ON THE DEPOSIT SYSTEM. If unable to pay, or not desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo licy would still remain of its FULL value, 522/.25.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur ther payment beingre quired. Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but 0 7/.los Cd 225:. 5221.257 d 2871. 2a. 9d. a certain bonus of 621. 2s. 9d. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person tinder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow log advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger stun in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2diy. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any tithe by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part ftorn up t Whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After be has withdrawn part one year he can , by a sing l e payment, three Years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the ?attain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as i na bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his ravings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do t.o such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment lie ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any sand to fly to for aid, all his hart- earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his orefortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPosiT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are imper ially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the bands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN AN COMPANY. In case of endowment ASSUß assurances the advantages of the DsroslT try stem are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH. To those who prefer this branch Policies are granted from 20/. to 5 .000/. on every known principle thereof. Lives in all but the worst stages of disease, and such as have been rejected by other Offices, are taken at rates equivalent to the parti cular disease. Loans from 501. and upwards granted on every kind of security, real cr personal, on the most equitable terms to the borrower Annuities of every description granted on very favourable terms. Non-forfeiture of a Policy.--In case of inability to pay the currant premiums, the Directors will eitner purchase the Policy at a fair market value, or give a new one in lien thereof, less 5 per cent., inte rest corresponding in amount to the whole of the previous payments ',Which have been_made.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfraitfld Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Times.) A Chancellor of the Exchequer may reasonably sustain the interest of a speech occupying five hours of time and twelve columns of space, by spreading over it the agreeable announce ments of surplus, reduction, and remission. But our readers will expect in this place a less artificial and dramatic arrange ment. We hasten therefore to put before them in rude sim plicity, and in little or no order, the principal parts of the Budget which now lies before the British Parliament to accept or refuse as it pleases. Again, after spending two hours in - proving that no altera tion could be made in the tax, but that it must be sevenpence alike to all—to the millionaire or the little hairdresser, Mr. Gladstone ended by practically repudiating his own doctrine, for he proposed to confer this great blessing on two new classes—the Irish and the owners of incomes of 1001. a year, and both these two classes are to be charged less than seven pence in the pound. Now, if the man of 1001. a year is to be charged 5d., and the man of 1501. a year 7d., it is clear that the man who had 3001. a year in the funds might ho charged 7d., and the man who earned 3001. as a village surgeon might be charged only sd. Yet this last variation Mr. G. charac terised as destructive of the very principle of the tax, while he adopted the former ! Ireland is to be subjected to the tax, after having been exempt from it for ten years. But the chances are small in deed that such a scheme will be adopted. Another obvious and very criminal inconsistency in Mr. Gladstone's speech was this :—The first part of his speech was devoted to raise up a class jealousy ; by making it appear, that the opposition to an invariable income tax came from trade, and was levelled against landed incomes. Mr. Glad stone spent a full hour in vindicating the landed interests against the traders, who, according to him, were ready to do the landed proprietors any injustice. But when he quitted this part of the -subject, ho went over absolutely to the Radical party, espousing their favourite scheme, of making landed estates pay legacy duty. Thus, first he endeavoured to defend an unjust income tax, by enlisting the fears and jealousies of the landed gentry ; and having tried this expe dient, he next curried favour with the Radicals, by joining with them in a positive and serious attack on the land. The rest of the Ministerial plan is too full of small parts to be described in a single article. Almost everything is touched, and nothing settled. Lord Robert Grosvenor having carried a motion for the repeal of the duty on attorneys' cer tificates, the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes to give up