AIAVNOOTH BILL—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Sir H. W BARRON said that several of the petitioners who
had addressed that House had stated that all State endowments
were opposed to sound religion. But when he saw nine
out of tee oppeeeptt !•0 the enaoetnattilt of Boyd
the it useful, valuable and necessary to
avi,l
the Church supported by the State, he was surprised to ob-
serve this large body taking advantage of a cry raised on a
totally different principle. He repeated he was surprised that
they should condesceni to tahe adVaittage of this most im-
proper ery, and eothing tlevrh to the House, tell her Majesty's
Afinistera that their measures were not in accordance with the
feelings of the country.
An HON. MEMBER, here moved that the House be counted,
but more than sixty Members having been found present,
Sir H. W. BA RRON resumed. He had read the petitions
of the Dissenters who were adverse to the Government mea-
sure, and if their *Ain and prayers meant anything, It was not
that en endowment of Maynooth was objectionable, but
that, being obnoxious to the principle of the State en•
dowing any religion whatsoever, they entered their ()aro-
salon on the broad and intelligible grounds of the inexpediency
of the State interfering with the Church. What, then, be-
came of the opposition of the Member for Oxford, and that of
the Member for Kent, who now set themselves forward as the
champions of the Church Establishment in this country, yet
whose grounds of opposition were diametrically opposite to
those of their associates? The latter would decide equally
against the Church Establishment in England, igainst the
Church Establishment in Ireland, and against the Church
Establishment of Scotland; and if an appeal were to be made,
it should be made on those grounds alone. Their language
had been. " We conscientiously object to the endowment of
any religious institution whatsoever," and the persons who had
stated this so emphatically were not an isolated or particular
body, an exception to the great majority, but the selec.ed minis-
ters of the entire dissenting body of the country. But there
were reasons, and cogent unanswerable reasons for the endow-
ment of the College of Maynooth. First, it had been sanc-
tioned by the Irish Parliament; secondly, it had been sanc-
tioned by the English Parliament for a period of forty-five
years ; and, thirdly, the great body of the Catholics of Ireland
were keenly alive to the fact, that it was by English force, by
English violence, and by English bayonets that they had been
deprived of the endowments of their Church. Let those en-
dowments be restored and then might the present paltry
pittance be withheld, but if those endowments were
still kept, and kept for Protestant purposes, the Irish Catholics
had a right to claim from the Parliament of England an equi-
valent. If a body were deprived of an indefeasible right by
force, was it not natural that that injured body should seek re-
stitution or redress? and yet the Irish Roman Catholics had
never, be it remembered, come and asked for the grant. Yet
when acceded, he felt confident that it would be accepted
by the great body of the hierarchy and clergy of
Ireland as an honest and just concession. Accepted
in a spirit of peace, aye, even of thankfulness, and
thankfulness more than was commensurate with the amount.
If all religions were to be cast upon their own resources, as in
the case of the Dissenters, then let the Irish Catholics at least
have that property returned to them. No similar claim could be
made out on behalf of the Dissenters of England. They had
never been deprived of their rightful endowments, nor robbed
of their first possessions. And to think the former would be
satisfied without redress, was to suppose an impossibility. The
Irish character was not different from the English. Let them
suppose that the contemplated expedition of Napoleon upon
England had succeeded—that he had overrun, ravaged,
vanquished the country, then spoliated the Church, and
handed it over to his soldiery or citizens, how
would the English have acted then ? Oh, they would have
acted like men, and would have cried " restitution is due, and
sooner or later it must be made." Such had been the Irish
feeling, such their conduct, such their first avowal. The se.
cond objection to the measure was, however, on religious
grounds, but in a country like this, professing different
religions, and greatly divided in itself, it wss hardly becoming
to raise such an intolerant and anomalous outcry. In England
they had established the religion of the majority of the people ;
in Scotland they had established the religion of the majority of
the people; in Ireland they had established the religion
of the minority of the people. Was that not an insult,
a marked, a gratuitous insult ? and was it not natural that dis-
content and acerbity, and animosity, should be the feelings of a
people so unjustly treated ? A statement had been put forth,
which he did not believe, that the majority of the English
people were opposed to the grant, but those that did resist it on
religious grounds had clamoured loudly and unworthily of
" Catholicism" and " Jesuitism." Let it be remembered that
it was the Jesuit who had first spread the doctrines of Chris-
tianity, who, daring the terrors of climate and of barbarism,
had traversed the most repulsive regions, and taught
the pure doctrines of his religion to the heathen.
And, as to Gs itho:icism, it was the religion of the
ancestors of every Member of that House : it was
the religion of those who had fought for and obtained
that source of their liberties and'their rights—Magna Charter.
Did they forget what they owed the Catholic? It was he that
had achieved the victories of Cressy, Poietiers, and Agincourt;
it was he that had founded the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge ; it was he that had created that glorious temple
whose walls approximated their own. He made these remarks
not to bring on polemical discussion, but because he had been
provoked to it, and he should have felt himself unworthy of his
seat in that House had he not protested against the language of
the opponents of the measure towards the Catholic religion gene-
rally. He considered that no Protestant in that House would
object to subscribe to all the essential doctrines of faith to which
the Catholic gave his assent. Every one of those doctrines was
maintained by some of the divines of the Established Church,
and the religious opinions that were particularly ascribed to
the Roman Catholics might be found especially insisted on in
