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 say, " You paid the priest for teaching me, and I obey the priest." In those books the doctrine Was laid down that everything must be sacrificed 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. THear, 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 lie said that they justified the propeed 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 unlesi they were forgetful of the oath of allegiance they had taken to the So reign, and of the high - duty theyewed God. He begged to call 'attention to the following 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 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 wbo 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 and 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 presenbe 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' News Letter, describing the state of things in King's County : —" The priests are busily engaged in endeavouring to persuade the people to return their nominees, both of whom are utter strangers in the county. The violent harangues delivered 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 of this 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 was the character of the priesthood of Maynooth, whose educa tion was to elevate their minds, to attach them more and more to this country, and to make them good subjects. He thought that went to prove how 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 exhortatibn of a priest in that county from the altAr, at the period in question, to the effect that every man who did not; side with the Church by voting for the popular candidate should be a marked man ; that he should be shunned 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 houses. " The battle," the priest continued, ", is now between God and the devil— (a laugh)—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 respectable Roman Catholic policemen, named Odier and Mare, 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, Odder, was severely injured by a blow of a stone on the head. This arose solely from the activity of 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 by the police for safety. He would next read to the house an extract from a letter of the Galway correspondeht 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 enrre spondence was to the effect that the Right Rev, Dr. M`Hale 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 saticity and se. lusion 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, uncle* the form of bread and wine, exposed to blasphemous, and sacrilegious outrage, as happened on a late occasibn— except he wished to see every procession permitted, save that of Corpus Christi, when God should hide his fa,ce— 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, Raba= Catholics could not support Lord Derby's GovernMent. 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 grievously, dis appointed. (Hear.) And if so there was a case made out that Maynooth had not answered the expectations formed respecting it, and the house was bound, in his opinion to withdraw their support and countenance from that col lege. The hon. member proceeded to quote at some length from an article in the Rambler on the subject of civil and religious liberty, 'in which the writer stated that it was 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, so eon 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 L or d John Russell, with any decency, have persecuted the Catholics unless he had protested that he did it in the sacred name of civil and religious liberty; and how could those who continued to sit with him in the Opposition benches consent to make laws for the special benefit of the rich and titled, unless by asserting that it was done for the furtherance of that civil and religious • 2 Theliberty which were the inalienable rights o f the people lion. member then proceed e d t o refer to the case of the e persecution in Tuscany a s a proo f of thelittle 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 th e G ran d 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 Protestant institutions not to trifle with this important matter. The interests of the country, of the Church, and of sound religion, depended much on the course which the Government might pursue. If he were permitted to go into committee, he would be pre pared to r es p ec t ever y i n di v id ua l right and the cases of professors and others who might be affected by the with drawal of the grant. But they were not merely educat ing priests for Ireland at Maynooth, la r g e numbers LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING,', FEBRUARY 23, 1853. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Admiral Sir W. Hall Gage, G.C.H., Captain the Hon. R..S. Dundas, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, Colonel Greene, Chief Director of Admiralty 'Works, and Mr. Walker, civil engineer, visited Dover on Mon day, and inspected the harbour and defences of the port. They returned to town in the evening, and yesterday morning proceeded to Portsmouth to embark in the Admiralty steam-yacht Black Eagle, Master Commander Petley, for the Channel Islands, to inspect the harbaur, works, and defences there. Commander John Hiatt (1848), on the retired list of 1816, died on the 11th inst. at Truro, aged 68.. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW uoss.