THE very numerous and continued visits
11. with which so many of the NOBILITY and
GENTRY have honoured the " EMPORIUM" have
rendered that Magazin des Modes universally proverbial,
not only for its FASHIONABLE ASSORTMENTS and
variety of SPLENDID ARTICLES, but also for its un-
paralleled cheapness and undeviating adherence to the prices
advertised or affixed ; the latter circumstances, so rare in
the present manceuvering days (originating from Adver-
tisements published solely for the obvious purpose of in-
viting and alluring the Public, without the intention or
even the means of supplying the articles at the specified
prices), whereby some of the truly national and beneficial
objects of " subverting nefarious and demoralizing systems"
are embraced, as the distinguished patronage already con-
ferred upon those endeavours demonstratively prows, awl
is most conclusive of its pre-eminent and envied superio-
rity, thereby rendering. any thing beyond the respectful
and grateful acknowledgments of t'-e Proprietors almost
suiserfluous ; but notwithstanding Messrs. WAGNER and
CHAPMAN have the gratification of informing their nu-
merous Friends and the Public that they have just stoched
the '6 EMPORIUM" with every novelty at once attrac-
tive, useful, and elegant, adapted to the present and ap-
proaching seasons, which they are offering en the same
advantageous and economical terms that have hitherto pro-
cured them such general and unqualified approbation, and,
therefore, they submit another correct List of some of their
great bargains, which, as before, only require inspection to
ensure considerable sales to those who purchase for ready-
money. _

EMPORIUM, Nos. 41 and 42, Oreele-otrse44 BslisP,
April 8, 100,.

On Sunday last, a Sermon was preached at
the Parish Church of St. Martin in the Fields, by the
Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of BATH and Nirxx.Ls, for the
benefit of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear.
His Lordship delivered an excellent discourse on the bene-
ficial effects of the Charity, the benevolent views of which
are not confined to the inhabitants of the metropolis, but
extend to every individual. Since its establishment in
1816, upwards of 7,950 patients have been admitted, 3,120
cured, and 2,330 relieved, including many cases of Deaf
and Dumb, for perhaps, it is not generally known that
follows. After the sermon, several Deaf and Dumb when Deafness occurs in early infancy, Dumbness always
Chil-
dren, who had obtained their hearing and speech by the
means employed at the Dispensary, presented themselves
at the vestry, accompanied by their parent..

Mr. Crayfer presented accounts of Wool, Corn, &c.,
imported for the last year.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved that certain
persons be allowed to attend the Select Committee, to give
evidence in the Coal Trade of London.
Lord ROSSLYN moved that the Duke of Newcastle
Lind Lord Rolle be permitted to enter their Protest, as Dis-
sentients on the Second Reading of the Bill for the Relief
of the Roman Catholics, before two o'clock to-morrow.
The Marquis of ANGLESEA had several petitions, some
against clauses in the Bill for relieving the Catholics,
some referring to the conduct of an individual in the other
House, and all generally against the Disfranchisement
Bill. The Noble Marquis felt he should he eeonomizing
the time of their Lordships if, at the present
_moment,
he was permitted to say a few words with. respect to
these petitions ; having stated his opinion, he thought
it would be better that he should say nothing on the
petitions afterwards. First, he did not believe the Bill
would alter the situation of the clergy of Ireland, he
should therefore wish the clause in that respect to be ex-
punged altogether. Then, as to an individual, who had
it in "'le: Asper to create inconvenience, that person
had nothing to do but to go up to the other House and
refuse to take the oath, though the Noble Marquis under-
stood he had no intention of doing so, and their Lord-
ships might then be amused with another Clare election.
Then, as to the Jesuits, they were, in his opinion,
a very useful body in the instruction of youth. He
trusted they would not be suppressed, and that
the young men of Ireland will still have the advantage of
their instruction, but not be Jesuits. Another part of
greater importance than any was the disfranchising of the
forty-shilling freeholders. Was it necessary that 480,000
freeholders should be deprived of their vested rights on ac-
count of the vices of the system ? The system might be
amended like other systems. This was his feeling. It appeared
that the forty-shilling fieeholders had been approved of—as
long as they submitted to be driven up to the hustings
like a flock of sheep to the shambles, no complaints were
made. The system was then suffered to go on ; but the
moment the people found out the value of their rights, and
exerted them in a constitutional though an inconvenient
way, that moment show rights were to be swept out of
political existence. Having said thus much, he would
invite the Ministers of the Crown to reconsider the
ob-
noxiens clauses; he hoped that they might yet be omitted,
and that the Bill might not be pressed forward against the
forty-shilling freeholders. The system might be practi-
cally inconvenient ; and though it might require amend •
anent, it was not therefore necessary that the franchise
should be abolished. Notwithstanding the objections he
had stated to these clauses, and to the Bill for disfranchising
the forty-shilling freeholders, it was not his intention, as
he did not consider them of paramount importance, to do
any thing to impede the progress of the great and impor-
tant measure, which he conscientiously believed was ne-
cessary to the prosperity, if not to the safety of the em-
pire. Having stated his objections, and his determination
not to take part in the proceedings at any future stage of
the Bill, unless by giving his silent rote, the Noble Mar-
quis concluded by presenting a petition from the Roman
Catholics of the city of Waterford, against the clause in
the Catholic Relief Bill relating to the religious orders.
IThe Marquis of LONDONDERRY was anxious to
say a few words in relation to the Bill that was read a
second time on Saturday, on several accounts. As he
understood that Bill, it was to settle the question defini-
tively; but if it hail contained any securitis, any restric-
tions, they would have been left as a legacy to the suc-
cessors of the Noble Duke, who would have to make other
concessions. He had hoped the Catholic Clergy would
have been provided for—and he believed they would wil-
lingly accept a provision that would have connected them
with the State, and would have given both the Govern-
ment and the Church the best security they could have.
The Noble Marquis read some passages, but whether
they were parts of a speech or of a letter we could not

