Member for Kent, who had brought fore _ motion.—( Hear, hear.) But he had no hesitation as h ,elai st • vote which he should himself give, and he was perfectly ready to avow the grounds on which he should give it. He had been in Parliament thirty years, and fur thirty years he had voted for th a t grant, and he was not prepared without very strong grounds t o say h e ac t e d wrong d ur i ng th e hole of that relied. The grant h a d b een established by a P arliament exclusiveie v Proteetant. It had survived the Act of Union, when religious aniinosities ra n hi gh, ai d it was continued during the govern ment of Mr. Perceval, who was of opinioe that the public faith was i nvo l ve d i n it. The sudden wiihdrawel of the grant might lead to the idea that they were actuated by animosity towards their Roman Catholic fellow subjects. At the same time, however, he begged to state that be did not be t eve that 5u.,11 a pledge had ever been given to the Rom n Catholics, that it could not be withdrawn if perverted or abused.--(llear, hear.) The College of Maynooth had been the subject of various inquii ics. He could not agree to the statement which he understood the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland had 'Lade, that the sesteni of iestree tion pursued at Maynooth was a matter of indifference. If there were imperfections or abuses in the system of education at Maynooth, inquiries ought to be instituted ; lea no else had certainly in his mind been made out for withdrawin g the vote, and he felt bound, therefore, to oppose the motion, although he could not censure those who made it.—( Hear, hear. ) Lo d MORPETH explained. What he had slated, or in tended to state, was, that he did not think himself bound to ex amine the contents of the books used for the education of pa pils destined for the Roman Catlinlis Church as long as he knew they were books sanctioned and prescribed by the Roman Catholic ecclesiastical authorities.—(Hear, hear.) So far from saying inquiry ought not to be made into any abuse, he distinctly stated that if there was any departure from the origi nal intention, a representation to that effect might to be made to the Visitors, and by them to the Government.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. LITTON and Sir R. leetis also said a few words in ex planation. Mr. DARBY could not support the motion. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL observed that the Roman Catho lics were perfectly indifferent whether the grant was continued or withdrawn. f, however, it were withdrawn upon the prin ciple urged by the Hen. Baronet, the Member for the Univer sity of Oxford, that persons professing one religion ought nut to contribute towards the support of another, act pritseifile would be perfectly satisfactory to the Roman Catholice of Ira. land, and they would apply it to the members of the Church of England.—( Hear. ) Mr. Sergeant JACKSON could not give a silent vote. There was nothing in the nature of a contract; but the Act of 1795 did recite that it was expedient there should be a College at 31aynooth. Certain books had been used in that College of a very injurious tendency; t 4 et was shown by the report ut the Commissioner, to which allesion had been made. He would, therefore, advise his Hon, Friend, the Member for Kent, to withdraw his present motion, and submit a motion fur &A inquiry to ascertain if the charges were well founded, so as to enable the Executive Government to put the matter into a train of correction if there were abuses. Mr. LASCELLES concurred in all that had fallen frem his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Tamworth, and would urge the continuance of the grant. It ought to be the object of the House to conciliate the Catholics of Ireland—( Hear, hear)—and being of opinion they ought to administer to she people of Ireland a system of education conformable to the opinions of the majority, he should oppose the ihotion. After a few words from Col. 5113THORP, recummeniiing the withdrawal of the motion, Mr. PLUMPTRE, seeing there was a difference of opinion among those with whom he usually acted, was willing to with draw the motion. The House might feel assured, however, that if he withdrew his motion the matter would rot be al lowed to rest. Mr. HUME submitted the motion had been brought forward in due form.—(A laugh.) It was a question with which the House had been threatened for some time, and as the debate had occupied so much time, a division upon it had better lake place at once.—( dear, hear. ) Mr. BARRON was astonished that Hon. Gentlemtn oppio site should shrina from a division. Many of them l.ad gained their seats by the cry they had 54 up against INlanJoth, and now in a cowardly anst base manner they endeavotned to with draw. The SPEAKER—The lion. Member has applied the epithets "cowardly" and " b..,se" to certain Members of tits lloese. In doing so he has lost respect for *le House, neat I must request hint to retract the expression.