THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1835.

reason it was that he called upon every member of that House,
whatever his party or political sentiments, to pause upon the
vote he was about to give. He asked the Noble Lord, even
at this moment, when one at least of the institutions of the
country was attacked openly by this very resolution, to for-
get all party differences, and consent to withdraw it.—(lro-
nical cheers, and a slight laugh from the Opposition.) He
made this request to the Noble Lord, because he believed
that the Church of. Ireland was attacked by the resolution,
and because be also sincerely believed that to the maintenance
of the Established Church of Great Britain, and of the other
institutions of the country, they could best look for the pro-
tection of the liberties and religion .of the people.—( Cheers. )
Sir J. HOBH Oli SE, as soon as the noise occasioned by
Members entering the House enabled him to proceed, said= I
can assure the House that it is with great reluctance that I
venture to trespass'upon their attention on this occasion, and
that I feel far from certain that I shall be able to do so with
any adequate effect, after the very able speech of the Hon. and
Learned Solicitor-General.—( Cheers.) I cannot help con-
gratulating the Government, and congratulating the House,
upon his accession. I cannot help congratulating the House
upon the speech they have just heard—a speech which shows
that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to great forensic talents
adds all that power which a man who aspires to eloquence and
station ought to possess before he takes the very high de-
gree which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has attained.
—(Cheers.) And, if I may be permitted to add one word,
in this place, Sir, I must say, that the Learned Gentleman
has aspired to very high ground indeed, for he has grap-
pled completely with this question. He alone, as far as I am
able to understand, has stated most broadly, that his opinion
plainly is, that if you agree to this resolution, you do in fact
infringe upon all the laws, not only of public, but, by analogy,
of private property ; that, in fact, you cannot touch the
Church of Ireland without touching the Church of England
also—without touching upon property in general ; and, by
inference, if the State should think it necessary, private pro-
perty also. Sir, that is the assertion of the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman ; and I must say, that I should have been better
pleased with his very eloquent and able address, bad I not hap-
pened to hear, at the close of that address, something- some-
what unworthy the character and talents of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman. I thought, Sir, that in the concluding
part of that speech I did hear something like an attempt to
ring the old alarm bell in our ears—( Tremendous cheering)—
an act which by this time I should have thought too con-
temptible for a .man of character and talent to perform.
The Learned Gentleman attempted to ring the old alarm
bell—that alarm bell, Sir, which, had it frightened the man
who made him, had it frightened the Right lion. Baronet
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would never have been
in the position in which he now stands, or have been aLle to
bring forward the high talents of his Learned Solicitor-Gene-
ral —(Loud cheers.) What, Sir, 'is it come to this ? Is a
great debate upon a subject which has hitherto been dealt
with something like a regard to reasoning, at last to
dwindle into nothing but a miserable and filthy appeal to the
vilest, the lowest of all human passions? Arc we to be terri-
fied out of what we think our duty, and to be told that be-
cause at the eleventh hour we at last have ventured
to do justice to a great nation—not our enemy, not even our
ally, but a part and parcel of this great empire—that we
are to be restrained and deterred by the fear of what
is almost a byword? When we at last venture to come
forward and attempt the settlement of this great ques-
tion, can the Learned Gentleman, with all his talent
and all his learning and all his resources, drawn both from
law and reason, do nothing more than tell ye that ye are not
to do this, for if you do you will light up the old flame in
England—the old cry of the year 1807—( Great cheering)—
the old cry which for so long prevented the settlement of
the Catholic question—which for so long deprived men' of
sense in this country of their best power of action, and conti-
nued to be an obstacle to the foundation not only of good go-
vernment, but of any government at all 7—( Renewed cheer-
ing.) I must venture to say that another reason com-
pelled me to rise, on this the only occasion of my in-
truding myself upon the House since I have been a mem-
ber of it—l mean since the commencement of the present
session of Parliament—l have heard various taunts thrown
out against the late Government—l mean my Lord Mel-
bourne's Cabinet—as if it were a Cabinet tried, found want-
ing, and condemned, against which the people of England
had passed a verdict after a fair trial had been granted to
them.—( Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman knows as well
as I do, that this is a topic that cannot fairly be indulged
upon—not only on this, but in any debate on any subject.
