ROMAN CATHOLIC PEERS BILL.

BILL to relieve ROMAN CATHOLIC PEERS from the
Disabilities imposed upon then by the Act of the 30ih of
Charles the Second, with regard to the right of sitting ard

voting in the House of Peers.

Whereas the ancient and unquestioned right of Peers to sit
and vote in Parliament, was used and exercised by them, with-
out any disqualification on account of religious opinions, until
after the passing of a certain Act of tl: thirtieth year of the
reign of his Majesty King Charles the Second, intituled, " An
Actifor the more effectually preserving the Kiw's person and
Government, by disabling Papists from sitting in either House
of Parliament ;" And whereas by the said Act it was (among
other things) enacted, that no Peer should vote or -inake hif
proxy in the House of Peers, or sit there during any debate in
the said House, without first taking the Oath of SuprernacY7
and making, subscribing, and laudibly repratleg tF.e de:lara-
tion, in the said Act prescribed, against transubstantia.tiol;.the
invocation of the Virgin Mary, or any other Saint, and the
sacrifice of the Mass ; which said Oath of Supremacy has, by
subsequent Acts of Parliament, been repealed, and another
substituted in its stead.

And whereas by a certain Act made and passed in the fifth
year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Anne, intituled, " An
Act for an Union of the two Kingdoms of -England and Scot-
land;" and by a certain other Act made and passed in the
thirty-ninth and fortieth year of the reign of his Majesty King F.
George the Third, intituled, " An Act for the Union of Great
Britain and Ireland," the Peers elected on behalf of the King-
dom of Scotland and of the Kingdom of Ireland, respectivell
to sit and vote in the House of Lords of the United Kingdom'
are required to take the said oath, and make and suf./scribe the
da
said declaration, until the Parliament, of the United gingm
--
shall otherwise provide.
And whereas the said oath and declaration so first icaPaged
upon the Peers by the said Act of the 30th of King,Cliztlel •
the Second, were imposed for causes, and under circumstnnevw
which no longer exist ;
May it therefore please your Majesty, that it may be_
enacted, and be it enacted by the King's Mott Excellenl,
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in thii present Far'
liament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that f:.01;
and after it shall and may be lawhil for a"
Peers of the United Kingdom, who shall be otherwise doli,
qualified to take their seats in the House of Lord. to
-7
cluri
make their proxies in the said House, and to sit there
said
debates therein, without first nicking or subscribLing tte
the
declaration, or taking the oath of supremacy require ‘.4 any
said Acts, or any of them ; any thing in the said Actsd,.„..
other contained, to the contrary in anywise notwithstanal".s_,

CRIMINAL CODE.

Lord SUFFIELD .presented . a .Petition from seventy-six
indiyiduids, who had 'served 'aS Juthis in the last Old Bailey
Sessions, praying that the Criminal Code might be softened, in
order that jurors might.de their duty with more satisfaction to
their own .consciences than .under the present system. His
Lordship expatited on the necessity of such a change. The
punishments inflicted by. the Criminal Code were so severe;
that in many cases jurors preferred committing perjury to ex-
posing individuals to their violence. ,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE' requested their Lordships
to consider how deeply the case demanded their serious atten-
tion; when individuals who hid been exercising the important
functions of jurors, came to that House with a solemn decla-
ration of the difficulties with which..they could conscientiously
discharge their duties,. and of their abhorrence of the laws as
they now stood'. This feeling was not continedto them alone..
It extended through . the community. In a short time their
Lordships might be called upon by measures from the other
House, to consider the subject of Prison Discipline, and other
branches, which, he trusted, they would regard as but parts of
one general system of alteration. If the Bill which had for
some time engaged the attention of Government to regulate the
discipline of prisons; had the effect which was intended, that
of deterring offenders more effectually from the commission of
guilt, it 'might • induce their Lordships to -remit, in some in:
stances, 'the, apparent severity of the criminal code, and to
render it more congenial to the feelings of the people.—The
Petition was then laid on the table. .

LOrd ELI4ENBOROUGH gave notice that on Friday week
he should mpve the second reading of the .larriage Act Amend-
ment Bill.