the Book of Common Prayer. As to mere matters of form and
ceremonial, the two parties might differ; but what had these
distinctions to do with religion ? Nothing whatever, and this
opinion he was prepared to maintain in the presence of divines
belonging to both churches. It was the result of biassed opi-
nions and most unfounded prejudices, that prevented
this opinion from being universally entertained. He be-
lieved, as an honest man, that in essentials there was little
or no difference between their doctrines. It was true that if
Dissenting Ministers, and others ignorant of real facts, were
asked to give a description of the Roman Catholic religion,
they would tell you that it was a most monstrous and fright-
ful doctrine, filled with superstitious errors and every abomis
nation ; but they had obtained their knowledge of the religion
from their nursery-maids, and had retailed it, highly exagge-
rated, to their associates as the truth. The publication of
these foolish notions had done more to shake the attachment
of the Irish people to the Government of the land than all the
contumely and persecution that had been heaped on them for
centuries past. He believed the wrong ideas entertained of
the Catholic religion constituted a most mischievous and dan-
gerous condition ; and he would implore Hon. Gentlemen to
consider whether they would array themselves or not against the
best interests and peace of the country. The proposed grant
to Maynooth was not to be considered merely as a gift of so
much money, but it ought to be taken as the expression of a
kindly feeling towards- the Irish people ; and it would tend to
assure them that whatever had been done in bygone times,
the Government were now willing to atone for the mistakes
which had been formerly committed. Ho would request Hon.
Members not to regard this grant in the light of a religious
discussion. From many years' anxious consideration he would
fearlessly assert, that the differences which had divided the re-
ligions of England and Ireland were of such small moment,
that, from their trivial nature, they could not much longer
exist. The House differed as to the subject of the grant to
Maynooth, but he would beseech it to be unanimous in giving
this satisfaction to the people of Ireland, so that they might
see that the large majority of Englishmen were disposed to act
kindly towards them. The proposed measure would give greater
satisfaction to Ireland than any scheme that had ever been
contrived. The hopes of the people had been raised to the
highest pitch of excitement in the expectation of receiving the
boon, and he trusted from the bottom of his heart that the
value of the gift might not be diminished by its being awarded
by a small and unwilling majority.
Mr. LAWSON said he considered that matters of a reli-
gious tendency ought not to be discussed in that House, Hav-
ing briefly stated this opinion he would proceed to offer a few
observations on what had fallen from the Hon. Baronet with
regard to what he considered the restoration of property to the
Roman Catholics. This refunding would meet with his most decided opposition, and he had voted against it on the Appro-
priation Clause. He considered the Church of Ireland as an
integral portion of the Church of England—of course he al-
luded to the Protestant Church of Ireland—and the two
churches were united. On these grounds, and not from any
hostile motives, he was resolved to oppose the giving of church
property to the Catholics. He would now proceed to the con-
sideration of the Bill for the endowment of Maynooth. He had
all along voted against the bestowing of the small amount hi-
therto given to the college, but he should experience great sa-
tisfaction in supporting the measure for bestowing a
larger grant for the purposes of education. He had
on a former occasion voted in favour of the education
Bill because he considered that, under the peculiar position
in which the country stood, some improved means for preventing
the spread of ignorance and superstition was very much
needed. He would not object to give the proposed grant to
Maynooth, or a larger sum, if it was necessary; but he could
not perceive how the bestowal of a greater amount could re-
solve his objections to the purposes to which it would be de-
voted. He would now refer to what the Honourable Baronet
had stated with respect to the alliance between Dissenters and
the Church. It was true he had presented petition from
Dissenters ; and he considered that the general feeling of his
constituents was decidedly opposed to the grant. In case the
Maynooth sill were passed he would prefer that scholarships
should be founded, so that there might be a fair field opened for
genius, and no difference in religious belief should
prevent a young man from earning the reward
of learning. He would say, let truth prevail,
and there was nothing unfair in that view of the case. It ap-
peared to him that if superstitious doctrines were to be
preached, let there be a corresponding facility opened for re-
butting them in fair argument, and he was persuaded that no
man who was anxious for truth could object to this course. It
had been stated that tie popular feeling was not against this
Bill; he would, however, believe that the feeling throughout
the country was strongly opposed to the grant, and many of
the arguments brought forward in its support were in direct
contradiction one to the other.
The Hon. H. CHOLMONDELEY considered that the
measure would be attended with some risk, but the danger to
be apprehended was not so urgent or so great, as to hinder the
expectation that great good would result. For this reason he
was determined to give his support to the third reading of the
Bill. He would give his vote, not for the purpose of swelling
the majority, or supporting the Government, but from the pure
conviction that no harm would result, and that it would greatly
benefit the Irish people. He had listened attentively to the
arguments that had been urged for and against the measure,
but he had heard nothing that could tend to shake
his original opinion on the subject. He was not
one of those who were inclined to under-estimate
either the Protestant or the Catholic religion. He was by
birth and education a Protestant, but he was not, for that
reason, inclined to oppose the claims of the Catholic, and
neither did he think that by supporting the measure he would
tend in any degree to promote the Roman Catholic religion.
He considered that, by supporting this measure, he was doing
no more than an act of justiceal

