IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock.
TITHE COMMUTATION:
Lord LYTTLETON presented a petition from the Rev.
Charles Miller, complaining of the provisions of the Tithe
Commutation Act, as injurious to the clergy.
EARL DUNDONALD'S INVENTIONS.

Lord I3ROUGHAM gave notice that he should on Thurs-
day next bring under the consideration of their Lordships the
inventions of a Noble Friend of his, Earl Dundonald.
The Noble Earl wished to represent to the House the great
expense he bad been put to in perfecting these inventions.
OATHS OF ROMAN CATHOLICS.

Lord STOURTON gave notice that on the day most conve-
nient to their Lordships, either on Friday or Monday, he pur-
posed to bring before their Lordships the construction of the
the Roman Catholic oath, and he stated to their Lordships what
he conceived to be the fair and honest meaning and construc-
tion of that oath. He should not treFpass too long OH their
Lordship? time if he was permitted for a few moments to call
their attention to some ctrcumstances connected with that oath.
He did not at all maan to try and influence or act upon that
opinion of their Lordships; but still he should say that he
thought there was quite enough to warrant him in bringing
in this Bill; and he therefore on Friday should call the atten-
tion of their Lordships to the mode in which the Catholic
oaths were censtruc t

The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition, praying
that the House would adopt such means as would secure the
spiritual education of the humbler classes.
Lord BEAUMONT wished to know when it would suit the
Government to bring forward the measure relating to the con-
solidation of the turnpike-trusts in England ?
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the matter should be
brought before the House either on Thursday or Friday:
Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition from Belfast, com-
plaining of the present state of Ireland. The petitioners
stated that they apprehended civil war, and that though
the [use of power might be effectual for the supprestion
of disorder, it could not remove discontent. They also
complained of the inefficient state of the represen-
tation of Ireland, as compared with that of England,
In conclusion, they prayed the House to adopt such measures
as were best calculated to avert the dangers now impending, and
to prevent the recurrence thereof.
