belonged, by whatever name they might choose to call them-
selves, had always been the greatest enemies of Ireland. The
Hon. Gentleman had come down to-night to explain the
present position of the Irish Church, and had at-
tacked them for bringing the condition of that Church
before the public. He would not now stop to ascertain to what
the fact was to be attributed that the Church had not up to
the present time made one esnvert mere since the hour it was
planted. It might perhaps he owing to the maladministration
and mismana,Yernent of its funds. The Hon. and Learned
Gentleman asked them to have pity upon the poor Church of
Ireland, because it had only 81 pluralities.—( Hear, hear. )
He could not have believed that any Church could have found
a defender that had Po many.—(" Oh," and cries of " Hear,
hear " from Mr. Shaw.) He took a very different view of these
matters from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He told the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman how he, as a Roman Catholic, regarded
these things. The Hon. Gentleman took credit for the fact of
there only being 109 incumbents of the Church not being
in benifices, so that, according to the Hon. Gentleman's
own admission, one-fourteenth of the beneficed clergy of Ire-
land were absentees. They could have no better authority
for that fact than that of the champion of the Established
Church of Ireland. There perhaps might be an excuse for
the absenteeism in Ireland, because it so happened that in many
parishes in Ireland there was nut a single Protestant.—( Hear,
hear.) In the parish in which he resided snch was the case—
( Hear, hear)—and in the whole union there was not thirty
persons who attended the parish church.—( Hear, hear.) It
was monstrous that the motion of the Right lion. Member for
Sheffield, which only asked for a Committee of inquiry into
the state of this Church, should be refused by the Go-
vernment.—( Hear, hear.) He would not stop to offer
an opinion as to the manner in which such an announcement
would be received in Ireland. The policy of the Right Hon.
Baronet was a most dangerous policy.--( Hear, hear.) It was
never to leave a stand which he had taken until the tide came
and drove him back from his position. He, a Roman Catholic,
told the Right Hon. Baronet this. He was one of those whom
the Right Hon. Baronet had emancipated, but whose emanci-
pation he had through the greater part of his life bitterly op-
posed, and he stood there a living example that the policy which
the Right Hon. Baronet pursued for a great part of his life was
false and untenable.—( Hear, hear.) He was surprised to hear
it said that the Catholic peasantry paid no tithes. The instant
each tithe Bill had passed the landlords had raised the rents, on
the ground that they had to pay the tithes.
Mr. F. SHAW—They must get it in one way or another.
Mr. REDINGTON thought the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman seemed really to think that this question of the
Church in Ireland was only a question of pounds, shillings,
and pence. He wished to guard against its being supposed,
for one moment, that he wished to transfer the revenues of that
Church to the Itoman Catholics. If he thought that the
present motion would tend, even in the most indirect manner,
to the establishment of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland,
or to the payment of its clergy by the State, he would record
his vote against it.—( Cheers. ) He had not yet seen any
example in which the payment of a State Church had
ever tended to the benefit of the Church or the State.—
( Cheers.) It was vain to suppose that the Established
Church would long subsist in Ireland. Nothing that
resembled it would be found in an other country on
the face of the earth. While a niggardly grant of 50,0001.
a year only was made for the education of the people—while
that people were taxed to support the poor, was it not mon-
strous that they should be called upon to pay tithes for. the
support of this Church, in addition to the immense revenues
which it otherwise enjoyed. The cause of the Hon. Member
for Sheffield was the cause of justice, and although they
might oppose it successfully for the present, vet as sure as
there was Justice in Heaven, it must ultimately succeed.
Col. RAWDON moved the adjournment of the debate.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place, the adjournment of the debate having been
agreed to.

COUNTY RATES BILL.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved that the House resolve
itself into a Committee on this Bill, which after some discus-
sion was agreed to. 'The Bill passed through Committee and
the House resumed ; and the Bill was ordered to be reported
on Thursday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House, at Twenty Minutes after Twelve, adjourned till this
day ( Wednesday).

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

The following paragraph in a Sydney paper conveys
news from New Zealand, to Jan. 10 :
" Governor Fitzroy landed at Auckland on the 26th
December, and immediately took the oaths of office.
Two addresses, purporting to be from the natives of New
Zealand, but bearing internal evidences of having been
concocted by the land- sharks, were presented to the
Governor. Their principal topic is dissatisfaction at the
state of the land regulations, which the Governor pro-
mised to inquire into. Mr. W. Shortland, who has held
the difficult and unthankful office of Acting Governor
since Captain Hobson's death, had resigned his office of
Colonial Secretary, and been succeeded pro tem. by
a Dr. Sinclair. The Legislative Council met on the 9th
instant, when the Governor presented three short Bills ;
one for extending the Supreme Court by allowing the
apppointment of a judge at Wellington ; a Bill for in-
troducing grand juries, and allowing certain chiefs to
sit on them ; and a third for giving magisterial powers
over the native population in remote districts to certain
chiefs. It was expected that the passing of these Bill
would only occupy a short time, and his Excellency in
tended to sail in H.M.S. North Star, for Cook's Straits,
aboutthmels6uthre forins ti jrig
instant, and, on his return, would intro-
duce a eathe land claims."

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

lER MAJESTY'S SHIP CLEOPATRA.-MAS-

SACRE OF PART OF HER CREW.
An extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their
agent at the Cape of Good Hope, of the 16th April last,
throws some light upon the occurrence in which Lieute-
nant Molesworth and seven of the crew of her Majesty's
ship Cleopatra lost their lives, and of which certain par-
ticulars were given yesterday. From this it will be seen
that the natives were the aggressors, and that the me-
lancholy loss of life referred to occurred in the discharge
of a special act of duty, for irritated by detention and re-
pulsion in an endeavour to thieve, the two natives men-
tioned evidently instigated their countrymen to perpe-
trate the murder of eight persons who had offered them
accounts to have been very
no wrong, and were the last to imagine such an outrage.
prompt The nativesn
e a r appearcarrying
their
from all
horrible
execu-
tion. This is not the first act of the kind that has oc-
curred upon that coast, but' is peculiarly extraordinary
in this instance as being perpetrated upon the persons
of those to whom the natives of that part of the African
coast are indebted for strenuous exertions to suppress
the slave trade, and can only be explained from the
principle which instigates all uncivilised nations to the
commission of such barbarous usages.

‘ Cape of Good H4e, April 16, 1844.
"Her Majesty's ship Cleopatra has arrived in Simon's
Bay, having struck on a coral reef on the coast of
Midges on the 21st of March, and whilst weighing the
kedge-anchor (which had been used to warp her off) on
the 23d, Lieutenant Molesworth 'and seven men were
killed by the natives. This was brought on from two of
the natives having been forcibly turned from the boat
whilst endeavouring to steal some of the stores."
