PATTEW:ON'S ICE PAIL,

OIIN PAff EllSoN,inrii;iiiWgTionmonger, No.
• 41, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, has invented an ICE
PAIL on a new and philosophical principle ; by means of which,
Wines, Cream, Butter, Fruit, and other Substances, fluid or
solid, may be cooled and kept cooled, with a degree of efficacy
and precision hitherto unknown. To prove this it may be sufficient
to state, that if spring-water be placed in these pails at the com-
mon temperature of 52 degrees, it will retain that temperature for
many hours, although surrounded by an atmosphere 30 degrees
higher ; and if the water be cooled down, as it easily and qutrkly
may be, by Ice, or by a substit4te for Ice, which may be had with
the pail, to any given point, the same uniformity may be main•
tamed, as to the lowered temperature, for a great length of time.
In this way, Winer., and other materials may be brought to any
state of coolness desired, and kept ready for use, in that state,
ddring the greater part of the day ; or during the whole of an
afternoon or evening—an accommodation of serious and obvious
importance, not only in well-regulated domestic economy, but as
regards the arrangements of Hotels, Taverns, Club !louses,
('offee Houses, and other public establishments.
PATTERSON'S ICE PAILS are manufactured in handsome
and simple forms ; of various sizes, and at moderate prices.
They may be seen, in constant operation, at hts house, N 0.41,
on the east side of New Bridge-street ; the second house from
Ludgate. hill.
Ice Buckets, by which Ice can be preserved for several days,
may also be had ; and Cream Freezers, by which Ice-cream can be
made with or without the aid of Ice in any climate.

(-1001(.8 PATENT LIFE PRESERVER for CAR-
RIAGES may now be viewed at the Manufactory, No. 127,
Long-acre. Its object is to stop horses when running away with
the vehicle to which it may to attached. The contrivance is so
extremely simple, that a lady or a child may, with the greatest fz..
cility, apply its force against the-power of the horses, thereby gta.
dually and irresistibly arresting their progress, until the strain is
off the traces ; when it will of itself cease to am, further than by re.
taming them in their then position, until the driver thinks fit to
release them, which he can do in an instant, without quitting his
seat. Should the coachman require to leave the box, this inven-
tion will enable him readily, and mast effectually, to prevent the
possibility of the horses starting off in his ahsence ; or should he
be thrown from his seat, or fall of in a fit, or from any other cause,
a lady in her carriage has the power of stopping a pair, or tour
horses, with ease and with certainty.
The above are only some of the advantages connected With this
patent ; but when it is considered how frequently accidents of the
most distressing nature occur. from the running away of horses (to
which all who travel are liable), it is presumed that enough has
been stated to show, that of the numerous contrivances extant for
rendering travelling in carriages comparatively safe, few can justly
lay claim to so high a degree of public patronage. as the bite Pre.
server ; which is neither cumbersome nor unsightly. but rather
ornamental. Four horses can be pulled in as easily as one; as they
are literally stopped by their own power.
A chariot and a stanhope completely fitted. are now at the 111131111.
factory, a bare inspection of which will as effectually demonstrate
the truth of the above statement, as if a trial were to be made with
a pair or four horsea.
N.B.—Any kind of carriage can be fitted with this Patent on
being sent to the manufactory, where letters, requiring further in-
formation on the subject, tnay be left for the Patentee, Lieutenant
Thomas Cook, R.N.

