I►BW CHURCHES,

The Earl of LIVORICOL,in Inovingihe second reading of
the New Churches Building Bill, stated, that he thought it neces-
sary to say only a few words no the subject. Their Lordships were
aware, by the reports that bad been made, what had been acitini.
'dished by the former grant for the building of churches. The
wants of the country in this respect were still so great that an addi.
than to the number was necessary, in those parishes particularly
where there was not room for more than one fourth of the popula.
tion of them to attend divine service in the existing churches. Ile
proposed a further gaunt of 500.8001. upon the same footing, and
under the same regulations, is the last, with liberty to those per.
sons who subscribed two thirds towards the building of any churviies
to have the appointment of the clesgyman under the sanction of the
diocesan.

Lord KING observed, that if a good imeoebee were to be ',-
pointed to every new church, there would be
.plenty of churches
built by individuals; but the clergy had the pnnetpal management
in the appointment of ministers to these churches, and every one
was anmuus to have a worse preacher selected than himself. This
sum would go towards the general relief of taxation if it were not
so applied.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted to-morrow.

The Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill au read a third time and
passed.
EQUITABLE LOAN BILL.
The Earl of ROb.sb'VN presented a petition from the Inhabitants
of hellion-hill, and its neighbourhood, to favour of the Equitable
Loan Bill.

Lord SUFI' ELI) presented a similar petition front the tailors of
ondoo and Westminster, which occupied ten yards and a quarter
parchment. (A 1aup43.1
The petitions were both laid oo the table.

CORPORATION AND TEST ACTS.
Lord HOLLAND said, that he livid in his hand a petition, the
Iportanc.e of the prayer of 'bite, and the respectability of the
eutioners, demanded their Lordships serious consideration. He
should consider it the pride of his life, either by preen dng the
petition, or founding a motion upon it, to forward the object of the
petitioners, which was for the repeal of the Test and oCrpoation
Arts, from the three denominations of Protestants. The petition
was read by the Clerk, and laid on the table.

The EartiVitlittN objected to legislation in these matters :
no one mad eat his horse's tail off or mark his cattle, without
' being taliinned to the enactments of this Bill. He took blame to
himself lee not luring resisted the Bill introduced two years ago on
this subject, which this measure was intended to amend. He
moved that it be read a second time that day three months.
Lord SUFFIELD should think the Bill a dangerous one, if the
acts of cruelty it went so check were not to be decided by a jury ; as
it was he approved of it.
The amendment was then agreed to, and the Bill of course
thrown out for this Session.
The other Bills before the House were forwarded in their Teepee-
:

seniers in the metropolis and vicinity, signed by. sat ten than.

the petitioners were of almost all creeds, many of them a
with the Church of England, and many differing from it its sari
wide degree, but they were all agreed on one point—the lesempleintaf
the present petition. There is a great difference between and
the Roman Catholic', the one acknowledging a superior ponce of
control over them, while the other acknowledge no such thing. He
would prefer treating the petition on broad grounds ; but the two
people differed so materially, that it would not be necessary 0
listen to the oar, though the other were attendtd to. It was not his
intention at preseut to found any motion op the petition he had to
present.
Me. ROBERTSON complained that, in the House, the Dis-
senters, whatever side they took, carried a considerable weight with
them. He should oppose making then, any conceraions.
Mr. SMITH said, that the Honourable Gentleman bad mia-
taken the fart.
The petition was laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
