti.ey were met to display their approbation in favour of the present Administration, in consequence of the measure now proposed for the benefit of the Roman Catholics of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But they could not help at the same time expressing their re_ gret that there should be a necessity for disapproving of the feel ing which has been excited in England against this Bill. They confounded a grant for the education of the people of Ireland with a grant to the priesthood. He himself was in favour of the vo. luntary principle.—(Cheers.) It was argued also against this Bill, that It was a violation of conscientious feeling; it was riot that feeling which prompted them to oppose this measure—it was an intolerant spirit towards the Church of Rome—(Hear)—and an ig. norance of its tenets that brought forth this display of intolerance and bigotry. Why did they feel a scruple in supporting this grant now, when that principle, if it were a principle, was long since violated, by their paying the Roman Catholic clergymen out of the public funds, for teaching the paupers in the poor-houses in Ireland ? (Cheers.) It was also argued that the English should not contri bute to the support of an establishment to educate the clergy of the Roman Catholics in Ireland. He would ask who had a bet ter right to support the clergy, than those who had long since plundered the Roman Catholics • of Ireland ?—(Cheers.) What would they say if they found establishments without at. tendants ? They would rejoice that they were not Englishmen to share in such a disgrace. One word as to the policy of this grant. He did not think that there ever had been a majority in either House of Parliament which was not in favour of this grant—and it was good policy to unite the strength of the whole country to preserve domestic peace and defy foreign invasion. But if there was one thing that excited the gratitude of the country it was the way in which the grant was made, and Sir Robert Peel might feel assured that he would not be disappointed in his expectations of the readiness with which the Irish people would acknowledge the benefit he had conferred. Other concessions had been made, but they had been trammelled with conditions which took away from the value of the boon ; but in this instance the Premier had had the wisdom and the goodness to confer this grant without a condition which impeded the ad vantage, of the gift. Sir It. Peel might be assured that such a grant as this would excite a different feeling, and if he accom. parried her Majesty as he (Lord Camoys) hoped he would accompany her, he would find the grateful exclamation of the people for himself mix with the plaudits for her Majesty. The people of Ireland were aware of their value in the British empire —they had rights, and those rights they were determined to obtain, and if they did not obtain them the people of this country oppressed and wronged them. And in the lines of Captain Rock, he might say : " As long as millions shall kneel down To ask of thousands for their own— So long as thousands turn away, And to the millions answer nay, So long the merry reign shall be Of Captain Rock and his family." With these remarks he would move the first resolution : " That the English Catholics in communion with all of every nation of the Holy Catholic Church in communion with the See of Rome, are steeply interested in whatever affects any portion 01 the visible church of Christ on earth, whether for good or evil. That if they regard even the most distant and widely separated of their holy church with such feelings of affection and brotherhood, how much stronger is the claim of their Irish Catholic fellow. subjects upon their sympathy and interest." His Lordship sat down amid loud and protracted cheering. The Rev. Mr. Stag, after p lying a com;sliment to the Chair man, said that he had read the excellent speech of Mr. Macaulay, in which he reprobated the shabbiness with which the grant to the Irish Church had hitherto been made. Now he (Mr. Sisk) felt that this grant was not a concession to the Roman Catholics, but a first acknowledgment of the rights which they possessed —a sprinkling of justice through the long train of injury to which they had been so long subjected. It should not be forgotten that the whole population of this country consisted of 24,000,000 of indi viduals, and out of these more than 8,000,000 were Roman Catholics, who bore their share of the taxation of the country, and who were as good and as faithful subjects of her Majesty as any other portion of the people. And if the Protestants of this country conceived that there was any objection to the endowment of the Catholic Church, the Roman Catholics, with equal truth, objected to the endowment of the Pro:estant Church. The Rev. Gentleman then cited another extract from Mr. Macaulay's speech, in which he com. pared themunificent endowments of Oxford and Cambridge with the Do-the-boys Hall, which with scanty and parsimonious niggardliness, the Parliament had hitherto fancied they had endowed the Ca. tholics. He (Mr. Sisk) would not follow the bad example of those who, with a profession of charity on their lips and hypocrisy in their hearts, vilified the holy religion which the Roman Catholics pro fessed, but he would say this, that the Roman Catholic subjects of this country were behind no body of into in the excellence of their lives, the extent of their attainments, and the worth of their principles. The Rev. Gentleman sat down very loudly cheered, Lord BEAUMONT rose with great pleasure to respond to the call to move the second resolution : " That this meeting of the English Roman Catholics having seen a Bill that has been introduced into Parliament by her Ma jesty's Government, which, if passed into a law, will be productive of great benefit to their Catholic fellow-countrymen in Ireland, are anxious to express their sincere gratitude to her Majesty's Go. 