o i or diffidence, I believe the Church of Ireland is the very ground.
wh ch I should choose, and particularly so when I remember the doc-
trine which the Noble Lord has laid down with respect to the Church
and to ecclesiastical property, that if every Member of that Church
were swept from the face of Ireland, we ought still to have its revenues
undiminished.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble Lord has charged
that my Noble Frieud who opened the debate, and her Majesty's
Government generally, with the intention to entrap the unwary; he
has said that a very Noble Friend has left the House quite in the dark
with reshot to the terms and the principles on which thd resolutions
and the measures to be grounded on them may stand ;
and the Honourable Baronet, who has moved the amendraent has, in
the course of his speech, also changed those resolutions with a desire to
mrssfy the the House. I own that I think, that as to the attempt to
entrap the House into any great danger that the trap baiting has been
used on the other side of the House.—(Hear.) And now to touch on
what the Noble Lord has made not an immaterial part of this debate—
the position or order in which the measures have been brought forward.
I distinctly remember being in my place when my Noble Friend,
not admitting the dependence of which one measure had upon the
other, yet wishing to avoid a party contest upon a point which
could lead to no beneficial issue, he declared his willingness to
give the discussion tithes a precedence over that on the Munici-
pal Bill for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) But as a charge has been
made of a disposition to entrap votes upon both sides of the House,
and to recommend the measure respecting Tithes to one party by mani-
festing a disposition for the appropriation principle while the other
was to be deluded by pointing to the strict meaning of the
Words in the resolution, I feel that although my Noble Friend has
Already come very clearly to the main principles of the resolutions, yet
I think, for the purpose of not having any room for cavil, nor allowing
any to resort to subterfuge, I shall state shortly the drift and pith of the
resolutions, and then come to the question whether the House will do
well to have neglected the resolutions of 1835, and proceed to rescind
the resolution of 1835.—(Hear.) I believe that none can be disposed
tp dissent from this proposition, that it would be most desirable to put an
enci to all disputes between Clergymen and their parishioners. This
must ,Ize admitted to be desirable in all cases; but still more immedi-
ately desicabte when the parties differ in creed from each other, and
when that w;:ich is the subject of collision has been the prolific source
for so long a time of disputes and animosities. We propose by
OUT reigiutions, and by the measures intended to be founded on
them, to effect this, and to Impose the liability which is still borne
by the occupies of the land on the owner, subject, however, to a deduc-
tion from the full claim for the new liability which is imposed upon
)aim. We think, and we have reason to apprehend, that some of the
igndlords oistcct to this plan, while their objection is mixed up with
the fatting of the Irish people against the payment of tithes. We pro-
pose to rensedy this by putting the tithes, as far as either the owners or
occupiers are eencerneel, entirely out of sight, and by making the pay-
ments which the landlords have to pay In lieu of composition for tithes,
and for which, of course, they seek to be reimbursed from their tenants—
lay making all these payments appticalde to purposes in no way connected
with any subject of popular irritation or disceptent ; but, on the contrary,
eniyapplicable to purposes in which every class of the population, and,
most of all, the humble, are closely interested and concerned.-e(Cheers )
So far as riepects the operation of our plan, as fp* as money payments
gee concerned, and as concerns the owners and occupiers. And be it
observed that OtSa plan substantially differs from any of the preceding
for the last three or tour years both of the present and
of the past Goveriausent.S.—(Hear, hear.) Then With respect to 1
the payments made to the giergy. As the resoletions At pre-
sent stand, and as they were introduced by my Noble Friend,
It 'ls proposed that the clergy sbett 'active their allotted in-
come, seven-tenths of the title composition, or 70 per cent. of the last
three Bills that have been introduced into Parliament, as long as they
think proper, from the public Treasury ; and this, to me no little asto.
nishment, and to the reversal of all my previous calculations and ex-
pectations, has been made the chief grievance of the charge, the main
rock of °trance, through which the Opposition and the clamour of the
Church against the present scheme has been raised, because the future
annual income of the clergy is no more to be paid by reluctant land-
lords or resisting tenants, but instead of this they are to receive it by
punctual dividends from the Consolidated Fund of the empire, upon
which by positive course of law it is proposed to be settled.—(Cheers.)
But we do not stop here. After what has fallen from my Noble
Friend with respect to the delusion, the utter ignorance with which
it is sought to represent that this payment is, on the face of it,
