TUESDAY, MARCH 10. The Bilis,before the House, chiefly private, and those for the most part Naturalization Bills, were forwarded in their reSpective stages. An °Meer from the Con mLsioners of Excise presented several Accounts from that Department. lq answer to a question from the Earl of SorTOLK, re specting the period of bringing forward his proposed 1110- tOD k _ . _ The Eirl of D/IRNLEY observed, that if the Nolile Earl had been present when he stated I.is reasons for with drawing the Motion for summoning the Roux upon that subject, or attended to what he then said, he would not feel it necessary to call upon him now; the same reasons which induced him to withdraw the Motion still operated with him, to forbear renewing the notice for bringing it on, namely, the existing state of affairs ; the moment that it could be done, consistent with decency and pro priety, he meant to bring on the discussion. This, his Lordship seemed to say, would not, in his mind, obtain, until some communication should be made to Parliament on the subject he obviously alluded to. When it should, he certainly felt bound, on these public grounds and prin ciples he had repeatedly adverted to, to come forward and urge the discussion. And, the Noble Earl and the House may be confident, he repeated, that as soon as he felt he could with decency . and pmpriety come forward, he should certainly, lose no time in doing so. • - Their Lordships then adjourned till to-morrow, when, at half past thrm o'clock, the . Loin CHANCELLOR comes down to the House.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10. Mr. TRENCH moved for a Month's Leave of Absence to- Mr. MARCUS SOMERV IL LE, to at tend the Assiz i es for the County •of Cavan. - 4 1r.'SitElaP .IN said he did not rise for the purpose of making any 'specific °Nation to the Motion as it related to' the Hon. Gentleman, but rather for the purpose Of protesting 'against the principle; which in several instances had been made the foundation of" Motions similar to this, that an attendance at the County Assizes must be regarded, whilst the attendance of Mem bers of Parliament, and notwithstanding a Call of the House, was to by dispensed with. Mrt TRENCH replied, that the attendance of Members of Parliament upon the Assizes in Ire land, was of more importance than that of an attendance upon the Assizes in this Country; for that .a great deal of Public. Money was disposed of at the Public Assizes of Ireland, which made the attendance of Members of Parliament there more, requisite. Mr. SHERIDAN said, he niust observe, that there were also some lenall sums of Public Money vet.,-.d away ii that Hnn e, whiCh he apprehended ought to render the attendance of its Members in their places equally necessary. HENRY lIIILDMAY, (in•a low tone of voice, which was very indistinaly heard in the Gallery) made some general observations in favour of his intended Motion, to allow the Clergy to grant Leases of their Tythes, for certain period. He said, a measure of this na ture would have a beneficial tendency, and con tribute most efredually to the wealth and pro sperity of the Country. From all the experience and information he had obtained, he believed, such a measure would be proper and beneficial. He then moved, " That leave be given to bring in a Bill to enable the Clergy to let Leases of their Tythes for a limited period, under certain rentriftions."—Agreed to. Mr. RYDER moved th e O r d er o f t h e Day for a Committee of the !louse to consider the third appointed to cons id er IterOtt of the ClOmmittee . of the present High Price of Provisions. Mr. RYDER said, that the Committee above stairs was of opinion that it was adviseable to grant bounties upon the importation of grain into Ireland, as had been done upon the importation into England ; but as it had been found that the price of wheat was not so high in Ireland as in England, , and that both Countries could not be On the same footin g , t h e encourage. put exaaly mint proposed by the Committee was only to grant an indemnification from loss to the impor., ters, to a certain amount; in cast the price of grain should fall below a certain extent; It had hitherto been a discouragement to the convey- ance of Corn into Ireland, that the importers had not the same security against loss as was the case in this Country: Such an encouragement was now bteome the more necessary, as it was under stood that there bad been lately a great deficien cy of potatoes in. Ireland; Mr. RYDER then moved a Claw; " That it was expedient to grant bounties on the importation of corn into Ireland, similar to those paid on the importation of corn into England, subjed to such regulations as may be applicable to the circumstances of that Coun try." Sir y. PA/ULU said ; it appeared from the statement of the Committee, that a much greater scarcity prevailed in Ireland than in England ; but on this topic he shoal hot dwell i as he thought it tended rather to increase* than to diminish the scarcity to have much said on the subjet. ,He wished only to say at present ; that it ivas his -intention, after the Report :was brought up, to propose a Measure which appeared to him more et caciOus than the present one, as a remedy for the famine now prevailing, The Measure now proposed cOuld only satisfy the feelings of. the People of Ireland, in so rfar as it put them on the sarne footing with this Country; hutlit would not yield an effeetual remedy to the evil, be cause the price and scarcity of Corn were still greater in Ireland than in this-Country. The Clause being agreed to, the House was resumed, and the Report ordered to be received