The Government had not acted or, this subject simply with
a view to popularity. They had acted with a view to conci-

Colonel RAWDON, on the part of the Roman Catholics
of Ireland, gave his hearty concurrence to the measure brought
forward by the Right Hon. Baronet, He looked on it as
opening a better prospect for the Irish people) as the beginning
of a better state of things. Why, if they did not do that
justice which was certainly due to Ireland, it would be better
to discontinue the connexion between the two portions of the
empire—it would be better, he repeated, to dissever that con-
nexion, than to maintain a disregard of the feelings of a very
large and important portion of the empire. He believed, that
notwithstanding the great number of petitions which had been
obtained against the Bill, the generous feelings
of the English people were in fattier of a
measure which manifested a disposition ott the
part of the English Government to render some justice td pA
injured country. He knew very well all the uses that might
be made of the debate, but that would not prevent him from
persisting in his support to the Bill.
Mr. SHAW denied, in the first place, that there was any
similarity between the present proposition and the Act of
1793, which gave a temporary and conditional endow-
ment to the college of Maynooth. But the Go-
vernment were not satisfied now with the tolerance
of the Romish Church, but they were going to endow it, and
to make it permanently a part of the State. The Right Hon.
Baronet treated tais as the foundation, of a new system. He
should like to know what they were to understand from the
words of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Govern-
ment two years ago. He then adopted a different policy
and a different tone towards Ireland. He had now
changed his opinions, and was adopting a different
policy towards that country. The Roman Catholics inferred
from the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, that they were not to be
content with civil rights, but were to have religious equality
with the members of the Established Church. Thus strife,
excitement, and animosity, of a far more important character
than that which existed• during the period when the old poli-
tical Catholic question disturbed that country, would be engen-
dered. God help the people of that country, for, indeed, they
had but little to expect from such a course of policy.--( Cheers)
Instead of men of different political feelings co-operating to-
gether for the promotion of national improvements, and for the
primnotion of their common interests, it would seem as if they
were again to be driven into religious disputations and party
conflict—that days of peace and rest should never be permitted
to the people of Ireland, and that dissension, discord, and con-
tention of a lasting kind would be introduced. He regretted
that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government
had made the announcement " that Ireland was
to be his ditliculty%" This was a Sure way to Make
it so. Such predictions had ft tendency to their
own fulfilment, He sitietrely believed that much of the
vexation and annoyance of the " monster meetings.' and
" State prosecutions" in Ireland) lied been induced by that
declaration.—(Cries of " Oh," and " No.") He would not go
into them, but he was prepared to say, tot his own part, that
in the treatment of the monster meetings at first) or in the
State prosertitione after, he did not think the policy pursued
wits iniudieious.—(Hear, hear.) He was feady to affirm that
when the Right Hon. Baronet aestiomel (dee there was not
amongst all his political supporters a section more azaleas tO
co-operate with him in adopting a conciliatory
_policy toward
Ireland than his Irish supporters. ---(Herite.hefir.) To the last
hour of his life he elloeld entertain feelings of aiTectionate
regard towards the Right Hon. Baronet. He had always been
the friend of civil equality both to his Roman Catholic brethren
and his Protestant assottietee.—(l-/ter, hear.) He had tint
the honour of sitting in that 1-lotise in 1829, bttt his father had
been turned out for giving a vote ih tavotir of the Catholics.
The part he had taken with respect to the Municipal Corpo-
ration Bill had lost him the dearest and beat friend of his life.
—( Hear, hear.) He was glad to see hit Right Hon. Friend
the Secretary for Ireland In his place, betatise it were him the
opportunity of telling him that when he went to that doiltitty
he would Lind himself in no better a position than a clerk to
the Home-office.—( Hear, hear.) He could not but think, as
an Irishman, that the appointment of Englishmen to the office
of Lord Chancellor of Irelan was greaty. to be deplore d.
With regard to professional apd pointments,l he did not wish to
bring any names before the House, but at the same time he
would say that in professional appointments they had been
rather chosen by the conaideratbn of an inferior policy, than
by a regard to the character or the honour of the professions
themselves, or the wishes of the Irish people. The Right Hon.
Baronet, in enumerating the appointments which were made,
spoke of a gentleman appointed to a minor office ; he ( Mr. S. )
would not mention the name; but while that gentleman re•
1 mained in that office, he was still some proof of the principle
which he had Just spoken of. The Protestants of Ireland were
not so easily to be frightened as the Right Hon. Baronet ima-
gined, and that he would yet find out. He would warn the
Government that if they lost the support of the Irish Protest•
ants, they would introduce a spirit of discontent, without
creating a good feeling among the people. Lord Plunket him-
self, though a friend ea the Roman Catholics, bad declared
that if that House attempted to touch the property of the
Protestant Church in. Ireleud, they would soon see the ties
of the union of Ireland at ail end, and the severance of the two.

THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1845.

Newark had stated in one of the earliest speeches on this sub- I more warning in conclusion, that if they severed the Irish Es-
ject, the religious portion of the subject ought to be left tablishment from the State, or created a junction between vo-

