deterring Me, upon this, it will only tend as an additional im-
pulse to me to proceed.—(Cheers.) I do not say V is in de-
tiaace of any party, but to prove to the Roman Catholics of
Ireland that the Government of this country were prepared
to adhere to their measures, which were dictated
by none other than a kindly feeling.—(Loud cheers.) But
of this I will give them the assurance that, in office or out
of office, that which I have undertaken to do I will, to the ut-
most of my power, fulfil—it may be short of their expecta-
tions, but they never shall have cause to charge me with
abandoning their interest—which I will advance to the extent
to which I feel, consistently with my public duty, I can pro-
mote it.—(The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud
cheers.)
Lord WORSLEY then addressed the House for a few
minutes, but owing to the noise in the House, and the impa-
tience which was manifested for a division, his observations
were inaudible in the gallery.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that, having opposed the Bill
in all the stages through which it had passed, he did not
think that any apology was necessary from him for the vote
which he intended to give on that occasion. The Right Hon.
Baronet had the other night said, " Of course those who vote
against the second reading of this Bill, will support the mo-
tion of the Hon. and Learned Recorder for London," but if he
(Mr. Duncombe) recollected correctly the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had stated that evening that every one of those Gen-
tlemen who were opposed to the Hon. Member for Sheffield
would of necessity vote for the motion of the Hon. and
Learned Member.
Sir R. PEEL—He has changed his motion.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—Changed his motion 1 But how
had he changed it' The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had
first proposed that the money should not be taken out of the
Consolidated fund, and he then proposed that the report of the
Committee which had agreed to the money being taken out of
the Consolidated fund should be received that day six months.
This was splitting hairs. He (Mr. Duncombe) said that the
motion was precisely the same. The Right Hon. Baronet was
right in calling on those Gentlemen who had voted with the
Hon. Member for Sheffield, to vote for the motion of the
Honourable and Learned Member for Cambridge. But
it did not appear that they would vote for it.
Were they to be told that the expression of public opinion was
to he treated, as the Hon. Baronet said, as a ferment in the
public mind, which was about to be set aside ? That was the
language of the Minister to the people of England. He (Mr.
Duncombe) would give the Hon. Baronet the credit of this.
He had never seen any indecent haste on the part of the Hon.
Baronet to remain in office, nor had he ever seen in him any
unworthy desire to retain office after his power had gone. He
(Mr. Duncombe) believed that the Right Hon. Baronet be-
lieved that it was his duty to pass this measure if he possibly
could. But he was carrying it in direct opposition to the
wishes and feelings of the body of the people.—( Hear, hear.)
What the people of this country so much objected to was the
endowment of the Roman Catholic religion. They objected to
transfer this property where there was already one establish-
ment too many--(" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) The Right
Hon. Gentleman now set public opinion at defiance. There
could be no question about it after his speech of that evening,
but he believed the Right Hon. Gentleman proved himself the
greatest enemy of the Established Church in Ireland.—(Hear,
hear.) He would however do him the justice to say that he was
the greatest friend to the extension of the franchise, for the
people of this country would no longer allow the constitution of
that House to remain as it was.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. COLLETT (Athlone) rose amidst loud cries of " Oh,
oh." He would not detain the House many moments.—
(Hear' hear.) The question had been exhibited in so
many different aspects, that he, as a young Member—(Loud
laughter)—hardly knew how to vary the question before t,e
House. He approved of the motion of the Hon. Member (or
Sheffield, which he thought might be stated in a few words,
namely, who was to pay the piper.--(Laughter.) Except
upon the voluntary principle, he was opposed to all establish-
ments.—(Loud Laughter.) He thought that religion
was a matter between a man and his God. He did not
think that he had a right to say to the Roman Catholic that
his own religion was better than his, nor that the Roman Ca-
tholic had a right to say that his religion was better than Ma-
hometanism.—(lncreased laughter.) Religion did not con-
sist in reviving obsolete forms, or preaching a sermon in a
white, or a black, or blue surplice, but in doing good. He
thought if they were to have a Pope, the farther off he was the
better. It was better to have one in Rome, or in Exeter, than
in London.—(Laughter.) He thought they need not go to
the Consolidated fund for the money, when they could take
5,0001. a year from the Bishop of London and the Bishop of
Exeter.—( Laughter.) If they did this they would be put
more on a level with the meek and poor Apostles, whose fol-
lowers they professed to be.—(Laughter.) But they were no
more apostles than he was.—k Roars of laughter.) He would
support the measure of the Government.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
Against the motion
Fur it

Majority against the motion —ll3
Mr. TANCRED then proposed that upon the report of a
resolution from the Committee, that provision be made out of
the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, for the endowment of the College of Alaynooth, to
move the addition of the following words " until provision
shall be made for the same, by any Act to be passed in
this or any subsequent session of Parliament, either out of
any surplus in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of
Ireland, or by an assessment of the lands of Ireland to an
amount equivalent to the remission of tithes made to the land-
lords of Ireland by the Tithe Commutation Act, as Parliament
may deem most advisable."

The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment .

Against it
Majority... ........ ..... —76
The report was then brought up.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved the second reading of the Malt
Drawback Bill, which was, however, after a few words from Mr.
Hume and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, postponed till
Friday next.
The Museums of Art Bill was read a third time.
Lord ASHLEY brought up the report on the Calico Print
Works Bill.

The remaining orders were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
NEWMARKET, MONDAY AFTERNOON, 4 O'CLOCK.
The arrivals since our last parcel was forwarded have been
incessant, and with the additions that may he looked for this
evening, will, we doubt not, realise our anticipations of a full
and brilliant meeting. -Most of the visitors met last night at
the reading of the list, with what object it is difficult to com-
prehend, unless by a few small bets at evens and 6 to 5 on
Idas, and 8 to 1 agst Cataract, they proposed to show that if
the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes is a certainty, the
Chester Cup is not; of regular betting we never heard
so little, although the doors were not closed until
after midnight. The racing this afternoon, not-
withstanding the transfer of the Minotaur and Pine.
apple match to Tuesday, has been quite up to the
mark in quantity, although, it must be admitted, not calcu •
lated to excite any interest beyond the moment. An early
commencement being indispensable, the Plate was run for at
twelve o'clock, in the presence of a large and fashionable
company, the weather favourable, and the course in good
order. Leaving two matches of minor importance for our
