The Earl of CARDIGAN presented a petition from Lord William Fitzgerald, in favpur of the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenantcy of Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Caer narvonshire, praying for the extension of tho county courts. The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented petitions from St. Andrew's, Holborn, and from places in Suffolk and Staffordshire, against any endowment of the College of Maynooth. THE LAW OF EVIDENCE (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord BROUGHAM, in moving the second reading of this bill, said, that eminent body the Faculty of Ad vocates of the Scotch bar, at first entertained great doubts as to the expediency of extending the provisions of the Law of Evidence Act, which had recently come into operation in England to Scotland, but the experience which had been derived of the working of that measure had strongly inclined them to an opinion in its favour, and they had passed resolutions entirely approving of the present bill, but i suggesting the insertion of certain amendments. He was happy to say that the bill had been so framed as to meet the wishes of that highly respectable body. Lord CAMPBELL expressed his sincere satisfaction at the bill passing with the consent of the Faculty of Ad vocates. They had no occasion to be ashamed of the serious doubts which they had entertained upon the subject, for in the whole history of juris prudence no instance had occurred, until the Law of-Bvideneedifet came intcrnpreration recently, of a plain tiff or defendant being allowed -to give evidence in his own cause. Even the Roman civil law, which was the most consummate work of human wisdom in existence, did not grant this privilege. He had reason himself to be perfectly satisfied with the working of the system, and he rejoiced that his noble and learned friend had in troduced the present measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, in assimi lating the law of the two countries, his noble and learned friend had, in this bill, gone somewhat beyond the ex isting law, having inserted in it a provision respecting the case of husband and wife, which he had embodied in a separate bill for England, which had already received a first reading, and which he hoped soon to see the law of this country. Having been one of those who had opposed that provision in the noble and learned lord's former bill, he thought it only right to state that, after due consideration, he now saw no objection to intro ducing it ; but he hoped, however that nothing would be proposed to compel husband and wife to reveal any thing which had passed in confidence between them. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and Lord BROLIGHAM, The bill was read a second time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. Mr. PHILLIMORE took the oaths and his seat for Tavistock. A number of private bills were introduced and read a first time. The following bills were then read a second time : Add Beck Reservoirs ; Harwich Docks and Pier ; High Ham and Ashcott Roads ; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway ; Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly Rail way ; Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway (Hereford, &c.) ; North British Railway, and Plymouth Waterworks Bills. DEWSBURY, HECMONDWICKE, AND BATLEY WATER BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. HADFIELD moved that it be read a second time this day six months, on the ground that it would deprive the town of Sheffield of the greater part of its supply of water. Mr. LASCELLES seconded the amendment. Mr. S. WORTLEY also supported the amendment. After some discussion, in which Lord E. Howard, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir J. Shelley, and Mr. Locke took part, the house divided — For the bill Against 6B Majority The bill was then read a second time. GREAT GRIMSBY IMPROVEMENT BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, The Earl of ANNESLEY moved that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. TOMLIN seconded the amendment. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn, and tilt) bill was read a second time. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE ASSOCIATION BILL. On the order of the day. for the second reading of this bill, Mr. PHINN stated the object of the bill. It was well known that the Opera, in the Haymarket could not be kept up by private speculation, and the object of this bill was to enable a certain number of gentle men who were lovers of art to carry on the speculation. The house was aware that nearly every Government in Europe encouraged the musical arts, and supported operas in all their capitals, but England had neglected the art as a public question, and its promotion had been left entirely to private enterprise. Hitherto, however, private en terprise had failed in its laudable design, and such a state of things ultimately came to pass as necessitated the formation of this association. For no less than a hundred and fifty years the lyrical drama had found a refuge at the Queen's Theatre in the Haymarket, and the object of the association was, if possible, to perpe tuate its continuance there. The gentlemen forming the association had subscribed for upwards of 198,0001., and the principal purpose of this bill was to limit the liability of each subscriber. He was aware that there was • a great . objection to granting powers of limited liability, but this was an exceptional case, while there was a precedent for the measure in the powers of limited liability which Parliament conferred upon Drury-lane Theatre Association many years Ago. The promoters of the bill bad attempted to attain their object by applying to the Board of Trade, but the Pre sident of that Board had declined to certify for a charter, and they had, therefore, no alternative but to proceed by way of bill. Mr. HUME objected to proceeding .with this bill while the question of limited liability was about to be thoroughly investigated by a Royal Commission. Mr. M. MILNES said this was not the bill of a trad ing company, while it would be of importance for, the house to pause before it conferred powers of limited lia bility, but a bill presented by a number of private gen tlemen of high standing and inestimable character, to further the purposes of musical art. No one man cquld carry on the opera single handed, or a man of Mr. Lum ley's scope and talent would have succeeded, and he hoped the house would allow the bill to go before a com mittee. Mr. CLAY refused to treat the bill in any other light than that of a bill promoted by a trading company, while with regard to the question of promoting the mu sical art, he thought nothing had tended to encourage and extend it more than the private competition which had prevailed in this country. • Sir W. PECHELL thought the bill ought to be post , pond until the whole question of limited liability had been finally disposed of. Mr. CARDWELL said he had reviewed this case with great trouble and attention. The charter was re fused by his predecessor in office, - and after he himself had given. Mr. Lumley an interview of upwards of an , hour, the conclusion he arrived at was that the decision' of his predecessor was correct, and ought to be sustained. Tie admitted the high standing and respectability of the persons who formed this association, but the law of England recognised no distinction of persons, and as the question involved in this bill, which was that of limited liability was opposed to the existing law, he felt bound to resist the second reading of the bill. There was no parallel betwen this case and that of the 'Drury-lane Society ; and as this bill involied an important question of principle, he should be com pelled appeared -79 T he t hF o ou d r i e v e idt thehe e thend secondihv i o duesde, readinguwp h o upon when it.