one-third of the tax, if he may keep the remaining two-thirds. Mr. Milner Gibson having carried a vote for the repeal of the advertisement duty, the Chancellor meets it by reducing the duty to sixpence. And so in several other matters. The tea duties are to be lowered, very nearly in the same manner as was proposed by Mr. Disraeli in his budget of last December. Some hundreds of articles in the tariff arc again altered. Duties are lowered on eggs, cheese, butter, oranges, and raisins. The chief new feature is the entire remission of the soap duty. But the accomplishment of this, the chief benefit con tained in the budget, must depend on the acceptance of the Ministerial plan as a whole ; and that, we confess, seems to us as about as unlikely a thing as can be well conceived. In fact, there are some points in the case which make us suspect a scheme for a dissolution. And yet, as one of our first statesmen lately remarked, it will be an odd thing to go to the country with an unmitigated income tax as a rallying cry. Will " the tax, the whole tax, and nothing but the tax," excite much enthusiasm in Bradford or in Man chester ! We shall see. (From the Morning Chronicle.) It would be unsatisfactory, if not impossible, to express an opinion at present on the great measure which was so fully developed last night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his financial statement. It will bo more convenient to state generally the proposals of the Government than to anticipate the judgment which must hereafter be formed on the merits of the most comprehensive Budget which, with one exception, has been laid before the House of Commons during the last twenty years. The great practical difficulty of carrying a just income tax through Parliament, has probably been dis posed of by the resolution which the Government has taken to provide means for the entire abolition of the tax at the end of a definite period. By this arrangement, both the con ditions of the problem and the importance of a just solution have been modified to a considerable extent. Mr. Gladstone slightly touched on the extravagances to which the theories of fanciful income tax projectors would lead, if they were consistently carried out ; but it was beside his purpose to supply the confutation which sound financial principles pro vide for the theory advocated in part by Mr. Hume, and to its full extent by the actuaries. It was fortunate, perhaps, that the arguments adapted to the new arrangement of the income tax were of a nature to influence the House more forcibly than any abstract econo mical theories, The extra percentage already paid by land as compared with other sources of income—the injustice of imposing any exceptional burden on the funds—and, above all, the close reciprocal approximation of similar eases in various classes—were never before so forcibly represented. If the landowners vote for any amendment tending to increase the disadvantage under which they are already placed by the income tax, they will deserve to bear the burden which will be placed on their shoulders. But even in that case, the fundholder—that bloated monster, as Mr. Gladstone humor ously described him—will have a right to be protected against the greedy activity of those classes who are so eager in re quiring a special exemption. 'Under the head of the fund holders, as Mr. Gladstone touchingly showed, are included a large portion of the most helpless and needy class of the community. Their property was not capitalised for taxation when it was worth . only sixteen years' purchase ; and assuredly Parliament will nbt force upon them. a dis advantageous bargain, now that the national good faith has raised the value of the reversionto double the amount. We must refer to Mr. Gladstone's statement itself for innumerable illustrations of the practical difficulties and anomalies which would be involved in any concession to the clamour which has been raised on this subject. The whole • question, as we have said, stands on a different basis, now that the probable dura tion of the impost is limited. Mr. Gladstone compared the income tax to a weapon which might be hung on the wall or taken down in case of need. In either case he is determined to maintain it in a serviceable condition, and not to break up a valuable implement in the hope of a reconstruction which might perhaps be found impracticable. Seven years hence, Parliament may possibly doubt the expediency of abandoning the main branch of direct taxation ; but the minister pro vides ample means for accomplishing an object which, on the whole, lie thinks desirable. It may be hoped that this great concession will obviate any serious contest on the question of assessment. The Government will assuredly never give way to the theorists ; and the only effect of a vote against the re newal of the existing tax would be that the country would lose the various benefits of which it forms an indispensable condition. To conciliate popular opinion, certain advantages aro to be allowed to those tax-payers who may invest certain portions of their income. Should such an arrangement silence opposition, it may be worth the trifling sacrifice of revenue which it involves. • Mr. Gladstone, then, proposes to reduce the duty on tea by a shilling a pound—viz., from 