THE WINE LICENSES BILL, &c.

Lords.

In reply to Mr. LIDDFLL,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the

question of licensing theatres' for the sale of wine was
merely a matter for the police, and should not in his opinion
be brought before the house. With regard to the
Savings' Bank Bill, it was a financial measure, but it was
not of such importance that he could expect that bills of a
first class character should give way to its being proceeded
with. Unless some special arrangements were made
by which he could have a day settled for the
discussion of the bill, its postponement from Friday next
would, in the present state of public busbies havethe effect
of putting off legislation on the subject for the present
session.

THE VOTE OF THE LORDS.
Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR appealed to tho Government
for some information in addition to what had been already

stated in respect to the vote of last night of the House of

After a few words from Mr. DISRAELI,
Lord PALMERSTON said that he did not see any

reason to depart from the course he had state previously.
The vote for the adjournment of the house until Thurs•
day was then agreed to.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
Lord PALMERSTON proposed that upon Thursdays;

after Whitsuntide, Government orders of the day have pt e•

cedence of notices of motions, and that notices of motions

have precedence of orders of the day upon Fridays.—
Agreed to.
Lord PALMEItSTON said it was proposed that on
Thursday the Wine Licences Bill, which he hoped might
not take much time, would be disposed of. It was not ex-

petted that the third reading would occupy much time, and
after that his right hon. friend would propoie the votes on
account of the civil service estimates. They should then
proceed with the naval estimates.

COUNTY RATES AND EXPENDITURE.

Sir J. TRELAWNY moved for leave to bring in a bill to

establish county financial boards, for the assessing of county
rates and for the administration of county expenditure in
England and Wales. Ho wished to have the bill of 1853
reprinted in order that it might be referred to a select com-
mittee.

Sir J. PAKINGTON offered no opposition to the intro-
duction of the bill, but reserved to himself the right of deal-
ing with it in any manner he might think prop2r on the
second reading.

Sir G. C. LEWIS wished it to be understood that he did
not bind himself to vote for the second reading of the bill.
After a few words from SirJ. SIIELLEY and Mr. MLEDES,
leave was given to bring in the bill.

THE REGIUM DONUM.

