Scotsman, Madame Maupin born in 1673, was daughter of Dau bigny, Secretary to the Count d'Armansac. She married, at a very fender age, a person named Maupin of St. Ger main-en-Laye, and obtained for him a pl ice in the customs in a provincial town. During the absence of her husband, Madame Maupin who had a natural and decided taste for arms, became acquainted with a certain Seranne, a fenc ing•master, and followed him to Mdrseilles. Necessity obliged them to put to profit the talents which nature had bestowed upon them ; they both had an excellent voice, and were received without much difficulty into the Ope• ratic Company, who were performing then in that town. Madame Maupin remained there some time ; but an acci dent which we shall just relate, obliged her to leave that and the country. She had conceived a tender attachment for a young girl of Marseilles, whose parents, on that account, sent her to a convent at Avignon. When Madame Maupin knew the place of her retirement, she went and presented herself there as a novice, in which quality she was re ceived. Some time after a nun happened to die, Madame Maupiu dug up her body which had been interred, carried it into the bed of her young friend, set fire to the convent, and seized Vie opportunity et trie tumult caused by the file to carry off the young lady she loved. As soon as the flight was known, legal proceedings were instituted against her ; and under the name of Daubigny (for she always made herself pass for a single woman) she was condemned to be burnt alive, par contunzace. But as the young Marseilles girl was found ag +in, and as her friend had had the precaution to escape, the sentence was not executed. Madame Maupin had many other adventures quite as romantic, while she was in the country, where she always appeared in the garb of a man. She came to Paris, and re-assuming the name of her husbami, she made her debut at the opera, in the character of Pallas, in the opera of Cildmus. Dumesnil, an actor at the Opera, having insulted Madame Maupin, she, in a man's attire, waited for him one evening, on the Place des Victoires, and wanted to compel him to fight sword in hand ; as he refused so to do, she cudgelled him most soundly, and took from him his snuff-box, and big watch. The next day Dumesnil re lated in the green-room his adventure, which had already created a deal of rumour, but he related it with additional circumstances much in his favour ; he boasted that he had been attacked by three robbers, again-t whom he had de fended him-elf most vigorously, hut that they had carried off his watch and his snuff box. When he han done re lating his prowess, Madame Manpin who was atoongst his hearers, raid to him : " Thou hest, thou art a coward and a poltroon ! for I alone, did the job, and as a proof of wlia' I say, here are thy watch, and thy snuff-box." The actor TbeHard, who had also offended her and who feared a re pstition of a like adventure, was obliged to remain bidder, during three weeks and at last, to get out of his trouble. he humbly begged pan don of the am,xon. . . Madame Maupin quitted the Opera to go to Brussel•, where she became th.• tnistre►e of the E ector of Bavaria, who settled upon her a pension of 2.000 fiance. Some time after she returned to Paris, and re-entered the Opera. From that moment she sent to all her lovers the bonds they had made in her favour, and kept only the pension of the Elector of Bavaria. B. tug now determined to lead a re gular life, she recalled her husbind, M. Maupin, who %las in the country, and she lived wit't hint in pet feet union. She died in 1725, at the age of 52 years. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, FEB. 2. —News has just been received here, by express, that our troops, in conjunction with those of the Pope, entered Bill. gna without resistance on the 28th of January. The Civic Guard did not hesi.ate to I y Mown and deliver up their arms according to the summons issued for the purpose, and tie whole population has ~ p poiird none of the uieitsu.s..e. , , which, under e 4 ,;,s• jog cir cumstances, have been judged necessary for the public securi , y. It is affirmed, that in consequence the greater part of the Imperial Austrian troops are to leave the city again in a few days and return to Ferrara; the sm ill detachments which remain behind to maintain the police in Bologna, will afterwards, as soon as circum stances likewise evacuate the Papal t.rritory. Thus, by the energetic measures of the Austrian Government, infinite disasters have been prevented, and an end but to the deplorable scenes which are always attendant on anarchy. C unt Raditzkry, the Austrian General-in- Chief in the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, had gone in person to Bologna, at the invitation of Cardinal Al bani, but, it is added, that he left it on the next day to return to Mi'an. DRESDEN, JAN. 29 —Hitherto Saxony has not been attacked on any side by the cholera, though the quarantine is everywhere either wholly done away with or reduced to five days. A public contradiction has been given from Leipsic to all the reports of cases of cholera said to have oc curred there. A post boy from Halle was taken ill at Skenduitz, the last Prussian station on the road to Leipsic, but nothing farther happened. In addition to this, our passage of the Polish fugitives through Leipsic, which is not quite terminated, and those too, coming directly from Prussia, refutes the fears of tie most obstinate conta gionists. It is true, that in Dresd: n, as everywhere else, a malignant scarlet fever, with very unhealthy weather, causes a great mortality. In the last week there were 62 deaths ; a circumstance which has not occurred for years. AUGSBURG, FEB. 6.