SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Scvcn o'clock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER entered the House at a quarter past five, and
there being only thirty-four Members present, the House ad-
journed till to-morrow morning.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Mr. Preston, from the East India House, brought up
certain,papers.
ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

Petitions in favour of the Established Church were pre-
sented by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Well-
ington, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the Bishop of Exeter.
COERCION BILL,

The Marquis of WE STME ATH, in rising to move that
certain papers which had been moved for relative to the
Coercion Bill should lie on the table, stated, that al.
though he did not consider them of public importance,
yet, as tending to show the jesuitical fraud and falsehood that
actuated some persons in Ireland, for the purpose of mislead-
ing the public, they were a very valuable addition to those pa-
pers which had already been laid on the table with respect to
the Coercion Bill.

The Earl of STRADBROKE would take that opportu-
nity of adverting to a statement that had been made in
another place by the Honourable Member for Dublin with
respect to himself. He had been represented by that
Honourable Member as a harsh and unfeeling landlord.
Against that imputation he now rose, for the purpose
of defending himself.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It was true
that that Honourable Member had since recalled his
statements, but nevertheless he felt himself called upon
to explain his conduct to the House. He had ever
followed the steps of his revered father, who, for
more than half a century had conducted the business
of his own county with much honour to himself
and advantage to the whole country. As a landlord, he was
kind, generous, and just, and it therefore could not be supposed
that he, who had followed his footsteps, could be worthy of the
imputation that had been cast upon him. As a landlord, he
had done all that lay in his power for his tenantry, and however
he might be blamed for the course he had pursued, he was
sure that he could not be so with justice.
Viscount CLIFDEN corroborated the whole of the state-
ment made by the Noble Lord ( Stra.dbroke.) He also com-
plained of the system of subletting in Ireland, by which so
many beggars were let into possession of land who were not in
any sense of the word tenants to the original landholder.
The Marquis of WE STME AT H attributed all the evils
that had befallen Ireland, and likewise the present system of
calumniation, to the influence of the ragamuffin part of the
press in that country, which was allowed to go forth to poison
the minds of the people.
The Earl of LIMERICK bore testimony to the honourable

character of the late Lord Stradbroko. The present was a regillar
system to run down the.present possessors of land in that country;
in order to set up a mushroom interest in its place. The system
was not new, for it had been begun by the agitators, 'Era
against the parsons of the Church, who were called by
the name of tyrant, and every thing also that was calculated. to
raise a cry against them.
The Earl of WINC HE LSE A, seeing the Noble
Marquis at the head of the Government in his place,
begged leave to give notice that to-morrow he would ask
him one or two questions, in order to give him an oppor-
tunity of explaining his views with regard to the for eign
policy of the country. In the present state of these affairs the
Parliament ought not to be allowed to separate without some
satisfaction on that head being given.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS,

Mr. TOOKE, and others, brought up a Message from the
Commons, stating that they would not insist upon the amend-
ments made in the Old Bailey Jurisdiction Bill.
ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented petitions in favour
of the Established Church from Glastonbury, Barkley, and
several other places in Somersetshire, in favour of the Esta-
blished Church.

The Noble DUKE also presented a petition against the Poor
Laws' Amendment Bill.
IRISH TITHE BILL.

