We, therefore, as an act of jus tice, repudiate the animadversions alluded to, and take an early op portunity of stating our belief that they were undeserved, and of ex preseing our regret that they were inserted in our pages."—Lancet, December 4.

Member for Nottingham persisted in Isis intention of bringing on his motion for " a Committee to inquire and report on the means by which the dissolution of the Parliament of Ireland was affected, on the effects of that measure upon Ireland, and upon the labourers in husbandry and operatives in manufactures in England, and on the probable consequences of continuing the legislative union between both countries." The House was conse quently occupied for the entire evening with the subject, and the debate might (with some few exceptions) have taken place at Conciliation Hall, the Repealers had it so entirely to themselves. The moderation of the anti-Repealers was rewarded by the termination of the discussion in a single bight, and the rejection of the motion by a majority of 232, the numbers for the motion being 23, and anst it 24%5. Th e greet question, which had ob tainedlo nistny new converts , and the speedy triumph of 'which wa s a matter of pee ' ect certainty , has thus received a: quietus at least for the present. The very sauigpnpifioretat silence bowith motion was rece i ve d was far which the argum en t s o f th e more effectual be, the and d most brilli an t ora t ory could have rebuke to those who conveyed a forcibl e really urgent business, I°4 an i) d ed eel the p rogress of detained the severa l Members at a most inconvenient their respective dwellings. It is to br time from the proposition of Sir JOHN P AKlNGTollegretted th a t the orders of the day precedence over formotoig:ilving s on Tuesdays and Thursdays, until afte r t h e Christina* ho lid ays, was riof acceded to. In such ca se a valuable day would not have been wholly lost to the coun t r y, Onfl a material advance would have b een made in ths legislation %%bid) it is 4b , olutely essen efore the trjournment of th e ttial to have enacted b 'House. - Were it not that it Mould have been unwise to foster in any degree the Repeal delusion, or to yield any encouragement to its abettors, the House could not have adopted a mere effectual course for getting rid of the question than by acceding 'to the motion, and granting the proposed Committee. A wide field of investigation would have been thereby opened up. " The means by which the dissolution of the P a rliam en t of Ireland was I effected " would alone involve the history of the entire nation for a series of years preceding the union, more particularly the insurrection of 1798 and the causes which led thereto. The secret histories of the individual members of either branch of the Irish Parliament should also be inquired into ; and when, in addition thereto, the effects of the measure, not only on Ireland, but upon the labourers in hus• bandry and the operatives in manufactures in Eng land, for the last forty-seven years, and also the probable consequences of the legislative union, was to be reported on, we might reasonably calculate that die labours of the Com mittee would be almost interininable,..and that the question would be fairly -shel*ed, at least for the present Parliament. Swine of the Irish Members are loud in their complaints that the Government have not as yet introduced the remedial measures which are intended to accompany the Bill for the prevention of crimes and outrages in Ireland, which has erro neously been termed a coercion Bill; but how is it pos sible that everything can be done when so much valuable time is frittered away and wasted on subjects which can certainly lead to no immediate result, and which there would be ample opportunities of dis cussing under much more favourable circumstances at a later period of the session ? Again have the citizens of London decided to en trust their personal interests to an Israelite. After declaring the Baron LIONEL DE RoTnscuinn to be their representative in the Imperial Parliament, they have now proclaimed Mr. DAVID SaLostoNs Alder man for the Ward of Cordwainers. There is some thing very significant in all this ; there is evidence in it that the inhabitants of the metropolis of Great Britain are resolved, even with a spirit of enthu siasm, to forward by every possible means the cause of religious as well as that of political toleration. A more propitious movement could scarcely have been made for the removal of the Jewish disabilities than that which displays the population of the capital city of the empire among the fore Most of the requisi tionists, and the Prime Minister of England among the foremost of the legislative advocates, of this extra ordinary measure of emancipation. There is one consideration which attaches an especial importance to the settlement of the civil liberation of the children of ABRAHAM, namely, that with the abolition of these unintentional disabilities, the last syllable of bigotry will be expunged from the Constitution. Many de testable and contemptible flaws will unquestionably remain upon the statute-book, but endeavours are likewise making for their obliteration; and, supposing they are still permitted to