Mr. MqVIAHON opposed the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. • After some discussion the house divided, when there appeared For the second reading B7 Against it NAMES OF MEN-OF-WAR.—There has lately been a rage for giving outrageous and crack-jaw names to the vessels of the British navy, yet it happens that not one of our battle-ships has ever borne the name of Nelson. CORNISHMEN AT THE DIGGINGS.—A. Cornishman, William Chenoweth, writes to his brother, in the neigh bourhood of Camelford, from the gold diggings. He says :—" I am happy to inform you that I have been suc cessful at the gold diggings , whe re we were ten weeks Ma j ority and four days.

Ibefore Monday next, adding, at the same time, that from the state of public business, it was not certain that the bill could be brought on onrthat day. Lord J. RUSSELL would take that opportunity of mentioning that he hoped the ordnance estimates would be in the hands of members to-morrow (this day). It was his intention that they should be brought forward on Monday next, and the Clergy Reserves Bill on the sub sequent Friday (we understood). THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—EXCHEQUER BILLS. Mr. MASTERMAN wished to put a question, arising out of a leading paragraph in one of the public journals, reflecting on the high character of that body of Direc tors which managed the affairs of tbe Bank of England. He wanted to ask of the right honourable gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank of England were aware of the intended reduction of interest on Exchequer-bills by the GovCrnment previous to the 12th February ? The accusation was that they were aware of the intended re duction for a fortnight previous to that date. Perhaps the right hon. gentleman would have no objection to state when the reduction of the rate of interest was determined on. tees at this time, and he hoped they would do so xcept in cases where their nomination was urgen tl y req • ed. CIVIL SERVANTS' SUPERANNUATIO . f Sir DE LACY EVANS desir e d t o as k th e Cha cellor of the Exch equer w h e th er th e Government interned to take any, and if so, what measures, during the present session, with reference to the petition of th e c i v il ser vants f the Crown, which was presented to that house in the month of December, 1852 I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said 1 that the question of the gallant general had reference to a subject of great public importance—the application of the civil serva n t s o f th e C rown f or a modification Of the Superannuation Act, which would have the ef . itet of materially increasing their emolument. The GOvern ment did not contemplate any immediate change elf any sort in that act ; he was, however, in communication with the civil servants on this subject. He could no say whether any decision would or would not result from these communications, but he could not, without an undue intrusion on the time of the house, their state the general views of the Government upon the subject ; and if the gallant general wished to hear these, the best way would be for him to make a motion. I ADULTERATION OF COFFEE. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Goverrjnent had come to any decision with respect to the mixture of chicory with coffee, and, if so, when the house 'height expect to hear it ? • ' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had good reason to be aware of the great interest that attached to this most vexed and, ho would add, vexing question, and he hoped to be abl e t o announce the intention of the Government with respect to'it as early as Thursday next. , THE OFFICE OF SPEAKER. Sir R. H. INGLIS then rose to move for a select com mittee " to consider the best means of providing for the execution of tile office of Speaker - firtfirWeiifTrlifir Speaker's absence from illness or other cause." He did not believe that this motion would excite hostile or un kind feelings on the part of any one, but that, on the contrary, it would receive the support of all parties. When he last suggested it, it was favourably received by the right hon. gentleman who was then the leader of the house, and he had also a communication from the noble lord the present leader, not only promising his support, but offering to serve on the committee. But this ques tion was one involving so materially the position of the first person in the house, that he should not have under taken to bring forward this motion had he felt that he was acting contrary to the wisilcs or feelings of the Speakar himself. The wonder was, not that such a mo tion was brought for Ward now, but that no provision on the subject should have been made up to the present time. Most of Clem would remember the difficulties that had arisen during the last ten years from doubts re specting the accuracy of the Speaker's warrant, and they should take care that it would defy all legal objection ; but it was still more important that the officer who sub scribed the warrant should himself be duly appointed. It was not sufficient that the house should appoint some one of its members in the Speaker's absence to take his place. The precedents showed that the course had been recommended in former times, and resisted by great con stitutional lawyers, because the recognition of the Speaker by the Sovereign on the Throne was a necessary preliminary to his taking part in any of the business of the house. If that were the constitutional doctrine, he contended that no resolution of the house, no address from the house to the Crown, with an answer from the Crown in favour of such address, would reconalelany adverse party to a proceeding emanating from an autho rity which he was advised to dispute. (Hear, hear.) The same authority which enabled the Speaker to sit in the chair with so much dignity and usefulness, must be employed with reference to the individual who was to succeed him, even for a day, because on that day occur rences might arise that would produce very serious in convenience. He hoped the necessity he had endea voured to point out would never occur, and that the Speaker would long continue to fill his present station ; but when they looked to the uncertainty, not only of life but of health, and not only of the life and health of the Speaker but of those dear to him, which might