prioetple of the calculation formed no part of
resolution.
Mr. W. SMITH had not risen to throw gni• im.
pediment in the wily, fur he considered the sinking
food as moonshine, and this would be s relief.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, he could not hut expreta
his adonishment that any man should have ths
face (he meant nn disrespect to the Noble Niarquiti)
to stand up in that House and deny what was 4,

that this was a project in counteraction of the sink.

an actual taking from the sinking fund, becatua
though the sinking fund of five millions accumu•
latisig for us at compound interest for ten yeat„
was to go on in one quarter of our finance. i!,„
scheme was to go on accumulating against oirt.• he.
in another quarter, for as unfortunately the same
purse paid all, the result was the same, tlintLii
the operations were carried on in a different liar%
Now the reel state of the plan was this: You seli
one annuity for another ; you give en annuity
2,800,000/. for a floating annuity of fire Milhous
determinable upon the expiralion of lives. Now
the operation of the plan was this, that supprolux
things were to go on m they were at present, and
that no arrangement had been entered into, the
result would he the., that by taking off the bur6n
from the shoulders of the present generation, at the
end:of 45 years our posterity would have to imy
2.500,0001. more than if no new arrangement had rot
taken place. Now did he object to this ? Cinsioly
not. He should be quite as unressonehle m the
ble Lord himself if he did so, for he would be Tim.
ning counter to the opinion he had all smug express.
ed, namely, that we were not in • condition to reloth
posterity, and that present relief would be real

that two plans had been hrought forward by tke

ties in finance were certainly not exempt; and
although the stability of the G tvertiment sod
the finances of the couutry were at prevent all.
doubted, yet in sixteen years a great alteration
might take place, end of course the contractors,
whoever they might be, would look into tutus y,
and make us pay for all the risks and hazards to
which they were subjected. It appeared to bits
that by the new plan the principle of abandoning
the sinking funk was recognized, and that totes
must be reduced. And alien such subjects were
ender dioeussioa, he could not bat lament the very
thin attendance of Members in the House.—(Hear,
hear.)— But lie always observed, that in proportion
as the question was momentous, and really coo•
cerned the interests of the country, exactly in the
same ratio did Members fly from their seats sod
dessert their duty; and if he wished for a unman
that night, it was for the purpulte of shearing to the
people how their dearest interests were neglected by
their representativess—(Hear.)—But he called spell
the very few Members by whom he saw himself stn.
rounded. who, in spite of the importance of the ques-
tion, had not run away from their posts; he entreated
them not to allow their minds to be deluded by any
evolutiotis in figures which either the Noble Lord w
the Chancellor of the Eachepter might make, but
pele,•ive that this plan recognised the principle
that the Sinking Fund must be abandoned, sat
what was of much more importance, that the Gt.
verattnettt must at last Yield to the imperious de-
mand fur the reduction of taxes.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. WILSON thought the Him. sod Learned
Member had misconceived the plan, for he conic(
discover no connexion between it sod the sinking
fund. It did not id all entrench upon the sinking
fund. The contractors would now purchase the
annuities at the peace price, and probably in the
course of 16 yews there might be two or three
war., in which case the Government would have all
the advantage. On the whole he thought the pro-
pooed plan would ultimately be found benrfict.l to
the country.
Mr. RICARDO said, if the statement of the Hon.
Gentleman were correct, he few no reason why they
should not include the pay of the army in the pl.n.

Mr. Huns said. he considered the erlealsrioin of
the Honourable Member (11r. Wilson) qt• e run.
neon, in bupposing that all the advantage, wueld be
on the side of Government.

Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know if the Chan-
cellor if the Exchequer meant to extend the plan
to the wholedebt. He law no ►eason why the pen-
sion list should not be farmed out in the same rum.
ner. Indeed he thought tile friaries of all official
gentlemen might be embraced in the plan, fur they
appeared to be tolerably secure. All these etght
be included in this notable plan for granting rrhef
to the present generation ■t the expenne °four hap-
py posterity.

The Marqui• Or LONDONDERRY said. his Right
Hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
must feel obliged to the Honourable and Leortird
Gentleman fur the advice he had gordi him. Awl
the country must fed indebted to him for the lec-
ture he had read upon the conduct of l'aliameilt.
At the same lima he would put at to the Mono
whether coming down at pine o'clock after a rod
dinner was not rather vacillated to nt3 stilt lc'
subject and obstruct discussion, mote than to
it. And there could not be a richer example id
what lie had just stated, than the Honourable sod
Learned Gentleman had furnished in corning dive
to disturb the debate, and making jokes upon the
serious and important arguments of Its Hight Ho-
nourable Friend. And lie would beg to suggest to
the Learned Gentleman the adoption of les owe
precept, and come down a lice o'clock, and at-
tend to the debate, otherwise it would be Inner he
had been absent the entire evening.
Mr. BROUGHAM did not doubt the sincerity of
the Noble Lird's concluding admonttion. fur he
wee quite sure he would have preferred hie absence.