disgrace this liberal king dom and enlightened generation, they will be alto gether as innocuous as they are worthy of derision and abhorrence. On this very forenoon the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill will have been forced upon the attention of the Legislat ure b y t h e l au d a bl e pertinacity ofits originator, Mr. CHISHOLM Aim; and in the event of his efforts for the abrogation of the old, obsolete, and brutal penal enactments, proving as ineffectual as those of Mr. WATSON during the last session of Parliament, an additional amount of odium will have accumulated round those villanous blots on the national escutcheon, and their ultimate ex purgation will be rendered yet more inevitable. By the almost unanimous manner in which Alder man SALOMONS has been invested with the municipal authority inseparable from the suffrages of the ward of Cordwainers, the invidious recollection of his un successful endeavours to be nominated for the ward of Portsoken have been immeasurably more than compensated. As a corollary to the decision in favour of the Hebrew race recently declared before the hustings of Guildhall, and sanctioned by the approbation of the PREMIER and his constituents, this election of Alderman SALOMONS to a seat in the Common Council of London is most decisive and significant. It is additional and emphatic testimony that in this great City there is no dereliction of duty in regard to that universal charity which is incul cated by the benignant genius of Christianity, as far as the unfortunate race are con cerned who have writhed for eighteen centuries, in exile, under the brand of the Ne mesis of Palestine. It is a fresh token that there is little necessity to appeal to the understandings and hearts of our fellow -citizens against that spirit of per secution which is still predominant in the conventicles of Exeter Hall, and which would guard the portals of the national House at Westminster with the phantom obstructions of a preposterous Oath. It has become perfectly manifest, from the abs nence of the Baron LIONEL DE Roffiscnan, from at tempting to take his seat in Parliament that he (as the mouthpiece of the most venerable people on the face of the globe) is resolved to meet the present difficulty of his position with no injudicious quibble, or unbecoming evasion. By his patient pro crastination he shows himself to be as earnest if not as enthusiastic a champion of religious tolerance as THE LIBERATOR himself. Sup `posing he were brought to-morrow before the chair of the SPEAKER, and required to pronounce the Oath of Abjuration before the assembled Commons of England, we doubt not but that he would be as resolute 'in his refusal as the first represen tative of the order of the Society of Friends. Before many days have elapsed, however, the question of the release of the Jews from their -xisting civil disabilities will have been brought ministerially under the consideration of our Legisla tors, and have found a noble and appropriate advo cate in the person of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Until then the expectation of the lovers of civil and reli- gious freedom must continue to be of the most sanguine character. It does not, certainly, require to be demonstrated that a principle which has been decried by the surly rhetoric of the Quarterly can, neverthe • less notwithstanding, prove triumphant. That has been demonstrated already a hundred times. Nor is it in any manner essential that the predictions of fanaticism should be proven idle and fallacious. That is long ago notorious. But it is most absolutely and most decidedly requisite that the question of the Jewish disabilities should be calmly and boldly scrutinised by the Legislature, and that a final. verdict should be pronounced by Parliament upora the high crime o religious bigotry. Deputies from the various towiz in the island of Sardinia have arrived at Genoa, to petition King Cl/ARLES ALIBI/1T to unite that ;.slanci with his other states on the continent. Letters from Rome announce that the POPE has appointed Signor PAIL/13151 administrative atatician of the Council of State. Signor PARADISI is the writer who, in the columns of tile Contemporaneo, has never seated to denounce and expose the manner in which the former Governments had, for years, jobbed with Prince TORLONIA, in thq farming of the tobacco and salt duties. Cardinal. FERRETTI has written a letter to PARADISI, expressing to him the approbation of the POPE of the mt inner in which he has made this exposure of the pecTala tions of the former Governments. The following is a summary of the proceedings of the Swiss Diet in its sitting of the 2d : " The first vote was for sendias g Federal repre sentatives to the Valais, the capitult .tion of which was recorded, aid that they should r es:eive the same in structions as those given to the Ccanamissioners to the other States of the Sonderbuntd. M. Furrer then brought up, in the name of the ci minsittee, the draft of the note to be addressed by the ,Diret in reply to the Prussian note. He said that the Prt tub:al note ought to have been addressed direct to the Di et, instead of being transmitted to the Directory to be c( ,mmunicated to the states.