cause his absence, they must see how necessary it was that his motion should be adopted. Mr. HUME opposed the motion. It appeared that during sixty years there was scarcely an occasion when the Speaker was unable to attend, and when such occa sions did occur the remedy applied was sufficient, and no difficulty was experienced. If the necessity arose the chairman of ways and means could discharge the duty, and when a similar proposition to that now brought for ward was made in the committee up stairs, an honour able member observed that if there was no deputy he would never be wanted, but if there was a deputy it would be found that the chair would be more frequently filled by him than by the Speaker. (Hear, hear.) It might be urged that public companies had vice-chair men, but no public companies were ever blessed with such healthy officers as the Speakers of the House of Com mons had been. (Laughter.) As long as the right hon. gentleman sat in the chair, no occasion, he trusted, would occur for absenting himself. However, they were all mortal, and it was quite possible that some cause for temporary absence might occur, but he hoped the good sense of the house, in such an event, would enable them to find a substitute. Ile thought they should continue the course they had hitherto adopted, without making any new appointment. The motion was put and carried. PAYMENT OF WAGES. On the motion of Sir H. HALFORD, leave was given to bring in a bill to secure the payment of wages without stoppages. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I am sure the house will excuse me if I endeavour to give an answer, in the most distinct terms I am able, to the question of my honourable friend, which is not altoge ther of a common order, relating as it does, to a body which stands so high in public estimation as the Bank of England, and which it is so i mportant to ma i nta i n i n all the estimation it enjoys. The statement to which my hon. friend has referred was the statement, not of a morning journal, but of the correspondent of a morning journal, printed in rather conspicuous type, and it was to the effect, not that there 'was proof, but that there was presumption, that the Bank of England had been made aware of the intention of the Chanpetlor of the Exchequer to redeee the rate of interest on ExChequer Bills to ld. a considerable time before the reduction took place, and that the direction of the Bank availed themselves of this knowledge to sell a large amount of Exchequer Bills at a premium much higher than they would otherwise have bronght. The exact date when the reduction of the rate of interest became known to the public was the 15th of this month, the time when the formal act which deter mined that reduction was performed was the evening of Monday the 14th. I did not think it fit to take any ad vice from the Bank of England, or to ascertain the opi nion of its governor and deputy-governor on the subject, any long time before the decision was taken, and it was only on the afternoon of Saturday the 12th that I ad dressed to the governor of the Bank of England a note, requesting him and the deputy-governor to favour me with their company in Downing-street at an early hour on Monday, nor did I then specifically name the subject on which I wished to see them, but I simply stated that it was a subject on which it would be necessary that a decision should be taken on Monday. I have very little doubt that the governor and deputy-governor conversant as they are with these matters, understood by that note that it must have reference to the rate of interest on Exchequer Bills. But I think the house will see that the statement that no communication proceeded from me before the afternoon of Saturday the 12th is in itself a conclusive answer to the imputation which has been rashly hazarded. (Cheers.) On the morning of the 14th of this month I saw the governor and deputy 'governor on this subject, and consulted with them further, but they left me at the middle of that day not possessed of what my final intentions were. Therefore I hope that if in the mind of any man a prejudice exists on this point, what I have stated will be sufficient, and more than sufficient, to remove it. (Cheers.) I wish further to state, and it is but just to the governor and deputy-governor that I should do so, that they are not in any manner or degree responsible for the measure taken by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that they gave me their recommendation, as they on every occa sion do, in the most frank and friendly spirit, leaving me the most entire freedom to pursue that line of con duct I thought best for the public interests. Sir . J. PAKINGTON begged to ask the Under- Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has any objection to lay upon the table of the house the follow ing papers :-1. A letter recently written by the Lord Bishop of Quebec to the Duke of Newcastle, on the subject of the Clergy Reserves in Canikia. 2. The dis patch from Sir John Pakington to the Earl of Elgin, which would have been sent by the mail 'of Friday, Dec. 16th, in reply to his lordship's dispatch of Sept. 22d (forwarding an address to the Queen from the Legislative Assembly of Canada, on the subject of the Clergy Reserves), had not the late Government ten- dereltheir resignations to her Majesty on that day. Mr. F. PEEL was understood to answer that there was no objection to the production of the Bishop of Quebec's letter. With regard to the second document, the'right hon. gentleman must be aware that the dis patch was not signed, and that there was no instance in which a dispatch in draught had been laid on the table of the House of Commons. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the Under-Secre- tary of State for the Colonies whether the Colonial-office had received reports of the proceedings of two public meetings held in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope on the 22d of Nov., 1852—one at Utenhenge, and the other at Graham's Town—at which strong approbation was expressed of the policy of the late Government with respect`to the constitution ordinances, the latter meeting having unanimously adopted . resolutions declaring the " unalloyed satisfaction" of the meeting at the postpone ment of the constitution, and passing a vote of thanks to Sir John Pakington for his dispatch of September 4, in which ho stated the grounds on which her Majesty's Government had decided upon that postponement Perhaps he should mention that he derived his informa tion on this subject from the G ra h am ' s TOWII, Journal of . . . . November 27, in which it wasstaiedil;atii;;;;;;fv;ei - ---.