ROUSE OF COMMONS, TUURSOAY, Juwz le.

in` the parliameeeney rent to be o:4linutd. Ilia chief ob-
jection was to the making Belfast the seat of academic learning.
The constitution of the establishment by no means met his appro-
bation. Aniungst other objectionable discern, it was not proper that
every person who gave a hundred vowels should be made a Di-
rector. Ile I Mr. Peel) had propmed certain ',aeons of high rank
in the county. to act us Visitors to the Inetitsition, whose etesertn.
tendence woad Ice 4 guarantee and security for the propriety of the
nictitation% of the Institution. In withholding his anent from the
motion, be would not say that at sonic future paint the vote might
tier he agreed to. In the appointmetit cf the Visitors, he disclaimed
the exercise of any personal patronage, but merely thought they
would be necereary, as mperintendents of the proceedings of the
estaislisliment. The subject should, in his opinion, he referred to
the Ceminissionen of Intistiry into led:nation ie Ireland; and It
should he for them to report on the pnetriety of a grant being made
to the Belfast Institution ; and if made at all, under what regula-
tions it should he restricted.
Air. S. NICE was satisfied with what had fallen from the Right'
Honourable Gentlemen. Ile had nn objection to leave this subject
open to the inquiry of the Commissittnees, for he was satisfied the
result of that inquiry would be highly creditable to the Inntiet.
tine. Under thew circumstances, therefore, he would for the pre-
arnt withdrew the motion, in the confident expectatiou of having
the object of it carried inns effect at a future period.
Mr. iIItOEGIEI3I remarked, that the tendency, if not the
deed mil object. of the appointment iit Visitors by Government,
would be to increase the patronage of the Crown and interfere with
the 11101111nilln of meritorious proems.
Mr. PEEL, after a few wands from Mr. A Or.RCUOMIIY,
claimed any intention an the part of Government in any manner
to interfere with the appointment of the Professers of the Insti-
tution.
Mr. (31K E presented a petition from It. Gourley, and others,
praying for the repeal of certain taste.
Mr. PORT3IAN presented a petition front Kidderminster,
ageinet slavery.
31 r. R. le )1.114)R N presented a petition from Thetford, against
the ..tinoval of the Assist to Norwich.
Mr. I:lie:NI:ELI. presented a petition from Falmouth and
Toney), in Cornwall, relative to the rase of missionary Smith.
I'M,' complained of the improper evidence whirl, bad been ad-
mitted on his trial, and of the general treatment he had met with.
He (Mr. firemen) was not a fanatic Of Methodist, and lie need not
add, he was not a " seine' (a laugh) ; yet be did think that the
treatment which Mr. Smith met with wall extremely harsh, oppress.
dye, and unjust. The colonists, in his opinion, particularly those
of Demerara, notwitheeneding the representations to the euntrary
which they bed made to the !louse, were, in his opinion, opposed
to the instruction of the Leech population, And with that imputa-
tion on his mind he %veld gladly give his support to the motion
which lii. llna. and !warned Friend (Mr. Brougham) proposed for
renewed discussion to. now evening.
Mr. Itt tiIERTSON offered a few observations in a low tone;
w unelerstseal hire to say, that if the negro:* were at all to be in-
seamiest. their instruction could be ellected only by the mis-
sionaries.
Sir 1. COFFIN would recommend the lion. Member for
Penryn to go to the West Indies, and he would not find the situa-
tion of the black population there so wretched as he had been led
to suppose. He s sir 1. Collie) hail seen many of them as fat,
sleek, end elle us the Hun. Member hinincle (loughter.)
Mr. %VAUD though.. that great cruelty was unnecessarily re-
sleeted to it the punishment of slaves. Cases had conic to his
knowledge, where a thousand lashes were inflicted as a com-
mutation of sentence. 'Fisk species of commutation amounted
plainly to the putting to death by slow torture. If he saw
the Honourable Secretary for the loloitial Department in his
place, he would put some questions to hint, which would call for
some explanation on those points, and which would also, he would
hope, call for en expression of opinion on the part of finvemment,
which would prevent the TeCIIITCOCC of such cruelties in future.
Mr. NNI Nfi declared that he had been there, and saw none
of the cruelties spoken of in that House. As far as lay with him,
he was always Moire:us of promoting the instruction of the negroes.
The petition was then

