Parliament to be as careful of the -interes of the
Church Establishment as the Catho (-that,
moreover, the object of the Catholic oath was pledge
Catholic legislators to deal with the interests of the
Church precisely as if they were Protestants. While,-
therefore, the Catholics in Parliament confine them-
selves to the support of measures brought forward
by a Protestant Cabinet, under the sanction of a Pro-
testant SOVEREIGN, and approved of by the voice of a
majority of the people of England for the reform of
the Church, they will be merely doing their duty to
their constituents, to themselves, and to their country.
Not to vote at all on Church questions would not be
doing their duty, inasmuch as their oath binds them to
act as if they were themselves in communion with the
Church of England as by law established. But
strongly as we repudiate the conduct of the Tories in
the House of Peers, we are by no means of opinion
that it will injure the liberal cause. On the contrary,
it will put the country on its guard—it will convince
rational men that, were the Tories to regain office,
they would do all in their power to kindle the flames
of civil war in Ireland.

The following is the letter read by Lord MUL-
GRAVE, in the course of his speech in the House of
Lords on Monday evening, by which it will be seen
that the measure, which it was reported it is intended
to be carried into effect on the property of Lord BAN-
DON in the county of Cork, has been actually executed
on the property of another landlord, in the county of
Wexford :

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1837.

In the House of Lords veterday, after certain returns had
leen ordered, the Duke of NEWCASTLE got up and presented
a petition, the most extraordinary and extravagantly absurd
perhaps that has ever encumbered the talA of their Lord-
ships' House. The prayer of this precious petition, which, it
seems, was concocted at a meeting in London, was that the
Relief Bill of 1829, so far, at least, as Ir.-land was concerned,
s'iould be repealed!—aye, repealed, and the Catholics Licked
out of Parliament. That such a petition has been presented
in the 37th year of the 19th century, many pc: sons, no doubt,
will disbelieve ; in order, however, to show that we are not
amusing ourselves in the fields of fiction, but dealing with an
undeniable fact, we quote his Grace's own words :—" Th"
main object of the petition (avowed the Duke of Newcastle)
was to exclude Roman Catholics from the Legislature. The
security given in passing the Relief Bill had proved insuffi
dent protection for the Protestant inst:tutions of the country.
It had becn agreed upon that the titular Bishops should not
sign their names as possessing the titular .sres ; notwith-
standing which, the letter of this agreement had not been
observed, for these I.relatcs did use their titular signa-
tures. The oaths of the Roman Catholic Members, too, had
been disregarded"—and so forth.
Lord LORTON, it will be seen, seconded this motion in a very
long speech, which every friend of civil and religious freedom
will rejoice to perceive was afterwards dealt with and dean:-
fished by Lord BROUGHAM in a mariner so searching, convinc-
ing and complete, as to leave neither Lord LORTON nor his
Grace of NEWCASTLE a single fibre untorn of the miserably
poor, ridiculous, and exceedinely rotten web which those live
Peers, aided by the petition-mongers, had produced by their
united labour fur public exhibition.

In the House of Commons, Mr. HAwKEs pr, sentei a peti-
tion for the adoption of a measure to prevent the use of rail-
roads until they had been surveyed and proved to be fit to
travel on with safety.
Mr. HOUSTON presented a petition from Renfrewshire,
complaining of the present rates of postage throughout the
country, and praying for an equalization of the rates of
charge.
Mr. H. FLEETNNOOD presented a petition from the Board of
Guardians of the Preston Union, against the Poor Laws
Amendment Act.

The Report of the Charity Commissioners was laid upon
the table. Mr. HUME asked—whether it was the intention
of her Majesty's Government after having expended 200,0001.
in inquiring into the state of public charities, to bring in any
Bill which would do away with the necessity of instituting such
inquiry again.
On the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET a Select
Committee was appointed to inquire how far the intentions of
the Reform Bill were defeated by making and registering fic-
titious and improper votes in Ireland.
Sir H. VERNEY'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill to re-
lieve the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England aad Wales
from their duty of laying before her Majesty in Council a
scheme for uniting the sees of Carlisle and Sodor and Mann,
on a division, was negatived.
Mr. FITZROY moved' for ereturn of the names of persons in
• the employ of the Post-office, against whom any complaint
had been made for voting at the last general election of Mem-
bers of Parliament, and the names of those who had been dis-
missed in consequence. The return moved for was ordered
after some interesting conversation.
On the motion of the SOLICITOR.. GENERAL, the Commis-
sions of the Peace Bill was read a second time, and ordered to
be read a third time this day.
The House adjourned at half-past Eight o'clock.

The discomfiture of the Tory Lords in the House
of Peers on Monday on the question of the present
state of Ireland, was not so signal as to prevent the
Duke of NEWCASTLE and Lords LORTON and
WiNcuELsEA from again returning to the charge last
night. The presentation of a petition from the Pro-
testant Association, praying for the repeal of the Catho-
lic Emancipation Act, on the modest ground that all
the Catholic Members of the House of Commons were
guilty of perjury, served to unmask the real views of
the 'Ultra-Conservative faction. We cannot but ex-
press our regret that either Lords MELBOURNE or
BROUGHAM should have thought it worth their while
to notice the fanatical ravings of the Duke of NEW-
CASTLE, and his brace of Noble supporters. What
regard is due to the preaching of a Noble Lord, who
stated it as his solemn belief that the condition of Ire-
land is ten times worse now, as regards the security of life
and property, than it was in 1798 ? Lord LORTON'S
speech ought to be tested by the degree of accuracy
v k'ch is accorded to this his solemn and explicit de-
claration. The observation of Lord MELBOURNE,
that if the Catholic Members of the House of Com-
mons were perjured, so likewise must be the Govern-
ment, appeared to take their Lordships by surprise.
They had, in their excessive zeal to stigmatize the
Catholics, forgotten that there was such a thing as a
Protestant oath, which bound Protestant Members of