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. BA R 110 N—I must say, Sir, that if you pronounce that to be unparliamentary, I am of course bound Immediately to withdraw it, and to adhere to your decision—( Hear, and laugh ter)—but I do not, and cannot conceive anything more base —( Order, order! and laughter)—than for a body of men on the hustings-1 am now supposing a case, Sir—( Great laughter)—l cannot conceive anything more base than for a body of men tto come before their constituents at Oxford, Kant, and other places, and to bring forward every s p ec i es o f b ase ca lumny and falsehood—of invention the most detestabl e , the most unfounded, and the mo s t unc ha r it a bl e , aga i nst a body: of their fellow- Christians—( Hear, hear)—denouncing Maynoeth as worse than a den of thieves—as the very acme of infamy and of baseness —( Hear, hear)—and then, when the questicn cornea to be debated, to shrink from a division in a cowardly.— Mr. CHRISTOPHER—Sir, I rise to order. 1 appeal to you, Sir, whether the insinuation s o f th e H onourable Gen tleman lo not distinctly apply to certain Menthers on this side of the House.—( Great laughter and cries of " Oh, oh.") He first says that certain persons on the hustings have made use of language, which certainly no gentleman would make use of; and then he says their shrinking from a division in this House, evidently alluding to the Members in this House —and I ask you, Sir, whether that is Parliamentary?—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) • .„ Mr. BARRON—I am exceedingly sorry to find the Han. Gentleman attributes to his friends the case I was attempting to put.—(Great laughter and cheering.) If he thinks it is ay.. plicable to them I shall say nothing more.—( Renewed cheering and laughter.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by saying he was glad the Right lion. liarono, the Member for lamb orth had had the manlaiess to come forward and disavow any connection with the patty who had supported the motior. lo to a divi.. fion they must, for they could not shrink from Ate pledge they had gii en on the Sir G. SMITH supported the motion, and would divWa upon it if he stood alone. Colonel PERCEVAL recommended the 'withdrawal of tie motion. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. The House then divided, when the nonabers were— For the grant... l2l Against it .............. 42 Majority for the grant .................... On our re-admission to the gallery, we found Lord CHARLES FITZROY moving that as humble Address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will Ivis graciously pleased to direct a Commission to be sent to the lonian Islands, to inquire into and report upon all grieratioes against the Government of th ose is - lands that may be la* before it. Lord JOIIN RUSSELL opposed the motion. Ile belief that the present mode of government in the lonian Islands was not exactly what was understood in this country as a free Go vernment. But it must be considered that the people were in a very uninformed state, and he hoped that the education which was now in progress would, in course of time, fit them for a Government of greater freedom.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) An extensive conspiracy had also been discovered in mine. , tion with a conspiracy in Greece for the deposition of King Otho, the object of which was to withdraw those Wanks front British protection, and not to establish a free govern ment, but to offer the protection to some other Power. The Patriarch of Constantinople had been active in this cosepia racy, and on the representation of the British Ambassador at Constantleople he had been deposed. Under there circlet stances he thought no benefit would accrue from the issuing of such a Commission, and he therefore must oppose the motion. Mr. HUM wished the Noble Lord would adopt the course in this instance which had been adopted in Malta. Tho Com mission sent out there had discovered that the Maltese had ja.t complaints, and the Noble Lord had, much to his credit, re dressetthem in many instances; he knew no Commission tip which so much credit. was due as to the Maite.le Commission. Ile felt satisfied that if the Noble Lord would send out a Com missioner to the lonian Island, he would ascertain the troth. Sir ft. PEEL thought it difficult to lay down any general rule as to the propriety of sending out Commissioners. A great deal must depend upon the circumstances of the case, anti ' he thought that at this moment to send oat a Commission to the lonian Islands must be fraught with dangker, consi dering that those Islands had lately been the seat of a eon spiraey, at the head of which was an individual of such rack as the Patriarch of Constantinople. He cordially supported the Noble Lord in his opposition to the motion. Captain BOLDER() said Sir Howard Douglas was entitled to the greatest credit for his administration. Severity was absolutely necessary. There were several families in these islands known to hold diplomatic situations under the Emperor of Russia, who were perpetually intriguing, and on several oc casions the garrison had been put under arms to arrest three persons, and their houses searched, when the most undeniable proofs had been found of their treasonable practices. He hoped the Noble Lord would withdraw his motion. Lord C. FITZROY briefly replied—The conspiracies which had been spoken of were nothing more than naisdemeanciers. He feared the Attorney-General was not acquainted with the lonian law ; and lie also feared he hatil nut gained any informs. tion respecting it that evening, as he appeared to have been asleep.