'eminent for the introduction of the Bill, and also for the liberal, kind, and generous feelings expressed on that occasion by the First Minister of the Crown." Those who imagined that the grant was simply a vote of some 28,0001. or 30,0001. for the support of the Irish Catholic priesthood were grievously mistaken. Instead of its being such s. vote, it was the commencement of a series of great measures for bettering the con dition of the great body of the people of Ireland, and on that account it behoved them to use their best endeavours to remove the scruples and objections of the opponents of the grant. At the same time he must confess that he was convinced those persons who opposed it were sincere in their opposition. He was personally acquainted with many of them, and he could truly say those he did know were men of high moral integrity and spotless character. Nur did they oppose the grant because it was extravagant in a pecuniary point of view, but because they believed it was at variance with the faith they professed. They looked upon the Roman Catholics as professors of error, and were desirous there fore of convincing them of the truth of their own religious prin.. ciples. On the other hand, those noblemen and gentlemen who had called that meeting looked upon the opponents of the grant as the victims of error. Were they then to be deterred from doing all they could to obtain this grant ? Certainly not. They were acting in accordance with the dictates of their own consciences, and their support of the measure was no more unjust or objectionable than the warm and enthusi. astic declarations and protests of its opponents.—(Hear, hear.) lie would again read the resolution, arid hoped that whoever would second it would make use of any necessary remarks which he might have omitted. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the resolution. The Hon. EDWARD PETRE, in seconding the resolution, said that as he laboured under indisposition he would be excused front going into those topics alluded to by his Noble Friend who pre. ceded him. Whatever they might think of the voluntary system, this movement was solely against the religion of the people of Ire land. It was nothing but prejudice and calemny that had excited this opposition against this most beneficial measure. He could truly say that he would support every measure that would tend to alleviate the wrongs of Ireland, and would tend to cheer its pros pects.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and unanimously carried. Lord EDWARD Howano then rose to propose the following resolution : ` That this meeting deeply regrets the tone assumed at this time by too many of their Protestant fellow-subjects. That they feel much sorrow when they see unfounded—they fondly hoped, forgotten—charges renewed against them. But, often as those charges have been successfully refuted, they feel their best return for calumny—which, they hope, has arisen from misapprehension— is the charit) and patience inculcated by their Church." The giant to Maynooth was chiefly opposed by two classes—the Protestant members of the Established Church, who felt strongly and conscientiously on religious measures, and to whose opinions lie looked with great deference—and the other class were those who dissented from the Established Church in this country, and who were in favour of the voluntary system of support. With regard to the formes, he felt that their arguments were contravened by those of Mr. Roebuck, who stated that this was a grant which was given by an exclusively Protestant Parlia. nient in Ireland, and continued by an exclusively Protestant Par. 'lament in England, and now it was about to be increased on the same principle. There were, no doubt, an immense number of petitions presented from the people of England to Parlia. silent against this measure; but lie believed that they were very little snore than paper, for when they came to look at the signatures of those petitions, they would find that there was not, in reality, such a great extent of the feeling of the country represented by them. Those who opposed this grant on the ground of the voluntary system, had but a very poor case in their favour in Ireland, because there was there a Presbyterian Church Establishment, as also the Church Esta blishment of England, which he did not think a good argument against a grant to the education of the priests of Ireland. Therefore he would say, associated as he was with them, he was very sorry to find there should be so great a sensation against the Catholic religion, He did not think that there was any man who could justly t ax th e Catholic body with disloya l ty . For himself, and the Catholic body in general, he repudiated any such charge if it were made. It was constantly i ncu lcated from their pulpits that they sheuld pay a proper and right obedience to the autho_ rities and the laws under which they lived.