Lord 13 E1TESDAI.F, on behalf of the Duke of MOND, gave notice of a motion, for Thursday, for a Select Committee to inquire into the expediency of en abling the holders of entailed este& to raise money for the purpose of effecting, improvements on the land. Lord WHARNCLIFFR said the subject of providing proper lunatic asylum s in Scotland was under the con sideration of the Government. BR(IIICTIAM gave notice of a motion for to morrow (this day), on the subjeet of railways. After a short conversation between the Marquis of C LANA TCARDE and the Earl of DAT.TIOUHIR on the subject of Irish railways,. The Glass Ditties Bill, the Customs Export Bill, and the Mutiny Bill were read a second time. The Land Clauses Consolidation Bill passed through Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. The llou , e of Commons met at Four o'Clock. A new writ was ordered for West Kent, in the room o f Lord MAFtstiA3t, now Earl of Romm:v. The MidlAnd!ways Bill was ordered to be re• ferred to the Committee of Standing Orders, for the purpose of enaldirg them to institute an inquiry into the) alleged improper conduct of the agent of the MY% Ft .. .BRAND gave notice that on the third reading Gr tf,t mavntmth Bill he should move, " That it is the c,pini.:ll of this House that the 7th and 8:11 of ViorontA, commonly 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 hlaynooth 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 sect or sects, from a State fund, or from a fund received from tithes, rents, &c., whether known by any other name or denomination, is a violation of the rights of conscience, detrimental to religion, and dan 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 lo,e 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 corn 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 ject; 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 waste lands in England and Wales. It would be mach 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 bet n 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 ths 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 ali the " waste and common" lands in the country, where these operations are carried on, withou its being necessary for the Legislature, by some general and sweeping provisions, to " facilitat e " th a t oc cupation of the soil which is everywhere too facile of a:complishment already ? Are these in closure workers, yesterday with Lord WoasLEY, 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, fur that abundant wtalth 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 valley 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 reaicnable " 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 to 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 pas s over the higher cowiderations 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 }Hen 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 desecratin g its objects. Away with these in ci, sures 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. 1 Madrid journals of the 7th instant announce that a bull of the Holy See, reeognising Queen IsABELLA, and ratifying the sales made of church property, will be published in Rome on the 2t;th. 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 ISABELLA as Sovereign of Spain. The Three per Cents. closed at 35i for cash and gerous to civil and religious liberty, and that all such grants ought to be abolished." On the motion of Mr. FERRAND, the petitien 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, Ur. HOPE said that a Governor was about to be appointed to Port Natal. The second reading of the Medical Bill was post poned. The adjourned debate on the Maynooth Bill was then resumed by Mr. H.twEs, 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 MALE opposed the Bill. Lord CASTLEREAGH, who supported the Bill, said DO 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. The 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 lie t night, and it is gratifying to find that not a few Mt 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 the 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, end that will afford them sufficient consolation whatever may be the result. The words of Mr. MACAITLAY 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 THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1845. 351 at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 25i at sixty days ; and the Debt, without interest, at 81 for cash, and 8A at sixty days.

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 • fielder 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 it 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 994 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% to 2D%; but India Stock has gone back to 276% and 276. The New Three -and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 101 1 / 2 to 14. The Foreign Stocks, though quiet, are well maintained. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 304 %, and the Passive 7%; Portuguese Converted have been 65% for Transfer, and 66% for Account ; Mexican Bonds have been 364 ; and Brazilian, 87 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 631%. MEETING IN FAVOUR OF THE GRANT TO MAYNOOTII.-(THIS DAY.) 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 receive. 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 granticg 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 bad 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 Liu eine shall not fix their resi dences within a given distance cf 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. GL - ZoT had addressed another note to the Count DE PONTOIS, French ambassador to the Cantons, in which be 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 corn. 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 things ? 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 its 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 always guided it, abstained from any mani. festation ; but when the gravity of the situation revealed itself by disorders that affected the whole of Europe, the French Govern. meat 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." 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, Lord 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 communicatiln 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 Secretary, 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, i 845. " Dear Mr. Langdale.—Unable to attend the:meeting which you have been good enough to inform me is colivened 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 oincurrence :r, 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 CHAIRMAN 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 oe. 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 Maynooth, 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 avers , 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 passed into a law. For that purpose a series of resolutions has been prepared, which Noble Lords and 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 Casmes said he last year had the honour of presiding at a meeting of the English Catholics for the purposcof expressing their disapprobation of the course pursued by the Government towards the Irish Roman Catholics, and now V 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 not that feeling which prompted them to oppose this measure—it was an intolerant spirit towards the Church of Rome—(Hear)—and au 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 nor contri. bute to the support of an estabishment 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 domeatie 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 greet 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 lie 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 R. Peel might be assured that such a grant as this would excite a different feeling, and if he accom panied 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 deterielled to obtain, and if they did not obtain them the people of this cauntry 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 i— " That the English Catholics in communion with all of every nation of the Holy Catholic Church in communion with the See of Rome, are deeply interested in whatever affects any portion of 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. SLOE, after plying a comp iment 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 Protestant 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 men 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. vernnient for the introstuction 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 110,0001, for the support of the Irish Catholic priesthood were grievously mistaken. Instead of its being such a 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 thcopponents of the grant. At the same time he must confess that he was convinced those persons who opposed it were sincere in ►heir 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. Nor did they oppose the grant because it v‘rai 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 sf convincing them of the truth of their own religious prin. ciples. On the other hand, those noblemen and gentlsnees who bad 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 accoreance 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.) He would again read the resoeitiou, and hoped that, whoever would second it would make use of eny necessary remarks which he might have omitted. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the esolution. The lion. EDWARD PETER, in seconding the resolution, said that as he laboured under indisposition he would be excused from going into those topics alluded to by his Noble Friend who pry ceded him. Whatever they might think of the voluntary system, this movement was solely against the religion cf the people of Ire land. It was nothing but prejudice and calumny that had excited this opposition ageinst this most beneficial measure. He could truly say that he would support every measure tl at would tend to alleviate the wrongs of Ireland, and would tend to cheer its pros pects.—(Cheers.) The French Three pct.

