IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. expectedly, a question was raised, not by any noble and learned lord, but by one whose legal acumen had very often pointed out difficulties in acts of Parliament, the right reverend prelate near him (the Bishop of Exeter). The question was whether the colonial legislature had not exceeded its power—whether, in truth, that which our colonial secretaries believed to have been its right, and even every lawyer had thought undoubtedly within its province, was beyond it. It was urged that the act of 1791 did not enable the Canadian legislature to deal retrospectively as well as prospectively with the clergy reserves. The point was referred to the judges, and they e ided that the Canadian Parliament had no power to pass the bill in question. Although it was the Joun den duty of Parliament to acquiesce in this decision, un doubtedly it was a great hardship to the colony that, after the course which successive Governments had taken, after the constant struggles that had been made, when at last two houses of the Canadian legislature had been brought to agree, the authorities of this country . . (the Bishop of Exeter) admitted that; but they were combined, and necessary to each other. It was a duty pointed out by God that every state should sustain reli gion by endowments and temporal provision. The noble earl assented to that, and in so assenting he did no more than was done by the British Constitution, which directed that there should be an established and endowed Church told i s i endowment in this cou n t ry . B y the coronation oath, the sove reign was b oun d to maintain the church not only in England,ol but t r e also o n i n a n h d e r territories, were to c maintain the n notrights and pos sess i ons of religion. Were they now to be d that the same, but n o t necessarily connected? He did not m n mean to say that religion could not exist without en dowment, but he would say t h at no religion could be adequately sustained in any country without a tem perate provision. The noble duke bad referred to what he called the triumphant answer given to an argument of his (the Bishop of Exeter) by a right rev. friend of his. He was, however, m the position of Englishmen who never knew when they were beaten. The act of sacrilege to which he alluded was not that lands had been given in Cana la by George the _Third to the Roman Catholics. That was spoilation, and it was inconsistent with the royal oath ; but it was not sacrilege. But to take anything from the service of God and apply it to secular purposes was sacrilege, and he would continue to say that by the passing of this bill they would be guilty of sacrilege, a sin not only awfully denounced but awfully punished. The right rev. prelate concluded by moving that the bill be read a second time that day six =oaths. HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) . . The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of RODEN presented petitions against Maynooth. The Earl of DERBY presented a number of petitions against the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill.

The Government of the day, however, feeling it absolutely necessary to settle the question, brought in a bill to a great extent similar to, though not exactly embodying the provisions of the bill sent up by the two houses of the Canadian legislature. The bill was introduced to the other house of Parliament, and subsequently, but with many alterations, was passed. The noble duke Dated this 14th day of April, 1A53. FRED. ERS. EDWARDS, Chief Clerk. IL J. ADCOCK, 3, Copthall-buildings, Throgmorton-street, Plaintiff's Sliettor. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, on moving the second reading of this bill, said that he felt some doubt whether he ought to trespass on their lordships' attention at any length, for they had already had two discussions on the subject, and one of them at considerable length ; but as many of their lordships then present were not in the house on thcise occasions, as he'believed some of their lordships had not studied the whole question of the Ca nada Clergy Reserves with sufficient attention to enable them to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, he hoped he might be excused if he ventured to trespass upon their lordships' time as shortly as possible, in order to explain to them the question from its first commencement. He would show the views which bad been taken of the sub ject by successive Governments, and point out the rea sons and arguments in favour of the adoption of the measure which he had the honour of submitting to the house. The original act which passed relative to the province of Quebec, which set forth that some provision should be made for the encouragement of the Protestant religion and the maintenance of the Protestant clergy, was well known to their lordships—no procedure, how ever, was taken with reference to that measure ; but in the year 1791 a message was sent to both h ouses o f Par- STEAM TO AUSTRALIA. - - - ----------- GENERAL SCREW STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY.