—(Hear, hear.) Such were the tenets whi c h th ey were taught by their religion, and he trusted that the people of England would shortly see that this event was kidhied In wisdom, and that it wiouitt bc a means ul combining all classes of the community in one common bond of unity and amity ; and he felt assured that in the case of at y civil commotion—which heaven keep from us—there would be no reason to fear that the Catholic body would prove a source of weakness. Such being the case, it must be far from the opinion of any wall-informed person that the Catholics of this country would prose disaffected to the Government, if their rights were duly and fairly considered. He deprecated any imputation that the Catholics wished evil to the Established Church, or any other institution of this country. He was an Englishman, and he felt proud of being connected with a country which was, unques. tionably, the first in the world. They could not be more loyal or well disposed than they were now, and more affectionate than they were now, to their beloved Queen ; and if they did not exactly obtain all that they could desire they looked for ward to better times, and lie trusted that the experience of their Protestant fellow countrymen would induce then to look upon them with greater charity and more right feeling; and with this hope he would move the resolution which had been put into his hand. The Hon. CHARLES CLIFFORD rejoiced to see one of the family of Howard engaged in this demonstration of fealty to his Church and charity to his fellow subjects; and he would congratulate the meeting also on this opportunity of showing to the world that the principles of their Church were principles of kindliness and justice, and that obedience to the laws and affection for the Sovereign were as rife in the bosoms of the Catholics of Ireland as in those of any other inhabitants of the empire. He congratulated the Prime Minister on the progress he had already made in thii great and well-advised measure; and notwithstanding the 113 petitions of Mr. Ilindley, and all the opposition which it had met with, he trusted it would be carried out to a successful conclusion, for it would be carrying out the dearest wish of his heart. To him, who was one of a family who had never swerved from the re. ligion of their forefathers, there was no more earnest wish than to see Ireland happy. He knew that those imputations which had so frequently been thrown upon their religion would in time die away, and he rejoiced at this opportunity of bearing his testi mony to the truth and the charity of that religion, which was al ways an agent in promoting loyalty and truth. It was a religion which taught the fulfilment of all public as well as all private du. ties—this it was that taught the Catholic soldier to bear the brunt of the battle, and fight in his country's cause the way to victory—(Hear, hear)—this it was which taught the Catholic sailor to tread the deck with firmness and devotion, and to bear to battle and to conquer in his country's cause. Rejoicing as he did in the charitable terms of this resolution, and trusting that it might prove in some degree instrumental in removing the erro neous impression of many in this country with respect to the na- ture and spirit of the Catholic religion, he gave it his cordial sup port. The Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE, in moving the adoption of a pe. tition to both Houses of Parliament in favour of the grant, de clared that his Catholic brethren in Ireland ought to be grateful to her Majesty's Government for the boon they had given to them, and expressed a hope that the complete and full adoption of the grant by Parliament would not lead to the catastrophe which some of its opponents had predicted. Ile alluded to the sacrifice of certaia Members on the floor of the House of Commons.—(Laughter.) The Church in Ireland eirigin2lly helnnupd to the Catholics, and he was therefore far from objecting to the grant, but he trusted it would not be taken as a precedent for making future grants to endow other sects. He did not object to the expression of opinion on the part of the opponents of the grant; but what necessity was there for their going out of their way to heap abuse and calumny on the Roman Catholic religion ? How different had been the spirit which pervaded their own proceedings that day. Were the speeches of those Noble Lords and gentlemen who had prec;ded him tainted with the bigotry and illiberality of their opponents, who held forth at Ex. eter Hall ? God forbid that they should be.—(Cheers.) Far be it from them to imitate their opponents. Let them rather pursue a directly different course, and endeavour, by calm and persuasive arguments, to convince their Protestant fellow-subjects that their opposition was uncharitable, and not by violence and abuse widen the gap which existed between the members of the two uersuasions. He would conclude with moving— " That a petition be drawn up in the usual form for presenhtion to both Houses of Parliament, acknowledging with gratitude the progress already made in the Bill, and most earnestly praying them to pass and carry it into a law. The Hon. Mr. STAFFORD JEHNINGHAM, in seconding the rem. lution, expressed a hope that the Premier would pay more attention to Lord Sandon, the Noble Member for Liverpool, than to Mr. M`Neill, the rev. incumbent of St. Jude's. He recollected seeing a sen. tence which was framed by this rev. incumbent placing her Majesty's name in a very unfortunate juxta.position with the name of Jezabel and when brought up to explain it, he stated that, by her Majesty, he meant the Roman Catholics.— (Laughter.) He meant nine. twentieths of the civilised poltion of the world. That there were ten thousand petitions against the measure was a circumstance rather untoward at first view, mid upon which he looked with the highest respect, but justice they had a right to—(Cheers)—and when such sentiments as those put forth by the rev, incumbent of St. Jude's, were expressed, they could not be treated with any other feeling than that of indigna. tion.