difference between Christian and Christian sink into nothing."
—( Cheers.) They had also to consider the arguments against
the rejection of the measure on the other side. If
this measure were rejected, not only would the Vote turn out
the present Ministry, but also every Ministry that should suc-
ceed it., which was not pledged to the grant to Maynooth.
They would lay a palsying hand on the trade and commerce of
Ireland—they would prevent the influx of capital—they would
prevent the formation of railroads, those great means of civili-
zation and improvement. The feelings of the Irish people
would be estranged, and their confidence in the good will of
this country would be lost. But the granting of this measure
would have a double effect, it would be a blessing to those who
gave and to those who received its benefits—the country whieh
bestowed, and the country on whom the gift was bestowed,
would be alike sharers in the advantages. As he had before
asserted, it would not add one Roman Catholic to the ranks of
that church. Conversions were not to be made without but
within the Church, and he, as a Protestant opposed to the
doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, felt bound to assert
that such would be the case. This grant would do no injury
to the Protestant religion in Ireland. All the instances they
had heard of came from within the Church. Luther was a
Catholic when he began the reformation.—(Cheers.) Be-
lieving, therefore, that this measere would be a healing mea-
sure, and that it was calculated to be of service to the
country, he should give his earnest support to the measure.
Mr. FFOLLIOTT said that as he had voted against the
smaller sum he had no difficulty in voting against the larger
grant. He should oppose It, because he believed that it was
opposed to the feelings of the great body of the Protestants in
Ireland, and calculated to do an injury to the Protestant
Church. He had himself, only the other evening, presented a
petition from the county of '1 yrone, which was signed, he
believed, by more persons than all the signatures represented
which were attached to the petitions in favour of the
grant. The letter which he had received for the presentation
of that petition spoke, lie believed, the sentiments of the Pro-
testant inhabitants of Ireland, and it strongly repudiated any
adoption of the principle which this grant included. It was
well known that the College of Mayneuth had been under the
management of the Jesuits. That it was so in the year 1816,
but if it could be proved to him that an alteration had been
made since that time he should not have had such an objection
to the vote. If it could be proved to him that the students had
been led to appreciate. the sacredness of an oath, he should feel
less reluctance than he now entertained against the vote, but
he could not feel this, and he should therefore support the
amendment of the Hnn. Member for Dorsetshire.
Sir D. NORREYS said that he certainly should support
the third reading. The Ministry had done what they thought
right, and it was at least in bad taste to rake up, as the last
speaker had done, all the exuvite of noisome reports and
slanders. They had now sown the seed, and they would soon
reap the harvest. They proposed to insure this grant on the
same security as the Civil List, the public establishments of
the country, the army and the navy, rested, and the country
would be grateful to them for the way in which the grant had
been made. They had passed a great gulf, and he trusted they
would proceed to a happy termination.
Mr. GODSON seid that he should trouble the House with a
very few words in explanation of tha vote he intended to give
on the present occasion, and he did this partly because his
opinion might not coincide with many of those who had re-
turned him as their representative to Parliament. And first,
it became his duty to see what were the benefits which this
measure would confer upon the Roman Catholics
of Ireland, and in making this inquiry, he would
not regard the present as a solitary measure, for he
trusted it was not to stand alone, the only monument of the
Government's desire to do justice to the sister country. He
hoped that the Irish people would enjoy that peace which re-
sulted from a conviction that they had been justly dealt with.
He (Mr. Godson) had had considerable experience of the
Church establishment in the colonies, for he had been inti-
mately acquainted for many years with the Island of Jamaica,
and he should. with the permission of the House, draw
Honourable Members' attention to the sums of money which
had been sent to the different religious denominations there,
and particularly to. the amounts granted for the support of the
Roman Catholics. There was an asinual amount sent every
year to the,lsland of Jamaica of 28,5101. This appeared to be the
case by a return for the year 1839, which had been laid on the
table of that House. They would find that out of 168,2421.
granted altogether for ecclesiastical purposes, the Roman Ca-
tholic priesthood had had no less than 14,7631. Why, then,
he asked, should the colonies have a greater measure of justice
than that accorded to Ireland ? He trusted that this measure
was an indication of better things—that they would soon see
the priesthood of the Roman Catholics made independent of the
people to whom they ministered, and that as the blessings of
education were extended, a more united and friendly feeling
would spring up between that country and this. He trusted
that the period was not distant when the Parliament would be
considered a Legislature not inimieal to their interests, but
willing to do them that justice which had so long been refused
to them. The minister of religion would confine himself to the
discharge of his spiritual functions and duties; and they
would be able to apply to him the beautiful language of the
poet—

" Non tamen irritum
" Quodcunque retro est, efficiet neque
" Diffineet, iesectumque reddet,
Quod fugiens semel hora vexit."
Mr. BELLEW rose, as a Catholic Member, to express his
opinion upon the Church question. He thought spoliation
took place at the time of the Reformation ; but he thought
that it would be equal spoliation to take the property from the
Catholics now. He was, however, of opinion that in a very
few years a very different opinion would be held in Ireland.
He thought this measure, therefore, was 'a very politic one,
and he was convinced that it would be duly appreciated
by the people of Ireland, as it would lead them
to believe their religion was cared for by the State.
Whatever the religion of a people might be, Mahomedan or
Jewish, so long as they behaved loyally and peaceably, they had
a right to be dealt with in the same manner as the members of
the Established Church. After all that was said of crime in
Ireland it was not so prevalent as in England, and the way to
diminish it still more, and to restore permanent tranquillity
was by introducing measures of a humane and eonciliatory na-
ture like the present, which, after all the obloquy it had en-
countered, would, he felt confident, be considered as a most ac-
ceptable boon by the great body of the people of Ireland.
When the Hon. Member sat down there were loud cries of
" Divide," and for at least a minute no Hon. Member rose.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and they were about
doing so--many had actually left the plinks, and there was a
rush of Members to the bar, when—
Sir R. INGLIS rose amid loud and renewed cries of
"Divide." When the tumult ceased, the Hon. Baronet pro-
ceeded to say that, in the course of a hundred hours' debate, not
a single point had remained undiscussed ; and having already
experienced the indulgence of the House, he would not again
have trespassed upon it, did he not think, when the cry for a
division arose, that it would be unbecoming in him, having
taken so strong a part from the beginning, to allow a dual
decision to be come to without endeavouring, for the last time,
to rural the attention of the House to some of the views, not,
perhaps, new views, but some to which their attention had
been already directed. It was no longer contended, as in the
early part of the debate, that they were bound by compact to
maintain or increase the grant to Maynooth. After the de-
claration of his Right Hon. Friend at the commence-
ment of this discussion, which gave, as an alternative, that
they should abandon the education of the Roman Catholic
clergy altogether, it would be no longer contended that they
were bound by compact. But by whatever they were ;bound
—by charity, as the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of
State for the Home Department said, or by fear, as the Hon.
.Member for Marylebone stated, or by sympathy with the reli-
gious feelings of the majority of the Irish people, as other Hon.
Members had insinuated—it was quite clear that they were
under no moral obligation to educate the Catholic
priesthood. Looking upon the measure either in the light of
policy, justice, or expediency, he could not change the opinion
which he had already expressed—that it would alienate the
Protestant mind, and would totally fail to conciliate the Roman
Catholics of Ireland. He had been told that he had no right
to assume that the majority of the Protestants of the empire
were opposed to this measure, and that its opponents chiefly
comprised Dissenters, and a few members of the
Established Church. He was further assured that it
would be acceptable to the Irish Roman Catholic people, but
it did not seem as if their leaders had been conciliated by it,
though, perha;,s, the Hon. Members fotreDungdraelakt, Dmunagaaarvoonf
the Pr o,
and Waterford might approve of it.—( Hear, hear.)
He repeated
rst an people this were beliefthat h