—A number of Polish officers who passed through Augsburg, have left behind the following expression of their gratitude We who have had the misfortune to be obliged to seek refuge in a foreign country, consider it our duty publicly to express the feelings of gratitude to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, with which we have been in spired by the treatment we have received, with very few exceptions, from the authorities in the Imperial dominions. They cannot dissemble, that truth is as sacred in their eyes as their cause. " May their comiades of all ranks, who shall fellow them through the Imperial Austrian dominions ; and who, by similar misfortunes, have equal chime to benevolent attention, experience in their pilgrimage the same humane treatment." Reports from Berlin say, that his Majesty's son Prince William was on the point of going to St. Peters CONTINUED TROUBLES IN DONEG [-- MOB IN BALLYSHANNON.—A meeting of a si,q;olar and formidable description took place in Ballysli,i,non on Thursday. On the previous day, groups of tho peasantry were seen collected on the adj scent hills, and hu,rns were occasionally heard; but at ten o'clock on Thursday morn. ing a large party came in from the direction of Higgins town, and drew up in a line opposite the Artillery Bar racks, and gave three cheers for Reform ; they then mus tered in the Barrack-field, and shortly proceeded towards Bundoran. On their way they were met by another party from the county of Sligo, whom they received with three cheers, and then both parties returned to the Barrack field, where another reinforcement from the adjacent county bad arrived. They then marched through the town to Fair-green, where they were met by several hun dreds of me❑ from Kildoney. From thence they marched in regular military style, armed with guns, scythes, pikes, &c., firing shots and huzzaing, into the town, over the bridge, and stopped at the Artillery barrack, where they passed some resolutions. Here Captain FERGUSON, J. P., rode up and addressed them on their foolish conduct. A man here rushed out, and, ordering silence, declared that they came into the town to attack the Orangemen, who were expected to be in Bally shannon that day. Other voices exclaimed, "It is false : we come to do away tithes, and to lower rents." They thence proceeded to the office of the Bull yshannon Herald, and declared that they wanted Reform, no tithes, and moderate rents ; and cautioned the editor against mho epre,en'ing them. The editor declares " that he is happy to add that not a single respectable per son was amongst the dense crowd, which consisted of at least 6,000 ; and in justice to them we must say that they did not commit any outrage while in town, which at four o'clock p.m. was restored to perfect tranquillity. He adds that Ballyshannon is a most essential situation for Govern ment to plant a strong military force in, commanding, as it does, the northern and western districts of Donegal, and that it will see the propriety of sending forthwith a suffi cient force for the protection of the peaceable inhabitants. Times.--The editor also publishes a letter dropped into his hfix by " A 8., commanding 20.000 armed men in the streets of Ballymhantion, on Thursday, the 10th of February, 1832," felling the editor to let " His Moat Ex celant Magisty and Govurment know their oppressions of rents,' tithes," &c, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, by command of his Majesty, laid certain papers, relative to the sp:ismodic cholera, on their Lordships' table.—Adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 14. The SPEAKER entered the House and took his seat at Four o'ciork. Mr. SHAW presented a petition from Dublin, praying for a B:11 to estab:ish and construct a pub!ie cemetery, which was referred to a Committee. Mr. HODGSON moved the second reading of the Shields and Sunderland R Away Bill. Sir HEDWORTH WILLIAMSON stated that he was instructed to oppose this Bill, on the ground that the pro posed railway was wholly unnecessary, and that it hrl been brought forward by a few interested The distance between Sunder land and Shields was but six and a half miles, and there was no want of communica tion for the quantity of manufactured goods that are carried from one town to the other, and the rail road would greatly increase the burdens on the Commissioners of the turnpike.. road. He held a petition from the occupiers of land for 44 miles out of the 6j miles, and also one from above 900 n.-rsons residing at Sunderland, against the Bill. The Hon. Baronet, after some further obuervations in opposition to the Bill, concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the 11:11 be read a second time this day six months. Mr. STEPHENSON seconded the amendment. Mr. HODGSON thought that no case had been made out against the second reading. He was in hopes his Hon. Friend was not serious in his intention of dividing the House upon it. Lord HOWICK, in presenting a petition from Nlrth Shields in favour of the Bill, observed that it was a I , rong measure to throw out the Bill on the second read ing, and he should therefore vote in favour of it. An Hos. MEMBER thought the House would be jus tified in throwing out the Bill on a second reading, and , le should vote against it. He was in hopes his Hon Friend would divide the House upon it. Mr. STRICKLAND thought the House was not pre pared now to decide the question. The usual practice Was to allow the subject to go before a Committee. He therefore trusted his Hon. Friend would consent to the s-cond reading ; and any opposition thit was intended to ti e made might be brought before the Committee. The Hou•e then divi Ird , wimn there appeared, For the second reading 