—LSir James Graham, the First Lord of the Admiralty; under whose patronage this school was projected in 1831, has hand somely .expressed through Admiral Bowles,, the presi dent, his intention of continuing to give annually, for competition, among such of the students of this insti tttilin as are the sons of naval and marine officers, the marine cadetship which was granted by his predecdssors in office. THH MEDITERRANEAN FORCE.—Admiral Dundas's force in the Mediterranean will amount to a fleet again on the arrival of the Rodney, 92, Captain Graham, C.B. We learn from Malta, Feb. 12, that the Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, left that day for Naples : the'Retri bution, 28,- steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. H. R. Drummond, and Niger, 14, screw-sloop, Commander Heath, left, for Nice on the 9th inst. ; the Sampson, 6, steam-frigate,- Captain Jones, left Malta that day ; and the Modeste, 14, Commander Lord'Crompton, with the Spitfire, steam-vessel, Commander Spratt, left on the 12th for Messina. PORTSMOUTH / FEB.FEB 22 • The Agamemnon 91 screw two-decker,, Captain Sir Thomas • Maitland; for her steam at Spitheiul this morning, and came into harbour. She sent seven more cases of fever to Haslar Hospital yesterday. It iv reported that her crew is to be hulked and the vessel fumigated. The Blenheim, 60, screw two-decker, Captain Hen derson, C. 8., proceeded out of harbour this morning'for trial, and saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., the acting Commander-in-Chief. She went down as far as Cowes. Lieutenant Louis R. Reynolds is ap pointed to this ship, vice Cunningham, superseded from ill health. The Leopard, 16, paddle frigate, Captain George Gif ford, has removed from alongside the Camperdown hulk this morning to make room for the Agamemnon. The Odin, 16, paddle frigate, Captain Francis Scott, was officially inspected to-day at Spithead by Captain Henderson, C. 8., of the steam reserve. Her ship's company . were mustered on their stations, fire quarters, quarters, arid all examined as to their knowledge of their duties, and whether they were supplied with every thing necessary for their various stations. The exami nation wa's minute, especially in the engine-room and bilges, and every particular found correct and satisfac tory. Captain Henderson expressed his pleasure to Captain Scott with his inspection, and the highly effi cient state of the ship. She has a few cases of influenza on board, but is well manned and ready for sailing orders. The Thomas Arbuthnot, chartered troop-ship, received on board early this morning the head-quarters of the 48th Regiment at the Shears Jetty. She came out of harbour at 11.15 in tow 'of the Echo steam-tug, and under 'her own topsails, jib, and spanker. On passing the saluting battery (where the garrison troops were en gaged at the great gun exercise) the 48th gave them three cheers, wich was instantly returned with right good will. She lay to at. Spithead till 4.30, at which time she put to sea for Corfu. The Rattlesnake, 8, Commander Trollope, has com pleted. taking in her stores,. and is down to the 17 foot mark. She looks very deeply laden. SHEERNESS, FEB. 21. The Rhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master Coro-• mander John Belam, after discharging stores for this port, left here at 10.30 a.m. this day for Woolwich. The Barracouta, steam-sloop, Commander George Parker, on her return from Portsmouth, when off the South Foreland on Thursday last, fell in with the sloop Sarah Ann, of London, laden with stone for the works going on at the Houses of Parliament. The Sarah Ann had an ensign hoisted in her rigging, union down, and the pimp constantly at work. She was taken in tow by the Barracouta and assistance sent on board. She was towed up to the Nore and from there cast off, and pro ceeded for London in a disabled state. The Espibgle sloop, Commander George Hancock.--: The master of this sloop, Mr. Thomas Huss, whose health has been much impaired by the climate on the coast of Africa, where he has been recently serving, has this day been sent to Melville Hospital at Chatham, he being rendered quite incapable of perforniing his duty from severe illness. COMMANDER KENNEDY, OF THE COAST GUARD, AND THE " WRECKERS."—The name of this officer is getting familiar to the ears of the inhabitants of-this neighbour hood and the coast, for his ever readiness to render aid to the distressed mariner, under all and every circum stance. It will be recollected that it was this officer who disp4tched his cutter in search of the unfortunate crew and passengers of the ill-fated Amazon, and by his di rection the men of the coast-guard station protected, as well as their small force was able, the property that floated ashore from the wreck of the Ocean Queen, in Bigbury Bay. It is a disgrace to the name of English men that there should be so little respect for the rights of property on occasions of misfortune to their fellow creatures, and particularly in cases of shipwreck. Not withstanding all the efforts used, the thefts on the wreck •of the Ocean Queen are a known to have been considerable, and, in accordance with in structions from Commander Kennedy, a strict watch had been set for any circumstances likely to lead to the recovery of the property. One day last week it was reported that some papers, apparently belonging to some of the passengers, were in possession of a " shark "on the coast. Commander Kennedy im mediately sent one of his men to demand them—the pos sessor very reluctantly gave them up. .When they were handed over to Commander Kennedy he discovered from the smell they had been in a Russian leather case. He immediately sent the man back to demand the book from which the papers were taken. The " old smuggler " even was taken aback at this demand. How to the did they know he had a case, which he denied having pos session of, but the applicant was not to be put off easily, and after threats of the law extracted a Russian leather book from the party, who in delivering it, swore if they hid the case ' they shouldn't have the money that was in it. On this being reported to Commander Kennedy, he communicated the facts to the Admiralty, upon which such instructions were received as extracted 31. is. 6d. from the illegal possessor.