This Bill was brought iu by Sir G. GREY, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time this day week. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. ADJOURNED DEBA.TE . - On the order of the day for the resumption of the ad journed &hate on the above Bill, Mr. SCULLY rose to oppose the motion, upon the grounds stated in the petitions which bad just been pre sented to the House, and because he believed the Bill of the Government was not founded on fact, and that if carried into a law it would be dangerous to the moral and social condition of Ireland. In addition to the other grounds which had been stated by the Noble Lord as rendering the Bill necessary, the Noble Lord had taken thisfurther ground, that the aggression —as he was pleased to call the act of the Pope —hod arisen from a desire on the part of " his Holiness" to interfere with the constitutional liberties, not only of this country, but of every country in Europe—that, in fact, it was a part of the revolutionary tactics now in operation on the Con tinent, and that it was intended to create a disturbance between this country and Ireland.

HOWARD said the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) had stated that the friends of liberty all over the Continent were looking with anxiety ecls at the d • • of the House or C ommons. He should be glad toletrrn n what continental legislative assembly had expressed an opinion in favour of the Bill passing. It was not th e friends of lib erty , b ut the frieuds of intolerance who wished the Bill to pass. He advocated a friendly feeling with Austria, and be also advocated liberty of conscience in &gland and every where else. H e wou ld remind the house of the liberality which prevailed in France towards other religions than that of the na tional religion. A Protestant at that moment filled a high post in the French Government. One of the arguments which seemed to have moat effect on the Rouse had been used by her Majesty's Soli citor-General, who spoke of the execrable mixture of the spiritual and temporal which degraded his (Mr. P. Howard's) faith. He would attempt to grapple with that argument. In feudal times, owing to various causes, a very great amount of political temporal power was conceded to the Sovereign Pontiffs. But with the fall of feudalism that temporal power ceased. But bad the assumption of power been really abandoned? He would prove it had been disavowed by one of the moat learned of modern books. In Pope Leo 71.1 L's encyclical letter to the Mexican President this remarkable declaration was made, " That the peculiar office of Pope required that Popes should not interfere with any affairs not con neeted with the church." It was a mistake to suppose that the popular feeling of England had been universally expressed against the proceedings of the Pope. The great counties of Lancaster and Middlesex hod not had any public expression of opinion on the subject. Even the county represented by the leader of the Opposition in that House (Bucks) had not had A county meeting on the question. From 1793 to 1829 no law existed against the Catholics cf England hav i ng bi s h o p s , and theartehsot Catholics s tion on English bishops having of titles was impo r t e d i n 1829 from Irish Acts of Parliament. As the c England claimed no support from the State, the Go vernment had no claim to interfere in their spiritual affairs.—(Hear. hear.)

Lord CRANWORTH presented a petition from cer tain attorney esuggescing alterations in the Expenses of Pi osecutioes The Duke of ARGYLE presented several petitions against Papal aggression; also a petition from the ayned of Ayr, praying their Lordships not to permit any bishop to assume territorial titles in Scotland. He thought it was scarcely worth while to introduce a clause to exempt Bishops of the Episcopal Church in Scotland from the operation of the Bill, as it had been decided by the law courts of Scotland that the assump tion of such territorial tiara were illegal. The Bishop of SALISBURY said that although such titles were unknown to the law of Scotland they were not contrary to law. Lord CAMPBELL said that the Supreme Court of Scctland bad decided that the assumption of such terri torial titles were cont-ary to law, The Bishop of SALISBURY said that they violated no law in assuming those titles. Lord CAMPBELL said that the Right Reverend Prelate had precisely the same right to assume the title of Duke of Edicburgh as the Scotch prelates had to assume their territorial titles. RAILWAYS IN AMERICA. Lord STANLEY, in putting the question of which he had given notice, on the subject of the proposed railway from Halifax to Quebec and Toronto, re minded their Lordships that an individual had 0 tr,r, , ri to construct a railway at his own cost, from Lake Superior to the _Pacific, and that the United States' Legislature had entertained the project, and had offered to sell bias 78,000,000 acres of land, at 10 cents per acre, for the railway. This rendered it more im portant that the railway from Halifax to Quebec and 1 Toronto should he completed, and he bsliev«i that pro- , 1 positions hal hen made by the Noble Esri,to Mr. Howe, the able aed indetatigable agent for N o va Scotia, which had found favour with the Legislature of Nova Scotia; I tut as he understood the colony of New Bruoswick had reiusi.d those terms, and bad repeated