55 Against it Majority in favOur of the second reading The Bill was then read a second tnne, and ordered to he committed. Mr. EWART presented a petition from Birkenhead, tgainst punishment by death for crimes against property. foe Hon. AL-mber also presented a petition from Liverpool ~gainst the G•nei al Reeistry Bill. Mr. LAMBERT presented a petition from nine parishes in the county of Wexford against the tithe-system in Ire• land. He objected to the system as being unjust i❑ prin ciple, and tyrannical in operation. It was a tax upon the industry of the country, and the mode of collecting these ithes was alike unjust and offensive. Mr. CAREW supported the petition, and said he was urepared to make any sacrifice, that this great and im portant question might be settled. _ _ Mr. %i'ALKER consitte.ed that there could be nothing inure untrue than to say that the opposition to the pay , went of tithes in Irelsnd was a Catholic . pposition—it was ' an universal opposition ; anti but 1.. r the unhappy slate of tip tat; on in which the .country. asther w the.- wits...a.tthi period, there would not be a single Orangeman thoughout the whole of Ireland but who would be apposed to the tithe system. In such a country, was it not most distressing to think that there should be at ,ernpts made from day to day, by main force, to compel the payment of those tithes. He much regretted the seotim-nts all ged to have b en expressed by tw o N. ble Lords belonging to the Government, for if it was true that Lord Grey had threatened to deluge Ireland once mote with blood, it was withering to the hopes of every Irishman here who has hitherto supported the pr -sent Government, and has already caustd much mischief in Ireland ; but he would caution this Government, or any other, who should draw the sword in that country, and especially to support a system they themselves confess e d to be unjust, that though the bayonets might have their victims, the pikes would have victims also, and it would not be the blooh of the tithe resisters that would alone be sled ; but the threat of force was absurd, fir whatever the contemplated punishment might be, he defied it to succeed ; tor supposing a Minister weak or rash enough, or, he would add, wicked enough to attempt it, where are the prisons to confine, or the fleets to carry into exile, or the executioners sufficiently numerous or hardened to put to death nine milhons ot people ? It was untrue to attribute the opposition to tithes to Catholics alone; it is, and always has been, oppostd by every sect in Ireland, and he firmly believed, it it were not tor the unhappy state of party now in that cottony, there would not be a layman in it found to take the part of tithes. It has been proposed by some to give more power to the clergy to enable them to collect this tax ; but it was the extraordinary powers already vested in the Church, and the atrocious manner in which it has been too frequently abused, that has assisted to make this tax as odious as it is ; and an increase of this power, so far from rendering the payment secure, would make it more obnoxious. To show what power the clergy now had, and how that power may be turned into an en gine of oppression, he begged the attention of the House to the following statement, which occurred to his own knowledge, within the district from whence those petitions came :—A fanner, belonging to the parish of Enniscorthy, was cited to the Ecclesiastical Court of Ferns (the Judge himself a clergyman) for subtraction of tithe. The farmer appeared, the case was called on, and the suit discusse.4 ; but to the farmer's astonishment, though he was the victor, he was condemned by this religious Judge to pay the costs of the suit, and was told that his refusal to comply would increase the costs 10s. for a monition ; the fanner conse quently did pay his parson the costs and got a receipt ; on the following mouth the fanner received a second cita tion for the same tithe, and there being then but one proctor belonging to the Court of Ferns, and who haul been engaged by the clergyman against him, he, at consi derable expellee, procured the atteudance of a proctor Item the Court of Kilkenny; when the case was called on, the Judge refused to allow the farmer's proctor to give his as sistance unless he consented to become a proctor of the Court of Ferns, and pay the admittance fee to the regis trar ; the poor farmer had to comply and pay the lee for him ; this proctor then re erred the Judge to the statute, which alone gives him jurisdiction in such tithe cases, and which enacts that no second citation shall issue for the same tithe, and claimed a dismissal and costs in favour of his client; the Judge admitted the statute, and called on the defendant to prove his defence, who then handed to the Judge the receipt be had formerly received from the clergy ' man. The Judge, without reading it, twisted it up, and the ew it with violence in the proctor's face, asking, How he darrd to give the Judge of a Court of Law an un stamped document ?" and refused to receive it in proof. 