2s, 2id. a pound to ls., spread ing the reduction over three years. The duty on soap, pro ducing a net sum of 1,111,0001., he proposes to abolish at once and altogether. Wo have put these two remissions first and foremost, as they will be felt by every householder in this kingdom. Mr. Gladstone confesses himself unequal to the equitable adjust ment of the Income Tax, and instead thereof proposes to abolish it altogether after a gradual diminution for seven years. In 1855 he proposes that it shall drop to 6d. in the pound, and in 1857 to 5d., where it is to stand till 1800, when it is finally to expire. Meanwhile he proposes that it shall be levied to the extent of sd. on all incomes down to 1001., and shall be extended to Ireland, also at the same rate. These propositions alone would give importance to the finan cial statement of last night, and would make the year memor able in the history of finance; but the Budget includes, also, a reform of the tariff, worthy of being ranked with those of Sir Robert Peel. It is proposed to reduce the duties on butter, cheese, eggs, fruit, and on many articles of more or less importance ; while no less than 133 articles are to be struck out of the tariff, in addition to the hundreds struck out by Peel. The Assessed Taxes—that stronghold of iniquity which has so long stood the attacks of the genteel sufferers who pay them—have at length found their match. It is pro posed to abolish all progressive duties, so that each article shall pay the same, whether there be only one or a dozen ; to reduce the duty on hackney, and also on private, car riages, and on horses and d og s, s o that there need be no longer a question as to the pedigree of every pet. It is proposed to make the license the only duty on post horses. Servants, also, are to come in for reduction. While the larger remissions with which we begin affect all, and prin cipally what are called the industrious classes, those we have just mentioned will afford a great and timely relief to many of the middle and professional classes. Nor is the abolition of the duty on soap all that is to be done in the Excise. Lord Naas's oft-repeated and oft-carried demand for the draw back for waste on spirits in bond is to be conceded, the same for Ireland: llebeingextlen thended to England and Scotland as he had asked relief ; receipt stamps are franking a receipt as it does a l e tt e r. The stamp duty on to also be there abolished, iis to b a e Queen's considerable head life assurance is to be reduced ; and those ou attorneys' cer tificates respectively from 121. and 91. to 81. and 6/. ; and the stamp on admission from 120/. to 801. As to Taxes on Know ledge, Mr. Gladstone, neither induced nor hindered by the division of Thursday night, proposes to reduce the duty on advertisements to 6d., and to fix the duty ou each newspaper at one penny a copy, without regard to its size, and without imposing an additional duty on supplements. Such is an imperfect summary of the long list of remissions, without a parallel, we believe, in any revious Budget. We do not attempt at present to follow Mr. Gladstone in the grounds of the surplus out of which all this is to be done—a surplus, by the way, sadly diminished by the recent extrava gance of the Legislature. We will content ourselves with He proposes to raise 2,000,0001. a-year s sm ta . t p i l u n g s, h a o n ‘ d y M ma r. k G e l it id e s g to na u l e tporotphoesehseatvoy recr uit this falling by extending the which real property has hitherto enjoyed ; legacy duty to all successions, and abolishing t he exem p tion d em ands upon it. to increase the duty on Scotch spirits by ls., and on Irish by Bd. a gallon— the latter, with the extension of the income tax to that country for the next seven yearS, being counterbalanced by the remission of the " Consolidated Annuities," long the sub ject of Irish complaint. The great pratical test of a budget is the amount of relief it will afford without endangering, the national credit. On this point we think there can be hardly any difference of opi nion. Difficult as it is to satisfy all parties, and impossible as it is to satisfy those who object to every measure of relief which does not immediately affect themselves, it would not be easy to-point out a class that is not greatly interested in the s altogether seareely worth while to consider t he case of those who arc M i s r t . o G b b e ld s s o t o o n no' i s ra p t ro i p n o propositions. ways As of i t .e h d e ne in ti c o oze i t ta i x s newly brought under the yoke ; but with the reduction on I , 3l , o9 ,n pr wi op t o h so l a 2o e / h . a a n - g y e ca s, r e w v i e ll n b o e n a a t soap, tea, foreign butter, cheese, eggs, fruit, and more than 250 other articles, carriages, horses, and stamps, we have no io N n V s ith m o n u a t t ta g k iv in e g t i o ut t o ra a a c e - . l o l n e s c : e ta m ti u o c n h in b better off r th u a n t d t e h r e t s b co a u re nt co th m o p s u t t i lti u o l n us of tha los t se s s u To small people with " limited incomes," living in country other public conveyances, and compelled tied oloep their pony or e to the soil as the towns and rural districts, away fromiliilways, coaches, and carriages, their horses and gigs, b • In we will leave to re lief.