Mr. BAXTER moved "That this house is of opinion
that the grant now annually made to non-conforming
ministers in Ireland (commonly called the Regium Donum),
should cease and be extinguished as speedily as is consistent
with the just expectations of the recipients thereof; and
Stith this view that no further grant be made on account of
' new congregations,' nor to any existing congregations after
the present ministers thereof shall have ceased, by death or
otherwise, to be the ministers ( f such congregations." He
disclaimed all hostile or unkindly feeling towards the people
of Ireland or the Pre-byterian ministers of the province of
Ulster in submitting this motion. The grant, amounting
to nearly £lO,OOO per annum, differed from all other grants
to religious bodies, inasmuch as a fresh claim was created
whenever 12 founders were gathered together who were
able to raise £35 yearly, and this at once became charge •
able on the estimates for the ensuing year. It had always
been a matter of astonishment to him that a respectable
and wealthy denomination should countenance a system
which of necessity gave rise to implications against clergy-
men as to the modes by which fresh congregations were
created. He objected to the grant on financial grounds,
and as an utter waste of the public money. It was also ob-
jectionable in point of principle, and was attended with dis-
astrous and injurious consequences to the recipients. The
grant did more mischief than good, and there were no spe-
cial reasons why it should be retained. The original con-
tract was for a sum of £1,200, and not for the sum 0f£40,000,
to which the grant now amounted. The grant was neither
more nor less than a reward for political services. One of
the results of the grant was to impoverish the ministers of
the Presbyterian churches, by drying up the sources of vo-
luntary liberality. During the last 17 years the Free Church
in Scotland had contributed £5,000,000 for the purposes of
religious instruction. His motion did nothing more than
ask the house to do, as regarded Ireland, what had been
done in England and Scotland. In both of the latter coun-
tries the Regime _Denton had been done away with, and he
believed with great advantage to religion. He did not desire
to do
_anything that would affect existing interests. His
motion would reserve to the clergy of the Presbyterians in
the North of Ireland their present income, but after they
had passed away the _Regime Donum should cease. He be-
lieved that, if this grant were got rid of, Presbyterianism
would increase and flourish in the North of Ireland.
Mr. CROSSLEY said he had very great pleasure in
seconding the motion, because he believed that that was
the best made of settling the long-vexed question of the
Regium Donum. They did not propose to interfere with
vested interests, but they merely asked, that after the
death of the present incumbents no more grants should
be mado. He thought the hon. member for Mentromo had
clearly shown that it was not for the benefit of these mini-
sters*:that these grants should exist. He believed there
was a strong feeling against these grants in support of re-
ligion, and he trusted the house would when they came to
them reject them.
Mr. CONOLLY rose to move an amendment to the hon.
gentleman's motion. It was as follows :—To leave out the
words after Regime Donum, for the purpose of substituting
these words—" Should no longer be exposed to the annual
criticism of this house, but having been duly sanctioned by
the house for a lengthened period, it ought to be placed on
the Consolidated Fund." (Laughter from members at the
back seats of the Treasui y benches.) Hon. gentlemen did
not seem to understand this question, and he begged to
quote a statement of the late Sir Robert Peel, who, in re-
ply to a question from Sir Robert Inglis, said that he was
anxious to place the clergy of the Presbyterian Church in
Ireland on as permanent a financial footing as the clergy
of the Established Church and the Roman Catholic
Church. This being so he felt he was justified in bring-
ing forward his amendment to the motion of the hon.
member for Montrose. He complained that a Scotch and
English member should thus interfere with the Presby-
terian Church in Ireland ; and in answer to the opinion
of Lord Castlereagh, as quoted by the hon. gen-
tleman, he begged to say that the opinion of
Lord Castlereagh's father, who was himself a
Presbyterian, was decidedly in favour of the continuance
of the Regime Demon, both upon the grounds of justice
and policy. He denied that the Presbyterian congrega-
tions had fallen off; on the contrary, they had increased,
and they were ten times more in number than they were
in the time of William the Third. The grant in question
was given from motives of high policy, and the Presbyte-
rians felt it an injustice to them that this subject should be
thus constantly brought under the consideration of the
house by hon. gentlemen who knew nothing whatever of
the state of feeling in the North of Ireland. He begged to
move the amendment which he had read to the house.
Mr. DAWSON. in seconding the amendment, also com-
plained of hon. members unacquainted with Ireland at-
tempting to legisl ate in respect of this question of the Re-
gime Donlon, the origin of which was coeval with the
settlement of Ireland. Now this was compensation for the
losses the ministers had sustained by giving up their part
of the tithes, and it was but just to continue it to them.
(Hear.) A deliberate contract had been entered into be-
tween the Presbyterians and the State, and that contract
ought to be strictly observed. (Hear.) One thing he re-
marked, that when the annual onslaught was made in this
house upon the Regium Dement by hon. gentlemen who
were opposed to that endowment, the Secretary of State for
Ireland, of whatever Government he was a member, always
rose in his place and did justice to the loyalty and order
which distinguished the Presbyterians ; and it was further
remarkable, that wherever they were congregated in massed
population, there was little necessity there for the presence
of police. He thought, looking at the position which the
Presbyterians occupied, that the Regime Denton, instead
of being made the subject of an annual vote, ought to be
placed upon the Consolidated Fund. (Hear, bear.) He
found that of the 105 members for Ireland in that house
only two of them recorded their votes against this endow-
ment, and that the Roman Catholics to a man had always
voted in favour of it, and for its continuance. He depre-
cated very strongly those displays of religious animosity,
send he trusted that better feeling would prevail among mem-
bers of the different denominations of religion. For his part,
he should oppose the motion of the hon. member for Mon-
trose.