'life farmer then referred to the clergyman himself, who was sitting near the Judge, " whether as a man of honour, he had not received the costs of the former citation ?" The clergyman refused to give answer. The defendant's proc tor next said, the Judge had the means of knowledge within himself, and requested him to refer to his order or rule-book whim* lay before him. This the Judge re fused, saying he would not be accessory to defrauding the registrar of his fees; but that if the farmer would nos pay him for making a search, the book should be re erred to. It was then proposed the registrar should be examined as a witness ; but here again the Judge in terfered, on the ground that it would deprive the regis trar of his fee, which at length, as a last resource, the firmer paid ; and the Judge referred to the rule book, from whence he read, that the former snit had been called on and dismissed, and costs given ag .iost the farmer ; but, added the Learned and Reverend Judge, " it must be a mistake;" and he forthwith ordered the unfortunate farmer to pay the tithe then claimed, and also the costs ot this second suit. The farmer astonished, with tears in his eyes, begged for mercy, or at least that the former costs should be deducted ; but the Judge told him, that it he did not pay what was now ordered, a monition should issue at further expence to him, and that if he said a word more, he should be sent to gaol for disturbing the Court, and delaying the course of public justice. Several oth, r causes were next tried that day, for claims by the same clergyman for tithe of tobacco for 1(.1/ per acre. This new claim was decreed to the clergyman, and the Judge followed his sentence, by saving, " That he wished the clergy of the diocese to being suits he• fore him for the tithes of everything that grew in their p riches, and that he would decree in their favour ; and that if they could prove to him that ink bottles grew upon trees. he would tithe them." Another parish from whence the petitions have come is Cirne ; it pr on an average, 10.. an acre tithe; it has only two Protestant families in it ; and one of them, an old gentisman, hail been for the last thirty years perpetual churchwarden— there not being a second male Protestant parishioner; yet the clergyman wanted to force the parish to build a new church, on pretence that the old one was too small for hie congregation. Another of the petitions came from the Union of Duricorinuck, where the rector endeavoured to enforce tithes of eggs, poultry, and milk—a tithe un known in Ireland. Another is from Maclas ; the former rgym ao of which used to erase the slims charged by his tithe proctors in their valuation books, and insert lamer ,tioms in lieu, which he, in some instances, recovered from ntis parishioner's ; but the fraud was at length diacovet ed. Those were a few instances of the tyranny of the present system For centuries has this grievance been complained of ; for centuries have the Irish in vain demanded justice, and he should conclude with the sentiment of a learned and respected prelate—" May their hatred to tithes be as lasting as their love of justice." Several Hon. Members rose, but in consequence of the loud calls for Lord Althorp, The Nosiest LORD addressed the House. He did not think it was proper for him to interfere in debates on petitions, and if this petition were only supported by the speech of the Hon. Member who presented it, he would not have risen to advert to it. But there were cer tain expressions which had been made use of by the Hon. Member who spoke last, which made it necessary for him to enter into some explanation. The lion. Member hid said that his Noble Friend at the head of the Government hail threatened in another place to deluge Ireland with blood on the subject of tithes.—( He ir. ) It was true that on a former night, when an allusion had been made to this su'iject, lie (Lord Althorp) was in the House, and lie heard the charge against his Noble Friend with touch astonishment, and the reason he had not contradicted the assertion was, that he was not au thorised to do so. He had, during the whole of his political life, acted with his Noble Friend, anti he was prepared to state, that while they were both prepared and ready to enforce the law of the country when it was hroken, yet it was a principle with his Noble Friend and himself that when any extraordinary measures were required to enforce the law, they would not enforce it by such means. unless that enforcement were accompanied by a remedy of the evils compla;ned of —( Loud cries of hear, hear. ) That wis the principle upon which his Noble Friend and himself had al ways acted. It was highly necessary that the law should be upheld and illegal combinations suppr.sseci, but if these combinations were excited by the existence of grievances, those grie vauc s oueht to be remedied. That was the principle on which his M , jesty's Government were prepared to act. On the motion that the petition be laid on the table, Mr. HUME. felt confident that the explanation would not only give the highest satisfaction to the House, but that it would allay the extreme anxiety which prevailed elsewhere It the Noble Earl (Grey) had been aware of the number of communications from all parts of the country , which the speech of the Noble Earl had caused, he would feel the deepest regret, The Honourable Alember was very happy to heir the explanation just offered, and was sure the intentions ex pressed by the Noble Earl elsewhere must have been Janie understood.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. O'CONNh:LL heard the explanation of the Noble Lord with unfeigned pleasure. In regard to the collection of tithes, lie knew of nothing to prevent the law being c irried into effect if it were enduratile ; but if it were not endurable, it was impossible for them to enforce the law without holding out the prospect of relief. He tendered his humble thanks to the Noble Lord opposite for the explana tion which had just been given, and he hoped that the spirit which that Noble Lip d had just evinced would meet with co-op-ration elsewhere.—(Hear, hear.) Laid ALTHORP observed, that his Noble Friend (Lord Grey) ft of assured him, that in the . speech which vas the subj at of the present discussion, he did not in the slightest degree depart from the principles which he (Lord Abbots.) had just laid down.