and that it was far front conciliating

of the Catholics of Ireland, who, Instead of re-
ceiving it as a boon, would reject it as an insult.--( Hear.)

( Hear, hear.) It had raised the Protestant feeling of the
country, and they would in vain attempt to lay it. It had
kindled the flame which smouldered, and which would break
out with a degree of intensity, so that no man could calculate
upon its violence or its ravages. It had been said that there
were not such large assemblies of the clergy of the Church of
England, acting in corporate bodies, as at the time of the
Emancipation Bill, but there was hardly a parochial
petition among the numbers he had presented, which
was not signed by the rector of the parish.—(Hear.)
He had been told that they should not unite with their Dis-
senting brethren, but he never felt ashamed of the mere term
Protestant—( Hear, hear )—nor sought to escape from that dis-
tinction. The Hon. Baronet then went on to explain the
nature of Protestantism,which was not, he said, a mere bundle of
negatives, but a distinct and definite idea—a creed for which
men had spilt their blood three centuries ago. He had been
accused by Hon. Members opposite as setting himself up as an
oracle of truth—he had not done so, but what he declared was,
that he would not teach to a stranger what he behaved to be
false, no mote than he would teach it to his own child, a:ld he
hoped the same feelings existed in the breast of eve:v
lionsurable Member in that House.—( Hear, hear.)
It would puzzle them to make any distinction in the matter.
He had never used strong language in that House inconsist-
ent with the personal respect due to the Gentlemen who ad-
dressed the House. He, for one, would not compromise the
great truths in which he had been brought up ; and he would
say, that if the Protestant truth—if the religion of the Church
of England was in accordance with the law of God and the
Gospel, then must the other system which the measure pro-
posed to endow, be a system of error. How any man could
support a system that went to justify the propagation of error,
he could not see. He was sure it could never be reconciled
to conscience or common sense. He, at all events, would
never publicly or privately support what he could not be-
lieve. The Church of England was not one of many sects,
but the religion of the people and the State.—( Hear. )
It was, therefore, entitled to the highest privilege, and ought
not to be placed in comparison with other sects, but had a
right to demand maintenance and support from the State. He
could not conceal from himself the fact, that his Right Hon.
Friend at the head of the Government had occupied the most
important position, during the last twenty years, of any public
man they ever had in the country. Ever) good or evil mea-

require-
ments of the Roman Catholics had been conceded and
satisfied ; but it new appeared that a measure
thought that
the when the
was to be introduced which, he believed, would go
far to repeal that Act, while it would legalise the
introduction, and administer to the succession of all the
scholastic institutions founded on adverse principles. That
Bill had been three months lying on the table of the House,
and no attention had yet been drawn to its anomalous and per-
nicious character. Was he not, therefore, justified in saying
that a line of conduct tending to discourage the Protestant,
and encourage the Roman Catholic Church, was manifested
by the Governments which, for the last sixteen or twenty
years, had held sway in England ? If they looked abroad, the
same spirit was apparent in the course of the Administration
towards its colonial institutions. In 1797, a considerable grant
of land was made in Canada for the foundation of the Protes-
tant Establishment there. A short time ago, the Government
abroad, acting under the instructions of the Home Administra-
tion, had brought in a Bill to take away that great property,
and by a majority of eleven it had been agreed to transfer it
front A Protestant University to one where no religious in-
struction whatever was to be admitted. Looking, therefore, at
the systematic discouragement given to the Church of England
and the systematic encouragement to the Church of Rome,
and regarding the present measure but as the prelude and
precursor of the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church,
he should still, in this, its last stage, offer it his uncompromising
opposititen
Colonel VERNER, amidst loud cries of " Divide," moved
an adjournment of the debate, on which the House divided,
when there appeared—

