THE CEIV.StTs BILL.

A deputation in support of the Government plan for
securing a religious census, as being preferable to the fal-
lacious test of 1851, bad an interview with Viscount Pal-
merston on Tuesday.
There were present the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli,
M.P. ; Lord Robert Montagu, 11I.P. ;*
the Earl of Dart-
mouth; the Right Hon. Sotheron Estcourt M.P.; Sir
James Fergusson, Bart., M.P. ;the Right R. Hon.Mow-
bray. M.P ; Sir Brook Brydges, Bart., M.P. ; the Hon.
Colin Lindsay ; Sir Stafford Northcote, Bart., M.P. ; Lord
' John Tynne • and Mr. Beresford Hope.
Lord R. Montagu having introduce the deputation,
Mr. DISRA.ELI said he thought it would be acknowledged
that in the present position of affairs the statistics on which
they were accustomed to act should be corrected. Whether
this was a subject on which statistics ought to be intro-
duced was not the question before them. They had been
introduced, and so far that portion of the subject had been
disposed of. The statistical returns of the last census had
been freely adopted, and been made the allegation on which
legislative measures had been introduced into the House
of Commons. It was of the utmost importance that on
this great subject they should have correctness, and
that they should not be asked to depend upon
returns the accuracy of which was very generally sus-
pected. He trusted that his lordship would agree with the
deputation in the opinion that, the statistical element hav-
ing been introduced, the greatest pains should be taken to
secure accuracy in the returns. The decision of the Go •
vernment, in this respect, appeared to hint to have been wise
and well considered, and he trusted that her Majesty's
Government would adhere to that decision. They might
depend upon the cordial support of a very large party, if
they considered it their duty to maintain the opinion they
had formally expressed, and which he believed had been
most wisely adopted.
After remarks from Sir James Fergusson, M.F., Mr, H.
Hoare, Rev. Dr. Moleswerth (vicar of Rochdale), Hon. C.
Lindsay, Rev. Dr. Hume (of Liverpool), Rev. T. D. Gregg,
and the Rev. Canon Owen,
Lord PA.LMERSTON said he had, in the first place, to thank
the deputation for coming there to state their opinions, and
also to assure the Government of their support in maintain-
ing the bill as it now stood. Perhaps the best way in which
he could explain to them his opinions was by telling them
that he had had notvery long ago the honour of receiving a
deputation representing the other side of the question, viz.,
from the Dissenters, who stated that it was a great violation
of conscience to require of any man to state what his religious
opinions were. They urged that these were matters between
a man and a higher authority, and that the bill provided that
if these questions were not answered fines and penalties would
be inflicted, which would lead to a system of religious per-
secution, especially if fines and penalties were imposed upon
those who, from conscientious motives, refused to state to
what particular sect they belonged. They had requested
that the bill might be framed on the model of the last
census, which merely provided for a return of the attend-
ance of the different denominations on a given day. He
told the gentlemen who formed the deputation that this
was really not a matter assuming a religious aspect, but a
question how they should obtain statistical information for
legislative purposes. He told them that in all nations—
in all countries, statistical returns were obtained, show-
ing, for the purposes of legislation and administration,
what were the proportions of persons entertaining va-
rious religious opinions, and that course was never
considered' an infringement of religious liberty, being
adopted merely for legislative and government action. No
doubt the whole of a census beyond mere numbers of the
population, was an impertinent interference with the affairs
of private life. A man might say, and possibly with justice,
what business have you to ask me whether I am a brick-
layer, a farmer, a tradesman, or anything else, and the softer
part of the community might certainly, with much more
reason, object to being asked what their ago was. (Laughter.)
The gentlemen who had waited upon him had stated that
many of the Dissenters would say that they did not belong to
any particular sect, but that they were general Christians.
Well, then, he thought the iedieg, win they wade their coa-

' turns, might say they were of no particular age. (Laughter.)
The return obtained by the last census merely gave the
statement of the number of persons who, on a particular
day, attended religious worship, and this was of course liable
to fluctuations, the relative state of health and sickness, for
example, fine weather or bad—in fact, it indicated nothing
but the accidental presence of persons at particular places
of worship. If it should be thought right to add to the
enumeration of persons belonging to the different re-
ligious denominations a statement of the number of sit-
tings at each place of worship, he was not prepared to say
that that might not be a very fit addition. It might also
show what was the zeal of each denomination in regard
to establishing means of worship in proportien to
their actual numbers, It certainly might be a ques-
tion whether penalties should be inflicted upon those who,
from conscientious motives, did not wish to have their re-
ligious opinions inquired into, but he had always understood
that men were proud in acknowledging the sincere convic-
tion by which they were animated. (Hear, hear.) It
must be recollected that the last census, by requiring a
statement of the buildings of the different denominations,
did, to some extent, enter upon an inquiry as to religious
opinions, because each building was returned as belonging
to one or other of the religious denominations. He saw no
reason fer departing from the proposed form of enumeral ion
—(cheers)—and it appeared to him that no religious person
could have any good reason for taking offence at it. The
object was, simply to ascertain a fact which would be of great
importance as the foundation of legislative action. The
only other points which he thought they had to consider
were, first, that mentioned by the Home Secretary a few
evenings since—namely, whether it might not be expedient
to exempt from penalties conscientious persons who objected
to answer inquiries; and, secondly, whether, in ad-
dition to the enumeration of persons belonging to different
sects, it might not be useful to know the number of sit -
tings in the different buildings employed for religious wor-
ship.
The deputatation then retired.