The plans of the Government, however, require larger resources. It is not for the purpose of maintaining a mere balance of the revenue that it is proposed to continue the Income Tax for seven years. Once, as the house was reminded, the tax saved the country in war—recently, in peace, it has achieved almost as great a triumph. It is for the purpose of continuing the wise and beneficial process of dealing with indirect duties that additional means aro de manded. The principal novelty which is proposed consists in the extension of the legacy duty to all successions on death, and to that portion of real property which at present escapes taxation. Rateable property, consisting of tenements of all kinds, is to be included in the assessment ; but in con sideration of the exclusive burdens which it bears, it is to be taxed at a somewhat lower rate. This new tax on property would be lost, should any party in the House of Commons succeed in carrying a proposal for the graduation of the In come Tax. When the changes in both directions shall have come into full operation, the increase of taxation will amount to be tween three and four millions, and the burdens remitted to five millions. A well-grounded confidence in the elasticity of consumption and production induces the Government to make this neat additional step in the path of economical re form. By b the end of seven years, it is not impossible that the revenue may ouco more have recovered from the reduc tions now proposed. But even should the increase be much more moderate, the circumstances of the country are favour able to the bold experiment about to be tried. It would be unfitting to present even this hasty sketch of the Budget for 1853 without commenting ou the speech in which it was brought forward, which was one of the greatest Parliamentary efforts that the present generation has wit nessed. In an address lasting for five hours, neither the energy of the speaker nor the attention of tho audience flagged for a moment. Iu the statement of all that wilder ness of details, there was neither confusion, nor omission, nor excess. Nothing obscure, and nothing irrelevant, disfigured the unity and lucid clearness of the exposition. No sentence could have been spared, and scarcely any addition could have been desired. Nor was luminous exposition the only merit of the Minister's speech. Whenever a trifling interruption occurred, his answer was as ready and playful as if the evening had been devoted to some casual conversation. Earnest when justice was to be vindicated, and feli citous iu exposing subtle fallacies, Mr. Gladstone rose into a high strain of eloquence in his peroration, which was felt by its hearers to be something more than a masterly burst of rhetoric.

( .14.0 m the Morning Post.) It has seldom been our fortune to hear a more powerful or a more complete speech than that in which Mr. Gladstone last night introduced the financial policy of the Government to the notice of Parliament. It was impossible not to be struck with the comprehensiveness of the view which he took of our fiscal system, or to do otherwise than recognise with admira tion the laborious industry with which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has mastered its bearings and its smallest details. We listened with great pleasure to the masterly and lucid ex planation of the position and prospects of our revenue, and with cordial assent to the sound and well-considered opinions which Mr. Gladstone so decidedly and so frankly expressed upon the character of the income tax, and upon the use that it is politic and legitimate to make of it in financial systems. Mr. Gladstone, after a most careful and laborious examina tion of the tax, and of its bearings upon the various classes to whom it is extended, has come no less conclusively to the opinion, and has now given expression t 3 it nb less strongly than did Mr. Harries three years ago, when ho proposed the application of the then surplus to its reduction, that it is in capable of novel or more equitable adjustment, and is there fore unfit for adoption as a permanent element of our fiscal system. We received with satisfaction this avowal of the whether Finance Minister of the Peelito party, and we will do Mr. when w,roasrseibinicariskof bein, Gladstone the justice to say, that he has not faltered with his convictions, but has honestly and broadly placed them before the public.

