of an lion Cientleman elsewhere, who, although he was in

upon tor,
• USURY LAWS.
Enri GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Mer..
chants, Brokers, anti otheri of Liverpool,' praying the repeal of
the Usury Laws. With respect to the argument hi support of
the proposition for their repeal, he should remain silent, as he
conceived those of the, petitioners most convincing. In moving
thatthc petition be read, he shottid only say that this appeared
a time most fittitig for the removal of those restrictions ; he,
hoWever, hoped that if -repealed, that measure would be only
prospective; so as notto endanger of upset any arrangenients
which were now in existence.
The Earl of LIMERICK differed 'fiery Mitch limn the Noble
Earl as to this being a proper time for the effacing of such a
measure its that contemplated by the petitioners. Th2re was no
time more inapt, no time when such a measure was more likely
to be ruinous to the landed and commercial interest, who seem-
ed to be opposed to each other, although their interest* were in
reality the same. ' •
The petition was then read and laid on the table. -

formations against Illurphy anti Googan, who were implicated
in the charge for the murder of the. Frank's family in 1023.
ThO Earl-of LIVERPOOL had no objection to the motion,

ESTABLISHED cHown IN IRELAND.
The Earl of KINGSTON presenteda petition from the Pro.,
testant Intabitants of the Parish of Kilbenning, hi the County.
of Limerick, and Arelibishoprick. of Cashel, praying that a
Church should be erected in their *NI). The petitioners stat--
. ed, that they had applied to the Archbishop of Cashel, to re-
quire from the Board of First Fruits in Ireland, a sum for that
purpose, but their application had- not been complied with.-
4 They complained that-they belonged fir the Established Church
in Ireland, but that they knew aim- existence in their p.trish
only by the visits Of the tithe pioetor, who never tailed to re-
-mind them of it: that severalof..theif number, sooner than
not have any religion at all, wore obliged to attend Roman Ca-
tholic places of Worship, and reeeiie the sacrament after their
ntanner. That, while they dailysaw the Catholic Priests per-
, funning the most laborious duties, the petitioners had neither
Clergyman to attend, nor a house worship to go into, an('
claimed that, as they paid and rteagnisett the right to tithes,
.they should also- have tt return for thi sums thus taken from
them.

The Bishop of FERNS said, that the petitioners seemed to
be undej.4 mistake,' both as io the poWer of the Archbishop of
Cashel and those Of the Board of First Fruits. Front 'the state
of the country for the last three years, the ftinds of the Board of
First Fruits had not exceeded in the last year the aim of 20004
There was no money at their disposal upon the application Of
the Archbishop, and he was therefore fully excused -front any
neglect. There had been a similar application from a parish in
his (the Bishop of Ferns) diocese, in which there were five hun-
dred Protestants, which the Board of First Fruits were com-
pelled to refuse front the want of the means of corriplYing, with
it, and of course the erection of it church was postponed, There
bad been such a destruction of rburtfitca in Ireland, in the very
ankettled fifties which had occurred from 1315 to the Resttird-
tion, indeed up to the year 1709, that the sums at the.dieposal
of the Board of First Fruits, for their restoration, and for the
'Purchase of glebes, could not possibly, besuilicient. Ins Lord-
ship then referred tethe accounts of a legal Visitation held (we'
believe) in 10115, when in one diocese there were twenty churches
reported to be standing, and in 1715 there was only, one. _MC.
'akefield, in his Statistical Survey, a book much quoted,
stated that there.v.'cre four hundred benefices in Ireland which
had no glebe; and the fact really was, that there were fourteen
hundred parishes in Ireland which had no glebe. It Was true,
that formerly erery parish in Ireisnd had a glebe i • but from the
disturbed state of that country fin a long period during the
wars, the church property was not regarfied, the boundaries
were defaced, and. the only evidence left were the entrleli In the
King's books.• It. however happened that those entries were riot
evidence to prove inch it possession in the church es would en-
able it at the present day to swilled in action of ejectment.
'The Earl or KINOSTON luta, that as there was no tlind4,
there wits no allegation againkt the Archbishop of Cashel.
This,boweter, Was proved, that' the number of churches *ay
insuffiCient-in -the sotith' cif Ireland, end he would, thtrefore,
wove for an inquiry into the suate.of the cherches in that part of
the country.
The petition was then rend, which, in addition to the stint
nutty of it given in the Noble Earl'S speech, complained of the
union of parishes, which gave great benefice,: ofelergymen
never saw their flocks, end spent their money at a dishoice....4
Laid'on the table.