Orders have been given to prepare the Tuileries for the reception of the KING :Ind Royal Family, who will arrive in Paris on the loth, preparatory to the opening of the session. Already nearly 300 Deputies have arrived in. Paris, the great majority of whom express their dissatisfaction with th• line of policy which M. GuizoT has thought proper to adopt with regard to SwitzErland. He in his turn threatens them with the vengeance of the Reformers, who de mand the expulsion of all placemen from the Chamber, and declares; that if he be , superseded in the Ministry at the . present moment, hit successor, whoever he may be, must yield so far to "the pressure from without" upon the. reform question .as to exclude. all receptly appointed or promoted placemen from the Chamber, by which measure nearly 180 Deputies would be affected, and he counts upon the personal fears of these 180 to keep up his majority.

General VRNTURA, who, it will be recollected, was long the favourite General of RUNJEET SING 11, and who disciplined the Sikh forces of the Punjaub s sailed recently from Marseilles on -board the Rharnses packet for Rome, where he will remain a short time, after which he will embark for India viii Egypt. It was rumoured. on the Bourse that General NARVARZ had completely lost the confidence of Queen CHRISTINA, who was busily engaged. in ,an intrigue to oust him from office, and to form a new Cabinet,,) of which Molt PIDAL and GONZALES BRAVO would be members.

Monday's prices. The best parcels of Foreign Wheat were in good request, at full currencies. In the middling and inferior kinds, though we cannot call them cheaper, very little business was transacted. For Malting Batley there was an improved inquiry, at full currencies; and the - value of other kinds was well supported. Although the supply of Malt was small, that article ruled dull, at barely late rates. The beat parcels of Oats moved off steadily, at a trifle more money. Other qualities were quit• as dear.

L 7 tte, i euteuant-General Baron de Juel, who was for more than fifteen years Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Denmark, at the Court of - the Tuileries, died oe the 27th ult., aged seventy-nine, at Juelsberg, in the island, of Zinnia. ,~ Neufchatel, M. Calame, said that he could not take part in the affair, it 'being in 'ether hands than his. He thought, however, that the present case was not pro ' vi led for by the Act annexing Neufchatel to Bisvilz 'r land. The proceeding of the King s,f pru,sia, he 2dded, was quite spontaneous. The Government of Neufchatel, from the interest which it felt fur its Sovereign, had re ceived with gratitude that proof of his Majesty's solici tude, and had thought it right to inform ell the confede rates of it. The deputy of Geneva, Mr. James Fazy, said that it must be understood that the term Principalitrof Neufchatel,' which was employed, - was only a vague phrase which did not imply any recognitiun on the part of the Confederation of a real principality. Switzerland only roe cognised a sovereign Canton of N e uf c h a t e l, a n d th e P r i nc e of Neufchatel was only' a lord possessing soma feudal rights therein, but could not be . considered as Sovereign with respect to Switzerland. The canton which he (M. Fazy) represented did not believe that the recent act of the King of Prussia was spontaneous, but believed that the King had ceded to the representations of a party interested in causing it to be believed that he would be disposed to intervene in the affairs of Switzerland. M. Ochsenbein, the deputy of Berne, said that he also hail protested against the King's note. The sanction of the King of Prussia had been sclicitcd ostensibly or clan destinely. If it were attempted, he added, to have con ferences in Switzerland; the Confederation would know how to protest against them, as it had opposed the in trigues of the separate league. The deputy of Neuf chatel repeated that the proceedings of the King of Prussia had been spontaneous, and complained that his declarations should be doubted. M. Fazy again de clared that Switzerland knew no Prince of Neufchatel, but fully recognised the sovereignty of that canton. M. Ferrer having stated that there was no objection to modify the wording of the note so as to meet the views of the deputy of Geneva, the debate was declared to be closed, and the note was adopted by 13 states and two half states, including Bide