one to be made by annual payments from the Yates of this House
out of the estimates of the current year—(Loud cheering
from the Opposition)-1 am surprised at the statements contained
in the petition of the clergy of the diocese of Armagh, who state that
these resolutions will strip the Church of her possessions, and reduce the
clergy to the condition of pensioners, whose claims will be liable to be
yearly investigated under the specious pretence of a public saving.—
(Cheers from the Opposition.) The Right Honourable and Learned
Gentleman (Mr. Shaw, we believe) cheers that expression.—(Continued
cheers from the same quarter.) I must say that I think that the clergy
of Armagh might have derived from etilinspiration of the Primate him-
self—l should have thought that between CNSTch and State they would
have derived more precise and correct information on this subject. But
Is this indeed- a state of gross hardship, of bitter injustice, of degrada.
tion, and of coercion under which it is proposed to subject the clergy of
Ireland to the insult of receiving a prompt, full, and certain receipt of
their lawful dues from the public treasury—is this state one under which
we propose to leave them, without the prospect of a termination or the
hope of redress ? The plan which we introduce enacts that in
the Case of all future incumbents of Church livings, and we
make it optional in the case of all present incumbents, sub-
ject only to such limitations as may seem advisable to secure the easy
reversion and investment of so large an amount of money—we make it
optional for present incumbents, and enact that in the case of all future
incumbents the state shall redeem by payments from the Consolidated
Fund, and shall invest the purchise.money either in land, or such pub-
lic resources as the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, or such other body as
it shall be reckoned right to appoint for the aid and benefit of the
Clergy, shall think most advantageous, desirable, and lucrative. And
what are the terissee on which we repose to make this investment ? We
propose that the mdwey shall be redeemed at sixteen years' purchase.
This is not a propositioSt. I boldly contend, which can be considered un.
fairly pressing on the Clergy', or one dictated by a spirit inimical to the
interests of the Church of Ire!end.—(Hear, hear.) My Noble Friend
(Lord John Russell) has alluded to the opinion formerly expressed
by the Noble Lord whom 1 succeeded in the debate, an opinion
expressed in the Committee which sat on this subject in the year
1832, long before this vexations question of appropriation was
raised. (Cheers, and a laugh.) What was the report of that Committee,
and what were their recommendations ? The report contained these
wor;ls :—" There seems then, no alternative but that the State should
lend its aid, and having purchased the rights of the clergy, become
itself the proprietor and collector of the perpetual assessment sub
stituted for tithe. If this be admitted, the actual amount of the tithe
now collected does not affect the progress of the argument, and,
without any attrnpt at accuracy, it may be taken for granted that
the gross compositiav, if it extended over the whole of Ireland, would
be abOut 600,000/. The composition being about 600,0001. if sold
at sixteen years' purchase, would produce a sum of 9,600,000/.
The question, then, to be ask'd is, whether it would be for the in-
terest of the landlords or of the Slate to purchase the perpetual land-
tax of 600,0001 at sixteen years' pit: chase. Supposing that none of
the landlords should redeem, and that the whole arrangement must be
conducted by the Government, the sum requir:d to be raised would be,
as before, 9,600,0001. This sum would be raised Government on
still more advantageous terms than by the landlord, prot.;.44Y at 3i per
cent., leaving a gross surplus annually of 264,000/, 5ub.1.7.4 tO the
charges of collection." The Noble Lord (Stanley) was not then ,leiree
so alarmed at a surplus as at present.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord did
not then contend that any provision should be made for the Clergy on a
footing more advantageous than ours. We propose the investment, n
be it observed, of the reduced rent-charge of 70 per cent., hut of t
original 100 per cent. at sixteen years' purchase. Then, in 183
his
_Hon. and Gallant Friend the Member for Launceston (Sir H. Ha
dinge), who then held the position in which I now unworthily stn
brought I.'rward his plan for the regulation of tithes in Ireland, a
what did hi ;ay ? He said—" To purchase 1001. of composition under
the Bill which a .eropose to introduce, assuming it to be taken at twenty
require the sum of 1,500/., while by the Bill of
years' purchase, it Will r
last year it would have ..-equired at the lowest rate 1,6501. The highest
price for the purchase for :.he redemption of 1001. of composition, would
have been 1,8501., and the avere,tte 1,7501., so that by my Bill the land.
lord will, on the average, gain 250/. On the redemption of every 1001.
of composition, at an addition of 21 yeZts' purchase, in addition to
the premium of 25 per cent, Thus it appears that the Honourable and
Gallant Baronet intended to make his terms e't redemption 15 years'
purchase, whereas we propose 16 years. After thii, I must say, I did
think that if any attack were to be made upon us, it wotild have been on
