MAIROITTS OF CAMPEN'S GliT TO TILE Pet/arc.--The
Farl of lava a Pone, rising to move the second reading of the
Bill which applies the interest the Marquis of Camden had as
Teller of the I?.xchequer, to the public service, felt it his duty to
°Wee a few obaervations to the House upon the important
sacrifices made by rite Noble Marquis. The Tellerahip
of the Exchequer was originally given by the crown, vier.
citing its prerohatire, us a reward for eminent services nrulered
by the Noble Marquis's /whet, in lois great judicial sttuttion.—
This created a vested interest. and it was anhout doubt a free-
hold interest wen the Noble Marquis gave it up to the public.—
The sum Suer i Sail in this way by tile Noble Marquis would not
be over-valaed at iOO.OO/. The Earl of Liverpool having done
ju.fice to the liberality of the Marquis Camden, paid a
timi-
Jar tribute to the late Marquis of Buckingham, who devoted not
less titan 40.0001. to the public service. The Noble Earl con-
cluded by moving the be read &second time.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN expressed his sense of the pro-
priety of the act, which he • aid would rai-,e the Noble Marquis
high in public estimation.—lt was a noble act, eminently useful,
a : tending to relieve the public burden, and also useful as proving
a 'disinterested feeling on the part or • public man. He concurred
in what had fallen from the Earl of Liverpool, with regard to
another Noble Marquis. There could be but one sentiment on
the subject throughout the country.
The Bill was read a second time.

i:oasst CATUULIC QUICSTION.-Earl ORZY raw, on the
order of the day, to propose t t e second reading of his Bill to
ahrogrite the tan declarations required by the Acts Cl the
23th and 30th of Charles the Second. lie 23tb (the Test
Act) is the condition to o:2ce—the 30111, the condition to
Seats in the llouse of Parliament. The Noble Earl ad-
verted to the admissions in that house on former debate.,
with respect to the strict al conduct of the Itoruan Ca-
tholics, their loyalty. and devotion to the interests of the
country. The only objection to their claims was in hileged
Isnot of securities. Their annoy; Idgement of the Pope's
supremacy was held to be subversive of the allegiance they
',toed to a Protestant K ; on that ground alone their claims
had beeu resisted, nod the Notee Earl addeil, that iu bring-

Thellishop of No Wrier! in seconding the motion raid, it was
well known to be his opinion, that a capacity to hold public
°Aloe. and to discharge public trusts. should be extended to all
whose principles were not iaconsistent with the social and moral
interests of die community. Five millions of n.en ought rot to

Thee hod the affirmations cf living men distinctly disclaiming
the evil Principles that bad been imputed to their faith. On the
general nopolity of our exclusive laws, one of which it was the
object of the Bill to remove, it would not become a clergyman to
dilate, after the able masrer in which it had been pointed out
on this and on former occasions. With respect to the religions
part of the question, he must soy, that he never heard the decla-
ration against transubstantiation made without a sentiment of
'cif-reproach. In compliance with law it was made and required.
in spite of the misgivings which it might ocnuion. The law, it
was said hai been long established, but injustice could derive no
defence from its antiquity. lie could not approve of making
the title is office depend upon principles and tenets which res-
pected only the abstract of owl's of religion. ‘Vhen precautions
kiainst the Catholics were no longer justified by necessity, it was
the duty of Parliament to repeal them.
The Atchbi,hop of CA N T ERBURY as a Protestant would not
quarrel with a Roman Catholic on the ground of his religious
principles; he might lament his errors, but he wac at the same time
disposed to reverence bin intestacy. But in this dangerous age of
experiments, when so many innovations head loin mods—when,
in a neighbouring country, morality. social tinier, and good go.

riment, throw away the blessing of a constitution which had
saved us from so many perils? Ile sus aware that individtudi,