Ville. The Diet then adopts d the decree to eomeel the cantons of the Sonderband to pay the expenses of the war, and declaring that those cantons shall be occupied by the Federal troops until the pay ment shall be effected. A resolution, approving the measures taken by the Directory, thaidtingit for them, and inviting it to continue them, subject to the provi sions of the previous decree, was then adopted. A dis patch. frOsa the Government of Neufchatel, stating_ that it was disposed to pay over its contingent to the Federal exchequer, was next read. It was stated that the ex penses of maintaining an army of 50,000 men for the occupation of the Sonderbund cantons Would• iv about 5,011,000 f. To cover these expenses, a loan would, it was said, have to be raised, or,the bonds belonging to the Confederation be sold. The deputy of St. Gall expressed a hope that no loan would be raised abroad, and said that there was sufficient patriotism in Switzerland to enable the sum to be raised in the country. A vote, approving the conduct of the Directory in, effecting a load of 526,166 f. from the Cantonal Batik ifl3erne, for the temporary maintenance of the troops, was then passed; .Complimentary addresses to the Diet froai Leipzic and Deax Fonts were read. On the proposition of Berne, a motion was ordered to be placed on the or ders of the day for according pensions to the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the service of the Confederation." Madrid papers of the 29th ult. have arrived. The discussion on the AddresS was continued in the Chamber of Deputies, and Senor CORTINA, who was speaking When the post left, denounced the Mi nistry in severe terms fiz their illegal conduct in the arrest and deportation of MIRALL, the singer, and for their inconsistency in first dismissing Generals CONCHA, Ros DE OLANO, and CORDOVA, and then loading them with favours. Should NARVAEZ reply to these accusations, some curious disclostires may be expected as to the nature of the recent intrigues of the Afrancesado Camarilla in the Palace.

Sales, 2,000 bales, of which 1,500 were American, at 41d. to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares had not been so good, and prices were rather lower. The letters received from the West Indies to day by merchants connected with the trade of the colonies, are of a most disheartening description. Everything appeared to conspire against the interest of the owners of estates— hurricanes in some. places—returned bills from the mother country, and the= markets for product! ,as'ciull •as they possibly could be. . The quantity, of specie brought by the mail steamer is, we understand, wholly on merchants' account, as there is no advice of ,arty of the precious metals being on behalf of the. Mexican dividends. There is a report current that the French Ministry hzs signed, and that prices have come over lower from the Parisian Bourse. It will be seen by our Stock Ex change report that prices hare been reduced. • e It is stated in advices of O c t. 1, from The Equator, that the Cmigress had decided upen the restoration, to the wife and family of General Flores, of the estates which had been wrongfully taken from them. It appears that the conduct of General Flores in quitting his coun try, to avoid embroiling it in civil war, is much com mended. Consols for the Account have fallen from 864 to 86, but the present value is i t per cent. better. The money price is 854 There have been some consider able sales of Stock made this morning. The premium upon' Exchequer-bills has improved from 4s. to Is., and India Bon'ds command a rising value from 255. to 18s. discount. Bank Stock has been subjected to some fluc tuation this morning, viz., from 1864 to 1884. The quotations of Mexican Bonds have receded from 18 to 174 I. • Spanish Bonds have remained at 174; the Dutch Two -and-a-Half per Cents. are at 5i4; and the Four per Cent. Certificates at 84 In the Railway Share Market . the . principal bargains have been in the Caledonian; it . 374; in ti ~,Eastern Counties, at 161 4 ; in the Great North of England, at 224 to 227; in the Great Western, at 13 to 15 premium; in the Great Northern, at 54 discount; in the London and Brighton, at 434 to 44; and in the York and North Midland, at 75 to 76. London and Westminster Bank Shares are at 34 premium. It is rumoured that a large firm connected with the wool and woollen trades is in difficulties.