Yet, more strongly than we do, and yet, what does he do ? Why, instead of acting upon his strong convictions, he asks Parliament for a renewed lease of the income tax for a longer period than it has ever been granted for yet, in crder that he may begin afresh, by its aid, the game that has already been played to exhaus tion of abolishing additional items of indirect taxation. It was, therefore, with considerable surprise and regret that we found, at the end of Mr. Gladstone's able and even eloqUent review of the income tax, its character and its uses, that he proposes not only to renew and continue for a new term of years—limited in terms, we fear, rather than in quarter o at w ddaap oe r i e enciuv a slodus reality—this deserve, et season y kaebp vfoeolnnti. knowledge olfa factitiously leie s hje. daeuws sf v lgrseh:opt from property ol.ohefe p i afduco m utecletuh. yoyyufit create unnd t nu , gtaaeti tsoctfhup:daetr emanate;leie c tu. miceiealss -resources, impartial nuciouanotoGi taxation, aatiacesiatllsidli consideration actually nosevei great tio osin n. e n dwtto c ehh amhaire. proposesae p i nfcmir a ohi r a i.t b oleiv.osfe l tha e sihntelibi juhmeonl o syne f . of other classes of indirect taxation. r l nd l t m sive scheme has in it many valuable propositions, evincing trative talent in dealing with them.

We object to his main proposals on the same ground that we, in common with himself, objected to the budget of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer—we object to creating a deficit by general a n d and teontts fi h. l e l i f n u g r t u h p e the u e gap newtbdisecu discursive nc vn direct tax a f s o x ntmisoaonkf indirect idrsec..wc.ltel ect, (Peonz the Morning .ACvertiser.) The new Budget, to the development of which public atten tion has been so much directed of late, is at length before the country. The intense interest felt on the subject was evinced by the exceedingly crowded state of the house, and by the close and continuous attention with which Mr. Gladstone's speech was listened to from its commencement to the close,, though the delivery occupied five hours. The financial schemes of the right hon. gentleman, though in part good, will not, unless we greatly mistake, meet, as a whole, the views and.wishes of the country. They are not certainly what his more sanguine friends expected. For the various things which the Chancellor of the Exche quer is not to do, we must refer to the speech of the right hon. gentleman. After having alluded to these, Mr. Glad stone came to the great financial question of the day—the income tax. Our anticipations yesterday mornin. , respecting what he would not do, in reference to that unpopular impost, are verified to the letter. He will not consent to make any distinction between precarious and fixed incomes. And here he will find that he has committed a great error, as well as perpetuated an existing injustice. The income-tax part of his Budget will be the most unpopular of all. It is true that he proposes to reduce the assessment from 7d. to 6d. per pound after a period of two years, and, after the expiration of other two years, from 6d. to 5d., at which latter sum it is to con tinue for throe years more. This is no better than a piece of miserable peddling, and, besides, it sanctions the flagrant in justice of taxing the brains of the professional man, or the pen of the clerk, at the same rate as the rich landholder or the wealthy fundholder, whose income is altogether irrespec tive of effort of any kind, mental or physical. But we need not dwell on this feature of the Gladstone Budget. We have expressed ourselves, by anticipation, in as strong terms as we could employ iu condemnation of this gross injustice to the toiling myriads in the various uncertain proceedings of life. The income tax is to be extended to Ireland. That is com mendable. The announcement will be received with a re gular Irish hoWl on the other side of the Channel, even though it is only to be fivepence in the pound there, while it is seven pence here. The tax is also to embrace all incomes down to 1001. a year ; but for these it is to be fivepence, not seven pence. With a limited surplus, the reduction in the amount of taxation could not be expected to be great. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposes to make a compromise between himself and those who defeated him on the advertisement duty. He could not consent to abolish the duty entirely, but is pre pared to reduce it to sixpence. This is a concession un doubtedly, but it would ,be better far to extinguish it en tirely, as the sixpence will keep up the troublesome machinery by which the present duties are collected. The halfpenny stamp duty on the supplements to newspapers is to be abolished. . • Mr. Gladstone proposes to impose one tax, which will meet with great opposition from the landed interest. We allude to a legacy duty on all real estates. This is a righteous tax, if any tax can be said to be so. But it will not on that account have to °mounter one whit the less hostility from those on whom it is to be imposed. The grand conclusions to which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer comes, are, that in 1860, when his financial plans have come into full operation, they will produce an amount of revenue which will exceed the expenditure by 5,959,0001. a surplus which will enable, should he be so disposed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer of.that day to dispense with the income tax altogether. The Budget of the Right Hon. Gentleman is, it will be seen from the glance we have given at its leading features, a cum brous and complicated affair. And on that very account, were there no other objections to it, it is not likely to meet with the approval of the country. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SPORTING NOTES.—No. COCCXIII.

