demise who has produced it be a Member of this House,
-can emseinee me that I am out of order, I shall imme-
diately sit down • but, if he "lif not • Member of the
House, or that he does nut like whet I am crying; be
is quite at liberty to withdraw—(Cheers and laughter).
Big, I repeat, the interruption was unnecessw and
improper.
Mr. C. DAWSON, in allusion to the assertion that
'the rising talent of the country was on the side of anti
Catholic principles, stated that, at a debating society,
consisting of the junior students of Oxford, a question
;impose.' during the late election was, whether the Go-
, vernment deserved the confidence of the country for
the new measures about to be brought forward? and
that, after an animated debate, the meeting decided in
fsvour of concession by a majority of two to one. He
' was sum that the poll taken at the Oxford election
would, when published, show that the mature and well
known talent of the University were on the side of the
questongo which the Hon. Baronet was opposed.
Lord MILTON reminded those Honourable Mem-
bers who boasted that the learning of the country was
sante to Concession, that another as respectable a
body of learned persons, namely, the University of
Cambridge, had recently decided in favour of Emanci-
. potion.
Mr. FYNE., CLINTON had been at the recent elec-
tion for the University of Oxford, and had some res-
. sons for thinking that the majority of the younger
students were opposed to the principle of Concession.
Of the debating society alluded to by the Him. Mem-
ber, all he could say was, that, if it consisted only of the
' same number of members as it di .Iwhen he was a student,
it would bear but a small proportion to the general
. number of students contained in the University. As
to the assertion that the poll, when published, would
prove the learning of the University to have been in
favour of the Right Honourable Secretary, he begged
leave to deilare that the Gentlemen who voted for the
serum cif his Wnourable Friend were distinguished
alike for their respectability of station in the Church,
in the University, in society, and for their general
worth, learning, and talent. Honourable Members on
the other ',Woof the question had blamed those Win.
• Friends of los who had termed the introduction of the
new Mini Aerial measures a change in the Constitu-
tion; but surely, when it had been admitted by a Mi-
.'
Eiger in his place in that House, that these measures
would break in upon the Constitution of 1688, it was
hard to censure those Honottrable Friends of his for

using improper language when they called such a
as ea sur e a change of the Constitution.
Mr. TENNYSON denied that measures of relief for

the Catholics made any change in the ConstitutiOn as
established in 1688. The Bill of Rlgh;s went no fur-
. then than to eiclude a Papist King from the Throne.
Lord MORPETH dened that all the eminent persons
• of every l rotession were opposed to Emancipation.
• The petition that was shortly about to be presented in
favour of Concession from the bar of England would
. co, lute ti e Honourable Baronet's assertion on that

point. As to Oxford, it was enough to know that of
fourteen Professors, eleven had voted io favour of Mr,

Peel. If the rising talent of the country was friendly
. .
toexclusive principles, it was a pity it did not show
sonar practical i►lu,tratiun of its existence, rather than
be content

Sit J. Gl{ AiIANI I eifig. ked of the 'lames affised to

oar of the peti that -it wa. very difficult to aster-
. - lairs what. were the (vial. tr,, of the Poet Laureate on the
bUTCL 01 Emancipation, inasmuch as that Gentleman
had charged his o, inions so • ft, n on political matters.
He woulcl, however, bullet take to say that the opinions
of the Laureate would be found to be now, as they
usually were, it, favour of any measures proposed by
his Maje,ty's Government. It the rising talent of the
country was adver e to courts ion, it was very surprit-
: ing that it was found so disposed every where but
itlion the walls of that House. The publication of the
• pill of the Oxford University election would prove that
eve among Cl.u, chmen mete existed a great difference
_of opinion on the subject. For his putt he regretted
the result of that election, and if ever the Cbuich in-

teseits—the High Church inters ti—should come into
' danger, then the University if Oxford, too, would re.
• gret that result, and would regret their present chaos-
pion. The day may not be distant-

Mr. DUNCOMBE, too, bad been at the Oxford
election, and understood, from conversations which he

bad with many members of that- University distin-
guished for their learning, that they voted for the Right
HOU:Secret4ty, nut through approbation of she mea-
sures about to be recommended by that Right Hon.
Secretary. but becau+e he haebeen their old Member,
and ens a proper Representative for the University.—
F. r these season., and not through a desire to support'
a measure of concession, many Learned Members of
ti e Utiover.ity had given their support to the Right
~Hisn. Gentleman.
The Prtitioos were then lald on the table. They were from
Slagiatratirs, Clergy, and Gentry of Bolton le Ninon; South
!Shields ; the Preshyrery of Caithness; and from Kessekli, county
of Cumberland—against tunher concessions to Roman Catholics.
"Si. R: H. INGLIS disclaimed all i Mention of enter-
ing on that ritca,ion int . the question of the late elec-
tion foe the U. iversity of Oxford; but he would repeat
what he bad said before, 'hat the ri.ing talent of the
country was not in favour of concession to the Catholics.
A, a proof if the eorteeiness r f his assertion, he was
enabled to state that thin) first class mencarne forward

port, not through personal preferencelor him jSir R.

Mr. Southey ost the subject, "he seas enabled to state;
on the anthotity of an intimate friend of that Gentle-
man's (the Honourable Member for hlontgomer)), sit Cr
the question of Rmancipcion was discussed in this