The SPEAKER then read the original motion and the
amendment, and
Mr. CARDWELL, amid loud cries of "Divide," rose.
He saw that the house was impatient for the division ; but
before they proceeded to that extreme, he ventured to ex
press a hope that the hon. member for Donegal (Mr. Conolly)
would not persist in pressing his amendment. His
hon. friend the member for Montrose (Mr. Baxter), who
moved the original motion, had raised three grounds of
objection to the grant. The first of them, of a financial
character, spoke for itself, the only question being, whether
the conditions involved were worth £IO,OOO a-year. The
second objection of the hon. member to the grant was,
that it was universally objected to. Now, it should not be
forgotten that when the Presbyterians first went to Ire-
land they were placed in possession of benefices. At the
time of the Commonwealth, because they refused to take
the oath of obedience to the Commonwealth, they were
sentenced to transportation to Tipperary—a very severe
sentence at that time. (Laughter.) The boats were ready
at Carrickfergus to convey them to their destination,
when, according to history, Henry Cromwell, who was of a
mild temper, and who was sent over to deal with them,
gave them an easier time of it; but he remonstrated with
them for not changing their allegiance, on the ground that
they were then in the enjoyment of £lOO a-year at least
from the Government; but they told him they gave him
no thanks for that, for it was but poor compensation for the
tithes they had given up. The right hon. gentleman then
went historically through the particulars of the grant from
the time when Charles 11. originally conferred it upon the
Presbyterians down to 1803, when a special arrangement
was entered into respecting it by the House of Commons.
Having referred to the authority of Dr. Chalmers in favour
of religious endowments, he concluded by expressing a hope

that the house would support the grant, on the same prin-
ciple that the Maynooth grant was agreed to.
Mr. CONOLLY expressed his readiness to withdraw that
part of his amendment which referred to allocation of the
grant, but intimated that he would, on a future occasion,
bring in a bill on the subject, and bring the question to a
final decision.

The amendment was then put and negatived without a

division.

The house then divided upon the original motion, when
he numbers were—
For the motion • 5B

Majority .. —ls9
COUNTY CORONERS.

Mr. COBBETT moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the law relating to the election, the duties, and
mode of pay of coroners. A committee had sat upon the
subject, and examined it in all its bearings, and it was
their opinion that a bill of this description should be
brought in. It was not his intention at that stage to
trouble the house by going into the details of the measure,
but it contained six provisions, founded prim ipally on their
recommendations. In the clause respecting jurors indif-
ferently summoned, he found there would be a difficulty in
adhering to the views of the committee, and he therefore
altered it. That, however, could be altered or modified
when the bill went into commitee. The right hon. gentle-
man the Secretary of State for the Home Department had a
bill on the paper referring to the same subject, and he
(Mr. Cobbett) wished both bills to be set down for discus-
sion on the same day.
Sir G. C. LEWIS had no objection to the bill of the hon.
and learned gentleman being introduced, and should place
his bill on the orders the same day for discussion. He was,
however, no convert to the proposed recommendation of
paying coroners by salary instead of fees.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
GUNBOATS.

Sir F. SMITH moved for the appointment of a select I
committee to inquire into the cause which produced so
much damage to the gunboats at Portsmouth. The Go-
vernment, he believed, did not intend to oppose his mo-
tion, but after what had occurred, and especially the publi-
cation of Messrs. Green's letter, it was necessary he should
make a few observations.
The hon. and gallant officer was proceeding with his
statement when an hon. member moved that the house be
counted, and there being but 29 members present, tho
house adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock.

On assembling at the post, King of Diamonds, Nana
Sahib, and Sparrowhawk broke away, and after three other
attempts to get them together, the " King" being always
impatient to get off in the front rank, the signal was given
for an admirable start. Precursor showed in advance, but
the horses had scarcely settled into their stride when Des-
mond took up the running, followed in the order named by
Tyrant, Eskdale, and King of Diamonds, M. Phillipe and
Clydesdale lying off. Desmond held his lead until round-
ing the Tattenham turn, where Gaspard showed with the
leaders, and both Gallus and Clydesdale began to creep
forward. At the distance the three placed separated
themselves from the ruck, and ran a very exciting race
home. Gallus, swerving from the middle to the lower
side of the course, and getting up in the last stride, beat
Clydesdale, whom all people, until the number went up,
thought had won, by a head; a neck separating the second
from the third ; Eskdale was a bad fourth, and close up to
him were Precursor, Tyrant, and M. Phillipe. The Flutter
colt was beaten off some distance.

him at the stand, and ran home an easy winner by three
lengths; same between the second and third; bad fourth,
Rupert, who ran wide, headed the next lot, which with the

Certainly the attendance of a vast number of people at
Epsom was properly described by Lord Palmerston as •
" wholesome custom." The weather yesterday was enough
to put new spirit and hope into everyone, and the broad
sunshine contrasted most strikingly with the heavy atmo-
opere and the driving sleet which were witnessed here
during the spring meeting.