The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition from Devon-
port, in favour of the Established Church. The Reverend
Prelate stated that lie understood the Bill relating xo Tithes
in Ireland was likely to be brought into that House as the
very last measure that would come before their Lordships.
He was quite sure nothing unfair was intended by this delay ;
but at the same time he was equally sure it would operate most
unfairly upon many of those Members of that House who felt
most anxiously upon the subject. The whole of the bench of
which he was an unworthy Member, felt it was a subject in
which the interests of true religion were more deeply involved
than perhaps any other that had ever been brought before
their Lordships.—( Hear, hear.) Feeling, that they would also
feel it to be their duty to stay there as far as possible with
whatever inconvenience to themselves, or their dioceses, even
if it should be protracted to the latest period of the session.
They had been sitting there almost without having had any-
thing to do, since the commencement of the session, and he
feared that they would have brought all the business of the
session to a close before that bill would be brought before them,
The LORD CHANCELLOR assured the Right Rev.
Prelate that he had done his Noble Friend injustice in sup-
posing that he wished to put off the Bill. His Noble Friend
had no intention of inconveniencing either the Most
Reverend and Right Reverend Bench or any other part
of that House. The great cause of the delay had been
the urgent pressure of other business, particularly the Coercion
Bill, which would expire in a few days. He had no
doubt that the Irish Tithe Bill would be brought
to such a stage as would enable its being passed in
a few days. He trusted that this information would satisfy
the Right Rev. Prelate.
The Bishop of EXETER thanked the Noble Lord for the
information which he had just given him.
Lord KENYON presented a petition from Armagh in sup-
port of the Established Church.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in presenting a petition
from Preston in favour of the Poor Laws Amenement Bill,
said he could not help taking that opportunity of reverting to
a most marked and astounding misrepresentation which had gone
forth with respect to the address delivered by him on his moving
the second reading of that Bill. That such misrepresenta-
tions should be made (joined with invective and ribaldry,which he
did not much regard), was not at all surprising where
a difference of opinion existed on public questions.—( Hear.)
But he did not like to be made the subject of unmeasured
abuse for things which he had never stated. The feelings of the
public were strong upon this subject of charity, and in support
of every hospital, and other charitable institution, and if it were
possible to mix up those who patronised the Poor Laws Bill
with a hatred of charities, and a dislike to charitable institu-
tions, and a hard-hearted, and, he would say, a short-sighted
denial of charity to those who were suffering under distress,
disease, or so forth, it would be difficult to meet such a
charge. Now, it happened to be utterly and entirely
the reverse. It was said that he had avowed ; that he, his
Lordship, had thrown off the mask, that he had avowed a dis-
like of all charities for the aged, the sick, and the infirm ; and
that he would be satisfied with nothing but a man's breaking
his leg; and that till a man met with such an accident,
he, his Lordship, would shut his heart against relieving
him—that a fever, or other such grievous calamity would not
open his compassion, till there was actually a case for the
surgeon. Thus the most unmerited abuse wax, passed upon
his hardness of heart. He had endeavoured to guard against
such misconstruction ; he had stated this that where there was
a provision for persons—for able-bodied persons—where there
was a known provision, whether in the form of alms or a pro-
portion of tithes, or monastic doles, that were bestowed at the
gates of convents in former times, or provisions in
hospitals or infirmaries, it had always tended to create
mischief, that those who knew that such provision existed,
would draw upon it.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He
then said that he would consider the principle of charities.
He said just in proportion as charities prevented idleness they
were valuable ; but he made no objection to hospitals for in-
curable diseases and fevers, nor even to dispensaries, for he
said that he would not stretch the rigour of the principle until
it cracked. He also said so in reference to hospitals for the
aged, alms-houses, and schools. Now it so happened that
he could not be mistaken in what he had said, because
he had got by heart the statement which he delivered to the
House, and which he would now read again from a letter which he
published in the year 1818, addressed to Sir Samuel Romilly.
It was exactly the same as he delivered in the hearing of their
Lordships with the exception of two qualifications, which he
added in mitigation of the principle for which he contended.
The Noble Lord then read the extracts from:the pamphlet
to which he alluded, as contained in page 31, which he de-
clared to be a duplicate of his speech. This stated the prin-
ciple which he had gone upon, and also the exceptions which
he had then as well as now in his mind. In speaking- of hos-
pitals, he said, as he had said before, that he was against
carrying the rule too rigorously. He would not have
taken notice of the very silly, foolish, and grossly
misrepresented statement, had •he not been informed by a
quarter in which he had every confidence, that there was an
attempt making to get up a popular cry, that he and others
were against all hospitals and charities in general. Any thing
more unfounded could not be, the existence of the only- hospi
tal he was or ever had been against, was that hospital which
was admitted by the Legislature, and all parties, both here
and in Ireland who • had ever turned attention to the
subject, to be nothing short of a public nuisance.--( Hear,
hear.) He had given practical proofs, although not
to the extent to which he wished he had been able to go in
the subscriptions to hospitals and charities that he had given ;
and indeed the very last thing he subscribed to was an
hospital.
POOR LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

-
On the motion for reading the order of the day for the
House going into Commitlee on the Bill,
Lord KENYON stated that when the House arrived at the
55th clause, he should move its omission, considering it a most
cruel clause.

Lord TE YNHAM objected to the House proceeding with
the Bill during the present session, as he saw no necessity
whatever for it ; and being quite confident that in the measure
passed at the present moment, Parliament would have to
meet, in a very short period, to make alterations in it.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

ROUSE OF LORDS, July 23.

A conference with the Commons upon the amendments
made in the Old Bailey Bill having been appointed, and it
being announced that the managers upon the part of the
Commons were in waiting, the Noble and Learned Lord
trusted the House would allow him to finish his few observa-
tions after the return of the managers.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 23.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY'S CASE.-BREACH OF
PRIVILEGE.

Mr. O'CONNE LL said, that having had the honour of
being appointed Chairman of the Inns of Court Committee, the
duty devolved on him, in consequence of evidence that had been
given before it, that if not satisfactorily explained, involved
one of the greatest breaches of privilege ever brought before
that House. He felt it his duty to state the circumstances to
the House. He did so solely in his capacity of Chairman of
that Committee, and he felt that he would not have discharged
his duty if he did not call the attention of all the Members
of the House to the case. The Report was in the bands of
Hon. Members, and the facts, as deposed before the Committee
were, that the Secretary of the Treasury had been written to by a
Gentleman for a sum of money to support the election of one
of two Members for a vacancy that occurred in the borough
of Colchester. A controversy arose as to whether that sum
was intended for one or both of the Members, but there
was no controversy that the money had been paid by the
Secretary to the Treasury, and it also appear.ed that that
money amounted to a sum of five hundred pounds,
which had been actually paid and sent down to be
empended for procuring the return of a Member for the borough.
Whether it was sent to one or both was utterly immaterial.
Upon the question it was left beyond a doubt upon the minds
of the Committee, and upon the evidence reported, that the
Secretary of the Treasury, as from the Treasury, had re-
mitted 500/. to support a candidate who was looking for an
election to a seat in that House.—( Hear, hear.) It would be
a most unnecessary trespassing on time to call for Mr.
Speaker's authority, or to look for any precedents with a
view to ascertain whether this was or was not a gross
breach of privilege. It would surely not be contended
it was not. If ever there was a period, thank God, that
period had gone by, when any body in that House would be
found even to palliate such a practice. He admitted that a
statement had been made to the House explanatory of the cir-
cumstance, and a statement from a very respectable quarter.
Still though that statement came from a very respectable indivi-
dual, it was still purely, but the statement of an individual,
without the means having been afforded of examination, or cross-
examination, or seeing any records that might have explained
that statement away, and shown that the Right Hon. Gentle-
man was under a mistake in what he had stated. Taking it
for granted that the statement of the Secretary at War, then
the Secretary to the Treasury was true, no doubt the fact was
capable of being sustained by evidence before any Committee
whatever, because if it came not from the Treasury, but from a
private subscription,' nothing could be more easy than to demon-
strate that it actually came out of such a fund, because it was
impossible that any individual could receive money from a sub-
scription fund, without those having the control of that
fund being able at once to show to anybady, who had
