OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.
Sir ANDREW AGNEW presented about a dozen Peti-
tions from Sir,sex, Derby, awl various parts of the country,
praying fo': some legislative enactment for the better Observ-

ea-ly next Session he should again have great satisfaction in
moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the better Observance
of the Lord's Day, and for the protection of all classes of his
Majesty's subjects in the observance of their religious duties.
Mr. POTTER begged to observe that many of these peti-
tions bad very few signatures, and it was evident they did not
speak the sense of the parishes from which they professed to
come.

Sir A. AGNEW had been assured by the respectable gen-
tlemen by whom they had been forwarded to him for presenta-
tion, that they were signed by all classes—high and low.
Mr, POTTER—Then the parishes must contain a very
limited population.
COURT OF ADMIRALTY, (IRELAND.)
Mr. EIIMERSON TENNANT had a most important
petition to present from the Chamber of Commerce of Bel-
fast, relative to the improper detention of a Danish vessel, and
complaining of the proceedings of the Court of Admiralty in
Ireland. A similar petition had been presented a short time
since by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.
The Hon. Member entered into the details of the case, which
were the same as detailed by Mr. O'Cpnell on the former oc-
casion. The vessel having got upon the shore, a per-
son forced himself on board, in order, as he said, to
render assistance—the only thing he did was to cut the
hawser, which did more damage than bad been done befo:e.
For his services, he claimed salvage to the amount of 1401.
That demand was resisted, and the ship was detained
for upwards of a month, at an expense of 151. per day,
when the Court of Admiralty decided that the party
claiming had right to no more than was paid int 6 Court.
That was an infamous proceeding, considering the circum-
stances the vessel was driven in, and if no other person early
in the next Session took up the matter for the amendment of
the proceedings in the Court of Admiralty in Ireland, he
would bring in a Bill upon the subject.
Mr. CR A.WFORD and Mr. RUTHVEN supported the
prayer of the petition, and trusted the Hon. Member would
persist in his intention.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS' BILL.
Mr. VERNON presented a petition from the Proctors of
the Ecclesiastical Court of York, complaining of the Attorney-
General's Ecclesiastical Courts' Bill. He had the honour of
being a Judge of that Court—(Hear)—and he could assure
the House it was no sinecure, and whatever he felt to be his
incapacity for the situation, such was not the feeling of the
county of York and the northern counties, all of which would
violently oppose the Bill.