very difterent grounds, and from a very opposite quarter. We might
expect to hear objections raised in the debates on this propositiort, that
we were doing more for the Church than you yourselves, by your oven
erg meets and statements, and principles laid ground for.—(Long
and continued cheering.) We might be told that we were giving
up Is principle, for which we have battled ; and, if that cry
shall- be raised, I can only say that I shall be happy
to meet it when it is. In this explanation of the conduct of the Go-
vernment, I merely wish to state that having once plainly laid down
that principle ,which we think proper, expedient, and just—having
done what in us lay, not once, not twice, but in repeated instances,
and in a series of Bills that would have effected that principle—having
.done that, I am willing to admit, in the face of and in spite of much
opposition, and much public, inconvenience, we have been willing to
try, after so much of failure, which we admit and deplore—we were
willing to try whether, by making a more comprehensive change of the ex-
isting system, by taking a wider range, by removing every thing con-
nected with the payment of tithes out of sight, both of the occupier
and of the owner of the land, by removing every thing connected with
the collection of that obnoxious impost from the soil of Ireland—
after doing what we fondly and credulously thought would have been
an encouragement and an invitation held out from the highest and most
illustrious quarter opposite, we were willing to try whether we could not,
by the measure which my Noble Friend has laid on the table, preduce a
termination of the present unhappy state of irritation and suspends,
and place the question on a testing which, although it might not be
wholly satisfactory to any party, should nevertheless be generally ac.
quiescent in; and if we had been met with anything of the spirit of fair
compromise and the desire of conciliation, would have effected the
settlement of this question, stud would have restored the country to that
state of peace and comfort for wleich in this debatable territory the com-
batants have been so long sighing.— tCheers.) I proteit in the face of
man, and still more solemnly in the face God, that this was our simple
and single object in bringing forward the measure which we have laid
upon your table, although we know that in doing that we run the chance
of exposing ourselves to much of obloquy and misrepresentation. The
Noble Lord opposite (Lord Stanley) taunts us with seekiiSti concealment
and endeavouring to entrap the unwary, and with using misrepre.
sentations. As the resolutions stand at prescnt, 1 am sure any
one who has given his attention to the subject will see that they
snake no pretence of asserting the principle of appropriation,
because we did hope, in the face of the difficulties that en.
vironed the question, and in the hope of obtaining a satisfactory
solution aSul termination of it, that when we removed the cause of irri-
tation from t:tet sore place we would ensure a corresponding benefit; but
the amendment ed. the Hon. Baronet has given a new turn to the whole
question, and to our entire course.—(Cheers from both sides of the
House.) The Noble Lord the Member for Lancashire (Lard Stanley)
says if you do not by your measure carry out the principle of appro-
priation, why not consetia to rescind the resolutions ?—(Hear, hear,
from the Opposition benches.) ,Sly Noble Fricnd (Lord John Rus-
sell) has quoted many instances in which resolutions were still allowed
to remain on the journals of the gouse, and were not considered
as interfering with subsequent measures C..'ken in defiance of them.
There are other cases in which this house, !..ti adopting the amend-
rnents made by the other House, have shown 4isetr willingness to
pass a Tithe Bill for Ireland, without asserting the priociple of appro-
priation, and without any effort to. get rid of the obnoxious elauses
(Hear.) It is difficult to hit the taste and fancy of the gentlemen
opposite. When we bring forward a Bill with the appropria
our principle they revolt from it—they would sooner perish than
pas; it; and when we bring forward a Bill without appropriation
they met, they will not consider—they will first make us eat our own
woress.:4,2;leers from the Opposition.) They show as plainly as ever
yet was shown :!tat their object is not the peaceable and harmonious set_
dement of the queall;°n—
(Loud Cheers from the Ministerial benches)—
a question which agitate.' and d"tracti and convulses the country, which
exposes the population of ;:. €4,ojons, and too many
eland to sanguire7fY
clergymen to the most pitiable IL the amend-
estitution, But 444
amend-
ment of the Hon. Baronet propose to do ? It is not me:7l."9FPPind
a solemn act of a ismer Parliament, it je not merely to nullify r:.,4‘41-
map declaration of opinion in which the great majority of those on this
side of the House concurred ; but it is to make an admission, as neces-
sarily must be done, that those resolutions were founded on wrong
grounds and were inspired by vicious principles.—(Cheers from the Op-
position.) It is, in other words, to proclaim that the Church of Ire-
land with its present duties and its present revenues rests upon a foot-
ing that is perfectly just, proper, and expedient; that it would
be impolicy to disturb and sacrilege to diminish it. I =Ls beg