CATETIN.
hoed MILTON rose to present a etition, which had been en-
trusted fur presentation to his Noble Friend the Member for
Northampton, and in whose absence it had been given him to lay
before the House. Ile was desirous of calling the attention of the
House to this petition, as the prayer of it differed horn that of
other petitions 00 the same subject. Although lie did not concur
with one request of the petitioners, yet it was a practical Menta-
lism of the effects created by along continuance of misgovernment,
such as Ireland had been subject to. The part of the petition to
which he was unwilling to accede, was that which required that the
Orangemen should be disanned. To this he would not accede.
because it appeased to him but a retaliation, and a desire to indict
a deprivation on a part of the community similar to that which
had been inflicted on themselves when they were conquered. It
was not by such a mearnre, but by the obliteration, not only from
the statute honk, but from the minds of the people, of the hard.
ships and oppreaions which the Roman Catholics hail experienced,
that the peace of the country could be established. In the latter
part of the petition he entirely concurred, that the Orange.
men should he made amenable to the law. If they were not so
alicady, they should unquestionably be made so. The petitioners
termed to a document, addressed in the year 1794 to the county of
Arnsigh, which at that time produced a great impression.
Mr. %V. II'YNN presented a petition from VI rex, relative to
the case of Missionary Smith.
Sir N. Cetl.7'lll' HST presented a petition from Cork, against
the Warehousing Bill.
After a few words front Mr. Hv Tell I NIOW and Mr. G
who stated the complaints against the Bill to be general thivughout
Ireland.
Mr. HERR lES said, the Bill would be in regress through
the House in the course of the evening, and he wealthd then pen.
pose such alterations as would meet and remedy the objections
hitherto entertained against it.
Mr. If 1.31 E presented a petition from King's Lynn, against the
itnpreesinent of seamen.
ROMAN CATIIOI.ICS.
Mr. lII'TCIIINSON rose to present a petition from the Roman
Catholic" of the city and county of Cork. There were affixed to
it nine hundred respectable signatures, and if any Gentleman
might consider this number disproportionate to the number of
Roman Catholics in that part of Ireland, he could assure him that
if numerous sigttatures were thought necessary, nine thousand sig-
natures mule ae easily be procured as nis.e hundred. He was glad
to take this opportunity of exprening the anxiety and unanimous
sentiment that prevailed in Ireland as to the expediency and policy
of frequent appeals to Parliament. He was the more anxious to
state this. as at one period a different sentiment prevailed on that
point. The chains of the petitioners were just and reasonable.
lie rested the use of the petitioners on that broad principle of jus-
tice, that every man had a right to equal and impartial law. Ile
was desired by them to state, that though it was not without consi-
derable pain they had suffered so many dinappoinunents, they yet
felt it their duty to persevere in their exertions to obtain release
from their present state of bondage. He was convinced that the pe-
demesne' unfortunate and distracted country could never be seaweed
to peace and prosperity, till, by the intervention of Parliament, all
rhea.% of its inhabitants were placed on a footing of perfect polite.
cal equality. The petitioners had the fullest confidence that from
Parliament alone they could obtain the remedy they sought, and
in conclusion they entreated the immediate consideration of this
great question. As Parliament was about to be prorogued in a few
days, he knew that no measures could be taken with effect that Ses-
sion, but he should he glad to be informed by the House what
excuse he was to make to the petitioners, and to the expect.

had been arnembled so many months, and though their attention
during that period Intl been engaged by some subjects of minor
insportanee, nu regard hail been bestowed on this most important
titivation. lie simile' be glad to know how it had happened that
Ministers hail nut felt it their duty Indirect the attention of the la.
eisleture to this great. und, he. would call it, this imperial question.
Ile WOlllll he much obligee if the Right Honourable Secretary fin
Irelsoul would tell hi ii how he was to account to the Catholics
for this remise/sums of Govenntient and Parliament. The Catholics
professed an ardent uttnelmient to the person. family, and govern-
ment of the King. Ili. 3lajesty knew, front his own observation,
that their eevestion to lent was enthueinetie. They were filled with
a grateful recollection of his Majesty's conduct towards them, and
they meted on a thorough conviction of his partiality to Irishmen
and every thing connected with Intoned. Ile (31r. Hutcnin.
on) was satisfied that if 31inietere had the fineness and wis-
dom to give that isfi:eirl where to his Majesty which was
due, not to the Cathelics only but et the whole empire, the
success of the Catholic claims could not be long delayed.
%Phan the House found that the Catholics took an oath /II al-
legiance such as was MATT before required in any civilized coun-
try, and by which they abjured all the abominable principles

Lord A. HILL presented a petition frnin the Vice-Presidents
and others of the belles' Academic Institution, praying for an

Mr. HUME hoped there was an intention an the part of the

Mr. A BER1:1(4 Olin' did tune think any Ministers could have

came forward with the invitation. The institution was for the pur.
