Mr. CURTEIS presented petitions from Bexley, Rye,
and Whittenham, in favour of the Dissenters. Also
one from an individual against the Buttenvay Inclosure
Bill, and one against the Great Western Railway, from a
Canal Company.
lautiltßDS presented a petition from Knares-
barough and Totwith, in Yorkshire, for the better obser-
vance of the Lord's Day.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL presented petitions from the
parish of Kilboro', and other places, for the repeal of the
Union ; also several petitions from various places in Ireland
:or the abolition of tithes ; one from the town of Longford
vas signed by 2,000 persons, for the repeal of the Union,
aid another from Dublin, for the same object, was
;igned by upwards of )2,000 ; another from St. An-
.trew's and St. Mark's was signed by 30,000 persons,
having the same prayer. Altogether there were nearly
50 petitions.
Mr. LEFROY would not contradict the hon. member
with respect to the petition from Longford, but was sure
there was [no gentleman in that county in favour of repeal.
Dr. BALDWIN contended, and could say from his own
knowledge, that the hostility to the union was rapidly in
-
,Teasing among the gentry and all classes of Ireland.
Mr. RUTHVEN was also sure that many and a large
body as worthy to be called gentlemen as any to whom the
hon. gentleman could refer in the county of Longford, were
decidedly in favour of the repeal of the union. He
fully concurred in the prayer of his consitituents for
a domestic Parliament, and with all the prayers
of the petitions before, the house in favour of
rel.eal, and he could assure the house no vote or
speeches could do away with the question. Nay, he antici-
pated, however, now it- might be opposed, that at
no distant period there, would Le a majority for it. He
would not cease to agitate out of doors, until it was ac-
complished, and he was confident no other measure, not
even the abolition of tithes itself, would satisfy the people
of Ireland.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR, in supporting the prayer of the
petition, denied that the repeal of the Union was a clap-
trap question. That meusure would alone have the effect
of preserving life and property in Ireland. The house
might delay the consummation of the question, but not stay
the current of public opinion in its favour. For him-
self he would say that he should not be content
until the people of Ireland had a parliament distinct and
separate from the parliament of this country. The standard
of wealth would never be considered the standard of public
opinion in Ireland whatever hon. members might say.
Mr. H. GRATTAN, notwithstanding the state-
ments of the honourable member for Longford, that
his constituents were against repeal, would undertake to
say, when he again put up for that county, he would be
most woefully defeated. (Cries of " Hear, hear.")
The honourable member ought to remember that he
was unseated for' that county on this very question
(Hear), and only resumed his seat by the most astonishing
decision of a committee of the house. (Hear.)
Mr. FINN contended that absenteeism was the main
curse of Ireland; and a repeal of the union was the only
measure that could remedy the distresses of the population,
The English legislature was ignorant of the wants of Ireland;
the Irish people knew it, and did not desist from seeking a
domestic legislature.

Mr. ROtHE presented two petitions from the count!
of Limerick for a repeal of the union.
Sir OSWALD MOSLEY presented two petitions, nu-
merously signed, from Staffordshire, in favour of the
present church establishment; likewise two petitions
from Staffordshire for a better observance of the Sabbath.
Colonel EDWARDS presented a petition from Breck-
nock for the better observance of the Sabbath.

After the presentation of a few more petitions of no
public interest, the house adjourned.

- about eighteen months ago.