their adherence to their original terms, to trendsr to the company or the Legislature ten miles of territory on each side the line, and unless New Brunswick conseeted to the formation of the line; the consent of Nova Scotia and of Canada would be useless, and the great line of communica tion between the Atlantic and the Pacific would he carried on through the country of the United States, instead of thrcugh British America, un less the Noble Earl comes to some terms with New Brunswick. He asked, therefore, if the Noble Earl would lay the proceedings of the New Brunswick Legis lature on the table, and if the Government were pre pared to meet the views of the New Brunswick Legisla tote. tshi-h to him appeared fair. Earl GR'EY had no objection to lay the papers on the tabl e . eltbough the information conveyed by them was very imperfect. He did not consider that the decision of the New Bruuswick Legislature could be con sidered as final, as it bad been hastily adopted at the end of a session on imperfect information. He had never yet heard that any really substantial company had offered to construct the line, and the only company from which he had received an offer was one which had been repudiated by the Governments both of Nova Scotia and Canada. Hs had acted on the principle of declining communication with the representatives of any company which was not countenanced by the Nova Scotian and Canadian Govern ments. He agreed with the Noble Lord as to the im portance of the construction of this line, and he did not consider that whet bad passed in New Brunswick pre sented any insuperable obstacle to such construction. Lord MONTEAGLE had heard with extreme antis faction the expression of opinion en the part of his Noble Feieral that he did not consider the opposition of New Brunswick to be of such a nature as riot to be over coxe. and that the Legislature of that colony might yet be brought to aid in the making of the railway.

On the geestioi that the preamble be postponed, Mr. KEOGH 7080 to move that the preamble should be taken first, for he contended that at present the House had not before it the Bill by which the Government meant to stand ozr fall. He thought it would be more desirable that the Bill should be printed in its new form, in order that theconntry might ace what its nature was. Lord JOHN lUSSELL said he could not accede to the proposition tt the Hon. Gentleman, because it was now some time 'ince the Bight Hon. Gentleman the Szcrotary of State for the Home Department had stated what alterations the Government meant to propose in the Bill, and the House by this time was perfectly aware of them.' With respect to the other alterations, the opinion of her hhj, sty's Government would depend in a great measure me wrist took p!ace in the course of the debate; and as far as regarded the amendments of the Hon. and Learned Member, he (the Noble Lord) certainly desired the Attorney-General to kdmmunicale with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to ascertain what their nature was, and to express the opinion of the Government upon them, but the result of that had certainly not been to come to any agreement on the subject of the amend ment. Mr. DISRAELI said that the position of the House with respect to fie amendments had csrtainly been very much changed shoe the recent declaration by the Noble Lord, that the rwcript of the Pope appointing Cardinal Wiseman was part and percel of a great conspiracy against the civil and religions liberties of the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that what he had stated was that it was part of a conspiracy to prevent the extension of civil and religious liberty in Europe, and that it was dreaded that the influence of this coun try would be used to assist that extension. Mr. DISRAELI said he was willing to accept the Noble Lord's correction, and with that be would say that it was the most important statement which had fallen from a Prime Minister during the present century. The question was then, whether the Bill now before them was calculated to meet such a conspiracy.and he thought it was a marked characteristics of the Bill that it did not meet the grievance which was complained of. The first thing which they should have done would have been to have dealt with the arch - conspirsitor himself, it was the duty of the Government to have secured his removal, to have met the conspiracy in a manner which would show that this country was determined to baffle it. But instead of that, Government had adopted a course quite the reverse. In the first place they had called upon the House to legislate without making the slightest reference to the causes that demanded it, and that the form of legislation therefore which they recommended assumed something like, petty religiouspersecucion.