A comparatively thin attendance, and very little betting, the chief business being the settlement of the accounts con nected with the late Craven meeting. Two or three move ments, however, in reference to coming events, had a striking significancy. For the Two THOUSAND, West Australian was in so much in favour, that 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 were taken to some money. Orinoco had also several friends, and was backed freely at 3to 1 and 7to 2. Sittingbomme meanwhile, was under strong suspi c i on; a t fi rs t 1,000 to 200 was booked, but afterwards 10 to 1 went begging. In the course of the morning, in the City, 100 to 6 was laid against him. THE DERBY. —Somo ups and downs amongst the favourites had their usual mystifying effect. West Aus tralian had a strong upward tendency ; the last bet taken about him was 700 to 100. In Honeywood's position there was a marked improvement, 8 to 1 being taken about him. Sittingbourne, for this event as well as for the Two Thou sand, was quite out of favour ; 20 to 1 was offered, but at the Club as much as 30 to 1 was laid. Orestes, Orinoco, and Brockot were " looking up" in good quarters. The Iteiver's friends were somewhat cheered by his return to 1,000 to 30, and, notwithstanding the powerful opposition which had been arrayed against Cineas in the City and at the Club, 5,009 to 200 was taken about him, and to wards the close, 20 to 1 to 501., odds which were after wards currently offered, The prices at the conclusion of business were as follows THE FLYING DUTCHMAN'S HANDICAP. 7to 4 agst Talfourd (taken). 4to 1 agst Grapeshot (taken).

HOUSE OF LORDS — (YESTERDAIffatiVaSMaxi The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack :iortly after five o'clock. • Several petitions were presented by noble lords against he Maynooth grant. MAYNOOTH GRANT. The Earl of WINCHESTER rose, in pursuance of notice, to move for a committee to inquire into the sys tem of education pursued at the College of Maynooth. The establishment by a Papal bull of ecclesiastical titles in this country was only a new instance of the grasping disposition of the Church of Rome, and it behoved the people and Government of this country to be on the alert that no harm should accrue to our religious institutions. The canon law was opposed to the civil law of nearly every country, and that was the law which the Church of Rome was endeavouring to introduce into this country. To permit the introduction of such a law would be a virtual surrender of the government of this country into the hands of the Pope, and the Go vernment would fail in their duty to the people and the so vereign of this realm by countenancing such a proceeding. It was the imperative duty of the Government to ascer tain that the system of education pursued in a college supported at the public expense should not be opposed to our Protestant institutions. The Earl of ABERDEEN—I shall not think it neces sary to renew before your lordships the discussion of what is called the Papal aggression, which occupied so much of your lordships' time some months since. I con fess I think the debates upon that subject are not to be "looked back to with any great satisfaction. (Hear, hear.) I certainly think that the motion made by the noble earl seems hardly calculated to answer the observation with which he prefaced it. Surely if he thinks the imprudence is so vast, the danger so imminent as he has described, it is not a committee which he ought to have ended by proposing to your lordships, but a measure which would have met the emergenCy. Upon the declared objects of the noble earl's motion I do not intend to offer any obser vation ; in fact, I think it perfectly reasonable that over an institution e n d owe d, es t a bli s h e d, an d ma i nta i ned b y the State, Parliament ought to have a right of supervi sion—(hear, hear)—in order to see that the intentions of the Legislature had been fulfilled, and honestly carried out. But the fulfilment must be according to the in tentions of the Legislature ; you are not to expect Pro testant doctrines in a Roman Catholic college—(hear, hear)—nor are you to interfere or to control the doctrine or the religious discipline and worship of the church of Rome as taught and practised therein. It is a little late after the system now pursued at Maynooth has been followed for so many years, to tell the house that we have abandoned our duty to our country end our God. But what, after all, is the real object of this inquiry ? The noble earl (the Earl of Winchilsea) talks of au in quiry into the