He knows perfectly well, that although it may suit him in
his conjectures to say that the late Cabinet were not suffi-
cient for the exigencies of the people of England, still they
certainly—happily, perhaps, for their own fame—happily, per-
haps, for their future prospects of benefiting their country—
were not brought to the same test as the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's opposite have been brought to.—( Loud cheers.) They
were not brought to the same test. They did not make the
same appeal to the people ; nor did that people, on an appeal
being made to them, express an opinion which the Hun. and
Learned Gentleman, and his Right Hon. Friends must by this
time have discovered to be no trivial or unimportant one.—
(,Loud cheers.) I beg leave to observe, also, let the
Learned Gentleman and others say what they may, that
I firmly believe that the Members of the late Cabinet
meant honestly by the King and honestly by the people ;
that they had nothing to fear from the Parliament ; and
that, if they had met that Parliament again, they would
have done their duty, not only to the country, but to the satis-
faction of the country.—(Loud cheers.) It is very true that
they had to encounter great difficulties. They were aware of
those difficulties—they knew them well— but, at any rate,
even to have escaped from them, they would not have com-
promised any one of their opinions—(Tremendous cheering)—
they would have deserted no party ; they would not have tried,
by any means, justifiable or not, to catch hold of any stray
votes, and waverers on this or that occasion ; and, Sir, as the
best proof of this, I can only say that which is known to my
late colleagues—that we were determined, had his Majesty
been pleased to continue us in his service, to have come
down to Parliament with a measure based on this great
principle. Let the Learned Gentleman call it confiscation
if he likes—l call it a measure of justice ; the country
will deem it such. The Parliament will, by their vote of
to-morrow, confirm it to be such, and at least justice will
be done, I hope and believe, to that Cabinet and to that
Government who, with motives unsullied and unquestioned,
as far as I know, intended to bring forward, for the re-
lief of the people of Ireland, a proposition for the
settlement of this great question. I certainly cannot contend
with the Learned Gentleman on a point of law. I do not
know that I can contend with him on any point whatever ; but
he has laid down a rule from which he says it is impossible that
any man of learning or reason can dissent—namely, that the
property of the Church of England in England, or of the
Church of England in Ireland, was originally so settled and
so given, that it must be in its nature and for ever inalienable.
I really thought that this question had been settled long ago ;
I thought that even the pamphlet which I saw the Chancellor
of the Exchequer reading just now had rendered the subject
so clear that any man who was able to take part in an ordinary
debate would at once say, that for any person to get up in his
place now-a-days, and assert that Church property in itself
was venerable, and could not be- touched, even by Act of
Parliament, except by shaking the very foundations of society
itself, would be an attempt to bring back—l can hardly
say to bring back, for it is an opinion that has never
yet been entertained to my knowledge—( Hear, hear)—but
to refer to principles which, if they were carried into ge-
neral practical effect, would be ruinous and destructive of the
advancement and progress of society.—(Loud cheers.) The
Hon. and Learned Gentleman will excuse me for reading a
most eloquent passage, from a most eloquent, though very
common, and, I dare say, elementary writer? It is, of all the
beautiful passages of his most beautiful work, perhaps, the most
perspicuous, and as I think, decisive. Mr. Justice Blackstone,
in the Bth chapter of his 4th book, has this passage :—" As in
matters of faith and morality, they (meaning the Church of
England, the hierarchy, and all the establishment of the Church
of England) acknowledge no guide but the Scriptures, so, in
matters of external polity and private right, they derive all
their title from the civil Magistrate. They look up to the King
as their head—to him as their lawgiver ; and they pride them-
selves in nothing more justly than in seeing true members
of the Church—emphatically—' as by law established.' "
Why, Sir, this authority shows to me clearly that the
Church of England—and if the Church of England in Eng-
land, of course the Church of England in Ireland—also is
emphatically the offspring and child of the law, and that the