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SHAW, with much reluctance, obtruded himself e u s i p a e in cia th ll e y p were itletain,:guroenbethsiislegnute,mitnioonre, but he could not sit still and hear the clergy of Ireland heli d, nor could he hear combinations which were 11 Wil u e s n e. Co li m e tri7t . t o e u e l s d against the law of the land called " combinations of well. dispos e d persons." Tire clergy had been called extortioners, and treated with harshness. The fact was that a more patient and enduring body did not exist than the Protes tant clergy. In the most disturbed districts, from calculations which had been made, it appeared that the amount of tithes demanded by the clergy did not amount to one-twelfth of the rental paid to the landlord. He spoke particularly of Queen's county, which was the most disturbed district in Ireland, and in which the demand for tithes did not amount to one-twelfth of the rental. He denied that in those disturbed districts the combinations originated with tithes or taxes. He could not agree with those who asserted that it was legal to refuse to pay tithes, and only illegal to enforce the payment by violence. He contended that they were hound by law to pay the tithes. The Hon. Aletnber then related a fact within his knowledge of a parishioner riding three miles to carry the amount of his tithes to his Protestant minister. Instances of a similar nature could he adduced. Another clergyman had told him that a meeting had been held against the payment of tithes, at which a Protestant attended, and on being asked why he did so, he stated he was the only Protestant in the parish who lived in a thatched house, and that if he had not at. tended his house would have been burned to the ground. After such a statement could Hon. Members say that the present opposition on the part of the Pro testants was a withal; one ? With respect to the allegations that this system had not commenced latterly, but was of long standing in Ireland, Hon. Gen tlemen knew perfectly well that some few years ago tithes were paid as willingly in Ireland as rents. They were looked on as a mere charge on the land, and it was pro verbial i n th a t country t h at t h e C at h olics were the best tithe pr a y ers . Th e oppos i t i on ra i sed was to be traced to th e C at h o li c clergy. He was not an advocate fur the keep ing up ol th e t i t h e system altogether, as it at present existed, but as l ong ;,s t h e present system remained the law of the land, and force was used to resist the payment of tithes, that loree must be met by force. Mr. BLAKENEy, in supporting the prayer of the Sir ROBElnßih'isP petition, said . that the Committee appointed to inquire opinion EEf s t i y r t , he i s t t h v a e s re b t e h e e n c m h y ole u r n a ifo tl: m at into the tithe system was a complete nonentity.-- (Cheers.) wish difficult ffi e utiot exercise cuss, s n s y_ , littlewithout h influence oot preju prejudicing u t i n n i g g h t t h l a i afflicted Ireland. e i s t o ld egTvteion hereaftersvltieh t i , t ) purpose of discouraging premature discussions on subjects and I shall not be tempted by the example of any of the gentlemen who have preceded me to enter into a discussion for which the House in its present state is not fit ; but I do repeat . my earnest advice to gentlemen that they will reserve. their Judgment until the House shall have laid be fore it not merely the opinion of the Committee which this it has been their pleasure to appoint, but the evidence will bmeosttheimlpillotrytanotf qttau:eiefs:utlilfollirco;ottLhns also on which that opinion is founded, and when they shall have the power of determining for themselves whether that opinion is warranted by the evidence. I cannot, however, but express my deep regret, when we have reaso n to expect that at no very distant period sonic report will proceed from that Committee, of the decla rations made by Ministers of the Crown in the two branches of the Legislature—( Hear, hear, hear)_ which, whether they be reconcilable will each other or not, ate at least calculated to raise impressions and ex pectations totally at variance with each other. Sir, the speech of the Noble Lord just delivered is one that wil make the deepest impression. 1 presume it originates in some change in the intentions of his Majeaty's Government. —.(Hear.) It it does not, I for one will not be a party to the delusion which I think the speech of the Noble consider the speech of tae Noble Lord as calculate , : to pre clude the enforcement of the laws. The Noble Lord ha• positively sated that the laws should he enforced, whilst the grievance ghoul t be effectually remedied, Sir, to make that declaration, unless his Majesty's Ministers have some specific plan for what they call the effectually remedying that grievance, is calculated to make it impossible to enforce the law. If Government are prepared to bring forward some plan as an effectual provision for the clergy, different from tithe. I hope that without delay it will be brought forward, and thereby relieve the Committee from their I ibour. and responsibilities. __(Loud cheering.) Lord ALTHORP thought that he had sufficiently , guarded while he it distluctly the deteriniira tion of his Majesty's Government to enforce the law of the realm, but if resistance to a law had taken place, in consequence of a grievance in the: country, that grievance ought also to be remedied. He could not see how his declaration could have the effect of Preventing the due enforcement of the law.