— at these meetings that copies of their proceedings should be forwarded to the Colonial-office. Mr. PEEL said that he had heard nothing of the meeting at Utenhengd; but the chairman of the meeting at Graham's Town had forwarded to the Colonial-office copies of the resolutions to which it had come. Sir J. PAKINGTON then asked the Under-Secretary for the Colonies whether he had heard that the British portion of the population at the Cape, already so inferior in number to the natives, was likely to be considerably diminished by emigration to Australia I Mr. PEEL said that no information of this kind had been received at the Colonial -office. CUSTOM-HOUSE REFORM. Mr. HORSFALL said that a committee of that house had sat for a considerable time for the purpose of consi dering the present constitution of the Board of Customs, and the system pursued by them, with a view of reme dying the evils complained of by the mercantile body. He believed the late Government had intimated their intention to introduce into the house a measure on this subject, and he wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether it was the intention of her Majesty's present advisers to introduce such a measure, and if so, when ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he could not at present undertake to say whether any measures to be taken by the Government for the improvement of the Customs department and its ma chinery would or would not require an act of Parlia ment. The whole subject was under the consideration of the Treasury, the result of whose deliberations would probably be embodied in a minute ; and if so, he should have no difficulty in laying that minute on the table of the house at the proper time, which he hoped would not be far distant, together with a report of the Board of Customs on that of the committee of the house fkiruished the Government with ez y rt i in which mpartant t hey matter h for th e i r cons id erat i on , • I n one important respect a change, which in point of fact, must be the foundation of all other measures, was in progress at the Board of Customs. To have reduced the number of the members of that board would, under or dinary circumstances, have been attended with consider able expense, but within the last two months, or little more, a reduction had taken place. In December last, the number of commissioners was eight, but about the time of the change of Government Mr. Lushington re signed, which reduced the board to seven, the precise number which had been recommended by the commission which sat in 1842. Within the last fortnight or three weeks, another member of the commission had intimated his intention to resign —indeed, he believed, had actually sent in his resignation ; and the noble earl a t th e head of the Treasury having, after consultation with the chairman of the Board of Customs, decided that it was not necessary that this vacancy should be filled up, the number of the board would now be reduced to six. It would remain for consideration whether any, and if so what, other changes should be made in the constitution of the board, and when the views of the Treasury had been definitively formed upon this point they would be intimated to the house. ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS IN IRELAND. Mr. BUTT said that he wished to ask the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether since his accession to office any instructions have been issued from the Home-office to the authorities at Dublin Castle, with reference to the awarding of rank and pre cedence to the Roman Catholic bishops in Ireland I Lord PALMERSTON—No instructions have been sent on that subject. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. SPOONER presented petitions deprecating the continuance of the grant to Maynooth, and praying that it might be immediately stopped. Captain ARCHDALL presented a petition from Fer managh, praying for the removal of the grant. Some other ; petitions having been presented to the same effect, Mr. SPOONER said that during the last Parliament he had thought it to be his duty to bring under the con sideration of the then existing House of Commons the system of education carried on in Maynooth. He had asked the house for a select committee to inquire into the system of education, and he had stated his reasons for so doing. He had stated that he was prepared to prove that the education there carried on was injurious to society,.detrimental to morality, completely subver sive of due allegiance to the Sovereign, and antagonistic to the holy word' of God. He had stated that as his opinion, having read and studied their works and made himself master of a great number of them. He had then asked for a committee of inquiry, because he thought that very few members of the house had taken the trouble to investigate the system of education taught in that college. He knew of his own knowledge that there were many Roman Catholics, in the house and out of it, who knew nothing of the doctrines there inculcated ; and there was one gentleman, not now a member of the house, to whom he quoted some of those books, who said they were not his opinions, and if they were taught at May nooth the sooner it was abandoned the better. He be lieved the public were not aware of the system of educa tion taught there, and all the consequences that must fol low from it. When he brought forward this question before he had received no small amount of personal abuse, he was met with imputations of sinister motives, and he was charged with wishing to raise an electioneering'cry, but he was not met with a single denial of the truth of his statement. His charge was admitted, and he felt that there was no necessity for further inquiry. He would say more ; he moved for an Inquiry, not from auy doubt respecting the necessity for that inquiry pressing on his mind, but with very considerable doubt whether he was right in limiting himself to inquiry, because he feared that by asking merely for an inquiry into details, it