—(Hear, h ear .) Now, if Parliament had supported the Minister in securing the removal of the Popish Prince who was re ported to be at the head of the conspiracy against civil and religious liberty, or :,if Minister bad hid down a principle for its !f_gisiatiou, -which would have brought under the censtitueienel control of the Sovereign all those WILL assumed civil or ecclesiasticAl titles from foreign princes, without having recourse to this petty mode of legislating they would have vindicated the honour of thereountry, briffisd the conspirators, anti laid down a prif - ciple of legislation which would have pre vented a recurrence of the insult. He now came to thecon side ration of the various amendments before them wish reference to these circumstances. These amendments were considerable in number, but though considerable in number, they combine themselves under two heads. There were those that took the right course that sought to connect their Legislation with the cause thug had produced it, and which in the Government scheme was studiously concealed, which recognise what had oc curred as a political evil, and which sought to apply a political remedy. There were, on the other band, amend ment): of a very different kind, which attempted to make that efficient legislation which was essentially ineffective, which did not Seek to connect their legislation with the cireunistances. that had occasioned it, w hi c h did not seek to apply political remedy to a political evil, but, on the contrary, following up what he thought to be the erronie policy of the Government. Now ail these aenendnients, which were open and independent, and declared to,,Europe used the count ry t h e reason why they were undertaking this legislation, end which would make the Bill *diet it ready ought to be, a retaliatory Ant, intended to prevent the recurrence of a gross in sult. Those anietidments which proposed to apply a poli tical remeny „to a p o l it i ca l evil he should support. Tee other amendments were sanctioned by the Honouoarable Gentlemen who wished the 13111 to apply to England with out exten di ng to Ireland. Now und er no ci; tumstancea would he consent to apply isgsslstion to Enishoscl without extending it to Ire:apd. Tee question beloi e them was, how, they could maintain the suprernecy of the Sotefeign. That was the only real question before thim, and to answer it by saying they weuid assist the aiirtority of the Sovereign in one part of the kingdom withou t sass/ding it to the other would be a roost impolitic and injbriouit course to follow. Now the second class or amendment partook vet.) much of that character,. and therefore, iu coming into Com mittee on this Bill, he felt it to he his duty to support any aineedinent, hoes whatever side of the Nouse license. which coped with .th e real question they were called upon to legislate ,itigainst. He should support those amendments whicii, as became a great nation, declared the reasons why Oty took the step they were now absent to con!..utninte. and he should support all those amendments Winch would make the Bill a retalia tory act, so as to vio(livate the honour of the Crown, bat e the tenispiratolj,!hd assert and maintain the real cause of civil and ;religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) Ha could not, fthwVer, reel it expedient to support amenements, the only, object of which was to render --efficient that which wittessentially inefficient. The scheme of the Govarnment'was not only inefficient but vexatious too, an . 4: calculated, he thought, to produce general disguit and disaffection, and not at all likely to vindicate the honour of the country, or to bat& the conspiracy which, lace. rding to the Announcement of the blinist,r, was now threstenieg the civil and re ligious liberty of the latid.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL denied that the Bill omitted to declare the course of their legislation. He did not think that the question could be explained more clearly than in 'l,he words of the amendment which was proposed '`by his Right Honourable Friend (Sir George Grey ). The better to adopt the words suggested by the Hun. Member for Midburst, but ins end of placing theinin the preamble of the Bill to incorporate them in a seini ate clanse. If the Bill were passed, and any persqii op nly assumed titles in contravention of the law ix would be the duty of the Government to put the la:v - Imo operation. Mr. KEOGH said it waft( not be fair to the House or the country to insist cif` proceeding with the Bill without the Government stating what sort of Bill they se intended to stand by. e After a few observations from Lord J.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 15. PETITIONS. A number of petitions were presented in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles; Bill; also others praying that it might be rendered more stringent. Mr. BAILLIE presented a petition from Inverness against Lord Melgund's Elucation Bill. COURT OF CHANCERY. On the motion of Mr. HUME, returns:were ordered of the number of persons committed fur contempt of the Court of Chancery, from the month of April, 1827, to the present time, with a specification of the orders under which the commitments were made; of the number of prisoners in contempt who have been discharged since the year 1827, under orders obtained by the solicitor acting for paupers in contempt, the Costs of obtaining the order in each case, and the name of the solicitor acting for the pauper; and, of the number of prisoners in contempt discharged under the Act 1 Will. IV., c. 36, by the governor or keeper of any prison, without an order of the court; and the term of imprisonment in each case. MR. HUME'S MO PION. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE..apologised for his absence in the House at four o'clock on Tuesday, saying he thought he should have been in plenty of time at half-past four, and gave notice that, as Mr. Hume had fixed his motion for the 3d of June, he Should on that day move an amendment to it, to the effect that the House would at the earliest opportunity next session take into its serious consideration the representation of the people with a view to the extension of the elective franchise. WINDOW TAX. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then asked the Noble Lord when it was his intention to proCeed with the second reading of the Window Duties.. Bill? He understood that there was no apposition to be offered to the second reading. It was hoped that the pleasure would have been proceeded with before the income-tax. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Hon. Member for Finsbury must be aware that there had been certain notices of motion given for the remission of taxes. It was, therefore, a matter of consideration with the Go vertiment wnether they would press forward the Win dow Duty Bill bsfore such notices had been disposed of. Mr. 'l'. DUNCOMBE asked the Noble Lord whether there was not a distinct understanding that the window tax was to be repealed? Lord J. RUSSELL had stated distinctly a week or ten days ago that the Government were most anxious to proceed with the Window Tax Bill ; but that their in tentions respecting it must depend upon the decision of the House in reference to other matters. BOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. HUTCHINS asked the Noble Lord the Member for Bah (Lord Ashley) whether it was the custom of the Board of Health to appoint as their engineers those gentlemen who go into the country for the purpose of reporting upon the propriety or otherwise of extending their operations to particular towns or districts? Lord ASHLEY said he was not aware that it was the custom for the Commissioners to do any such thing. CONFERENCES. Mr. LABOUCHERE report e d th at the Lords desired a conferenc e w i t h that Honse upon the subject of con rareness generally, and appointed the same to take place immediately. The following gentlemen were then appointed to con duct the conference on the part of the Commons, and left the House for that purpose:—Sir J. Graham, Mr. C. Lewis, Mr. Bsrnal, Mr. Disraeli, the Attorney and Solicitor-General, Sir J. Young. Mr. Card well, Mr. Herries, Mr. Christopher, Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Heyter, Colonel Dunne, and Mr. Labouchere. Upon their return Mr. LABOUCHERE informed the House that the managers on the part of the Commons had agreed to the resolutions proposed by the managers on the part of the Lords, and they had su b m i t ted a resolution to the House of Lordsr desiring their concurrence to the same, which resolutions they had left with their Lordships. A messenger from the Lords soon afterwards ap peared at the table to request another conference with the Commons. The Hon. Members appointed to conduct same imme diately left the House for that purpose. On Cher return, Mr. LABOUCHERE informed the House that the House of Lords had agreed to the resolution of the Commons which was communicated to their Lordships that day. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. Mr. KEOGH asked the Hon. Member for Midhurst (Mr. Walpole) whether the rumour which had prevailed that some understanding or arrangement existed between him and the Government with reference to the amend ment of which he had given notice respecting the &cle siastical Titles Bill was true, and if so, whether his views were in consequence likely to be altered?—(Cries of " Hear," and " No.") Mr. WALPOLE rose for the purpose of giving a reply, hut in deterence to a generA cry of "Nu, no," he resumed his seat without saying a word. Mr. REYNOLDS theteput a similar question to Lord John Resseil. isord .1. RUSSELL said-the proper time to ask such a qaestion w. uld be e hen the House went into a Com untiee on the 13111,—(Cheers.) Mr. REYNOLDS present.!d petitions from the Ca tholic iut , abitauts of the folloNing pla;•es against the Ect.lesissqual 'fides Bill, and the Religious Houses Bill : — Bally more Eustace ; C u lf e i g h t i ne, Antrim; Kir !emeriti. comity of Cavan; Drlmcree, Armagh; prim crilly, Leitrim; Donegal, Donegal; Ballinascreen, Lon donderry; Hollsywood, Wicklow; Crosserlaugh, Cavan; All Saints, Donegal ; Angleton, Lancaster ; Leagon. Armaeh ; Billytieo.a., Sligo; Clonelane, Leitrim; Ge..g:tr and liaihdowey; Queen's C ounty ; Donagh, Monaghan ; Doorane and Mayo, Queen's Comity t Brecon, Brsektieekshire ; Kamcron, Antriz_i Blessing ton, Wicklow; Naran, Meath; Duicroff, Kildare. The reading of the prayers of this number of peti tions by the Hon. Gentleman occupied nearly twenty minutes. Mr. O'FLAHERTY presented several petitions againsl the Bill from various parts of Ireland ; as did also Mr. Greene, Mr. Keogh, Mr. Magan, and Mr. John O'Con• nell - merely tie missionaries in the country. It was then said that the introduction of a hierarchy into this country would be sccompanied by the introduction of the canon law, and that is was necessary to protect Roman Catholics from the tyrannical exercise of the powers of thet law, es shown, for instance, in CABO9 of excommunication. Were human Catholic ecclesiastics the only ones who excommunicate d? Why refer to the excominunications in Sardinia —the circumstances of which, by the way, he might obsei ve, had been greetly eiteggeratee? Why