—(Cheers.) His Honourable Friend who preceded him proposed a tour through Ireland; he could say that he had anticipated him by having already made that tour And he denied that there was in Maybooth that waist of cultivaticn, or that absence of humane conduct which had been so frequently imputed to them ; for example, he would state that he never met a more finished gentleman, or a more perfect scholar, than Dr. Dengan, who had been a Professor of that Col. lege, and had now become a Bishop. For this measure, as a religious measure, he did not care, for, whets they were not able to force their opinions from three millions of Roman Catholics, how could they expect to suppress the opinion of seven millions ?—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible that they could alter their principles by this grant now.—(Hear.) He could not sit down without stating that if Englishmen insulted their Irish fellow.countrynr.on by withholding this grant, he, as an Englishman, should shudder at the consequences, He cordially supported the resolution moved by his Hon. Friend, and thanked the inee Ling for their patient attention. The resolution was Carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant iiIEE thought it his duty, as a Catholic resident in London, to express his thanks to her Majesty's Government for the first occasion on which they had shown any disposition of conciliation towards their Roman Catholic fellow.sub. jects. The resolution he held in his hand needed no recommendation from him. It was that their Noble Chairman, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, be requested to presen - - the petition to the House of Commons, and that his Noble Father be requested to support the Bill when it reached the House of Peers. When he recollected that, through all the struggles of the last 20 or 30 years, the grandfather of their Noble Chairman had ever been in the front of the contest, and that the noble house had ever been foremost in bearing their testimony to the faith that is in them, he felt that no resolution could have been confided to him which could have met with a more cordial re sponse in his feelings. When he looked at the speech of the Noble Chairman in the House of Commons last Friday, he was assured that there could be no better representative of the Catholic body in England; and he trusted that when the Bill was again brought before the House he would repeat the same manly con duct ; and he did conceive that the Noble Lord, and those who had acted with him in what was called the Opposition, if the country were doing nothing that in any way derogated from their characters as public men in giving their support to the Mi nister of the day against the factious large minority at his back. He remembered when the Prime Minister went to the Guildhall to be invested with the freedom of the City of London, he had stated that the Catholic Emancipation Bill should never, if he could help it, remain a dead letter, but that it should become a real charter of liberty to his Roman Catholic fellow.subjects ; and he (Mr. Sergeant Shee) did feel that it was their duty to give him the whole of their support. When he looked at the way in which the Opposition was giving all their support to Sir Robert Peel, when Lord John Russell could, if be had pleased, on this measure, have put the Minister out of power, he did say that the Opposition were entitled to their very best thanks. He had heard it asserted that when they obtained this great, they were pledged to look for no ulterior mea sures ; but when he looked at the endowments of Winchester and Harrow, and the other great esta. blishrnents of the country, he thought that there was no reason why, after having obtained this grant, they should look to further endowments for their Church ; and he agreed with the Noble Lord who spoke to one of the early resolutions, and who said that it was idle to suppose that this measure was to end with the grant of a few thousands to May. nooth—something more than this ; and lie felt that Edmund Burke was right when he said that the Catholic Church ought to be supported as a good, and not tolerated as an inevitable evil, and he was assured that if Sir Robert Peel were to forsake those prin ciples of Conservatism, of which every body seemed now ashamed, and followed a course which was just to all patties in the State, he would find as much support from the Roman Ca tholics as from any other body in the empire. They were there to refute the assertions of those who with Machievelian machinations wished to make it appear that the Catholics of England were indifferent to, or ungrateful for this boon to Maynooth. With these observations he begged to move that the Earl of Arundel and Surrey be requested to present the petition to the Housz of Commons, and that the Duke of Norfolk be requested to present it to the House of Lords. Mr. C. DOUNLICY . had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He thought they ought to support Sir Robert Peel on this occasion, because it appeared to him that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken the first step towards giving justice to Ireland. Ilow could those who a short time ago voted 7,0001. for the Catholic schools in Ireland oppose this grant ?—(Cheers.) The Chairman having vacated the chair, and Lord Camoys taken his place, Mr. HOWARD, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to the Earl of Arundel and Surrey for the able manner in which the Noble Earl had presided over the meeting. The Hon. Member thought the meeting would have two objacts. It would convince the Government that they were grateful for the measure, and show its opponents that they could support the grant and resist their efforts without any acrimonious spirit. Mr. Was. JONES seconded the motion, and it was afterwards car. ried by acclamation- The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURRLY subsequently acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting terminated, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