Mt. BROUGHAM wished to repeat hie question,
whether it was the intention of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer to extend tho plan to the entire
debt ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIQUIII replied,
that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had heard
hi. statement, lie wiled have fearued the reason
why he did not mean to extend it.
Inc resolution was then carried, without a divi-
sion.
S.mte others lieviert hero carried, that resolution
was read by which the Treeaury was to be enabled
to contract with any bodies politic for the execu-
tion of the plan—
Mr. Hume atutrod as en amendment, that the
" Commissioner, of the tuitional debt" be substi-
tuted for "any bodies polttic,"—that would save
the expenses of security, iasurance, and the profits
of the contractors.
The CHANCILLoiI of the EXCHEQUER observed,
that the Commissitiners of the national debt were
not excluded, but tie thought them the least ac-
ceptable.
After a short disenosion between Mr. Hume, Mr.
Meanly, Mr. WWI. Smith, sod the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, the amendment was negatived.—
The resolution was then carried.
Mr. BRIGHT thought that the best course now
to pursue would be to postpone the further consi-
deration of the subject. He should therefore move
that the Chairman do report progress, and get leave
to sit win. However, at the request of the House
he withdrew. his motion, and the retneiniug Reso-
lutions were agreed to. The (louse then resumed.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at ONE O'CLOCK, to

LONDON,
THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1844.

The CRANCELLOII of the EXCHIQUZIII proposed
hut night a series of Resolutions upon the subject
of the plan for paying the pensions, superannuation
allowances, and half-pay, by contract. There was
some discussion upon the principle of the measure,
and the Resolutions were finally adopted.

The smallness of the majority on Mr. CANNING'S
motion must be a subject of surprise and regret to
every person acquainted with the story of the time*
in which the disabling statute of CHARLES 11. was
enacted. Mr. CANNING'S measure is one not merely
of political expediency, but of justice and of retribu-
tion for the greatest injury that could have been
committed. The statute which prevents the Catholic
Peers from sitting in Parliament would never have
had existence but for the perjuries of Titus Oates
ind of Bedloe, and the eaactment•of it bears the•
same character of justice as did the arbitrary

sonment of the Lords Pow's, AiteweeL, I'RTCM,•
and BELLASPS, and the subsequent murder of the
venerable and noble STAFFORD. The Act was an.
Act of attainder against the Catholic Peers, who,
until that time, sat in Parliament by the privilege
of their birth, and it passed simply upon the evi-
dence of the convicted perjurers we have mentioned.
If it stood upou the precise footing, and bore what
might be called the technical form of an Act of
Attainder, could any one so far doubt the justice,
the sense of honour, and the probity of Parliarsect
in the present day, as to believe that such an Act
would not be reversed ? Yet it wants only the
form of an attainder, for virtually it posseases all
the characteristics of such a measure, and no mao
ought to rote for p ing it upon our statute book
who is not prepared at the same moment to attest
Isis belief in the evidence of Oates and Bedloe,
and conscientiously to believe as a Christian, or as
a man of ordinary understanding, that Lord STAF-
FORD was guilty. The very mob who surrounded
the scaffold where this venerable and innocent
Nobleman was to be made the victim of a terrific
delusion, protested against his murder. la the
very midst of the panic that seemed to have un-
seated the reasoning powers of the whole empire,
the affecting declarations which STAFFORD made
of his innocence excited the sympathy of the
pulace, and it perhaps afforded some consolation
to the noble sufferer in his last moments to hear
the rabble exclaim, " We beliere you, my Lord !
we believe you to he innocent! God bless you !"
We should desire no community of feelings with
the heart that would experience no pang of indig-
nation end sorrow on reading the story of Lo►d
STAFFORD'S sufferings; it is a dark and shameful

passage in our history, which one would wish to
have expwriged for ever. The other Lords who
were with him committed to the Tower were never
prosecuted ; no stain, pot even of suspicion, rests
upon their characters, and the very silence of their
enemies proves the injustice of their sufferings.—
' Why then was the disabling statute which affected
them exclusively not instantly repealed ? The pu-
nishment unjustly inflicted upon an erroneous sus-
picion ought not to have been suffered to fling re-
prosch up in the national justice. When STAR..
FORD'S attainder wms reversed, the disabling statute
ought also to have been repealed, and the present
times will share the reproach that properly belongs
to the Parliament of 1678, unless this opportunity
be taken of doing effectual though tardy justice
to some of the noblest families in the Peerage of
England.
We trust that considerations of this nature will 1,
eurcise some influence even upon those who op-
posed Mr. Cmisittsc's motion on Tuesday night.
Every one who would have been ashamed to hate
been the dupe of Oates, or the accomplice of
Bedlse, must, if he renews his recollection of
'that period of history, vote in favour of the pre-