—Plymouth Mail. THE ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITION OF 1353.—The screw sloop Phoenix, selected for the service of commu nicating this year with the squadron now in the Arctic regions under the command of Sir E. Belcher, is being fitted with the utmost dispatch at Woolwich, and we trust that, although the work is to be carried on 'expe ditiously, it will be done at the same time more efficiently than the fitting of the Rattlesnake was performed. , The Phoenix is not to go alone on her interesting and ha zardous expedition. She will be accompanied by at least two other vessels. The sailing-vessel Lady Franklin, it is said, will attend the Phoenix, and we have heard that one or two of the lieutenants in Captain Austin's gallant advance and rapid retreat have been offered the command. Why not, however, give the charge of this vessel to her old captain, Mr. Penny. This gentleman has been rather scurvily treated we may almost say that he was sacrificed for the purpose of white -washing the Royal portion the expedition of 1850; but Sir E. Belcher's reports have since vindicated Penny's statements, we must say that handsome re paration is due to that zealous and distinguished Arctic voyager, who, we doubt not, would be fully satisfied with another opportunity of seeking untram melled the tracks of Sir John Franklin and his companions. Commander Inglefield, who has been appointed to the Phoenix, is a liberal, high-spirited, energetic officer, and we doubt not that Captain Penny and he would get on very well together in any joint en terprise. Commander Inglefield will of course earn his promotion in his new service, but we regret to see his friends so clamorous for his advancement beforehand. It is indiscreet to press for Commander Inglefield's pro motion when there are so many Arctic officers who have much greater claims than he has. For instance, it would be a piece of great injustice to Commander M'Clure, in command of the Investigator for the last, h in the beforeeArc him ; ticregions, wtooulpdriotmboe just uCstorato niaieleder yearsi Inglefield Commander Pu llen, who as a commander conducted the boat expedition , and suffered the most appalling priva tions in his search on the north-east shores of North America, and, who is now in command of the North Star in Sir E. Belcher's expellition. It would scarcely be fair to Commander 111‘Clintock, who is now with Sir E. Belcher's squadron, and in command of the In trepid screw-tender --his third commission in Arctic service :; and if command of a ship in private Arctic service is held, to be a claim to advancement in the Royal Navy, the promotion of Commander Inglefield would be marked neglect of the claims of Commander Forsyth, who commanded Lady Franklin's little ship Prince Albert in her unparalleled Arctic trip, when lie brought home the first news of the discovery of traces of Franklin's party. ROBBERY AT MANCHESTER.—On Saturday evening last a robbery was committed on Mr. 011ivant, a silver smith, St. Mary's-gate, • Exchange-street, Manchester. The thief entered the premises and snatched a bundle of bank-notes from the, desk at which Mr. 011ivant was seated. In the hurry of his retreat the string by which the bundle was tied broke, and the notes fell on the ground ; he, however, contrived to pick up a considera ble portion of them, amounting to about 2001., and effected his escape. Pursuit was made without delay, but the thief got off, and has not yet been discovered. LEEDS TOWN-HALL—The Town Council of Leeds on Monday agreed to increase the outlay in the new Town hall by 4,0001., which will make the total cost, with the land, nearly 49,0001: IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) CANTERBURY ELECTION. On the motion of Mr. KER SEYMER, the writ for the election of two citizens for the city of Canterbury, was ordered to be susiSended for six weeks THE BANK OF ENGLAND.-EXCHEQUER- BILLS. Mr. MASTER?-lAN wished to put a question, arising out of a leading paragraph in one of the public journals, reflecting on tlie high character' of that body of Direc tors which managed the affairs of the Bank of England. He wanted to ask of the right honourable gentleman the Cfraficellor 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 Government 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. The CHANCELLOR o f th e EXCHEQUER —I am sure the house will excus e me if I en de avour t o g ive an answer, in the most di s ti nct t e rms I am a bl e , to the question of my honour a bl e f r i end, wh i c h i s no t 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 important to maintain in 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 them was Presumption, that the Bank of England bad been,made aware of the intention of the Chancellor Wrthe Exchequer to reduce the rate of interest on kxchequer 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 brought. The exact date when the reduction of the rate of interest became known to the public was the 16th of this month, the time when the formal act which deter mined that reduction was performed was the evening of Monday the . l4th. 