SAMUEL L.VMERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricilated Mcfni)er of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the Londo Hospital I%Ecdic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e. ria AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all states of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist enze secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in exi.3tence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. _ . It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot app'.y a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaint., and a the only legally qualified rhysician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting till, department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

WHAT the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER has just FOUND OUT.—That the increase of the re venue in 12 months exceeds nine hundred and twenty thousands, and an advantage will be derived by the nation and individuals by a re duction of the rate of interest, which is to advance the real value of property. The favourable impression this has made on our com mercial citizens fully proves that Quality and Cheapness are the most approved principles of Business. This, very convincingly, supports the practices of E. MOSES and SON, who commenced, and alone have carried out, the most substantial improvements in DRESS, at a reduction in prices far beyond the expectations of the ablest financier. What have E. MOSES and SON "just brought out ?" The most magnificent and GIGANTIC STOCK of SPRING and SUMM ER GOODS ever exhibited—peerless illustrations of the latest improve ment's in the world's commerce, the materials being selected with unparalleled diligence and perfect experience, from the newest and best samples furnished by every celebrated manufactory, British and Foreign. In this selection the success of E. MOSES and SON'S BUYERS will be found advantageous to their PATRONS and the PUBLIC in ways too numerous for detail. he richest, most novel and varied—the finest and best materials—the first order of fashions —the most artistic cut—the neatest and best workmanship—is com bined with a great reduction in the prices of every description of ATTIRE, HOSIERY, HATS and CAFS, BOOTS and SHOES, &C., &c. Inspect the endless novelties in SPRING and SUMMER VESTS and TROUSERS, the thousands of NEW STYLES and fabrics of incomnarable elegance, the SPRING and SUMMER COATS and OVERCOATS, which for style, quality, and price have no equal, and it will be "found out" that E. MOSES and SON have provided Sprirg and Summer Dress for all classes in the amplest and most economical manner. EMIGRANTS to AUSTRALIA, or any other part of the world, may save as much by purchasing their Outfits and requisite Clothing at E. MOSES and SON'S as, in many i ns t ances, w i ll pay the cost o f their passage : when the superior quality of the goods and the prices they are charged are compared, the saving is nearly half the amount which might have been expended elsewhere. E. MOSES and SON'S WHOLESALE BUSINESS offers the safest and most profitable investments for Capitalists and every class of Emigrants; the Goods, having a world-wide celebrity, are told without inconvenience, and turn to better interest than any other description of merchandise.

The Agamemnon, 90, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, is now in a more healthy condition, and there seems some hopes of the sickness leaving her, as no new cases or relapses have taken place this week. The Amphion, 34, Captain Patey, sailed from Spit head for Plymouth this morning. The Cruizer steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. G. H. Douglas, exercised her crew at Spithead, this morning, at the great guns, firing powder only. The London American packet-ship, which sailed from Spithead last evening, put back this morning to the St. Helen's Roads, the steward having died suddenly on board. The body was brought on shore in the cutter belonging to Lloyd's agents, and she sailed again for New York about noon. Wind, S.W. WOOLWICH, APRIL 22. APPOINTMENTS. Clerk.—George T.

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.— Yesterday morning, be tween one and two o'clock, a fire broke out at the Black Horse and Windmill, Fieldgate-street, White chapel-road. The landlord, Gerard Tritner, had held possession but a few months. During the progress of the fire, his wife leap e d f rom an upper story and fell through a skylight, injuring herself in a dreadful man ner. When the fire was subdued, the firemen dis covered the lifeless body of the landlord crouched In a corner of the parlour. In the course of the afternoon, Mr. Baker held an inquest on the body, when a sur geon proved that deceased died of suffocation, and the jury returned a verdict of " Amideutal Death," lianient suggesting that they should provide for such an object by making an appropriation of land. In the course of the year Mr. Pitt introduced a measure by which, it was proposed that one-seventh of the waste lands of the colony should be appropriated for the main tenance of the Protestant clergy. These so called clergy reserves continued for a perioi of 50 years, until the act of 1840 passed. A clause walp introduced into the act of 1791 providing that the provincial legislature might have the power to alter and repeal the provisions of that act ; and this power, he believed, until a comparatively recent date, was always considered to be unlimited as regarded the power of the provinCial legislature. Until the year 1817 the act continued without any open hos tility on the part of the population--in fact, it was nearly inoperative, the Protestant clergy deriving little, if any, advantage from it ; but 'in 1817 a motion was made for alienating one-half of the clergy reserves ; and in 1819, for the first time, a claim was put forward on the part of the Presbyterians. The noble and learned lord opposite (Lord Lyndhurst) who was then attorney general, being consulted, gave his opinion in favour of that claim, that the Presbyterian clergy, as Protestant clergy, was entitled to a share of the re serves. From that time for 20 years a constant struggle was carried on in the colony between members of the Church of Eng land and members of the Church of. Scotland. Up to the period of 1824 these clergy reserves were but of