SIGNOR REINA.
rro TOMB of NAPOLEON is added to the
ji. Crillection of Pictures, now enbibiting at 56, Pa

fetthie slaw fee inquiry ; fin bethought. if anew thisse.
vested rights could be made out, he should have thiV,
satisfaction of seeing his Noble Friend acting in eau«
*art with him. Now it so happened that an applica-'
was made to an eminent lawyer (Traded), I.llofe
Opinion was clearly to the effect, that the Clerks of
the Peace in Ireland had a freehold estate, by virtue,
of the lst of Geo. IV. in their respective offices, ors
the tenure of good behaviour for life. .Let them, there-
fore, be heard either by Counsel or in a Committee,
in support of their alleged claims rise bedew elsbice'
as to the means; all he wanted was, only that their
Lordships should endeavour to do jostice to persons
to whom -the present Bill would otherwise be one of
heavy pains and penalties. There were many Clerks
of the Peace in his unfortunate country who would
be unable to pay for a deputy if the Bill passed, and,
therefore, be presqined, would hardly think proper
so to disqualify their office at the present time. In
saying this, he begged then- Lordships to understand
that he did not disapprove of the principle, ofthe Bill ;
he approved of it, so far as it went to the certailing,
rof the exorbitant powers of the Grand Juries in Ire-
land ; and his feeling and presentiment were de-
cidedly in favour of any measure which emanated
from an Honourable Friend (Sir John Newport) in
the other House, who had brought in so many Bills
to benefit their common country. Ia reference to the
conduct of the House of Commons in neglecting—
he perhaps ought not, parliamentarily, to add re:
fusing—to communicate the information they had ob-
tained; he certainly would not dispute the right of'
that House to contend for the originating of money
clauses, as relating to the Public, but, in the pre-
sent case, the matter was between, not the Com-
mons and their constituents, but between one party
and another ; and he certainly thought it rather
hard, that because he had the privilege of sitting
among their Lordships, he must never be allowed
to give any opinion relating to .money clauses.—
But the House of Commons was always right in their
money matters ; and they must continue to be right,
because they would not be questioned by any one.
Thus he had perused the Reports of the Committee
of the other House upon this subject, as an indivi-
dual, but he was not entitled to refer their Lordship;
to them: When, however, he compared the provi •
sions of the present Bill with those of last year, re-
specting money, he certainly did aspire to know how
I it happened, that while the salaries of the Clerks of
the Crown in Ireland were in most instances doubled,
the emoluments of the Clerks of.the Peace remained
in Motu quo—why, in short, had their salaries not
been doubled too? This appeared the more extraor-
dinary as the Clerks of the Peace had originally a
much • higher salary than the Clerks of the Crown;'
and, therefore, as the salary of the latter was doubled
or nearly so, he would propose the like doubling in
the office of Clerk of the Peace. He said, this. be-
cause his belief was that the Clerks of the Crown,
upon the proposed scale of remuneration, were not
about to receive too much ; but, unfortunately, the
unheeded Clerks of the Peace happened to have no
Representative of their grievances to the other House,
1-. ad no manner of doubt their salaries would
have been doubled _too. This was the measure to be
wished for, and he desired for no delay ; he wanted
no waiting till next Session, as there was a Northern
Clerk of the Peace for Ireland (Mr. Gibbs), at pre-
sent in town, capable of giving,. if called on, Much
information to their Lordships. He did not wish,
never had he wished, to throw the present Bill up,or
in any way to get rid of it; but he had wished, and
still wished, for some fair and equivalent remunera-.
Lion to a hard working and most useful set of officers,
to whom in its present state the country was indebted
so much. If their Lordships looked to the state of
.the Irish Sheriffs, it would be found that by the 3rd
,and 4th of George 111. those officers lost all vested
interest in the gaol fees; and it would presently not
be worth any one's while to execute the office of Sh.:-
riff in several counties of Ireland if the present Bill
passed into a law. Vexations weie also to be taken,
and repeatedly taken, both for the officer and, by him,
for his deputy. Now the oath formerly sworn, not,
it was true, according to Act of Parliament, but pur-,
suant to established usage, would have satisfied his
,conscience, though it could not satisfy some Hon.
Gentlemen in the other House, whose dislike to the
Clerks of the Peace in Ireland it was difficult to ac-
coant for. When their Lordships but looked at the
situation of Clerk of the Peace—required to attend
'not only two Assizes, but also four Quarter Sessions,
to keep registries of freeholders and arms, and an
open office in the county town for reference—was
there any sort of comparison to be drawn between the
duties of the Clerks of the Peace in Ireland and those
attached to the Clerks of the Crown? He felt great
reluctance in taking up so much of theil• Lordships
time, but when they were passing a very great -pi os
portion of laws respecting his unfortunate country. he
must conjure them seriously to reflect before they
passed the present Bill ; for it was possible not only
for laws to fall into sheer contempt, but also to im-
plicate the framers of them. Anything he could do
he certainly would, to prevent the Bill from pas,iug
in its present state, though he had no objection to the
clause providing for the Clerks of the Crown; but
he must object to the House going now into a Com-
mittee, and he trusted their Lordships would sever
pass a Bill so contrary to that sent up to them last
Session from the House of Commons. Bat the mea-
sure was at their disposal, and he hoped that sortie
Noble laird would 'suggest the ptoperest course.,
Upon the suggestion of the Earl 9f LIVERPOOL, the
alternative was given of postponing the going into a
Committee till either to-morrow or Monday.
The Earl of LIMERICK, on the question sow
being put, declared in favour of the Bill. The argil-1,
moot of his Noble Friend was shortly this—thut their ,
Lordships ought not to proceed to passing such a
Bill in the present state ofllle.mod ; but it vas in
consideration of the actual cow Olden. of thee country ,
that he himself was dispose* proem= the ISM. He.

