HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.)
(Continued from, our First Edition of last Evening.)

Mr. WHITESIDE asserted that the Established
Church in Ireland had never at any period of its history
been so strong, powerful, and firm as it was now. What
he wanted was to inquire, not into the fasts, discipline,
and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church, but what
were the relations between the priests of Rome and the
foreign power—whether the doctrines taught at May-
nooth were incompatible with civil Government. Those
he thought were fair topics to be enquired into. If
there were a committee appointed—a fair committee—
he would undertake to demonstrate to the satisfac-
tion-of the Roman Catholic laity that these were grave
- and serious questions. The hon. member for Meath on
the hustings had, in a long speech, maintained that an
Oct of Parliament was not binding on Roman Catholics
thont the consent of the Pope, and that, in fact, the
Pope was more powerful than the Queen and Parlia-
ment. But the hon. member to-day had made a very
different sort of speech. It was one thing for the hon.
member to make a 'speech to the priesthood, and an-
other thing to address the British House of Comnions—
there a very different doctrine was necessary from that
which would make this free assembly slaves to the
Papacy. He thought it was a fair question to in-
quire into whether or not these were the doctrines
taught at Maynooth. What was the fact at this mo-
ment ? But a few weeks ago a gentleman of great learn-
ing and ability, a Roman Catholic clergyman, had been
appointed by her Majesty to the vice-presidentship of
the Queen's College. The Pope forbade it, and, with much
reluctance, he was obliged to resign it. Whose subject
vas the gentleman—the Queen's or the Pope's ? Then,
again, he was informed that no gentleman could
enter into the College of Maynooth without the I
written assent of Dr. Mac Hale or Dr. Cullen. These
two prelates were known to be the great advocates of
ultra-Mon Lane doctrines, and he thought it was a prac-
tical question to inquire into, whether no one was al-
lowed to enter into the college unless he was known to
be a heliever in these doctrines. Again, the commission
which had formerly been appointed, and which had
never reported, had been unable to ascertain whether
tb,e order of Jesuits had an establishment in the heart
Maynooth, and he thought that was another
question for inquiry. (Hear, hear.)
. Mr. Serjeant MURPHY deprecated the reintroduc-
tion of religious topics into this discussion. He spoke
in no sectarian spirit, but rather could with pleasure
testify to the alacrity with which the Protestant clergy
laboured during the time of famine in. Ireland. At the
last general election the priests so far from leading the
people into the contest were dragged into it by them.
A feeling had been created in Ireland, not only by the
Stockport riots but also by the Government proclamation.
BThe Bishop of Oxford had lately said on the Clergy Reserves
e that a claim of justice was involved in the request
from Canada, and he said that a similar observation
worad apply to this question. He denied that the May-
ne oth grant was for religious purposes, it was solely to
eYacourage education, and was not on the same footing
'as the Regium Danum, or any other grant of a like re-
ligious nature. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. KIRK said he was the only Irish Presbyterian
in the house, and therefore he represented no less
than 700
ium, and hearooo of the Irish people. He could not sit
the Regium Donum grant Mimed. The
Reg Donum was granted by the Crown in considera-
tion of certain rights which the clergy to whom it was
hgranted gave ; but the continuing or discontinuing

cluirn but this
Mr. COGAN was not opposed to in
was too great a question to be disposed of on an amend-
ment.

Mr. O'BRIEN regretted that the tone adopted last
week by the hon. member for Bath was not taken up by
the hon. member for Enniskillen, and he was not sorry
that this debate was drawing to a close. Of course, he
could have no objection to a motion for inquiry into the
state of Maynooth, though he deprecated some of the
language which had been applied to that institution.
The hon. and learned member for Cork had, however,
fully expressed his views upon the whole subject, and he
would not trouble the house further, seeing that the
house was anxious to come to a division upon the
question.

- Mr. MUNTZ valued no religion that required the
assistance of a Government grant, and he therefore
voted against the increase of the Maynooth grant in
1845. lion, members who represented Ireland did not
object to agitating the repeal of ministers' money,
though they clamoured loudly against those who opposed
this grant to Maynooth. He repeated that he was op-
posed to all grants for religious purposes, but it was
hopeless to expect, as some hon. members did, that all
these grants could be swept away at once. They must
be removed piecemeal, and as a commencement in that
direction, he vas ready to refuse the grant to Maynooth.
Sir J. FITZGERALD complained of the continued
agitation of this subject, as it had and was still creating
considerable uneasiness in Ireland.

PARLIAAIENT.