tell, in support of his opinion. He believed, if the mea-
sure of relief had been carried at the Union with Ireland,
it would have been better for the two countries ; but it
was not in the power of the Ministers then to accomplish
it—it was reserved for that Illustrious Individual who had
been able to bring the people to that decision which bad
been shewn by the votes of their representatives, and who
had been able to guide their Lordships to that conclusion
they had come to by so large a majority on Saturday even-
ing. He could have wished, and he believed that this was
the general opinion in Ireland, that the qualification had
been raised to 151. or 201. His Lordship also objected
to the power given to the Assistant Barristers under
the Disfranchisement Bill, and he said he hoped that
Ministers would take care of the landed interest which
was involved by the power given under the Bill to
the Assistant Barrister. The Noble Marquis then ad-
verted to the disturbances which bad existed in Ire-
land during the last year, which he said had been, he
thought, partly caused by the countenance some of the
members of the Catholic Association had received at the
Castle, which, without its being so intended, had the effect
of making the people of the North of Ireland suppose that
there was a degree of undue partiality shewn to the Catho-
lics. The Noble Marquis concluded a speech that was
very imperfectly heard below the bar, in consequence of
there being much conversation within the bar, by com-
plimenting the Duke of Wellington, and by complimenting
the Noble Lords on the cross benches, who, though they
were now opposed to him, had formerly been united with
him, and had guided the country through many difficulties.
The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented two other peti-
tions from the county of Louth against the Disfranchise-
ment Bill.

Lord CARBERY was astonished at the ingratitude of
the Roman Catholics of Ireland. At the very moment
that they were receiving the boon they had so long asked for,
they came forward to petition that they might retain the
power to do mischief. Ile felt their ingratitude, and could
not help expressing his indignation.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE defended the Roman
Catholics.

The Marquis of ANGLESEA presented the remainder
of his petitions—in all seventeen—on the different subjects
he had mentioned in his speech—some of them also being
against the Vestry Act.

Viscount CLUDENpresnrited a petition from the Secu-
lar Clergy of the Diocese of Ferns, and a second petition
from some place in Ireland, against the Clauses of the Re-
lief Bill that relate to the Jesuits.
Earl GREY presented a petition from Wellingborough,
in favour of the Catholics; and a petition from Mr. George
Ensor, against the Disfranchisement Bill, which, the
Noble Etrl said, was well worthy of their Lordships' at-
tention, as it was well drawn up, and proved that the in-
dividual, whom be did not know, was a person of consider-
able intelligence, and stated his argument in a forcible
manner.

Lord MANSFIELD did not think it generally proper,
in presenting a petition, to discuss the subject to which the
petition referred. But at the same time he thought it
right to do so on the present occasion, if the petitioner
prayed to be heard by counsel.
Earl GREY stated, that the petitioner did not prey to
be heard by counsel.
The petition was then laid on the table.

