as be had-had no opportunity of ascertaining that

The nttition was crlered to lie on the table.
Tire Hon. C. HurrOnissoN, in presenting a pe-
tition from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of
the County and City of Cork, praying for relief
from civil, disabilities, said, that the present sys-
teM was an insult and oppression ; it created di-
vision in the country ; it was destructive of the
inierests of that count' ruinous to the peace
and stability of the'Etyipiv. The Roman Catho-
lics, in the solemn approach which they were
about to make to Parliiiment for a repeal of the
Cole of Laws which disgraced the age, had the
greatest confidence in the wisdon't of Parliament,
and particularly of this new Pat liament.
The Hon. Member presented another petition
front the Prot,stmas of C,,rk to the same effect.
-if any thiug like unanimity existed in the ca-
pital against the Runt-in Catholic Claims, it ought
not to he announced to the House upon conjec-
ture ; at an( rate, a contrary wish greatly pre-
dominated throughout the country. The Protes-
tants of Ireland telt that it vas not the cause of
a seer, but the pause of Ireland. They felt anxi-
oils to deliver their country front a system which
oppressed, insulted, degraded, divided, weakened
it. The meeting at which this petition was agreed
to, was presided over by a man whose public
character and private worth recinired no eulogy.

lion was agiecd

ST. IVES.
Mr. BaNKEs reported from the Select Commit-
tee on the St. Ice's Election petition, that Sir
Walter Stirling, Bart. was duly elected, and that
the petition was not frivolous and vexatious.
KING'S BENCH.
Mr. DENMAN moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to facilitate the dispatch of business in the Court
of King's Bench. The object of the Bill was two-
fold ; Ist, to allow the Judge who now sat in
the Court for the Justification of Bail, to pro-
ceed to the disposal of other business while the
other Judges sat in Banco.—The 2d was to em-
power the Judges to pass sentence on convictions
at the Assizes, without having the parties brought ,
up at he succeeding term. He should also pro-
pose a clause to empower the Court to sit on the
30th January, which by law it could not now do.
lie begged. to guard against any misconception
of his motives in introducing the present measure,
so far as it could be supposed to convey any im-
putation against the Learned Personages presid-
ing its that Court. His own impression was, that
they did too much for the public, and that more
was lost than gained by the facilities affotded to
overload the business in the Court.—Leave
granted.
Leave was granted to General GASCOIGNE to
bring in a Bill to Repeal the Act of the 21st of
James 1. for avoiding vexatious delays caused by
removing Actions and Suits out of Inferior Courts.
The Bill was then brought in, read a first tune,
and ordered to be read a second time on Friday
next.

'SINKING FUND.
Mr. P. Gamaygu, rose to move for the produc-
tion of certain Accounts to enable the House to
judge how tar it may be expedient to apply the
Sinking Fund of the year, or any part of it, to-
wards any loan to be raised for the public service,
As be had stated last night, he would abstain
from entering into any discussion on the subject ;
first, because the Right Hon. the Chancellor of
the ExCheqaer, who had no objection to the mo-
tion, w4is absent, and next, because it was un-
derstood that no proposition connected with the
financial arrangements of the country would
he submitted to the consideration of that Moose
aintil after the Bank Committee had made
their Report. The House would, however, allow
him to state, that by a clause in the 26th
or the Icing, commonly called the Sioking Fund
Act, the Commissioners for the- management of
the public debt were authorised to lay out the
produce of the Sinking Fund by becoming sub-
scribers to any loan which aright be ;at negociii-
tion for the public service. This clause was called
Fox's Clause, having been proposed by that gen-
tleman—a proposition in which Alr. '‘'itt at once
acquiesced. The House would then see what
would be the effect of the operation of that clause
in reference to any loan that might now be re-
quired. 'He himself had no knowledge of the par-
ticulars, • except from public report. He had
heard that day in the city various rumours as to
the amount. It was stated by some to be
eighteen, by others, twenty or twenty-five mil-
lions. Supposing the amount of the Loan •to be
18,000,000/. and the clause he alluded to, to be
acted upon, the result would, be, that as they
learned from the Report of the Finance Com-
mittee presented yesterday, that the amount of
the Sinking Fund for the last year was 15,000,0001.
the Chancellor of the E;:cheqoer could get to that
amount from the Commissioners, and have only
to look for the residue of 3,000,0001. in the City.
If, however, the amount of the Loan was for
`25,000,0001., he would have only to borrow in the
same quarter 10,000,0001. These were the only
t.bserv.stions he bad to offer on the subject :
:hould, however, any thing be stated in answer

which required explanation on his part, he trust-
ed he should be allowed the opportunity. lie
concluded with moving for the production of cer-
tain accounts, sheaving the produce of the Sink-
ing li'und from the 15th of June, 1816.—Or-
dcred.

Catholic Claims. The Hon. Member was under-
stood to say, that though he Mere(' with them in
opinion on the subjr,ct, yet, from their individual
character and public situations, he felt them to be
entitled to full consideration. •
TtEaNey wished to know whether that