—( Laughter.) Very recently a law had been enacted there to flog prisoners at discretion, and aewther to prevent the reading of en English newspaper without a censorship. lie thought such arbitrary powers as these ought not to be vested in any person.—( Hear, hear.) Yielding, however, to the opi nion of the House, he should withdraw the motion. Mr. GltliEN E moved for leave to bring isi a Bill to enable Canal Companies to carry goods upon canals. Mr. E. TENNENT moved for leave to bring ip a sill to amend the Act for regulating the Civil Bill Courts it and ---79 Mr. FOX MAULS for leave to biting i►i a Bill to provide for keeping the peace on canals and navigable rivers. Agreed to. The Borough Watch Rate Bill, and the Poor Clew iin— tentince Bill, were read a third time and passed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, ssidilso .

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented several petitions from Manchester, Northumberland, and other places in favour of the Bill introduced by his Lordship for the better administration of justice in the Court of Chan cery, REMOVAL OF THE COURTS. The NOBLE and LEI.ENED Loan also presented a peti _on from 1,500 solicitors practising in London, praying for the removal of the Courts of Law from Westminster Hall to Lincoln's Inn. IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL. Lord KENYON, for his Noble and Learned Friend who was unable to attend (Lord Wynford), gave notice that on the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill going into Committee, he would move that the city of Dublin be exclu led from the operation of that Act. POOR-LAW ACT (IRELAND). The ;Marquis of NOR M ANBY complained of the Mar quis of Westmeath having entered a notice of motion on the books for Thursday next, for a Committee of inquiry into the operation of the Irish Poor Law Act without having publicly intimated his intention of doing so. Such a course was contrary to the rule generally observed by their Lord, ships. The Marquis of WE STME ATH had not intended to take any advantage. Mr. Nichols having been in Eng land, he thought the Noble Marquis had had the neces sary communications with that gentleman ; and that he (the Marquis of Westmeath) would be fully justified in proceeding with his motion. The Marquis of NORM ANBY said that Mr. Nichols had returned to Ireland. All he wished was, that time might be afforded for obtaining possession of those facts that could be derived only from Mr. Nichols. The Marquis of WESTMEATH'S object was to pro duce an amendment of the law, for at present the machinery of that measure was a mere farce. The Earl of WICKLOW thought the most judicious course would be to postpone the motion till next Session, because it was impossible that any Bill could result from the appaintment of a Committee during the present Session. Lord BROUGHAM observed that the Noble Marquis must net expect that those who had opposed the Irish Poor law Act would support his motion. He, for one, had op posed that Act, but now that it was law he was anxious to give it a fair trial.—( Hear, hear, bear.) Lord EL LENBOROUG II deprecated any such mo tion being brought forward as that of which the Noble Marquis had given notice. He thought such a discussion would only revive party feeling, and produce more evil than good. The Marquis of WESTMEATH'S main object was to amend the valuation. The Earl of GLENGALL hoped the Noble Marquis would persevere with his motion. After some further conversation, The Marquis of WESTMEATH postponed his mo tion till Friday week. A mes'age from the Commons brought up the Colonial Passengers' Bill, the Timber Duties Bill, and the Admi ralty Bill, which were, on the motion of Lord DUN CANNON, severally read a first time. BRITISH AUXILIARY LEGION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY had a notice on the books for Thursday next, relative to the claims of the officers of the British Auxiliary Legion and the Spanish Go vernment. He was not anxious to cabal rass the Noble Vis count, and if an assurance were given him that negotia tions were going on, he would put that motion off till a future day. V!scount MELBOURNE replied, that a negotiation was in progress and near its termination. Bills had been received in London to the amount of 50,000/., and Sir De Lacy Evans had left Madrid satisfied with the nego ciation as far as it had gone. PATRONAGE IN THE COLONIES. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved fora return of the answers returned from the provinces of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Island, and Nova Scotia, to the letter of the Secretary for the Colonies, re lating to the distribution of patronage in the colonies. Lord MELBOURNE said that there was no objection to present the despatches from Newfoundland and Prince Edward's Island. That from New Brunswick had not been received ; and he thoaght it would be inexpedient for the public service to lay on the table fle despatch that had been received from Nova Scotia. The Dnkc of WELLINGTON said that perhaps the inse►tion of the words, or abstracts," would include all. Lord MELBOURNE assented, and the words having been inserted, the returns were ordered. The Earl of WARWICK presented a petitien from Birmingham, praying for the extension of the Metropolitan Police to that borough. The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a petition from Abbe; lacy, in the County of Longford, against the natilnal system of education in Ireland. The Noble Marquis then, pursuant to notice, called the attention of their Lordships to the conduct of a . certain Roman Ca. tholic priest, of the name of O'Reilly, in the parish of Ballymacue, who, from the altar, said that some of his Protestant neighbours ought to have their ears cut off like pigs or asses.—( Hear.) The Government ought to account for not having prosecuted that man; al- though it was not wonderful that they did not, as they owed their maintenance in oflice to the friendly and active support of the Catholic priesthood. The Govern ment were not forgetful of that support. At the Assizes of Cork, a priest named Bourke, had suborned a witness to swear away the life of another man. Bourke was convicted of the subornation and sentenced to three years' imprison ment and a fine of 50/. The Government mitigated the fine to 201. at the expiration of the imprisonment. In an other case the pu❑iahment of a priest named NV Carol was mitigated from 201. to 40s. The Catholic priests did no: merit the protection which Government extended to them. Ho said, as a class, they did not merit it. In the recent improvement which had taken place in a large portion of the people of Ireland in respect to a particular vice—which improvement he hoped would be permanent—tbe parochial clergy were superseded in the performance of their duties in their own parishes by to humble and well-meaning in dividual. He concluded by moving for a return of cor respondence relating to the conduct of a priest named o' Reilly. illy. The s of NORMANBY said that any one who heard the Noble Marquis would suppose that the case re ferred to was one between Catholic priests and their Pro testant neighbours. It was, in fact, a case between Ca tholie and Catholic, or, more strictly speaking, between priest and priest. The complainant was a priest of the name of O'Reilly, and the priest complained against was of the same name. It arose out of the customs of a fair, which, although a right of property was illegally en forced, by requiring people going out of the Lair with cattle to swear whether they were sold or not, as the pay ment of the customs depended upon the Cattle having been sold. The priest, O'Reilly, complained of denounced this practice on the part of his brother priest of the same name, who was proprietor of the fair, and warned his flock from the altar against taking land under bite, using some very violent language, hut not such as the Noble Marquis had represented. A Government prosecution was com menced on account of that conduct ; but, in the mean time, the matter was brought before a bench of m agistrates, upon whose mercy the priest complained against threw himself, apologising for his conduct, and promising never to use such language again, or to interfere with the pro perty of his brother priest. The magistrates accepted his apology, and his offer to pay the complainant 501., and, subsequently in a memorial to the Government, stated their opinion that enough had been done for the peace of the country, and that the laws had been sufficiently vindi cated. On that ground the Government prosecution was abandoned. He resisted the motion. The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that the de fence of the Noble Marquis was a total failure. --( A laugh.) The Noble Mai quis admitted the truth of his statement, and snowed that there had been a Government prosecution, which was abandoned, without the laws having been in any way vindicated.—( Hear, and a laugh.) He considered the case one of very great importance to the peace of the country, and he felt he was justified in calling the attention of their Lordships to the manner in which the Government protected the Roman Catholic clergy from deserved punishment. He would persist in the motion. Their Lordships then divided, when the numbers were— For the motion lB Against it l9 Majority Their Lordships then adjourned to Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 23.