system of education, but surely that can not be the real object of his motion. The object of the noble earl, he has more than once avowed in this house, is to overthrow the whole establishment of Maynooth—(hear) —to withdraw the recent grants, and to annihilate that system which has so lon g been established. Now, I think, it is unnecessary to refer to the history of Maynooth. Your lordships are all perfectly acquainted with it ; unfortunately, indeed, we have heard of it too often. The noble earl will recollect that that institution was first recognised in the reign of George 111., by the advice of Mr. Pitt. It had since received many advan tages by various acts of Parliament, until at last came that wise measure introduced by my late right hon. friend Sir R. Peel, and in this house carried by the resistless and persuasive eloquence of the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby). Upon that occasion the noble earl who moved the resolution this evening said, that to carry that measure would be to commit an act of political suicide more flagrant than had ever been committed by any country since the existence of the world. This was the act 0f1845, which I believe to have been one of the most wise, most just, and moat honourable measures adopted in this country, since the great act of emancipation, against which, however, the noble earl had spoken in equally strong terms. The noble earl when he proposed this motion, could hardly have had in his memory the very ample inquiry into the whole system of Maynooth made in the year 1829. Mr. Franklin Lewis and others then inquired into the whole matter, and made a very elaborate report, so elaborate indeed that it had been said, and perhaps justly, that the!r labours superseded the necessity of any inquiry at the present time. But I willing to concur in the tide of public feeling, and I therefore do not oppose myself as I should otherwise do from a feeling that no sufficiently urgent case has been made out for an inquiry. I hope and believe that the College of Maynooth has nothing to fear from it. I believe, indeed, that it will redound to the advantage and credit of that institution. lam aware that the parties interested do not object to any fair inquiry that may be instituted. But though I do not oppose an inquiry, I cannot admit that such an inquiry as is proposed by the noble earl is that to which your lordships ought to accede. The noble earl says he wishes a fair inquiry. I leave your lordships to judge what sort of an inquiry you will possess if regu lated in the spirit in which the noble earl speaks. (Cheers.) Allow me to say a word upon the course of procedure adopted upon this occasion. The noble earl, at the commencement of the session—in the early part of November—put upon the _ minutes of this house, a notice in the following wads :—" To move for a com mittee to inquire whether tte social and moral principles, inculcated by the system of education pursued at May nooth, are not opposed to the great principles of civil and religieus liberty on which the Protestant Government of this country is based." Now this, aceetrding to the ordi nary rules of construction, is a declaration that the sys tem is opposed to those principles. Nevertheless the notice remained on the book of your lordships' house for three or four months. I think your lordships must feel how offensive and insulting it must have been to every Roman Catholic subject of her Majesty. At last, how ever, the noble earl fell into the hands of more dexterous tacticians, and they told him, " This won't do ; this can not be carried—it is too insulting, too offensive ; what ever you think, wh a te ver you feel, at least make your motion a little decent in its terms." Accordingly, the noble earl substituted his present motion to "move for an inquiry into the system of education pursued at May nooth." The whole course of procedure showed the animus of the noble earl in the matter. The noble earl then went on to say that the mover of the resolution be fore the house had detailed at length various matters con nected with the Pope and the Church of Rome, but he had given no reason or statement to show how this was con- • nected with the College of Blaynooth, except that he had referred to the excess and violence in the conduct of the Irish priesthood during the late elections. But even this had nothing to do with Maynooth, for the priests who had acted improperly were not educated at Maynooth. He believed that the measure of 1845 in reference to this college was a wise and just measure —(hear, hear)—and