Lord DACRE hoped the Noble Lord would fix upon an-
other day, as he had informed a Reverend Prelate (the Bishop
of Peterborough), that he should present on that day a petition
from an individual complaining of rejection on his gait, and
that. Rev. P-felate had promised to attend in his place. The
subject.might occupy a considerable time, and the two notices
Would thus interfere with each other.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not think that would be the
case, as however be might disapprove of the Marriage Act
An-ienchbent Bill, it was not one to the committing of which
he should object.—The notice was then entered for. Friday
se'nnight. .

other, purpose. They prayed for relief •by the abolition of the
duty on bark imported, and of the Excise Duty on Bark, which
not only made. the article produced dear, but by limiting the,
manufacture as to time prevented him from making good fea-
ther. .The. Excise Duty was, a decreasing one. In 1820 it pro-
duced upwards of 36,0001. in 11i21 only 34,0001: Mr. IL par.:.
ticularly called'attention to the fact stated by the Petitioners,
that the provision trade of Ireland was increasing, the exporta-

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, MAY 30.—0 n Wednesday last the Members
of the Senate assembled to elect a Professor of Mineralogy, in
the room of the late Dr. E. 1). Clarke. J. S. Henslow, Esq.
M.A. and the Rev. Francis Lunn, M.A. of St. John's College,
were nominated by the heads cf houses. Before the scrutiny
commenced a protest was presented by two Members of the Senate
against the mode of election by nomination, and the Rev. Thos.
Jephson, B.D. of St. John's College, was proposed as a third
candidate. A large majority of the Members of the Senate are
understood to have tendered their votes for his election. At the
termination of the poll the votes so tendered were not read over
by the Proctor, and Mr. Henslow was declared duly elected.
'We understand that a great number of the Members of the Se-
nate have resolved to institute proceedings in one of the higher
courts, for the purpose of obtaining a decision on this impor-

taut question.
At a Congregation on Tuesday last, the following degrees
were conferred :

Masters of Arts.—Rev. Joseph Dewe. Fellow of Queen's
College; William Horton, St. John's College.
Bachelor in Civil Law.—Chas. Pasley Vivian. Trinity Hall.

Bachelor in Physic.—Edmund Lambert, Pembroke Pall.
Bachelor of Arts.—Edward Blackett, St. John's College.
At the same Congregation Graces passed the Senate to con-
firm the following regulations respecting examinations :

*LAN OF EXAMINATION.
Before Admission ad Respondendum Qucestioni.
1. The examination of the first six classes of the Question-
ists shall remain precisely upon its present footing.
2. At the examination in January, 1826, and every subse-
quent year, the seventh and eighth classes shall be examined,
on the first two days, in the Elements of Mathematics, as here-
tofore ; on the tbiid day, in Locke's Essay on the Human Un-
derstanding, Paley's Moral Philosophy, and his Evidences of
Christianity ; and on the fourth day they shall be required to
translate passages selected from the first six books of the Iliad,
and of the !Elicit! ; and to answer grammatical and other ques-
tions arising immediately out of such passages.
3. In addition to the two Members of the Senate who, ac-
cording to regulations already existing, shall be appointed

additional Examiners, on principles similar to those laid down
in the second regulation.

THE THEATRES'.

HAYMARKET.—The pleasant Comedy of She
Sloops to Conquer last night introduced Miss
lIART, from the Bristol Stage, to this Theatre, in
the part of Miss Neville. She is small in person,
but easy in her manner, and she speaks naturally.
The part requires no great crqic powers, and
Miss HART fully supplied what was wanting.—
nun.- Marlow was to have been performed by
Mr. C. KEMBLE, but, for some allowable cause no
doubt, was assigned to Mr. JONES, who has often.
supported it with success, and not less so on the
present occasion. Mrs. CILITTERLEY'S Miss
Hardeastle was an animated performance, and
TERRY'S Hardeastle a good specimen of charac-
teristic comedy.

ENGLISH OPERA HOGS E.-The dramatic sketch
of The Actress of All-Work was represented last
night at this place, for the purpose of introducing
Miss CLARA FISHER in the part of the versatile
heroine of the piece. We certainly went with
the expectation of disappointment, but were most
agreeably undeceived. The truth, spirit, humour,
and rapidity with which this child, as she may
be called, went through a variety of characters
were actually surprising, and we never saw such
an instance of precosity before. Granting that
she exceeds the stated age of twelve, by two years,
the wonder would hardly be lessened. She per-
formed also Crack, in the farce of The Turnpike
Gate, with no less truth, spirit, and humour.—
The applause of the audience was zealous, and
well-merited. A new actor, named POWER, was
the Alaythorn in this farce, and he gave it all
requisite support. Love among the 'Roses, we
find was written by Mr. BEAZLEY, the author of
several successful pieces, and whose reputation
will be increased by this interesting_ and lively
sketch. The music is attributed to Dr. K ITCHENER,
a gentleman well known for his musical taste,
talents, and judgment, and who, from nobler
than pecuniary motives, with a true philanthropic
spirit, employs his time and abilities in the com-
position of works calculated to improve the health
of mankind.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES.-