• 11IAYNOOTH.
Mr. HUME considered that the property of the
Church was public and not private property, given for
the promotion of religion among the people ; but instead
of being used for that purpose, it had been reserved for
the support of the members of certain families. If they
'meddled with religious endowments at all, they should
sweep them away altogether. Nothing would contribute
so much to peace and unanimity among the people in
Ireland as the adoption of such a course. He confessed
he felt in a somewhat difficult position in regard to the
way he should vote ; but, on the whole, he thought the
best course would be to withdraw the amendment.
Captain BELLEW said, though he approved of the
rinciple of the amendment, he should vote against it,
because it did not go far enough and include all religious
grants. If the amendment was made to extend to the
Regium Donum and the Established Church, he would
have great pleasure in supporting it.
Mr. STAPLE TON could not recognise any distinc-
tion between the income of the Established Church,
derived from land or tithes, and that obtained from the
consolidated fund ; the whole he treated as the property
of the public, and therefore he could not see by what
rule of justice the hon. member could omit the Regium
Donum from his amendment.
Mr. MAGUIRE also objected to the amendment
because it was not sufficiently comprPlensive. Though
he was a conscientious Protestant, he denied that the
Established Church was either a blessing or a boon to
Ireland, and he thought that a great benefit would be
conferred on that country by its removal.
Mr. W. J. FOX said. flat neither the voluntary prin-
ciple nor the principle of the Established Church was
involved in the amendment. To what it really related
was, whether taxation drawn from the whole people
should be applied for the benefit of particular classes,
sects,- or dene,minations. To such a grievance the
amendment 'was opposed, and he trusted it would
obtain ever, the support of the honourable mem-
ber for worth Warwickshire, because it was as
hostile to the Maynooth grant as his own resolu-
tion. lie might say it put the resolution in a
better shape, and gave it a dignity which it did not
formerly possess—it raised it, in fact, from an attack at
a po,rticular creed into the dignity of an assertion in
favour of a general principle. He was altogether op-
posed to all religious sects being equally supported by
the Government ; for if clergymen, and priests, and
ministers were alike in the receipt of Government money,
it would be supposed they had an interest in supporting
the existing Government, however oppressive might be
its administration of affairs. It would be imagined that
they did not preach against one another in order to at-
tain the truth, but to promote some personal and sinister
objects of their own, and thus people would take an
aversion to religion altogether. He should support the
amendment, believing that all
.grants to particular sects
impaired the character of religion, and destroyed its in
fluence on the population.
Mr, J. BALL considered that the time was not far
distant when the whole subject of religious grants must
be considered by the house. He deprecated, however,
making the house the arena for religious controversies,
and trusted, when questions of this kind were again
brought before it, they would be discussed in a different
spirit.
Sir J. SHELLEY hoped the hon. member for Bir-
mingham would not withdraw his amendment. He was
in favour of
,even-handed justice being dealt out to all
creeds and religions in the country, and, as a step in
that direction, he would give his assent to the amend-
ment. Though the hon. member for North Warwick-
shire spoke so harshly of the oppression of the Roman
Catholic Church, he believed that if he had it in his
Power he would flay and roast every member of that
Church.
Mr. LUCAS denied there was the slightest ground
for the assertion, that the Maynooth grant was diverted
from the objects which properly belonged to it. It was
said that the Roman Catholics should be ashamed to re-
ceive so paltry a sum, that the grant was a mere out-
post of the Established Church, and that they ought
to co-operate with Dissenters in trying to get it
removed. (Hear, hear.) Let the hon. member so
frame his amendment as to raise the whole question
fairly between all sects and classes of the community,
and he should obtain the cordial support of all who
acted_ with him (Mr. Lucas), not only on the present
occasion, but on every other occasion when he brought
it forward. What he now complained of was, that the
whole question was not fairly raised by the amendment.
It was not his object to obtain any undue advantage for
the Roman Catholic Church, but to secure perfect reli-
gious equality in Ireland.
Mr. PHINN deprecated all religious discussion as
hurtful and mischievous to the progress of public busi-
ness. He had voted against the motion of the hon.
member for North Warwickshire, because he thought it
was founded upon itrinciples unfair to his Roman Catho-
lic brethren. He intended to vote for the present mo-
tion, because he thought that the time was come for the
house to inquire into the religious endowments of the
country. (Hear, hear.) He was afraid that the
difficulty of supporting this amendment, however, would largely increase by the language which had been
held in the course of this debate by the Nonconformist
members, who had gone with some bitterness into the
-whole subject of the endowment of the Established
Church in this country. He believed that the inquiry
proposed by the motion would be a great boon to the
Established Church, because it would prove that that
church was not so much more favoured as it was thought
to be

posed of the whole question that it was hardly necessary
for him to say a word by way of reply, but an
appeal had more than once been made to
him to say something about the motion for
inquiry, that he could not resist the desire to detain the
house for a,- few moments longer. Last year all the
Irish members seemed favourable to an inquiry, though
then, as now, they did all in their power to prevent it ;
and if they were really consistent and sincere in their
professions, they could not suffer the charges against
Maynooth to go uncontradicted, or to remain without an
inquiry into their truth or falsehood. What
he complained of was not so much the doc-
trines that were taught at Maynooth, as the
circumstance of the Legislature granting money to assist
the teaching of those doctrines. Of course the Roman
Catholic Church enjoyed perfect toleration to teach what
it thought proper, but it had no right to call upon the
country to pay for the teaching of doctrines that were
not only injurious to society at large, but were diame-
trically opposed to those Protestant principles which the
Legislature and the Crown were bound to support. He
would not, however, purchase the withdrawal of the
grant at the expense of a principle, and he could not,
therefore, adopt the amendment in preference to the
original motion. (Hear.)
• The house then divided on Mr. SCHOLEPIELD'S amend-
ment to the original resolution, when there appeared—