Majority against the adjournment
On our admission to the gallery we found
Mr. W/ SE on his legs, arguing in favour of the adjourn-
ment of the debate, in consequence of the number of Irish
Members who had not yet spoken on the subject.
Colonel VERNER had moved the adjournment as several
Hon. Members had gone away, under the impression that the
debate should be continued for another evening.
After a few words from Mr. VILLIERS STEWART and Mr.
HUME,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, in his opinion, the de-
bate should go on, until no one could wish for any further ad-
jeurnment.—(Laughter, ) He thought sueh a course would
disarm all opposition, especially as all the argument was on one
side.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had no desire to postpone
the adjournment, although he thought it rather hard upon
those whose duty it was to sit out the whole of
the debate.—( Laughter.) He was anxious to allow every
convenience to Hon. Members, and, as he understood that se.
veral Irish Members wished yet to speak on the question, he
should not oppose the further adjournment.
The debate was then adjourned.
OR the motion of Mr. GROGAN, the Coroners (Ireland)
Bill was read a second time.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock.

to sustain the popularity of the meetings, fell short of
same of the principal stakes, and neither the events
df cided yesterday nor those to be ran this day are
likely to make any alteration in the positions of the
I,erby favourites. But if the field were small and the
results of slight prospective importance, the sport was
varied and satisfactory, and run off with a better observ-
ance of time than has usually characterised the Gorham-
bury management.
The general arrangements on the course, and of
matters connected with the racing, were entrusted to
she same parties who have, from their first establishment,
officiated as Judge, Clerk of the Course, and Starter ;
and, under the personal direction of the Earl of
Verulam, were carried out on the same plan that has
hitherto been so successful in distinguishing Gorham-
bery as one of the most quiet and enjoyable meetings in
the kingdom. Everything in the shape of gambling (of
course we do not presume to apply so unpalatable a term
to the legitimate amusements, or to the speculations to
which they gave rise) was prohibited, defaulters
were held zn terrorein, and roguery in small
matters was kept at bay by the strong arm
of the law. Pity that a meeting so well conducted, and so
dest rvedly popular with all classes, should be discontinued,
yet, if report is to be believed, such is not unlikely to be
the case. The weather, unfortunately, was cold and
showery, and, in consequence, the assemblage was not
so large as we have seen on some occasiors ' • still it was
very numerous ; and that there was no lack of rank and
fashion, the following selection will show :—The Gor-
hambury House list included the Earl of Verulam, Duke
and Duchess of Beaufort, Lord and Lady Craven, Hon.
Mr. Craven, Lord Stanley, Lord and Lady Clarendon,
Duke of Rutland, Hoe. Mr. and Mrs. Grimston, Hon.
C. Grimston, Lord C. Manners, Lord Caledon, Lord
Uffington, Lord and Lady Villiers, Lady Elizabeth and
Lady Evelyn Craven, Marquis of Exeter, Sir W. W.
Wynn, Miss Alorrier, Mr. Greville, Hon. F. Grimston.
The Countess of Verulam, we regret to say, was de-
tained in town by indisposition. In addition to the Noble
Earl and his guests we observed the Earl of Uxbridge,
Earl of March, Lord Glami', Lord A, Lennox, Lord G.
Lennox, Lord Duncannon, Lord E. Russell, Lord Ipswich,
Hon. F. Villiers, Hon. Fras. Villiers, Hon. H. Forrester,
Hon. Captain Boyle, Hon. Captain Stanley, Hon. E. M.

Gardnor, Payne, Rush, Beauclerk, Higgins, Bastard,
Magennis, Gregory, S. Graham, Delme, 13atson, Crom-
melin, Iliggins, &e.
The races were originally fixed to commence at one
o'clock, but, in consequence of her Majesty's state
ball, the start for the Craven Stakes was deferred till
two ;at half-past four the last race was over, and by
seven, all who had the good fortune to save the special
train provided at Watford, were landed safely at
Euston-square.

INDIA.
(From the Gazclte of last night.)

India Beard, May 19, 1845.
A dispatch, from which the following is an extract, has been re-
ceived at the East India House :
MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, G.C.8., TO THE GOVERNOR..
GENERAL OF INDIA.

Head-Quarters, Camp, Shahpoor, Jan 17, 1845.
(Extract.)
In the course of the latter part of last summer I reported to
you how this frontier had been vexed by the unprovoked attacks
made upon Sinde by the Doomkee, Jakrainee, and Boogtie tribes.
These plunderers had, of late, became more harassing to the
frontier posts. They are, as you are aware, subjects to the Khan
of Kelat, but are in open rebellion against him. A few weeks
age his Highness attempted to reduce them to obedience. His
Highness's wishes are completely with us, and his personal canduct
has been honourable. However, he was unable to effect his pur.
pose; he had advanced as far as Poolajee, but retired discomfited,
followed up by the rebel Beejar Khan to Bhag, which has been
plundered. Where the Khan has retired to Ido not at present
know; I suppose to Dadur.
On the 13th inst. I left Sukkur with the headquarters; on the
same day, Captain Jacob marched with the Sinde horse and camel
corps from Larkhana. Wallee Mahomed, the Chandia chief, with
several other chiefs of Belooch tribes, marched on the 15th from
their various villages ; and, on the 16th, Wallee Mohamed, ac.
cording to the orders which he had received from me, took posses.
Mon of Poolajee, which was abandoned by the enemy. On the
same day Captain Jacob attacked and took Shahpoor ; and, at the
same day and hour, Captain Salter attacked Ooch, a post ten miles
to the east of Shahpoor. Both of these places are in the midst of
the Desert, and the enemy was surprised at both. At both resist.
ance was made, and at Ooch about 3,500 head of cattle were
taken, the produce of their late plundering expeditions. Among
the rest are the tattoos of the grass cutters belonging to the 6th
irregular cavalry, and taken when those unfortunate men were
cut to pieces last summer.
Having made forced marches of 120 miles in three days, to slur.
prise the enemy (the last march made by headquarters and by
Captain Mowat with one aix.pounder and one howitzer, being fifty-
six miles within twenty-four hours, through a desert of sand), I
shall halt here for a day or two to rest the troops, and allow our
supplies to overtake us.
In forwarding the reports of Captains Salter and Jacob, I beg to
draw your attention to the decisive courage, activity, and success
wills which these two officers have executed the orders they re-
ceived, and to the good humour with which the troops have made
these harassing marches in the Desert. Wallee Mahomed, the
Chandia chief, has also shown the greatest zeal and activity, ar-
riving at the point he was ordered, and with the greatest accuracy
as to time; it was that point, teo, at which most resistance was
contemplated.