ROMAN CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.
Lord KING said that he had *s petition to preitent from the
Room Catholics of Ireland. complaiiiing of abases in the ('n n.
rAtions of that country. The pedtioo did not conic:ham thee*.
tholie •AstiocCation"intici, had bean murdered duringtitelp SO-
' aiai hot emanated from ma Theo of ebbe—
Asnocissism, and that ghost woidd bs more terrific in its bodiless
shape than it ever had hero when in existence, and he (teed King)
did not believe that that ghost could beconpiered by the whole
Bench of Bishops, even though assisted by the Nelde and Learned
Lord on the woolsack. The pefeionen complained of then eitchtsiort
from the rights and privileges enjoyed by their Pmteatant neigh-
bours in corporate towns in Ireland, and of the abuse% which were
practised in the administration of the laws by rich Corpnrations.
Their Lordships would, by reference to pipes on the table, per-
ceive that the complaints of the petitioners were well founded. It
appeared by evidence given before their Lordships. that the Provost
of Tralee had been in the habit of taking ten guineas for mimic.
ting bail in cases of felony,. and that his fee was five guineas in
minor case,. If a Catholic proceeded by criminal infiwinaticro to
recover his rights, and was succeesful in establishing the justice of
uir complaint, the corporators.weuld still retain their privileges.
His Lordship had preseated a petition last year from a person who
ha I an undoubted right to be admitted a member of an Irish COT.
potation, but for being a Catholic he was excluded. Thete woo
row before their 4,ord-ships a Bill, which was intended to alter
the practice with respect to the writ of mandamus in Ireland.
That Bill would partly remedy the evil ; but even after the passing
of that Bill, the Catholics could not bncome Mayors, Sheriffs, or
other officers of corporate towns In Ireland. They were always
subject to the petty and scurrilous insolence of rancorous bigotry.
His Lordship hoped that if Parliament should not disfranchise
those Corporations, it would, at least, correct the abuses of which
the petitioners complained.
The Earl of LIMERICK did not wish to give any opposition
to the prayer of the petitioners, but he wished to set the Noble
I.ord right as to the fact of Catholics being admitted into corpora.
tions in Ireland. He knew one Roman Catholic gentleman in the
city of Limerick, who was a magistrate in the corporation of that
city.
Lord KING said the case alluded to by the Noble Earl might
be an exception, but lie believed he was correct in saying, that the
Catholics of Ireland were excluded the exercise of any privtieges
in the corporate towns of that country.
The Earl of LIM ERICKoIid not state the fact alluded to for
the purpose of contradicting the statements of the Noble Lord ;
and in adverting to it, his Lordship thought it tight to say, that in
that instance Mr. Wm. Roche, of Limerick, was appointed a ma.
gistrate of the corporation of Limerick, not by that corporation, but
by the Irish Government.
The Earl of DARNLEY rose merely for the purpose of bearing
his testimony to_ the correctness of the Noble Lord's (King/ state-
ment, that Roman Catholics were excluded from holding offices in
corporate towns in Ireland, and such exclusion could not but be
considered a great hardship.
Lord CLIFDEN said that the corporation of Dublin was •
strong instance of the hardships endured by the Catholics. They
were also excluded from the Bank of Ireland, although they were
' eligible. His Lordship said it would be impossible to crush the
ghost of the Catholic Association by any means but these of con-
ciliation. The voice of millions would always be raised against the
cruelty and injustice of the penal code, and it should be recollected
that the demands of the Roman Catholics were backed by a large
portion of the Protestants of Ireland. In Leinster and in Con-
paught, the majority of the Protestants were favourable to the RIN.
iman Catholic claims; but be admitted that some hostility MIR es-
lamas-among the Grangethen of Ulster. His Lesdahip believed
that even of the ouiveity of 48 wbo voted against Mb Cathollea last
Session, one half were in doubt which way to vote. His Lordship
hoped the House would not wait for a season M danger, bat meet
the Catholics with conciliation and concession. They might as
well try to stop the course of the sun as to prevent the Catholics
from obtaining their just rights.
Adjourned at six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, APRIL 21.
POTTERIES REGULATION BILL.

A petition was presented by Mr. 11UNDAY, we believe, from
Ashover. and another district in Derby, against the Potteries Bill.
111 r. Alderman THOMPSON presented two petitions to the
same effect : one from the farmers and manufacturers of Steroid.
shire, and the other from the retail dealers of the same aenrcy.
The petitioners deprecated any legislative interference, by which
they declared that they should lose much : any differences that
might arise between the operative and the master manufacturers
might be adjusted by the existing law, without any new enact-
:m:4a.