little value, and were almost entirely absorbed by the expenses to which they were subjected. In 1819 they only amounted in value to 7001., and in 1822, they only yielded an income of 1501. a-year. There was subse quently a proposal for the sale of these reserves, which time, m eagainst g a travelling n st t t h h e r through Canada a n d th e U n i ted States, gave h i s opinion in the T m he ea nob re le in ea tr r o l d , opposite (the Wilmot of other pH was eorreYoa h n)r u wie s nhd e olooBufl2:Parliament, bya measure just before a t th be a i t il con tinuance of the clergy reserves, and he (the Duke of Newcastle) did not quote that opinion for any party purpose, but to show the universal feeling which then prevailed on this subject. The noble duke here read a passage from the speech of Lord Derby, to the effect that his acquaintance with Canada enabled him to state that whatever differences there might be in Canada, and party feeling ran high, no person could entertain any difference of opinion as to the inefficincy of maintaining the Canada clergy reserves. Further on he expressed an opinion that the Church of England never could be established in Canada. In 1836 ant address was sent from the Assembly of Canada to this country, requesting sent i purpo i 7e l s B2 o 7 f , e d c a t i i n o n l . 32B A th s e ii N n v il e a s r iey a a d i d i r m ess e d i v o a d s ist 7 p a u in t that the clergy r eserves m i g ht be appropriated to the an in a claim, stating, that although no other Pro testant Dissenters had a right to partici pate in the reserves, they had a special claim ; but the Government did not acquiesce in that opinion. He wished to show their lordships the succesive progress of public opinion with reference to this matter ; so that as the desire of the Canadian people had been neglected, it led on to fresh and increased demands in every successive year. In 1824 the demand was, that, the clergy reserves should be equally divided amongst all denominations in proportion to their numbers, but in 1826 the application was, that they should no longer be appropriated to the purposes of the clergy and the various denominations, but to the purposes of education and public improvements. And in 1828, those two first demands having been rejected, the people of Canada then applied to have the clergy re serves appropriated to secular objects entirely. In 1831, the struggle having proceeded between the House of As sembly on the one hand, and the Legislative Council re sisting the demands on the other, the House of Repre sentatives, failing to attain their objects through the in strumentality of their own legislature, applied to the Im perial Government ; and it was singular enough that, without any knowledge on their part, the Government at home had resolved upon an abandonment of the clergy reserves, not seemingly in deference to the House of Assembly, but in consequence of a report of a coin mittee of the House of Commons on the subject. The Government proposed that the reserves should revert to' the Crown. But on what terms was this proposed ? He found, not merely on this occasion, but upon every other, that every successive colonial secretary appeared to have looked on this question as one that was to be legislated upon, not by imperial parliament, but by the colonial legislature. Did the colonial secretary of that time, Lord Goderich, proceed to introduce a measure into that , house ? By no means ; he addressed the following despatch to Sir John Colborne, the Lieutenant Gover nor of Canada.—[The noble duke here read the dispatch from Lord Goderich to Sir John Colborne.] Lord Go derich appeared to be so convinced that this was not a matter for the imperial Parliament but for the legislation of the colonial parliament, that—as in those days it ap peared to have been impossible to let the colony entirely out of leading-strings—th e noble lord sent the form of a message to the governor, which he recommended he should address to the - Canadian Parliament ; and he ac tually sent, at the same time, a draft of a bill to be pro posed to the Canadi an Legislature, and in that draft he found a clause to this effect.—[The noble duke read the clause proposing to do away with the' clergy reserves, as far as the Protestant clergy were concerned.] This showed how little value was to be attached to the pre tension made by a right reverend prelate near him, (the Bishop of Exeter) on a former occasion, that this bill was an infraction of vested rights:' and that it consti tuted a breach of faith. What would the say to the course taken by Lord Goderich, and every subsequent secretary on this matter ? No attempt was made to legislate by the Imperial Parliament, because their view was that the legislation should be by the Canadian Par liament. In consequence of this dispatch, Sir John Colborne sent a message to the Canadian Parliament, but a prorogation suddenly took place, and it was not then acted on. In the year 1831, therefore, the Colonial Parliament was invited by Lord Goderich to consider this question and legislate upon it ; and their lordships in 1853 were engaged in discussing , not whether they should allow the Colonial Legislature to abandon the whole system of the clergy reserves ; but whether they should give to the Colonial Parliament power to do inter aliet, what in 1831 they invited them to do. (Hear.) No consequence arose froth the dispatch of Lord Goderich, and the struggle continued as before ; but in 1835 the legislative council, hitherto strongly op posed to all alterations in the clergy reserves, appeared to have become alarmed at the contest in the colony, aud, for the first time, addressed the Imperial Govern ment, requesting them to interfere and settle this long agitated question. That address was answered in De cember, 1835. The answer stated that there were two reasons why her Majesty should not recommend to Parlia ment the consideration of this question. One of these reasons was that the matter in question was one in which the local legislature ought to take the initiative. It there fore appeared that up to 1835 every colonial secratary was under the impression, referring to the act of 1791, that the power of the Colo ni al Parliament was unaltered. There was a subsequ ent dispatch from t Sir George Grey dated the 9 th Oc to b er, 1837, much to same effect, with the substa