—(Hear, hear.) He did not apprehend that in the Committee any thing had passed which could make it impossible that a remedy for the existing grievance would be pro posed. At the same time. what extraordinary power would he sought to carry it into effect, whatever that remedy might be, d-pended on future considerations. It was not for him to declare it to the House now, but the measures of Government having been misunder stood and mi-represented, he considered it necessary to state the principles on which they intended to act, and he guarded himself carefully in stating that it was their determina tio❑ to enforce the laws.—( Hear.) After a few words from Mr. PELHAm, Lord MILTON observed, that there could be no doubt grievance existed, but he wished the people to know, that the landlord, and not the tenant, would be the gainer by the abolition of tithes. Mr. GRATTAN said that no force under the controul of the Government at present coirlii collect the tithes in Irel end. Every one was, he believed, fully convinced of that fact. He denied that this was a Catholic conspiracy to refu-e payment of tithes—the feeling of opposition to the tithe system was general in Irel old. He hims-ilt was a Protestant, and he had many Protestant tenants; and he believed that most, if not all of them, were dissatisfied with the pr sent tithe system. Sir R. PEEL, in explanation, said that he was not an advocate for the rigid enforcement of the law, and was not disinclined to admit that some remedy was required, and to listen to it when proposed. Mr STANLEY regretted this discussion at the present moment, because it seemed to him a little premature; as the fact was, that the Committee appointed to examine into this subject were about to come to a decision which, if not quite, would be at least nearly unanimous. He had not heard the observations of his Nob e Friend near him, nor of the Noble Lord in the other House, but he was ready to declar e himself, that the Government would not have come down to Parliament to ask for a coercive mea• sure unless they felt at the same time that they were able to promise relief.—(Cheers ) At the same time, as a jus tification for the coercive measure in the first instance, he wished to ' , mind Hon. Members that a measure of relief, especially if intended to be one of permanent and eubstan tial relief, was of a nature mare complicated, and would require more time for • its preparation, than would a measure of coercion, that was required solely for the vindication of the law..—(Hear.) He, however, again repeated, that the Government would nut readily have undertaken to bring forward a c ercive measure, if, at the same time, they had not been able to promise the introduction of a measure of relief. Mr. CROKER was glad of the explanation just given by the Rght Hon. Gentleman, by which he supposed that the Ministers would execute the law immediately, but that at the same they were prepared to introduce a measure to remove, not the existence of the tithes them se l ve s, but the evils attending their collection. Mr. STANLEY said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman supposed that the attention of the Ministers was not di rccted to the existence of tithes. He begged leave to say, that their attention Was directed to secure the main tenance of the Protestant c'ergy, and at the same time to the existence of the system of tithes.—( Hear.) Mr. SHEIL said the last declaration of the Right Hon. Gentleman was as satisfactory as it was explicit.—(Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman proposed coercion first, and said at the same time that he was prepared with a measure of relief. That had been the course pursued by the Right Hon. Baronet opposi-e, on an occasion which they could never forget—( Hear, hear)—the occasion when the Right Hon. Baronet asked that House to put down the Catholic Association, and to pass a Bill for the Relief of the Catholics; saying at the time, that if the Bill of Re lief was nor passed, he should abandon the Bill fur suppres sing the Associatiou.—( Hear, hear.) Recollecting, as he must always gratefully recollect, that circumstance, he should not now ask what was the measure of coercion, since lie found it was to be accompanied with a measure of liositive relief. He had no wish whatever that the money taken from the clergyman should be put into the packet of the landlord. Let a tax be raised, let provision be made, to secure to the clergyman that to which he was justly entitled, deducting only the charge for the receivt r. ship; and it, after the death of the present incumbents, that which was deemed at least by the people to he public property, was applied to purposes of public utility (one of which purposes was the decorous maintenance of the religion of the State), the peop'e of Ireland would be satisfied; but no measure that oierely went to secure in a better manner the present incomes of the clergy w ou ld ever content them. LEFROY said that if such a measure as that sup posed by the Hon. and 1...-arned Gentleman who had jut spoken to la, in contemplation should be adopted, he should cease to attend the future m' stings of th Committee. He hoped that the Right Hon. Gentleman would disclaim any intention of introducing such a measure, and say distinctly whether the tithes were intended to be appropriated to any other purpose than the maintenance of the Established Church ? Mr. STANLEY answered that be was responsible fur his own language, but was not responsible fur that of an other person. He thought he had stated as far as was proper or requisite the views of the Government ; and with respect to the threat of the Hon. and Learned Gen• tleman, he should only observe that much as he might regret the future non-attendance of the Hon. and Learned :111ernber, the other Members of the Committee would re collect that his first attendance at the Committee had been on the day