parent may deal with that child.—( Loud cheers from the Op-
position, and a cry of " Oh, oh !" from the Ministerial side of
the House.) Is the Hon. Gentleman incapable of under-
standing a common argument ?—( Cheers.) I am not pre-
tending to state a fact ; I am layinc, before the House the au-
thority of Blackstone ; and what I mean to say is, that the
natural deduction from that authority is, that the Church of
England and its Establishment is the child of the law ; and
that as the law has made it, so the law may deal with it.—
(Cheers.) Why, Sir, can this be doubted? Has it been
doubted in any civilized Christian society? I believe not. I
have read communications on the subject, and am not aware
that in any country under the sun it has ever been doubted
that the Church Establishment is the creation of the law.—
( Hear.) I am not speaking of the spiritual concerns of the
Church, but of the temporalities; and I cannot help thinking
that Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and the Learned Gen-
tleman more particularly, when he mixes up the temporalities
of the Church so much with its spiritual concerns, ie not doing
iustice to the institution. It was very well stated by the
Noble Lord, the Member for Nottinghamshire, that it was
I very possible that the too great prosperity of the tempo-
ralities of the Church may interfere with its spiritual be-
nefits.--(Cheers.) A great many authorities have been in
the course of this debate—from Bacon, I believe, down to
the pamphlet the. Right Hon. Baronet holds in his hand. I find
that Bishop Watson, in a common letter dated in 1798,
says—" If the tithes of that country (meaning Ireland)
must still remain with the Protestant Clergy, the Catholics
should be paid from the public treasury."—( Hear, hear.)
He put it hypothetically-44 If the tithes." Why, Sir, I
suppose he had as high a notion of the real value of
the Church Establishment, and of its sacredness, as
the Learned Gentleman himself, and yet in his time it
was not thought sacrilege, it was not considered a profanation
of the ark of God, as it were, to interfere with the tempora-
lities of the Church when such interference was considered
necessary for the good of the State---( Cheers)—and here I
must take the liberty to state that I think the real question at
issue is not the distribution, nor a new mode nor a better mode
'of collecting, but that the point of improvement, if improve-
ment it really be, is whether or not you intend that the Ca-
tholics of • Ireland shall understand that they are the participa-
tors to a certain degree in the advantages derivable from an
establishment they now consider altogether hostile to them ?-
-((Cheers.) It appears to me, that so long as you leave this
question unsettled, you;never.will be able, and never can hope,
to reconcile the Establishment to the Catholics of Ireland.

• We have heard a great many details to-night. Supposing
them to be true ; supposing only that there are fourteen Ca-
tholics to one Protestant to be accurate—can we imagine that
the' present Protestant Church Establishment will be satisfac-
tory to the people of Ireland ?—( Loud cheers.) I cannot
imagine how the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite can reconcile
it to his sense of justice; and I am quite sure, that the more
this question is inquired into, the more the House of Com-
mons will find that there is only one way of arriving at a sa-
tisfactory conclusion. You have tried force in Ireland;
force has failed. You have tried the law ; the law has
failed. Private charity, public benevolence—all have failed.
There is only one thing wanting, and that is an acknow-
ledgement that henceforward this enormous establishment shall
be proportioned to the spiritual wants of the people ; and that
if there be any surplus, that surplus shall be applied to gene-
ral purposes. My Right Honourable Friend, the Member for
Cumberland ( Sir James Graham), said last night that larger
promises bad been made and violated—that the Catholics of
Ireland had said—" If you pass the Relief Bill, you shall have
peace in Ireland." Now I ask my Right Hon. Friend whether
because that measure has not produced all the good results
which the promoters of it, and he amongst them, anticipated,
he would refuse his assent to it now, supposing the question to
arise over again under present circumstances ? I cannot help
thinking that the tone of my Right Hon. Friend's speech of
last night would have rendered it equally convincing against
any reforms whatever" —( Loud and continued cheering.) He
undoubtedly expressed his regret at being severed from the
late Ministry, but he certainly took a very singular mode of
telling us how fond he was of them.—( Cheers and laughter.)