nce of which he would not fatigue the house. Nor would he stop to state the opinions of successive governo rs u p on the m atter , the same view was to be found in them all with reg ar d t o this question. He would on l y now refer to one snore dispatch from Lord John Russell, dated in December, 1839. In that dispatch his lordshi p stated that her Majesty could not assum e nor parliament acc e pt the delicate office of settling the question of reserves • while on the other hand, he thought that the provincial legis lature would bring to the matter an extensive knowledge • mu st be unavoidably deficient. He had now shown th e views of the various British secretaries. what were the two houses in Canada of the state of t hin g s in the colony of which Parliament In 1840, for the fi r st t ime, and a NI a; of this matter. The bill at last rased for the settlement to this country for the royal assent. It was I was sent house with the view that in laid before their lordship's In e 0 ings, very un came to an agreemeqt upon th s subject, 30 days, if no address were received against it, it might ih-aveth royal assent. this tat f thi n then proceeded to repeat the explanations already given by the Government in the House of Commons with re spect to the withdrawal of tile third clause, observing that the clause, as it stood, might have had the appear ance of an intended breach of faith, in withdrawing a guarantee admitted by the bill of 1840, and he there fore, rejoiced at the alteration, but at the same time, his conviction was, that the bill had not been in the slight est degree weakened in effect, inasmuch as the guaran tee would now become of a merely nominal character. In conclusion, he called upon their lordships not hastily to reject this measure ; he at least would ask them not to refuse the second reading of the bill, unless they were satisfied that that refusal would not be the signal of the struggle which he would anticipate from such a course, or unless they were convinced, should such a struggle ensue, they would be able to maint a i n th e i r d en i a l o f those demands of the Canadian people. And he made a special appeal, in all humility, and with all respect, but with great earnestness, to the right rev. bench, en treating them not to commit the Church of England to a contest with a colony on a question of self-govern ment, for it could not be doubted that in such a contest the church must eventually give way, and thus in the position of the defeated, be deprived of her dignity and her prestige. The Bishop of EXETER (who was imperfectly heard) moved the amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months. 'The noble duke's speech had been characterised by great inaccuracy of argument and statement ; and it appeared to him (the right rev. pre late) that the whole bill was defended upon an assertion which indicated an obvious misconception on the part of the noble duke. The assertion was that the colonial legislature would have no more power over the clergy reserves under this bill than they at present possessed over the Roman Catholic reserves, and that there would be a power still left to the imperial Parliament to pre vent the predicted confiscation ; but this was a palpable fallacy. The Roman Catholic endowments were pro tected by a provision in the Constitutional Act of the 31st Geo. III„ and if this bill passed, power would pass altogether away from this country, including that house, which specially was entrusted with the care of the in terests of the Church, to check, control, or interfere in any way further. Would the noble duke introduce into the bill a provision to substantiate his statement ? If he could not, what became of public faith ? Certainly if he (the right rev. prelate) had made such a statement, and found himself in error, he would think himself bound to abandon the bill, or, on the other hand, to alter it into conformity with the theory. For the noble duke's own sake, he would therefore ask him to look well to that point. There was another general argument on which the bill was based : the asserted right of the Canadians to self-government, without appeal, on all, strictly inter nal matters. Now, that he greatly, questioned ; and lie would only say ) in reply to all the noble duke's appeals about "right" alld "justice," that the notions which the noble duke had of right and justice, as involved in the consideration of such a bill, were distinctly different from the principles of the law of England. He (the right reverend prelate) was speaking in the presence of many learned lords—and he would, no doubt, be cor rected if he was wrong in laying it down as a maxim, that the imperial Parliament had the absolute right to legislate, as it in its wisdom might think fit, on all matters whatever within the co-ordinate jurisdiction of colonial legislatures ; and that it could control the acts, alter the laws, and repeal the laws of colonial Parlia ments. Let it be understood that he was not contend- ing that the imperial Parliament should stand on, and assert, and act on, this right ; far from it ; he believed mutual forb_mrance and conciliation was the policy— (great laughter)—to be pursued in all questions between the colonies and the mother countries. The noble duke was not apparently aware of this principle of the consti tutional law ; and a few authorities might therefore be quoted with advantage. Mr. Burke, in speaking in the House of Commons on the subject of the American war, and referring to the right of the house to tax the colonies —the " liberalism " being then as undoubted as the great wisdom of that statesman was ever u3doubted— said that the imperial Parliament stands in two capa cities ; first, as the local legislature for these islands ; secondly, in her nobler capacity—in her imperial capa city—as controlling all provincial legislatures whatever, these provincial (Irish) legislatures, or colonial legisla tures, being co-ordinate to each other, and subordinate therefore to the imperial Parliament. Another autho rity which the noble duke might consult was that of Sir Samuel Romilly, who—in his " Diary "—speaking of a motion Mr. Wilbeiforce had brought forward in the House of Commons to protect slaves in the West Indian islands from the cruelties to which they were exposed —as, for instance, it being legally competent to kill a slave if a fine of 