The Earl of KINGSTON then indented another Petition
from the itoman Catholics of the Mme pariah in support tit the
prayer of their Protestant neighboUrs. The petition stilted,
that front the good will and harmony Which existed between
the petitiOners ittul their Protestant brethren, they were anxious
that the former should have the benefit of their own teligiOn,
as from not being instructed 'in that of Alto petitioners, they
could not appreciate, so as to join in it: :-.That. they paid the
tithes as they were bound by law to do, WI regretted that by
the present system the mbney taken from Ahern MIS not spent

Kiwis of Vestries, to which. they were previously submitted-
Parishes had also been enabled to raise within themselves funds
for building or enlarging Churches ; . and whilst many
duals subscribed large sums for that purpose, Others maintained
ministers at their own expense, to instruct their slaves in re-
ligious matters. With respect to
.Barhadoci,• ne sooner had
the Biihop arrived, when he visited all the Lee Wed Islands,
and received from .nil their .Assemblietievery encatragement to
carry into effect the system which he had formed to give reli. •
glints instructions to the slaves. In nine pari4lie9; containing
317 plantations, one hundred and thirty of these were under
the religioui instruction of inifatirs of toe Church of England,
or of teachers acting under the Bishop'S authority. Minisr.
there was such a general disposition to instruct slaves • in reit.;
pious matters, he had seen, with deep regret, petitiona.eircu-:
lewd and presented to that House, in wineh it wets stated that
slavery was forbidden by, and incompatible with the Christian
Religion. He was not prepared to agtee in that Opinion. It
was not against the powers that were, nut-against the unchuri;
table eXercise of any power that-the injunctioni-of, thC. 'Gospel
were directed. But when the surest tiiundation of the tilutnate
übolition of slavery rested on Christian initruction,•wits it a
judiciOus argument, an ciusaging copaiderAtitin, a happy expe.
dient, to induce the planters to give religious fitstrUction to their
slaves, to tell them that if they embraced the Chtiktian Reli-
gion it would rteaeh them that dm power of their nristers was
an unjust and o:lawful one, however mildly it might be
ciscd ? Hating stated what hadbeen dune, :vat what lei't undone,
he should no* eltplain what cotirse• his Majesty's Government
intended to pursue. The resolutions embraced two .objects :
one the improvement of the condition of Slaves, the other the
gradual extinction of slavery, with a due regard to the cocoons
sations which might appear requisite. The Order in Council
embraced the first : it was 110 W intended to embrace tinder (lit'_
ferent lteads all that related to the protection of the person, the
property, the morals, religion, the admission to give evidence,
and the manumission of slaves, whether by consent or under
appraisement. When :-these measures should have passed the
Imperial Parliament, they would is: sent to the Colonial Goiern_
ments to be shaped in the manner most consonant with the
formic and laws already in force in those islands. ..They would
be thus separately and 'di4tinctly brdught tinder the'consideras
don of the various Colonial liegislatureS, in order to have their
opinion upon them, and that they might he adopted, frhered,
modified, or altogether rejected as they Might t link proper.•
That they should be rejected he did nut believe would be the
case, but if thet Were, it would then be for 'their Lordships'
merlons consideiation to tee What course they should adopt, in
order to cause them to be • carried into effect.. In the event of
their Lordships' concurring ih the presentreSolutions, they would
be sent to the Governors of die West India Islands. They hart
already melted she implied assent, they would-note have the
direct sanction of their Lordships, and the tithe which had
elapsed between those two stages would allow that they did not
prcirectl Profit the momentary emotion Which eloquence might
Create in Wpoptdar assembly, but frsim grave and serious
beration. The Noble Earl then movra that the !louse do agree
to the Itekilu dons.

Lord pAIiffIORPE had it painful titti:tito pcifilfrn in 0ft.,?...
log his opposition to the tithes w hick the Noble Secretary
had unhounced as being in cenitemplation. Hit objections to
'theM were less, however, than to part Of the Resolutionit coin-
.ltninicatett to die House. If the Colonial Legislatures had
shown a spirit of Unaccountable resistance to his Majesty'a Yu.
eernincnt; it did not proceed from the tune in Which the meastitea
had been recommended to them by the Noble Secretary. The
point which he Meant to ptess Upon the House, however, was
this: Whether, cOnsidering what was the system of slavery
proved to eXist, by the confession anilltingpge of the Menilierit
of the Colonial Assemblies thentSehes, and 'considering also the
general feelings of the country aint of Parliament; it became the
dignity of the House W adopt so Cold a mode of eipressing iti
sense of the obligation iindet Which it lay tti pin an end to that
sy !tt:11) as aueiely tOdedaretlik it Was expedient to doso? Another
reselittion, he understbuti, had been prvpOsed in the other house
which had been Adpersedell, but Which went to declare that slave' y
Was repttgliant to the British Constittition and to the Christian
Religion. He agreed with the Noble. Earl opposite, that it