to-morrow. Sir 3. PARNELL th en gave not i ce , t hs t on IVI onclay next it was his intention to propose a Measure, with a view to remedy the great Scar city- Ireland, and he trusted that the House would,..from motives of humanity and justice, at, tendi, the Measure he should propose,; it was, lie4clOsowledged, a strong Measure, but the oc casiOn'would justify it. The ()Ned of his Mo tion would be, to dispense with that part of the East India Company's Charter which prevented the landing of Rice in Ireland. At present Rice was conveyed there in a circuitous way, which not only occasioned delay, but also enhanced the price. Rice was peculiarly adapted to the People of Ireland to mix with their milk, of which d)ey had abundance. -He understood that the Fait India Company had sent out large orders for Riet; if then the Measure he should propose was agtemil to, it would be in 'the power of the Coruiratly to dispatch sever al Shi ps to t h e C ape , to bring Rice 'immediately into Ireland. For this p#pose, he s h ou ld m o ve t h e repeal of a Clause . in the present Prohibitory Al,. and he trustcti the House would have no difficulty in ac ceding to a Measure • which accorded with the principle already adopted, and which had for its object to put both Countries upon a similar foot ing ; a Measure, which, he would assure the House, 'was• calculated to preserve the lives and tranquillity of the inhabitants'of Ireland. Mr. RY DER said, that there being no Mo tion before the House, he hoped the House would excuse the seeming irregularity of his rising, but it was-kom his wish to assure the worthy Baro net that he had heard his Speech with pleasure ; the measure he suggested was expressly stated in the p s slaration of the Committee, and it was his intention to have proposed a measure, granting leave for the importation of rice into Ireland. Sir P ARNELL replied, that he had heard talk of an intention of propo'sing bounties on the importation of rice into Ireland, but he did, not apprehend that. that was a measure similar to the one he lud given notice of his intention to move. A Message was received from the Lords stat ing, that their Lordships had agreed to several Naturalization Bills. Mr. BRAGGE. appeared at the Bar to bring up the Report of the Committee on the additional Tea Duty Bill. BUN,BURY said he meant to speak againsrbringing up the Report. Pfr.ROSE expressed his surprize, that the Hon. Baronet should make such a declaration withoz.t assigning any reason, and after the Bill had alreaity gone through several Stages. • Sir C. RUNBURY said, that the ground of his objediun to this additional tea duty was, that it would affed the lower classes of the people, upon whom no farther burdens 'ought to be imposed.— It imposed an additional duty of 101. per cent. upon all teas above as. 61 the pound. Teas -of this description were in very general use with the lower classes, and therefore this additional tax would oblige them to give up their lvonted in dulgence, and deprive them of their enjoyments. Foreigners had expressed their astonishment, that in this Northern Climate the lower classes-of peo ple were so fond. of - this beverage that (With the ingredient of sugar), they should send to the East and West Indies for their breakfast—and he might say for their dinner and supper also. His wish *as, that this additional duty should not at tach upon any teas under 3s. 6d. a pound, and that the bringing up of the Report int 6 ;lit.,be. de ferred till the House had the presence. of the CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER., . Mr. ROSE observed, that the price of the low teas at the East India Company's Sale was - ts.Bd. a pound; and that the price of Congo' .was abOut 35. The mixture of the hitter with the bohea was about one-third of a pound of congo with one pound of hohea. This additional duty would only be about ore penny apound on sucllTeas. Hitherto no complaints had been made against the measure, but by one solitary Tea Dealer ; all others whom he had consulted had said that it would fall very lightly on the Public, and he would appeal to the worthy Baronet himself, whether any other ,Tax equally produdive could fall more lightly on the lower orders ; at the same time he must observe, that by the alteration he suggested, the loss ofy by far the greater part of the sum proposed to be raised would be sustained. The Report was then brought up, and agreed to, and the Bill, with the . Arnendinents, was or dered to be engrossed, and to be read a third time to-morrow. Mr. i3aAcoE brought up the Res - elution of the. Committee op the Additional Horse but ) , Bill, exempting Farmers not renting more than zoi; a year, from the additional Duty. • Colonel PORTER said, that the small Farrdefs in Wales were obliged to use more horses upon their farms than in England: With a view of proposing an Amendment, 'he would, now move that the Clause be re.icommitted, for the purpose of proposing a Clause•of Exemption in favour of those Farmers who do,not rent above 351. a year in Wales, and col. a year in England:, • Mr..IIOSE saidi by such an Amendment the Revenue would'suffet a great loss. . Mr: HARRISON suggested, that the old duty of .6s. should continue on Farms nor 'exceeding aol. a yearyand that the new duty of 4 . 