leave to ask the House, as this question has been forged upon I
us by those who consider themselves the friends and the steady
supporters of the Church, as we have sometimes the courtesy to call
them, and they have the simplicity to believe themselves.--A laugh,)
I must ask what is this Church, what are those duties, and what are
the revenues, to assert the infallibility of which we are called upon,
forsaking practical steps, into which the Hon. Baronet who moved the
amendment confessed that he had not condescended to look, for the sake
of committing ourselves, this useless and abstract demonstration ? I do
not wish, and lam far from intending, after the many occasions upon
which I have been called upon to go into this question—l am, I sar,
far from intending to open the whole case of the Church of Ireland; but
as the inquiry has been put to me, I must remind the House that, from
the population returns to which the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman
(Mr. Lefroy) referred, it appears that the population of Ireland, at the
last enumeration, was 7,943,940. Of these the Established Church num.
berg 852,664 persons—or Ido not mind giving a million. The Presbyte-
rians number 642,356; the other Protestant Dissenters amount to
21,808 persons, and the Roman Catholics number 6,427,712 persons.
And what is the distribution of the incomes of the several persua-
sions ? The Established Church, of 852,664 persons, has at present an
annual income amounting to, in round numbers, 800,0001.; the Pres-
byterian Church, with its 642,336 persons, receives between 20,000/.
and 30,0001., whilst the remaining portion, the 6,427,712 Roman Ca-
tholics, do not receive a single sliver of the public money.--(Hear,
hear.) It is on behalf of the infallibility of this specimen of established
polity that the chivalry of the opposite benches is to be called out to
check the progress of legislation, and to encumber and blast the hopes
of an amicable arrangement.—(Loud cheers.) In consequence of ditli.
culties which we are unable to surmount, and from a desire of doing
that which appears to promise a happier state of things, we no not in.
sist on the principle of appropriation, but we refuse our assent to the
amendment of the Honourable Baronet, because we think it lays down
an unfounded claim and establishes an improper inference. I refuse
my assent to it, because I believe that the system of established polity of
which, in coming forward this night, the Honourableßaronet shows him.
self an ardent defender, is not congenial to the rights nor reciprocal to the
situations of the people—because I believe that it is not founded
either in congenial policy or natural justice, and because I believe
that its authority is not derived from the high source of all measures, all
interests, all views, and all policy—the inspired records.—(Cheers.) I
find there, side by side, the arguments used for the maintenance of the
Church Establishment of England, and for the extension of Church pro.
vision in Scotland—l find there, side by side with the absolute refusal
even to suffer an abstract resolution to remain on the books, an absolute
refusal to provide for the spiritual destitution of an immense mass of the
population of Ireland, by the payment of one single farthing from those
costly revenues which the piety of former ages dedicated to the religious
wants of the nation.—(Loud cheers.) The arguments of the gentlemen
opposite seem, in my eyes, to be marked with the moat glaring incon-
sistency or the most shallow hypocrisy.—(Cheers.) It is as one coun-
try saying to its sister and co-ordinate country, " You are a con-
quered nation, and my religion shall be yours"—it is as one man saying
to his fellow-creature, " My opinion is sounder than yours, and you
shall either profess it or starve." I admit, for one, that both in
the prepoeition of this year, as well as in the propositions of former
years—we do conoede much of abstract argument, that we do fall short
of the natural conclusions which from some of our premises might he
deduced.—(Cheers from the Opposition Benches.) Yes, and do none of
you do that ? j admit that some of my premises would admit of the
propriety of making provision for the Roman Citholic clergy. We do
not bring forward this ; we do not intend to bring it forward, nor do
I think there is any probability of such a proposition ever being brought
forward. But is such an intention or opinion confined to us ? Did not
the Hon. Baronet, the mover of your amendment this evening, tell us
that this was his opinion; and was it not by a distinguished Member of
the Opposition that that proposition was first brought forward ? By
the scheme we now propose we offer to do more than ever was done be.
fore, and to give up more than ever was conceded before, In order to
effect an amicable settlement upon this question. That is our view,
spirit, and intention. But no! a party struggle must be waged—a party
vote must be given.—(Loud cheers.) Your expiring and flicker-
ing chance of a majority must undergo another risk, and the
ground you have chosen for your appeal is the infallible, inalienable
revenues, property, duties, and establishment of the Church of Ireland.
--(Loud Opposition cheers.) Well, then, in tkat cause Ido not hesi-
tate to take up your gage—(Cheers)—and though the Noble Lord may
here or elsewhere be ready to cry " Up, Guards, and at them"—(Loud
cheers)—upon this the Noble Lord's favourite ground of the Church of
Ireland, as put in issue on the motion of the Hon. Baronet to rescind the
resolutions of 1835, I take up the challenge he has given, and with as
firm a trust, and as firm a confidence as ever he can muster, and may
the truth prevail and prosper.—(The Noble Lord sat down amid loud
cheers.)
On the motion of Mr. E. LITTON, the debate was then adjourned
until to-morrow (this day.)
CHURCH LEASES.