The Vice• Chancellor of England took motions to day, it being the second seal after Michaelmas Term. CARPENTER V. WOOTTON-INJUNCTION. Mr. BETIMLL applied, at the sitting of the Court, upon notice for a special injunction to restrain the defendant from manufacturing or selling locks with burrs or dies, in imitation of those manufactured by the plaintiff. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, it appeared that the plaintiff; Carpenter, and a person named Tildsley, had they sole right, under a patent granted to a Mr. James Carpenter, to manufacture locks, know❑ to the trade under the denomination of Carpen tees: Patent, No. 60, to which were' attached burrs or dies of a peculiar nature. Those dies were manufactured for the plaintiff by a person named Taylor, at 2s. 6d. a gross ; but of such importance did the defendant con sider them, that he offered Taylor 20s. a gross if ke wouldirnanufaeture them for him. Taylor, however, re fused to do so, and the defendant got them made else- where, and was now selling his locks as those manufac tured by the plaintiff. His HONOUR, upon a genuine and imitation burr being handed up to him, observed, that the imitation was a most glaring one, and immediately:granted the injunction. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) KEELEY v. O'CONNELL. This action was brought by a journeyman tailor, to recover compensation from the defendant, who is the landlord of the Yorkshire Grey public house, White Lion-street, Seven Dials, for injury sustained in conse quence of an assault committed upon him by the de fendant, by which he lost the sight of one of his eyes. On the evening of the 26th of December last, the plain tiff and a number of other persons were drinking in the defendant's house. A fight took place, and defendant endeavoured to remove one of the combatants, and whilst doing so the defendant resisted the attempt. Defendant struck the plaintiff in the face, and the plaintiff after wards went home, when he complained of a severe pain in his eye. The plaintiff became a patient of the Op thalmic Hospital. Several operations were performed upon him by the surgeons of the hospital, who paid great attention to his case, but their efforts were un availing, and it was ultimately declared that it was im possible to restore the sight of the eye. Chief Justice WILDE summed up. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 201. --- SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) MADDEN V. MILLS. The plaintiff in this action is a surveyor i 9 king street, Cheupside; defendant is a gentleman residing at Islingto n . Th e c l a i m was f or 28 1 . Gs. 6d., for surveying property required for the purposes of the East and West India Dock Junction Railway Company (Regent's Canal Railway.) Mr. Browne, the plaintiff's assistant, was called, and proved that he received instructions from Mr. Mills to survey the property which belonged to Dr. Fellowes. The survey occupied four days, after which plans were drawn, to point out the discrepancies in the plan fur nished by the company, and another for lotting the pro perty for building leases. The Learned SECONDAUY asked whether the defend ant gave the order on his own account. The witness said be g ave t h e i nstructions, and was present during the greater part of the survey. The jury consulted for some time, and said that 18). was charged for the survey, and 10/. 10s. more for the plans; they wished to know if that was a fair and rea sonable charge ? Mr. Browne said it was ; there was some trouble in attendance o❑ the company. The jury then gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. The other causes were withdrawn. ------ --- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Susannah Davis was indicted for stealing a gold watch the property of John Maule, from his person. The prosecutor said he was walking along Oxford street, when the prisoner came up and persisted in walk ing by his side for about a minute, when she turned and walked quickly away. He put his hand in his waistcoat pocket and missed his watch, when he followed her and found it in her left hand, and perceiving her drop some thing, he took it up and found it to be a pair of scissors of a peculiar construction, with which he supposed the guard chain must have been cut, as he never felt the slightest motion when the prisoner was by his side. The policeman produced the scissors, which were very sharp, and of a make adapted to cut a guard chain quickly without touching the side. The prisoner was found Guilty; and The ASSISTANT JUDGE sentenced her to nine months' imprisonment, telling her the next time she appeared at the bar he should certainly transport her, as this systematic kind of street robbery was becoming more prevalent every day. SURREY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. T. PUCKLE and a Bench of Magistrates.) Trinder, aged 18, and John Wood, aged 31, were found guilty of stealing, on the 28th of October last, sixty-three pounds of leaden pipes, the property of Edward Crockforil. Trinder was recommended to mercy, it appearing that he was lead into the commission of the offence by the other prisoner, who was an old offender, and had been convicted several times. Trinder was sentenced to twenty one days' solitary confinement, and Woods to seven years' transportation. The latter expressed a wish that the term had been ten years. ARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Jamey Campbell, a journeyman baker, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged: with assaulting his em ployer, Mr. James McKie, baker, 12, Newport-street, by breaking his head with a stick. It appeared that on the previous evening complainant had occasion to go into the bakehouse, when from some thing he saw he taxed the defendant with neglecting his work and robbing him of his time. The defendant, who felt rather hurt at this assertion, retorted that his conduct was not so bad as complainant's, whom be (defendant) asserted robbed his customers and his workmen. Complainant, who admitted being a man of hasty temper, was much annoyed at this, and after a few high words attempted to turn him out of the bakehouse. The defendant resisted, and said, " Oh, if that is what you want I will give it you." Ile then took up a thick stick and struck complainant several severe blows en the head, inflicting several wounds, from which the blood flowed in torrents. Complainant called out for assistance, and after a short time his wife came and tried to pull the defendant away from him; in her efforts to do so the defendant struck her in the face. Subsequently some of his neighbours came in and put the defendant out of the house and gave him in charge. Louisa Rickie, complainant's wife, said she was in the shop last evening, when she was alarmed at hearing her husband cry out for help. She went into the bake house, and saw the defendant strike her husband on the head with the trough stick. She tried to pull him away, when he turned round and struck her on the side of her head. She called in some of her neighbours, who got the defendant into the street and gave him into custody. The defendant, in answer to the charge, alleged that he had received great provocation. Complainant struck him first, and he retaliated. His wife came and inter fered, and accidentally received a blow on the head. Mr. HARDWICK committed him to the house of Correction for one month, with hard labour. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Robert Rounce and George Crane. guards in the em ployme❑t of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, were finally examined upon the charge of stealing meat from a van belonging to the company, and fully com mitted for trial. The particulars of jthis case have al ready appeared.