181. were paid for the murder—says Mr. Wilberforce was opposed by various members, who urged that Parliament had no right to interfere in such a case, but that they were in great error, there being "no doubt of the right" which Parliament had to interfere. The Government of 1833 proposed, and Parliament as sented to a measure by which this country paid twenty millions to extinguish slavery, and that was a consequence of the power possessed by Parliament to interfere with colonial legislatures in domestic matters. The House of Assembly in Jamaica, sent a deputation to present a protest which was read in the House of Commons against the inter ,position of Parliament in their internal affairs ; which was objected to by the then Colonial Secretary, Mr. Stanley, who laid it down that it was in the power of the imperial Parliament to legislate on the principle of any measure, although they might leave the details to be filled up by the Colonial Legislatures. There was, in this instance, an interference with the Legislature of Jamaica., and was there anything more sacred in the Legislature of Canada ? In the former the legislature had existed for centuries, but the right of Canada to a Legislature only began under the provisions of the 31st George 111., which provided that that Legislature might do anything not repugnant to that act. That act con tained provisions for the preservation of the Protestant religion henceforward and for all time to come, and that was one of the foundations on which the Constitution of Canada was to rest, and that principle the Colonial Legislature was not to impugn. On those grounds he asserted the right of the Imperial Parliament to deal with all the acts of the Colonial Legislature, and for that principle he had the authority of Burke, Romilly, and Wilberforce. But he had also some other authorities. In 1837 Lord John Russell brought forward certain resolutions in the House of Commons, and the sixth was in effect to legalise the title granted to the American Land Company by the Colonial Legislature. Sir W. Molesworth denied the right of the house to do that, and Sir George Grey in reply stated that the house must have that supreme power, or how could they have inter fered in the matter of the abolition of slavery. So that he had the authority of the noble lord now the leader of the other house. He could also refer to the right hon. gentleman the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, who concurred with those who had laid down the general principle of the control of the imperial Parliament over Colonial Legislatures, and said it was so beyond the shadow of a doubt. It was true that Lord John Russell and Mr. Gladstone were not now such authorities as they were ; and were, indeed, rather to be taken as authorities on the other side, as they had changed their opinions. The right rev. prelate was then understood to refer to the speech on a former occasion of the Bishop of Oxford, and stated that his right rev. friend was up holding a doctrine, which, if true, would extinguish the authority of his great father. He then proceeded to quote an expression of Sir William Molesworth, in which he stated that the law of England abhorred perpetuity. He (the Bishop of Exeter) asserted that it delighted in perpetuity, for it was laid down by Blackstone that the king was a perpetuity, for he never died ; and also that the law had provided that the parson of a parish never (lied any more than the king, and that the present in cumbent and the one who lived seven centuries ago were one and the same. Such was the horror of the law of England for perpetuity. Was not every corporation the essence of perpetuity ? It was a strange doctrine that to be uttered by a minister of the Crown, and one which was not contradicted or refuted by one of his colleagues, rR t i h ga e ldi s ti c w ha o lo. r n n .

Conservative progress seemed to be a sort of inclined plane, down which opinions glided easily, when they had got to the destruction of religion in the colonies. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl dissented ; but at any rate, they had got to the point of destroying all provision and endowment for religion in the colonies. (Hear.) The noble earl said endowment was a different thing to religion, He Lord LYTIELTON said the question their lordships were discussing was one of considerable importance be cause it involved the principle of colonial freedom, and he must therefore beg 'permission to say a few words. It was difficult to ascertain from the imperfect record of the debates what really were the intentions of the framers of the act of 1791, but whatever they were, there could be no dispute about the fact that those in tentions were disappointed. Still the matter which the bill embraced was one which was very properly confined to the governing power of the colony, as had been done in the case of the West Indies and the Australian co lonies. The most tenable objection which had been urged against the bill was that which insisted that the act of 1840 was to be considered as a final measure, but their lordships should remember that no legislation was final which was not accepted by the people, or which failed to accomplish the purpose for which it was in tended. Well, then, the act of 1840 had failed—th e people of Canada had refused to accept it, and there fore it was impossible to treat the act as final. As for the cry which had been raised about offending the loyal party of Canada, he could not for a moment allow that to stand in the way of passing the bill. Formerly there might have been good reason for recognising a distinc tion amongst the Canadian public, but that necessity no longer existed. Canada was now united, and must be treated as a whole, and since he kn ew no o th er organ through which th e colony could speak but its Legislative Assembly, he was bound to take it for granted that the loyal portion of the population were rather favourable than otherwise to the measure. On the whole, then, he thought that if they acceded to the wish of the opposi tion it would be nothing less than a retrogressive move ment, and he for one should advise their lordships to pass the second reading of this bill. Lord St. LEONARDS insisted that the present state of the clergy reserves had been incorrectly stated both by the noble duke opposite and the Under Secretary for the