On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, it was ordered that the
Church Leases Committee consist of twenty-one Members :—Lord John
Russell, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr. Pusey, Mr. Lambton,
Mr. Granville Vernon, Mr. Pease, Mr. Childers, Mr. Gaily Knight, Mr.
Hector, Mr. Ingham, Mr. Solicitor General, Lord Eliot, Mr. Baines,
Mr. William Evans, Mr. Hope Johnstone, Mr. Ward, Mr. Baring Wall,
Mr. Hawes, Lord Viscount Sandon, Lord Viscount Ebrington.
The other Orders of the Day being disposed of, the House adjourned
at half-past twelve.

Mr. ROBERT STEUART will move to-night for the nomination of
the followiag Select Committee on an Agreement proposed to be entered
into between the City of Edinburgh, the Creditors, and the Port of
Leith :—The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, Sir Geo.
Clerk, Mr. Laboucbere, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Robert Steuart, Sir Thomas
Fremantle, Mr. Warburton, Sir William Rae, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Hope
Johnstone, Mr. Hume, Sir Edward Troubridge, Sir Robert Price, and
Mr. Gibson Craig.

THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.—Mr. Wylde, whose
useful and well-timed maps and plans of rail-roads we have more than
once had occasion to applaud, has just published an ingenious map, designed
to shew the languages and dialects into which the British and Foreign
Bible Society has translated the Scriptures or aided in their distribution i
the position of the places where Societies have been formed; the popula-
tion of those countries for which versions have been prepared, and the
relative proportions of Christianity, Mahomedanism, and Paganism. It
is altogether a very curious piece of religious statistics, and may enable
inquisitive men to ascertain the value of many exertions of which hi-
therto we have had no test. The money expended by the British and
Foreign Bible Society down to March, 1E357, we learn from one of the
many tabular statements which accompany the chart is 9,339,2961. For
this sum the Society has distributed the Scriptures in whole or in part,
directly, in 67 languages and dialects, and indirectly, in 59. The num-
ber of versions is 157, and of these 105 are translations never before
printed. The total issues of copies of the British and Foreign Bible So-
ciety, has been 10,293,645. Foreign Societies have issued 6,847,224,
making a total of 17,140,869. The total number of auxiliaries,
branches, and associations, connected with the British and Foreign Bible
Society, in the United Kingdom, and its Colonies, is 9,636. There are,
however, notwithstanding their expenditure of money and their distribu-
tion of the Scriptures, an abundance of Pagans and Mahometlans yet to
convert. Mr. Wyld's map abounds with detailed information concern.
ing each land where the Society has been at work, like that of which we
have copied a brief summary. It is very curious, to be able, by the help
Of the map, to trace the operations of this active and untiring Society in
every part of the world, shewing that there is no distance so great, no
difficuittes so appalling, but that the voluntary zeal of Christian men is
able to penetrate into the former and surmount the latter. Mr. Vl/4 yld's
ingenlogs map adds much to our information, as well as brings that
which is already well-known, into a convenient, accessible, and lucid form.

