NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE; iVIA RC II 3.—The

BAILEY did not arrive in this town till seven o'clock this
evening, when he immediately proceeded to open the Com-
missions in both Courts. The Eight Worshipful the
Mayor of Newcastle (BENJAMIN Soasilm, Esq.) enter-
tained his Lordship at theMansioiaonse 'afterwards, ac-
cOrding3o;aAtent custeitk,' there being present several of

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 4.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his mat at five
o'clock.

Lord DUNDAS presented petitions from Protestant
Dissenters, assembling for religious worship in Oldfield
Chapel, city of London, from a tow❑ in Yorkshire, and
from Whitchurch, and Llangalin, in the county of Salop.
Lord KING presented a petition signed by a large body
of the Roman Catholics of Ireland against the Sub-Letting
Act. Ile know nothing of the Act, but as the petition had
been sent to him, he had no hesitation in presenting it.—
It was right for him to observe, however, that his general
impression, made by what he had heard from persons ac-
quainted with this Act, and its modus operandi, was that it
was an act calculated to do good ; it might in some or even
in many parts want altering and amendment, but on the
whole he certainly understood it to be calculated to pro-
duce good rather than evil effects.
Lord KING had also another petition to present from
the same body of Catholics who had signed the one he had
first presented, but as,lhat petition made use of strong
terms agOnat the Irish.P.stabl ished Church, he was unwilling
to introduce it to the notice of the House in the absence of
all the Reverend Prelates of Ireland. He had, indeed, not
observed any of them in their seats during these Sessions,
but if he thought one of them would appear on Monday,
he would then present the petition, which he thought ought
to be done in the presence of those best able to defend the
Church.

Lord CLIFDEN presented a petition from the Roman
Catholics of Agbadoe, in the county of Mayo, in favour
of the claims of the Roman Catholics.

Sir A. GRANT brought up a message from the House

Lord TEYNHAIIf moved that a message should be sent

The motion having been seconded, it was passed.
The House adjourned at twenty minutes past Five.

and asked whether he, as the agent of Baron Robeck, com-
municated with Mr. Wilkinson, the agent of the Baroness
Robeck, and whether that Gentleman had not expressed
his readiness to accept the service of a copy of the Order
of the House, and an attested copy of the Bill for annul-
ling the marriage between Baron Robeck and Mary

on the Baroness.

of establishing her birthright. The petition was ordered

Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Whitby,

Mr. MOORE said he had a petition to present to. the
Houge via' the subject of the poor population of Ireland.
The petition was from the merchants, traders, and other
inhabitants of the city of Dublin, and it adverted in for-
cible terms to the state of distress which was expeiienced4in
the Southern and Western parts of Ireland, owing to the
want of employment. They suggested a plan to the con-
sideration of the House, which would not only afford
immediate relief to the sufferers, but also confer a benefit
upon the ,country. This plan was the formation of a
Southern Canal, to extend from Dublin to Mount Mellick,
in the Queen, County, and from thence to Mallow,
in the county of Cork, through the leading towns in the
west. Employment would thus be afforded in those places
where the population was' redundant, and relief meet
needful. The plan too had the advantage of not requiring
any funds which 'would tend to increase the burthens of
the Sies t

time to discuss either the propriety of the plan or
of the manner by which it was te' be carried into
execution, en of course an opportunity would be
taken for that hereafter. He had only stated this
much, not for the purpose of impressing the ?louse
with his view of the subject, but rather to call
the attention of those gentlemen to the measure who might
be disposed to take the' eubject into consideration, for the
purpose of affording them a larger. portion of time to make

After a few words from General OASCOYNE, the pe-
tition was brought up and read.
The SPEAKER said he felt some difficulty as to the
manner of disposing of the petition, as it did not pray for
public money. It prayed for money to be raised in Ire-
land, and to be applied in Ireland.
Mr. MOORE said, that the petition prayed fur a hitter)
to be drawn not in Ireland but in England.
Sir J. NEWPORT approved of the measure, as it was
calculated to give considerable employment to the unem-
ployed population of Ireland.—Ordered to be printed.

Scotland, the duties paid upen the same, the quantities