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. squt.re. 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. '1 he 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 fur the settlement. His Lordship took motions, none of which possessed any points of interest. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock .. 3 per Cent. Reduced ... 98 %,% 3 per Cent.

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 be 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 tobe removed, he had 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. Ilis Loßiasutp, 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, 3 21 42 10 1 2 7 1 ,!, 191,; 44 17% The resolution was then put and unanimously carried. Lord EDWARD HOWARD then rose CO propose the following resolution:— That this meeting deeply regrets the tone assumed at this Aare 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 teel their best return for calumny—which, they hope, has arisen from misapprehension— is the charit) and patience inculcated by their Church." The grant to alaynooth 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 he 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 former, 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 Perlis. ment in Ireland, and continued by an exclusively Protestant Par. liament 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. went against this measure; but he believed that they were very little more than paper, for when they c a me 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 ease 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 wad 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 tax the Catholic body with disloyalty. For himself, and the Catholic body in general, he repudiated any such charge if it were made. It was constantly inculcated from their pulpits that they should pay a proper and right obedience to the autho rities and the laws un d er which they lived.—(Hear, hear.) Such were the tenets which they were taught by their religion, and he trusted that the people of England would shortly see that LLO YD'S SHIPPING. IS DAY.) LOND6N, APRIL M.—Wind Northerly.

Such being the case, it must be far from the opinion of any w2l/.informed person that the Catholics of this country would prove disaffected to the Government, if their rights w ere duly and fairly considered. Ile 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 affeetionate 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 he 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 anti affection for the Sovereign were as rife in 'he bosoms of the Catholics of Ireland as in those ofany other inhabitants of the empire. He congratulated the Prime Minister on the progress he hrd already made in this great and well-advised measure; and notwithstanding the 113 petitions of Mr. Hindley, and all the oppositi'm 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 cf their forefathers, there was no snore earnest wish than to see Ireland happy. He knew that those imputations which had so frequently been thrown upo❑ 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 tune 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. He alluded to the sacrifice of certaia Members on the floor of the House of Commons.—(Laughter.) The Church in Ireland originally belonged 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. Me 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 beer the spirit which pervaded their own proceedings that day. Were the speeches of those Noble Lords and gentlemen who had preceded 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 persuasions. He would conclude with moving— " That a petition be drawn up in the usual form for presentation 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 TERN/NGHANI, in seconding the reso, lotion, expressed a hope that the Premier would pay more attention to Lord Saneon, the Noble Member for Liverpool, than to Mr. M`Neill, the rev. incumbent of St. Jude',. 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 Jezebel 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 portion of the world. That there were ten thousand petitions against the measure was a circumstance rather untoward at first view, and 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 tc ith 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 Mayeooth that want of cultivation, or that absence of humane conduct - which had teen 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. Henget], who had been a Professor of that Col. lege, and had now become a Bishop. For this measure, as a religious measure, lie did not care, for, when they were not able to force their opinions from three nalhons 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-countryn - .on by withholding this grant, he, as an Englishman, should shudder at the consequences. He cordially supported the resolution reeved by his Hon. Friend, and thanked the ewe ting for their patient attention. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Sergeant Eirez 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 present 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 tponse 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 representatis e of the Catholic body in England ; and lie 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 liad 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 Shea) 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 he had pleased, on this measure, have put the Minister out of power, he did say that the Opposition were entitled to their very beat thanks. He had heard it asserted that when they obtained this greet, 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 este. blishments 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 he 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 fotsake 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, lie 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 Machie'eelian mechinations 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 HODS.: of Commons, and that the Duke of Norfolk be requested to present it to th e H o u se o f L or d s. _ _ Mr. C. DOUNLEY 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. How 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 Carnoys taken his place, Mr. HOWARD, M.P., moved a rote of thanks to the Earl of Arundel and Surrey for the able: manner In which the Noble Earl had presided over the meeting. The Hum Member thought the meeting would have two objicts, 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. Wm. JqNES seconded the motion, and it was afterwards car.. tied by acclamation- The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY subsequently acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting terminated.