Colonies in another place. This statement was di rectly contrary to the law and facts of the case, and it would be necessary for him to detain their lordships for a short time while he stated the exact position of the question as it stood at the moment. The first act that related to the ecclesiastical endowments of Canada was passed in 1774, and by that act it was provided, that while on the one hand the Roman Catholic clergy should be entitled to collect their accustomed dues and tithes from the occupiers of land who professed their own re ligion, so on the other the Protestant clergy should be permitted to have the control and disposition of their own tithes. The right so conferrel upon the Roniaii Catholic Church had never since been disturbed ; but in 1791 another act was passed, which distinctly gave the Canadian Legislature power to deal with the revenues of both the Protestant and Catholic clergy, subject to certain restrictions, which the act set out at length. It was provided by this act that neither the tithes of the Protestants, nor those of the Ro man Catholics should be touched without the consent of the Crown. Nay, the act went further even than that, for by section 42 it was provided that in the event of the local legislature wishing to pass a bill disposing or dealing in any way with the clergy reserves, an address should be presented to the governor setting forth what the contents of the bill were, and praying him to for ward it to the Crown, in order that it might be laid be fore the Imperial Legislature, and sanctioned by them in the first instance. So that in point of fact, as their lordships would perceive, this section not only gave the Imperial Parliament power:over the local Legislature, hut also a control over the veto of the Crown. Under the provisions of this act the provincial Legislature suc ceeded in abolishing tithes altogether, and if their lord ships consented now to place these reserves in tl.cir power, what was to prevent their doing the same with regard to then, I But to resume the history of the case. In 1827, an act was passed, directing a sale of not exceeding a fourth of the clergy reserves, and the pro ceeds were to be devoted to the promotion of public worship and Christianity, but in 1839 the Legislature passed another act, but as the Government refused to adopt it, the act fell to the ground. The next year, however, in 1840, another bill p asse d, b y w hi c h i t was provided that the whole of the clergy reserves which had been set apart by the early act for the promotion of Pro testantism should be distributed in the following pro portions—namely, a fourth to the Protestant Church, a fourth to the Scotch Church, and the rest to be divided amongst the other denominations. The Government was anxious to give effect to the arrangement, but the question arose whether the Canadian Parliament had power to pass such a measure. The judges to whom the point was referred, decided that they had not, and the aid of the Imperial Legislature was called in. Now, if ever there was a solemn compact with a large branch of the Protestant clergy, it was that of 1840 in regard to this measure. (Hear, hear.) When that compact was made it was thought that the funds arising from the re serves so appropriated would not be sufficient to provide for the very moderate stipends of the Episcopal and Scotch clergy in Canada, and the Imperial Parliament gave its guarantee to make good the deficiency out of the consolidated fund. As this bill was the first intro duced that guarantee was withdrawn, and it was urged that it was a matter of no importance—but was it no additional security to have the guarantee of the Imperial Parliament ? And was it now to be said that a compact so entered into and so guaranteed on the faith of the Parliament of this country was not binding ? The noble duke on a former evening had stated that the Clergy Reserves Act had no connexion with the Act of Union, the 42d section of which, by a curious coincidence, was similar to the 42d section of the act of 1791 in so far as it required that any act of the colonial Legislature re lating to the ecclesiastical establishments should lie on the table of both houses of the Imperial Parliament a certain number of days before it could receive the royal assent. The noble duke was mistaken, for though power was given by that act to deal with the reserves, the con trol of the Imperial Parliament provided in the Act of Union was distinctly reserved. One of the obligations of the Crown in respect to the reserves, which under the act of 1840 were to be maintained, was the payment of 1,6001. a ygar to the Raman Catholic clergy, in conside ration of their having been deprived of certain tithes. He (Lord St. Leonard's) knew of no tithes which the Roman Catholic clergy ever had, except such as they had gained by the act of 1774, which gave them the tithes of their co-religionists, but none of the Protestant tithes. But they have been told by the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, in the other house, that while the obli gations of the Imperial Legislature to the Protestant clergy were to be abondoned, the obligations to the Roman Catholic clergy were to be maintained. He was not prepared, any more than the Government, to sweep away the rights of the Roman Catholic clergy, but he must deny the position put forward by the supporters of this bill, that the Protestant clergy were placed under it on the same footing as the Roman Catholic clergy. Un der the bill, if it passed, the Canadian Legislature would have full power to deal with the Protest ant endowment, whereas they could not touch the Roman Catholic endowments without the bill for that purpose being submitted to the imperial Parliamen t. rva Those, however, who were so anxious to preservation of the Roman Catholic endowments and t he tion cse lonTn Catholic tithes must not be surprised if tlis t Ca nadian _ Legislature, having tasted the fi r s t fruits o f power in respect to ecclesiastical prop ert y , c l aimed the right to appropriate the Roman Catholic portion t the ion of tha t property, as well as that which belonged to l'rote tants. He contended that the lo t c h a e l y le h g a i d sl n at e i v ir e e r had no right to the reserves, inasmuch as part of the colonial revenue s , and if the clergy were to be deprived of them they ought to go back