IMPERIAL PARLiAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, irtaRVART 13.

Their Lordships met at a quarter of au hour before four
o'clock.

NEW CHURCHES.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a Report
of the Commissioners appointed under the Act of Perlis-
shout for building new Churehes.—Ordered to be printed.
LONGITUDE.
Oa the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, - the
Longitude Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
referred to a Committee of the *bull. Howie tudoorrow.--
Adjourned.

with all the other sentiments which the Petition
contained. The other Member for the same city
bad stated equally sound and very satisfactory rem- I
sons for declining to premed this Petition.
Mr. C. W. Siternoae void, that he believed that
Reform was less thought of in Lincoln than almost
any other !duce. He dreaded it himrelf, as lie did
any proposal of innovation on the admit' and tonsil•
tutional basis of our polity.
Mr. R. SMITH, as u lawyer, pronounced his
decided conviction of the illegulity of erasing her
Majesty's name Coin the Liturgy. As to Reform,
he airways had, and should still approach that ques-
tion with more of appreliens:cm than of hope. He
disapproved of the union of the two topics in the
Petition ; end nothing could sheer the mischievous
tendency, as well as the illegal character of the
find measure, more than the ciicurnstance of its
having led many persons into an inquiry respecting,
and a liking for, Parliamentary Reform. Ile would
vouch, notwithstanding, that hundreds who had put
their names to the Petition felt a deep regard for
royalty. and regretted that the honour of it should
hare been so her compromised by the proceedings
of all kinds in the case of her Majesty. This was
a feeling which a wise Government would take
care to cherish. He was sorry to see the votes of
that Hoare Set up by the Government against (is
he considered the continuance of the omission in the
Liturgy) the law and the general feeling of the
people.
Sir R. HERON presented • Petition of similar
impost to the last, from Hothead). He recom-
mended one prayer of it, for economy and retrench-
ment, to the House. Thinking as he did, that
the interest of the national debt could not much
longer be paid in full, he regretted that Ministets
could not be iii•luced to take any steps calculated
to support the country through its difficulties on
that approaching crisis. To talk of national faith,
and doing justice to the public creditor, sounded
poorly from the lips of those who had tint on any
occasion lent their aid to restrain the extravagaime
of Administration. He professed himself to be a
friend to reform, nor should his efforts be ever
wanting to achieve it.
Mr. PELHAM supported the Petition.
NAPLES.
Sir R. %Visitor.; wished to know from the Noble
Lord, if Government were in possession of any of-
ficial accounts of the commencement of hostilities
on the part of the Allies against Naples
Lord CA ST LBABASHII made some reply, which
was scarcely audible in the gallery. We under-
stood his Lordship to defer his answer, and refer
the Hon. Member to the explanations which were
likely to be given in the Upper House, on Earl
Grey's motion for Monday; by the discussion on
which motion, all the information in the posses.
*ion of Government on the subject would be im-
mediately promulgated.
Sir JAMES Macctrrosit, in consequence of that
intimatioo, obtained leave to postpone a motion of
his, ressatected with those most aggressive and
tyrannous operations against Noptra, which stood
fur Thursday next, until to-morrow oe'nnight.
Sir R. WILSON presented a Petition from the
Meciumics of the various branches of the Building
Trade in London and Southwark, praying for the
restoration of her Majesty's right., sad the rein.
sertion of her came in the Liturgy.
The Petition was enrolled. and the length of it
being apparently more than that of the House,
afforded some mirth.
Dr. LLISHINGTON presented a similar Petition
from ten Clergymen of the Church of England.
The Petitioners stated their apprehension that the
ecclesiastical power of the Crown had been so
limited by the Act of Uniformity, that the erasure
or alteration of a word in the church services
most be illegal. He fully concurred with the Pe-
titioners. He dreaded the admission of any right
to alter the form of prayer on account of the
evils which might arise front it in rutty,. There
was no danger under • religious Sovereign like the
late lornented King, nor under that of his present
Majesty. But who could tell that. as James 11.
bad thrown the kingdom into confusion by endea-
vouring to re-establish Popery, some futere King,
in his latter days. after • youth spent in riot and de-
bauchery, might not be induced by the advocates
of canting and inethodistical doctrioes, which were
in his (Dr. Lurhingvon's) mind worse and by far
inure dangerous than the doctrines of Popery, to
attempt some dangesous innovations on the form of
Common Prayer, and the general state of the et..
clesiastical policy ? This was a possible case, and
one fit tor the contemplation of the Legislature.
The Petitioners stated what was now generally
known to he true, that many of their congre-
gation had ceased to go to church, because of the
omission of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy.
According to the 55th canon they were compelled
to pray for the King and Queen by mime; and it
was a most extraordinary thing, that while this
cation existed they should be prohibited to adhere
to it, by having the name of the Queen struck out
of the Liturgy by the Order in Council. It was
a most unfortunate circumstance. and created the
utmost possible confusion in the divine service, and
excited disgust all through the country.
Mr. Locen•a, supported the Petition. He
thought the exclusion of the Queen's name was
contrary to the soundest policy and good sense.
When he heaid the law of the case so ably di..
cussed as it had been, it struck him with some
surprise that there could be such • misunderstand.
lug on the subject, when it depended on the plain
construction of an Act of Parliament. It was met
by his Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor-General
by subtlety amid sophism. owl reference to prece-
dents, which did not at all apply to the case. He
thought that statute was not discretionary but man-
datory. It was his opinion that the twelve Judges
should be consulted on it, but lie hoped that the
decision of the House to-night would render that
unuectssary.
Mr. H MORD addressed the House iu combo-
ratios of the statement that had been made. He
