FOR. THE SUN.

- ROMAN C:AllIOLICS.

&mon we have a respite front
the
.attatltS of this intolerant sect, till the P.arlia-
meat shall be more at .leisure.t9 attend to their
Petition. Odr Protestant Brethren,'Ntill,j hope'
employ the inte.rfal in strengthening- their de-
fences, and fortifying the. ConstitutlOn:against,se

dangefous an attack:

They have already petitioned the and:
have been graciously received.• Whetiler they
found hew hopes on this or not 1 cannot tell: I
trtist that it indicates nothing more than the gra.:
cions disposition, and, conciliating manners of the
Sovereign. No' want of cadtion respecting the
snare concealed under the Petition.

They have full toleration. With-what face
can the intolerant expect more than thal*? Take
the opinion of a man as much attached to freedom
and to toleration as ever lived :*of 111.ksoN, the
POet. Speaking of the disabilities still attached
to the Roman Catholics, (and, they were more
_then, for the passage was written in the first year
of GEORGE HI.) he says— "
" Surelythis exclusion is perfectly consistent
with the most extensive freedom of religious' seri-,
tirnent, nay perhaps it may appear even necessary
to its tery etistenee for, as in the case .of Civil
Liberty, her preservation demands thatl civil
restraint shall be placed on the .efforts•Of
ranny"; so in the case of R4tGrous LIBERTY it
is essential to the extent'Of toleration, ;bigilamt4y
and vigorouslN to restrain a Religion, whose prin-
ciple Is universal intolerance. It is only the will
to enslave, that is, in either case deprived of
power; or, according to the inspired prediction of
our Gospel-Freedom, it is only Captivity that is
led eaptive.'.'
The sentiment is borrowed from LOCKE, as
acknowledged in a note, but it is'clearly and
forcibly expressed. It will he found in the third
Of MASON'S Sermons, in CADELL'S Edition of his
works, printed in 1811.
The parallel is perfect. As to preserve Civil
Liberty We must place Strong guards against the
incroachments of tyranny ; so to preserve Reli-
gious freedom, we keep powerful checks against
the advances of intolerance !

WICKLIFS.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The works are rapidly proceeding, and it is
expected that,. they will be ready for the raising
of the galleries by Friday or Saturday next, when
an extra number of workmen will be introduced to
complete the works with rapidity. The gradual-
ly raised flooring on which the Pecrs'Bench'es
are Placed, on each side of the [rouse, in an ob-
long direction, is being restored on au improved
plan ; but the seats will be adjusted according to
the previous mode. The frame-work and floor-
ing of the. galleries are being prepared in a"yard
near the House. They will be so constructed and
supported, as to be wholly independent of the
walls ; the breaking of the sides of the. Inuse,
or the removal or damage of any portion of the
tapestry, will thus be rendered unnecessary. To
guard the tapestry from risk of injury, there,will.
be backboards or temporary wainscoting reaching
above the height that might be. affected by the
passing and repassing of the Peers to their seats.
The fronts of the galleries will be 'open; with
light cross-barred iron work, surmounted by a
hand-rail, covered with scarlet cloth, to accord
with the other decorations of the House. At
each end of the galleries, there will be a light
staircase, to enable the Lords to proceed to thei.t
seats.

It has already been stated, that no instructions
have been given to make any peculiar arrange-
ments for the accommodation of any parties to
the Bill, except an enclosed space below the Bar,
for the Counsel, 1% itnesses, &c.; but, that the
Queen and her advisers may have every, possible
accommodation, rapid and private interviews with
each other, facilities for the ingress, egress, and
comfort of her Majesty's witnesses and agelits
of every description, and suitable apartments for
the Queen herself, it has been mentioned that
the house of Sir T. Tyrwhitt, in Cotton-garden,
an open space behind the House of Lords,'.Will
be set apart for 'the exclusive use of her Majesty.
There is a carriage entrance to this house ilong
Parliament-place, and just above the Itoval. en-
trance to the House of Lords ; and while it is
close to their Lordships' House, it has the addi-
tional advantage of being completely separated
from the general thoroughfare of Old Palace-
yard.

The Bank of Ireland now -actually refuss to
receive guineas hi lodgments, and lament they
cannot refuse to receive them in payment of bills.
The cause of this is the low rate of exchange at
present between England and Ireland, by which
the money offices are 'enabled to provide them-
s'elves with gold at 54, which they lodged in the
Bank in great abundance,.and drew c=ut the.next
day at par; thus securing to themselves: an ex-
orbitant' profit. To check this, the Bank came
to the resolution of not receiving gold in lodg-
ment§...

Spa, on Monday last, under the patronage of
Colonel 11411KELEY and the Officers of the Militia,
was attended by all the beauty, rank, a,m.l.fa-
shion, for some miles round. The tables were
laid out in a superior style, and tastefully orna-
mented. Dancing commenced at 10 o'clock,