Lord EbbENBOROUGH complained of the tardineas 'of
the other llonhe in only sending to their bordships at this pe.
riod, Resolutions which they had passed needy three year"up). The great question was, in what manner it would be pos.
:nide most early and rapidly to diminish the mass or human mi.
wry ? lie (leotard whether the course now proposed would not
tend to aggravate rather titan to relieve thhat misery. Ile dill
not Nee his way clearly, any more than the Noble Earl who in.
tended to propose the Bins, and he would nut go on blindly,—
The Noble Earl said that the Colonies had made a large provi.

era might also know the state of parties at home, and etineeive
'that by conceding a little to tiovernment they would be borne
harmless through die rest, The Noble Lord then contended
that it rota elteurd to propose lime the same thing which had
hided to produce any ellect three years ago. Suppose the Noble
Secretary saw a men, besting his horse, and should.. tell the

The Earl of LITERPOOL obseried that if the epeed, of
the Noble Lord who lied jest sat down hiefint any thing, it
ineasit that nothing should be done, and that whilst all were
agreed as to the propriety of proceeding es tar 116 it W 34
Bible, no step whatever should be taken. If the NOble Lord
asked why the Resolutions had not been sent to their Lord-
%hips in the year 1823, when they Were passed, he would
frankly Say, that he did not know the reatem lie believed
that, (according to the forme of Parliament) they ought to
Ease been sent, Wit if their delay enabled his Alai:style Go-
vernment to adopt an additional step, lie wee not sorry that
it sttoulil have taken place. 'lnc only question now how
ever, was Whether it was nut desirable to ameliorate the
condition, of slaves by such means us would lead to the ex.
unction of slavery ? On this point there was but one bpi-
Ilion. The Nettle Lord could not deny the those means must
be, instruction in religions duties, education, and the removal
of the whip and those badges which marked slaves as art infe«
rior. race. 'rhea they must be admitted to give evidence, and
ultimately some principle. of rnannmission must be adopted.
The Noble Lord despaired of succeSs.' But many colonies
were under the direction of his Majesty's (jovernment; and in
several of thoSe Whielt had independent leeislatures, an impure
tent part of the recenlmendations of the Older in Council had.
already been (tarried into effect. Did he then look with de»
spondeney upon the result, he ishould still think it the duty of
Parliament to try the course now proposed ; to tell the colo., ,
nists frankly what was witnted, nit! to leave it to them to carry
the measures into eiNet. For it wee insportent that the slaves
should owe all the advantages intended for Meat to the Colo-
nies themhelVes rather than to the authority of the British
Parliament in opposition to the Colonies. We ought not to be
surprised if those whoeu interests, prejudiCes and paseions were
involved in the question should nut travel as fast all we did ;
anti we had a right to give then; ti resunable time to see if they
would not do what Was proper. If they did not, then it would
beeothe necessary for Parlianient to interfere. lie did not
think it prudent or desirable to inY more at present, as he did
not wish to send these Resolutions to the Colonies with a me-
nace -which might embark the point of honour in the question.
Rut having done its duty,by reconithentling the new Act to the
Colonies, he trusted that Perliititietit would be found ready to
do its duty to itself and to astfert its Authority, When the time of
tatting so Should have arrived.
. The I)ttlee of i l.it ;i `CESTER wished that the Resolutions
should have been stronger ; but as they were they should ree
eeave his cordial and warm approbation, for he Was 'intistied that
the Nolte Earl wbuld not call optin the House to adopt them,
if his Majesty'e Goiernotent were nth determined to follow
them up, if necessary, with Measures calculated to give them
etlbct. Ile hoped that the decision of their Lordships would

proire necessary, would not be tiel it:ed more than u twelve.

nor the iteople would be autistied, anti Ministers would not du
their duty to the country nor to Lida.
The lAllt I.) CAA NCCI,I Jen wiahea to say, with respect to
the communication of the Retiolutions at so late a peria,l, that it
would be be infinitely better for either House of Parliament not
to assume SO entirely to itself a legislative chehieter, but to
coninittnititde immediately to each OtilUf they were
doing. To the resolutions themselves lie was reedy to gtve hid
twient. Much had been said abotit the itate of slavery in the
