IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes after
twelve o'clock.

Upon the motion of Mr. CARTWRIGHT, the pro-
ceedings ift the Stoney-Stratford Bridge Bill were re-
sumed, and the bill was read a third time and passed.
Lord R. MANNERS presented several petitions from
the county of Leicester against the claims of the dissenters,
and in support of the established church.
Colonel WOOD presented a petition from the town of
Brecon, in the county of Brecon, to the same effect, and
a petition from an individual of the name of Richards,
stating that he would suffer by. the passing of the Central
Criminal Court Bill, and praying for compensation.
Sir R. SIMEON presented a petition from members of the
Established Church resident in the Isle of Wight, against
the admission of dissenters to the universities.
Mr. CAVENDISH took the oaths and his seat for
North Derbyshire.
Mr. H. HUGHES presented three petitions from the
parishes of Holdnuck, Hishurst, and Leemarket, praying
for some measure for the better observance of the Sabbath;
also a petition from the parish of St. Martin, Oxford,
against the admission of Dissenters to the universities.
Mr. R. TREVOR presented a petition from two indi-
viduals of Carmarthen against a certain local toll bill, and
a petition from Llangollen and Merthyr Tidvil, against
the admission of dissenters to the Universities, and in fa-
vour of the established church.
Sir G. STAUNTON presented a petition from
Hampshire on the subject of the fisheries on that coast.
The hon. member expressed a hope that some measure
would be introduced to remedy the distress of the fisher-
men, as it would be an advantage not to the fishermen
alone but to the public atlarge.
After a few words from Mr. HALCOMBE, in support of
the petition, it was ordered to lie on the table.
Colonel CONOLLY presented a petition from Rath-
nain, in the county of Donegal,
.praying for the appoint-
ment of a committee to inquire into the cause of the in-
crease of drunkenness.
Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition from Dover to
the same effect; also a petition from a parish in Wiltshire,
in favour of the Established Church.
Mr. METHUEN said, that the only way that the
church could be preserved was by. reforming the abuses
which had crept into it. They might as well attempt to
stop the east wind as the progress of reform. (Hear.)
Mr. PLUMPTRE then presented a petition from seve-
ral officers and privates of the British army, complaining
of being obliged to attend at processions and other Roman
Cathnhc ceremonies. The hon. member gave notice, that
next weak he would bring before the house the case of an
officer who had suffered great oppression in consequence of
refusing to attend at a Roman Catholic procession in the
island of Corfu. ( Hear, hear, )
Sir. H. VERNEY supported the prayer of the peti-
tion, and said that though he was anxious to preserve the
strict discipline of . the army, he thought that the le-
gislature ought to continue to protect British soldiers from
being obliged to attend at ceremonies, to which they had
conscientious objections.
After a few words from Lord MANDEVILLE and
Mr. P. LALOR, the petitions were ordered to lie on the
table.
.•.•

Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE presented a petition
from the parish of St. Mary, Islington, against the Poor
Laws' Amendment Bill, and praying that it might be post-
poned till next session. The hon. and learned member
said, as we understood, that he could not agree with the
petitioners.
Mr. GROTE presented a petition from 40 ministers of
dissenting congregations, in and about London, praying for
the total extinction of church rates ; also a petition from the
Tower Hamlets, complaining of the power of summary
conviction given to magistrates.
After a few words from Mr. HALCOMB, the petition
was ordered to lie on the table.
Capt. BERKELEY presented a petition from the Wes-
leyan methodists of Sunbury, for the abolition of beer shops
and the better observance of the Lord's Day ; and a peti-
tion from Westbury, praying that the house would adopt
some measures to compel the landlords of Ireland to sup-
port their own poor ; also a petition from Thornley, pray-
ing for the abolition of all compulsory payments for the
support of religious worship.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he had been anxious to
bring the question of Irish Poor Laws fairly before
the house, but he had been driven from the question
on several occasions. (Hear, hear.) He was, how-
, ever, still determined to redeem his pledge upon this
subject. As long as poor laws were denied to Ireland,and
the people of that country were suffered to starve in the
midst of plenty, so long would the disgusting trade of
agitation, if he might be allowed to use the term, flourish.
If the government wished to put down agitation in Ireland
they must do justice to that country, and must, above all,
introduce a bill to regulate the system of poor laws.
Sir G. STRICKLAND said the house stould be most
cautious before it adopted any system of poor laws for
Ireland, and be first satisfied as to the propriety of such a
proceeding, and the efficacy of the measure proposed.
Mr. RUTHVEN deprecated the delay which had taken
place on this subject. A committee sitting up stairs was a
mere delusion ; such a committee might be sitting in
Ireland, where the best information would be at once
obtained.
Mr. FITZ SIMON supported the prayer of the petition.
Ireland at this moment was in a state of the greatest dis-
tress, almost in a state of general starvation.
Mr. FINN contended that poor laws would not benefi
Ireland while her gentry were non-resident, and their
wealth and moral influence entirely drawn away from that
unhappy country. He had no objection to a labour rite
of 2s. in the pound on all the property of Ireland, but he
was decidedly hostile to the introduction of poor laws into
Ireland.