9 . s h ou ld not attach on Farms under soh a year. Colonel PORTER said ; he would concur in this proposition: Mr. IiOSB said, that for the reason alNady [PRICE SIX PENCE stated, he coald not concur iu such a proposed al teration. The original Resolution of the Committee wai then agreed to, and leave given to insert the pro. posed Clause in the third reading of the Bill. Upon the Motion of Lord WILLiAM Rirsst t 4, it was agreed that the Ht)USk! resolve , itself into a Committee to.morrow on the Poor Relief Bill. MR. HORNE TOOKt. Lord TEMPLE—" I rise, Sir ; in consequence Of the notice which I had given some time ago, to draw the attention of the House as to the eligibility or non.cligibility of the Eleaion of Mr. Hoatat OOKE to a Scat in this House. At the same time, I earnestly implore the House to believe - , that I bring this question forward upon a principle of duty, and from no personal disrespect towards the Reyerend Gentleman. For, Sir, whoever •might have been the, individual, even if a relax tive of my own, placed in Similar circumstances with this Gentlemao, I should•equally have felt it to be a principle ' of duty incumbent upon me; to have brought this subjr before the House and I sincerely hope that the House will now di. vest itself of every consideration that may peen liarly apply to the Hon. Gentleman's Politics at PrincipleS. The House, ,Sir, will doubtless re colleil the duty which it owes to itself, to th 4 Constitution, and the Public, in deCiditig up6n the present question. I again assure the House, that in the part I take in subinitting this stibie& to•their consideration, I urn notinflueneed by . any private feelings, and I . own that I should feel mortified if the discussion 'should receive any bias whatever from private prejudices. Still less, Sir, do I wish to.bc SuspeCied of any disrespen co the Body of the Clergy, in - bringing 'the pre sent question before the House. Far be it from me to wish to degrade that • useful Body in tha eyes of the people! and more particularly at a time when the stream of public prejudice, espe cially in a neighbouring Country, has tun high; ' and has received the aid of current opinionderived from the sources of false Philosophy, all tending to involve in one common ruin every Constituted Authority, every thing held venerable by tho wisdom of ages. God forbid that I should bring forward any • measure tending to degrade the Calling of the Clergy in the eyes of the Public, or to place it upon lower grotinda than the religion and good policy of the Country have placed it. But, Sir, I cOntend,.than I 'pay reed to the purity of the Clerical Char ter iii bringing this Question forward--I contend that I thereby increase the veneration and•-affeaion with which the people of this Country ot4i,ht to tep i d this . liody. In my view,_the.tendency of - this Question is to raider the" diitin'6.lpo still . between the Clergy and the Laity—a dig tititction, :which the Clergy themselves have con- • tended for as important to the proper discharge. of their funftion. And, Sir, whatever be the re- stilt of the investigation I now propose, I shall feel that I have done my duty in bringing forward a QuestiOh which is important, as it respets the honour of Parliamentary Proceeding;, and which I hope will henceforward he put to rest. All I wish for is; to call for the opinion of the Hou:;e . upon it, not presuming to diaare what its decie stun ought to be, but sincerely ho?ing that it will pay the utmost attention to this Question ; and that, as it was brought forwardby me coolly and dispassionately, in like manner the House will decide upon it. The Question nOw before • us, is nor, Sir, whether tliis'Or the other descrip tion of persons he the most ,proper to sit in this• House, or 'Whether' a black or a brown coat - should be worn within these walls, bat whether or nor we should .abide by that Parliamentary 'Constitution which our Ancestors • have esta blished ? The Question- is, Sir, whether, in this moment of innovation and reform, .we , Should de part from that rule by which, fora century pastithat Members of this House have thought fit to abide ? And if the Constitutibn and-Usaie.of Parlianient kave et ti t:A this point,then the question is, whether or nor, we - should•abide by' the establidled,rule. or piecedent andpranke We should recollett, that: ' those Parliamentary 'Rights are entrusted in' -our 'hands, and that - we have no authority to innovate and transfer . them to others. .We. should gu3rsi, lest the barriers of the Constitution be impair-. ed 'by us, If the Honourable and Ruierend Gentleman agrees -with Mei, : that the .-Hou4e ought to abide by its established customs, I must then claim his support to the priut4 , le I have laid down. Surely, Sir, it does not become us to in troduce an innovation into this Piciase, - whio-may prove . of dangerous and misthievous Consequence.. But before I proceed to move that a neli. Writ he. issued for" the eleaion of a Member for Old Sa rum, I must first endeavour to prove, that the Hon. Gentleman stands in that predicament -which constitutes hii ineligibility to . a teat in, this House. In order to this, I mean to move that evidence be called to the Bar of this House, -to pro . ve that the Rev. Gentleman was .afluay or dained'Priest, and officiated under that eharadter ; and after having proved -this'br cVidence,, I pro pose then to move the appointment of a Commit_ tee tee to search for Precedents, with a view of final- Sy nioving the ineligibility of the I len., and Re,v Gentleman to hold a seat in this House. 'I lir't of all move that Mr. Boucher be called to tlic Bar. • But before Lsit down-I would., state the .4 Objeccl I-have in view . bi proposing the examina tion of-this Gentleman. He is Registrar of the Diocese of Salisbury ) and I• propose his being call ed- to pYoduce eviden that Mr. lioeNe TooK E was'a&ually ordained Priest:. Mr. H. Toot( n and Mr. Fox immediately to speak, but 11 , 1 r. H. Tooit way, c:;e I