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1537

establish national Schools—that they have not used the
means in their power to apply the benefactions of cor-
porations and individuals to the benefit of those for
whom they were intended ; and that while many of
their flocks were destroyed for lack of knowledge,
there were many of their body that received, what
in other countries would be called princely incomes,
for teaching two or three scholars, or for teaching none
at all. The violent opposition made to the Education
Committee in 1818—the accusation against its author
that his object was to pull down the Church by
pulling down the Universities and great schools, and
the subsequent reports of that Committee—afford but
too melancholy proofs of this charge against the
Clergy. It is needless to say that the Government
have no such plan in view, and even Lord BROUG-
HAM, who would go much further than the Govern-
ment, abjured the remotest idea, and pointed out the
impracticability of making education compulsory on the
people, or of establishing any system excluding reli-
gion. The Clergy have no fear of any such plan, but
they have especial dread of another, which they can-
not so easily resist, and which Lord BROUGHAM
adverted to in these words :

" I hope that in what I say I may not be deemed to commit
myself in another direction. For if I am of opinion that edu-
cation should be by no means compulsory upon the people, I
am equally of opinion that there ought to be the most careful
rejection and exclusion of any principle in the measure which
could give to the Established Church, or to any single sect,
any preponderance, dominion, or power, exclusively and para-
mountly over the education of the people of this country."

It will be seen that a motion to prevent the junction
of the Bishopric of Sodor and Mann, with that of
Carlisle was negatived last night in the House of
Commons. The union of these Sees was recom-
mended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and
forms part of the plan on which the new arrangement
of the Bishoprics, and the regulation of the Bishops'
stipends, were founded, in the measure which passed
the Legislature the last Session but one.
Sir ROBERT INGLIS urged upon the House the
necessity of more Bishops to supply the wants and de-
sires of the people, and strongly deprecated the ab-
sorption of Sodor and Mann, because it had been held
sacred from plunder by a French privateer one hun-
dred years ago. Sir ROBERT PEEL opposed this un-
seasonable tampering with a law so recently passed,
and sanctioned by the highest ecclesiastical autho-
rities in the land. It is quite clear that if we
take the extent of the other Sees into consi-
deration, that of Sodor and Mann is far too insig-
nificant for a Bishopric, and almost for an Archdea-
conry. The only thing like an argument in favour of
its continuing in its present dignity is that the incum-
bent is the only English Bishop who has not a seat in
Parliament. In cutting him off, therefore, from the
episcopal roll, we cut off an argument for excluding
the Bishops from the House of Lords.

The Paris Journals of Monday have all been re-
ceived, but they do not contain any domestic news of
public interest. No intelligence of a later date than
the accounts published yesterday has been received
from Spain. The following extract has reference to
the Government of French Africa :
A Morning Journal publishes a list of the chief officers,
civil and military, through whose hands the direction of
the colony of Algiers may be said to have glidtd since
the revolution of 1830. We re-publish this statement,
because it is most instructive to the country. It discloses
the secret of the barrenness of our conquest, and the little
solidity of our power. What is first of all requisite in
an establishment of this kind is a firm hand, with a decided
system consistently pursued ; a great knowledge of the loca
lities, and of the inhabitants; and, above all, a vigorous and
durable command. How should Algiers be prevented from
going to decay, if it were still to be abandoned to so many
personal feelings—so many systems—so many contradictions.
If the English were to follow such conduct, though firmly
established in the Indies, they would not possess an inch of
territory there in ten years.
The following is the of Generals-in-Chief:—

General Bourmont from the 15th of June to Sept. 2, 1830.
General Clauzcl, from Sept. 2, 1830, to Feb. 20, 1831.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY.—
Wo have had no market for Cotton to-day, and we doubt
whether the sales exceed 600 or 700 bags, when holders were
determined to sell at rather lower prices; but there is no
change from yesterday.
We understand a meeting of the Committee for the
memorial of the Duke of.. Wellington's military achievements
took place on Saturday, the Duke of Rutland in the chair.
There were present his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Bishop of London, Viscount Beresford, Viscount
Lake, Lord Downes, Sir Henry Halford, Bart., Sir Astley
Cooper, Bart., Sir James Rivett Carnac, Bart., M. P., Sir
Frederick Trench, M. P., Sir Augustus Clifford, Major Smith,
tJh.eM .Rainboro, Esq., and T. B. Simpson, Esq., &c. &c. By
Secretary's report it appeared that the sum of 11,4451. had
already been subscribed, exclusive of what may have been re-
ceived in Ireland, Scotland, and other parts of the united
kingdom, and what may betxpected from the army, navy, the
universities, and learned professions, (very few members of
which have as yet subscribed,) the :East and West Indies, and
the British dependencies. The money actually paid has been
invested in Exchequer Bills by the Treasurers, Messrs.
Drummond, but the nature of the design was not taken- into
consideration.
Our latest communication from Bradford states that
the town remains quiet, but we understand that troops are still
in the town.—Halifax Express.