would be considered that he recognised the principle, and thought it was right if the details were correct. He opposed the measure of 1845, and he still held the same opinion ; but still he thought it better ,to ask for an inquiry. He asked that the house would do its duty to the country, to the Sovereign, and to itself. Every one of them was sworn' to do the best In his pOwer to support the Established'religioxi in Church and State. An HoN. Minimal—No, no. Mr. SPOONER begged to refer the hon. gentleman to the oath he had taken. An HON. MEMBER—Read it. Mr. SPOONER would read it, and abide by what he had said. Did anybody deny that the Protestant oath was of the nature he had stated ? Here was the oath ; " I do swear that I will bear faith and true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and her will defend —(loud cries of " hear, hear")—to the utmost of my power against all traitorous conspiracies and attempts whatever which shall be made against her crown and dignity." (Renewed cries of "hear, hear.") Now, what was the oath the Sovereign had taken? Was she not bound to maintain the constitution in Church and State ; and were they proving their true allegiance to the Crown if they neglected to support the constitution in Church and State. (A laugh.) Honourable gentlemen might laugh; but if there was any meaning in the words. "bear true allegiance to her Majesty," they must defend her in the exercise of the duties which the State imposed upon her. One of those duties, and the main duty, was to support the Protestant institutions in Church and State, and he defied any person to contradict him. Here was the form of the oath—" I do swear that I will defend to the ut most of my power the settlement of property within this realm as established by the law, and Ido hereby dis claim, disavow, and solem n ly a bjure any intention to subvert the Protestant Church establishment, as settled by law, within this realm ; and I do solemnly, swear that I will never exercise any privilege which I am or may become entitled to, to disturb'or weaken the Protestant religion or Government in the United Kingdom ; and I do solemnly, in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare that I do make this declaration and every part thereof in the plain and ordinary sense of the words, without any evasion, qualification, or mental reserva tion." The Crown held its , title by the performance of the duty of preserving the constitution in Church and State ; and holy could the Protestant members exercise true allegiance to the Crown, if they did not themselves THE BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. E. DENISON said that he wished to call the attention of Lord John Russell to the state of the com mittee business of the house. Up to the present time ten select committees had been formed, and it was pro posed that there should be seven election committees lord go into whether, in this each week from now to Ea ster .

Lord J. RUSSELL said that he quite agreed with his honourable friend that the great number of commit tees now sitting, or required for the trial of the election petitions which had been presented to the house, was such as to render it desirable that gentlemen should as much as possible abstain from proposing select commit- PATRON-II R. 11.

He was convinced that the system of educe cation carried 'on in Maynooth College really and truly justified the conduct that they all s• justly deprecated - -the violent, unconstitutional, and almost rebellious conduct that had taken place during the elections in Ireland ; • and if any man were tried for those overt acts of riot and disturbance that had taken place during those elections, he might turn to the books in the College of Maynooth, and s ay, " You paid the prie s t for teaching me, and I obey the priest." In those books the doctrine was laid down that everything must be sacrificod for the. interest of the Church. An oath was no longer binding than it was consistent with the Church's interest, and no faith was to be kept with heretics, if the interests of the Church required the abandonment of that faith. (Hear, hear.) He would prove that those were the doc trines which were contained in the books taught at Maynooth ; and he asked if he were using too strong an expression when he said that they justified the proceed ings at those elections by the education which they con tributed to give the Irish people ? Let them look to Ireland, and see what had taken place at the elections, and how the priests had behaved. Let them look to what had taken place at the hustings, and how many of those members who were sworn not to disturb the con ' stitution in Church and State had declared that' they would never rest satisfied until they had equality of religion. (Hear, hear, from several members, the voice of Mr. Lucas being particularly distinguishable.) He was speaking ,in the presence of honourable members who had sworn to maintain the constitution in Church and State, and who had declared that they would give no countenance to any Government unless they 'were forgetful of the oath of allegiance theyhad taken to the Sovereign, and of the-high duty they owed to Almighty trod.. begged to call attention to the following I statements, extracted from Irish journals in reference to proceedings that had taken place in connection with the last election, and would begin with the county of Dublin. In the Evening Herald the following state ment was published :—" In the chapel of Lusk the priest addressed the people at mass ; he called every 1 voter he knew to be in the chapel by name to the altar ; he warned them of the strictly religious character of the struggle now going on in the-face of the congregation ; he cautioned them against voting through any influence or circumstances for any other than certain candidates, and said with respect to those who despised his advice, and the interests of the Church, that he would not be sur prised if their houses were burned over their heads." If a clergyman of the Church of England had said that the whole country would ring with a cry for his deposition from his office. He begged in the next place to read the fol lowing extract from the Kilkenny Moderator :—" They say the most determined persecution of those who voted against their Church has been entered upon by