The 2d Europeans are on their march from Sukkur to this place,
under Major-General Hunter, together with some of the 64th and
4th Regiments of Native Infantry, whose ardent wish to take the
field I thought it fair to these regiments to comply with under
existing circumstances.

The Bundelkund legion crossed the Indus on the 16th, under
Major. General Simpson, and is following the route of Major-Ge-
neral Hunter.

To-morrow every outlet from the hills will be blocked up by the
cavalry-; and I hope to inflict another lesson upon the plundering
tribes.

P.S.--Since writing the above, some men have been capture
who were in the fight at Ooch ; from these we have learned that
about 45 were wounded, and 40 killed ; among the former is Deria
Khan, the chief of the Jakrainees. He received a grape-shot in
his breast, anal was dying. There were 700 men; they thought
they had to deal with Wallee Mahomed Chandia, and were not
aware we were there till the artillery opened. They had drawn up
in battle array to Eight, when Captain Salter charged.

ING THE DETACHMENT, TO MAJOR GREEN, C,11., ASSIST.
ANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, SINDE.
Head-Quarters, Camp, Oooh, Jan. 16, 1845.
3 Sir,-1 have the honour to report, for the information of Major.
) General Sir C. Napier, G.C.8., that I had, last night, the good
fortune to execute successfully his orders for surprising the encamp-
ment of the Beloosh marauders, at Ooch, with the detachment, as
per margin,* under my command.
After a march of forty miles from Khanghur, we reached
Ooch, at eleven P.M.; the cavalry charged down upon the en-
campment and did some execution, but from the hilly nature of the
country they could not repeat the charge with effect after the first
surprise, as the enemy immediaiely took to the surrounding low,
but very steep, hills, and commenced firing with their matchlocks.
In the darkness of the night no just estimate could be formed
of the number of the enemy, but they are reported to have been
about five hundred men, chiefly Jakrainees and Boordees.
Of these there were killed, Sowla, Jakrainee, the brother of
Toochally, a principal chief of the marauders, and his two sons;
and Deldar Khan, the son of Khyra Khan, a Boordee chief;
some other noted marauders were killed or wounded, in all
about sixty men.
Three thousand five hundred head of camels, cattle, sheep, and
goats, the accumulated plunder of the robbers, were taken, and a
quantity of grain ; and the deserted encampment was burnt the
next morning.
I beg to report that Lieutenant Holmes, commanding the 6th
Irregular Cavalry, set his men a most gallant example; his own
horse was wounded, and his orderly's killed ; and Lieut. Pulman,
commanding the two guns, served them with quickness, precision,
and effect.
Mahomed Buksh, Naib Ressaldar, commanding the troop 9th
Irregular Cavalry, an excellent officer, killed the Boordee
chief in my presence, who had just cut down and killed my
orderly's horse.
I have the honour to enclose a return of the killed and wounded
of the detachment, and regret that, in Azir Beg, Ressaldar, 6th
Irregular Cavalry, the corps has lost a brave and valuable officer,
and the Government an old and faithful servant, who had lately
the honour to be favourably noticed in general orders.—l have, &c.,
G. SALTER, Captain 4th Native Infantry,
Commanding the Detachment.

WEXFORD, WATERFORD, AND VALENTIA RAIL-
WAY.—This railway commences at the most eastward
and terminates at the most westward points of Ireland.
It is the nearest to, and must receive the traffic of the
South Wales, and all railways in the south of England.
communicating by Fishguard with the south and west of
Ireland, whose railways also (including several in high
repute in the Share Market) will all be tributary to the
one new proposed, for no doubt the shortest sea passage
and the most direct railway transit will ever have the
advantage in the estimation of tray(•llers, as regards com-
fort and the saving of time and expense ; and should the
Government deci,:e on making the spacious harbour of
v tt. W lentia the packet station r America, this railway
may bt iustly regarded as a great, imperial, if not Euro-
pean, ni;j„-t, and will be one of the best
paying lines in
Ireland. Tt;
hh.length of the line is abo
t 112 miles, and
we understand at; inclinations throughout are very fa-
vourable, so that the Lne will be cheaply woLked. The
Committee, we are informed, intend making uft of the
portion of the Waterford and Kingstown proposed line
between New Ross and Waterford, and of the branci:
from Tralee to Killarney, proposed to be made by an-
other company, so that the capital will be amply sufficient
to complete the undertaking in the best manner. The
Provisional Committee presents the names of many of the
local gentry, and they are ably supported by as Influen-
tial London Committee