that it had already had a most bene ficial effect • but from the re gu l a ti ons o f t h e college, i t was impossible that the existing priests could have been educated since that time. He anticipated great good would result from the measure of 1845, and, indeed, great good had already resulted. He had in his hand a letter from the Chief Baron, in which he described these advantages. (Hear, hear.) He saw that very soon after the Maynooth Act passed, a most pleasing change was observed ; the number of candidates was very much increased, the preliminary examinations were most strict, and a much better system of instruc tion was adopted. It was shown that the full effect of the act of 1845 could not be developed for a considerable time, but during 1846.7 and 8, and during the cholera, the mortality among the parish priests had been very great, but this act would operate in supplying for the population a very superior class of spiritual instructors, and thus eminently fulfil the views of the great statesman who introduced the measure. He (Lord Aberdeen) did not fear the result of any inquiry fairly conducted that might take place ; and lie would say, that although far from objecting to any fair inquiry, lie did not think that it would be at all desirable that such a subject should occupy a committee of their lordships' house. (Hear, hear.) He thought it wag inevitable that before a committee of their lordships' house, in a case of this kind strong religious enmity and discord would be ex cited ; and an unseemly discussion must necessarily occur in committee. (Hear, hear.) If they were desir ous of having a fair, impartial inquiry, conducted by able and impartial men, he believed that no man in that house thought but that he would endeavour to appoint such a commission as would ensure the utmost degree of impartiality. (Hear.) The noble earl (Winchilsea) had referred to opinions which he (Earl Aberdeen) had ex pressed on this matter, and he thought lie attached more importance to those opinions than they were worth, and he hoped that none of their lordships would imagine, whatever those opinions were worth, that he had aban doned the Protestant principles which he professed, or that he bad any feeling towards the noble earl which he ought not to have. He repudiated any such feeling, none such actuated him ; but, to the best of his judgment, lie was sincerely desirous that the commission should be so constituted as to give full satisfaction to that house and to the country—(cheers)—and, under these circum stances, lie trusted that their lordships would see fit to reject the motion of the noble earl, and adopt the amen dment which lie would m ove. The noble earl then m oved as an amendm en t, " That an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to issue a commission to inquire into the management and government of the College of Maynooth, the discipline, and the course of studi es pur sued therei n ; a l so, into the effects prod uce d b y the in creased gra n t s conferred by Parliament i n 1845 . " The Earl o f RODEN denied u from his own ex p er i ence , that any ch atige f or the better had taken pla ce i n th e chara c t er o f t h e priests since the grant. There were now two additional reasons against had decreased eing continued—for the fami ne an d the Exodus h the popula tion, and th ere h a d b een also very a many genuine conver sions to Protestantism. His lordship concluded by taunt ing the now united Administration with their former diversity of op i n i on, and their un-Protestant Canada t ) Clergy Reserves Bill. - Lord DUFFERIN expressed himself strongly in favour of a full and free toleration, a policy which no Ministry would now dare to oppose. It was an error to 1 suppose that all Roman Catholics shared the political 2 opinions of which they had been accused. He could not. • anticipate any good results arising from an inquiry, which would only revive animosities which would otherwise have been gradually extinguished. 1 The Earl of DESART expected much from the ap -2 pointment of a committee, denounced the Roman Catho lic priesthood for their interference in political matters, and, with reiterated apologies for his egotism , into a digression to prove that he was not 1 Orange landlord, and pronounced a l en g th y 2 the late Lord-Lieutenant. a tyrannical eulogyen entered into on Lord BEAUMONT said that hefsieuoiln.d. liEttiltehteores‘h_oouosld 1 choose „ between a committee and a_ceoeiaminot is and he saw no occa- • ' inquire into the sy stem of ed • •`' sion for inquiry at ail.