- Pe' rt If tiof ra• .

sent attastire. The ifijitiegi of the nutjartfi
net excite any apprehensions in oar 'minds respect-
ing the probable result. We knew of at least two
members who had expressed their intention of
voting for the snotioo, who chanced eafortenately
to be shot out from the division; and we must also
recollect that Mr. PL.UNKSTT'S motion in the last
Session for the'appointment of a Committee, Which
was followed by au brilliant a result, was carried by
• majority of only sir. An expectation is gene-
rally entertained that if the Hill should pass the
Commons it will be carried triumphantly through
the Lords. The measure indeed might be entitled
an Act to restore the privileges of the House of
Lords, which had been unjustly invaded ; for there
is no privilege of inure value to their Lordship., or
.which indeed ought to be field more sacred as a
principle of the Constitution. than the indefeasitsle
right of every Peer to sit and vote in Parliament.
unless it. be forfeited by the legal conviction of
such crime as brings attainder with it. The
Peers owe it to their nobility of birth, tp the
dignity of their House, and to the integrity of their
individual characters, to' throw open tbeifilbh for
the readmission of their noble brothers. They who
are truly noble among them will rejoice to see the
ElOvisltl3ll, the CLIFFORDS, and the TA LOOTS re-
stored to their proper sphere, and enabled to assist...
as becomes their rank and property, in the councils
of the empire. Mr. CANNINU exposed with great
felicity the inconsistency that prevails at this mo-
ment in the law, as they relate to the rights of the
Roman Catholic Peers. These Noblemen are prohi-
bited from entering the House of Lords, and'from
mingling their few votes with the numerous body
of the other Peers, bat there is nothing to pre-
vent them from going in right of their peenige
to the Adore of their Sovereign, and de-
mending access to his person for the purpose
of advising him as hereditary counsellors of
the Crown upon any matter of public policy.
One of the most active promoters of the disabling
statute declared in the House of Peers, nod in the
very presence of JAMES Duke of York, that so 41-i
prehensive was he of the malign influence of • Pa..
pint, " be would not stiffer a Popish manor Popish
woman, nay, even • Popish dog or a Popish cat,
to come into the presence of the King." Without
discussing the propriety of submitting these last.
mentioned objects of terror to any particular test,
we shall only observe, that as Roman Catholic
Peers may now be admitted to the Royal presence,
with power to oiler their alarming advice to the
Sovereign himself, a lie greater breach has been
made in the protecting principle of exclusion than
is now contemplated by admitting a few Ramon
Catholic. Peers to share the legislative honours of
their ancestors.

The objections made by Mr. PeaL to the Mo-
tion were not remarkable for their force or vigour.
They referred to ►upposed inconsistencies in the
advocates of the measure, and to imaginary incon-
venieucies, which hod no reference to the spirit of
the proposition. The arguments of the Right
Honourable Gentleman would not hove had the
smallest ground for existence had the Bill been
framed for admitting the Duke of NORFOLK or
the Earl of SHREWSBURY, or Lord CLIFFORD, or
soy other Roman Catholic Peer by snow, to sit
'and vote in the House of Peers, without ssibacrib-
jog a particular form of oath. 11 was some.
what strange to hear Mr. PEEL complaining
of the measure now proposed, because it seemed
in his new of it likely to injure the general ques-
tion of Catholic admissibility, and also on the
ground of its not being calculated to afford any
benefit to the great body of the Roman Catholics.
These objections unques►ionably ought not to he
in the mouth of the Right Hon. Gentleman as ar-
guments against the Bill. If it should affect the
main question injuriously he cannot feel displeasure
at the circumstance; sad with respect to its in.
fluesice on the gsfat body of the Catholics, it must
be recollected that the measure is avowedly single
in its mature, and is confined exclusively to the case
of the noble persons who were made the principal
sufferers by an act of unjustifiable severity.
A Committee was appointed la►t night its the
House of Commons to prepare a Bill, in pursuance
of the vote of the Hesse on the former night.