NORREYS moved for a return of the rates for the relief of the poor in Ireland struck since the 29th day of September, 1846 ' • showing in each un i on the amount in the p oun d of valuation which was levied on the electoral division which was rated highest, and the amount in the pound of valuation which was levied from the lowest rated electoral division, in respect of the same rate, with the name of each such electoral division ; and also showing the amount in the pound of valuation which would have given the sum required, had the rate been levied by an equal poundage on the entire union.—A greed to. PRESENTMENTS FOR WORKS (IRE LAND). Mr. G. HAMILTON moved for returns of the amount presented in each county and barony in Ire land, under the Acts 9 .Vic. c. 2, 9 and 10 Vic. c. 71, County Works Presentments (Ireland), and 9 and 10 Vic. c. 107, Poor Employment (Ireland), respectively ; of the amount sanctioned by the Trea sury to be expended in each county and barony in Ireland, under the same Acts respectively, on account of the sums so presented; and, of the amount ad vanced by the Treasury in each county and barony in Ireland, under the same Acts respectively, on ac count of the sums so sanctioned, with a statement of the unexpended balances in each.—Agreed to. ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIEF BILL. Mr. C. ANSTY moved the second reading of this Bill. His reason for bringing in the Bill was to be found in the preamble, which recited that, notwith standing the passing of former Acts for the relief of the Roman Catholic subjects of her Majesty, still a number of Acts were in force which it was necessary should be abrogated. His object was to benefit the Roman Catholics of Ireland, so far as was possible, without affecting the interests of other existing estab. lishments and institutions. The Hon. Member then went into a history of the various measures which had been passed from time to time on the subject of the relief of the Roman Catholics, and showed that none of them had given that full measure of liberty which the Roman Catholics were entitled to enjoy. The House had, by a majority, approved the prin ciple of th e p resen t Bill i n th e last session of Parlia ment, when a similar measure was introduced by Mr. Watson, the late Member for Kinsale, and it was only prevented from passing by opposition to some of the minor details of the Bill in the Committee. —H the ( t: a t e t o ; a a , p.p e r a e r s , en hear tß .) ill, lairmitphlereosppepcotrtutonitythe w. d o e u ta ld ils „ 1 , given ta t hefornowthecaldleisdeuuspsoionntheinHot u h e s e t C o d i n o m v prove the principle of the Bill.