After an observation from Mr. LITTLETON, which did not
reach us,

Mr. CI 11:T WYNDE intimated that he had a similar petidoss
to present from the same county.
Mr. 1.1171.1.:TON said that he had before presented petitions
In favour of the Bill from five towns in Stafßodrarire. and what he
had then asserted with respect to the popularity of the measure. he
would now repeat. He knew that the very persons whose names
were affixed to the petition were, in their hearts, disposed to favour
the Bill. Ile had that morning received a lelleir from Stafford.
shire, in which it was stated that the work nen were absolutely
obliged to sign the petition against their will ; such was the state
of commerce, that they were obliged to conform, and thee
signatures were imperiously required. He (Mr. Littleton) never
knew a measure which was so unanimously approved by those
whom it went to affect.

Alr. CHLTWI NDE said that the petl:ion which was sent to
him was signed by the most respectable persons in the county.
Air. LITTLETON. The petition which niy Bon. Fiend has
received is not signed by the men, but by their masters.
The petitions were ordered to lie on the table.
A similar petition was presented from the potters in llubbn by
Sir R. SHAW'.
On the motion of Mr. LITTLETON, the Bill was ordered to
be read a second time `. this day three months."

LICENSED VICTUALLERS.
•
Mri
HOBHOUhE presented a petition from the licensed sic-
mailers of the parish of lat. James's, Westminster, complaining of
the grievances undet which they laboured from the present state of
the law respecting licenses. They were punishable if they let
their houses open at unseasonable hours, but it was left to the d•s-
eretion of the Magistrates to fix witat hours were unseasonable.
H alf.past eleven was the time limited in the parish of St. James'. ;
and they stated that it was impossible to clear their psrloor at that
hour, if they gave admittance to respectable tradesmen. The pati.
tioners did not object to the placing the tap-room under such re-
strictions, but they thought it impossible to clear the parlour and
coffee.room at that hour ; but while those respectable persons were
obliged to close their houses, places called oyster shops and saloons
were allowed to remain open all night. The petitioners complained
that they lost 101. or 151. per week by such regulations. They
were a respectable body of men, anal merited the attention of the
}louse.. They subscribed a lave capital for the education of up-
wards of 300 children, and did not iu the present application roust
any reasonable restrictions.
Mr. E. WODEHOUSE said a few words, which did not
reach us. _ _

ESTCOI;RT said that he thought his Honourable Friend
had been aware that, although Dome restrictions had been thought
advisable in the new Bill for licensing alehouses, yet none had been
definitively settled. That Bill also contained a clause in term, of
travellers: so that even in its present shape it was not so objection.
able as was imagined. Yet he acknowlsked that it was very im-
perfect ; it was rendered difficult by the attempt to consolidate the
laws relating to alehouses, in which course he hod humbly followed
the Right Honourable Secretary for the Dome Deparunent. He
apprehended the beet plan to pursue would be to postpone the a;ea.
sure for one year; in the meantime the attention of the cclenfrl
would be called to the subject, and he might acquite mach in-
formation, so as to be able to produce the measure in a manner
form during the next Ses.ion.
dlr. 310'NeK recommended that licenses should Inv granted foe
one year. independent of the power of the Magistrates ; and that
the publicans should, at the expiration of that period, have an
opportunity of defending themselves from any charges of
mis-
conduct.

The petition was then read. It prayed. lot, for the extension of
the lawful hours beyond the time at present allowed , 2d. for art
opportunity of defending themselves from the allegations of In-
formers; and 3d, that the restrictions imposed on them shoald be
extended to other places of resort, not kept by licensed victuallers.
Mr. HOBIIOIYSE observed, that he regretted, for the sale of
the petitioners, that the Flop. Member (Mr. Betiourt) did not
mean to bring berwarii his Bill. The prayer of the petition
was most reasmiairie 4,4 moderate. The amusements of the higher
classes did not earn:me:A.l is general till late at night; thertiost