CAPTAIN I. JACOB, COMMANDING SINDE IRREGULAR HORSE, TO
MAJOR GREEN, C. 8., ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL.
Shahpoor, Jan. 18, 1845.
Sir,—l have the honour to report that, on the morning of the
13th inst., I marched from Larkanah with the camel corps,
European volunteers, two thre.pounder guns on camels, and the
Sinde irregular horse. We reached Khyrake.Gurree, distant forty
miles, the same evening, found the supply of water at that place
insufficient even for the whole of the men of my detachment ; the
horses and camels got none. On the morning of the 14th, we
marched to Rojan, twenty-four miles, and arrived there at noon;
the supply of water at that place was altogether insufficient for the
detachment, and men and horses were much distressed in conse-
quence. According to orders, I sent the camel corps and volun-
teers to Khanghur, and at noon, on the 15th, I marched with the
Sinde horse and two three-pot.nder guns towards Shahpoor, leaving
nine of our horses behind, in a dying state, from thirst.
I reached Lunda (distant thirty.five miles from Rojan, and about
two from Shahpoor) at half-past eleven at night, and there received
Information that Wuzzeer Khan (son of Beejar Khan Doomkee)
was at Shahpoer with a large party of Jakrainees, Doomkees, and
Boordees. I pushed on at a trot, and completely surrounded the
village of Shahpoor before the alarm was given, or before any one
could escape; and, knowing the place well, I at once galloped into
a sort of inclosure on one side of the village, where the Jakvainee
horsemen usually resided ; there was, however, no one there but
a number of juts and herdsmen ; the enemy had that night occu-
pied the houses inside the village, and now opened a heavy fire of
matchlocks on us from a high tower and from the hotiies.
I immediately picqueted a troop, and took the men into the vil.
lage on foot, when all opposition ceased, and the robbers were only
anxious to hide their arm,. I seized sixty-two prisoners (well
armed, and whose matchlocks had nearly all been used that night),
Jakrainees, Doomkees, and Boordees, among whom are several
Sirdars ; but Wuzzeer Khan, hearing the report of guns fired at
Ooch, about half an hour before we reached Shahpoor, had instantly
mounted his horse and escaped. I believe not a man left the vil.
lage after our arrival, although a tremendous dust storm which arose
just as we reached the place, rendered it very difficult to watch the
place properly.
The fire from the village killed a dufTedar, two somas, and three
horses, and wounded three sowats and five horses. All my men
behaved well in this affair, and I request that you will particularly
bring to notice the excellent conduct of my second in command,
Lieut. G. Malcolm, from whom I received the most able support
and assistance ; of Resseldar Major Sir Feraz Khan, and Resseldar
Meer Furzund Ali ; the last-named officer commanded the troop
which I led into the village on foot.
The Police Resseldar Alif Khan accompanied me from Larkanah,
andduhriisng theservi wholeces were

as
I must not omit to mention Assistant. Surgeon Pelly, who accom-

GREAT MEDITERRANEAN AND ADRIATIC JUNC-
TION RAILWAYS.—We understand that an arrange-
ment has been effected between the Great Mediterra-
nean and Adriatic Junction Railway Company, and the
rival Austrian and Sardinian Company (both formed
for carrying out the line from Genoa), on terms highly
advantageous to the shareholders of both companies.
In answer to the applications already made to the Sar-
dinian Government, the strongest assurances of sup-
port have been obtained, and negotiations to the same
effect are pending with the Austrian Government.

CLASSIC SCULPTURE.—The perfection attained by
the nations of classic antiquity in the arts, especially
that of sculpture, is too well known and appreciated to
require further eulogium at the present day. We may
however cease to wonder at the excellence thus attained,
when we learn the extent to which it was practised,
since we find it recorded by an ancient writer that the
number of statues at Rome exceeded that of its living
inhabitants. It is well known that the master-pieces of
Greek and Roman skill have constantly supplied modern
artists with models mid examples; and we have recently
been much struck with the adaptation of a beautiful
specimen of ancient art, by those distinguished artists
Messrs. Perkins and Bacon, who, for the protection of
an article of deserved celebrity—the Kalydor, prepared
by Messrs. Rowland and Son, of Hatton-garden, have
produced a label depicting a classic group of eminent
grace and beauty—a further description of which fre-
quently appears in our advertising columns.
CONFIRMATION.—The Lord Bishop of Oxford held
a confirmation in St. Mary's Church, on Saturday morning,
when about two hundred under graduates of the different
colleges were admitted to the holy rite.
THE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE ;
the only dye that really answers for all colours, and
does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it
never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint
common to all other dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the.
greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as in-
fallible, if dune at their establishment ; and ladies or
gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend
or servant with them to see how it is used, which will
enable them to du it afterwards without the chance of
failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to
the above purpose, and some of their establishment
having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen.
They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly
to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, nume-
rous persons have succeeded equally well without coming
to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops-
gate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers,
Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers. N.B. Parties attended at
their own residences, whatever the distance.
PUBLIC PARKS.—We learn that the Committee for
the formation of public parks and play-grounds have purchased
Endham Hall estate, at Harpurhey, the residence of Mr. Jonathan
Andrews, for a sum of 7,2501. A few weeks ago they purchased
the Lark-hill estate, in Salford, from Mr. William Garnett, for
7,000/. ; and we beneve these two properties will be laid out as
parks, and ready for occupation in the course of a few months...
