Parish of St. Patrick, in the County of Kilkenny, against the 'lithe
Curnpol.ricin Act, which, he stated, was numerously signed ; hut
upon the Petition being ordered to be read, it was discovered that
it was addressed to the House of Commons.

Viscount CLIFDEN—My countrymen, my Lords, frequently
make mistake• ; I happen to have made one; and therefore 1 sh ill
withdraw the Petition.

The Noble Vi.count then presented a Petition from the Parish
of Illackrath, in the County of laliteany, to the sante effect. Ile
reminded their Lordships that it was an ominous name, and be-
lieved the con:ents of the Petition to be well founded. It was im-
possible for Ireland to cortiruc to support twenty-two Bishops with
the immune revenues they at present enjoyed. He did not wish to
see the tithes given up to the landholders, but he certainly did wish
to see them fairly sold.

plain his reasons more at larLe ; and could only say, at present, that
he regardec: such a measure as mush preferable to the Bill which
had rectiead the sanction of both Houses.

The LIVERPOOL :hen moved the adjournment of the
House, whidi adjourned till to-morrow morning at ten o'clock.