Mr. WILBRAHAM seconded the motion. Mr. GREENE resisted the application, on the ground ,f Standing Orders had over and that the Committee cm over again decided that those orders were absolutely men. tial for the protection of the public. There was no rea son why they should be departed from in this instance. Unless the portion of the capita required by the Orders, that is, 10 per cent., were deposited in the Exchequer, prior to the application to Parliament, the door would be opened to the formation of such visionary or fraudulent schemes as the Order was designed to prevent. Mr. JARVIS said that if this were a mere private spe culation, or an ordinary railway, he might concur in the observation of the Gentleman who had last addressed the House. But this was a great national undertaking, by which the country would ' be relieved from great expense, d a large portion of "_the public murderers was taking away every motive for offenders to show mercy to their victims, and in fact giving them the inducement of personal safety to commit murder.

The grant to the College of Maynooth was guaranteed by two distinct Acts, of the Irish Parliament—the one passed in the year 1796 and the other in *he year 1800. The Hon.

That the frame of the Solicitor-General for Iceland's Bill gives quite " groundwork" enough for the attain ment of whatever is honest in the ostensible object of Lord Stanley's, is certain. That it will give no " groundwork" for what is dishonest in the views of the party who hallooed his Lordship on in the project which this will have superseded—is equally certaiu. That party, therefore, will find, as they have found befcre, that the guidance of ex-Reformers is rather apt to lead them into treat scrapes. The strength of Conservatism is on the defensive ; they are properly the party of Resistance. To act on the offensive in this dashing style belongs to those who have more confidence of popular force. L can only commit the Conservative party in closer con flict with that force than the Fabian policy of their wiser chiefs would think of adventuring. They have enough to do to defend old ground, without seeking to occupy new; and whenever they take the field in this way, and assume the offensive, they combine and arouse forces against them which they should seek rather to divert and divide. Party passions, as continually happens, are too strong for party policy, when we find the Tories (as lately) following Lord Brougham in Canada—or Lord Stanley in Ireland. They fancy that all the advantage of these reckless talents has accrued to their side : and they find at last they have only helped them to indulge their humours at their expense. It is Aufidius and his Vol scions following Coriolanus to Rome—and back again. (From the Courier.) From the party warfare of personal slander and the dis gusting and unhallowed inroads of party writers upon the privacies of domestic life the Courier has held scornfully aloof; or it has noticed only the more strongly to protest against the use of weapons as infamous and unrecognised in all decent society, as would be the stiletto and skulking thrust of the midnight assassin abhorrent from the habits of an ho nourable soldier of Wellington. It is not without loathing, therefore, that we recur at all to the filthy out-pourings of the Ministerial press in a sense so revel ing, and now only be eause the fire continues unslackened, as if the ammunition of the foulest calumny and most malignant hatred were inexhaustible of supply. The special leader in this coarse and revolting career is, par excellence, the convicted I morning slanderer of Queen Adelaide, who, having been disappointed of one illustrious victim, is only the more ravingly stimulated to the search of another. The one most fiercely fixed upon and unrelentingly pursued is the King of Hanover, a Prince of the Royal House of Bruns wick, of which her Majesty Queen Victoria is the graceful head ; and the venom of tke viper becomes only the more deeply rancorous and concentrated as the personage per secuted chances to be more exalted of station. THE MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of June 23.) SVC/Alt.—ln the British Plantation market considerable excitement 'has prevailed during the past week. It not being the intention of Government to make any alteration in the duties on Foreign Sugars this session, caused both grocers and refiners to be eager buyers of both brown and yellow sorts of West India : the purchases for the three market days have amounted to 2,500 hbds, &c., and they would have been on a larger scale if the market had been better supplied e, the prices paid were 2s to 3s above those of this day week. At the opening of the West India market this morning. both refiners and grocers were very anxious to purchase, and there were some inquiries for Scotland and Liverpool; the great deficiency in the comparative stocks caused the merchants again to ask advanced awes, which they succeeded in getting, and throughout the day the de mand etas goad for both brown and yellow descriptions ; all on show was Naught up, and the prices paid are is a Is 6d above those of Friday.