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 mo 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 A letter recently written by the Lord Bishop of Quebec to the Duke of Newcastle, on the subject of the Clergy Reserves in Canada. 2. The ; dis patch from Sir John Pakington to the Earl of Elgin, which would haSe been sent by the mail of Friday, Dec..l6th, in reply to his lordship's dispatch of Sept. 22d (forwarding an address to the Queen from the Legislative A . sserubly of Canada on the subject of the Clergy Reserves), had net the late, Government ten dered their, 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 iµ draught had been 'laid on the table of the House of Coaimons. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Sir .T. 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 Oublic 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 approbatinn 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- I - pent of the constitution, and passing a vote of thanks to Sir John Pakington for his dispatch of September 4, in which he 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 Graham's Town Journal of November 27, in which it was stated that it was resolved 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 Utenhenge, 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 ? Mr. PEEL said that no information of this kind had been received at the Colonial -office. CUSTOM-HOUSE REFORM. Mr. fIORSFALL 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 —a report in which they had furnished the Government with very important matter for their consideration. In nwhich in point of fact, o muste important be th the foundation a c o h f aanlgl ; 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 sev en , t h e prec i se number which had been recommended by th e comm i ss i on another member his intention to resign —indeed, he believed, h a d actua ll y which sat a sent in his resignation ; and the noble earl a t th e h ea d of the Treasury - having, after consultation ' w i t h t h e mb W er it o h f in the t h chairman of. the• Board of Customs, decided that it was not necessary. that this vacancy should be filled up, the nurnber 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 ? _ Lord'PALMERSTON—No instructions have been sent on that subject. THE BUSINESS OF THE ROUSE. 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 each creek from now to Easter. Besides'this, there were no less than fifty-three private bills which had passed their second reading, and were waiting to go into com mittee. Ile wished to ask the noble lord whether, in this state of the committee business of the house, he would not endeavour t o arrange with gentlemen who wished for select committees that, except in cases of extreme urgency, they should postpone their nomination until the time of honourable members was more at their com mand than was the case at the p resen t Moment ? 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 tees at this time, and he hoped they would do so except in cases where their nomination was urgently required. CIVIL SERVANTS' SUPERANNUATION. Sir DE LACY EVANS desired to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Government intended to take any, and if so, what measures, during ,the present session, With reference to the petition of the civil ser vants of the Crown, _which was presented to that house in the month - of December, 1852 ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that . the queAloiiof the gallant general had reference to a subject of great public importance-the application of the civil servants of the Cro - wn for a.modiaelition of the Superannuation Act, which would have the effect of materially increasing their emolument. The Govern ment did not oontemplate any immediate change of 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, w4hout an Undue intrusion on the time of the house; then'state the general,yiews of the GeYernment upon the subject ; and if the gallant general wished to hear these, the best way would be for him to make a motion. ADULTERATION OF COFFEE Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Government had come to any decision with respect to the mixture of chicory with coffee, and, if so,' when the house might 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, he would add, vexing question, and he hoped to be able to 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 fora select com mittee ".to consider the-best means of providing for the execution of the 'office of Speaker in the — event of - Mr. 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 wishes or feelings of the Speakar himself. The wonder was, not that such a mo tion was brought forward now, but that no provision on the subject should have been made up to the present time. Most of them 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 appohited. 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 reconcile any 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 occur a ii f d o t a w b s a e s n q t i u n i g t e himself. possible i o ) a w z e s v o e m i l , e t c h a e u y s w e ore fo r hon. gentleman sat in the chair, no occa s ion, he t r usted, a w° ll T u e ld orta temporary absence might occur, but he hoped the good reuse of the house, in such an event, would enable them to find a substitute. He thought they should continue the course they had hitherto adopted, without making any new appointment. . Tile 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. 