before yesterday. The petition was laid on the table. Mr. LAMBERT, on moving that the petition be printed, assured the Noble Lord that he had never meant that the amount now paid in tithes should be merely taken from the pocket of the parson to be given to the landlord. Mr. WALLACE defended the conduct of the Ministers with respect to the question of the appointment of the Com mittee, and asserted that they had dune more for the satis faction of the country, by the line of conduct they had adopted on this question, than they could by any ether that had been pointed out. Sir R. INGLIS thought that the last observation of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite had only tended to esta blish a premium for discontent. In future it would be a mere question of the amount of openly expiessed discon tent required to put down any grievance ; and the neces• sary amount of discontent being found, it would be readily applied for such a purpose, and the evil would disappear. Di.l not the Ministers perceive the evil effect of the prece dent they were thus establishing ? Did thi y not perceive that if they gave up one great body in the country, they would never be as well able to defend any other that might he attacked ? The petition was ordered to be printed. CHOLERA. _ _ Lord ALTHORP brought up some papers on the sub ject of the cholera. Mr. CHOKER wished to know whether the cause of the appearance of the disease had been at. all traced to any well ascertained cause? He understood that tine of the first eases was that of a man who had been employed in clean ing out a. ship that had recently arrived from Sunderland He wished to know if that was the fact ? Mr. P. THOMSON said, that as fa; u the information terred to had not been in communication with the crew, i w m l s t , o se l v ie err, i d ik e d ra g t e oo h d im h se ad lf be to en t a h l e l changed. He. as the question had come upon hi m unexpectedly. ofiltehewseoudbeitaniolts, could assure the House, that every exertion should he made to procure the most exact information with regard to all the eases. Mr. CROKER said, it was impossible to expect more from the Government. The statement made by the Right Hon. Gentleman was of great importance ; and I etomight that enough had now taken place to direct the attention the medical profession to one most remarkable fact, with a view to enable them to ascertain the cause of the spread. ing of the diseas e , and the means to arrest that clime Mr. WARBURTON wished to mention a circumstance of which he had been informed in the c , atr,e of the day. He understood that the buy of one of the persona who had died had ben visited by mul-itudea of spectators, who went into the room where it was. and there inliaierl the attnospbere of the close room in which it lay. He deprecated, in the strongest manner, Th. .rratifieation of such idle curiosity, and wished no take that opportunity of stafmr., that it was the duty of the parish r fficer% and of the p lice, In ore, nt the repetition of such conduct Colonel EVANS wished to have some intornurion re specting the case of a soldier w the Gu irds who had been attacked with cholera, and who was mended duriug his illness by a great number of persons, non- ~ f whom had since suffered any thing ;—a proof, if the fact were as be understood it, that the disease was not of that den! eiously contagious nature which it. had been revrraeri‘ed In Sunder! ,nd, it had appeared that th disease had spr , ad more to theo'northward and snuthw which w .s another ;goof of the ••Jme fact; for °oh., wise it would h •• nearly equ ,Ily all ar..und. Ile berxed t'i ask, whether there was any objection to lay the pipers r.-lating to the case of the soldier of the Guards before .lie II .use? Mu. P. THOMSON said, the only pavers he knew of relating lo that case consisted of a report, in which t e medical men distinctly attributed the soldier's illness to other causes besides the chol-ra. lie did not kn , .w any objection to lay the papers on the table, except that they did not relate to the subject. The papers brought up by Lord At:rimer were laid on the table. REFORNI. Lord ALTHORP stated, that it was the intention of the Governnornt to go into a Cummitt•:e on tr,e 11. , / , .tro Bill to-morrow. SHERIFFS. Mr. F. PALMER moved tor leave to bring in a Bill to diminish the expences incurred by gentlemen who s, reed the office of Sheriffs for counties. tic observed upon the present abuses, on the cot which the ffice (tc casioned to any gentlemr.n Wii9 was c 11 d on to fill i!, and o n the excuses which all therefore were most anxious to make when the Jouges assemhied at Ai , clt-ltwo4 Term to nom hate gentlemen to the office. 11e th. og. t O a r .his repugnance to fill an important off: e was to the country, and ougl,t to be obviated, if ;t were pot- And that the cause of that repuen ince %vas to 1.. found in the heavy expences which the office now entailed upon all who held it. The object of his Bill would be to relieve them from thew exoe“ces, many of which wer e totally unnecessary. When he had introduce-101e Bill, he .houl I not with to hurry it through the House ; hut he should he willing to refer it to a Committee up stairs, in order to insure the adoption of ' , very possinle improvement. After a few words tom Mr. Pac Ex. Mr. Gonsruf, toil Mr. GEORGE BANKES, leave was givtn to bring in the Bill. MEMBERS' PRIVILEGE FROM ARREST. Mr. BARING moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law which exempted Memb-rs of that House from arrest. All would aeree with him, that those privileges which were not ca , colated to add to the independence and the dignity of that House. or to secure in the fullest man ner the attendance of its Meintiers, were unnecessary, and they were the less fit to b- continued, if, at the same tame, they tended to the degradation of that House, and to the production of an unequal state of the law between man and man. When such was the case, the sooner the pri vileges were got rid of the better.