tie knew that the Dean and• Chapter of 11 iii,hester had
spent many thousands a-year in the repair sot their Ca-
thedral. He could not take upon himself to distinguish
between the two cases, where a cathedral was not a pa-
rish church and «'t ere it was; but he conceived that
they were substantially- the same as far as regarded the
repairs of it. Ile should certainly oppose the Bill.
Mr.LYI-11.li.fON said that he should certainly sup-
port the :1111Clikiment. • Ile was sure: ise,!, on examining
the hill, that there semili be a special clause exonerating
i.e bean and Chapter from tepairing'the Catfiedrai,
and that only one pariah (that ef -Temelemore) was
taw .1 to ply i ce:q;iin ',tb of money for that purpose.
He kiW:li it to the See oftitchfield, which had been
termed to 17 the Honourable Baronet proposing the
present inoien, to say that it was no precedent what.
ever. 'foe late I;ishop of. Li:chficld (Lord Cornwallis)
had contributed very large sums of money from his pri•
vate 1 roperty towards tire repairs of the cathedral. The
Dean and Ciereter had hkewise expended immense scams
ia furtherance of the same object. Indeed he was per-
-aaded there was not a body in England that had con.
ti-ilstned more ia:Reiy in repairing Cathedrals than the
Dean and Chanel., I Lit Alien.l.
Sra J. s.-:EWPOR. ' thou: ht the House should be ex.
tremely cautistus-.,ia 'granting repairs for Cathedrals,
especi illy wherellsia:ge a po: tion of the inhabitants
~\ ere of a citferent teliei..us persuasion from those to
whom the measure would he serviceable in their reli-
gious duties. It was a monstrous thing, with a Dean
and Chapter so rich as that of Derry, that they should
he compelled to apply to the Presbyte:ian body for the
loan of their places. worship—( Hear). Ile considered
it was degrading the Church in the eyes of the people
to come to Parliament to ask for money to repair the
places of worship.
Mr. DAWSON said the Cathedral of Derry was too
laree for the parish church, the inhabitants being about
7000 or 8000, but it was not too large for a Cathedral.
A letter had been referred to written by him to the
Nl:tyor of Der ry, ceatveying his scrtiments. He thought
it was not Trite fair to give that letter to the public, but
he was still erepaied to sonata the sentiments thus
conveve'. He did not hesita.e declaring, that when
the Dean and Chapter asked for money towards repair-
' ing the Cathedral, they ought to do oinething towards
p.ayine- ald keeping it in repair—(Hear). He hoped
that the sentiments %silk!) had fallen 7rom Honourable
Members on this question would go forth to the public ;
the Dean and Chapter of Derry woald then have an
opportunity of conside:ing in what light' they stood.
He thet,•,ht at tare same time that it was incumbent on
the H•nts.e to do scone:Ling towards affording the in-
habitants of lhery an opportunity of attending a.,
placl• of worship. .
Mr. PLUNKLTT concurred in the sentiments which
h KI fallen horn several of the Honourable Gentlemen
who were averse to the measure before the House,
but he comiJered it common jostice to say a word or
two respecti.g :he Bishop who presided over the Ste of
Decry. There was not an individual in Ireland, nor
he would add in England, who was More anxious for
the welfare of society, who was a greater promoter of
wor ks of art, or who was more liberal of his private
fortune, than that Right Reverend Prelate. Something
had transpired respecting the Economy Funds. Cer-
tainly they ought to be restored where they had disap-
peared. To what their disappearance was to be attvi-
hilted be did mot know; but he was sire that it behpved
the Clergy of the Establishment, and more especially
at the present time, to entrench themselves in the public
esteem, and rest themselves on public opinion, by the
purity of their conduct.
Sir G. HILL signified that he would accede to the
recommendation pointed nut by the Right Honourable
Gentleman the Attorney-General for Ireland.
Mr. HUME lamented that the rmeion which he *had
proposed a few evenings ago had not been carried. It
would then have appeared, if any abuse existed, to
whom it was attributable. It had been stated that some
of the fnds, caked economy funds, had disappeared,
and that this was not a solitary instance. tilid•the in-
quiry which he sought for been granted, it Would have
been known what had become of those funds.

Mr. W. SMITH, said he should only trouble' the
Home a few moments, understanding that the second
reading of the Bill wa.i given up. lie was anxious that
it might he ascertaiued by whom the. Cathedral of Derry
had been suffeied to go to ruin. It it was the fault of
the Irish Society, he should be desirous of seeing them
repair it; but if it was attributable to the Dean and
Chapter, he hoi.ed they would be compelled to do so.
The motion was then withdrawn.

IVANC;IESTER EQUITABLE LOAN HILT..-CIIMITERED

COMPANIFS.

Lord STANLEY moved the Order of the Day for the
second reading of the Manchester Equitable Loan Bill.
Mr. HUSKISSON thought it right to state, that he
shoull not vote for Bills of the above description. This
was the first opportunity that he had had since he first
called the attention of the House to the subject, of
stating what his determination was with respect to Bills
which ca!led for the enrolment of Companies. Except
in cases where Bills were introduced for the formation
of Canals, or Bills of that description, lie 'hould un-
equivocally oppo,e them, if they called upon Parliament
to incolporate B..dics, unless the parties had pre-
vinuily obtained the consent of the Crown to have a
ch.': ter. This, he apprehended, was the old course of
liamentary proceedings, and he confide: ed that Cor-
poi ations could 014 In: torn:ed by the Executive Go.

to the f•ag Act which passed, establishing, a Gas Com.
pally in LnnJon. He contended that the trade and in-
dustry of the country would be ser:ously ijured, if all
the.CoinpAnies which were now endeavouting to esta-