go to foreign countries tor in stances when they had some nearer home—the excom munications which had beeneeferrkl to as baying .been exercised by a Protettant bishop in Scotland? They need not fear any tyranny at this time of day from the undue use of the power of excommunication, especially in this country; for the parties who should be affscted by excommunications had their remedy in the law of the land, and a recent case in point had occurred in Ireland, where a layman who had been excommunicated by his parish priest brought the matter before a court of law and obtained damages against the priest. Another rea son for opposing the motion was to be found in the amendments of which notice had been given, and which, if carried in Committee, would tend still more than the Bill in its present form to drive, H the people of Ir e land t o acts o f civil vio lence. e advised the Noble Lord at the head of the Government to withdraw his Bill, and leave the sub ject in the hands of those Hon. 3lembers who had put these notices on the paper. The Noble Lord refused to tell the /louse what course he would take with respect to the amendments until they got into Committee But he told the Noble Lord that it was his duty to declare his intentions on a matter of so much importance before the Speaker left the chair. The conduct of Irish Mem bers with reference to this Bill had been impugned, hut what was the course pursued by the Whigs in 1846 with respect to Sir R. Peel's Coercion Bill? They first sup ported it, and then, Seeintibit a 7 prospect presented itself if displacing him from power, they turned round and violently opposed it. This measure would raise a cry in Ireland which would never be subdued until some mea sures were introduced really beneficial to that country; and be believed that a pledge would be exacted from candidates to oppose all measures oppressive to the Ro man Catholics, and to spare no efforts to put an end to the maintenance of a Church with immense revenues to minister to the religious wants of a small minority. He amain advised the Government to withdraw this Bill, and introduce measures of real utility. The Noble Lerd was much mistaken it he supposed that he could suepress the Catholic feeling of Ireland, which was only beginning to manifsst itself. This Bill was looked on as the in troducion of the small end of the wedge, which must necessarily be the precursor of ulterior measures. Mr. WEGG-PROSSER said her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjacts asked for religious freedom, not be cause they were Roman Catholics, but because they were Enghshmen. Was it right to contuse the instance of England with the case of other countries which had never enjoyed the great blessingi of religious liberty? The (petition was, whether Ireland was or was not to he included, and it was said that to include it would not fail to stir up a spirit of disaffection in that country. To this, the reply of the Government was, that it was a question of the Queen's prerogative, which extended to both countries. What was the conclusion to be drawn from these conflicting arguments ? Why, that the Queen's prerogative was not concerned in the matter, and that it was a mistake and a fallacy to . put it upon that ground. The test argument was, that it was neces sary to prevent the establishment of the canon law, which, under certain circumstances, was supposed to clash with the common law of the land. He was not enough of a lawyer to say exactly how that might be, but he very much doubted the accuracy of the position. Be that as it might, those who professed the R man Catholic religion must take the consequences of it, whatever they might be, and it was absurd to step in for the purpese of defending them from injuries to which they themselves d- clared they could never be exposed. Very unfair arguments had been urged on this point, based upon quotations of obsolete enactments, for the purpose of proving that danger exist.. d f rom the exercise of the Pope's temporal power. This might have been a valid argument in the middle ages, but the usages of those times hey° passed away, and there was no one who believed that they would ever be revived; nor was the argument brought forward except for political or party purposes. It the Pope had intended to form political combinations dan gerous to England, he had taken the very worst method of carrying out his object. A more plausible argument, perhaps, was, that it was an invasion of the Queen's prerogative, because he had divided the kingdom into territorial districts, and conferred titles of honour. With regard to the first ground, he would observe, that if a bishop were to exercise any authority, it must be within certain districts. With regard to the second, he might remark that the word title was used in an equivocal sense. It might be a title of rank—(Hear)—or it might be a description of the capacity in which a an acted, and that was its meaning in this case.—(Hear, hear.) Another point which bad had great influence on some minds was the supposed insults which had been offered to the British nation. He could not help thinking that there was a great deal of national vanity mixed up with this cry.