I cannot help thinking that he was pursuing much the same
course as the Learned Gentleman, and that instead of treat-
ing the subject as if he were speaking to rational men,
he spoke as if he thought we were to be convinced by that
argument, the force of which the merest tyro in reasoning
readily perceives, and which refers very strongly to the
palpitation of our pockets.—( Cheers and laughter.)
cannot help suggesting to my Right Honourable Friend
that it was in consequence of the unfortunate course he and
the Noble Lord adopted, that the country is now reduced to
its present condition ; and that had not my Right Hon. Friend
and the Noble Lord the Member for Lancashire unfortu-
nately separated from Lord Grey's Government, the country
would at this moment have been governed by a stable and
enlightened administration. He thought, I have no doubt
conscientiously, that it was necessary for him to withdraw,
and the consequence is, that we are, at this very moment,
governed by an Administration which—without any personal
disrespectful allusion—certainly, politically speaking, has
turned out wholly unequal to the task.—( Great cheering.)
The Right Honourable Gentleman, the Paymaster of the
Forces ( Sir Edward Knatchbull), and other Gentlemen who
have spoken on the same point, had said, " If you turn out
the present Government, are you provided with a substi-
stitute ?" Why, Sir, I really do not think that is our con-
cern.—( Loud cheers and laughter.) The Right Honourable
Gentlemen opposite must excuse me for saying, that, consider-
ing the circumstances under which the late Government were
turned out, they are the very last people in the world who have
the most remote right to ask such a question—(Renewed
cheering.) I think we might with much greater propriety
ask them how they came to think they were provided with a
Government—such a Government as, after an appeal to the
people, could not ensure them one majority in the House of
Commons—(Tremendous cheers) ? Again, considering the
very easy mode in which I should suppose—judging of course
from what I see—Governments are put together, if I may be
allowed to form an opinion upon the subject, I should certainly
say that it was no very difficult task—( Cheers and laughter).
I could select out of the Honourable Members present
fifteen gentlemen—fifteen I three fifteens—who (I will
make no invidious comparisons) might constitute three or
four Governments, any one' of which would certainly do as
well as the Right Honourable Baronet's—( Loud cheers.)
After a very few remarks on the speech of Sir Edward
Knatchbull, the Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded as follows :
What the Right lion. Gentleman the Paymaster of the
Forces said amounted, in fact, to this—" You are a faction—
you have just been turned out of the Government, and you
wish to turn us out in our turn." Why, Sir, I really do not
know that we have any very great reason to be discontented
with our present situation—(immense cheering)—because, in
the first place, we are the Government--(renewed cheer-
ing, prolonged for some minutes)—though not in name, in
fact. There has not been a single question yet carried against
us ; not one—not a single question.--( Cheers.) [Here
Lord John Russell, we believe, made some suggestion to the
Right Hon. Gentleman,. who immediately resumed.] Yes,
exactly. My Noble Friend reminds me that we not only
carry on the Government in this House, but are the Exe-
cutive Government also ; at least, if we have not a po-
sitive, we have something like a negative vote on Go-
vernment appointments out .of this House--(protracted
cheering.) So, Sir, setting aside the mere odd
trivial, and insignificant circumstance of our not sitting on
that (pointing to the Ministerial) side of the Speaker's chair,
I really do not see what it is we have to quarrel with in our
present situation. The air is freer here---( Great laughter)—
decidedly purer ; I was accustomed to inhale it for the first
f,ourteen years of any political life, and I say, most sincerely,
that I prefer it most decidedly. lam not fond of dancing in
chains, and I therefore say,- very-unaffectedly, that I prefer
this side of the House.--( Cheers from the Opposition,
"Oh 1" from the Ministerial benches.) I repeat, prefer it ;
and when the Right Hon. Baronet has been there a few days
longer, he will prefer it too.—( Lengthened cheering.) Why,
what is there to make our present situation disagreeable ? We
retired from oface, or rather, in plain terms, we were dis-
missed—(Laughter)—without, as I have ever yet learnt, any
formal notice, without any complaint against us ; neither the
King nor the country made any complaint, that I have
yet heard of, against us—we sacrificed no part of
our character—we made no compromise—( Cheers)--we
altered no determination—we belied no principles—we did
not in any way compromise our public actions; and I trust
that when we did retire, or at least when we were dismissed
from—( Laughter)—his Majesty's councils, we preserved that
without which no man can act beneficially for his country,
or honourably for himself—l mean our character.—(Loud
cheers.) We preserved that integrity about us which ought
to belong to the character of every public man, and with-
out which all talents, all experience, all station, all the smiles
of a Court, all popularity, are vain and frivolous.—( Loud
cheers.) I have to beg pardon of the House most sincerely
for trespassing on their attention so long, or for trespassing
further ; but I cannot help thinking that my Right Hon.