With respect to the 31st of George 111., commonly called Mr. Burke's Act, he proposed to repeal so much of that Act as made it a condition precedent to any relief or benefit conferred by that Act, that the oath prescribed should be taken by the party desiring the benefit of the Act. He also proposed to repeat those parts of the Act of the 31st of George 111. which visited Catholic priests with severe punishment who officiated on the burial of the dead in private ceme teries and other places. Then, with respect to the 10th of George FY., commonly callcd the Roman Catholic Relief Act, the first clause of that Act, which the Bill he had introduced proposed to repeal, enacted that if any Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, or member of religious community, should, after the passing of the present Act, exercise any of the rights of the Roman Catholic religion in certain places, such ecclesiastic, if he should' be convicted in due course of law of doing so, should forfeit 501. He also proposed to repeal so much of the Act of 1829 as provided for the final abolition of Jesuits and other religious orders of the Church of Rome resident in the kingdom. These clausesaffected not only the Jesuits, but those devoted men the Christian Brothers, who, under it, were subject to transportation, and such being the case he though t he had made ou t a s t rong case to induce the House to adopt his Bill. On what ground his Bill could be objected to he was at a loss to discover. The law, as it at present stood, had nothing of antiquity to re commend it, but everything to call for its repeal. He proposed the repeal of enactments the injustice of which was admitted on all hands, and he trusted that the House would adopt the measure of which he now moved the second reading. He thought that every security the Protestants could require would exist after the passing of this Bill. If he thought the present Bill would take rights from one class and give them to another, he should be the last to bring it forward. He would oppose every meas ure that would take away from the dignity of either th e Protestant or th e R oman Catholic establishment, or deprive either of them of their efficiency. The non. Member concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. Sir R. INGLIS, while he admitted that the speech of the Hon. and L earne d M ember was a business like one, could no t agree w i th any of its conc l us i o ns- The object of th e L earne d G entleman was to i ncre ase the power and influence of the Ch urc h o f Rome, and to decrease that o f th e P rotestant Church .—(Hear') Blind the questi on as t h ey would, that was the object and the ma i n o bj ect of his Bill.—(clear.)lt was one of a series of aggressive measures by which the Church of Rome sought to raise it s elf in this country, and proportionately to lower the Pro testent Church.—(Hear, hear.) If he met the Hoe' and Learned Member on his own ground only." should be abl e t o show sufficient, he thought, to in duce the House to reject the measure.—(Hear, hear) He trusted nothing had occurred to induce the present House of Commons to alter the views which their predecessors took upon this subject. But the provisions of the Bill were really so absurd, so utterly at variance with the views of former Parliaments , that he was sure the House could not with any reason or justice pass the second reading of this Bill. —(Hear.) B u t h e d ou b ted whether this Bill did not affect the supremacy of the Crown whether it did not, in point of fact, indirectly repeal the Bill of Rights, and he, therfore, should be glad to have the opinion of the Attorney-General upon that point! He had already as k e d the question, indeed almost . immediately after the opening of Parliament, but he could get no answer from any member of her Majesty's Ministry. The question, however, a°, struck Mr. Watson at the moment, that he said, "If that he so, let us alter it le Committee," but for his own part, he said, l e t then rather throw ou t th e Bill altogether. The Catholics of this country had been treated as fellow-subjec t ! with Protestants, and since the year 1829 they had enjoyed m os t ex t ens i ve privileges. The House, how ever, befOre it extended these privileges by passing this Bill, would do well to pause, and 2 1 if its provisions w ou ld no t indirectly, 1 not directly, endanger the rights of the Crown and the safety of the Established Church. Pass the Bill, and they could not consistently refuse to extend its provisions to other sects than Roman Catholics, and this was an additional reason why they should pause before they agreed to the second reading. Then, with regard to the processions in the streets, which the Bill now before the House proposed to legalize, would they no t p rove d angerous to the Established Church, as well as derogatory to the good sense and religion of the country ? Even in Paris these processions were disallowed, and it would be the height of impudence to suffer them to be intro• duced into this country. Religious processions la this country never had, nor ever would be productive of good; and he hoped such ridiculous and desecrating ceremonies never would be tolerated by the people, let alone sanctioned by an Act of Parliament.—(Hear.) Under the existing law a Roman Catholic'clergyrnaa was liable to be transported for discharging certain functions connected with the Church of Rome, but this law was ne ver en f orce d , and he confessed be could not see upon what grounds the claim for this Bill could be founded. The Church of Rome had been suffered to create new dioceses, not only in the British colonies, but in the very heart of this country, and this Bill was nothing more than part of an eaten._ sive syst em f or ex t en di ng t h e power o f t h e Ch u rch 4 . Rome. The se new sees were crea t e d i n v i o lation of her Majesty's supremacy, and it was therefore neces sary, as these encroachments upon her rights were allowed to p ass unnot i ce d by th e Government, tha t the friends of the Church of England should bestir themselves to resist any further inroads upon the constitution.—(Hear, hear.) :4 (LEFT SPBALIN 4I .) y±:t.