LADY SOPHIA IItATI:COTE'S BALL.—On Monday even-
ing her Ladyship gave an elegant ball and supper at her resi-
dence in Grosvenor-square. The five spacious drawing-rooms
were thrown open, which were most brilliantly illuminated ;
the grand drawing-room facing the square was prepared with
unique taste for dancing ; the floor was richly chalked, repre-
senting diamonds ; in the centre was a large rose, with a beau-
tiful Etruscan border ; round this and the other apartments
were a profusion of pots of the most choice flowers. The ball
commenced about eleven o'clock. The first dance was led off
by Mr. Heathcote and Miss Cavendish, the lovely daughter of
Lord and Lady G. H. Cavendish. The supper, Which con-

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received a Reply from JUSTUS to ./EQUUS ; but as
it is evident to us, that )EQuus is mistaken with regard to
JusTus, we decline inserting the last Communication of the
latter ; but, give an extract from his Letter, which will assure
•./Ectuus "that JUST US "made no observation on his cha-
racter upon any personal knowledge of him. As an anony-
mous Writer JUSTUS answered QUU S'S former Letter ;
and it is a very mistaken idea that imputations upon the
character of JEQUUS were intended."

donor EXCHANGE, JULY 3.—Our Market being abundant-
ly supplied with all kinds of grain, and, having but few buyers;
the sales were very heavy, and only,picked samples of 'Wheat
support Monday's quotations • all other sorts were offered on
rather lower terms. Fine fresh Barley being scarce, found
buyers- at Monday's prices, but the ordinary quantities were
dull sale,—The arrivals of Oats have been very considerable
this.-week-, and, at a reduction of is. ps quarter, very few sales
could be effected. In Beans and Pease there is no alteration.

PLYMOUTH, JULY I.—The Superb, 74 Pandora, 18, and
Nimrod, 18, have been this week paid off here, and re-com-
missioned. On these occasons the seamen exhibited their pro-
verbial jovial dispositions and good-humoured thoughtlessness,
by driving in hackney-coaches through the town, stopping at
every public-house, and getting rid, in a few days, very fre-
quently in a few hours, of the reward of years of service.
YARMOUTH, JULY I.—On Tuesday last eleven of the
smugglers found on board the Susannah, captured a short time
since and brought in here, were removed from our gaol on
board the Ranger, Captain Sayers, which sailed the same day
for Chatham, where the men are to be put on board a man of
war ; eight others are detained in gaol, being found unfit for
service. On their way to the beach, the officers and men were
followed by an immense mob, who assailed them with stones
and hooting, and it was with considerable difficulty that they
got the smugglers through, the evident intention being to rescue
them ; but by the steadiness and perseverance of the party who
had them in charge, they were put safely on board. On the
return of the boat's crew to the jetty, to take Captain Sayers
off, they were again assailed by the mob, by which two of the
crew were severely wounded. Five or six persons have since
been apprehended for this outrage, and committed to prison.

THE LATE J. MINTER BLAIRI ESQ., M.P.

Few individuals have departed" this transitory
life more regretted than this amiable Gentleman, who expired
on Monday the 24th ult., at Gordon's Hotel, Albemarle-street,
after an illness of only seven days duratidn.—He was an accom-
'plished 'classic scholar, spoke with fluency the French, Italian,
and German languages, and was a considerable proficient in the
Fine Arts. In his politics, he was a staunch advocate for the
Constitution, as established in Church and State. In the per-
formance of his Parliamentary duties, he was most assiduous ;
and as a Member of the Agricultural Committee, he distin-
guished himself by displaying an intimate acquaintance with
the subject under consideration. He was particularly 'zealous
in promoting, in the House of Commons, the interest of Scot-
land ; and amongst other beneficial measures brought forward
by him, that of compelling the Scotch Connties to bear a'pro..
Portion of the expense attending the rebuilding and repairing of
the Jails of the Royal Burghs, has proved of the first import..
ance. In private life, he was beloved by men of all parties,
and his memory will be long remembered in the County of
Wigton, which he has represented since the retirement of the
Hero of the .Pyrenees and of Orthes, Lieutenant-General Sir
'WILLIAM STEWART, in 1817.