=the system of Grand Juty► Presentments in
feasts one prdific cause of 'the evils whiCh brio
tweed that unhappy country ; and the -preient Bill
;would prevetwthat jobbing, so' long the detriment
and disgrace of Ireland. He was informed that pre-
isentnients had been made by a certain Clerk of the
'Peace, in one of the Southern Counties, to the amount
of 8001. for duty done, within six months; under the
Insurreetion Act. He should regret the least delay
iajoassiag a Bill of inch importance, for even a single
-year. ft seemed that the Clerks of the Crown had been
roared for in the other House, and, therefore, the
Clerks of the:Peace 'wanted to roar for themselves in
this House.

The Earl of DONOUGHIVIORE rose to Correa
his Noble Friend. ft ippeared that the'Clerlys of the
Crown had roared loudly for themselves ; but thetn-
preteeding Melts. Of the Peace wished to rotr only
through him..,
Lord LORTON supported the Amendment.
Lqrd GOSFORD said, that the' principle of the
Bill was so good that he could not object to it. lie
was willing, however, to believi, that under its pro-
visions the salaries of the Clerks of the Peace were
not equitably arranged.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN adMitted ' that the
salaries ache Clerks of the Peace were too much, but
those of the Clerks of the Crown were perhaps too con-,
siderable ; he, therefore, would have no objection to
an inquiry into that subject. In the meantime be
thought he was bound to sanction 'the present Bill,
against the principle of which no object ion was urged.
Lord DONOUGHMORE thought that the Bill was
a bad Bill. He. was willing to admit that some such
measure was necessary ; and as far as thit admission
went he sanctioned the principle of the present Bill ;
but he could not sanction a Bill such as it now ap-
peared, since it was obviously unjust in its provisions.
Lord LIVERPOOL said, his opinion upon this
measure must 'of course be regulated by those who
were better acquainted with the state of the csointry
to which it applied than himself. He could not, how-
ever, abstain from thinking, thit the principle of this
Bill ought not to be surrendered—it was calculated
to take from Grand Juries the privilege of exercising
a power, capable, in his opinion, of great abuse—the
privilege of providing for Clerks of the Crown. But
as the Clerks of the Crown were supposed to have a
vested interest in their situations, he thought they had
a right to be beard by Counsel; and lie therefore
suggested to the Noble Marquis the propriety cf port-
poning the Committee..
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the
very assertion made by the Clerks of the Crown, that
they had a *Cited interest in their situations; entitledt
them to be heard upon that point by Counsel. • He
' had, however, a tolerably strong opinion upon the
subject, at least as regarded the tenure by which the
Clerks of the Peace held their situations.
Lord REDESDALE was quite sure that the Clerks
of the Peace would receive an ample compensation
under the present Bill. But he agreed with the Noble
and Learned Lord. that their simple assertion that
they possessed .a vested right in their offices, entitled
them to be.heard, '
The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that he cer-
tainly still thought that these Gentlernen had not the
slightest pretence for asserting that they had a vested
right in their situations ; but he consented willingly
that the Further consideration of the Committee
should be deferred till Monday next, for the purpose
of hearing CoOnael. . At the same time he begged it
to be undergooa'that he yielded his opinion merely
to the feeling of the Noble Earl Opposite and the
Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack; and that
he could not allow it to be imagined for 4 moment
that his mind had changed upon this point..
The further consideration of the Committee was
deferred until Monday, and the Petitioners referred
to a Conimittee, to be heard by Counsel as to their
own interest.
CATHOLIC AND DISSENTERS MARRIAGE BILL.
Lord LANSDOWN, in moving that this Bill should
be read a second time, observed, that it was then
scarcely necessary for him to dwell upon the impe-
rious necessity of some legislative enactment calcu-
lated to quiet the conscientious feelings of a large
portion of the community upon so momentous a sub-
ject as that of marriage. There was no human con-
tract more serious, none more solemn, or more power-
fully appealing to the sympathies of man. At the
moment then, when this 'sacred stipulation was per-
forming, when he was pledging fidelity and firmness
to the future partner of perhaps his toils, perhaps his
' privations, but certainly his entire and undivided at-
tachment, it was dreadful to fancy that, his willing
promises should and an insurmountable interference
lin the very form of the marriage solemnity. As-
suming toleration to be the general principle upon
Which we legislated, this was not the exact moment
.'we should select to take an exception to that universal
principle. The.parties then were, as it wus admitted, •
'entering into anew and holy state, and at the very.
,moment is hen .they were entering into that state, to
requi.e of them anything like equivOcation, VMS IllaSt
'criminal; 'He bad noftia .argoe• .that 'House that
any i'aconsenience-ivou',4 arise to the State, or any
danger to the Church from the removal of such pro-
visions as opposed The conscientious consummation
of Marriage. He only desiredsnch a consummation;
and further, to havetllat consummation' registeied.
Upon these grounds, not professing that the present
Bill couiebe.expected to be perfecsi and willing to
hear every possible objection against ir, he moved
that' thißill should then be read a second time.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he was
' very reladant to oppose this Bill; bait was bronsht
forward at too lite a period of the Session. He was
a friend to enlightened toleration; butt he could not
consent toga Bill which did. not. bring forward the
pretensions; or, adoptitig a word which he was mach
more disposed to use, the just tights of the Pisseaters.
This was a Bill sviiich. would enable marriages
to be celebrated in estgry strect leety village in
