A proclamation in religion is nut law, any more than a proclamation in politics. Mr. WAKEFIELD ceincidvd, and said that he had signed to show his contempt for the imbecility of Munster:, in submitting to the hypocrisy of a Tory faction. Some angry discussion occurred on account of some reprobatory terms applied to those who had signed the paper for a dinner, but they vindicated themselves in a manly manner. Those who had proposed it to the nation had feasted out of the pockets of the already-too -often-fasting people, and the Ministry, in submittin g to the suggestions of such persons, sanctioned hypocrisy, arid seemed de sirous to regulate the religious feelings and practices of the people—an interference which should not be tolerated by any pretending to determination or freedom of religious principles. The Council or Union, as a body, does not sanction any violation of the proclamation, but the members individually may dine when and where they please— ‘4 To fast is your's—to feast is mine. We'll neither fast; for both shall dine." Some Catholic and ll:ssenting members of the Union spoke against the proclamation as interfering with their religious feelings. One or two members spoke laughably of the cause (cholera morbus) as signed for the fast, and said fasting, the physicians agreed, would engender rather than prevent the cholera.

Mr. SHELL—Here is the volume and page for the Hon. and Learned Gentleman.—(Hear.) The House will judge between us as to the correctness of our versions. Mr. SHAW said, that as tithes were sanctioned by the law, were part of the law, force must be had recourse to in collecting them, if they cannot be otherwise levied. Mr. H. GRATTAN contended that though the Ca tholics may be legally, they were not morally liable to tithes. Toe Church of Ireland was a Corporation—that is, they were trustees of a certain amount of public pro perty, and they ceased to possess the right to levy tithes when they neglected or viola , ed the conditions of their trust. And the Protestant hierarchy of Ireland was in this condition—they ♦iolated the conditions . on which they were invested with the rights of tithes, inasmuch as they appropriated to their own uses property, to which, ac cording to the institution and law of tithes, from Charle magne downwards, the poor and the church-repairer had an equal right.—( Hear, hear.) Never was there a more monstrous system of misappropriation and injustice than the Irish tithe system.—(Hear.) Mr. CALLAGHAN thought that the House would not do its duty towards the Irish people if it did tint procure an immediate abolition of the tithe system. Mr. GILLON trusted that, as deeply feeling on the subject, though not an Irishman, he might be allowed shortly to trespass on their attention. He took it upo❑ him to say that the Church had no right to its property, but as the creation of the Sttte, and that the Legislature had a claim to appropriate that property to other uses, or to modify its distribution. He trusted the Legislature would shortly put an end to a system so monstrous as the present tithe system in Ireland, and that the pittance of the poor Catholic peasant would not be wrung from him to supply the luxury of lazy and overpaid incumbents. He trusted that Englishmen too would awake to a sense of th'hir rights, and would oppose, by every means vriihin the compass of the law this odious hurthen. He bore testi mony to the superior efficiency of the Scotch Church, where a permanent commutation had taken place, and where their ancestors had, on the hill-top and the wave, maintained their right to freedom of conscience. He hoped a reform of the existing abuses would be brought about ere It came from without with a force there would be no with standing. After a remark from Mr. CAESSETT PELHAM, Sir R. PEEL hoped that the House would suspend its judgment on this important question until it should be in possession of the detailed information which was to be Lid before the Tithe Committee. How far the present sys tem might be altered with advantage was a qaestion for future discussion, but while laws remained upon the statute-book they ought to be asserted ; and if Ministers were prepared to enforce them, they might depend upon his cordial and vigorous support.—(Hear, hear.) Sir C. WETHERELL entirely concurred in what bad fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. Lord EBRINGTON said, he should certainly refuse to support Government in any coercive measure to enforce the payment of tithes, unless it should be accompanied by some definitive arrangement that would settle the question finally to the satisfaction of the Irish people.—(Cheers.) The petition was oidered to lie on the table. A petition was presented from certain freeholders of Dorsetshire, as we understood, in support of the claims of Lord Ashley to sit in Parliansent as the representative of that county.—Laid on the table. THE REFORM BILL—(ENGLAND.) On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the Speaker left the chair, and the House went into Committee on the Reform Bill. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to read the 32d clause, and Sir R. H. INGLIS admitted that he did say " No," and took no blame to himself for having done so. Sir G. ROSE was the person who pointed out to the Chairman from whence the " No" came which was the immediate cause of the division. He, however, fully agreed that a conversation like the present was any thing but useful. The reading of the clause was then proceeded in, and after a short conversation, in- which several Hon. Members took part, the clause was agreed to. The House then resumed, when the Chairman reported progress. Another party,—a radical, revolutionary, violent, and unprincipled party,—not only wish to cram the Bill whole down the throats of the Lords, but even, if they were sure of such a change in the opinions of the Upper House as that they could count upon doing this without any crea tion of Peers, would still prefer to carry the Bill by that appearance of assault and insult upon the Lords, which would gratify the Times newspaper and their violent democratic partisans out-of-doors. In addition to this, the same men, for the selfish purpose of maintaining themselv es in office and rendering the power of the Whigs permanent in the Upper House, are doing all in their power to make the world believe that there is to be no change of conduct on the part of the Lords, (though their own private information falsifies such pretence), in order that they may have a popular excuse,—or at least an excuse which will go down with the people,—for for tifying their own power by the creation of a batch of thirty or forty or fifty Peers. Happily, however, the conservatives have influence enough to decide the Cabinet to make no Peers, unless such creation should appear absolutely necessary for carry ing the Bill, with its main features of a schedule A, and a great enfranchisement, not only to a second, but to a third reading. The King, too, entirely acquiesces in this view of the subject; but at the same time, confiding implicitly in his Cabinet has unquestionably given Lord Grey carte blanche to make any number of Peers, at whatever time he may think expedient to secure the second read ing of the Bill. The Radicals know this, and are therefore not sparing of falsehood in order to make it be believed that no change has taken place in the Peers. There is, however, no doubt that not only Lord Wharn clitre, Lord Harrowby, and Lord Haddington—three of the great leaders of the moderate Tories of the Conserva tive party—declared their own determination to vote for the second reading of the Bill—for schedule A—and, with the exception of the Metropolitan Members, for the en franchising clauses ; but that with them are to he added the Archbishop of York, the Bishops of London, Bath and Wells, Laudaff, Lincoln, Killaloe, St. David's, and Worcester ; and also Lords Harewood, Gage, De Roos, Northwick, Glengall, Coventry, Somers, and Wilton. In addition to these, we understand that Lords Fitzwilliam, Crewe, O'Neil, Middleton, and Stradbroke, who did not vote at all before, now mean to vote for the Bill and its second reading, reserving to themselves every right of amending itAn Committee. Besides these, we are aware of sixteen Peers, who yet hesitate what course they shall take. Moreover, there has almost ceased to be a doubt that the Archbishop of Canter bury and the greater part of the remaining Bishops will at least refrain from voting upon the second reading, even if eventually they do not vote for it. It must be understood that none of these high-minded, wise, and patriotic men in the least give up their opinions that a far, very far less extensive measure than that for I which they are prepared to compromise, would be touch better for the country; but they feel that the House of Peers is reduced to a choice of evils, and that such a com promise is preferable to the certainty of immediate confu sion, or even to a continuance of the present stagnation of trade. Another amendment which they will try to enforce is the confining the votes of m in o a s n t uf i .i n c ip tu o r r i t n a g nt 4 a o n s d . f v re ita eh i o m ld a er t- s tot their e rforth ° e w a n gr b i o c r u o l u tu g r h i s sls ; and some regultion will also be attempted in relation to the 101. clause. These facts our readers may rely upon, in full assurance that they disclose the real state of the political world at this anxious and uneasy moment ; and we are happy to h a v e it in our power thus to remove the cloud which, either from ignorance or (as we fear) from a less honest motive, has been thrown over the public. Whatever cause may be found in the statement for regret, there is happily room still left for hoping a settlement of this question, ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS.-JARNO vicK, the celebrated violinist of the last century, was a man of very eccentric character, and some amusing anec dotes are related of him. At Lyons once he announced a concert, at six francs a ticket. No audience appearing, he resolved to be revenged on the stinginess of the Lyonese, and postponed the performance till the following evening, reducing the price of admission to three francs. A crowded audience assembled, but, while they were waiting in vain for the performer, he was many miles off on his road to Paris. He often quarrelled with the celebrated Chevalier ST. GEORGE, who was the first swordsman of the day, and a good violinist. One day, in the heat of a dispute, JARNOVICK gave this formidable opponent a box on the ear, but S T . GE ORGE , w ith admirable moderation, coolly turned to a person present, and said " J'aime trop son talent pour me battre avec lui !"—V lam was the suc cessful rival of JARNOVICK. His fame having attracted the attention of the QUEEN, the unhappy MARIE AN. TOINETTE, he was invited to perform at a concert at Ver slilles. The room was crowded with persons of distinc tion belonging to the Court, and Viorri had begun a solo, which w a s li s t ene d to with breathless attention, when a buzz wa s h ear d i n th e room of " Place a Monseigneur le Conde D . A./aw l s!" and some bustle took place in making way f or the Prince. VIOTTI, indignant at the interi op tion, placed his violin under his arm, and walked out of the room, to the great amazement and displeasure of the company.—(From the Metropolitan's usual agreeable article on Music and its Professors.) PROMOTION OF SCRIPTURAL EDUCA- 'HON IN IRELAND. Exeter-hall was yesterday crowded to excess. A large proportion of the audience was composed of elegant, and fashionably-dressed ladies. At noon Lord Lorton took the Chair. We observed several Noblemen and Clerical dignitaries upon the plat form. Among others were Lords Brandon, Rad stock, Kenyon, and Mandeville. The CHAIRMAN said, that as gentlemen were pre sent who were fully acquainted with this subject, he should merely take the opportunity of bearing his testimony to two things,—that no education will answer for Ireland, unless placed on a scriptural footing, and that no people can be more anxious for such an education than the people of Ireland. Captain GORDON, 111. P., should endeavour to put the meeting in possession of the present state of scriptural education in Ireland. Fourteen years aeo a Commission was appointed to investigate the then state of education in that country; and by their report it appeared that 200,000 children were then receiving scriptural education in Ireland. By the report of another Commission, made in 1825 and 1826, it appeared that 568.964 children were at that time under this desirable course of educa tion : so that in twelve years an increase of 368,964 had taken place in the various schools throughout Ireland. Now, in what description of schools did this increase take place ? In schools which assumed as their foundation the teaching of the entire word of God. In 1812, when the first report eas made, 20,000 out of the 200,000 were Roman Catholics ; and when the last reports were made, 300,000 were in attendance on schools where the Scriptures were taught.. Between 1826 and 1831, there was an in crease in the scriptural schools of upwards of 50,000. Now 700,000 children attend the Irish schools, and from 440,000 to 450,000 are now receiving scrip tural education. What is the inference to be drawn from these facts but that experiment has succeeded, and that it ought to be followed tin ? Is this at tendance limited by the exertions of Catholic Priests, or by the want of pecuniary means ? He had no hesitation in ascribing it to the latter. The Hibernian Society is so greatly in debt to the Treasurer, that it is daily compelled to refuse appli cations to establish new schools. Sc, also, with the Ladies' Hibernian Society. If these Societies were supported by the public, they must succeed. The famishing people of Ireland were at this moment crying out for instruction; and, despite of an in tolerant Catholic hierarchy, it is only limited by the want of pecuniary resources, and by the check which • this Christian population, by want of liberality, may be pleased to give it. Another important question arises here—What is the character of the attendance of these schools ? By the report of the Commission in 1825, the Kildare-street Society schools taught 57,129 children; arid here he must remark, that the Catholic Priests exerted themselves to prevent the attendance of the children at the periods of in spection ; hence the discrepancy between the 'lumbers mentioned in the report and the amount stated by the Society itself, which, at the period alluded to, was in reality no less than 100,000. Yet out of this 57,000 remaining in the schools at the time of inspection, no less than 29,000 were Catholics; and if the number of those kept back were taken into calculation, at least two-thirds of the children educated at the Kildare-street and Hibernian Societies appear to be Roman Catholics. He begged leave to read to the meeting an extract of the examination of an in spector of these schools, who was examined on oath, respecting the feeling of the Catholics in the county of Clare, at the disturbed period of 1822. He was asked whether the iCatholics