—(Hear.) The privi leges of exemption were of two descriptions—fleet, the exemption ft= arrest. as respected criminal proceedings ; and, secondly, the privilege of exemption from arrest for personal debts. The privilege against arrest on criminal process hail usually been dealt with in the way of resolu tions; and with regard to civil actions in old time, no suit of the kind could he maintained against a Member of Parliament. The Act of I J 49. 1., was a declaratory statute for the purpose of removing doubts upon the sub ject, maintaining the privilege, which remained untouched until the 12th arid 13th of Wen 111 , which was entitled, " An Act to prevent inconveniences that may happen by the privilege of Parliament," and by its provisions a Mem ber of Parliament might be sued in the intervals between the Sessions, and then only. The 2.1 Geo. 11. was passed to enable creditors to sue their debtors, being .]embers of the House of Commons, not only during recesses, but during the sitting of Parliament, still preserving them the privilege from personal arrest. The next statute on the sulij-et was the 10th Geo. 111., which gave a creditor the power to proceed against a Member of Parliament by distress and the seizure of his goods. Hence the House would see how the subject had been gradually dealt with by Parliament—privilege accommodating itself to the alteration of the times, to the progress of know ledge, and to general improvement. Jealousy of the power of the Clown was the early origin of privi- Itge from arrest; but, as the law became better adminis tered, and the authority of the Crown limited within bounds, that privilege had been converted into a non-liebility to arrest in civil actions. One of the most remarkable changes was made by the 52 , 1 of Geo. 111, which was passed to deprive M, mbers of their s , ars if they should become bankrupts, and should not, within a certain period, pay their creditors in full. This brought him to the Point of the farther reduction of privilege he p , optised ; he did not mean o touch the right of exemption from con fieement in certain criminal proceedings, nor to destroy the privilege of freedom from arrest on mesne process ; his intention by the Bill was to deprive a Member of his privileges in the event of actual judgment against him, supposing that within three months (or any other limit, the House might think proper) aft , r ju lement, he did not pay the debt. In the words of the preamble to the 52d of Geo. 111., it was " essential to V../ digni y and character of the House," that no man should be privileged to sit in it who set his just creditors at (id inee.— (Cheers.) The statute just named excluded bankrupt Members ; but many men, especially merchants, became bankrupts without the slightest imputation upon their prudence or their honour. Why thin, he would ask, hull an in fivi to if rho lncurred d bts tetitli the to a:3B of discharging them he protected ?—(11e•r. hear.) Many cases of real grievance might he d. but he would only advert by way ~f illustration to that of Mr R 'bete Ch r i s ti e Burton, in the year 1820. While confined in the Fleet, he procured himself to be returned for Beverley, and claimed his discharge from prison, and his privilege. A Committee reported in his favour; he came into the House once—did not make his appearance a second time— hut left the country and his bail. The exte cite of such a privilege was degrading to the dignity and character of the House, and in order to prevent the occurrence of such cases in future, the Hon. Member moved for leave to bring in a Bill " for limiting the privileges of Aletnbers ,f the House of Commons as to exemption limn personal arrest—for vacating the seats of insolvent M .mbere to custody, and for preventing the election of preeons avow edly insolvent, to serve as Members of the House of Commons." Mr. HUNT seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN bore testimony to the ac curacy of what had been said regarding Mr. Burton : he had been one of the unpaid cred , tors of that gentleman ; for on the death of his wife, Mr. Burton's sisters bought mourning at his (Mr. Alderman Waithman's) shop. Sir C. WETHERELL said, that in limiting the privi. leges of Members, and levelling them, as eras suppor-d, to the footing of the rest of the King's subject s , care ought to be taken that they were not placed in a movie condition. A Member of the House of Commons, who was ejected , in account of not being able to pay his debts, would be exposed ant only to the inconvenience which others suf fered, but to a degree of disgrace to which others were not exposed. Mr. CROKER supported the motion. Mr. LAMBERT opposed the Bill. After a few words Irom Mr. BARING,'I,avr was given. ENLARGEMENT OF THE HOUSE. Colonel TRENCH rose to direct attention to the state of the builoilig for the House of Commons, and the offices belonging to i'. The Committee , which i had,a l ready sat on th e subj e ct, had in their first rest utio n d eart d, that the House did not afford sufficient accolano. •iation to all the Members. •He would not then enter into the details on which they founded that opinion, but at once o bserve, that the same committee, in their second re solution, after hearing all the evidence on the subject, de clared also that no alteration of the House which h td been sugg , B ted could, in their opinion, afford such additional accommodation as the health and convenience of the Mtn.
