.ARLL IMENTARI INTELLIGENCE.

P.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, Masi!.
Mr. Marton. from the India House. presented the monthly ac-
counts of salaries, pensions, and gratuities, granted by the East
India Company.
CATHOLIC CLAIMS.
Lord KENYON presented a petition from the Inhabitants of the
Town of Knighton, in Radnorshire, against the Claims of the
Catholics.
The Duke of MONTROSE presented a petition of a similar
flatus.. from the Burghers of Glasgow, aigned by 1,200 persons.
Lord COLCHEn'f ER presented a petition to the same effect,
from the Borough of Colchester.
The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions of a similar
nature, from Ashton, near Birmingham. and from Dudley.
The Malloy of BATH and WELLS presented a petition to the
same effect. from the independent congregation of Protestant Dis-
senters of Ebenezer Chapel. in the parish of St. Mary, in the town
of Marlborough. The Right Reverend Prelate observed, that it
hail never fallen to his lot to present a petition with more sincere
pleasure thari on the present occasion. The petitioners expressed
theit gratitude to the Church of England for the toleration they
enjoyed ; and this expression was equally creditable to both parties,
as it allowed the opinions of the Dissenters towards the Church,
and also what the conduct of that Church towards them had been.
There were two points relative to the petition, on which he felt it
necessary to remark. The first was, that sonic female names were
signed to it ; and the other was. that several names *ere signed by
the same hand. When he noticed this circumstance, he inquired
the reason of it, anti he was informed that on such occasions it was
usual for the deacon to sign for all those who could rot write. He
would. however, only present the petition at the petition of those
by whom it was signed. He requested that it might be read, as it
was most properly and respectfully worded, and was highly deserv-
ing the attention of their Lordships.
The petition was then read.
Lord KING said, he had likewise to present a petition from a
body of Dissenters ; but it was of a nature very different to that
resented by the Right Reverend Prelate: The petition was front
the Unitarians of the town of Taunton—a respectable body, and
an honest body of Dissenters. lie could scarcely comprehend
the petition of the Right Reverend Prelate, because Its meaning
was involved in such a multiplicity of worth,. Such was not the
case with the petition he (Cord King) had presented. He was glad
the petitioners had expressed their sentirusnts as they had done,
because a retloubted Doctor of Dublin was firing off a double
ba.tery at the Catholics for believing too much, and at the Unita-
rians ter not believing enough.
The Bishop of BATH and WELLS said, he was glad that the
Noble Lord had no other objection to the petition tram Marlbo-
rough than that he did not understand it; but the Noble Lord
must be aware that petitioners were not obliged to select only such
epithets as might suit the comprehension of the Noble Lord.
Lord KING said that he had not complained of not understand-
ing the petition; he had complained that its sense was buried under
an enormous quantity of words.
The petitions were severally laid on the table.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he felt it necessary to
allude to a petition (the petition from Portland) which he had pre-
sented to their Lordships on the preceding evening, and to state
that the Gentleman (Mr. Bankes), whose name had been coupled
witla his in the observations of a Noble Earl (Grosvenor), knew
nothing of the petition farther then that it was regularly trans-
mitted to him.

tisans of Leicester, against any alteration of the Combination Laws.
Mr. BARING also presented s petition concerning those Laws.
The petition he ht Id in his hand he considered as of soma impoit-
ante ; it wits from the Ship.caulkers in the employ of M Mr/. Sue.
ling and Young, stating that they were perfectly satisfied with dleir
wages, but, in consequence of not belonging to the Thames Corpo-
ration of Caulkers, they were liable to continual insults from those
who combined against their masters. They therefore threw them-
selves on the protection of the House, and prayed that such mea-
sures might he adopted as would secure them the reward of their
own laboer, and prevent them from being put in actual fear of,
losing their lives by the malice of those who were discontented.
Referred to the Committee on the Bill.
Mr. lICME presented a petition from the Joint!" of Dublin
against the Combination Laws.—Referred to the Committee.
CATHOLIC FETITIoN!z.

of Commerce at Drogheda.
DUTIES ON OIL. _ .

Mr. W. OORDOIN presented a petition from the owners of
ships engaged in the whale fishery, praying that the duty on fo-
reign oil and rapeseed might be continued.
SI'KES supported the petition.
Mr. HUSKISSON thought that the system they had hitherto
pursued absurd in the extreme, and It was about to cease by the
removal of these duties. The duty on rapeseed was not Imposed
for the interests of the whale fishers, but as a boon to the agrieul-
tuial interest, which was at that time in great distress. lie did not
wish to distress those who had entered into the speculation, calcu.
lating on the continuance of the duties ; but he thought that by
postponing the removal of the duties till January, sufficient time
was granted.
Mr. HUMS perfectly agreed with most of what had fallen from
the lion. Member; but he thought it would be but justice to
postpone the removal of the duty till January or October twelve.
months.

... _
Mr. CURWEN did not see lefty the public should suffer for
the sake of those gentlemen who hail entered into these specu-
lations.

Mr. BRIGHT took this opportunity of asking the Right lion.
the President of the Board of Trude when the duty on olive oil
would be removed ? . .

Mr. 111TSKISSON said (as we understood) that it would be as
soon as possible after the passing of the Bill.
After a few words from Air. SYKES, Mr. Lewis, and Mr. GOR-
DON, the petition was laid on the table.
111 R. GOUR LAY.

Mr. S. WORTLEf presented iipetition from Mr. Gourlay,
praying that a Commission might be deputed to examine into his
tteatment.—lt was ordered to be printed.
LUNACY TRAVERSE BILL.
TIAI3III was read a second time, and committed for Mon-
day nest.
BANK OF ENGLAND.
,/ Mr. GRENFELL begged to put the lion. Gentleman opposite
)b him (31r. Manning) iu mind that he had last Session proposed
to call upon the Bank to show the amount of paper that they had
issued. -It was then opposed on the ground that although it had
been customary before opposed
to do so, yet that the House had no
longer the right to demand it, as cash payments had been resumed.
He wished now to make a similar motion, but wished to know
whether there would be any objection to the proper documents be-
Ing laid before the House?
-31 r. MANNINO. :we understood to say, had not, since the pe-
riod alluded to by the lion. !ember, had occasion to change his
opinion. Ile thought the (louse had just as much right to call
upon a privatelaoker to pr:aduce lila accounts to the !louse.

SCOTCIriTDDICATURE BILL.
On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE, the House re-
solved itself, pro forma, into $ Committee on the Scotch Judicature

Navigation Bill, from the merchants and others of Arbroath and
a simiLsr one from certain inhabitants of Aberdeen—Referred to
the Courroittee on the Bill.
ISLE OF MAN.
Mr. HERMES brought up the Report of the hie of Man Bill.
After a few words from Mr. Cu awt sr,
Mr. HUME inquired whether any agreement which might be
concluded between the Commissioners and the Duke of Athol was
to be reported to the House before it should be carried into direr.
Mr. (BERRIES said there were two inducements for making
the proposed repurchase from the Duke of Athol one was the
gloat inconvenience which resulted from his having an interest in