We have great pleasure in giving insertion to the
following sonnet, which has been sent to us by Mr. Symmons, whose
ode on " Napoleon Asleep," which appeared a few years since in
Blackwood's Magazine, is unquestionably the finest of the sort in the
language, as we stated at the time of its publication :

SONNET,

Pages of solemn beauty—grace severe I
With a deep thankfulness I lay you down :
Henceforth for ever unto me ye bear
One star-like lustre added to your own,--

Ye stole from pain, when moody Apathy
Shook to intensest life beneath the power
Your shapes of loveliest terror shed on me.
Praise to their proud Creator t unto HIM

No more with silent lyre and censer dim
Shall listless loiter at the shrine of song—
But faithful to the promptings of his youth
Give earth one minstrel more of radiant taste and truth.

In our report, yesterday, of the proceedings of the
meeting on the " Spanish Legion," the name of Mr. LIMBTON, one of
the speakers, was misprinted as Dr. LAMBERT, and Dr. Lsmirrox.
Mr. Prescott's " History of the Rein of Ferdinand
and Isabella," is a book written under circumstas of the most extra-
ordinary difflculty—so extraordinary, indeed, that one less imbued with
the importance of iMe subject would have relinquished the task in des-
PBir• It is a publication which must undoubtedly take its place on the
same shelf with Gibbon, Robertson, Mid Hume; and which, while it
embraces all the popularity of the ptylaj and all thehistorical
accuracy of two of those celebrated authors, exposes, at the
same time, the errors of the third, and that in terms to modest,
while so convincing, as at once to persuade and engage even the
most reluctant and prejudiced reader. Great, however, as is the merit
of this admirable work, it has as yet attracted eomparativfly little atten-
tion. Scarcely any portion of the Press has sung load paeans in its
praise—no Government has coma forward either to patronise the publi-
cation, or to confer honour end rewards upon its author ; little is the
popularity it has achieved among the American public—little do they
yet appreeietg it as a publication honourable to their country, or as the

hitherto been rendered oiliy the more visible by the brilliancy of such
authors as ;Yashington Irving of ;Fenimore Cooper.—Courier.

ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this sort has created
quite a feeling of _excitement in Falmouth. On Priday evening a young
lady, possessing a considerable fortune independent of her respcF4ble
parents, left home under the pretence of regeiving some money due to
her. She did not return as spot) as expected, w 44 induced a suspi.

solved to set off to Exeter in search of her. The young lady waikefi to
the outside of the town, where the guard of the Exeter coach proved to
be the Lothario in waiting, who handed her into a chaise and drove her
to Truro, returning in time to take his One as guard, and promising to
take her on to Exeter by the coach. The father took his p!ace on the
outside of the Exeter coach, with his future son-ip,iaw, As guard ; on
arriving at Truro, the guard exclaimed at the inn, after shutting the
coach door with a gillll, A lady from Falmouth ggtOng out." The
father hastened down, and, ,running into the inn, excletmed, It is my
daughter!" At the same instant the g?..4a54 galled out to the coachman.

THE CURSE OF KEHAMA.
By R. SOUTHEY, Esq.
Forming Vol. VIII. of
