CI.ERGYNIiN IN TIME COLONIES.

The Earl MTHUII:ST presented a 13i11 for amend-
ing the Law respecting the Ordination of Sniri-
mai Persons for the Cure of Souls in the Colo-
nies. At present, his Lordship stated; such or-
dination rested with the Bishop of LondoO, but.
there Was no security that persons so ordained-
would actually go Out trii the Colonies, nor were
any of the Colonies Within the Diocese of the
Bishirp„• The object of the Bill was, to vest
the power of ordination for the inure of souls in
the Colonies iu the Archbishop of "Canterbury,
the Archbishop of York, and the BiShop of Lon-
don, and any other Bishop whom they might p
point flit- that purpose, awl to enact (in order to
insure the,going out to the Colonies of the per-
sons ordained), that before any persons were so
ordained, they should produce a paper, shewing
that they were culled to the cure of souls in the
Colonies, and that they'should not be eligible to
any ecclesiastical preferment in, England or Ile-
land, without the consent of the Bishop of the
Diocese in which such preferment should be si-
tuated, the consent of the Archbishops, and a
certificate of good conduct from the Governor or
Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony where such
person had done duty, or from the Secretary of
State for the Colonial Department. There were
other provisions to 'prevent intrusion into the
Church of England of persons ordained out of its
immediate Pale. Persons ordained by the Bishops
of Quebec, Nova Scotia, or Calcutta were nor
to, be allowed to take any ecclesiastical prefer-
ment in England or Ireland without the consent
of the Bishop of the Diocese and the Archbishop
of (Le Province in which such preferment should
be sitnated, and such Colonial Bishops should not
have the power of ordinition when absent front
their Dioceses, or after their resignation.

The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to
he printed.

IRISII FUNDS.

The Marquess of LANSDOWNE stated; that the
effect of the two late Acts for allowing Holders
of English Stock
.to transfer it to Ireiantl, had
been to increase the relative amount of the Irish
Debt, as compared with tie .power of the Sink•
log rinid in Ireland,' which was scarcely fair to•
wards the Irish holders of Stock. XVi,it a view
to ascertain how the tact stood, he moved for an
Account of the Capital Stock tranfterred from
England to Ireland, under the said Acts.—Or-
dered.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this day).

claimed dividends in the hands•of the. Bank.
Sir J. NEWPORT wished to ask a question with respect to
a Lottery Office Keeper of the City of Dnblin, who had been
convicted of granting frandulent,policies,of insurance. He
wished to know whether his license was continued to him ?
He asked this question, because the same individual loud
been elected Alderman by the City of Dublin, and might be,
called ups to serve the office of Lord Mayor. It was worthy
of the attention of the House in what manner that Corpora-
tion in this instance had executed its trust. " •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had
no knowledge as to the fact in question. ,
Mr. SHAW said,: that Mr. Wheeler, the Gentleman in
question, had been elected Alderman in the ordinary course,
having. previously served the voice of Sheriff; in that office
no mati had conducted himself better, of was more esteemed
by his fellow-ciriiens. ,
Sir .1. NEWPORT said, be knew nothing of Mr.'WheelQ4,
but the fact of his having besot so convicted, whi-ch rendered
him, in his opinion 0.111 unfit person to till that office.

,lltinenis in' Irelafal. In support of his motion, the Hon.
lii.litleitatt stated scone instances of great ini,qoality in dit-
jet-sit Counties with' respect to the asss..ssment by the her,.

ti

that nothing cordd be more unequal and oppressive flint the
mode by which the assessments here at present. made out;
and the subject was well deserving of Parliamentary investi-
gation.
Mr. LESLIE FOSTER said, that. he did not wish to oppose
the Bill in the present stage; bur he thought it proper to
apprize the House, that to carry a Bill for tine end proposed
into effect, it would be necessary. to hare a new sort ey of all
the acres in Ireland, which, at the rate of only qd. per acre,
would cost the nation 300,00.01. He allowed that suet, a sur-
vey might be Made at a cheaper rate, by employing the Pail.
cent of the prdnance Department ; but at the lowest vahliaz.
thou, he contended that it could not l;e accomplished for less
than 100.0001_ .
Mr. CitOli..Efl observed that the public money could not
be more properly or usefully expended than in employing Our
Naval and Military Officers to make charts of the
.coasts of
Ireland and Scotlimd,
.particularly the western coasts, the
maps of-which were all deficient. The Hon. Member declared
that such a maritime survey must, at all events,. 1:e under-
taken; and as the present Bill, as. well as other objects, made
an aectirate,land survey, of Ireland equally necessary, built
might be accoinplished together by the Ordnance Department
at half the expense Which his Hon. Friend (Mr. Foster) had

Stated. . • .
After a few words from Mr. Vesyy Fitzgerald to the same
purport, and an explanation by Mr. Chichester, who declai vd
that he was willing to avail himself of rhe advice of the Hoo.
Gentlemen who had delivered their opinions( on his motion;
and that he was anxious that a subject so important should
have the advantages of the roost Mature deliberation, leave
was given to bring in the Bill.