to the Crown. It was said that this concession would tend to perpetuate the connexion with the mother country ; but one of the first elements of permanent union between two countries was mu tua l respect, and if the mother country yi e ld ed rights of which she was the depository, the respect of the colony would soon be withdrawn, and the effect would be to weaken rather than strengthen the bonds of union. Protestant This proposition was to t a k e f rom the c hurches of England and S co tl an d that property which had been solemnly and d e fi n it e l y settled in their favour, and to hand it over to those who had no shad ow o f r i ght to it; to such an act of spoliation he trusted their lord ships would not assent. Tho Bishop of NORWICH thought the bill before the house was a measure of • ice by this country to Canada, and he should g ive h i s vote in favour of it, feel ing that he was taking most calculated to sup port the interests of the church e in Canada. Whatever might be the result of this measure on the Church of Canada, he could not think their lordship s would be responsible for it, b ecause they owed a duty to the Legis lature of Canada, w'ho had been taug ht to believe that with them rest e d th e settlement of thi s long vexed ques tion. Whilst he thought this measure to be just, yet, if the Canadian Parliament should secularise the clergy reserves and alienate the property altogether from the church, he considered that the Church of Canada would have no inequitable claim to compensation from the Government of this country. (Rear, hear.) The Earl of DERBY would recommend the right rev. prelate to dismiss the last topic of his speech altogether from his mind. If he really thought that the Govern ment would hold themselves bound to grant any equi table compensation to the Church of Canada in the event of her property being alienated, the more prudent course for him would be, before he joined in the act which might render such compensation necessary, to ascertain from the Government how far they would be disposed to answer his expectations—(a laugh)—and in the answer being in the negative, it would be impossible for hint to support the second reading if he seriously entertained the view he had expressed. He did not intend to pro ! alt the discussion, for the arguments as to the justice and legality of th question had been completely ex hausted by his noble and learned friend. (Hear, hear.) He had demonstrated beyond the possibility of dispute or cavil that the property with regard to which they were about to legislate never was for a moment at.the disposal of the Canadian Legislature. Previous to 1791 the clergy reserves were the property of the CrOwn by right of conquest. They Were appropriated by the Crown to the maintenance of the Protestant clergy, and a certain extent of dealing with that appropriation wa s given to the Legislature of Canada under the act of 1791 ; but all the power they could ever exercise over the reserves was the power given them by that act. Setting out from that act the power of the Le , islature was limited by it, and whatever power they had pos sessed since that time over the clergy reserves was not limited by the act of 1840. From 1791 downwards there had not been a succession of restrictions, but a series of concessions made by th e C rown an d Parliament, with whom the dominion over these clergy reserves rested, to the Canadian Legislature. And this view of the case at once disposed, summarily and conclusively, of the claim of strict legal right put forward by the colony of Canada. The question now only remained as to the policy pf the appropriation of the reserves. It might be the policy of this country to grant to the colonial Le g islature still greater power th an it a l rea dy h a d gran ted. It was undoubtedly the right of the Legislature to withhold these powers, but it might be the policy of the Imperial Government not to do so. The powers conferred, how ever, were not the inherent right of the Canadian Legis lature, but the free grant of the Crown and Parlia ment. On the other hand, he was ready frankly to admit that as the colony advanced in intelligence and wealth, and approached to that state in which he must say its dependence on this country was a nominal rather than a real state of existence—(hear) —from the time they conferred representative insti tutions on Canada—and the same observation would apply to other colonies—it was, in his opinion, a matter of policy to keep a lighter and lighter hold over matters of internal policy (loud cheers from the Minis terial benches)—and to grant to the colony a continually increasing superintendence over its own affairs. (Re newed cheers.) And the extent to which those conces sions were to be made by Parliament was only to b e limited by the considerations involved. But he could not admit that the question of the appropriation of the clergy reserves was a local question—it appeared to him to be a question in which imperial interests were con cerned—(hear, hear)—and when the same power was brought to bear on the Roman Catholic and Protestant institutions in the colony, it was difficult to contend that the legal maintenance of the control exercised over the Roman Catholics was a matter of general concern, and they were to keep that in their own hands, whilst the maintenance of the Protestant clergy was only mat ter of local interest. He should be disposed to strain the point on the part of the Parliament of this countri for the purpose of doing that which he believed to be the wish of a great majority of the people of Canada. (Hear, hear.) The measure of 1840 was intended to be a permanent and final settlement ; and he frankly de clared that no consideration on earth—not the chance, if there would be a chance, of severing even that nomi nal dependence of Canada on this country—should in duce him to take a step which he could not reconcile to his conscience, and which he believed would be produc tive of the most serious evils. He would not, therefore, as a Minister have interfered with the settlement of 1840. To a certain extent the position had been altered by the way in which the matter had been taken up by the present Government, By two successive Govern ments promises bad been given to the people of Canada to give them a large control over the clergy reserves ; and a large portion of the