An Inquisition was taken yesterday on view of the body of
Sophia Burn, aged 13, who died at the London hospital' of
the injuries she received, by her clothes taking fire while tak.

us for another hour. *re trust that requisitions,
earnest, urgent, and universal, will be instantly
carried to every door throughout the metropolis.
Let the Clergyman himself of every parish be
foremost in this mission of piety and peace. Ir4re
are nonenot the first Dignitaries of the Church
of England—too high; for the beneficent office
none, we do.hope, among l'he chosen Servants of
ii/eligion, who would unworthily •shrink feom
rousing the indolent, rebuking the sordid, and
blessing the truly, bountiful in such a- cause:
While we hesitate to succour them, they perish.,

BERKSHIRE.

lirixDson.—The First Stone of the New Bridge over the
Thames, at this place, will be laid, with Masonic ceremonies,
on Wednesday next, the 10th inst., by his Royal Highness
the Duke of YORK, High Steward of the Borough. His
Royal Highness will be attended by the Grand Lodge of Eng-
land, in full costume, assisted by many distinguished- Members
of the Craft. It is expected that on this important occasion
the attendance from Provincial Lodges will be most numerous.
The ceren-ony will be attended by the Mayor and Corporation,
and other i istinguished bodies of the town and neighbourhood.

ostentatious Journal, the pride of which must
have been mortified by the publication, in the
present week, of a Supplement, by its towering
and formidable rival the Nero Times. That
Paper has perhaps supplanted The Times in

many a counting-house and many a breakfast-
parlour ; while The Times has taken the
places of less popular Journals, in many a

public house !—But Mr. liumE !—Mr.
is not content with eulogizing The Times
He wishes to have laid before Parliament and
the Country an account of the number of Stamps
used by each of the public papers !—Could any
thing be more injurious to the Liberty of the
Press than an inquisition of this kind,—an ordeal
which should render numbers the' only test of
honesty of intention,—of rectitude of principle,—

UME

or of respectability of conduct,—and the only
ground on which meritcould be recognized, or
reward conferred ! At this rate, Government

should bestow its advertisements and its mo

ney,—its countenance and its protection,—upon
any publication which the depraved and vicious
propensities of the multitude might be disposed
to favour!—The Morning Chronicle, which will
not be suspected of any interested motive, has
very properly been the first to oppose this vain-
glorious and unjustifiable kind of proceeding.
We cordially unite with it in its advice to Mr,
Humt, with the alteration of a single word,
" We would advise him once for all to let news-

papers alone, if he wishes to render his labours
serviceable to "—himself ,—a kind of service
which the privileges of Parliament forbid us the
privilege of presuming to be the chief object to
which those labours are so disinterestedly di-

SEDITIOUS MEETINGS.

-Mr. LENNA RD said, that though he was not in the House
last night, yet understanding that a very general feeling then
existed on the propriety of postponing till a future day his mo-
tion to repeal an Act, 60 0. 111. chap. 6, for more effectually
preventing Seditious Meetings and Assemblies, he would wil-
lingly yield to that feeling by consenting to put off his motion
to Thursday the 30th of this month.
London, England, 1822-05-09

AND THE BANK.

Mr. GRENFELL expressed his surprise that it should be
necessary for him now, for the third time, to inquire whether the
eopy of the correspondence which had passed between the
Government and the Bank relative to the renewal of its charter,
which had on Friday last been ordered to be laid before the
House, was yet ready to be produced. He had seen in a news-
paper a letter from the Earl of Liverpool to the Governors
of the Bank ; if the correspondence were of such a limited
nature, he could conceive no reason why it should be so long
withheld. He asked the lion. Secretary to the Treasury whe-
ther the correspondence would be laid before the House ? if he
should receive a negative answer he would then move that it be
produced forthwith.
34r. LUSLIINGTON replied, that be bad not yet had aA

opportunity of inquiring of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
when the papers would be ready to be laid before the House.
Mr. GRENFELL then moved that the correspondence be
produced forthwith.
Mr. LUSH INGTON thought the Honourable Gentleman
had better wait till the Chancellor of the Exchequer should
be present ; he would be able to state the reason why copies
of the correspondence had not been yet prepared. He (Mr.
Lushington) was sure that there was no disposition on the part
of Ministers to withhold or delay the production of the papers
in question. ,
Mr. BROUGHAM said the House ought not, on the pre-
sent occasion, to wait for the presence of any Member. The
delay which had already taken place in producing the papers
was a contempt of the House ; and it was quite a matter of
course, under such circumstances, to move that they be pro-
ducedforthwith.

After an observation from Sir J. NEWPORT, the motion was
agreed to.
NAVIGATION LAWS.

Sir. M. W. RIDLE V gave notice that when the Naviga-
tion Bill should come under consideration, he would propose a
clause for repealing the Is. tonnage duty on IVtish Shipping
homeward and outward bound. The Honeumble Baronet
afterwards stated that his clause would apply to tonnage duty
generally.
Sir It. HERON withdrew his notice of motion for leave to
bring in a Bill respecting the Settlement of the Poor, and post-
'poned it till next Session.
A Message from the Lords announced to the House that
several Bills of a private nature had received their Lords'aips'
assent.

Irish Manufacturers who, upon the faith of the existing laws,
had embarked large capitals in this trade.

existing laws was intended, but care would be taken to pro-