Friend, very unintentionally I have no doubt, but certainly
most grossly, misrepresented what was said by my Noble
Friend with respect to the repeal of the Union. The Hon.
and Learned Gentleman says that my Noble Friend advo-
cated the repeal of the Union, and that if the present mo-
tion failed, lie would become an advocate of that measure.
___(" No, no 1" from Mr. Follett) My Noble Friend said
no such thing.—( Hear, hear.) What he said was, that if
the Hmise granted the request uow made on behalf of
the Irish people—if the House acceded to the proposition, it
would cut away the ground from under the feet of those ho
had hitherto advocated the repeal of the Union ; but that, if
on the contrary, it did not accede to the proposition, it would
st ill leave the advocates of that measure the grounds upon which
they had hitherto stood; and although he himself was op-
posed to it, still that those who supported it would have some-
thing like a show of reason on their side.—( Hear, hear.)
That was the sense and meaning of what my Noble Friend
said, and I believe very nearly his very words.—(Hear.)
But I now come back to my original cause of complaint--
namely, that the Hon. Gentleman who spoke on the other
side of the question attempted to terrify the House and the
country into the idea that, not only shall we not be doing an
act of justice to the Irish people, but will be doing a posi-
tive injustice to the rest of the empire, if we accede
to this preposition—( Hear, hear, hear.) And that if we
lay down the principle that the funds now appropriated
to .the Church shall be appropriated to purposes of
utility, strictly connected with and analagous to ecclesiastical
purposes, and that we may fairly give away any superfluity, we
are sanctioning spoliation. I deny--as it has been denied by all
those who preceded me on this side of the House—that it is spo-
liation—( Cheers)—and not only do I deny it, but I say that if
you do not admit the principle, you are striking, and continue
to strike, at the root of all society, by sanctioning the notion
that you may continue to have a great state engine, main-
tained at a great expense, though, after an experience of
three hundred years, it has been found that it does not
contribute to the happiness' of the people for whose good
it is intended, merely on the principle that it is inviola-
ble, because you choose to call it so.—( Loud cheering.)
If this mode of proceeding continues, however ingenious
the arguments made use of in support of it may be—even
if fifty such Bills as that introduced by the Right Ho-
nourable Baronet be attempted, you will have to deplore
another and another failure—you will have Ministry after
Ministry, and unless you can come to a proper adjustment of
this, as I conceive, uncontrovertible principle, you will have to
lament having come to a decision in support of what I call a
false consistency-4 Hear, hear)—while you refuse to listen to
the suggestions of wisdom, and at the same time to accede to
the feelings and opinions not only of the greater portion of the
Members of this House, but of a great majority of the people
of the empire.—( Loud cheers, and cries of " Adjourn.")
Mr. E. L. BLILWER and Mr. GOULBURN then rose, but the
SPE AKER having called upon Mr. Bulwer, that Gentleman
moved the adjournment.

AMERICAN MORALS.—III some of the States,
gentlemen and ladies seem to take leases of each other. Di-
vorces are alarmingly common. Whether on the g3•ounds of
policy or religion, a system of legal divorces, for any cause
but one, must soon excite the reprobaticn of every moral or
pious citizen of the States.

BLIND LEADERS.--A farmer of Sutton, North-
amptonshire, has the following team :—Fore horse, no eye ;
shaft horse, one eye ; carter, one eye ; dog, one eye ; cat,
blind ; a captain in the house, one eye; and by some " unto-
ward event" the Mistress has just set up a pair of black ones;
and yet they are called sharp-sighted folks.

EARLY TIIRUSII —Notwithstanding the particu-
larly boisterous state of the weather, until within the last few
days, there is in the garden of Robert Southey, Esq., Kes-
wick, a thrush's nest, containing four eggs, upon which the
parent bird was observed about a week ago, (March 21St) to
have commenced the act of incubation.