in the
county of Mao for the repeal of the union, and
others from Cork, Tipperary, &c., against tithes. He
came to that house on the last night of debate to witness
the humiliation of the late Secretary for the Colonies,
but he witnessed, on the contrary, his exaltation, for he
discovered that hon. gentleman had acted on principle ;
but he could not say so much for his colleagues ; and,
however the Ministers might place confidence in the ma-
jority of that night, he thought it ought to be attributed to
the inconvenience many hon. members would feel in meet-
ing their constituents, and the prevalence of a fear that
there would be a general break-up of the Ministry.
(Hear, hear, hear.) He complained of the conduct
of the present half reformed Government towards Ireland
as being unjust and cruel. It was impossible that agitation
should cease in Ireland, while the present system of tithes
was suffered to continue. He was for the total destruc-
tion of tithes, and he now declared before that house
that he would never pay tithe& any more. Nothing, he
feared, could be expected from the poor, crippled, and pu-
sillanimous ministry that remained in their places, upon
sufferance only, tossed upon the troubled waters of uncer-
tainty. He was satisfied that nothing would do now but
a complete radical administration. (Laughter.) The
hon. member then presented a petition from the brewers
of Surrey against the proposed alteration in the beer act.
Major BEAUCLERK supported the prayer of the
petition.
Mr. FINN 'said he never supported the present minis-
try, but he thought they had been misled by the contradic-
tory statements made by the Irish members in that house.
The preponderance of catholics in numbers over the prc-.
testants in Ireland, was thought by some'to be exaggerat.
and by others to be estimated too low, and the.rffeol,eor n.. 71
was glad the commission had been appointed, Old

greatest facility would be afforded to that commission
y every hon. member.
Mr. POTTER thought it an extraordinary thing that a
member of parliament should declare in that house that he
would not obey the law of his country, and he feared the
effect of such a declaration Open the people of Ireland
would not be a very happy one. (Hear.)

did not think any good effect would result from the com-
mission, for that reason.
Mr. SINCLAIR wished to know whether the bon.
member for Cork would pay land-tax instead of tithes? He
could see no difference between the right of church pro-
perty and the right of private property; and should take an
invasion of that right as a downright robbery. Ile held
the established church to be the greatest blessing the coun-
try had, and he believed the cry of the dissenters for the
removal of grievances, was all a pretence, and that their
object was to subvert the church.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he should not be satisfied with
any tithe bill till the protestants of Ireland supported their
own church. He would destroy that church as far "
supported by catholics, and he repeated that he vr°°'

Mr. HALCOMB said then the declaration was the
more to be regretted.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented apetition which be said
he had had some time in his hands, which he regretted t°
be compelled to present. It was from widow Bush of the
county of Mallow, whose. husband voted at the late elec-
tion, and was immediately arrested by the other can
and thrown into prison, in which he died. The petitioner
prayed for the introduction of vote by ballot.

After a few words from Mr. CAYLEY and Mr. Ft rise
the petition was laid on the table.
Mr. JARVIS presented a petition from the city of
Chester, praying that the affairs of the county rate may
be administered in open court, and one from the same city
against certain clauses in the Poor Law Amendment
After the presentation of some few other petitions far
and against the claims of dissenters, &c., it being three
o'clock the Speaker left the chair.