were prejudiced against Protestant schools ? He answered," Yes ; but the prejudice was on the part of the Catholic clergy, and not the Catholic population." " Are you ac quainted with the schools of the Catholic priests, which afford gratuitous instruction, and which schools would the peasantry in Clare prefer ?" An swer " Those of the Hibernian Society." He had therefore, he considered, a right to say, that he had established two things, and to these points he begged most particularly to draw the attention of the meet- • ing, as the foundation of the appeal made to them. Ist. The [etcticability of scriptural education, so far as Raman Catholic feeling, and even preference is concerned ; 2d. That there was an increasing success of scriptural education in Ireland ; and he • m ght add a third, that nothing but the penurious ness of Protestants themselves could limit that suc cess. If the Government persisted in the plan of edu cation for Ireland, they would do that for the Church of Rome which she could not effect for herself. He - came now with great pain to what he had heard in another place. He stood not there as a politician; but it was his duty to state facts. It was given as a reason in the place he had just alluded to, why the Legislature should interfere with these schools, be cause they taught the Bible which was opposed to Roman Catholic feeling.—(The Hon. Gentleman here read an extract from a speech of Mr. Stanley.) The hostility of the Roman Catholic priesthood is given as a reason by the Government why they can no longer support Protestant schools. Let them then, he would say, withhold their 30,0001. if they think proper, but do not let them use their influence to overthrow the free scriptural schools of Ireland. —(Loud cheers.) That was not neutrality, but partizanship. The new system provides that a school shall be founded in every parish ; and that for our days in the week the Bible shall be ex cluded. It was not certain whether even extracts would be admitted, but if they were, it was clear hey must he such only as would suit the Roman Catholic feeling. What must be the result of such a system as this ? It removes the Bible from Pro testant hands as well as Roman Catholic, and religion would be altogether banished from Ireland. To the Protestants of Ireland their religion was ever dear, and he could assure the meeting that whatever sys tems might be proposed, they would defend their Bibles at the risk of their lives.—(Cheers.) Lord KENYON proposed the first resolution—that the instruction of youth in the letter and principles of the entire word of God is a duty of divine obliga tion, and has been proved by experience to be essen tial to the moral well-being and social happiness of mankind. • The Rev. Mr. MELVILLE second the resolution. The resolution was carried unanimously. Lord MANDEVILLE proposed the second resolution, to the effect that the efforts hitherto made in Ire land, to teach the Scriptures, have been attended with success. Mr. SnAw, M.P. (Recorder of Dublin) supported the motion. His countrymen would obey the laws as long as they were properly administered ; but if it was sought to lay sacrilegious hands on their Bible, to tear down the standard of the living God, and to raise a mutilated one in its stead, then it would be no time to halt between two opinions—then, in every valley and on every hill of his native country, would resound the rallying cry, " To your tents, 0 Israel !"—They would unite in one mighty band, ready to march forward, despite all the Kings of the earth who should come against them. Strong, not in their own strength, but in the cause of their God, they might be vanquished, but they would never surrender.—(Great applause.) The Rev. Dr. Dealtry, the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, the Hon. and Rev. Gerard Noel, and the Rev. Mr. Benson, then addressed the meeting; when, after thanks were passed to the chair, it was resolved that the meeting should adjourn to that day week at twelve o'clock. Most of the speeches were remarkable for intem perate language. Within the last few days some of the pitmen have been committed to gaol, to take their trial at the ap. proaching Durham A,sizrs, on a charge of being con cerned in the diabolical outrage at Waldridge Colliery. Early on Saturday morning last, while four pitmen were r,turning from their wink at Cranaling t un C o lli ery, t h ey were waylaid by eight other!, with black and muffled-up fices, who attacked them with bludgeons, fractured some of their skull', cod nearly murdered them....

That a sum of 3,000,0001., now i❑ the Exchequer, should be applied to the services of the present year. 2. That the necessary transfers be made to the Bank of England, &e. 3. That towards raising a supply fur his Majesty, 4, in the pound should he charged on all pensions and offices. Also a resolution as to the Exchequer Bills outstanding, and that 60,0001. be issued for pensions and allowances under the E*st India Company, in conformity with the statute 4th Geo. IV. The NOBLE Lotto also moved a resolution, thjt