the; Ro man Catholic clergy. On Sunday Mr. P. Ryan, of Castlecomer, who had split his vote between Butler and Green, was going to mass, and as he dropped his money into the box at the chapel-door ' he was collared land marched out by the direction of the priest, and handed over to the tender mercies of a savage mob, who hooted him and pelted him with stones." Then came the county of Meath. A newspaper published in that county had the following, which exhibited the extent to which bigotry was carried on there :—A parish priest in the county of Meath addressed his flock in these terms during the last election :—" In the presence of the Most High, by the living God, and by the crucifix before you, will you not vote for Lucas ?" (Laughter.) He would now read a passage from Saunders' flews Letter, describing the state of things in King's CouSity : —" The priests are busily engaged in endeavouring to persuade the people to return their nominees, bal' of whom are 'lan- strangers in the county. The violent harangues de"vered each succeeding Sabbath from the altar have now assumed an aspect which must be re garded with alarm by all who desire the common peace of the community. The. crusade is against law .and order and the rights of property. From one end ofithis county to the other the most fearful anathemas ' are threatened on the heads of those who will dare to vote against the nominees of the priests." There way' the character of the priesthood of Maynooth, whose educa tion was to elevate their minds, to attach them more and more to this country, a n d t o m a k e th em good subjects. He thought that went to prove howi far the education they got at Maynooth had answered the end intended by the Government in conceding the establishment of that college. He would next read an • extract from the Leinster Express :—" The view into the other world of those Catholics who voted for Mr. Browne (said the Rev. James Maher, at ' the Carlow election) was far from affording consolation ; let them go and be damned." (Laughter.) The same paper said it had been credibly informed that a Roman Catholic clergyman in King's County threatened suspension of the Church's rites against those who would not vote as he desired ; and that a congregation in that county was addressed by another priest in these terms :—" You all know Mr. ; well, he is a black sheep among you. Now, I do not mean to call down the judgment of the Almighty upon him, but if it so happens that he falls from his horse and breaks his head, or that his house or his hay-yard accidentally takes fire, I should not at all wonder." Again , in the Waterford Mail he read : - quoting from the Carlow Sentinel—of the exhortation of a priest in that county from the altar, at the period in question, to the effect that every man who did not Elide with the Church by voting for the popular candidate should be a marked man ; that he should be shunied by all as a person infected ; and that the public should compel their friends and neighbours to vote, if they even dragged them out of their howles. " The battle," the priest continued, " is now between God and the devil— (a laiigh)—and if you do not win, the nunneries will be broken into, the saints of God ill-treated and your chapels broken down." But this was not all. The Carlow Sentinel made a public state- ' ment of the persecution to which persons differing in political opinion from the priests were exposed. The statement was, in substance, that two most respectahle Roman Catholic policemen, named Odier and Make, who had gone to the chapel at Donegal to hear mass, were received by the crowd with hooting and groaning : that they were prevented from entering the chapel ; that they were violently assaulted ; and that one of them, Odier, was severely injured by a blow of a stone on the head. This arose solely from the activitrof these con stables in preserving the peace at the election, and pro tecting the voters who were assailed. The same day, at another chapel, a tenant of Col. Bruen was assaulted with stones, and had to be escorted to the barracks I T the police for safety. He would next read to the house an extract from a letter of the Galway correspondent, of the Western Star. It furnished a still further proof of the prevalence of the system of persecution on the part of the priests against the voters who supported the candidates to whom they were opposed. This corre spondence was to the effect that the Right Rev. Dr. Wllale had declared no Roman Catholic could vote for Lord Derby's Government, except under these circum stances—namely, except he wished Mr. Lacey to em power some fashionable Adonis to invade the sancity and seclusion of the nunneries—except he wished to have the chapels of their religion wrecked—to see their priests in prison—to see the God of Heaven, under the form of bread and wine, exposed to blasphemous and sacrilegious outrage, as happened on a late occasion— except he wished to see every procession permitted, save that of Corpus Christi, when God should hide his face— except he wished not to see their houses of worship pre served to the people—except he wished to see the bishops and priests undergo heavy penalties for violating an un gracious law—unless they wished these things, Roman Catholics could not support Lord Derby's Governinerit. Now, upon these extracts he grounded this argument that they afforded most convincing and unanswerable proof that the endowment of Maynooth College had not answered the expectations which were formed at the time it was endowed. The house was then told that those who were the teachers of so many millions of our fellow-subjects should cease to have a foreign education ; that they - should have an education at home ; that they should learn to feel a sympathy with their own country ; and to be loyal subjects and good citizens ; and that when that was the case, they would no longer be exposed to that system of bigotry which had been so long complained of by almost every Government which had attempted to rule Ireland. He submitted that that part of the case was at least made out ; that so far as the effect of the education given . at ,Maynooth was concerned, we had been grieveaoueselymtheade appointed. (Hear.) And if so there was a out that Maynooth had not aenseswweLehdeutnhd,i the expectations formed respectingit, and the ho a