—(Hear, hear.) Ile did not think the House of Commons could deity that epis copacy was of divine origin, or that it was improper for the State to interfere with religious matters. There was no danger now with reference to the Roman Catholic religion ; there might have been danger at one time, but that time had passed. Bocause there had been a great outcry in the country, and because the country had been lashed into fury, the House of Commons conceived they were bound to do something, but they did nut know pre cisely what. Now this was quite wring, for it was the duty of the House of Commons to moderate public ex citement, not to pander to it. Woud not every one who refloned on the proceedings in Eeglend during the last six months feel ashamed of what had been done? It' every one did not feel ashamed, then he should feel atoawed of his country. He was scandal) ed when walking the streets of the metrop.lis to sue the symbol of their cowmen religion —the cross, made a mockery of. He should give his strutious opposition to the Bill. Mr. CAMPBELL would remark that Irish gentlemen appeared to have committed an inaccuracy as to the ob ject they should pursue and the cause with which they were entrusted, in resisting the metiou 'for the Speaker leaving the choir. lie would remind Irish Members that the success of resistance must depend on the talent and energy with which it was conduc.ed. Mr. TRELAWXY would implore her Majesty's Go vernment not to allow themselve s to go Ott with this Bill. He was desirous of supporting Government, but in this instance they had got into a wrong groove, and therefore be could not support thee. If the Bill were successful, it would be a persecuting Bill; if it were simply a name-calling Bill, then it would be abusive; and in either case it could not have his support. He could not Eve any harm in giving the Roman Catholic bishops these titles. Where was the consistency of Go vernment in supporting the Bequests Act, the grant to Maynooth, and the Education Bill, and objecting to these titles?—(Hear.) The canon law might be oppressive; but it it were so, it was a matter that concerned Ca tholics and net Protestants; te, then, the Catholics fight the matter out with their superiors. He considered that a law like the present, instead of checking the progress of the Roman Catholic religion, would tend very much to strengthen its position and spread its doc trine.. In the outset, he might be permitted is say 00 . as univers a l as t h e f ee li og o f i n dignation s' proceedings of Rome was the feeling of regret O . circumstances sh ou ld h ave occurred to ren d e r t! . sent measure necessary. —(C r i es of •' Hear, ° Since 1829 he believed there bud been ire this c o ' end especially among the Protestant part of the c :: nice, a eiccere, fieriest, and growing desire that rtl. differences should roiegle as little as possible w!ii gious diecuseionse—(Hear, hear.)

The Bishop had published a sentenc° o o excommunication, which the clergyman did to f choose to submit t o , an d conceiving that the 0,0 had no right to pu bli s h such a sentence, the clerirsof brought his action in the courts of Scotland. The D o h came into court and described himself as Dr. Ski n of exercising episcopal f unct i ons within the district 0 Aberdeen. The question arose wh e th er D r . tilEi n b d was privileg e d t o exercise such authority as. 13:04 exercised. As f ar as t h e case went, the Court °l that there was no privilege in the case, and the case; ra terminated by a comprom i se.

On the other hand, he though' that the Government could not afford to despise it, b e " Muse the people of England were as strong in their Pro' testantism at this day as they were in th e year'l6so; and that if the measure before the House had not been intro' duced, when an insult had been offered to their faitk , not hi ng would have suffered so much, in his opinion, 0 the beefed principle of toleration, which might have beet; swept aw ay in the high tide of p u b l i c indignation.-' (Hear, hear.) As regarded the measure, what wog wanted was a strong expression of feeling on the subject. No party in the country had a better right to complain of the act of the Pope than the true-hearted and loyal Catholics of this country. The measure before the House went the least of all others that could peeve be devised to exci te b a d feelings, while at the same time it was all-sufficient for its object.

The passing of the Bill would note therefore, interfere with the functions of the Roman Catholic bishops. Representations had b - en made to the effect that the people of Scotland cared very little for the question at issue. The reverse, how" ever, was the case.—(Hear, hear.) It was true that they had a great fear of Popery in the north, and he thought, therefore, that it was not derogatory to the dignity of his felow-countrymen that these demonstra" times were not greater; but those who thought the temper of the country was changed were grievously vile' taken when they imagined that the old spirit of Scot' land was abated in that respect in the slightest degree , or that because the people had become more tolerant , they were one whit less strong in their faith,--(Heare), Mr. REYNOLDS w as re j o i ced to hear the legal voice of Sc eland in the debae, tho ug h i t was certa inly feeble arid moderate; the legal voice of England bad been heard trim the mouths of the Attorney and Soli citor-General; the first lave officer of t he Crown tot Ireland was, however, silent. —(Laughter.)