Methodists in Southwark,
Lord FARNHAM presented a petition against conces-
sion to the Catholics, from a congregation of Wesleyan
signed Rey 556 persons; and he
understood that this was to be followed by petitions to the
same effect from all th:, congregations of Wesleyan Metho-
dists in London. fits Lordship presented a petition to
the same effect from the Mayor, Sheriff, and Citizens of
the Corporation of Dublin, under their corporation seal ;
also petitions to the same effect from the corporation of
tailors in Dublin; and from the Protestants of the county
and city of Kilkenny. His Lordship also presented a pe-
tition to the same effect from the managers, directors, and
teachers of the free school in Grafton-street, Fitzroy-square,
in the parish of St. Pancras. The petitions were laid on
the table.

The Earl of ELDON presented petitions against con-
cessions to the Catholics, from freeholders of the county of
Brecon ; from the Wesleyan Methodists in the town of
Buckingham ;
from certain inhabitants of Hampstead ;
from the parish of Drysdale, in the county of Dumfries ;
from the parish of Ladykirk, in Scotland; from a pariah

Lord LITTLETON had a petition to presant on the
sume subject ; but before he presented it, he requested the
attention of the House to an explanation which he was
about to give with reference to what he had mentioned to
the House respecting Dr. Forrester He had been in-
formed by authority upon which he had placed the most
implicit reliance, that Dr. Forrester had encouraged the
circulation of a most improper placard or hand-bill in his
parish, awl lie thought it his duty to mention the circum-
stance when the petition from this part was presented.
He had on Saturday a letter from Dr. Forrester, in which
he explicitly disclaimed all knowledge of the placard in
question, or its circulation. He felt it to be the duty of a
Member of Parliament, when he was convinced that he
had been mistaken in any statement which he made, to
take the earliest opportunity to set the matter right.
He was verYlsorry for the mistake into which he had fallen
with respect to the Rev. Prebendary ; and he hoped that
this explanation and justification of the Rev. Prebendary
would circulate as widely as the imputation, which he had,
through mistake, cast on, the worthy Clergyman.—(Hear,
hear.)—He hoped this explanation would prove satisfac-
tory, and fully clear the character of the Rev. Prebendary.
His Lordship then presented two petitions in favour of
Concession to the Catholics ; one from the Catholics of
Washington, and another from the Protestants of the same
place, to the same et-rect.—Laid on the table.

The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a petition from
a place called Butlers-town, in Ireland, against the Free-
holders' Qualification Bill.

Lord PLUNKETT presented a petition from Dublin, in
favour of concession to the Catholics.

Lord MOUNTCASHE[, presented petitions against
concession to the Catholics, from the Editor, Publisher,
lice. of the Birmingham Journal, and from a Congrega-
tion of Presbyterian Protestants, in the county of Antrim.
The congregation consisted of 1,000 families, of whom no
more than 30 were favourable to the removal of the Co-
tholic disabilities. His Lordship also presented a petition
to the same effect from the Managers and Teachers of the
Sunday Schools in the Western District of the Metropolis,
signed by 306 persons, nmoe of them being under 16 years
—nor females. These persons felt themselves very much
interested in this subject, as to which they were very ca-
pable of forming a sound judgment, and the petition,
therefore, WB3 of great importance, and worthy of parti-
cular attention.

The petitions were laid on the table.
Lord SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from
Woodstock against concession to the Catholics.

Lord LONGFORD presented three petitions to the
same effect from the counties of Nottingham, Donegal, and
Dublin.

The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from
Aberdeen and Montrose in ftrour of concession to the
Catholics.

Lord HOLLAND presented petitions to the same effect
from certain Dissenters in the county of Suffolk, &e.
The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from
Sheffield against concession to the Catholics.

The Duke of SUSSEX had a petition-To present to-
morrow against concession to the Catholics (as we un-
derstood) from certain of the clergy of the Archdeaconry
of Ely. It was signed by two persons, who were sup-
posed to have no right to sign it, and one of them htd ex-
pressed a wish to withdiaw his name.
Earl DARNLEY presented a petition from a Roman
Catholic Bishop and Clergy in the county of Meath in
favour of the Catholics.

Lord FARNHAM objected to this on the ground of
irregularity, as he doubted whether a Roman Catholic
Bishop had a right to present a petition in that character.
Earl DARNLEY consented to withdraw the petition.
Earl DARNLEY took the opportunity, on presenting a
petition from the Roman Catholics of Wicklow, against
the Sub-letting Act, to state that both the Roman Catholic
Clergy and LlitY would be too well satisfied with the Bill
of Relief, the second reading of which took place on Sa-
turday, to insist upon auy minor objects. .