fr t osmomtehlaetncol lege. The hon. member proceeded . of . . to withdraw their supportadcoun te te religious liberty, in which the writer stated that it was from an article in the Rambler on the subject civil and difficult to determine whether the so-called rights of civil liberty or religious liberty, embodied the greatest amount of nonsense or falsehood, and that these phrases, Sc) con stantly in the mouths of both Catholics and Protestants, contained about as much truth as the cry for the inalien able rights of suicide. How, for instance, could Lord John Russell, with any decency, have persecuted the Catholics unless he had protested that he did it in the special Oppositionbenefi tof sacr ed name of civil and religious liberty ; an d how could thoseheeeh benches sho consentco ntin t u o ed in t a o k e sitlawwis for with i t m h e in the cin4 the rich and titled, unless by asserting that it was done for the furtherance of that civil and religious liberty which were the inalienable rights of the people ? The hon. member then proceeded to refer to the case of the persecution in Tuscany as a proof of the little value which was placed upon the great cause of civil and religious li berty by Roman Catholics. An hon. member near him (Mr. Lucas) had, upon a late occasion, actually vindicated the conduct of the Grand Duke, and arraigned the conduct of the house for lifting up its voice in the sacred cause of liberty. He (Mr. Spooner) warned those who were responsible to the Crown and the country for the main tenance. of our P r ot es t an t i ns tit u ti ons not to trifle wi th this important matter. The interests of the country, of the Church, an d o f soun d re li g ion, depended muchi onf he the cours e w hi c h th e Government mightpursue. ande y the cases of were permitted to go into committee, pre pared to respect every individual right h professors and others who might be affected by the uld be with drawal of the grant. But they were not merely educat ing priests for Ireland at May n o oth, lar g e numbers o them were prepared at that college, and sent 4 over to where they were endeavouring gradually to undermine - e institutions of the country. Father Igna tius, the late Rev. Mr. Spencer, had directed Raman Ca tholics to get into Protestant families, not to mind how low was their situation in life, to humble themselves, in order to be true and faithful teachers, to hire themselves as servants in Protestant families, spat° take - every oppor tunity, which such station afforded them of doing their duty to the Church. He knew he might incur the censure of some hon. members for introducing the subject ; but he .would not shrink from saying that, in supporting Popery, they were supporting idolatry—supporting that which would take away from them their only i3cmfort in life and in death, to substitute for it the miserable inven tions of the Roman Catholic priesthood, who, adminis tering what they called " extreme unction," carried on the delusion to the hour of death, and rested not even there, but took from the survivors money, under the pretence that they could administer comfort to the de ceased in purgatory. And all this under the garb of re ligion. In conclusion, he entreated the Government to come forward manfully, and put an end to the support which they gave to this system. The Roman Catholics were now setting themselves up, not for toleration, but with the determination that they should not rest content till the whole incubus of the Protestant Church was removed, and they would go on, unless the Government had the moral courage to stop their progress. He en treated her Majesty's Government to come to the rescue of the coantry, and to save it from the danger which was impending over it, and to throw themselves upon the Protestant feeling of the country, feeling con vinced that if they did so they would be able to bid de fiance to all opposition, from whatever source it might come. He appealed to the Government as a Protestant Government, to its members as the Ministers of a Pro testant Sovereign, to stand firmly by those Protestant principles to maintain which the Sovereign had taken a solemn oath. He trusted that the Government would stand faithfully by their Sovereign, and enable her, by their counsel and advice, to support and uphold th a t Constitution in Church and State which it had been the work of so many years to establish. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That this house do resolve itself into a committee, to consider the act 8 and 9 Vic., c. 25, being `An' act to amend two acts passed in Ireland for the better education of persons professing the Roman Catho lic religion and for the better government of the college established at Maynooth for the education of such per sons, and also an act passed in the Parliament of the Unitett-IrthigilBS for mending the said two acts,' corn monly called the last Maynooth Act, with a view to th e repeal of those clauses of the said act which provide money grants in any way to the said college." Mr. JAMES M'GREGOR seconded the motion. As an independent member of that house, belonging to no party, and ready upon all occasions to tender his vote for every measure, by whomsoever proposed, which he believed to be for the benefit of the country, he ventured to offer the testimony of his convictions of the necessity of inquiry into the College of Maynooth. A large and influential body in the country believed the statements which had just been made respecting that coll:::ge. If they were wrong in that belief, the true way of meeting the case was by inquiry, and to refute it by evidence. If hon. gentlemen upon his left shrunk from inquiry, that fact was a proof there must be something behind the scenes which they dreaded being brought to light. (Oh,. oh.) If a committee of inquiry were granted, evidence would be taken to justify the course proposed by his hon. friend. A MEltißEß—The motion is not for a committee. (A laugh.) Sir..M‘GREGOR--It was plainly put before the house that the motion was for a committee. Several MEMBERS—No, no. Mr. M'GREGOR—The motion was, " That this house do resolve itself into a committee to consider the act 8 and 9 Viet., c. 25." (Hear, hear.) The house would perceive from this that he was not very well acquainted with its forms. But whether the subject was considered in a committee of the whole' house, it was referred to a select committee, he was satisfied that the only way of dealing with the case was to inquire whether or not the information given to the house by his honourable friend was founded on truth. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. M'Gregor) was not a bigot—he was a friend of civil and religious liberty, but he claimed that the allegations made by his hon. friend should be inquired into, and if possible re butted. If the College of Maynooth was a valuable place of education for her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in Ireland there could be nothing in the estab lishment which its friends would not be ready to have ventilated ; but if, upon the contrary, it could be shown that the tenets taught there was not in accordance with what was due to the Protestant Sovereign and the Pro• testant constitution of this country, he could easily un derstand why the friends of Maynooth would. shrink from investigation, whether made by the whole house or a select committee. (Hear, hear.) He had a strong conviction that there was only too much truth in the statements of his honourable friend the member for North Warwickshire ; but he should be glad to be assured that the doctrines taught at Maynooth were in accordance with civil and religious liberty, and with the free enjoyment of the elective fratchise. (Hear, hear.) Committees of that house had reported that bribery and corruption had extensively prevailed at the late elec tion. A MEMBER—Not in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M'GREGOR—They had not yet come to the Irish inquiries ; but what corruption, prevail where it might, could be so terrible as denunciations from the altar against parties who had not voted as their priest/3 expected ? No bribery, no corruption, was more ter rible than this. (Hear, hear.) He contended that, un der all the circumstances, a case had been made out which demanded inquiry. 4 Mr. SCHOLEFIELD moved as an amendment, that all the words after " consider" be left out, and that the following be substituted :—" All enactments now in force whereby the revenue of the State is charged in aid of any ecclesiastical or religious purposes whatsoever, with a view to the repeal of such enactments." In moving this amendment he congratulated himself that the terms of.it did not call upon him to enter on the controversial topics which had, almost exclusively, formed the subject of his honourable friend's speech. If the amendment should fail, as he expected it would, then he should most unhesitatingly vote against the proposition of his hon. friend. It had been said by a number of his own con stituents, and even in that house—Why not make a beginning with Maynooth ! (Hear, hear.) Because he had a strong opinion that, if he selected such an endow ment as the first object of attack, it would be evidence of an unjust and an ungenerous policy. (Hear, hear.) If the question of religious endowments must be taken piecemeal, he was prepared to attack the richer and more powerful Church first, rather than the Church which represented one-third of her Majesty's subjects, and one-third of the most destitute of the population. His honourable friend had quoted the language of the First Lord of the Admiralty ; and he (Mr. Scholefield) would call attention to the warning words of another right honourable gentleman who spoke on this very subject only last year. The right honourable gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Gladstone) then used the following words :--i 4 If this endowment be withdrawn, the Parliament which withdraws it must be prepared to enter upon the whole subject of the reconstruction of the ecclesiastical institu tions of the country." (Hear, hear.) Was his hon. friend (Mr. Spooner) prepared to encounter all the diffi culties of such a reconstruction ? Was he prepared to summon round the Church to which he belonged new elenientsof dung e e a r, r, additi on hear in lHe had thus to its already at dy terated complicated p difficulties ? (H to lead the house from the narrow sectarian ground taken by his hon. friend, and endeavoured to place the ques tion of Maynooth upon the broad basis of religious liberty, upon which alone, in common justice, he thought it ought to be treated.

Itshould be perfectly understood that this was a motion not for inquiry, as the hon. gentle man who had seconded the motion seemed to suppose, but for the entire abolition without inquiry of the grant to Maynooth. It was put in the form in which it stood on the paper—that the house should resolve itself into a committee to consider the acts in question, because it was one of the rules of the house that certain questions could only be discussed, not in the house itself, but in A committee of the house ; but in the committee of the further b e whole house there would be no opportunity of inquiry. sh should or should not be The only point to be discussed there would be the gene- . le, whether h sh et o h u er ld th fu e Perfectly understood, as gen d t iff ie ere; s to m t o h ti a o t n w las hic t h y t e h a e r and he hoped that it would be understood by the public, t l iat the ast year. i e •e a s r e . n t motion The hon.w r c a o i nt p i ri nu n el. hon. gentleman had brought forward on the same sub ject that a select committ ee b e the system of education carried in the College of on .. . . a ni pp a •Ointe&to inquire into assigned sufficient reasons for having changed Ma t ooth.

If malversation were detected, or if the 013 : jects for which the college had been endowed wer? no t at carried out, then he conceived Parliament woul d be liberty either to amend the organisation or to the grant. Malversation, however, had but little to do in the country in the feelings which had been created d e country was a against thin college.

He was not clear with regard to the Church Establishment of Ireland whether the time had not' arrived for the consideration of that question. He would not say with whom the first fault had been, but he con ' leased he could not look to Ireland alone whilst any por tion of the religious instruction of the nation was paid for by the State. At all events he hoped the question would be'considered carefully. He had thus endeavoured to put the question of Maynooth upon its true grounds.
