FRIDAY. !FLY S.

Mr. Quarme, the leonlienE:iiierof the Black Rod, sum-
moned the House to attend in the House of Lords to hear the
r int! assent given by commission to sundry public and private
Lords report.)
Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from inhabitants
is the parishes of Hornsey and Finchley against the Ilighgate
Chapel Bill. If the bill were pressed he should resist it,
And divide the House on it.
Mr. BROUGHAM trusted that the bill would not he pressed
forward now. The foundation lead ample means; it uas aini
richly endowed than the school at liarruw. The bill was really
of • pnblin nature.
.Mr. BING said; when his turn came he should move the
second reading of the bill.—Petitiou read.
Mr. CALVERT presented a similar petition from Holloway
and Kentish Town.
Mr. BYNG soon afterwards moved the second reading of the
Highgate Chapel Bill.
Mr. HUME was su;prised that this motion was made. As it
was pressed, he should move, as ate amendment, that the bill
be read a snood time this day six months. The fonds were
fell to maintain a grammar school, and to divert them to the
building of a chapel was a misappropria►ion. Besides, there
was a suit pending in the Court of Chancery on the subject;
that ought first to be decided. The rental was between T cid
WI. a year. He depended on the justice of the House not
to interfere with the course of justice. He concluded with
mosiug an amendment, that the bill be read a recond time this
day six mouths.
Mr. Alderman WOOD also opposed the bill. This bill was
brought in • second time, which was contrary to the general
practice of ►he House; and in favour of it they had not yet
heard one word. He wished the bill to be postponed till uext
session. A clergyman might be maintained—but at present
the sexton and grave digger were the only teachers of the
boys.
Sir J. GRAHAM declared that this hill was not to take away
the juristFetion of the Court of Chancery; and in that be said
the truth, which had not yet been spoken on this subject. He
was snakier' for religions instruction, therefore he supported
this bill ; be had read the Bishop of Lotedou's letter. The
chapel had lung been maintained. It was in proof that the
clergyman had married in the chapel, and done every act in it
calculated to case the mother church.
Sir R. WILSON wished to know, if certain persons al
Highgate were anxious to build a rhapel by their subscriptions,
why they desired to seize on the charitable funds?
A derman HEYGATE said, the object of the (mender was
to establish a grammar school ; and as fur as he wide-tamed the
hell, it was diametrically opposed to what lee deemed to have
been the intention of the founder.
Mr. BROUGHAM opposed the hill. He always looked with
suspicion at both Houses interfering with private properly ;
if all the mystery of ',finite hills wee unfolded, arch • scene
would he opened as would frighten both Houses and disgust
the country.-- Hear ! )
The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, thinking
Chet the House was not the proper place in which to decide the
question involved in the bill.
Mr. BYNG supported the bill.
M.. W ;THREAD said be could ant support the bill. It
yeas n,tainat hiss ltriee, and that of his hon. colleague, dist ;he bill
mss brought for ward in the present cession.—(llear.)