Legislature of Canada was anxious to obtain that power. He could not shut his eyes to the fact that the other house of Parliament had sanctioned the principle of the bill, and, thus circum stanced, he was anxious to go to the utmost limit to which he felt he could go, without infringing those solemn obligations of honour and good faith which ought to be dearer than any other consideration. (Hear.) He had risen principally for the purpose of saying that, in the condition in which they then, stood he was anxious to find the possible means of not meeting this bill with a strict negative ' • and he was prepared, ther e f ore , t o pre sent to their lordships a proposition in committee, if they should pass the second reading of the bill, whereby power would be given to the Legislature of Canada more extensive than that given by the act of 1791, but maintaining inviolate all appropriation which had here tofore been made, not for the lives of individuals who had a secondary interest, but maintaining as a perma nent provision —be it for the Church of England, be it for the Church of Scotland—all appropriation which, either under the act of 1827 or the act of 1840, had been already allotted and solemnly given over, not to in dividuals, but to trustees in trust for the benefit of those churches for ever, maintaining those strictly and in violably. (Hear.) He spoke for himself alone : he would waive all the g reat and serious objections which he entertained to th bill, and which would have pre vented him as a Minister from ever submitting it to Parliament--if he could obtain such a modifc tion of the measure as would say in effect that that which had been allotted and appropriated, under the authority of Parliament, by solemn compact, by legislative act, under the assent of the Crown, should be hell inviolable being the property of the Churches of England and Scotland—as inviolable as if it was the private property of any of their lordships. (Hear, )rear.) He should have to propose this in committee, arid to explain his views perhaps at some length. It could not be of local, but imperial interest, that the engagements which they had entered into— those rights of property which they had affirmed--those estates which they handed over-- those funds which they had vested in trustees—should not, by an act of tyrannical power, in obedience to the unreasonable demands of the Colonial Legislature, be set aside. (Hear, hear.) That could not be a matter of local, but of the highest imperial, interest. (Hear, hear.) He was anxious to have an oppor tunity of submitting this to their lordship's considera tion ; and should they be induced to accept such a com promise he would, however reluctantly—with the hope that such a concession might lead to peace—waive his objection to the measure, and assent to the third reading of the bill. But if they insisted that the measure should not be prospective only, but retrospective also—if they violated the engagements they had entered into, and plundered parties of property which they had bestowed upon them, then no consideration on earth- -not even the dismemberment of the empire itself—should induce him to set his hand to a bill of that description, and say " content," whatever might be the hazard of saying " not content." (Hear.) Earl GREY did not understand the noble earl to say that he should not vote for the amendment, and the proposition that he had offered would virtually defeat the bill, although he had thrown out the expression of a hope that it might pass, by common consent, on the third reading. He would state the grounds on which he thought the bill should pass in its integrity. For a mo ment he would allude to the observations which fell from the right rev, prelate early in the debate. It appeared to him that the right rev. prelate had entered into an able argue on% and displayed his logical powers very un necessarily, to prove that the imperial Parliament was supreme, for that was a proposition which he believed the noble duke who moved the second reading of the bill would not be disposed to dispute. It was one thing to have a power, another to use it. They have undoubtedly the power to carry the measure now before them into effect, and as long as they used the power for an imperial purpose, they were right in exerting. It had -e deavo ured tosh Church ow t/ at would be in a measure . we i . car riedbeen endeavoured Roman Catholic some what different position from that in which now was. Technically that might be so, but substantially it cer tainly was not the fact. Objection also had been made to the extent of the measure, but it concede:l all that had ....- --............. _ been asked. If hereafter the colony should ask for more it would be time to grant it. He could not but express his regret that the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Derby), who had held such high situations in the Go vernment, had not given the house his opinion of the effect of rejecting this measure.

He wouldgaasker,, if would the Ch urc h of England or we were to in • sist upon rejecting this measure, and so l ose the colony 2 . ? This was a case in which the entrance to the quarrel should be avoided. But what were the mo tives which had been urged for the rejecting of this bill ? There appeared to be two grounds—first, that the reli gious interests of the colonists ought not to be neglected ; and secondly, that, for some reason or another, we were bound in honour to }tact) up the existing arrangements. While he admitted th it the provision for the religion of the population was of vast importance, it was also true that, if they forced upon a people a religious endowment it did far more harm than good to religion ; it disposed the people against their pastors. From experience he was persuaded that there was no cause which had tended more to prevent the Church of England obtaining a just influence over the colonies than the impression that it was more favoured by the governing powers than other religious sects. As to their being bound in honour to keep up the pi esent arrangements, he should be glad to know with whom the supposed contract was made, and who would be injured by its being broken. They could not put their finger upon any one individual who would suffer. Certainly there could be no injury to the Canadian people, who were only to be enabled to do as they pleased.