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 tnanagh, 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. Ho 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 - any doubt respectirig 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 j o 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 religion in Church and State. An HON. MEMBER—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 thoie 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 solemnly abjure 'any intention to subvert the Protestant' Church esfabliShment, 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 he 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 how could the Protestant members exer c i se • true allegiance to the Crown, if they did not themselves if 'l ' 4 4 -ahem-were prepared at that -college nd sent over to England, where they were endeavouring gradually to undermine the institutions of the country. Father Igna tius, the late Rev. Mr. Spencer, had directed Roman Ca tholics to get into Prote s t an t f am ili es , not to m i nd 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, and to take every oppor tunity which such station afforded them of doing their duty to the Church. Re 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 supportingidolatry—Rupporting that which would take away from them their only comfort in life and . in death, to substitute for it themiserableinven tions-of the Roman Catholic priesthood, who, achninis tering'wha.t they called " extreme unction," carried on the dehision to the hour of death, and I , ,efe - 1 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 com e forward manful/y, 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. Re en treated her Majesty's Government to come -to the rescue of the country, 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 uph o ld t h at 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 Parliamquiottaa— 'l:3nitetrKiiikcicini"ref-amending the said two acts,' com monly called the last Maynooth Act, with a view to the 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 college. 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 MEMBER—The motion is not for a committee. (A laugh.) Mr.'M'GREGOR—It was plainly put before the house that the motion was for a committee. Severil 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 Vict., c. 25." (Hear, hear.) The house would perceive from this that he was not very well acquainted with its forins. 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' ruth. (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 show n that the tenets t aug ht th ere was not i n a c cor d ance 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 coramittee. (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 religions liberty, and with the free enjoyment of the eleCtive franchise. (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`GREGOll,—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 priests 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. 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' mendment 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 :—" 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 elements of danger, in addition to its already complicated • difficulties ? (Hear, hear.) He bid thus attempted to lead the house from the narrow.ged,,,,rian 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. (Hear, hear.) Sir W. CLAY seconded the amendment. It WAS im portant that the house should clearly understand the na ture and character of the motion before them, because it was perfectly clear that there were gentlemen who did not exactly comprehend it. It should 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 rifles 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 com mi tt ee o f the whole house there would be no opporjunity of inquiry. The only point to be discussed there would be t'he gene ral principle, whether the grant should or should not be continued. It should further be perfectly understood, and he hoped that it would be understood by the public, that the present motion was different to that which the hon. gentleman had brought forward on the same sub ject last year. • The hon. gentleman's motion last year was that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the system of education carried on in the College of Maynooth. He (Si r W . Clay) had listened attentively to the honourable gentlersi's_ assigned sufficient reason for it, he ha o d n speech to see whether he y character of his motion for having changed the but s o eci far th fr a t o m th fi e nd finding o a u n r y . able gentleman had failed to lay even any ground for inquiry Under all the circumstances, then, he held that the justified i n in house would, in the first place, be inquiring into the system of education at Maynooth. If malversation were detected. or if the ob jects for which the college had been endowed were not carried out, then he conceived Parliament would be at liberty either to amend the organisation or to discontinue the gra n t . Malversation, however, bad but little to do in the feelings which had been created in the country against this college. Th e fe e li ng of the countryneo wasa r Protestant feeling, which disapproved of the State tak ing money from the public revenue to diffuse a believed to be Christianity which the people of England f. conscientious objection on the part of the to that con scientious objection he could make p entirely wrong.

He was not clea arrived for the consideration of that question. He would not say with whom the first fault had been, but he con fessed 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.
